CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:160:00:20

Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.

0:00:230:00:26

Welcome to Pointless, the show where all the questions have been asked

0:00:260:00:29

to 100 people before the show.

0:00:290:00:30

All our contestants have to do is come up with the answers

0:00:300:00:33

no-one else can think of. Let's meet today's players.

0:00:330:00:35

APPLAUSE

0:00:350:00:38

Couple number one. Hello, I'm Christine,

0:00:380:00:42

this is my friend and colleague, Pauline,

0:00:420:00:44

and we're from the island of Arran.

0:00:440:00:46

Couple number two. Hi, I'm Katy, this is Neil,

0:00:460:00:48

and we're friends from St Andrews.

0:00:480:00:50

Couple number three. I'm Ricky, this is my friend, Craig.

0:00:500:00:53

We're both from London.

0:00:530:00:54

And, finally, couple number four.

0:00:540:00:56

Hi, I'm Ramsey, this is my friend, Kevin,

0:00:560:00:58

and we're from Leamington Spa.

0:00:580:00:59

These are today's contestants.

0:00:590:01:01

APPLAUSE

0:01:010:01:03

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

0:01:030:01:06

We'll find out more each of you throughout the show

0:01:060:01:09

as it goes along. That just leaves one more person to introduce.

0:01:090:01:12

A man whose compliments couldn't be more backhanded

0:01:120:01:15

if they came from Roger Federer himself,

0:01:150:01:17

it's my Pointless friend Richard.

0:01:170:01:19

Hiya. Hi, everybody. APPLAUSE

0:01:190:01:22

Good afternoon to you. Good afternoon.

0:01:220:01:24

What a show we saw last time.

0:01:240:01:26

Genuinely, one of the great performances, I would say,

0:01:260:01:28

in Pointless history. Johnny and Duncan.

0:01:280:01:30

Duncan was great, Johnny was unbelievable, though.

0:01:300:01:33

First round, best possible score you could get, got the best score

0:01:330:01:36

on his board. Second round, he gave us a pointless answer.

0:01:360:01:39

Head-to-head, 2-0, no problem at all.

0:01:390:01:43

Duncan really helped him out as well on the head-to-head.

0:01:430:01:46

And then in the final, US presidents,

0:01:460:01:48

1 point, pointless, pointless. Just incredible.

0:01:480:01:51

?2,500 they won, and they wanted it for a lock-in. Yeah.

0:01:510:01:55

They said that is very much the dream. They deserve it as well.

0:01:550:01:59

They were amazing. Two returning pairs from that show -

0:01:590:02:02

Pauline and Christine, who were knocked out in Round One,

0:02:020:02:04

so want to see more of you this time, hopefully,

0:02:040:02:08

and Round Two, we saw the end of Neil and Katy,

0:02:080:02:10

who are also very good players. So, it should be a lot of fun today,

0:02:100:02:14

but you'd go some way to beat that performance. Impressive, wasn't it?

0:02:140:02:18

Really impressive. Really nice lads as well. Really nice. There it is.

0:02:180:02:20

Thank you very much, Richard.

0:02:200:02:22

Duncan and Johnny won the jackpot last time,

0:02:220:02:24

so today's jackpot starts off again at ?1,000.

0:02:240:02:28

If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:280:02:30

APPLAUSE

0:02:300:02:33

All you have to remember is the pair with the highest score

0:02:360:02:40

at the end of each round will be eliminated. That is all.

0:02:400:02:42

Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category this afternoon is...

0:02:420:02:46

History. Can you decide in your pairs

0:02:480:02:50

who's going first, who's going second.

0:02:500:02:52

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

0:02:520:02:55

OK, the question concerns...

0:02:580:03:01

21st century events, Richard.

0:03:030:03:05

Quite a loose definition of "history", I would say. Yeah.

0:03:050:03:08

On each board,

0:03:080:03:09

we'll show you seven events that took place in the 21st century.

0:03:090:03:12

We need you to tell us the year they took place in, please.

0:03:120:03:15

There will be seven on each board, 14 in all to have a go at home.

0:03:150:03:18

Best of luck. OK, so in what years did the following events take place?

0:03:180:03:22

Here is our first board of seven.

0:03:220:03:24

I'll read all of those again.

0:03:440:03:46

Christine, welcome back. From the isle of Arran. Yes.

0:04:050:04:09

Wonderful to have you back again. Round One last time. Yes.

0:04:090:04:12

Far too soon to be saying goodbye. Thank you.

0:04:120:04:15

Remind us what you do, Christine.

0:04:150:04:17

I work in a local high school in the learning support department

0:04:170:04:20

as a classroom assistant. And when the holidays come, what do you do?

0:04:200:04:25

Do you get off the island?

0:04:250:04:27

No, I usually stay at home, although this summer,

0:04:270:04:30

we haven't had very good weather recently, but I like to walk.

0:04:300:04:34

Obviously, where we live, there is plenty scope for walking,

0:04:340:04:37

so I do a lot of walking.

0:04:370:04:38

Yeah, I suppose a lot of interesting birdlife and things like that

0:04:380:04:42

on the isle of Arran as well. I also enjoy fishing as well. Fantastic.

0:04:420:04:45

Now, Christine, how are you liking our board of recent history?

0:04:450:04:49

I'm not! Hmm.

0:04:490:04:52

Um, I'm going to go for the Queen Elizabeth II,

0:04:520:04:56

but I'm still not quite sure whether to say 2002 or 2003.

0:04:560:05:03

I'm going to say 2003. OK, for the Golden Jubilee.

0:05:030:05:08

2003, says Christine.

0:05:080:05:11

Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said 2003.

0:05:110:05:15

Oh, Christine, I'm sorry.

0:05:180:05:21

I am sorry. That's an incorrect answer and it scores you 100 points.

0:05:210:05:25

Sorry, I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the pass.

0:05:250:05:28

I've got such a blind spot on years, when things happened. Mmm.

0:05:280:05:32

I cannot do it.

0:05:320:05:33

Well, I can, cos I've got them all written down,

0:05:330:05:36

so I'm actually pretty good on this board,

0:05:360:05:38

but before I'd looked, I was pretty bad.

0:05:380:05:41

Yeah, it's hard, really tough, that one.

0:05:410:05:44

Now, Katy, welcome back. Remind us what you do, Katy.

0:05:440:05:47

I just graduated in maths. Just graduated in maths at St Andrew.

0:05:470:05:51

Have you had a lovely time at St Andrews? It's been wonderful.

0:05:510:05:54

What are your favourite memories of your time there?

0:05:540:05:57

I was part of a saxophone quartet

0:05:570:05:59

and that was a really nice thing to do.

0:05:590:06:01

Saxophone... Have you got a name?

0:06:010:06:03

No, we're the University of St Andrews

0:06:030:06:06

Saxophone Scholarship Quartet.

0:06:060:06:08

See, that is good, because so often... Catchy.

0:06:080:06:11

There are puns available. Yeah.

0:06:110:06:13

The Fairer Sax, I remember, was a female saxophonist group.

0:06:130:06:17

Anyway, Katy, what would you like to go for on our board? I don't know.

0:06:170:06:22

I'm trying to count back. Um...

0:06:220:06:24

I think I'm going to count back wrong for Gordon Brown.

0:06:250:06:28

I guess I'll go for Rebecca Adlington,

0:06:280:06:30

and I don't think it was the one before London, I'm hoping,

0:06:300:06:36

so I'm going to say it's 2004.

0:06:360:06:38

2004, says Katy. 2004 for Rebecca Adlington's first gold medal.

0:06:380:06:42

Let's see if that's right.

0:06:420:06:44

No, bad luck, Katy, I'm afraid that's another incorrect answer.

0:06:460:06:50

Phew, first podium are heaving

0:06:500:06:52

a sigh of relief there.

0:06:520:06:54

Bit of company on the 100. But that scores you 100 points, Katy.

0:06:540:06:58

It's going well, isn't it? Yes, it is. Terrific stuff, so far. Yeah.

0:06:580:07:01

Craig, welcome to Pointless. Thank you.

0:07:010:07:04

Great to have you here from London. That's right.

0:07:040:07:07

Originally from Scotland.

0:07:070:07:08

Whereabouts in Scotland are you from? Fife. From Fife.

0:07:080:07:11

And what do you do in London? Um, I'm a freelance PR assistant.

0:07:110:07:16

OK, any particular kind of PR you work in? Movies, books...

0:07:160:07:23

See, that's quite fun. And what are your interests, Craig?

0:07:230:07:26

Um, I'm really into music.

0:07:260:07:29

I love politics, reading biographies, the royal family.

0:07:290:07:35

OK, so how are you feeling about this as a category? This is it.

0:07:350:07:39

Gordon Brown became Prime Minister, I could have a guess at.

0:07:390:07:42

The best one I could probably go for

0:07:420:07:45

is the Live 8 concerts took place, and I think it was in 2007.

0:07:450:07:51

2007, says Craig. Let's see how many of our 100 people said 2007.

0:07:520:07:57

No, I'm afraid that's another...

0:08:000:08:03

Might give those monks a ring. LAUGHTER

0:08:030:08:05

That's another incorrect answer. Scores you 100 points.

0:08:050:08:09

We should show this round to some academic researchers

0:08:090:08:13

to take a look at our short-term memory. Yeah.

0:08:130:08:16

I wonder what could possibly have gone wrong with it.

0:08:160:08:19

But genuinely, I have to say I would be doing equally as badly.

0:08:190:08:23

There we are, thank you.

0:08:230:08:25

Now then, Ramsey, welcome to Pointless.

0:08:250:08:27

Great to have you here. What do you do, Ramsey?

0:08:270:08:29

I work in sales and accounts for a sports science company

0:08:290:08:33

back in Leamington. So, a sports science company. What's that?

0:08:330:08:36

I'm imaging you making sports drinks but... No, I wish it was.

0:08:360:08:40

I'm making sports heart rate monitors for football clubs

0:08:400:08:44

and athletics teams to progress their fitness. That's good.

0:08:440:08:47

And what are your interests when you're not...?

0:08:470:08:50

Playing sport, watching sport, music.

0:08:500:08:52

We go to quite a lot of live music. Photography.

0:08:520:08:56

I'm quite a keen amateur photographer. Keeps me busy.

0:08:560:08:59

OK, Ramsey, the stage is set here for you to triumph.

0:08:590:09:03

There's a whole board of things you can go for.

0:09:030:09:06

There's one certainty and that's the bottom one. London hosted in 2012.

0:09:060:09:11

I could hazard a guess at the other ones,

0:09:110:09:14

but the top one I'm not sure on. I'd just guess 2002.

0:09:140:09:18

I think the second one is 2012 as well.

0:09:180:09:21

I think it was in the same year as the Olympic Games - I think.

0:09:210:09:24

Live 8 concerts - 2007

0:09:240:09:28

But the one I'm going to go for is Rebecca Adlington.

0:09:280:09:30

I think she won it in 2008. 2008, Ramsey. Yes.

0:09:300:09:35

OK, let's just make sure the column's still working.

0:09:350:09:38

It's been a while.

0:09:380:09:40

Let's see how many of our 100 people said 2008

0:09:400:09:42

for Rebecca Adlington's first gold.

0:09:420:09:44

There we go!

0:09:460:09:47

Ah, listen, that's got Round Two written all over it. 24.

0:09:500:09:54

Very well done, Ramsey. That's all right.

0:09:540:09:57

APPLAUSE Well played, Ramsey.

0:09:570:09:59

Those Olympic years are rather helpful in rounds like this.

0:09:590:10:03

Let's take a look at the other answers you gave us.

0:10:030:10:05

You suggested 2002 for the top one. That was 2015.

0:10:050:10:09

LAUGHTER

0:10:090:10:12

Within the 21st century, that's almost as far out as you can get.

0:10:120:10:15

The good news is you didn't say it.

0:10:150:10:17

Queen Elizabeth you said was 2012.

0:10:170:10:20

That was 2002.

0:10:200:10:22

Gordon Brown became Prime Minister? 2007.

0:10:240:10:27

2007, correct.

0:10:270:10:29

You said the Live 8 concerts were in 2007,

0:10:310:10:33

which is exactly what Craig said and he got 100, so...

0:10:330:10:36

It was 2005.

0:10:360:10:38

Prince George of Cambridge no-one went for.

0:10:400:10:42

2013. 2013.

0:10:420:10:44

And London hosted the Summer Olympics in 2012, of course.

0:10:460:10:50

75?! I know.

0:10:510:10:53

I think by the time you get to the last one, people have given up.

0:10:530:10:56

LAUGHTER I suppose, yeah. Thanks, Richard.

0:10:560:10:59

We're halfway through the round, so let's check up on those scores.

0:10:590:11:03

Very well done, Ramsey. Our only score under 100.

0:11:030:11:06

So, Ramsey and Kevin, I'd suggest

0:11:060:11:08

you probably ought to be making it through to Round Two.

0:11:080:11:11

Then we've got Craig and Ricky, Katy and Neil,

0:11:110:11:14

and Christine and Pauline, all jockeying it out on 100.

0:11:140:11:18

So, can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:11:180:11:22

OK, let's put seven more events up on the board and here they are.

0:11:240:11:29

I will read all of those again.

0:11:500:11:52

Now then, Kevin, welcome to Pointless. Thank you.

0:12:110:12:14

Also from Royal Leamington Spa.

0:12:140:12:16

Yeah. Kevin, what do you do?

0:12:160:12:18

I'm a sales ledger clerk in an accounts department. I see.

0:12:180:12:22

What does that job involve? Collecting a lot of cash.

0:12:220:12:26

Oh, you have to chase bills? Yeah. That's fun! Number crunching. Yeah.

0:12:260:12:31

Invoices, credit notes, all that. That... Ah!

0:12:310:12:34

I'm amazed you can bear to be away to come here today.

0:12:340:12:37

Yeah, I know! Kevin, what interests you aside from all of that work?

0:12:370:12:41

I like sport, like keeping fit,

0:12:410:12:42

like a bit of cooking, getting in the kitchen,

0:12:420:12:46

going to gigs, festivals, that sort of thing.

0:12:460:12:49

Very good. Kevin, you're on 24.

0:12:490:12:52

Ramsey's hard work in the first pass paid off.

0:12:520:12:54

A score of 75 or less guarantees you

0:12:540:12:56

a place in the next round.

0:12:560:12:59

The first board was better for me. Um...

0:12:590:13:02

Well, Millennium Dome and London Eye, I'm going to say 2000.

0:13:030:13:07

2000, says Kevin.

0:13:070:13:09

That's caused a little buzz amongst our audience.

0:13:090:13:11

Here's your red line. Get below that with 2000,

0:13:110:13:13

you're through to the next round. Let's see how many people said it.

0:13:130:13:16

It's right.

0:13:180:13:19

You are through to the next round.

0:13:190:13:21

APPLAUSE

0:13:210:13:24

55 is the slightly baffling score of that.

0:13:240:13:27

79 is your total. Very well played. Both turned into enormous successes,

0:13:270:13:31

the London Eye right from the beginning.

0:13:310:13:33

But the Millennium Dome, since it changed hands,

0:13:330:13:36

has become an enormous success. Thank you. Now, Ricky. Hello.

0:13:360:13:39

Welcome to Pointless. Thank you. What do you do, Ricky?

0:13:390:13:42

I'm a director at a PR agency.

0:13:420:13:45

Does Craig sometimes work for your PR agency?

0:13:450:13:47

He doesn't, actually, no.

0:13:470:13:48

It's just a coincidence, a happy coincidence.

0:13:480:13:50

What sort of PR do YOU do?

0:13:500:13:52

Consumer PR, so travel, lifestyle, restaurants, retail...

0:13:520:13:55

That's not too terrible then. It's not too terrible at all, no.

0:13:550:13:59

So, quite often, holiday islands in far-flung continents.

0:13:590:14:02

Often it's the more junior staff who get to go off on the trips,

0:14:020:14:04

unfortunately. I'm often stuck back in the office. Stuck in the office.

0:14:040:14:07

Where IS the office? The Bahamas?

0:14:070:14:08

Er, no, Soho. Soho.

0:14:080:14:11

Well, the Bahamas in London, really. The nearest we have to them.

0:14:110:14:14

We like to think so. Yes, I think so.

0:14:140:14:16

Now, Ricky, you're on 100 points. Yeah.

0:14:160:14:18

You're in very good company on 100 points.

0:14:180:14:20

We need a low score from you.

0:14:200:14:22

I only really definitely know one of these ones,

0:14:220:14:25

so I'm going to go with that one.

0:14:250:14:27

I don't think we should take the risk,

0:14:270:14:28

so I'm going to say the Scottish independence referendum - 2014?

0:14:280:14:32

2014, says Ricky. Not even sure about that.

0:14:320:14:35

It wasn't THAT long ago. No red line for you.

0:14:350:14:37

You're the joint high-scorers. Let's see how many people said 2014.

0:14:370:14:41

It's right.

0:14:430:14:45

78. 178 is your total.

0:14:450:14:47

APPLAUSE

0:14:470:14:50

Yeah, an 84.6% turnout

0:14:500:14:52

in their Scottish referendum, the largest in any election

0:14:520:14:55

or referendum since universal suffrage.

0:14:550:14:57

We can just about remember back to 2014,

0:14:570:15:00

but you saw Prince George on the previous one was 2013

0:15:000:15:03

and even that, we're starting to get to,

0:15:030:15:05

"How old is he? Four months old or something?"

0:15:050:15:08

Time tends to speed up a bit, doesn't it?

0:15:080:15:11

Indeed. Thanks very much.

0:15:110:15:12

Now, Neil. Hello. Neil, welcome back. Thank you.

0:15:120:15:17

Also just left St Andrews. Yes. Just finished your degree.

0:15:170:15:21

What else did you get up at St Andrews, apart from your maths?

0:15:210:15:24

I do a lot of theatre. I was on our performing arts committee.

0:15:240:15:27

It's called Mermaids.

0:15:270:15:29

It's the University of St Andrews Performing Arts Fund,

0:15:290:15:32

which isn't a very glamorous title,

0:15:320:15:34

but basically, we are a self-funding body and we invest in people,

0:15:340:15:38

so people come to us with ideas of shows

0:15:380:15:41

they want to put on and then we decide.

0:15:410:15:43

This is people within the university? Any student can apply

0:15:430:15:46

to the fund and there's a committee who's elected...

0:15:460:15:50

And you then grant the money

0:15:500:15:51

for those productions. Fantastic.

0:15:510:15:53

I was the treasurer for the last two years. That's fun.

0:15:530:15:55

Did you get involved? Did you act at all? Yeah, I actually did a lot.

0:15:550:15:58

I've been down to the Edinburgh Fringe. I'm from Edinburgh anyway,

0:15:580:16:01

but I've been as part of the show from St Andrews

0:16:010:16:04

and I've also been on and offstage in St Andrews too.

0:16:040:16:08

Good for you. Now, you have a target here,

0:16:080:16:10

which is 77 or less.

0:16:100:16:13

77 or less, Neil.

0:16:130:16:15

I have a couple I think I could guess at.

0:16:150:16:18

The one I'm going to go for is the first Harry Potter film,

0:16:180:16:21

which I think was 2001.

0:16:210:16:23

2001, says Neil. Let's see if that's right.

0:16:230:16:26

Here's your red line.

0:16:260:16:27

Get below that with the first Harry Potter film, 2001,

0:16:270:16:30

you are into the next round.

0:16:300:16:32

It's right. Very well done.

0:16:340:16:36

You're through to the next round.

0:16:360:16:38

That's a great score! 24. APPLAUSE

0:16:390:16:42

You're equalling our lowest score of the round over there from Ramsey.

0:16:420:16:45

124 is your total. Well done, Neil.

0:16:450:16:48

This is much more like it. Just to depress us all,

0:16:480:16:50

how old were you in 2001? Eight.

0:16:500:16:52

LAUGHTER Mmm-hmm.

0:16:520:16:54

Thanks, Richard. Pauline, welcome back. Also here

0:16:540:16:59

from the isle of Arran. Yes.

0:16:590:17:00

You and Christine have worked together for ages now,

0:17:000:17:03

had a lovely time working in the school together. Yes.

0:17:030:17:06

What are your interests outside of school?

0:17:060:17:08

I like to do a wee bit of keep-fit,

0:17:080:17:10

wee bit of running and walking, wee bit of Zumba.

0:17:100:17:13

Just wee bits of these things.

0:17:130:17:15

I'm also a keen reader and I like to knit as well.

0:17:150:17:19

What's the most ambitious thing you've committed to wool?

0:17:190:17:22

Ooh, I'm not sure I'd say it's the most ambitious thing,

0:17:220:17:26

but my current project is going to be

0:17:260:17:28

a retro 1980s Icelandic sweater on circular pins.

0:17:280:17:33

LAUGHTER

0:17:330:17:35

Sounds quite painful. Presumably it comes off the pins before you...

0:17:350:17:39

Yes. Have you started that yet? No,

0:17:390:17:42

it's...it's a wintertime project, I think.

0:17:420:17:45

I see.

0:17:450:17:47

We have a target for you as well, which is 77 or less.

0:17:470:17:50

Do you want to talk us through that board?

0:17:500:17:52

Probably the first one I could probably kind of work out.

0:17:520:17:56

I think it would be...2005.

0:17:560:18:00

And Barack Obama, I think 2008.

0:18:000:18:05

The first tweet would be a guess

0:18:050:18:07

and the rugby, I don't do sport,

0:18:070:18:10

so I have absolutely no clue at all about that.

0:18:100:18:13

So, I think what I will say is Barack Obama and 2008.

0:18:130:18:19

2008 for Barack Obama, says Pauline. Here is your red line.

0:18:190:18:23

Get below that with Barack Obama, 2008, you are into Round Two.

0:18:230:18:28

Oh, no! Oh, I'm sorry, Pauline, I'm afraid

0:18:300:18:33

that's an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points.

0:18:330:18:35

Takes your total up to 200.

0:18:350:18:36

I'm sorry. Sorry, Pauline. A common trap with those US elections.

0:18:360:18:40

The election took place at the end of 2008.

0:18:400:18:43

They then get sworn in at the beginning of the next year, always,

0:18:430:18:47

so the answer is 2009 for when he was sworn in.

0:18:470:18:50

The 60th anniversary commemorations of D-day was actually 2004.

0:18:520:18:55

D-day was 1944. First public tweet? What would you guess?

0:18:550:19:01

I'd say 2007.

0:19:010:19:03

2006 is the answer. 2 points for that. Great answer.

0:19:030:19:07

And England Rugby World Cup? 2003. 2003.

0:19:070:19:10

So, the first public tweet is the best answer on the board.

0:19:110:19:14

Thanks very much, Richard.

0:19:140:19:15

At the end of our first round, the pair we're sending home,

0:19:150:19:17

I'm sorry, again, it's a Round One departure for Pauline and Christine.

0:19:170:19:21

Far too soon. We've seen far too little of you.

0:19:210:19:24

It's been lovely having on though. Thanks for playing.

0:19:240:19:26

Pauline and Christine. Thank you.

0:19:260:19:28

APPLAUSE

0:19:280:19:30

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

0:19:300:19:32

APPLAUSE

0:19:320:19:35

Hey, here we are. Round Two!

0:19:370:19:39

We've seen off one of our returning pairs already.

0:19:390:19:42

Hats off to the far podium, Kevin and Ramsey,

0:19:420:19:45

the only couple to have two correct answers,

0:19:450:19:48

which is no mean achievement. Best of luck to all three pairs.

0:19:480:19:51

Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...

0:19:510:19:53

Film. Can you all decide in your pairs

0:19:550:19:57

who's going first, who's going second.

0:19:570:19:59

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

0:19:590:20:01

OK, and the question is about...

0:20:040:20:08

Carry On films, Richard.

0:20:090:20:11

In a moment, Xander's going to show you

0:20:110:20:13

the titles of five Carry On films.

0:20:130:20:14

We're looking for any actor who received an acting credit

0:20:140:20:17

in any of those films, please, according to IMDb.

0:20:170:20:20

OK, so we're going to put up the names of five Carry On films.

0:20:200:20:22

They're going to stay up for the whole round.

0:20:220:20:25

They won't be changing halfway through, just so you know.

0:20:250:20:27

We just need the name of any actor from any of these films

0:20:270:20:30

and here they are.

0:20:300:20:32

I'll read those all again.

0:20:380:20:39

Katy. I have no idea.

0:20:450:20:47

It's awful, cos I'm literally thinking an older actor that's male.

0:20:470:20:51

So I'm going to go for John Cleese.

0:20:510:20:53

OK, that has been controversially good or controversially bad

0:20:530:20:58

amongst our audience. Let's find out which. John Cleese.

0:20:580:21:03

Sorry, Katy, not John Cleese

0:21:070:21:09

in the Carry On films.

0:21:090:21:11

No, don't think he appeared in any of them. Thanks, Richard.

0:21:110:21:16

Now, Ricky. Yes. How do you like this round? Um, it's OK, actually.

0:21:160:21:21

I did watch the Carry On films a bit when I was younger,

0:21:210:21:23

seen a few of them recently.

0:21:230:21:25

Not something I watch all the time but, yeah...

0:21:250:21:27

Imagine watching them all the time! That would be a bit trying.

0:21:270:21:30

That would be something, wouldn't it?!

0:21:300:21:32

Ricky, what are you going to go for?

0:21:320:21:34

Um, I'm trying to think of one of the lesser-known actors

0:21:340:21:36

that was in them. I'm going to go with Charles Hawtrey.

0:21:360:21:39

Charles Hawtrey, says Ricky.

0:21:390:21:41

Let's see how many of our 100 people went with Charles Hawtrey.

0:21:410:21:44

Well done.

0:21:460:21:47

Look at that! Very well done indeed! 18 for Charles Hawtrey.

0:21:520:21:55

APPLAUSE

0:21:550:21:57

Yeah, he's in four of those, Charles Hawtrey.

0:21:590:22:01

Only Carry On England he's not in.

0:22:010:22:03

Thanks, Richard. Now, Ramsey. Hi. What would you like to go for?

0:22:030:22:09

Well, I don't like the Carry On films for starters

0:22:090:22:13

and I don't think I've ever seen any. OK.

0:22:130:22:15

It'll be a complete guess, but my guess is David Jason.

0:22:150:22:20

David Jason. Interesting.

0:22:200:22:23

That earns you a little "Ooh", an interested buzz, as well. Let's see.

0:22:230:22:26

David Jason. That could be interesting. Let's find out.

0:22:260:22:29

David Jason - is he in any of these?

0:22:290:22:31

No, I'm afraid NOT in any of these films,

0:22:340:22:37

but quite a good sort of guess, I'd have thought.

0:22:370:22:40

100 points is what that scores you, Ramsey.

0:22:400:22:43

Sorry, Ramsey, not David Jason either,

0:22:430:22:44

although you mustn't say that you don't like them

0:22:440:22:47

and then say you've never seen any of them,

0:22:470:22:50

because how would you know? Exactly.

0:22:500:22:52

That's what we say to our children all the time, isn't it?

0:22:520:22:54

Yes, we do say that to our children all the time. Yes.

0:22:540:22:57

You don't know until you try. Exactly.

0:22:570:22:59

There's some very, very, very funny Carry On films. Oh, they are.

0:22:590:23:04

At their best, they are... Magnificent. ..hard to beat.

0:23:040:23:07

We're halfway through the round.

0:23:070:23:09

Let's look at the scores, just the two scores between the three pairs.

0:23:090:23:12

18 is where we find Ricky and Craig.

0:23:120:23:13

Very well done. Hats off to Ricky and Craig.

0:23:130:23:15

Looking like strong contenders for the head-to-head at this point.

0:23:150:23:18

Then 100 is where we find Ramsey and Kevin and Katy and Neil.

0:23:180:23:21

So, good luck.

0:23:210:23:23

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:23:230:23:26

OK. Kevin, Carry On films.

0:23:300:23:32

We're looking for any actor credited with an appearance

0:23:320:23:35

in any of these five Carry On films. Do you watch Carry On films, Kevin?

0:23:350:23:38

Yeah, I like a Carry On. Yeah.

0:23:380:23:40

I've seen Carry On Screaming!

0:23:400:23:44

And the bloke from Steptoe was in it.

0:23:440:23:47

I think it was Harry H Corbett. Harry H Corbett, says Kevin.

0:23:470:23:51

No red line for you, Kevin, as you're joint high-scorers.

0:23:510:23:54

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Harry H Corbett.

0:23:540:23:57

It's right.

0:23:590:24:00

Now that, I think, deserves to go a long way down the column.

0:24:010:24:05

Goes down to 7. Very well done, Kevin.

0:24:050:24:08

APPLAUSE That is a great score.

0:24:080:24:10

107 is your total.

0:24:100:24:11

Well played, Kevin. Yeah, he was in Carry On Screaming!

0:24:110:24:15

Played Detective Sergeant Sidney Bung. Thanks, Rich.

0:24:150:24:18

Now, Craig, great low-scoring from Ricky in the first pass there.

0:24:180:24:22

Can you keep this up? I'm going to try.

0:24:220:24:25

I have a few names in my mind.

0:24:250:24:28

One of them is... I know she's in another Carry On film.

0:24:280:24:33

But I'm just going to go with a really obvious one

0:24:330:24:36

and say Sid James. Sid James, says Craig. Here is your red line.

0:24:360:24:40

If you get below this red line, you're into the head-to-head.

0:24:400:24:44

How many people said Sid James?

0:24:440:24:46

It's right and you're through. Well done, Craig.

0:24:480:24:50

55. APPLAUSE

0:24:520:24:54

Well played, Craig.

0:24:570:24:59

He played Sid Boggle in Carry On Camping, Sid James.

0:24:590:25:02

Thanks, Richard.

0:25:020:25:03

Now, Neil, this is where it gets slightly sweaty palm time.

0:25:030:25:08

You have to score 6 or less.

0:25:080:25:10

Yeah, I have one answer and it's not going to be less than that.

0:25:100:25:14

Barbara Windsor.

0:25:140:25:16

Barbara Windsor, says Neil. OK, Barbara Windsor.

0:25:160:25:20

Here's your red line, it's low.

0:25:200:25:22

Let's see what happens with Barbara Windsor.

0:25:230:25:25

It's right.

0:25:280:25:30

76.

0:25:300:25:32

APPLAUSE Takes your total up to 176,

0:25:320:25:35

Neil and Katy. Yeah, one of those situations

0:25:350:25:38

where making up a name might have been easier.

0:25:380:25:39

So, there are hundreds and hundreds of pointless answers here.

0:25:390:25:42

We'll take a look at a few of them.

0:25:420:25:44

Bill Owen, who found fame as Compo, of course, is a pointless answer.

0:25:440:25:47

Melvyn Hayes, who was in It Ain't Half Hot Mum and many other things.

0:25:540:25:57

Let's look at the top three answers,

0:26:000:26:02

the ones that most of our 100 people said.

0:26:020:26:04

Some of the other more obvious names you might have gone for...

0:26:120:26:15

Hattie Jacques would have scored you 40.

0:26:150:26:17

Joan Sims would have scored 12.

0:26:170:26:20

Windsor Davies, 2 you'd have got.

0:26:200:26:21

Jim Dale scored 23. Peter Butterworth scored 10.

0:26:210:26:25

Was Bob Monkhouse not in one of those?

0:26:250:26:27

I think he was in Carry On Sergeant. Was he? That's what I thought.

0:26:270:26:31

Would have got you 4 points. Ah.

0:26:310:26:33

Bernard Bresslaw would have scored you 18 points.

0:26:330:26:36

So, some nice answers up there. Some of the classic Carry On actors.

0:26:360:26:40

Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our second round,

0:26:400:26:42

I'm afraid the couple we have to say...

0:26:420:26:44

It's our second returning pair.

0:26:440:26:46

Oh, falling like flies. Neil and Katy,

0:26:460:26:48

I'm so sorry to say goodbye to you.

0:26:480:26:50

Far too soon, but it's been wonderful having you on both shows.

0:26:500:26:52

Thanks so much for playing, Neil and Katy.

0:26:520:26:55

APPLAUSE

0:26:550:26:57

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

0:26:570:27:00

APPLAUSE

0:27:000:27:03

Very well done, Kevin and Ramsey, Ricky and Craig,

0:27:050:27:08

you're now one step closer to the final

0:27:080:27:10

and a chance to play for our jackpot,

0:27:100:27:13

which currently stands at ?1,000.

0:27:130:27:15

Well, this should be a fairly no-nonsense semifinal, I would say.

0:27:150:27:19

You can now confer before you give your answers, which is fantastic.

0:27:190:27:22

Let's play the head-to-head.

0:27:220:27:24

APPLAUSE

0:27:240:27:26

Here is your first question and it concerns...

0:27:300:27:33

Capital cities, Richard.

0:27:350:27:36

Going to show you five visual clues to the names of capital cities.

0:27:360:27:39

Can you tell us what those cities are, please?

0:27:390:27:42

OK, let's reveal our five visual clues, and here they come.

0:27:420:27:46

There we are. Five visual clues to capital cities.

0:28:080:28:11

Kevin and Ramsey, you're our low-scorers, so you'll go first.

0:28:110:28:13

Feel free to confer.

0:28:130:28:15

INAUDIBLE CONFERRING

0:28:150:28:18

A little bit of a risk, but we're going to go A, Bern.

0:28:240:28:29

Bern, say Kevin and Ramsey. Bern. Now, Ricky and Craig, over to you.

0:28:290:28:34

Talk us through the board. Um, B is the tough one, I think, for us.

0:28:340:28:38

We can't think of that one. Know all the others.

0:28:380:28:40

Um, I think we'll probably go with C, Kiev.

0:28:400:28:43

OK, Kiev, say Ricky and Craig. We have Bern and we have Kiev.

0:28:430:28:48

Kevin and Ramsey went for Bern. Let's see if that's right for A.

0:28:480:28:51

Let's see how many people agree with them.

0:28:510:28:53

Bern, well done. 27.

0:29:000:29:03

APPLAUSE

0:29:030:29:06

Ricky and Craig, meanwhile, have gone for Kiev for C.

0:29:060:29:10

Let's see if that's right and how many people said Kiev.

0:29:100:29:13

It's right.

0:29:170:29:19

Oh, 66 for Kiev.

0:29:190:29:20

APPLAUSE

0:29:200:29:22

Very well done, Kevin and Ramsey, after one question, you're up 1-0.

0:29:220:29:26

Well played. The second one is the best answer,

0:29:260:29:28

so we'll leave it for a second. Let's start at E, shall we?

0:29:280:29:32

E, of course, is Wellington, capital of New Zealand.

0:29:320:29:36

D, Brussels, capital of Belgium, of course, at 94 points.

0:29:390:29:44

Look how they've stacked those Brussels sprouts, there.

0:29:440:29:46

It's like a sprout pyramid. It is.

0:29:460:29:49

It's like the ambassador of some entirely different country

0:29:490:29:52

is spoiling... Oh, imagine if you unwrapped the Ferrero Rocher

0:29:520:29:57

and it had one of those inside. Mmm, ah!

0:29:570:29:59

Ah, the Belgian ambassador. You're spoiling...

0:29:590:30:03

Oh, you're NOT spoiling us. You got us some sprouts. Ah.

0:30:030:30:07

Now, B is the best answer on the board.

0:30:070:30:10

It can only be one thing, really, but it's the capital of Grenada.

0:30:100:30:13

St George's. St George's, yeah.

0:30:130:30:15

That would have scored 13 points, the best answer up there.

0:30:150:30:18

Well done if you got that at home.

0:30:180:30:19

Thanks, Rich. Here comes your second question.

0:30:190:30:22

Ricky and Craig get to answer it first,

0:30:220:30:23

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

0:30:230:30:26

Our second question today is all about...

0:30:260:30:29

It's about tables, Richard.

0:30:300:30:32

Yeah, going to show you five facts now about tables.

0:30:320:30:35

Can you give us the most obscure answer, please?

0:30:350:30:38

OK, let's reveal our table facts and here they come.

0:30:380:30:41

I'll read all of those one last time.

0:31:010:31:03

Ricky and Craig, it's over to you.

0:31:220:31:25

Um, I remember reading about the Boris Johnson thing at the time

0:31:250:31:29

and just thinking what an obscure, weird word it was

0:31:290:31:32

that he'd come up with and I assumed at the time he'd made it up.

0:31:320:31:35

I think it was whiff-waff.

0:31:350:31:37

Whiff-waff, say Ricky and Craig. Whiff-waff.

0:31:370:31:40

Kevin and Ramsey. Um, we know a couple of them.

0:31:400:31:45

Not sure on whiff-waff.

0:31:450:31:47

But the one we're going to go for is Table Mountain

0:31:470:31:50

and we think that's in South Africa. South Africa for Table Mountain.

0:31:500:31:54

We have whiff-waff and we have South Africa.

0:31:540:31:55

Ricky and Craig went for whiff-waff.

0:31:550:31:57

Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

0:31:570:31:59

19 for whiff-waff.

0:32:080:32:10

Well done, darling. APPLAUSE

0:32:100:32:12

Kevin and Ramsey, meanwhile, have gone for South Africa

0:32:120:32:15

as the country in which you'd find Table Mountain.

0:32:150:32:17

Let's see how many people said that.

0:32:170:32:19

It's right.

0:32:230:32:24

60. APPLAUSE

0:32:240:32:27

Which means, well done, Ricky and Craig, you're back in the game.

0:32:270:32:30

After two questions, it's 1-1.

0:32:300:32:32

Well played, quite hard to beat whiff-waff.

0:32:320:32:35

Let's look at the scores of the different ones.

0:32:350:32:37

The title of the 2011 album by Adele.

0:32:370:32:39

It's either going to be 19 or 21.

0:32:390:32:42

Let's take a look. It was 21. 21.

0:32:420:32:45

It would have score 39. That's not confusing at all(!)

0:32:450:32:47

The number of pockets on a standard snooker table?

0:32:470:32:50

Six. Six.

0:32:500:32:52

That would have scored you 89 points, pretty impressive.

0:32:520:32:55

Now, the British actor. Do you know that one?

0:32:550:32:57

You know what, I DO know this one. Brilliant. David Niven.

0:32:570:33:00

The wonderful David Niven. Well done if you said that.

0:33:000:33:04

7 points, the best answer on the board.

0:33:040:33:06

Thank you very much indeed. So, here comes your third question.

0:33:060:33:09

Whoever wins this one goes through to the final

0:33:090:33:11

and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.

0:33:110:33:14

Our third question today concerns bicycle parts. Richard.

0:33:140:33:19

Yeah, we're going to show you five bicycle parts now,

0:33:190:33:22

but they're in anagram form.

0:33:220:33:24

Can you unscramble them and give us the most obscure of these.

0:33:240:33:27

Very best of luck. Whichever team does best

0:33:270:33:29

is going through to play for the jackpot.

0:33:290:33:31

OK, let's reveal our five tangled bicycle parts and here they are.

0:33:310:33:34

Kevin and Ramsey go first this time.

0:33:450:33:47

Er, we're going to go for Herald Ban, handlebar.

0:33:520:33:57

Handlebar, say Kevin and Ramsey. Handlebar.

0:33:570:34:00

Now, Ricky and Craig, talk us through the board.

0:34:000:34:04

I think we know the first two,

0:34:040:34:05

but probably they're the more obvious ones.

0:34:050:34:09

I think we're probably going to have to go with the second one

0:34:090:34:15

and go with brakes. You're going with brakes.

0:34:150:34:17

So, we have handlebar and we have brakes.

0:34:170:34:19

Kevin and Ramsey went with handlebar.

0:34:190:34:21

Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

0:34:210:34:23

It's right.

0:34:250:34:27

45 for handlebar.

0:34:290:34:31

APPLAUSE

0:34:310:34:33

Meanwhile, Ricky and Craig have gone for brakes.

0:34:330:34:36

Let's see if that's right for "Bakers".

0:34:360:34:38

Let's see how many people got that.

0:34:380:34:39

It's right.

0:34:420:34:44

76. APPLAUSE

0:34:440:34:47

Which means very well done, Kevin and Ramsey,

0:34:470:34:49

after three questions, you're through to the final 2-1.

0:34:490:34:51

Good work, Kevin and Ramsey.

0:34:510:34:53

Let's see if anything could have beaten handlebar,

0:34:530:34:55

see if you could have got into that final.

0:34:550:34:57

"Plead" is pedal, of course.

0:34:570:34:59

That wouldn't have helped you. The one at the bottom there is...?

0:35:010:35:04

Do you know that one? Mudguard. Mudguard, yeah.

0:35:040:35:06

33 would have seen you through. And "Ace tests"? Seat something? Seat...

0:35:090:35:14

Cassette. Cassette? Yeah. That's the best answer on the board.

0:35:140:35:20

That requires a bit of specialist bike knowledge.

0:35:200:35:22

People who know bikes and are good at anagrams would have got that.

0:35:220:35:25

Do you know how many people that is? 5 in every 100.

0:35:250:35:28

Look at that. But that's the best answer.

0:35:280:35:30

Very well done if you got that. Thanks, Richard.

0:35:300:35:32

The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,

0:35:320:35:35

it's Ricky and Craig. But we'll see you again next time

0:35:350:35:37

and on the strength of your performance today,

0:35:370:35:40

I'm sure you'll do just as well, if not better, then.

0:35:400:35:42

Meantime, thanks very much indeed. Ricky and Craig. Thank you.

0:35:420:35:45

APPLAUSE

0:35:450:35:47

But for Kevin and Ramsey, it's time for our Pointless final.

0:35:470:35:50

APPLAUSE

0:35:500:35:54

Congratulations, Kevin and Ramsey.

0:35:540:35:56

You have seen off all the competition

0:35:560:35:58

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy. Yes!

0:35:580:36:02

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

0:36:070:36:10

At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at ?1,000.

0:36:100:36:14

What do you want to see in this last round? I think probably music.

0:36:140:36:18

Yeah, bit of sport. Sport, music, food maybe.

0:36:180:36:21

Yeah, food and drink would be good. Yeah.

0:36:210:36:23

OK, well, let's hope today's selection has something for you.

0:36:230:36:27

We've got four, as ever.

0:36:270:36:29

LAUGHTER Yeah... Phew! Hot in here, isn't it?

0:36:370:36:41

Who's Nora Ephron? I don't know!

0:36:410:36:44

I don't know the top one or the second one. Space exploration. Uh...

0:36:440:36:50

We're going to go with the best of a very bad bunch.

0:36:510:36:54

Space exploration. Space exploration. Rich.

0:36:540:36:57

Very best of luck, gents.

0:36:570:36:59

We're looking for any of the following, please.

0:36:590:37:01

We're looking for any space mission

0:37:010:37:03

launched aboard the Saturn V rocket, please.

0:37:030:37:06

That's from 1967 to 1973, so the mission names.

0:37:060:37:09

We're looking for anyone who was aboard

0:37:090:37:11

any of the Apollo manned space flights. That's Apollo 7 onwards.

0:37:110:37:15

Or any of the 22 member states of the European Space Agency.

0:37:150:37:18

So, Saturn V launches, NASA Apollo lunar landing mission astronauts,

0:37:180:37:23

from Apollo 7 onwards, and member states of the European Space Agency.

0:37:230:37:27

Best of luck. Thanks very much, Richard.

0:37:270:37:29

As always, you have up to one minute to come with three answers.

0:37:290:37:32

All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers

0:37:320:37:35

to be pointless. Are you ready? Yes. Yes.

0:37:350:37:38

OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. Your time starts now.

0:37:380:37:41

We're better off going bottom.

0:37:410:37:43

We can guess at 22 member states of the European Space Agency,

0:37:430:37:47

so European countries.

0:37:470:37:48

Definitely Russia, but that's not going to be pointless, so...

0:37:480:37:52

Obscure European countries that have manned people to...

0:37:520:37:56

Can think of maybe the Netherlands, do you think?

0:37:560:38:01

I'm thinking more Eastern Europeans. Maybe...Kazakhstan.

0:38:010:38:06

I think they've sent a national into space. I want to say Kazakhstan.

0:38:060:38:09

Do it, mate. Russia. Sounds good. And...

0:38:090:38:13

Cos before we had Russia, a lot of people didn't know it was Europe.

0:38:130:38:17

OK, we'll have a bit of that. So, Russia, Kazakhstan.

0:38:170:38:20

What about the other two?

0:38:200:38:21

No, I think we're better off concentrating...

0:38:210:38:24

22 European states.

0:38:240:38:26

Do you reckon Uzbekistan or something obscure like that?

0:38:260:38:30

Ten seconds left. Who knows? We'll say it, mate. Go on.

0:38:300:38:35

I'm going to say Armenia.

0:38:350:38:37

All right, you've got your three. Where's Armenia?

0:38:370:38:40

OK, that is your time up.

0:38:400:38:42

Let's have your three answers and say which category you're answering.

0:38:420:38:45

So we're all going for the member states. OK, all three member states.

0:38:450:38:48

We're not entirely sure on two of them,

0:38:480:38:50

but we're just going to guess at them. But one of them's Russia.

0:38:500:38:53

Russia. Armenia. Armenia. And Kazakhstan. And Kazakhstan.

0:38:530:38:57

OK, three answers there.

0:38:570:38:59

Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:590:39:02

Kazakhstan sounds good. I think Kazakhstan sent an astronaut...

0:39:020:39:05

Kazakhstan goes last. Least likely to be pointless? I think Russia.

0:39:050:39:08

Russia, least likely. We'll put that first.

0:39:080:39:10

OK, let's pop those up on the board

0:39:100:39:12

in that order then and here they are.

0:39:120:39:14

Well, three good answers on the board there.

0:39:170:39:20

It looked pretty desperate, didn't it, as a category,

0:39:200:39:23

but I think you managed to find something there.

0:39:230:39:26

One of those could easily be pointless.

0:39:260:39:28

Supposing it is and you win that ?1,000 jackpot,

0:39:280:39:31

what would you do with that? Kevin? Vegas. Straight to Vegas.

0:39:310:39:35

OK, lose it immediately. Yeah. OK, Ramsey, how about you?

0:39:350:39:40

Ibiza or Vegas. OK. One of the two.

0:39:400:39:44

The black or red, there they are. Which one's it going to be?

0:39:440:39:47

Either. Well, very best of luck. As I say, three good answers.

0:39:470:39:50

Russia was your least confident answer.

0:39:500:39:52

In all three cases,

0:39:520:39:54

we were looking for members of the European Space Agency.

0:39:540:39:56

You've gone for Russia first.

0:39:560:39:57

If this is right and pointless, it'll win you ?1,000.

0:39:570:40:00

Let's see how many people said Russia.

0:40:000:40:02

Ooh, Russia, I'm afraid, an incorrect answer,

0:40:050:40:09

so obviously not a pointless answer,

0:40:090:40:11

which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.

0:40:110:40:13

Your next answer was Armenia.

0:40:130:40:14

Again, we're looking for members of the European Space Agency.

0:40:140:40:18

If this is right and pointless, it wins you ?1,000.

0:40:180:40:20

How many people said Armenia?

0:40:200:40:22

No, bad luck!

0:40:250:40:27

I'm afraid Armenia also an incorrect answer.

0:40:280:40:31

Everything is now riding on your third and final answer, Kazakhstan.

0:40:310:40:35

If this is correct and pointless, it will win you ?1,000.

0:40:350:40:38

How many of our 100 people said Kazakhstan? Is it right?

0:40:380:40:42

No, I'm sorry!

0:40:440:40:47

APPLAUSE

0:40:470:40:50

I'm sorry. A very, very tough board, that one.

0:40:500:40:53

You know, hard to choose, really,

0:40:540:40:56

from those four categories that you had on the board there.

0:40:560:41:00

And I'm afraid Space Exploration didn't really help you out,

0:41:000:41:03

I'm sorry to say. But there we are.

0:41:030:41:05

I'm afraid you didn't manage to find a pointless answer,

0:41:050:41:07

so you don't win today's jackpot of ?1,000

0:41:070:41:09

which will roll over onto the next show.

0:41:090:41:12

But you can be very proud of your performance across the show today.

0:41:120:41:15

It's been great to have you on.

0:41:150:41:16

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

0:41:160:41:20

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:41:200:41:22

Unlucky, gents. Russia's got its own space agency.

0:41:250:41:28

Let's take a look at the answers in the different categories.

0:41:280:41:31

Saturn V launches.

0:41:310:41:33

Some you could have guessed at.

0:41:330:41:35

Apollo 4, Apollo 6, Apollo 15, 16 and 17 all pointless answers.

0:41:350:41:39

And Skylab. Those were the pointless answers there.

0:41:390:41:43

Now, on the astronauts, there are some big names here, actually.

0:41:430:41:46

The commander of Apollo 17, Eugene Cernan, was there.

0:41:460:41:49

Both of these two were in Apollo 13, so they were both in the film.

0:41:490:41:52

Kevin Bacon plays Jack Swigert and Tom Hanks plays Jim Lovell.

0:41:520:41:56

And the third man to walk on the moon, Pete Conrad,

0:41:560:41:59

was also a pointless answer.

0:41:590:42:01

In fact, the only astronauts to score points there

0:42:010:42:04

were Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins,

0:42:040:42:06

Alan Shepard and David Scott.

0:42:060:42:07

Everyone else was a pointless answer,

0:42:070:42:09

so well done if you said any of those.

0:42:090:42:11

There's a wonderful book called Moondust, The Men Who Fell To Earth,

0:42:110:42:14

by a guy called Andrew Smith.

0:42:140:42:16

He interviews everyone who's walked on the moon.

0:42:160:42:18

It's a terrific book.

0:42:180:42:19

It's very interesting, if you love that sort of thing.

0:42:190:42:21

Lots of those guys mentioned in that.

0:42:210:42:23

Member states of the European Space Agency.

0:42:230:42:25

There's three pointless answers.

0:42:250:42:26

Might have stumbled across one of them.

0:42:260:42:29

Low-scorers - Hungary, Austria,

0:42:330:42:35

Greece and Finland all would have scored you 1.

0:42:350:42:38

Estonia, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway all would have scored you 2.

0:42:380:42:41

So, none of the Eastern European states

0:42:410:42:44

are in that European Space Agency. Thanks very much, Richard.

0:42:440:42:47

Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Kevin and Ramsey,

0:42:470:42:50

but it's been great having you on the show. Thank you for playing.

0:42:500:42:53

Kevin and Ramsey. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

0:42:530:42:55

APPLAUSE

0:42:550:42:57

Well, Kevin and Ramsey didn't win our jackpot today,

0:42:570:43:00

so it rolls onto the next show, when we will be playing for ?2,000.

0:43:000:43:04

Join us next time to see if someone can win it.

0:43:040:43:06

Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard. Goodbye.

0:43:060:43:08

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.

0:43:080:43:10
