CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
Welcome to Pointless, the show where all the questions have been asked | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
to 100 people before the show. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:30 | |
All our contestants have to do is come up with the answers | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
no-one else can think of. Let's meet today's players. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
Couple number one. Hello, I'm Christine, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:42 | |
this is my friend and colleague, Pauline, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
and we're from the island of Arran. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
Couple number two. Hi, I'm Katy, this is Neil, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
and we're friends from St Andrews. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
Couple number three. I'm Ricky, this is my friend, Craig. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
We're both from London. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:54 | |
And, finally, couple number four. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
Hi, I'm Ramsey, this is my friend, Kevin, | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
and we're from Leamington Spa. | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
These are today's contestants. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
Thanks very much, all of you. A warm welcome to Pointless. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
We'll find out more each of you throughout the show | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
as it goes along. That just leaves one more person to introduce. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
A man whose compliments couldn't be more backhanded | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
if they came from Roger Federer himself, | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
it's my Pointless friend Richard. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
Hiya. Hi, everybody. APPLAUSE | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
Good afternoon to you. Good afternoon. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
What a show we saw last time. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
Genuinely, one of the great performances, I would say, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
in Pointless history. Johnny and Duncan. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
Duncan was great, Johnny was unbelievable, though. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
First round, best possible score you could get, got the best score | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
on his board. Second round, he gave us a pointless answer. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
Head-to-head, 2-0, no problem at all. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
Duncan really helped him out as well on the head-to-head. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
And then in the final, US presidents, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
1 point, pointless, pointless. Just incredible. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
?2,500 they won, and they wanted it for a lock-in. Yeah. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
They said that is very much the dream. They deserve it as well. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
They were amazing. Two returning pairs from that show - | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
Pauline and Christine, who were knocked out in Round One, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
so want to see more of you this time, hopefully, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
and Round Two, we saw the end of Neil and Katy, | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
who are also very good players. So, it should be a lot of fun today, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
but you'd go some way to beat that performance. Impressive, wasn't it? | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
Really impressive. Really nice lads as well. Really nice. There it is. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
Thank you very much, Richard. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
Duncan and Johnny won the jackpot last time, | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
so today's jackpot starts off again at ?1,000. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
All you have to remember is the pair with the highest score | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
at the end of each round will be eliminated. That is all. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category this afternoon is... | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
History. Can you decide in your pairs | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
who's going first, who's going second. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
OK, the question concerns... | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
21st century events, Richard. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
Quite a loose definition of "history", I would say. Yeah. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
On each board, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
we'll show you seven events that took place in the 21st century. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
We need you to tell us the year they took place in, please. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
There will be seven on each board, 14 in all to have a go at home. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
Best of luck. OK, so in what years did the following events take place? | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
Here is our first board of seven. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
I'll read all of those again. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
Christine, welcome back. From the isle of Arran. Yes. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
Wonderful to have you back again. Round One last time. Yes. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
Far too soon to be saying goodbye. Thank you. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
Remind us what you do, Christine. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
I work in a local high school in the learning support department | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
as a classroom assistant. And when the holidays come, what do you do? | 0:04:20 | 0:04:25 | |
Do you get off the island? | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
No, I usually stay at home, although this summer, | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
we haven't had very good weather recently, but I like to walk. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
Obviously, where we live, there is plenty scope for walking, | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
so I do a lot of walking. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:38 | |
Yeah, I suppose a lot of interesting birdlife and things like that | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
on the isle of Arran as well. I also enjoy fishing as well. Fantastic. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
Now, Christine, how are you liking our board of recent history? | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
I'm not! Hmm. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
Um, I'm going to go for the Queen Elizabeth II, | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
but I'm still not quite sure whether to say 2002 or 2003. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:03 | |
I'm going to say 2003. OK, for the Golden Jubilee. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:08 | |
2003, says Christine. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said 2003. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
Oh, Christine, I'm sorry. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
I am sorry. That's an incorrect answer and it scores you 100 points. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
Sorry, I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the pass. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
I've got such a blind spot on years, when things happened. Mmm. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
I cannot do it. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:33 | |
Well, I can, cos I've got them all written down, | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
so I'm actually pretty good on this board, | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
but before I'd looked, I was pretty bad. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
Yeah, it's hard, really tough, that one. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
Now, Katy, welcome back. Remind us what you do, Katy. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
I just graduated in maths. Just graduated in maths at St Andrew. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
Have you had a lovely time at St Andrews? It's been wonderful. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
What are your favourite memories of your time there? | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
I was part of a saxophone quartet | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
and that was a really nice thing to do. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
Saxophone... Have you got a name? | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
No, we're the University of St Andrews | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
Saxophone Scholarship Quartet. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
See, that is good, because so often... Catchy. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
There are puns available. Yeah. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
The Fairer Sax, I remember, was a female saxophonist group. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
Anyway, Katy, what would you like to go for on our board? I don't know. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:22 | |
I'm trying to count back. Um... | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
I think I'm going to count back wrong for Gordon Brown. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
I guess I'll go for Rebecca Adlington, | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
and I don't think it was the one before London, I'm hoping, | 0:06:30 | 0:06:36 | |
so I'm going to say it's 2004. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
2004, says Katy. 2004 for Rebecca Adlington's first gold medal. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
Let's see if that's right. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
No, bad luck, Katy, I'm afraid that's another incorrect answer. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
Phew, first podium are heaving | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
a sigh of relief there. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
Bit of company on the 100. But that scores you 100 points, Katy. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
It's going well, isn't it? Yes, it is. Terrific stuff, so far. Yeah. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
Craig, welcome to Pointless. Thank you. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
Great to have you here from London. That's right. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
Originally from Scotland. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:08 | |
Whereabouts in Scotland are you from? Fife. From Fife. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
And what do you do in London? Um, I'm a freelance PR assistant. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:16 | |
OK, any particular kind of PR you work in? Movies, books... | 0:07:16 | 0:07:23 | |
See, that's quite fun. And what are your interests, Craig? | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
Um, I'm really into music. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
I love politics, reading biographies, the royal family. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:35 | |
OK, so how are you feeling about this as a category? This is it. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:39 | |
Gordon Brown became Prime Minister, I could have a guess at. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
The best one I could probably go for | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
is the Live 8 concerts took place, and I think it was in 2007. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:51 | |
2007, says Craig. Let's see how many of our 100 people said 2007. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:57 | |
No, I'm afraid that's another... | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
Might give those monks a ring. LAUGHTER | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
That's another incorrect answer. Scores you 100 points. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
We should show this round to some academic researchers | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
to take a look at our short-term memory. Yeah. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
I wonder what could possibly have gone wrong with it. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
But genuinely, I have to say I would be doing equally as badly. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
There we are, thank you. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
Now then, Ramsey, welcome to Pointless. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
Great to have you here. What do you do, Ramsey? | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
I work in sales and accounts for a sports science company | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
back in Leamington. So, a sports science company. What's that? | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
I'm imaging you making sports drinks but... No, I wish it was. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
I'm making sports heart rate monitors for football clubs | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
and athletics teams to progress their fitness. That's good. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
And what are your interests when you're not...? | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
Playing sport, watching sport, music. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
We go to quite a lot of live music. Photography. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
I'm quite a keen amateur photographer. Keeps me busy. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
OK, Ramsey, the stage is set here for you to triumph. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
There's a whole board of things you can go for. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
There's one certainty and that's the bottom one. London hosted in 2012. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:11 | |
I could hazard a guess at the other ones, | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
but the top one I'm not sure on. I'd just guess 2002. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
I think the second one is 2012 as well. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
I think it was in the same year as the Olympic Games - I think. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
Live 8 concerts - 2007 | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
But the one I'm going to go for is Rebecca Adlington. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
I think she won it in 2008. 2008, Ramsey. Yes. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:35 | |
OK, let's just make sure the column's still working. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
It's been a while. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said 2008 | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
for Rebecca Adlington's first gold. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
There we go! | 0:09:46 | 0:09:47 | |
Ah, listen, that's got Round Two written all over it. 24. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
Very well done, Ramsey. That's all right. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
APPLAUSE Well played, Ramsey. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
Those Olympic years are rather helpful in rounds like this. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:03 | |
Let's take a look at the other answers you gave us. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
You suggested 2002 for the top one. That was 2015. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:09 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
Within the 21st century, that's almost as far out as you can get. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
The good news is you didn't say it. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
Queen Elizabeth you said was 2012. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
That was 2002. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
Gordon Brown became Prime Minister? 2007. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
2007, correct. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
You said the Live 8 concerts were in 2007, | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
which is exactly what Craig said and he got 100, so... | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
It was 2005. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
Prince George of Cambridge no-one went for. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
2013. 2013. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
And London hosted the Summer Olympics in 2012, of course. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:50 | |
75?! I know. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
I think by the time you get to the last one, people have given up. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
LAUGHTER I suppose, yeah. Thanks, Richard. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
We're halfway through the round, so let's check up on those scores. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
Very well done, Ramsey. Our only score under 100. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
So, Ramsey and Kevin, I'd suggest | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
you probably ought to be making it through to Round Two. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
Then we've got Craig and Ricky, Katy and Neil, | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
and Christine and Pauline, all jockeying it out on 100. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
So, can the second players please step up to the podium? | 0:11:18 | 0:11:22 | |
OK, let's put seven more events up on the board and here they are. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:29 | |
I will read all of those again. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
Now then, Kevin, welcome to Pointless. Thank you. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
Also from Royal Leamington Spa. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
Yeah. Kevin, what do you do? | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
I'm a sales ledger clerk in an accounts department. I see. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
What does that job involve? Collecting a lot of cash. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
Oh, you have to chase bills? Yeah. That's fun! Number crunching. Yeah. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:31 | |
Invoices, credit notes, all that. That... Ah! | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
I'm amazed you can bear to be away to come here today. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
Yeah, I know! Kevin, what interests you aside from all of that work? | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
I like sport, like keeping fit, | 0:12:41 | 0:12:42 | |
like a bit of cooking, getting in the kitchen, | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
going to gigs, festivals, that sort of thing. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
Very good. Kevin, you're on 24. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
Ramsey's hard work in the first pass paid off. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
A score of 75 or less guarantees you | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
a place in the next round. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
The first board was better for me. Um... | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
Well, Millennium Dome and London Eye, I'm going to say 2000. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
2000, says Kevin. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:09 | |
That's caused a little buzz amongst our audience. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
Here's your red line. Get below that with 2000, | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
you're through to the next round. Let's see how many people said it. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
It's right. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:19 | |
You are through to the next round. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:13:21 | 0:13:24 | |
55 is the slightly baffling score of that. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
79 is your total. Very well played. Both turned into enormous successes, | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
the London Eye right from the beginning. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
But the Millennium Dome, since it changed hands, | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
has become an enormous success. Thank you. Now, Ricky. Hello. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
Welcome to Pointless. Thank you. What do you do, Ricky? | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
I'm a director at a PR agency. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
Does Craig sometimes work for your PR agency? | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
He doesn't, actually, no. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:48 | |
It's just a coincidence, a happy coincidence. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
What sort of PR do YOU do? | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
Consumer PR, so travel, lifestyle, restaurants, retail... | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
That's not too terrible then. It's not too terrible at all, no. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
So, quite often, holiday islands in far-flung continents. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
Often it's the more junior staff who get to go off on the trips, | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
unfortunately. I'm often stuck back in the office. Stuck in the office. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
Where IS the office? The Bahamas? | 0:14:07 | 0:14:08 | |
Er, no, Soho. Soho. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
Well, the Bahamas in London, really. The nearest we have to them. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
We like to think so. Yes, I think so. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
Now, Ricky, you're on 100 points. Yeah. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
You're in very good company on 100 points. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
We need a low score from you. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |
I only really definitely know one of these ones, | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
so I'm going to go with that one. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
I don't think we should take the risk, | 0:14:27 | 0:14:28 | |
so I'm going to say the Scottish independence referendum - 2014? | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
2014, says Ricky. Not even sure about that. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
It wasn't THAT long ago. No red line for you. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
You're the joint high-scorers. Let's see how many people said 2014. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:41 | |
It's right. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
78. 178 is your total. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
Yeah, an 84.6% turnout | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
in their Scottish referendum, the largest in any election | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
or referendum since universal suffrage. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
We can just about remember back to 2014, | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
but you saw Prince George on the previous one was 2013 | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
and even that, we're starting to get to, | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
"How old is he? Four months old or something?" | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
Time tends to speed up a bit, doesn't it? | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
Indeed. Thanks very much. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:12 | |
Now, Neil. Hello. Neil, welcome back. Thank you. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:17 | |
Also just left St Andrews. Yes. Just finished your degree. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
What else did you get up at St Andrews, apart from your maths? | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
I do a lot of theatre. I was on our performing arts committee. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
It's called Mermaids. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
It's the University of St Andrews Performing Arts Fund, | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
which isn't a very glamorous title, | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
but basically, we are a self-funding body and we invest in people, | 0:15:34 | 0:15:38 | |
so people come to us with ideas of shows | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
they want to put on and then we decide. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
This is people within the university? Any student can apply | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
to the fund and there's a committee who's elected... | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
And you then grant the money | 0:15:50 | 0:15:51 | |
for those productions. Fantastic. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
I was the treasurer for the last two years. That's fun. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
Did you get involved? Did you act at all? Yeah, I actually did a lot. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
I've been down to the Edinburgh Fringe. I'm from Edinburgh anyway, | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
but I've been as part of the show from St Andrews | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
and I've also been on and offstage in St Andrews too. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
Good for you. Now, you have a target here, | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
which is 77 or less. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
77 or less, Neil. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
I have a couple I think I could guess at. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
The one I'm going to go for is the first Harry Potter film, | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
which I think was 2001. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
2001, says Neil. Let's see if that's right. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
Here's your red line. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:27 | |
Get below that with the first Harry Potter film, 2001, | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
you are into the next round. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
It's right. Very well done. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
You're through to the next round. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
That's a great score! 24. APPLAUSE | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
You're equalling our lowest score of the round over there from Ramsey. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
124 is your total. Well done, Neil. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
This is much more like it. Just to depress us all, | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
how old were you in 2001? Eight. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
LAUGHTER Mmm-hmm. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
Thanks, Richard. Pauline, welcome back. Also here | 0:16:54 | 0:16:59 | |
from the isle of Arran. Yes. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:00 | |
You and Christine have worked together for ages now, | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
had a lovely time working in the school together. Yes. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
What are your interests outside of school? | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
I like to do a wee bit of keep-fit, | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
wee bit of running and walking, wee bit of Zumba. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
Just wee bits of these things. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
I'm also a keen reader and I like to knit as well. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
What's the most ambitious thing you've committed to wool? | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
Ooh, I'm not sure I'd say it's the most ambitious thing, | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
but my current project is going to be | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
a retro 1980s Icelandic sweater on circular pins. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:33 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
Sounds quite painful. Presumably it comes off the pins before you... | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
Yes. Have you started that yet? No, | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
it's...it's a wintertime project, I think. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
I see. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
We have a target for you as well, which is 77 or less. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:50 | |
Do you want to talk us through that board? | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
Probably the first one I could probably kind of work out. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
I think it would be...2005. | 0:17:56 | 0:18:00 | |
And Barack Obama, I think 2008. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:05 | |
The first tweet would be a guess | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
and the rugby, I don't do sport, | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
so I have absolutely no clue at all about that. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
So, I think what I will say is Barack Obama and 2008. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:19 | |
2008 for Barack Obama, says Pauline. Here is your red line. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 | |
Get below that with Barack Obama, 2008, you are into Round Two. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:28 | |
Oh, no! Oh, I'm sorry, Pauline, I'm afraid | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
that's an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
Takes your total up to 200. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:36 | |
I'm sorry. Sorry, Pauline. A common trap with those US elections. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
The election took place at the end of 2008. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
They then get sworn in at the beginning of the next year, always, | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
so the answer is 2009 for when he was sworn in. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
The 60th anniversary commemorations of D-day was actually 2004. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
D-day was 1944. First public tweet? What would you guess? | 0:18:55 | 0:19:01 | |
I'd say 2007. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
2006 is the answer. 2 points for that. Great answer. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
And England Rugby World Cup? 2003. 2003. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
So, the first public tweet is the best answer on the board. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
Thanks very much, Richard. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:15 | |
At the end of our first round, the pair we're sending home, | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
I'm sorry, again, it's a Round One departure for Pauline and Christine. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
Far too soon. We've seen far too little of you. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
It's been lovely having on though. Thanks for playing. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
Pauline and Christine. Thank you. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
Hey, here we are. Round Two! | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
We've seen off one of our returning pairs already. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
Hats off to the far podium, Kevin and Ramsey, | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
the only couple to have two correct answers, | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
which is no mean achievement. Best of luck to all three pairs. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
Our category for Round Two this afternoon is... | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
Film. Can you all decide in your pairs | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
who's going first, who's going second. | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
OK, and the question is about... | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
Carry On films, Richard. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
In a moment, Xander's going to show you | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
the titles of five Carry On films. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:14 | |
We're looking for any actor who received an acting credit | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
in any of those films, please, according to IMDb. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
OK, so we're going to put up the names of five Carry On films. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
They're going to stay up for the whole round. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
They won't be changing halfway through, just so you know. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
We just need the name of any actor from any of these films | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
and here they are. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
I'll read those all again. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:39 | |
Katy. I have no idea. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
It's awful, cos I'm literally thinking an older actor that's male. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
So I'm going to go for John Cleese. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
OK, that has been controversially good or controversially bad | 0:20:53 | 0:20:58 | |
amongst our audience. Let's find out which. John Cleese. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:03 | |
Sorry, Katy, not John Cleese | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
in the Carry On films. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
No, don't think he appeared in any of them. Thanks, Richard. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:16 | |
Now, Ricky. Yes. How do you like this round? Um, it's OK, actually. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:21 | |
I did watch the Carry On films a bit when I was younger, | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
seen a few of them recently. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
Not something I watch all the time but, yeah... | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
Imagine watching them all the time! That would be a bit trying. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
That would be something, wouldn't it?! | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
Ricky, what are you going to go for? | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
Um, I'm trying to think of one of the lesser-known actors | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
that was in them. I'm going to go with Charles Hawtrey. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
Charles Hawtrey, says Ricky. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people went with Charles Hawtrey. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
Well done. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:47 | |
Look at that! Very well done indeed! 18 for Charles Hawtrey. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
Yeah, he's in four of those, Charles Hawtrey. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
Only Carry On England he's not in. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
Thanks, Richard. Now, Ramsey. Hi. What would you like to go for? | 0:22:03 | 0:22:09 | |
Well, I don't like the Carry On films for starters | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
and I don't think I've ever seen any. OK. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
It'll be a complete guess, but my guess is David Jason. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:20 | |
David Jason. Interesting. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
That earns you a little "Ooh", an interested buzz, as well. Let's see. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
David Jason. That could be interesting. Let's find out. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
David Jason - is he in any of these? | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
No, I'm afraid NOT in any of these films, | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
but quite a good sort of guess, I'd have thought. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
100 points is what that scores you, Ramsey. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
Sorry, Ramsey, not David Jason either, | 0:22:43 | 0:22:44 | |
although you mustn't say that you don't like them | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
and then say you've never seen any of them, | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
because how would you know? Exactly. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
That's what we say to our children all the time, isn't it? | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
Yes, we do say that to our children all the time. Yes. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
You don't know until you try. Exactly. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
There's some very, very, very funny Carry On films. Oh, they are. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:04 | |
At their best, they are... Magnificent. ..hard to beat. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
We're halfway through the round. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
Let's look at the scores, just the two scores between the three pairs. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
18 is where we find Ricky and Craig. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:13 | |
Very well done. Hats off to Ricky and Craig. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
Looking like strong contenders for the head-to-head at this point. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
Then 100 is where we find Ramsey and Kevin and Katy and Neil. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
So, good luck. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
Can the second players please step up to the podium? | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
OK. Kevin, Carry On films. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
We're looking for any actor credited with an appearance | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
in any of these five Carry On films. Do you watch Carry On films, Kevin? | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
Yeah, I like a Carry On. Yeah. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
I've seen Carry On Screaming! | 0:23:40 | 0:23:44 | |
And the bloke from Steptoe was in it. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
I think it was Harry H Corbett. Harry H Corbett, says Kevin. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:51 | |
No red line for you, Kevin, as you're joint high-scorers. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said Harry H Corbett. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
It's right. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:00 | |
Now that, I think, deserves to go a long way down the column. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:05 | |
Goes down to 7. Very well done, Kevin. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
APPLAUSE That is a great score. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:10 | |
107 is your total. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:11 | |
Well played, Kevin. Yeah, he was in Carry On Screaming! | 0:24:11 | 0:24:15 | |
Played Detective Sergeant Sidney Bung. Thanks, Rich. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
Now, Craig, great low-scoring from Ricky in the first pass there. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
Can you keep this up? I'm going to try. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
I have a few names in my mind. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
One of them is... I know she's in another Carry On film. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:33 | |
But I'm just going to go with a really obvious one | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
and say Sid James. Sid James, says Craig. Here is your red line. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
If you get below this red line, you're into the head-to-head. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:44 | |
How many people said Sid James? | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
It's right and you're through. Well done, Craig. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:50 | |
55. APPLAUSE | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
Well played, Craig. | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
He played Sid Boggle in Carry On Camping, Sid James. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
Thanks, Richard. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:03 | |
Now, Neil, this is where it gets slightly sweaty palm time. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:08 | |
You have to score 6 or less. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
Yeah, I have one answer and it's not going to be less than that. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:14 | |
Barbara Windsor. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:16 | |
Barbara Windsor, says Neil. OK, Barbara Windsor. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
Here's your red line, it's low. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
Let's see what happens with Barbara Windsor. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
It's right. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
76. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
APPLAUSE Takes your total up to 176, | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
Neil and Katy. Yeah, one of those situations | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
where making up a name might have been easier. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:39 | |
So, there are hundreds and hundreds of pointless answers here. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
We'll take a look at a few of them. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
Bill Owen, who found fame as Compo, of course, is a pointless answer. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
Melvyn Hayes, who was in It Ain't Half Hot Mum and many other things. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
Let's look at the top three answers, | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
the ones that most of our 100 people said. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:04 | |
Some of the other more obvious names you might have gone for... | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
Hattie Jacques would have scored you 40. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
Joan Sims would have scored 12. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
Windsor Davies, 2 you'd have got. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:21 | |
Jim Dale scored 23. Peter Butterworth scored 10. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:25 | |
Was Bob Monkhouse not in one of those? | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
I think he was in Carry On Sergeant. Was he? That's what I thought. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
Would have got you 4 points. Ah. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
Bernard Bresslaw would have scored you 18 points. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
So, some nice answers up there. Some of the classic Carry On actors. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:40 | |
Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our second round, | 0:26:40 | 0:26:42 | |
I'm afraid the couple we have to say... | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
It's our second returning pair. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
Oh, falling like flies. Neil and Katy, | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
I'm so sorry to say goodbye to you. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
Far too soon, but it's been wonderful having you on both shows. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:52 | |
Thanks so much for playing, Neil and Katy. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:00 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:27:00 | 0:27:03 | |
Very well done, Kevin and Ramsey, Ricky and Craig, | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
you're now one step closer to the final | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
and a chance to play for our jackpot, | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
which currently stands at ?1,000. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
Well, this should be a fairly no-nonsense semifinal, I would say. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:19 | |
You can now confer before you give your answers, which is fantastic. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
Let's play the head-to-head. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
Here is your first question and it concerns... | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
Capital cities, Richard. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:36 | |
Going to show you five visual clues to the names of capital cities. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
Can you tell us what those cities are, please? | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
OK, let's reveal our five visual clues, and here they come. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:46 | |
There we are. Five visual clues to capital cities. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:11 | |
Kevin and Ramsey, you're our low-scorers, so you'll go first. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
Feel free to confer. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
INAUDIBLE CONFERRING | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
A little bit of a risk, but we're going to go A, Bern. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:29 | |
Bern, say Kevin and Ramsey. Bern. Now, Ricky and Craig, over to you. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:34 | |
Talk us through the board. Um, B is the tough one, I think, for us. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:38 | |
We can't think of that one. Know all the others. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:40 | |
Um, I think we'll probably go with C, Kiev. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:43 | |
OK, Kiev, say Ricky and Craig. We have Bern and we have Kiev. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:48 | |
Kevin and Ramsey went for Bern. Let's see if that's right for A. | 0:28:48 | 0:28:51 | |
Let's see how many people agree with them. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:53 | |
Bern, well done. 27. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:03 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:29:03 | 0:29:06 | |
Ricky and Craig, meanwhile, have gone for Kiev for C. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:10 | |
Let's see if that's right and how many people said Kiev. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:13 | |
It's right. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:19 | |
Oh, 66 for Kiev. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:20 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:29:20 | 0:29:22 | |
Very well done, Kevin and Ramsey, after one question, you're up 1-0. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:26 | |
Well played. The second one is the best answer, | 0:29:26 | 0:29:28 | |
so we'll leave it for a second. Let's start at E, shall we? | 0:29:28 | 0:29:32 | |
E, of course, is Wellington, capital of New Zealand. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:36 | |
D, Brussels, capital of Belgium, of course, at 94 points. | 0:29:39 | 0:29:44 | |
Look how they've stacked those Brussels sprouts, there. | 0:29:44 | 0:29:46 | |
It's like a sprout pyramid. It is. | 0:29:46 | 0:29:49 | |
It's like the ambassador of some entirely different country | 0:29:49 | 0:29:52 | |
is spoiling... Oh, imagine if you unwrapped the Ferrero Rocher | 0:29:52 | 0:29:57 | |
and it had one of those inside. Mmm, ah! | 0:29:57 | 0:29:59 | |
Ah, the Belgian ambassador. You're spoiling... | 0:29:59 | 0:30:03 | |
Oh, you're NOT spoiling us. You got us some sprouts. Ah. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:07 | |
Now, B is the best answer on the board. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:10 | |
It can only be one thing, really, but it's the capital of Grenada. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:13 | |
St George's. St George's, yeah. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:15 | |
That would have scored 13 points, the best answer up there. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:18 | |
Well done if you got that at home. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:19 | |
Thanks, Rich. Here comes your second question. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:22 | |
Ricky and Craig get to answer it first, | 0:30:22 | 0:30:23 | |
but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
Our second question today is all about... | 0:30:26 | 0:30:29 | |
It's about tables, Richard. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:32 | |
Yeah, going to show you five facts now about tables. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:35 | |
Can you give us the most obscure answer, please? | 0:30:35 | 0:30:38 | |
OK, let's reveal our table facts and here they come. | 0:30:38 | 0:30:41 | |
I'll read all of those one last time. | 0:31:01 | 0:31:03 | |
Ricky and Craig, it's over to you. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:25 | |
Um, I remember reading about the Boris Johnson thing at the time | 0:31:25 | 0:31:29 | |
and just thinking what an obscure, weird word it was | 0:31:29 | 0:31:32 | |
that he'd come up with and I assumed at the time he'd made it up. | 0:31:32 | 0:31:35 | |
I think it was whiff-waff. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:37 | |
Whiff-waff, say Ricky and Craig. Whiff-waff. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:40 | |
Kevin and Ramsey. Um, we know a couple of them. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:45 | |
Not sure on whiff-waff. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:47 | |
But the one we're going to go for is Table Mountain | 0:31:47 | 0:31:50 | |
and we think that's in South Africa. South Africa for Table Mountain. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:54 | |
We have whiff-waff and we have South Africa. | 0:31:54 | 0:31:55 | |
Ricky and Craig went for whiff-waff. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:57 | |
Let's see if that's right and how many people said it. | 0:31:57 | 0:31:59 | |
19 for whiff-waff. | 0:32:08 | 0:32:10 | |
Well done, darling. APPLAUSE | 0:32:10 | 0:32:12 | |
Kevin and Ramsey, meanwhile, have gone for South Africa | 0:32:12 | 0:32:15 | |
as the country in which you'd find Table Mountain. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:17 | |
Let's see how many people said that. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:19 | |
It's right. | 0:32:23 | 0:32:24 | |
60. APPLAUSE | 0:32:24 | 0:32:27 | |
Which means, well done, Ricky and Craig, you're back in the game. | 0:32:27 | 0:32:30 | |
After two questions, it's 1-1. | 0:32:30 | 0:32:32 | |
Well played, quite hard to beat whiff-waff. | 0:32:32 | 0:32:35 | |
Let's look at the scores of the different ones. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:37 | |
The title of the 2011 album by Adele. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:39 | |
It's either going to be 19 or 21. | 0:32:39 | 0:32:42 | |
Let's take a look. It was 21. 21. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:45 | |
It would have score 39. That's not confusing at all(!) | 0:32:45 | 0:32:47 | |
The number of pockets on a standard snooker table? | 0:32:47 | 0:32:50 | |
Six. Six. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:52 | |
That would have scored you 89 points, pretty impressive. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:55 | |
Now, the British actor. Do you know that one? | 0:32:55 | 0:32:57 | |
You know what, I DO know this one. Brilliant. David Niven. | 0:32:57 | 0:33:00 | |
The wonderful David Niven. Well done if you said that. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:04 | |
7 points, the best answer on the board. | 0:33:04 | 0:33:06 | |
Thank you very much indeed. So, here comes your third question. | 0:33:06 | 0:33:09 | |
Whoever wins this one goes through to the final | 0:33:09 | 0:33:11 | |
and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:14 | |
Our third question today concerns bicycle parts. Richard. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:19 | |
Yeah, we're going to show you five bicycle parts now, | 0:33:19 | 0:33:22 | |
but they're in anagram form. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:24 | |
Can you unscramble them and give us the most obscure of these. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:27 | |
Very best of luck. Whichever team does best | 0:33:27 | 0:33:29 | |
is going through to play for the jackpot. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:31 | |
OK, let's reveal our five tangled bicycle parts and here they are. | 0:33:31 | 0:33:34 | |
Kevin and Ramsey go first this time. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:47 | |
Er, we're going to go for Herald Ban, handlebar. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:57 | |
Handlebar, say Kevin and Ramsey. Handlebar. | 0:33:57 | 0:34:00 | |
Now, Ricky and Craig, talk us through the board. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:04 | |
I think we know the first two, | 0:34:04 | 0:34:05 | |
but probably they're the more obvious ones. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:09 | |
I think we're probably going to have to go with the second one | 0:34:09 | 0:34:15 | |
and go with brakes. You're going with brakes. | 0:34:15 | 0:34:17 | |
So, we have handlebar and we have brakes. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:19 | |
Kevin and Ramsey went with handlebar. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:21 | |
Let's see if that's right and how many people said it. | 0:34:21 | 0:34:23 | |
It's right. | 0:34:25 | 0:34:27 | |
45 for handlebar. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:31 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:34:31 | 0:34:33 | |
Meanwhile, Ricky and Craig have gone for brakes. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:36 | |
Let's see if that's right for "Bakers". | 0:34:36 | 0:34:38 | |
Let's see how many people got that. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:39 | |
It's right. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:44 | |
76. APPLAUSE | 0:34:44 | 0:34:47 | |
Which means very well done, Kevin and Ramsey, | 0:34:47 | 0:34:49 | |
after three questions, you're through to the final 2-1. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:51 | |
Good work, Kevin and Ramsey. | 0:34:51 | 0:34:53 | |
Let's see if anything could have beaten handlebar, | 0:34:53 | 0:34:55 | |
see if you could have got into that final. | 0:34:55 | 0:34:57 | |
"Plead" is pedal, of course. | 0:34:57 | 0:34:59 | |
That wouldn't have helped you. The one at the bottom there is...? | 0:35:01 | 0:35:04 | |
Do you know that one? Mudguard. Mudguard, yeah. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:06 | |
33 would have seen you through. And "Ace tests"? Seat something? Seat... | 0:35:09 | 0:35:14 | |
Cassette. Cassette? Yeah. That's the best answer on the board. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:20 | |
That requires a bit of specialist bike knowledge. | 0:35:20 | 0:35:22 | |
People who know bikes and are good at anagrams would have got that. | 0:35:22 | 0:35:25 | |
Do you know how many people that is? 5 in every 100. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:28 | |
Look at that. But that's the best answer. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:30 | |
Very well done if you got that. Thanks, Richard. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:32 | |
The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, | 0:35:32 | 0:35:35 | |
it's Ricky and Craig. But we'll see you again next time | 0:35:35 | 0:35:37 | |
and on the strength of your performance today, | 0:35:37 | 0:35:40 | |
I'm sure you'll do just as well, if not better, then. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:42 | |
Meantime, thanks very much indeed. Ricky and Craig. Thank you. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:45 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:35:45 | 0:35:47 | |
But for Kevin and Ramsey, it's time for our Pointless final. | 0:35:47 | 0:35:50 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:35:50 | 0:35:54 | |
Congratulations, Kevin and Ramsey. | 0:35:54 | 0:35:56 | |
You have seen off all the competition | 0:35:56 | 0:35:58 | |
and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy. Yes! | 0:35:58 | 0:36:02 | |
You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot. | 0:36:07 | 0:36:10 | |
At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at ?1,000. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:14 | |
What do you want to see in this last round? I think probably music. | 0:36:14 | 0:36:18 | |
Yeah, bit of sport. Sport, music, food maybe. | 0:36:18 | 0:36:21 | |
Yeah, food and drink would be good. Yeah. | 0:36:21 | 0:36:23 | |
OK, well, let's hope today's selection has something for you. | 0:36:23 | 0:36:27 | |
We've got four, as ever. | 0:36:27 | 0:36:29 | |
LAUGHTER Yeah... Phew! Hot in here, isn't it? | 0:36:37 | 0:36:41 | |
Who's Nora Ephron? I don't know! | 0:36:41 | 0:36:44 | |
I don't know the top one or the second one. Space exploration. Uh... | 0:36:44 | 0:36:50 | |
We're going to go with the best of a very bad bunch. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:54 | |
Space exploration. Space exploration. Rich. | 0:36:54 | 0:36:57 | |
Very best of luck, gents. | 0:36:57 | 0:36:59 | |
We're looking for any of the following, please. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:01 | |
We're looking for any space mission | 0:37:01 | 0:37:03 | |
launched aboard the Saturn V rocket, please. | 0:37:03 | 0:37:06 | |
That's from 1967 to 1973, so the mission names. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:09 | |
We're looking for anyone who was aboard | 0:37:09 | 0:37:11 | |
any of the Apollo manned space flights. That's Apollo 7 onwards. | 0:37:11 | 0:37:15 | |
Or any of the 22 member states of the European Space Agency. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:18 | |
So, Saturn V launches, NASA Apollo lunar landing mission astronauts, | 0:37:18 | 0:37:23 | |
from Apollo 7 onwards, and member states of the European Space Agency. | 0:37:23 | 0:37:27 | |
Best of luck. Thanks very much, Richard. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:29 | |
As always, you have up to one minute to come with three answers. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:32 | |
All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers | 0:37:32 | 0:37:35 | |
to be pointless. Are you ready? Yes. Yes. | 0:37:35 | 0:37:38 | |
OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. Your time starts now. | 0:37:38 | 0:37:41 | |
We're better off going bottom. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:43 | |
We can guess at 22 member states of the European Space Agency, | 0:37:43 | 0:37:47 | |
so European countries. | 0:37:47 | 0:37:48 | |
Definitely Russia, but that's not going to be pointless, so... | 0:37:48 | 0:37:52 | |
Obscure European countries that have manned people to... | 0:37:52 | 0:37:56 | |
Can think of maybe the Netherlands, do you think? | 0:37:56 | 0:38:01 | |
I'm thinking more Eastern Europeans. Maybe...Kazakhstan. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:06 | |
I think they've sent a national into space. I want to say Kazakhstan. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:09 | |
Do it, mate. Russia. Sounds good. And... | 0:38:09 | 0:38:13 | |
Cos before we had Russia, a lot of people didn't know it was Europe. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:17 | |
OK, we'll have a bit of that. So, Russia, Kazakhstan. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:20 | |
What about the other two? | 0:38:20 | 0:38:21 | |
No, I think we're better off concentrating... | 0:38:21 | 0:38:24 | |
22 European states. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:26 | |
Do you reckon Uzbekistan or something obscure like that? | 0:38:26 | 0:38:30 | |
Ten seconds left. Who knows? We'll say it, mate. Go on. | 0:38:30 | 0:38:35 | |
I'm going to say Armenia. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:37 | |
All right, you've got your three. Where's Armenia? | 0:38:37 | 0:38:40 | |
OK, that is your time up. | 0:38:40 | 0:38:42 | |
Let's have your three answers and say which category you're answering. | 0:38:42 | 0:38:45 | |
So we're all going for the member states. OK, all three member states. | 0:38:45 | 0:38:48 | |
We're not entirely sure on two of them, | 0:38:48 | 0:38:50 | |
but we're just going to guess at them. But one of them's Russia. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:53 | |
Russia. Armenia. Armenia. And Kazakhstan. And Kazakhstan. | 0:38:53 | 0:38:57 | |
OK, three answers there. | 0:38:57 | 0:38:59 | |
Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer? | 0:38:59 | 0:39:02 | |
Kazakhstan sounds good. I think Kazakhstan sent an astronaut... | 0:39:02 | 0:39:05 | |
Kazakhstan goes last. Least likely to be pointless? I think Russia. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:08 | |
Russia, least likely. We'll put that first. | 0:39:08 | 0:39:10 | |
OK, let's pop those up on the board | 0:39:10 | 0:39:12 | |
in that order then and here they are. | 0:39:12 | 0:39:14 | |
Well, three good answers on the board there. | 0:39:17 | 0:39:20 | |
It looked pretty desperate, didn't it, as a category, | 0:39:20 | 0:39:23 | |
but I think you managed to find something there. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:26 | |
One of those could easily be pointless. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:28 | |
Supposing it is and you win that ?1,000 jackpot, | 0:39:28 | 0:39:31 | |
what would you do with that? Kevin? Vegas. Straight to Vegas. | 0:39:31 | 0:39:35 | |
OK, lose it immediately. Yeah. OK, Ramsey, how about you? | 0:39:35 | 0:39:40 | |
Ibiza or Vegas. OK. One of the two. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:44 | |
The black or red, there they are. Which one's it going to be? | 0:39:44 | 0:39:47 | |
Either. Well, very best of luck. As I say, three good answers. | 0:39:47 | 0:39:50 | |
Russia was your least confident answer. | 0:39:50 | 0:39:52 | |
In all three cases, | 0:39:52 | 0:39:54 | |
we were looking for members of the European Space Agency. | 0:39:54 | 0:39:56 | |
You've gone for Russia first. | 0:39:56 | 0:39:57 | |
If this is right and pointless, it'll win you ?1,000. | 0:39:57 | 0:40:00 | |
Let's see how many people said Russia. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:02 | |
Ooh, Russia, I'm afraid, an incorrect answer, | 0:40:05 | 0:40:09 | |
so obviously not a pointless answer, | 0:40:09 | 0:40:11 | |
which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot. | 0:40:11 | 0:40:13 | |
Your next answer was Armenia. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:14 | |
Again, we're looking for members of the European Space Agency. | 0:40:14 | 0:40:18 | |
If this is right and pointless, it wins you ?1,000. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:20 | |
How many people said Armenia? | 0:40:20 | 0:40:22 | |
No, bad luck! | 0:40:25 | 0:40:27 | |
I'm afraid Armenia also an incorrect answer. | 0:40:28 | 0:40:31 | |
Everything is now riding on your third and final answer, Kazakhstan. | 0:40:31 | 0:40:35 | |
If this is correct and pointless, it will win you ?1,000. | 0:40:35 | 0:40:38 | |
How many of our 100 people said Kazakhstan? Is it right? | 0:40:38 | 0:40:42 | |
No, I'm sorry! | 0:40:44 | 0:40:47 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:40:47 | 0:40:50 | |
I'm sorry. A very, very tough board, that one. | 0:40:50 | 0:40:53 | |
You know, hard to choose, really, | 0:40:54 | 0:40:56 | |
from those four categories that you had on the board there. | 0:40:56 | 0:41:00 | |
And I'm afraid Space Exploration didn't really help you out, | 0:41:00 | 0:41:03 | |
I'm sorry to say. But there we are. | 0:41:03 | 0:41:05 | |
I'm afraid you didn't manage to find a pointless answer, | 0:41:05 | 0:41:07 | |
so you don't win today's jackpot of ?1,000 | 0:41:07 | 0:41:09 | |
which will roll over onto the next show. | 0:41:09 | 0:41:12 | |
But you can be very proud of your performance across the show today. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:15 | |
It's been great to have you on. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:16 | |
And you get to take home a Pointless trophy, so very well done. Yeah. | 0:41:16 | 0:41:20 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:41:20 | 0:41:22 | |
Unlucky, gents. Russia's got its own space agency. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:28 | |
Let's take a look at the answers in the different categories. | 0:41:28 | 0:41:31 | |
Saturn V launches. | 0:41:31 | 0:41:33 | |
Some you could have guessed at. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:35 | |
Apollo 4, Apollo 6, Apollo 15, 16 and 17 all pointless answers. | 0:41:35 | 0:41:39 | |
And Skylab. Those were the pointless answers there. | 0:41:39 | 0:41:43 | |
Now, on the astronauts, there are some big names here, actually. | 0:41:43 | 0:41:46 | |
The commander of Apollo 17, Eugene Cernan, was there. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:49 | |
Both of these two were in Apollo 13, so they were both in the film. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:52 | |
Kevin Bacon plays Jack Swigert and Tom Hanks plays Jim Lovell. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:56 | |
And the third man to walk on the moon, Pete Conrad, | 0:41:56 | 0:41:59 | |
was also a pointless answer. | 0:41:59 | 0:42:01 | |
In fact, the only astronauts to score points there | 0:42:01 | 0:42:04 | |
were Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins, | 0:42:04 | 0:42:06 | |
Alan Shepard and David Scott. | 0:42:06 | 0:42:07 | |
Everyone else was a pointless answer, | 0:42:07 | 0:42:09 | |
so well done if you said any of those. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:11 | |
There's a wonderful book called Moondust, The Men Who Fell To Earth, | 0:42:11 | 0:42:14 | |
by a guy called Andrew Smith. | 0:42:14 | 0:42:16 | |
He interviews everyone who's walked on the moon. | 0:42:16 | 0:42:18 | |
It's a terrific book. | 0:42:18 | 0:42:19 | |
It's very interesting, if you love that sort of thing. | 0:42:19 | 0:42:21 | |
Lots of those guys mentioned in that. | 0:42:21 | 0:42:23 | |
Member states of the European Space Agency. | 0:42:23 | 0:42:25 | |
There's three pointless answers. | 0:42:25 | 0:42:26 | |
Might have stumbled across one of them. | 0:42:26 | 0:42:29 | |
Low-scorers - Hungary, Austria, | 0:42:33 | 0:42:35 | |
Greece and Finland all would have scored you 1. | 0:42:35 | 0:42:38 | |
Estonia, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway all would have scored you 2. | 0:42:38 | 0:42:41 | |
So, none of the Eastern European states | 0:42:41 | 0:42:44 | |
are in that European Space Agency. Thanks very much, Richard. | 0:42:44 | 0:42:47 | |
Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Kevin and Ramsey, | 0:42:47 | 0:42:50 | |
but it's been great having you on the show. Thank you for playing. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:53 | |
Kevin and Ramsey. Thanks. Thanks a lot. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:55 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:42:55 | 0:42:57 | |
Well, Kevin and Ramsey didn't win our jackpot today, | 0:42:57 | 0:43:00 | |
so it rolls onto the next show, when we will be playing for ?2,000. | 0:43:00 | 0:43:04 | |
Join us next time to see if someone can win it. | 0:43:04 | 0:43:06 | |
Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard. Goodbye. | 0:43:06 | 0:43:08 | |
And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye. | 0:43:08 | 0:43:10 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:43:10 | 0:43:12 |
