0:00:16 > 0:00:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:21WHISTLING
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:28 > 0:00:31the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34APPLAUSE
0:00:36 > 0:00:38And couple number one.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Hello, I'm Steve, and this is my daughter Alice,
0:00:40 > 0:00:42and we're from Sheffield. Couple number two.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Hi, I'm Craig, this is my friend Ricky, and we're from London.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Couple number three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Marian, this is my daughter Danielle, and we're from Essex.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51And finally, couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Shahan, this is my friend Jack, and we're from Bristol.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59APPLAUSE
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Thanks very much, all of you. We'll find out more about you
0:01:01 > 0:01:04throughout the show as it goes along. So that just leaves
0:01:04 > 0:01:07one more person for me to introduce. Always with his head in a book,
0:01:07 > 0:01:09or down the bog... LAUGHTER
0:01:09 > 0:01:11..it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Hiya. Hi, everybody. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Oh, that's a charming
0:01:18 > 0:01:21introduction, isn't it(?) I'm sorry. Honestly. I know.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23You know my mum watches this? Oh, she does.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25She's a big fan, big fan of yours.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Is she? I think before the show started, she preferred me to you.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31I think now, you're very much, you're very much her favourite.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35I think, no disrespect to my mum, she'll be watching, I think she now
0:01:35 > 0:01:38thinks you're one of her children. Ah, that's lovely. She goes,
0:01:38 > 0:01:42'I saw Mat the other day, that was lovely, and I saw Alexander,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45'he was on television, and he's done well, hasn't he?'
0:01:45 > 0:01:48She doesn't, really. That's nice. No... She doesn't, really.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Now, we've got one returning pair from the last show,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Ricky and Craig, who got all the way through to the head-to-head,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55so going to be quite tough to beat.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Kevin and Ramsey, who beat them in the head-to-head,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00then had, they had a very difficult, I would say endgame, didn't they?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03They did. Three incorrect answers, unfortunately, for them.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05But it would be lovely to give a jackpot away today, wouldn't it?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07That would be nice. Don't you think? I think it would...
0:02:07 > 0:02:10It's always nice to give away a jackpot, isn't it? Ah, always.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13And it gets nicer the bigger the jackpot gets, doesn't it?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Well, imagine if we gave away ?1 million, that would be nice.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19But, because it's ?1,000 a show, we'd have to have 99,999...
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Do you know, we are nearly close? We have given away...
0:02:22 > 0:02:24I can't remember how many shows we've done...
0:02:24 > 0:02:27We've done, we had 954 shows.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Is that really what we've done? Almost a million...
0:02:29 > 0:02:30No, we've given away over a million,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32cos think of the pointless answers.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35He's so good. What about that? GENTLE LAUGHTER
0:02:35 > 0:02:37I hadn't thought about the pointless answers.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Also, what about the celebrity shows? Oh, yeah.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Actually, no, they quite often don't win, do they, the celebrities?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45No, but then, we always give money to all the charities
0:02:45 > 0:02:47if they don't win, don't we? I...
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Again! Look at that, he's on it! My word. Yeah, we've given away
0:02:50 > 0:02:53over ?1 million, imagine if we decided just to do that in one go.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I know. Today! Imagine if we decided,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58just today we'll do it for over a million quid.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Let me see if we can do that.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02No, we can't do that.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Never mind, never mind. LAUGHTER
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Now, thank you very much indeed, so, Kevin and Ramsey
0:03:06 > 0:03:09didn't win the jackpot last time, which means we add another
0:03:09 > 0:03:12?1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off...
0:03:12 > 0:03:15at ?2,000. There we are. APPLAUSE
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21APPLAUSE
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I have only this to say to you - the pair with the highest score
0:03:30 > 0:03:32at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35That's it, there's the cardinal rule of the game.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Our first category this afternoon...
0:03:38 > 0:03:40is Famous People.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Famous People. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45who's going to go second?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Famous JCs.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Famous JCs, Richard.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00On each board we're going to show you seven clues to
0:04:00 > 0:04:02famous people whose initials are JC.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Just give us the most obscure answer you can, please.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at at home,
0:04:07 > 0:04:09so very best of luck. Thanks very much indeed.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12OK, so, let's reveal our first board of famous JCs, and here they are.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43I'm going to read all those again.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Steve... Mm. ..a warm welcome here, from Sheffield. Thank you.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16What keeps you busy up in Sheffield, Steve?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Er, play a bit of golf, badly,
0:05:18 > 0:05:21erm, cycle...
0:05:21 > 0:05:23like running,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25or I used to like running, but I've had to give up because of my knees.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Erm, play a bit of tennis.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32Very good indeed. Steve, what do you make of this, this board of JCs?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I think I know a few.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Mm-hm. The one I'm going to plump for
0:05:36 > 0:05:40is the male US tennis player, Jimmy Connors.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Jimmy Connors, says Steve, let's see if that's right,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45let's see how many of our 100 people said Jimmy Connors.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49It's right.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Good work, 32. APPLAUSE
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Great start to the show. 32 for Jimmy Connors.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Very solid start, Steve. Well played, yeah, five US Opens,
0:06:00 > 0:06:04two Wimbledons, and an Australian Open for Jimmy Connors.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05There we are, thank you.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Now, Ricky, welcome back. Thank you. Remind us what you do, Ricky.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11I'm a director at a PR agency.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Is it...are you part of... did you set up the PR agency?
0:06:13 > 0:06:14I didn't set it up,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17but I've been working there for quite a long time, 11 years now.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Very good. And your hobbies, Ricky.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21I like going to the cinema a lot, got a big
0:06:21 > 0:06:24collection of movies at home, as well, so yes, that would be
0:06:24 > 0:06:27my big, my big thing, really. OK, so hoping a movie round comes up
0:06:27 > 0:06:30on the show today. Yes. Now, Ricky, what about these JCs here?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Well, yeah, I think I know a few of them, but with the film thing,
0:06:33 > 0:06:37I'm going to go for the director, which is James Cameron.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39James Cameron, says Ricky.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Let's see how many of our 100 people said James Cameron.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45It's right.
0:06:45 > 0:06:4732's our only score at this point.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50You've passed it, look at that.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Ah, 16. APPLAUSE
0:06:51 > 0:06:54This is good scoring, Ricky. Well done, darling.
0:06:54 > 0:06:5616 for James Cameron.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Yeah, also directed Avatar and Titanic as well,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02two of the biggest-grossing movies of all time.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05He's also been to the deepest place in the ocean
0:07:05 > 0:07:07in his submersible.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09He's obsessed with submersibles.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10You know, submarines.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Yeah... Submarines to you and I.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Yes, but submersibles, which go down miles under.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Down to a trench. Yeah, he's been a long, long, long way down. Yeah...
0:07:18 > 0:07:21He got to the bottom. Did he? Got right to the bottom?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Yeah... What did he do when he got there...? He cleaned the tiles.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26LAUGHTER Texted some people...
0:07:26 > 0:07:29It's so deep down, they haven't been cleaned for such a long time.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31They wouldn't be, they wouldn't have been. Thank you, Richard.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Now, Marian. Hi. Welcome to Pointless, here from Essex.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35What do you do, Marian?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38I'm a support worker with people with learning disabilities.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Excellent, and what do you get up to in your spare time?
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Erm, I do quizzes,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I've got a quiz team, we go to quizzes when we can...
0:07:45 > 0:07:49How do you do generally, Marian? Do you come in the top half...?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52We've won over the years, we've been going about 20 years,
0:07:52 > 0:07:54so we've won a few... That's pretty good.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Are you good at remembering stuff?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58When answers come, do you think, "Ooh, there's one"?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Not when I'm nervous. No.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02MARIAN LAUGHS That's true.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Marian, what would you like to go for on this board? Erm...
0:08:06 > 0:08:08I know two,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11and I'm trying to think which one would be the best one to go for.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Erm, I think I'll go for the, erm, played in the 1966 World Cup-winning
0:08:15 > 0:08:17England football team alongside his brother, Bobby -
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Jackie Charlton. Jackie Charlton, says Marian.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Jackie Charlton, let's see if that's right,
0:08:22 > 0:08:24and let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Ooh, 64.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30APPLAUSE
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Well, it's a lot better than 100, Marian. Yeah. 64.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Yeah, absolutely,
0:08:34 > 0:08:37he played his entire club career with one club, Leeds United.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Went on to manage Ireland. Extraordinary career he had.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Shahan...
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Hi, Alex. ..welcome. Good to have you here.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49I'm just enjoying how well, that shirt you chose
0:08:49 > 0:08:52blends with the background, it's just, it's perfect.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Thank you very much. Shahan, what do you do?
0:08:55 > 0:09:00I'm a data executive for a supply of office printers and photocopiers.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Now, tell me what a data executive is. What do you do on a day-to-day?
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Well, most of my job consists of updating our database
0:09:08 > 0:09:11with new machines that our customers have recently installed
0:09:11 > 0:09:14or purchased, and it's my job to update the database
0:09:14 > 0:09:17with the right information, such as serial numbers,
0:09:17 > 0:09:19invoice, address, meter reads, etc.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22I did ask. There we are, good. LAUGHTER
0:09:22 > 0:09:25What do you do in your spare time, Shahan? What are your interests?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27One of my big passions is music,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29so I go to a lot of gigs and festivals,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31and more recently, I appeared in a music video.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Did you? In what? For AC/DC.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Where was that? And what?
0:09:36 > 0:09:40It was for their recent single, Rock Or Bust,
0:09:40 > 0:09:42which was filmed in London in 2014.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44And how come you ended up in the video?
0:09:44 > 0:09:45RICHARD LAUGHS
0:09:45 > 0:09:47They just posted an advert on Facebook.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I love the way you said, "How did you get to appear in that video"
0:09:49 > 0:09:51in a way that said, "..and I didn't?"
0:09:51 > 0:09:52LAUGHTER
0:09:52 > 0:09:53It would've been fun!
0:09:53 > 0:09:55"How did you get to do that? I didn't hear about that!"
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Ah, and all the band were there. Yep. That's exciting.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02So, Shahan, this board is all yours. Would you like to talk us
0:10:02 > 0:10:05through it, fill in all those JCs that haven't yet been identified?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Sure. The actor and stuntman who starred
0:10:08 > 0:10:10alongside Chris Tucker was Jackie Chan.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14The man who served as British Prime Minister from '76 to '79
0:10:14 > 0:10:16was James Callaghan.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Erm, the man who created Gavin And Stacey with Ruth Jones
0:10:19 > 0:10:23was James Corden, and I have no idea who the writer is,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26so out of those three I've mentioned,
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I'm going to go with James Callaghan as who served
0:10:29 > 0:10:31as British Prime Minister. James Callaghan, says Shahan.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Let's see if that's right,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36and let's see how many of 100 people agree with Shahan.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38It's right.
0:10:40 > 0:10:4447. APPLAUSE
0:10:44 > 0:10:4647, not bad.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Took us through the board nicely as well, there.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51The top one, Jackie Chan, would've scored you more points,
0:10:51 > 0:10:53did well to avoid it.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Jackie Chan would've scored you 63.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57A very low score for James Corden, surprisingly.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59I thought this would be higher,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02but he actually would've scored you 31 points.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05And the writer? Joseph Conrad. Joseph Conrad.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07And that would've scored you 20,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09so the best answer on the board there is James Cameron.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Very well played. Thank you, Richard.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Well, now, 16, Ricky and Craig. That's a lovely, low score.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Then we travel up to 32, where we find Steve and Alice. Well done.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26Then up to 47, Shahan and Jack. And then 64, Marian and Danielle.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29You're not way ahead, but Danielle, let's have a nice low score
0:11:29 > 0:11:31from you. Let's hope that keeps you in the game.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33We're going to come back down the line now.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40OK, we're going to put seven more famous JCs up on the board,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43and here they come.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Jack, warm welcome to Pointless to you. Thank you.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47What do you do, Jack? I'm a supervisor in a retail store.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50And what do you get up to when you're not supervising?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52A lot of films and a lot of football.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56So playing, reading, writing, etc.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59And I run a social media account called Footballers With Animals.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Footballers With Animals? Yeah. What's the best footballer/animal?
0:13:03 > 0:13:07My favourite is Duncan Ferguson with his pigeons.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Aw! Lovely to get a photo of Duncan Ferguson with his pigeons.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Has it got to the stage now where you go round with some animals,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16just in case a footballer comes along and you can just put
0:13:16 > 0:13:18the animal in the footballer's hands...?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Or you go round with a footballer,
0:13:20 > 0:13:23just in case you come across an animal. That would be easier.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Jack, you're on 47.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29You have to score 16 or less, to avoid becoming our new high-scorers.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32I knew a bit more on the previous board.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36And I'm trying to think which one of the ones I know is going to
0:13:36 > 0:13:37be the lowest.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40But I'm going to go for the 39th President of the United States,
0:13:40 > 0:13:43and that is Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter, says Jack.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45There is your red line, coming in now.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Well, let's see how you do with Jimmy Carter.
0:13:55 > 0:13:5736. APPLAUSE
0:13:57 > 0:14:00That's not a bad score. 36, I think, will probably see you through.
0:14:00 > 0:14:0483 is your total. Well played, Jack. You're not a JC, are you, Jack?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06No, JM. Oh, you should have been here two days ago.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08That was a great round.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Yeah, he won the Nobel Peace Prize as well,
0:14:10 > 0:14:14in 2002, Jimmy Carter, for his skills in diplomacy.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Thank you, Richard.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21Now, Danielle, welcome to Pointless. What do you do, Danielle?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25I work at a wildlife hospital. Now, that's nice! Where's the hospital?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27It's in Essex.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32And do you just take in all animals that people bring?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Mainly wildlife, but lots of waifs and strays and
0:14:34 > 0:14:37all sorts of weird and wonderful things.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42What's the strangest animal you've had? There's quite a long list.
0:14:42 > 0:14:48We've had a skunk. A rhea, which is a bit like an emu.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Where did someone find a rhea? Erm...
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Out the back.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56LAUGHTER
0:15:00 > 0:15:04And what do you do when you leave the wildlife hospital?
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Well, it's normally pretty hectic, but I tend to just take my dogs out.
0:15:10 > 0:15:16I've got two little fluffy babies, and I relax, taking them out,
0:15:16 > 0:15:21walking in the woods and stuff. OK, Danielle. You're on 64.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25If you can score 18 or less, you're in to the next round.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28OK. I know two.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32And they're probably really high-scoring, but I'm going to go
0:15:32 > 0:15:36with the singer in the film Walk The Line, as Johnny Cash.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Johnny Cash, says Danielle. Here is your red line.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41If you can get near to this red line with Johnny Cash,
0:15:41 > 0:15:42I think you should be all right.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said Johnny Cash.
0:15:51 > 0:15:5451. APPLAUSE
0:15:54 > 0:15:5651 takes your total up to 115.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Yeah, he was Oscar nominated for that film, Joaquin Phoenix.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02I think Danielle should team up with Jack, shouldn't she?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Surely there's a way you can get some footballers
0:16:05 > 0:16:08down to the animal hospital. Good publicity.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11If only you could find a footballer hospital.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13That's just a hospital.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Yeah, I guess. It's a good idea though, isn't it? Yeah.
0:16:16 > 0:16:22Not bad. Not bad at all. Thank you, Richard. Now, Craig. Welcome back.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Thank you. Remind us what you do, Craig. I work in PR.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29You work in the fun PR. Well, basically promoting movies
0:16:29 > 0:16:32and books and songs, and things like that.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35I work mostly from home, so I don't get out that much.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Do you ever get to meet the people you're working for? No, not at all.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42No? You just do all the hard work and they swan about
0:16:42 > 0:16:45and get all the glory on the back of Craig's work. Pretty much.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48So when you're promoting a song, how do you do that?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50A lot of e-mailing people, calling people,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53just trying to get them to review it and get it in places.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Satisfying when it works, presumably. Absolutely, of course.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01OK, now, Craig. You're on 16. Great answering skills from Ricky.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04If you can score 98 or less, you are through to Round Two.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Mm-hm. I'd like to go for the British actress who starred in the
0:17:07 > 0:17:11films Billy Liar and Doctor Ziv-ay-go.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16Film PR, Craig. Doctor Zhivago! LAUGHTER
0:17:16 > 0:17:20OK, you're going to say for that one...? Julie Christie.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Julie Christie, says Craig. Here is your red line.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Look how nice and high that is. Let's just thank Ricky for that.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Good skills there, Ricky, in the first pass.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32OK, let's see how far down the column we get with Julie Christie.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34It's right. Yay!
0:17:38 > 0:17:4124. APPLAUSE
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Our two lowest scores so far, taking your total up to 40. Very well done.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Great work, Craig. Yeah, it was her first major film role, Billy Liar.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Was it? Yeah. Obviously, she went on to huge stardom.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54She used to be my landlady, briefly. No, she didn't.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Yes, she did. Did she really? She really, really did.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00At your local pub? Or where you lived? In the local pub.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01I can't see her behind the bar.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05No, no. There was a flat that we rented for about eight months.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07What? You and I?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Yes, I'm amazed you've forgotten. Oh, yes. I remember. Slightly hurt.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Oh, that was Julie Christie? Yes!
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Oh, I didn't know. I thought it was Diana Rigg.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18No, it was Julie Christie. Was she nice?
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Couldn't have been more absent. Oh, really? Yeah.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Didn't have any trouble with her? I had none whatsoever.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Did you give her any trouble? None whatsoever.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29That's good. Maybe she'll come on Pointless Celebrities one day.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I do hope so. That'd be nice. Yeah. Then you'd have a story
0:18:32 > 0:18:38to tell her. Yeah! You'd say, "And, about the downstairs bathroom..."
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Oh, yes. Thank you very much. Anyway, there we are. So, Alice.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Hello. Welcome to Pointless. What do you do, Alice?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48I'm a training administrator, at a legal firm.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Right, I see. And what are your interests?
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Likewise, I like going to gigs and, yeah, music generally,
0:18:55 > 0:19:00and the cinema and going out walking and cycling in the Peak District.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04I'm quite lucky. Very good, Alice. This board's all yours, if you want
0:19:04 > 0:19:08to go through it and fill in those blanks, you're very welcome.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10OK, I know the last three.
0:19:10 > 0:19:16Jimmy Carr for the stand-up comedian and 8 Out Of 10 Cats.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Joan Collins for Alexis Carrington in Dynasty.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25And the last one's Jim Carrey for Canadian film star.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30I think I'm going to go for Jimmy Carr for the 8 Out Of 10 Cats.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34OK, Jimmy Carr, says Alice. Here's your red line.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36If you can get below that, you're into Round Two.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Let's see how many people said Jimmy Carr.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44It's right, and you're through. Well done.
0:19:44 > 0:19:4747. APPLAUSE
0:19:47 > 0:19:4947 takes your total up to 79.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Well played, Alice.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Funnily enough, the bottom one is a much better scorer.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I think because the characters we've chosen there might be
0:19:56 > 0:19:58slightly more obscure. It is Jim Carrey.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Only 14 points for him, so it would have been a very good answer.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04The British actress is Joan Collins, of course.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06That would've scored you 64.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10And the British comic... Julian Clary. Julian Clary.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Would've scored you 22. It's funny, isn't it? We've got all those JCs.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Mm! And yet we've missed out the most important JC of all,
0:20:16 > 0:20:18a man worshipped by millions and millions worldwide.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20John Cleese. Jimmy Cricket.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Oh, right! LAUGHTER
0:20:21 > 0:20:23So, at the end of our first round,
0:20:23 > 0:20:25the pair who are heading home with a high score of 115,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I'm so sorry Danielle and Marian, it is you.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31You've just arrived. We are sending you away almost indecently soon,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34but we'll see you again next time. Look forward to it very much indeed.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Meantime, thanks very much, Danielle and Marian.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38APPLAUSE
0:20:40 > 0:20:44But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46APPLAUSE
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Look at that, we've all made it into Round Two. Very good going indeed.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Congratulations, Ricky. Lowest score of that round.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Congratulations, Craig, for wearing something that matches Ricky
0:20:58 > 0:21:01so well, by the way. Hadn't spotted that in the first round.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Best of luck for all three pairs.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Our category for Round Two this afternoon...
0:21:04 > 0:21:06is Geography. Geography.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10who's going to go second?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12And, whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Countries whose names end in -RIA or -NIA. Richard.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Yeah, we're looking for any country in the world whose name ends
0:21:34 > 0:21:35-RIA or -NIA, please.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38It has to be a one-word country, though. As always, by country,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41we mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43So very, very best of luck. Thank you, Richard.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Now, Steve.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48I've got one. Albania.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Albania, says Steve. Let's see how our 100 rate Albania.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Oh, it's good.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Oh, it's good. Very well done, Steve.
0:22:04 > 0:22:0716 for Albania. Wonderful start to the round.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08Well played, Steve.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Yeah, its international airport was named after Mother Theresa.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Oh, that is nice. That is nice. She was a huge fan of planes.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18She used to go and spot planes. Oh, she loved them.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19Absolutely loved them.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Had she been to the airport? Was she there to open it, maybe?
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Well, she flew in there often,
0:22:24 > 0:22:26she was a commercial pilot in her later years.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Of course, she was, yes. Thank you, Richard. Ricky.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I immediately got drawn to the name of a fictional country,
0:22:33 > 0:22:35but I'm obviously too...
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Yes, not yet recognised by the UN. No, not at this moment.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40So, I'm going to go with Tanzania.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Tanzania, says Ricky.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Let's see how many of our 100 people said Tanzania.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49It's right.
0:22:53 > 0:22:5519. Well done. APPLAUSE
0:22:55 > 0:22:5819 for Tanzania.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Now, you jest, Ricky, but do you know what?
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Three of our 100 said Narnia. They really did.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Shahan. Hi, Alex.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Yeah, sticking with the African continent,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11I'm going to pick Liberia.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Shahan is going with Liberia.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Let's see how many of our 100 people agree with Shahan.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Well, 19 is our high score. 16 is our low.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26You've passed all of them!
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Look at that, Shahan. 9 for Liberia.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29APPLAUSE
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Well played, Shahan. Yeah, in western Africa.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37It's Africa's oldest republic, Liberia. I bet you didn't know that.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39I did not know that. Thanks very much.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:23:41 > 0:23:449 the best score of that pass, Shahan. Very well done.
0:23:44 > 0:23:4616 is where we find Steve and Alice.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48And in a rare moment of Ricky and Craig being the high-scorers.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52I don't know what's going on there, but, Craig, you're going to have to
0:23:52 > 0:23:55satisfy the unities and come up with a nice low score in the next pass.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Oh, God. So, good luck with that.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58We're going to come back down the line now.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Still looking for the name of any one-word country
0:24:07 > 0:24:09ending in -NIA or -RIA.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14Now then, Jack. Liberia was actually going to be my answer.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17You're on the same team, though. So, it's still working for you.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19No, no, it's fine. Yeah, it's all right. So, there we are.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Shahan did very well there.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23If you can score another 9, like Shahan, it'll be good. Yeah.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26And also it'll see you through. Yeah.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29I'm going to move away from Africa. Oh! And I'm going to go for Armenia.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32OK, Armenia, says Jack. Here is your red line. It's quite low.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34If you can get below that red line with Armenia,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36you're into the head-to-head.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Oh! You've done it, 8!
0:24:46 > 0:24:48APPLAUSE
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Lowest score so far. It takes your total up to 17.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Terrific stuff, Jack, yeah. Safe and sound at that last podium.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Armenia as it is now, modern Armenia,
0:24:57 > 0:24:59is just a tiny part of what was ancient Armenia.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02One of the first kind of cradles of civilisation. That's nice.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04It is nice, isn't it? Yeah.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06I like that civilisation has a cradle as well,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09because a lot of things don't get a cradle.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13I say it was a cradle, it was more of a hammock. That'll do.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Thank you, Richard. Now, Craig.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Craig, you're on 19, you're the high-scorers. Mm.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20We need a very low score from you.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23I don't think we're going to get that from me.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Geography is my worst subject. Absolutely useless at it.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31There was only one country I could think of other than Narnia,
0:25:31 > 0:25:35and it's Syria. Syria, says Craig.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37No red line for you, as you're the high-scorers.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Let's see how many of our 100 people said Syria.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46It's right. Thank God, I thought I spelt it wrong.
0:25:50 > 0:25:5419. You equal Ricky's score. This is good. 38 is your total.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Yeah, a lot of matching other people's scores going on here. Mm.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Damascus, which is the capital of Syria,
0:25:59 > 0:26:02one of the oldest continually habited cities in the world.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Alice.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Yeah.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Alice, listen, you have a target here, which I think is achievable.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14I don't know how good your geography is or how good your knowledge
0:26:14 > 0:26:17of countries ending in these letters is,
0:26:17 > 0:26:24but if you can score 21 or less, Alice, you are in the head-to-head.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27No, geography's not great for me. OK.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30I think I'm going to have to go for Bulgaria and hope that the
0:26:30 > 0:26:33spelling's right, because I've got no idea.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Bulgaria, says Alice. There is your red line.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37If you can get below that red line with Bulgaria,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40you are through to the next round. How many people said Bulgaria?
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Oh, no, 26! GROANING
0:26:51 > 0:26:56You needed 21. I'm afraid you got 26. That takes your total up to 42.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Yeah, sorry, Alice.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00It feels like there should be loads of answers for this.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02There's actually only 15 countries in the world with
0:27:02 > 0:27:04a one-word name ending in one of those two endings.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07And you all managed to avoid the top three. It was very impressive.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10So, I'll go through all of them. There's no pointless answers at all.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12The best answer you could've got was Macedonia,
0:27:12 > 0:27:15which would have scored you 3. 4 points for Mauritania.
0:27:15 > 0:27:188 for Slovenia.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21You'd have got 15 for Estonia. Estonia would've seen you through.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Algeria would've seen you through on 16. Lithuania on 16 as well.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Then the top three, let's take a look at them,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30the ones that most of our 100 people said when we asked them online.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Thank you very much, Richard. So, at the end of that second round,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43the pair we have to say goodbye to, I'm afraid,
0:27:43 > 0:27:44is Alice and Steve with their high score.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Not that high, actually, 42.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Pretty good, but it just is the highest of the scores we have.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51So, I'm afraid, we have to say goodbye at this point,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53but we'll see you again next time. Look forward to that.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Meantime, thanks very much Alice and Steve.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56APPLAUSE
0:27:58 > 0:28:02But, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Well done, Ricky and Craig, Jack and Shahan.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12You're now one step closer to the final, and a chance to play for
0:28:12 > 0:28:15our jackpot, which currently stands at ?2,000.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17There we are.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20Well, you know what happens here.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23You start playing as a team, chat before you give your answer.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26First player to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Well, Ricky and Craig, you've gone one up from last time.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32You were in the head-to-head, but you were the blue couple last time.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Now, you're the golden couple. Our lowest scoring pair.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36So, very well done. Jack and Shahan,
0:28:36 > 0:28:38we've had great answers from you throughout this show.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41I think you should give them a good match for their money.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51Here's your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Famous people with the surname Williams.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Yeah, we're going to show you five pictures now of people
0:28:57 > 0:29:00who share the surname Williams.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03You just need to tell us the most obscure of these five, please.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06OK, thanks, Rich. Let's reveal our five Williams, and here they are.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31There we are, five people with the surname Williams.
0:29:31 > 0:29:32Ricky and Craig, you will go first.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:29:41 > 0:29:43E... No, I don't know.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47We're quite torn, trying to decide which is the most obscure one,
0:29:47 > 0:29:51because we think we know four of the five.
0:29:51 > 0:29:56But I think we will go for D, Billy Dee Williams.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00D, Billy Dee Williams, say Ricky and Craig.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Now, Jack and Shahan, talk us through the rest of those Williams
0:30:03 > 0:30:05if you like.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09We're sure on three of them, and they're still up there.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13You can talk through all of them. A is Maisie Williams.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17B is Robbie Williams. C is Pharrell Williams.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19And then if I had to guess at E,
0:30:19 > 0:30:21I wouldn't, I'd guess Tennessee Williams,
0:30:21 > 0:30:24but I'm not sure on that one.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26We'll go for A, Maisie Williams. A, Maisie Williams.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29So, Billy Dee Williams, Maisie Williams.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Ricky and Craig went for Billy Dee Williams
0:30:31 > 0:30:33for D, let's see if that's right.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39It's right.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Oh, that's good. That's good! 13 for Billy Dee Williams.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54Jack and Shahan, meanwhile, have gone for A and said Maisie Williams.
0:30:54 > 0:30:55Let's see if that right.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Let's see how many of our 100 people got Maisie Williams.
0:31:01 > 0:31:02It is Maisie Williams.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10Ooh, 16! That's close.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12My goodness, very well done, both pairs.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14But, Ricky and Craig, well done to you.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17You win the point, and after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Yeah, very good answer. Maisie Williams there from Game Of Thrones.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23And, of course, Billy Dee Williams is Lando Calrissian in Star Wars.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Now, there is an answer that would have beaten Billy Dee Williams.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29It's not B, that is, of course, Robbie Williams.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33And he would have scored you 94 points.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35That's some going for Robbie.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38C, of course, is Pharrell Williams.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42He would have scored 57. But E would've won you the point.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45And E, Jack, is Tennessee Williams.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46THEY GROAN
0:31:46 > 0:31:49That would've scored you 4. There we go. Thank you very much.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Here comes your second question, Jack and Shahan.
0:31:52 > 0:31:53You get to answer this one first,
0:31:53 > 0:31:56but you need to win it to stay in the game.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59So, good luck. It concerns...
0:31:59 > 0:32:03Acting Knights and Dames, Richard. Yeah, we're going to show you
0:32:03 > 0:32:05the names of five Dames or Knights who are actors,
0:32:05 > 0:32:07but we've put them in anagram form.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Can you tell us who they are, please?
0:32:09 > 0:32:11We've left the word Sir or Dame off the anagram.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15OK, let's reveal our acting Dames and Knights, and here they are.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26I'll read those one last time.
0:32:35 > 0:32:36There we are.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:32:43 > 0:32:45THEY SIGH
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Yeah, we kind of struggled on this round.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52There's only one we could think of and that's Ken Being Sly,
0:32:52 > 0:32:54which is Ben Kingsley.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Ben Kingsley, say Jack and Shahan. Ben Kingsley.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01Now, Ricky and Craig, do you fancy having a shot at all the other ones,
0:33:01 > 0:33:04see how many you can get? Probably not a shot at all of them.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07But the first one, we think is Maggie Smith.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10We can't think of any of the others. You're going to go for Maggie Smith.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12We're going to go with that. So we have Ben Kingsley,
0:33:12 > 0:33:15and we have Maggie Smith. Jack and Shahan went Ben Kingsley.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people got it.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29APPLAUSE 32.
0:33:29 > 0:33:3232 for Ben Kingsley.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Ricky and Craig, meanwhile, have gone for Maggie Smith
0:33:34 > 0:33:35for Hammiest Gig.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:33:40 > 0:33:41It's right.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Oh, and it wins it.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49By a margin. Look at that. 7 for Maggie Smith.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Very, very well done. APPLAUSE
0:33:51 > 0:33:54That means, Ricky and Craig, after only two questions,
0:33:54 > 0:33:56you're straight through to the final 2-0.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00Yeah, Ben Kingsley, the biggest scorer up there, actually. Wow.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Have you got C? No, I haven't.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05C is Michael Caine. Right.
0:34:05 > 0:34:06Would have scored you 17.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Well, we'll go for the bottom one.
0:34:08 > 0:34:09Thora Hird. Dame Thora Hird.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Of course it is. 15 points for that.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15And have you got this fourth one?
0:34:15 > 0:34:17I'll tell you now, it's a pointless answer.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21Very well done at home if you said Dame Kristin Scott Thomas.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Oh, of course it is.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25You think being long, it'd be easier.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27No, they're hard because it's too many letters,
0:34:27 > 0:34:29you can't get little patterns and things.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Very well done if you said that at home. Thanks very much.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34I'm afraid the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round
0:34:34 > 0:34:36is Jack and Shahan. I'm so sorry.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Nothing wrong with either of your answers there.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Maisie Williams so nearly won you that first question.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Anyway, the good news is you'll be back next time.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45We look forward to that very much indeed.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47But, in the meantime, thanks very much, Jack and Shahan.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:34:51 > 0:34:54But for Ricky and Craig, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Congratulations, Ricky and Craig. You've seen off all the competition
0:35:01 > 0:35:04and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at ?2,000.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17There it is.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20APPLAUSE
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Well, well done. There's no argument.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Sometimes people, it's a bit of a fluke, they get into the
0:35:24 > 0:35:26head-to-head and sort of walk backwards into the final.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Not this time. You've been in the head-to-head twice.
0:35:29 > 0:35:30No accident there.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33You've done very well on both shows you've been on.
0:35:33 > 0:35:362-0 in the head-to-head this last time. No arguing with that.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Always an impressive score.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Usually bodes quite well for this round,
0:35:40 > 0:35:43obviously pending a category you like the look of.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45What do you want to see up there today?
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Anything entertainment related - movies, music.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50About Su Pollard. LAUGHTER
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Oh, we're always... We've had her on that board.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54I'm afraid she just went.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56A number of times. Yeah. Yeah. OK. Best of luck.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Let's see what today's choices look like. We have got...
0:36:10 > 0:36:11Mm. House of Lords.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13I think that the House of Lords would be one.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16Craig knows his politics. So does Ricky.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19The number 12 in film, you know, we like our movies.
0:36:19 > 0:36:20Rugby wouldn't be a good one for us,
0:36:20 > 0:36:24and the singer-songwriters, we might have a bit of luck with that one.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26So... What one do you want, then?
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Shall we just...? Shall we go with the House of Lords first?
0:36:29 > 0:36:32I think we should just give it a crack, yeah. OK.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34House of Lords. Rich. Good for you, gents.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37We've got three questions here. I hope one of these suits you.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39We are looking for any of the following, please.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42We're looking for the name of any bishop who sits in
0:36:42 > 0:36:43the House of Lords as of July 2015,
0:36:43 > 0:36:47either their title or their name, whichever you prefer.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49We're looking for anyone who has been an MP who is now
0:36:49 > 0:36:53a Labour peer, an official Labour peer in the House of Lords,
0:36:53 > 0:36:55again, as of July 2015.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57They must be representing the Labour Party in the Lords.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Or any former MP who is now a Conservative peer in the
0:37:00 > 0:37:04House of Lords. Again, title is acceptable, or their full name.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07So any bishops, any Labour peers who are former MPs or any Tory peers
0:37:07 > 0:37:12who are former MPs, sitting in the House of Lords in July 2015.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Very best of luck. OK. Now, as always,
0:37:14 > 0:37:16you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers
0:37:19 > 0:37:22to be pointless. Are you ready? Yes.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26OK. Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28There they are. You time starts now.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Neil Kinnock would be an obvious one
0:37:30 > 0:37:32from the Labour perspective. Yes, absolutely.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34I'm struggling to think of any Conservative ones. I know,
0:37:34 > 0:37:37I was really hoping it was going to be Lib Dems. Is...?
0:37:37 > 0:37:39I keep thinking Floella Benjamin, for some reason.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41She's Lib Dem, definitely. Oh, OK.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43The Archbishop of Canterbury.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45I mean, that's not going to be pointless.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48But I have no idea if he's even in the House of Lords.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50I'm thinking this was probably not the best topic to pick. Oh, my God.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54Conservative peers. Erm... I just can't...
0:37:54 > 0:37:57I'm really struggling. I thought I'd be able to think of more.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Is there one who's in the paper this week? What's his name? Lord Sewer?
0:38:00 > 0:38:01Lord Sewel. Lord Sewel.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03What's his first name? I don't think we need to know
0:38:03 > 0:38:05their first name. But Lord Sewel,
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Neil Kinnock. Neil Kinnock.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08Is Glenys Kinnock a peer as well?
0:38:08 > 0:38:11I don't know. I'm not sure.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14I think we should probably think of her. Yes.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16I'm just thinking of bishops. I just can't think of any.
0:38:16 > 0:38:1810 seconds left.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20I'm totally, totally out of ideas.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23No, I'm a bit stumped. I thought we'd know more.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25OK, we'll say those three, then. Yeah, OK.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29OK, your time is up. Let's have your three answers.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31What are you going to go for? OK. We're going to go with
0:38:31 > 0:38:34the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Archbishop of Canterbury. OK.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35Neil Kinnock. Neil Kinnock.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37And Glenys Kinnock. And Glenys Kinnock.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40OK. Of those three, your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Glenys Kinnock? Glenys Kinnock goes last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Archbishop of Canterbury. Archbishop of Canterbury. We've got
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Neil Kinnock in the middle. OK. Well, let's put those answers
0:38:48 > 0:38:50on the board in that order, then, and here they are.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Well, very best of luck. Three answers on the board.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01What if one of those turned out to be pointless - you never know -
0:39:01 > 0:39:03what would you do with your prize money?
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Two grand, it's quite a nice jackpot to be taking home. Ricky?
0:39:05 > 0:39:08I could do with a new kitchen in my flat
0:39:08 > 0:39:10so I think it would go towards that. Craig?
0:39:10 > 0:39:14I would probably spend it on treats for my cats.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16LAUGHTER They're very spoiled.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Lucky cats.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20OK. Well, the Archbishop of Canterbury was your first answer.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22In this case we were looking for bishops sitting in
0:39:22 > 0:39:25the House of Lords. Let's find out if it's right,
0:39:25 > 0:39:27and if it is pointless, it will win you ?2,000.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30How many people said the Archbishop of Canterbury?
0:39:33 > 0:39:34Well, it's right. Hey.
0:39:36 > 0:39:37Well, all it has to do now is go down to 0,
0:39:37 > 0:39:39and you can leave here with ?2,000.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43Down we go through the 30s, into the 20s, into the teens.
0:39:43 > 0:39:4411.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46APPLAUSE I'm amazed!
0:39:46 > 0:39:48A lot of people didn't get that.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51The most senior figure in the Anglican Church.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53There we are, scores 11. OK.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Not a pointless answer, therefore.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Let's find out. Your next answer was Neil Kinnock.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00In this case, we were looking for Labour peers who are ex-MPs.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06Let's see how many of our 100 people said Neil Kinnock, for ?2,000.
0:40:10 > 0:40:11Well, it's right.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15Your first answer, the Archbishop of Canterbury, took us down to 11.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19Neil Kinnock now taking us down through the teens, into single...
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Not quite into single figures.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25APPLAUSE 10.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Hey, look. We are moving in the right direction.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30We've gone from 11 down to 10. This is good.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Your third and final answer was Glenys Kinnock.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34We have to find out if it's right,
0:40:34 > 0:40:36then we have to find out if it's pointless.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38If it's both of those things, you'll leave here with ?2,000.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42How many of our 100 people named Glenys Kinnock as a Labour peer?
0:40:46 > 0:40:48No. Bad luck.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Bad luck, Ricky and Craig. I'm sorry.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53That was a tough board. Yeah. That was a really tough board.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56But it was punchy to go for the House of Lords.
0:40:56 > 0:40:57And, who knows? There might have been...
0:40:57 > 0:41:00You thought if it had been Lib Dems, you'd have been on safer ground.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Well, we were floating Floella Benjamin.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Yeah. Baroness Benjamin. Baroness Benjamin, yeah.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Well, I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that all-important
0:41:07 > 0:41:10pointless answer, so you don't win today's jackpot of ?2,000.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12That will roll over on to the next show.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14But it's been great having you on both shows.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16And, as I said, a strong performance across both.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18And you get a Pointless trophy. Very, very well done. Exactly.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Yeah. Thank you. Ricky and Craig.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:41:26 > 0:41:27Yeah, terrific performance.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Head-to-head last time, jackpot round this time.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32I think a slight change of tactics could have won you the money here.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Glenys Kinnock, same as Floella Benjamin,
0:41:34 > 0:41:38wasn't an MP, so doesn't count, I'm afraid.
0:41:38 > 0:41:39Now, the bishops.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42This is one of those rounds where you'd have won ?2,000
0:41:42 > 0:41:43just for telling us where you live,
0:41:43 > 0:41:46because let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53You could have had the Bishop of Birmingham, Bishop of Bristol,
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Bishop of Carlisle, Bishop of Chelmsford,
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Bishop of Chester, Bishop of Derby, Bishop of Ely,
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Bishop of Leeds, Bishop of Leicester, Bishop of Lichfield,
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Bishop of Norwich, Bishop of Peterborough,
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Bishop of Portsmouth, Bishop of Rochester,
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Bishop of Sheffield, Bishop of St Albans,
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Bishop of Truro, and Bishop of Worcester.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11All of those are pointless answers.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Have you ever said the word "bishop" too often?
0:42:13 > 0:42:17Now, Labour peers. There's some big names on this list.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Let's take a look at a few of them.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26In fact, every single Labour peer who's been an MP other than
0:42:26 > 0:42:29John Prescott, Neil Kinnock and Roy Hattersley,
0:42:29 > 0:42:31everybody else is a pointless answer. Lots of big names.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Jack Cunningham, Paul Boateng, George Robertson, Alf Dubs.
0:42:34 > 0:42:35All sorts of names there.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38And the Conservative peers, again, some very big names here.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Bigger names, really.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Everybody there apart from Norman Tebbit, Michael Heseltine,
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Nigel Lawson, Sebastian Coe, and Douglas Hurd.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Every other ex-Tory MP who is now in the House of Lords
0:42:52 > 0:42:53was a pointless answer.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Very well done if you got any of those at home,
0:42:55 > 0:42:57and tough luck in the studio.
0:42:57 > 0:42:58Thanks so much, Richard.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you, Ricky and Craig.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03It's been wonderful having you on the show.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Thank you so much for playing. Ricky and Craig. Thank you.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:43:08 > 0:43:11Well, Ricky and Craig didn't win our jackpot today, which means
0:43:11 > 0:43:14it rolls over on to the next show, when we'll be playing for ?3,000.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard... Goodbye.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
