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