CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:160:00:17

WHISTLING

0:00:200:00:21

Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:240:00:25

Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,

0:00:250:00:28

the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.

0:00:280:00:31

Let's meet today's players.

0:00:310:00:32

APPLAUSE

0:00:320:00:34

And couple number one.

0:00:360:00:38

Hello, I'm Steve, and this is my daughter Alice,

0:00:380:00:40

and we're from Sheffield. Couple number two.

0:00:400:00:42

Hi, I'm Craig, this is my friend Ricky, and we're from London.

0:00:420:00:45

Couple number three.

0:00:450:00:47

Hi, I'm Marian, this is my daughter Danielle, and we're from Essex.

0:00:470:00:50

And finally, couple number four.

0:00:500:00:51

Hello, I'm Shahan, this is my friend Jack, and we're from Bristol.

0:00:510:00:55

And these are today's contestants.

0:00:550:00:57

APPLAUSE

0:00:570:00:59

Thanks very much, all of you. We'll find out more about you

0:00:590:01:01

throughout the show as it goes along. So that just leaves

0:01:010:01:04

one more person for me to introduce. Always with his head in a book,

0:01:040:01:07

or down the bog... LAUGHTER

0:01:070:01:09

..it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

0:01:090:01:11

Hiya. Hi, everybody. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:01:110:01:14

Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Oh, that's a charming

0:01:140:01:18

introduction, isn't it(?) I'm sorry. Honestly. I know.

0:01:180:01:21

You know my mum watches this? Oh, she does.

0:01:210:01:23

She's a big fan, big fan of yours.

0:01:230:01:25

Is she? I think before the show started, she preferred me to you.

0:01:250:01:28

I think now, you're very much, you're very much her favourite.

0:01:280:01:31

I think, no disrespect to my mum, she'll be watching, I think she now

0:01:310:01:35

thinks you're one of her children. Ah, that's lovely. She goes,

0:01:350:01:38

'I saw Mat the other day, that was lovely, and I saw Alexander,

0:01:380:01:42

'he was on television, and he's done well, hasn't he?'

0:01:420:01:45

She doesn't, really. That's nice. No... She doesn't, really.

0:01:450:01:48

Now, we've got one returning pair from the last show,

0:01:480:01:50

Ricky and Craig, who got all the way through to the head-to-head,

0:01:500:01:53

so going to be quite tough to beat.

0:01:530:01:55

Kevin and Ramsey, who beat them in the head-to-head,

0:01:550:01:57

then had, they had a very difficult, I would say endgame, didn't they?

0:01:570:02:00

They did. Three incorrect answers, unfortunately, for them.

0:02:000:02:03

But it would be lovely to give a jackpot away today, wouldn't it?

0:02:030:02:05

That would be nice. Don't you think? I think it would...

0:02:050:02:07

It's always nice to give away a jackpot, isn't it? Ah, always.

0:02:070:02:10

And it gets nicer the bigger the jackpot gets, doesn't it?

0:02:100:02:13

Well, imagine if we gave away ?1 million, that would be nice.

0:02:130:02:16

But, because it's ?1,000 a show, we'd have to have 99,999...

0:02:160:02:19

Do you know, we are nearly close? We have given away...

0:02:190:02:22

I can't remember how many shows we've done...

0:02:220:02:24

We've done, we had 954 shows.

0:02:240:02:27

Is that really what we've done? Almost a million...

0:02:270:02:29

No, we've given away over a million,

0:02:290:02:30

cos think of the pointless answers.

0:02:300:02:32

He's so good. What about that? GENTLE LAUGHTER

0:02:320:02:35

I hadn't thought about the pointless answers.

0:02:350:02:37

Also, what about the celebrity shows? Oh, yeah.

0:02:370:02:39

Actually, no, they quite often don't win, do they, the celebrities?

0:02:390:02:42

No, but then, we always give money to all the charities

0:02:420:02:45

if they don't win, don't we? I...

0:02:450:02:47

Again! Look at that, he's on it! My word. Yeah, we've given away

0:02:470:02:50

over ?1 million, imagine if we decided just to do that in one go.

0:02:500:02:53

I know. Today! Imagine if we decided,

0:02:530:02:55

just today we'll do it for over a million quid.

0:02:550:02:58

Let me see if we can do that.

0:02:580:03:00

No, we can't do that.

0:03:000:03:02

Never mind, never mind. LAUGHTER

0:03:020:03:03

Now, thank you very much indeed, so, Kevin and Ramsey

0:03:030:03:06

didn't win the jackpot last time, which means we add another

0:03:060:03:09

?1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off...

0:03:090:03:12

at ?2,000. There we are. APPLAUSE

0:03:120:03:15

Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:03:170:03:19

APPLAUSE

0:03:190:03:21

I have only this to say to you - the pair with the highest score

0:03:260:03:30

at the end of each round will be eliminated.

0:03:300:03:32

That's it, there's the cardinal rule of the game.

0:03:320:03:35

Best of luck to all four pairs.

0:03:350:03:36

Our first category this afternoon...

0:03:360:03:38

is Famous People.

0:03:380:03:40

Famous People. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:03:400:03:43

who's going to go second?

0:03:430:03:45

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

0:03:450:03:47

OK, and the question concerns...

0:03:510:03:54

Famous JCs.

0:03:540:03:56

Famous JCs, Richard.

0:03:560:03:58

On each board we're going to show you seven clues to

0:03:580:04:00

famous people whose initials are JC.

0:04:000:04:02

Just give us the most obscure answer you can, please.

0:04:020:04:04

There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at at home,

0:04:040:04:07

so very best of luck. Thanks very much indeed.

0:04:070:04:09

OK, so, let's reveal our first board of famous JCs, and here they are.

0:04:090:04:12

I'm going to read all those again.

0:04:420:04:43

Steve... Mm. ..a warm welcome here, from Sheffield. Thank you.

0:05:100:05:13

What keeps you busy up in Sheffield, Steve?

0:05:130:05:16

Er, play a bit of golf, badly,

0:05:160:05:18

erm, cycle...

0:05:180:05:21

like running,

0:05:210:05:23

or I used to like running, but I've had to give up because of my knees.

0:05:230:05:25

Erm, play a bit of tennis.

0:05:250:05:27

Very good indeed. Steve, what do you make of this, this board of JCs?

0:05:270:05:32

I think I know a few.

0:05:320:05:34

Mm-hm. The one I'm going to plump for

0:05:340:05:36

is the male US tennis player, Jimmy Connors.

0:05:360:05:40

Jimmy Connors, says Steve, let's see if that's right,

0:05:400:05:42

let's see how many of our 100 people said Jimmy Connors.

0:05:420:05:45

It's right.

0:05:480:05:49

Good work, 32. APPLAUSE

0:05:520:05:55

Great start to the show. 32 for Jimmy Connors.

0:05:550:05:58

Very solid start, Steve. Well played, yeah, five US Opens,

0:05:580:06:00

two Wimbledons, and an Australian Open for Jimmy Connors.

0:06:000:06:04

There we are, thank you.

0:06:040:06:05

Now, Ricky, welcome back. Thank you. Remind us what you do, Ricky.

0:06:050:06:09

I'm a director at a PR agency.

0:06:090:06:11

Is it...are you part of... did you set up the PR agency?

0:06:110:06:13

I didn't set it up,

0:06:130:06:14

but I've been working there for quite a long time, 11 years now.

0:06:140:06:17

Very good. And your hobbies, Ricky.

0:06:170:06:19

I like going to the cinema a lot, got a big

0:06:190:06:21

collection of movies at home, as well, so yes, that would be

0:06:210:06:24

my big, my big thing, really. OK, so hoping a movie round comes up

0:06:240:06:27

on the show today. Yes. Now, Ricky, what about these JCs here?

0:06:270:06:30

Well, yeah, I think I know a few of them, but with the film thing,

0:06:300:06:33

I'm going to go for the director, which is James Cameron.

0:06:330:06:37

James Cameron, says Ricky.

0:06:370:06:39

Let's see how many of our 100 people said James Cameron.

0:06:390:06:41

It's right.

0:06:430:06:45

32's our only score at this point.

0:06:450:06:47

You've passed it, look at that.

0:06:480:06:50

Ah, 16. APPLAUSE

0:06:500:06:51

This is good scoring, Ricky. Well done, darling.

0:06:510:06:54

16 for James Cameron.

0:06:540:06:56

Yeah, also directed Avatar and Titanic as well,

0:06:560:06:59

two of the biggest-grossing movies of all time.

0:06:590:07:02

He's also been to the deepest place in the ocean

0:07:020:07:05

in his submersible.

0:07:050:07:07

He's obsessed with submersibles.

0:07:070:07:09

You know, submarines.

0:07:090:07:10

Yeah... Submarines to you and I.

0:07:100:07:12

Yes, but submersibles, which go down miles under.

0:07:120:07:15

Down to a trench. Yeah, he's been a long, long, long way down. Yeah...

0:07:150:07:18

He got to the bottom. Did he? Got right to the bottom?

0:07:180:07:21

Yeah... What did he do when he got there...? He cleaned the tiles.

0:07:210:07:24

LAUGHTER Texted some people...

0:07:240:07:26

It's so deep down, they haven't been cleaned for such a long time.

0:07:260:07:29

They wouldn't be, they wouldn't have been. Thank you, Richard.

0:07:290:07:31

Now, Marian. Hi. Welcome to Pointless, here from Essex.

0:07:310:07:34

What do you do, Marian?

0:07:340:07:35

I'm a support worker with people with learning disabilities.

0:07:350:07:38

Excellent, and what do you get up to in your spare time?

0:07:380:07:41

Erm, I do quizzes,

0:07:410:07:42

I've got a quiz team, we go to quizzes when we can...

0:07:420:07:45

How do you do generally, Marian? Do you come in the top half...?

0:07:450:07:49

We've won over the years, we've been going about 20 years,

0:07:490:07:52

so we've won a few... That's pretty good.

0:07:520:07:54

Are you good at remembering stuff?

0:07:540:07:56

When answers come, do you think, "Ooh, there's one"?

0:07:560:07:58

Not when I'm nervous. No.

0:07:580:08:00

MARIAN LAUGHS That's true.

0:08:000:08:02

Marian, what would you like to go for on this board? Erm...

0:08:020:08:06

I know two,

0:08:060:08:08

and I'm trying to think which one would be the best one to go for.

0:08:080:08:11

Erm, I think I'll go for the, erm, played in the 1966 World Cup-winning

0:08:110:08:15

England football team alongside his brother, Bobby -

0:08:150:08:17

Jackie Charlton. Jackie Charlton, says Marian.

0:08:170:08:20

Jackie Charlton, let's see if that's right,

0:08:200:08:22

and let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:08:220:08:24

Ooh, 64.

0:08:270:08:29

APPLAUSE

0:08:290:08:30

Well, it's a lot better than 100, Marian. Yeah. 64.

0:08:300:08:33

Yeah, absolutely,

0:08:330:08:34

he played his entire club career with one club, Leeds United.

0:08:340:08:37

Went on to manage Ireland. Extraordinary career he had.

0:08:370:08:40

Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Shahan...

0:08:400:08:44

Hi, Alex. ..welcome. Good to have you here.

0:08:440:08:47

I'm just enjoying how well, that shirt you chose

0:08:470:08:49

blends with the background, it's just, it's perfect.

0:08:490:08:52

Thank you very much. Shahan, what do you do?

0:08:520:08:55

I'm a data executive for a supply of office printers and photocopiers.

0:08:550:09:00

Now, tell me what a data executive is. What do you do on a day-to-day?

0:09:000:09:04

Well, most of my job consists of updating our database

0:09:040:09:08

with new machines that our customers have recently installed

0:09:080:09:11

or purchased, and it's my job to update the database

0:09:110:09:14

with the right information, such as serial numbers,

0:09:140:09:17

invoice, address, meter reads, etc.

0:09:170:09:19

I did ask. There we are, good. LAUGHTER

0:09:190:09:22

What do you do in your spare time, Shahan? What are your interests?

0:09:220:09:25

One of my big passions is music,

0:09:250:09:27

so I go to a lot of gigs and festivals,

0:09:270:09:29

and more recently, I appeared in a music video.

0:09:290:09:31

Did you? In what? For AC/DC.

0:09:310:09:34

Where was that? And what?

0:09:340:09:36

It was for their recent single, Rock Or Bust,

0:09:360:09:40

which was filmed in London in 2014.

0:09:400:09:42

And how come you ended up in the video?

0:09:420:09:44

RICHARD LAUGHS

0:09:440:09:45

They just posted an advert on Facebook.

0:09:450:09:47

I love the way you said, "How did you get to appear in that video"

0:09:470:09:49

in a way that said, "..and I didn't?"

0:09:490:09:51

LAUGHTER

0:09:510:09:52

It would've been fun!

0:09:520:09:53

"How did you get to do that? I didn't hear about that!"

0:09:530:09:55

Ah, and all the band were there. Yep. That's exciting.

0:09:550:09:58

So, Shahan, this board is all yours. Would you like to talk us

0:09:580:10:02

through it, fill in all those JCs that haven't yet been identified?

0:10:020:10:05

Sure. The actor and stuntman who starred

0:10:050:10:08

alongside Chris Tucker was Jackie Chan.

0:10:080:10:10

The man who served as British Prime Minister from '76 to '79

0:10:100:10:14

was James Callaghan.

0:10:140:10:16

Erm, the man who created Gavin And Stacey with Ruth Jones

0:10:160:10:19

was James Corden, and I have no idea who the writer is,

0:10:190:10:23

so out of those three I've mentioned,

0:10:230:10:26

I'm going to go with James Callaghan as who served

0:10:260:10:29

as British Prime Minister. James Callaghan, says Shahan.

0:10:290:10:31

Let's see if that's right,

0:10:310:10:33

and let's see how many of 100 people agree with Shahan.

0:10:330:10:36

It's right.

0:10:360:10:38

47. APPLAUSE

0:10:400:10:44

47, not bad.

0:10:440:10:46

Took us through the board nicely as well, there.

0:10:460:10:48

The top one, Jackie Chan, would've scored you more points,

0:10:480:10:51

did well to avoid it.

0:10:510:10:53

Jackie Chan would've scored you 63.

0:10:530:10:55

A very low score for James Corden, surprisingly.

0:10:550:10:57

I thought this would be higher,

0:10:570:10:59

but he actually would've scored you 31 points.

0:10:590:11:02

And the writer? Joseph Conrad. Joseph Conrad.

0:11:020:11:05

And that would've scored you 20,

0:11:050:11:07

so the best answer on the board there is James Cameron.

0:11:070:11:09

Very well played. Thank you, Richard.

0:11:090:11:11

We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.

0:11:110:11:15

Well, now, 16, Ricky and Craig. That's a lovely, low score.

0:11:150:11:18

Then we travel up to 32, where we find Steve and Alice. Well done.

0:11:180:11:21

Then up to 47, Shahan and Jack. And then 64, Marian and Danielle.

0:11:210:11:26

You're not way ahead, but Danielle, let's have a nice low score

0:11:260:11:29

from you. Let's hope that keeps you in the game.

0:11:290:11:31

We're going to come back down the line now.

0:11:310:11:33

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:11:330:11:35

OK, we're going to put seven more famous JCs up on the board,

0:11:370:11:40

and here they come.

0:11:400:11:43

I'm going to read those all one last time.

0:12:100:12:12

Jack, warm welcome to Pointless to you. Thank you.

0:12:390:12:43

What do you do, Jack? I'm a supervisor in a retail store.

0:12:430:12:47

And what do you get up to when you're not supervising?

0:12:470:12:50

A lot of films and a lot of football.

0:12:500:12:52

So playing, reading, writing, etc.

0:12:520:12:56

And I run a social media account called Footballers With Animals.

0:12:560:12:59

Footballers With Animals? Yeah. What's the best footballer/animal?

0:12:590:13:03

My favourite is Duncan Ferguson with his pigeons.

0:13:030:13:07

Aw! Lovely to get a photo of Duncan Ferguson with his pigeons.

0:13:070:13:11

Has it got to the stage now where you go round with some animals,

0:13:110:13:14

just in case a footballer comes along and you can just put

0:13:140:13:16

the animal in the footballer's hands...?

0:13:160:13:18

Or you go round with a footballer,

0:13:180:13:20

just in case you come across an animal. That would be easier.

0:13:200:13:23

Jack, you're on 47.

0:13:230:13:25

You have to score 16 or less, to avoid becoming our new high-scorers.

0:13:250:13:29

I knew a bit more on the previous board.

0:13:290:13:32

And I'm trying to think which one of the ones I know is going to

0:13:320:13:36

be the lowest.

0:13:360:13:37

But I'm going to go for the 39th President of the United States,

0:13:370:13:40

and that is Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter, says Jack.

0:13:400:13:43

There is your red line, coming in now.

0:13:430:13:45

Well, let's see how you do with Jimmy Carter.

0:13:450:13:48

36. APPLAUSE

0:13:550:13:57

That's not a bad score. 36, I think, will probably see you through.

0:13:570:14:00

83 is your total. Well played, Jack. You're not a JC, are you, Jack?

0:14:000:14:04

No, JM. Oh, you should have been here two days ago.

0:14:040:14:06

That was a great round.

0:14:060:14:08

Yeah, he won the Nobel Peace Prize as well,

0:14:080:14:10

in 2002, Jimmy Carter, for his skills in diplomacy.

0:14:100:14:14

Thank you, Richard.

0:14:140:14:16

Now, Danielle, welcome to Pointless. What do you do, Danielle?

0:14:160:14:21

I work at a wildlife hospital. Now, that's nice! Where's the hospital?

0:14:210:14:25

It's in Essex.

0:14:250:14:27

And do you just take in all animals that people bring?

0:14:270:14:32

Mainly wildlife, but lots of waifs and strays and

0:14:320:14:34

all sorts of weird and wonderful things.

0:14:340:14:37

What's the strangest animal you've had? There's quite a long list.

0:14:370:14:42

We've had a skunk. A rhea, which is a bit like an emu.

0:14:420:14:48

Where did someone find a rhea? Erm...

0:14:480:14:51

Out the back.

0:14:510:14:52

LAUGHTER

0:14:520:14:56

And what do you do when you leave the wildlife hospital?

0:15:000:15:04

Well, it's normally pretty hectic, but I tend to just take my dogs out.

0:15:060:15:10

I've got two little fluffy babies, and I relax, taking them out,

0:15:100:15:16

walking in the woods and stuff. OK, Danielle. You're on 64.

0:15:160:15:21

If you can score 18 or less, you're in to the next round.

0:15:210:15:25

OK. I know two.

0:15:250:15:28

And they're probably really high-scoring, but I'm going to go

0:15:280:15:32

with the singer in the film Walk The Line, as Johnny Cash.

0:15:320:15:36

Johnny Cash, says Danielle. Here is your red line.

0:15:360:15:39

If you can get near to this red line with Johnny Cash,

0:15:390:15:41

I think you should be all right.

0:15:410:15:42

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Johnny Cash.

0:15:420:15:45

51. APPLAUSE

0:15:510:15:54

51 takes your total up to 115.

0:15:540:15:56

Yeah, he was Oscar nominated for that film, Joaquin Phoenix.

0:15:560:15:59

I think Danielle should team up with Jack, shouldn't she?

0:15:590:16:02

Surely there's a way you can get some footballers

0:16:020:16:05

down to the animal hospital. Good publicity.

0:16:050:16:08

If only you could find a footballer hospital.

0:16:080:16:11

That's just a hospital.

0:16:110:16:13

Yeah, I guess. It's a good idea though, isn't it? Yeah.

0:16:130:16:16

Not bad. Not bad at all. Thank you, Richard. Now, Craig. Welcome back.

0:16:160:16:22

Thank you. Remind us what you do, Craig. I work in PR.

0:16:220:16:25

You work in the fun PR. Well, basically promoting movies

0:16:250:16:29

and books and songs, and things like that.

0:16:290:16:32

I work mostly from home, so I don't get out that much.

0:16:320:16:35

Do you ever get to meet the people you're working for? No, not at all.

0:16:350:16:39

No? You just do all the hard work and they swan about

0:16:390:16:42

and get all the glory on the back of Craig's work. Pretty much.

0:16:420:16:45

So when you're promoting a song, how do you do that?

0:16:450:16:48

A lot of e-mailing people, calling people,

0:16:480:16:50

just trying to get them to review it and get it in places.

0:16:500:16:53

Satisfying when it works, presumably. Absolutely, of course.

0:16:530:16:57

OK, now, Craig. You're on 16. Great answering skills from Ricky.

0:16:570:17:01

If you can score 98 or less, you are through to Round Two.

0:17:010:17:04

Mm-hm. I'd like to go for the British actress who starred in the

0:17:040:17:07

films Billy Liar and Doctor Ziv-ay-go.

0:17:070:17:11

Film PR, Craig. Doctor Zhivago! LAUGHTER

0:17:110:17:16

OK, you're going to say for that one...? Julie Christie.

0:17:160:17:20

Julie Christie, says Craig. Here is your red line.

0:17:200:17:23

Look how nice and high that is. Let's just thank Ricky for that.

0:17:230:17:26

Good skills there, Ricky, in the first pass.

0:17:260:17:28

OK, let's see how far down the column we get with Julie Christie.

0:17:280:17:32

It's right. Yay!

0:17:320:17:34

24. APPLAUSE

0:17:380:17:41

Our two lowest scores so far, taking your total up to 40. Very well done.

0:17:410:17:45

Great work, Craig. Yeah, it was her first major film role, Billy Liar.

0:17:450:17:49

Was it? Yeah. Obviously, she went on to huge stardom.

0:17:490:17:52

She used to be my landlady, briefly. No, she didn't.

0:17:520:17:54

Yes, she did. Did she really? She really, really did.

0:17:540:17:57

At your local pub? Or where you lived? In the local pub.

0:17:570:18:00

I can't see her behind the bar.

0:18:000:18:01

No, no. There was a flat that we rented for about eight months.

0:18:010:18:05

What? You and I?

0:18:050:18:07

Yes, I'm amazed you've forgotten. Oh, yes. I remember. Slightly hurt.

0:18:070:18:10

Oh, that was Julie Christie? Yes!

0:18:100:18:12

Oh, I didn't know. I thought it was Diana Rigg.

0:18:120:18:16

No, it was Julie Christie. Was she nice?

0:18:160:18:18

Couldn't have been more absent. Oh, really? Yeah.

0:18:180:18:21

Didn't have any trouble with her? I had none whatsoever.

0:18:210:18:23

Did you give her any trouble? None whatsoever.

0:18:230:18:26

That's good. Maybe she'll come on Pointless Celebrities one day.

0:18:260:18:29

I do hope so. That'd be nice. Yeah. Then you'd have a story

0:18:290:18:32

to tell her. Yeah! You'd say, "And, about the downstairs bathroom..."

0:18:320:18:38

Oh, yes. Thank you very much. Anyway, there we are. So, Alice.

0:18:380:18:42

Hello. Welcome to Pointless. What do you do, Alice?

0:18:420:18:45

I'm a training administrator, at a legal firm.

0:18:450:18:48

Right, I see. And what are your interests?

0:18:480:18:51

Likewise, I like going to gigs and, yeah, music generally,

0:18:510:18:55

and the cinema and going out walking and cycling in the Peak District.

0:18:550:19:00

I'm quite lucky. Very good, Alice. This board's all yours, if you want

0:19:000:19:04

to go through it and fill in those blanks, you're very welcome.

0:19:040:19:08

OK, I know the last three.

0:19:080:19:10

Jimmy Carr for the stand-up comedian and 8 Out Of 10 Cats.

0:19:100:19:16

Joan Collins for Alexis Carrington in Dynasty.

0:19:160:19:20

And the last one's Jim Carrey for Canadian film star.

0:19:200:19:25

I think I'm going to go for Jimmy Carr for the 8 Out Of 10 Cats.

0:19:250:19:30

OK, Jimmy Carr, says Alice. Here's your red line.

0:19:300:19:34

If you can get below that, you're into Round Two.

0:19:340:19:36

Let's see how many people said Jimmy Carr.

0:19:360:19:38

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

0:19:410:19:44

47. APPLAUSE

0:19:440:19:47

47 takes your total up to 79.

0:19:470:19:49

Well played, Alice.

0:19:500:19:52

Funnily enough, the bottom one is a much better scorer.

0:19:520:19:54

I think because the characters we've chosen there might be

0:19:540:19:56

slightly more obscure. It is Jim Carrey.

0:19:560:19:58

Only 14 points for him, so it would have been a very good answer.

0:19:580:20:00

The British actress is Joan Collins, of course.

0:20:000:20:04

That would've scored you 64.

0:20:040:20:06

And the British comic... Julian Clary. Julian Clary.

0:20:060:20:10

Would've scored you 22. It's funny, isn't it? We've got all those JCs.

0:20:100:20:13

Mm! And yet we've missed out the most important JC of all,

0:20:130:20:16

a man worshipped by millions and millions worldwide.

0:20:160:20:18

John Cleese. Jimmy Cricket.

0:20:180:20:20

Oh, right! LAUGHTER

0:20:200:20:21

So, at the end of our first round,

0:20:210:20:23

the pair who are heading home with a high score of 115,

0:20:230:20:25

I'm so sorry Danielle and Marian, it is you.

0:20:250:20:28

You've just arrived. We are sending you away almost indecently soon,

0:20:280:20:31

but we'll see you again next time. Look forward to it very much indeed.

0:20:310:20:34

Meantime, thanks very much, Danielle and Marian.

0:20:340:20:37

APPLAUSE

0:20:370:20:38

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

0:20:400:20:44

APPLAUSE

0:20:440:20:46

Look at that, we've all made it into Round Two. Very good going indeed.

0:20:480:20:52

Congratulations, Ricky. Lowest score of that round.

0:20:520:20:55

Congratulations, Craig, for wearing something that matches Ricky

0:20:550:20:58

so well, by the way. Hadn't spotted that in the first round.

0:20:580:21:01

Best of luck for all three pairs.

0:21:010:21:02

Our category for Round Two this afternoon...

0:21:020:21:04

is Geography. Geography.

0:21:040:21:06

Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:21:060:21:08

who's going to go second?

0:21:080:21:10

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

0:21:100:21:12

OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.

0:21:150:21:17

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...

0:21:170:21:21

Countries whose names end in -RIA or -NIA. Richard.

0:21:280:21:31

Yeah, we're looking for any country in the world whose name ends

0:21:310:21:34

-RIA or -NIA, please.

0:21:340:21:35

It has to be a one-word country, though. As always, by country,

0:21:350:21:38

we mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right.

0:21:380:21:41

So very, very best of luck. Thank you, Richard.

0:21:410:21:43

Now, Steve.

0:21:430:21:46

I've got one. Albania.

0:21:460:21:48

Albania, says Steve. Let's see how our 100 rate Albania.

0:21:480:21:52

Oh, it's good.

0:22:000:22:02

Oh, it's good. Very well done, Steve.

0:22:020:22:04

16 for Albania. Wonderful start to the round.

0:22:040:22:07

Well played, Steve.

0:22:070:22:08

Yeah, its international airport was named after Mother Theresa.

0:22:080:22:11

Oh, that is nice. That is nice. She was a huge fan of planes.

0:22:110:22:14

She used to go and spot planes. Oh, she loved them.

0:22:140:22:18

Absolutely loved them.

0:22:180:22:19

Had she been to the airport? Was she there to open it, maybe?

0:22:190:22:23

Well, she flew in there often,

0:22:230:22:24

she was a commercial pilot in her later years.

0:22:240:22:26

Of course, she was, yes. Thank you, Richard. Ricky.

0:22:260:22:30

I immediately got drawn to the name of a fictional country,

0:22:300:22:33

but I'm obviously too...

0:22:330:22:35

Yes, not yet recognised by the UN. No, not at this moment.

0:22:350:22:38

So, I'm going to go with Tanzania.

0:22:380:22:40

Tanzania, says Ricky.

0:22:400:22:42

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Tanzania.

0:22:420:22:44

It's right.

0:22:480:22:49

19. Well done. APPLAUSE

0:22:530:22:55

19 for Tanzania.

0:22:550:22:58

Now, you jest, Ricky, but do you know what?

0:22:580:23:00

Three of our 100 said Narnia. They really did.

0:23:000:23:03

Shahan. Hi, Alex.

0:23:040:23:06

Yeah, sticking with the African continent,

0:23:060:23:09

I'm going to pick Liberia.

0:23:090:23:11

Shahan is going with Liberia.

0:23:110:23:13

Let's see how many of our 100 people agree with Shahan.

0:23:130:23:15

Well, 19 is our high score. 16 is our low.

0:23:210:23:24

You've passed all of them!

0:23:240:23:26

Look at that, Shahan. 9 for Liberia.

0:23:260:23:28

APPLAUSE

0:23:280:23:29

Well played, Shahan. Yeah, in western Africa.

0:23:310:23:33

It's Africa's oldest republic, Liberia. I bet you didn't know that.

0:23:330:23:37

I did not know that. Thanks very much.

0:23:370:23:39

We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.

0:23:390:23:41

9 the best score of that pass, Shahan. Very well done.

0:23:410:23:44

16 is where we find Steve and Alice.

0:23:440:23:46

And in a rare moment of Ricky and Craig being the high-scorers.

0:23:460:23:48

I don't know what's going on there, but, Craig, you're going to have to

0:23:480:23:52

satisfy the unities and come up with a nice low score in the next pass.

0:23:520:23:55

Oh, God. So, good luck with that.

0:23:550:23:56

We're going to come back down the line now.

0:23:560:23:58

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:23:580:24:01

Still looking for the name of any one-word country

0:24:030:24:07

ending in -NIA or -RIA.

0:24:070:24:09

Now then, Jack. Liberia was actually going to be my answer.

0:24:090:24:14

You're on the same team, though. So, it's still working for you.

0:24:140:24:17

No, no, it's fine. Yeah, it's all right. So, there we are.

0:24:170:24:19

Shahan did very well there.

0:24:190:24:20

If you can score another 9, like Shahan, it'll be good. Yeah.

0:24:200:24:23

And also it'll see you through. Yeah.

0:24:230:24:26

I'm going to move away from Africa. Oh! And I'm going to go for Armenia.

0:24:260:24:29

OK, Armenia, says Jack. Here is your red line. It's quite low.

0:24:290:24:32

If you can get below that red line with Armenia,

0:24:320:24:34

you're into the head-to-head.

0:24:340:24:36

Oh! You've done it, 8!

0:24:440:24:46

APPLAUSE

0:24:460:24:48

Lowest score so far. It takes your total up to 17.

0:24:480:24:51

Terrific stuff, Jack, yeah. Safe and sound at that last podium.

0:24:510:24:55

Armenia as it is now, modern Armenia,

0:24:550:24:57

is just a tiny part of what was ancient Armenia.

0:24:570:24:59

One of the first kind of cradles of civilisation. That's nice.

0:24:590:25:02

It is nice, isn't it? Yeah.

0:25:020:25:04

I like that civilisation has a cradle as well,

0:25:040:25:06

because a lot of things don't get a cradle.

0:25:060:25:09

I say it was a cradle, it was more of a hammock. That'll do.

0:25:090:25:13

Thank you, Richard. Now, Craig.

0:25:130:25:16

Craig, you're on 19, you're the high-scorers. Mm.

0:25:160:25:18

We need a very low score from you.

0:25:180:25:20

I don't think we're going to get that from me.

0:25:200:25:23

Geography is my worst subject. Absolutely useless at it.

0:25:230:25:27

There was only one country I could think of other than Narnia,

0:25:270:25:31

and it's Syria. Syria, says Craig.

0:25:310:25:35

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

0:25:350:25:37

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Syria.

0:25:370:25:40

It's right. Thank God, I thought I spelt it wrong.

0:25:420:25:46

19. You equal Ricky's score. This is good. 38 is your total.

0:25:500:25:54

Yeah, a lot of matching other people's scores going on here. Mm.

0:25:540:25:57

Damascus, which is the capital of Syria,

0:25:570:25:59

one of the oldest continually habited cities in the world.

0:25:590:26:02

Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Alice.

0:26:020:26:05

Yeah.

0:26:050:26:07

Alice, listen, you have a target here, which I think is achievable.

0:26:070:26:10

I don't know how good your geography is or how good your knowledge

0:26:100:26:14

of countries ending in these letters is,

0:26:140:26:17

but if you can score 21 or less, Alice, you are in the head-to-head.

0:26:170:26:24

No, geography's not great for me. OK.

0:26:240:26:27

I think I'm going to have to go for Bulgaria and hope that the

0:26:270:26:30

spelling's right, because I've got no idea.

0:26:300:26:33

Bulgaria, says Alice. There is your red line.

0:26:330:26:36

If you can get below that red line with Bulgaria,

0:26:360:26:37

you are through to the next round. How many people said Bulgaria?

0:26:370:26:40

Oh, no, 26! GROANING

0:26:480:26:51

You needed 21. I'm afraid you got 26. That takes your total up to 42.

0:26:510:26:56

Yeah, sorry, Alice.

0:26:560:26:58

It feels like there should be loads of answers for this.

0:26:580:27:00

There's actually only 15 countries in the world with

0:27:000:27:02

a one-word name ending in one of those two endings.

0:27:020:27:04

And you all managed to avoid the top three. It was very impressive.

0:27:040:27:07

So, I'll go through all of them. There's no pointless answers at all.

0:27:070:27:10

The best answer you could've got was Macedonia,

0:27:100:27:12

which would have scored you 3. 4 points for Mauritania.

0:27:120:27:15

8 for Slovenia.

0:27:150:27:18

You'd have got 15 for Estonia. Estonia would've seen you through.

0:27:180:27:21

Algeria would've seen you through on 16. Lithuania on 16 as well.

0:27:210:27:24

Then the top three, let's take a look at them,

0:27:240:27:27

the ones that most of our 100 people said when we asked them online.

0:27:270:27:30

Thank you very much, Richard. So, at the end of that second round,

0:27:370:27:40

the pair we have to say goodbye to, I'm afraid,

0:27:400:27:43

is Alice and Steve with their high score.

0:27:430:27:44

Not that high, actually, 42.

0:27:440:27:46

Pretty good, but it just is the highest of the scores we have.

0:27:460:27:49

So, I'm afraid, we have to say goodbye at this point,

0:27:490:27:51

but we'll see you again next time. Look forward to that.

0:27:510:27:53

Meantime, thanks very much Alice and Steve.

0:27:530:27:55

APPLAUSE

0:27:550:27:56

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

0:27:580:28:02

Well done, Ricky and Craig, Jack and Shahan.

0:28:070:28:09

You're now one step closer to the final, and a chance to play for

0:28:090:28:12

our jackpot, which currently stands at ?2,000.

0:28:120:28:15

There we are.

0:28:150:28:17

Well, you know what happens here.

0:28:190:28:20

You start playing as a team, chat before you give your answer.

0:28:200:28:23

First player to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:28:230:28:26

Well, Ricky and Craig, you've gone one up from last time.

0:28:260:28:29

You were in the head-to-head, but you were the blue couple last time.

0:28:290:28:32

Now, you're the golden couple. Our lowest scoring pair.

0:28:320:28:34

So, very well done. Jack and Shahan,

0:28:340:28:36

we've had great answers from you throughout this show.

0:28:360:28:38

I think you should give them a good match for their money.

0:28:380:28:41

Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.

0:28:410:28:44

Here's your first question, and it concerns...

0:28:470:28:51

Famous people with the surname Williams.

0:28:530:28:55

Yeah, we're going to show you five pictures now of people

0:28:550:28:57

who share the surname Williams.

0:28:570:29:00

You just need to tell us the most obscure of these five, please.

0:29:000:29:03

OK, thanks, Rich. Let's reveal our five Williams, and here they are.

0:29:030:29:06

There we are, five people with the surname Williams.

0:29:270:29:31

Ricky and Craig, you will go first.

0:29:310:29:32

THEY CONFER QUIETLY

0:29:320:29:35

E... No, I don't know.

0:29:410:29:43

We're quite torn, trying to decide which is the most obscure one,

0:29:430:29:47

because we think we know four of the five.

0:29:470:29:51

But I think we will go for D, Billy Dee Williams.

0:29:510:29:56

D, Billy Dee Williams, say Ricky and Craig.

0:29:560:30:00

Now, Jack and Shahan, talk us through the rest of those Williams

0:30:000:30:03

if you like.

0:30:030:30:05

We're sure on three of them, and they're still up there.

0:30:050:30:09

You can talk through all of them. A is Maisie Williams.

0:30:090:30:13

B is Robbie Williams. C is Pharrell Williams.

0:30:130:30:17

And then if I had to guess at E,

0:30:170:30:19

I wouldn't, I'd guess Tennessee Williams,

0:30:190:30:21

but I'm not sure on that one.

0:30:210:30:24

We'll go for A, Maisie Williams. A, Maisie Williams.

0:30:240:30:26

So, Billy Dee Williams, Maisie Williams.

0:30:260:30:29

Ricky and Craig went for Billy Dee Williams

0:30:290:30:31

for D, let's see if that's right.

0:30:310:30:33

Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:30:330:30:35

It's right.

0:30:370:30:39

Oh, that's good. That's good! 13 for Billy Dee Williams.

0:30:430:30:47

Jack and Shahan, meanwhile, have gone for A and said Maisie Williams.

0:30:500:30:54

Let's see if that right.

0:30:540:30:55

Let's see how many of our 100 people got Maisie Williams.

0:30:550:30:58

It is Maisie Williams.

0:31:010:31:02

Ooh, 16! That's close.

0:31:060:31:10

My goodness, very well done, both pairs.

0:31:100:31:12

But, Ricky and Craig, well done to you.

0:31:120:31:14

You win the point, and after one question, you're up 1-0.

0:31:140:31:17

Yeah, very good answer. Maisie Williams there from Game Of Thrones.

0:31:170:31:20

And, of course, Billy Dee Williams is Lando Calrissian in Star Wars.

0:31:200:31:23

Now, there is an answer that would have beaten Billy Dee Williams.

0:31:230:31:26

It's not B, that is, of course, Robbie Williams.

0:31:260:31:29

And he would have scored you 94 points.

0:31:290:31:33

That's some going for Robbie.

0:31:330:31:35

C, of course, is Pharrell Williams.

0:31:350:31:38

He would have scored 57. But E would've won you the point.

0:31:380:31:42

And E, Jack, is Tennessee Williams.

0:31:420:31:45

THEY GROAN

0:31:450:31:46

That would've scored you 4. There we go. Thank you very much.

0:31:460:31:49

Here comes your second question, Jack and Shahan.

0:31:490:31:52

You get to answer this one first,

0:31:520:31:53

but you need to win it to stay in the game.

0:31:530:31:56

So, good luck. It concerns...

0:31:560:31:59

Acting Knights and Dames, Richard. Yeah, we're going to show you

0:31:590:32:03

the names of five Dames or Knights who are actors,

0:32:030:32:05

but we've put them in anagram form.

0:32:050:32:07

Can you tell us who they are, please?

0:32:070:32:09

We've left the word Sir or Dame off the anagram.

0:32:090:32:11

OK, let's reveal our acting Dames and Knights, and here they are.

0:32:110:32:15

I'll read those one last time.

0:32:240:32:26

There we are.

0:32:350:32:36

THEY CONFER QUIETLY

0:32:360:32:39

THEY SIGH

0:32:430:32:45

Yeah, we kind of struggled on this round.

0:32:450:32:48

There's only one we could think of and that's Ken Being Sly,

0:32:480:32:52

which is Ben Kingsley.

0:32:520:32:54

Ben Kingsley, say Jack and Shahan. Ben Kingsley.

0:32:540:32:57

Now, Ricky and Craig, do you fancy having a shot at all the other ones,

0:32:570:33:01

see how many you can get? Probably not a shot at all of them.

0:33:010:33:04

But the first one, we think is Maggie Smith.

0:33:040:33:07

We can't think of any of the others. You're going to go for Maggie Smith.

0:33:070:33:10

We're going to go with that. So we have Ben Kingsley,

0:33:100:33:12

and we have Maggie Smith. Jack and Shahan went Ben Kingsley.

0:33:120:33:15

Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people got it.

0:33:150:33:18

APPLAUSE 32.

0:33:260:33:29

32 for Ben Kingsley.

0:33:290:33:32

Ricky and Craig, meanwhile, have gone for Maggie Smith

0:33:320:33:34

for Hammiest Gig.

0:33:340:33:35

Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.

0:33:350:33:38

It's right.

0:33:400:33:41

Oh, and it wins it.

0:33:440:33:46

By a margin. Look at that. 7 for Maggie Smith.

0:33:460:33:49

Very, very well done. APPLAUSE

0:33:490:33:51

That means, Ricky and Craig, after only two questions,

0:33:510:33:54

you're straight through to the final 2-0.

0:33:540:33:56

Yeah, Ben Kingsley, the biggest scorer up there, actually. Wow.

0:33:560:34:00

Have you got C? No, I haven't.

0:34:000:34:03

C is Michael Caine. Right.

0:34:030:34:05

Would have scored you 17.

0:34:050:34:06

Well, we'll go for the bottom one.

0:34:060:34:08

Thora Hird. Dame Thora Hird.

0:34:080:34:09

Of course it is. 15 points for that.

0:34:090:34:12

And have you got this fourth one?

0:34:120:34:15

I'll tell you now, it's a pointless answer.

0:34:150:34:17

Very well done at home if you said Dame Kristin Scott Thomas.

0:34:170:34:21

Oh, of course it is.

0:34:210:34:23

You think being long, it'd be easier.

0:34:230:34:25

No, they're hard because it's too many letters,

0:34:250:34:27

you can't get little patterns and things.

0:34:270:34:29

Very well done if you said that at home. Thanks very much.

0:34:290:34:31

I'm afraid the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round

0:34:310:34:34

is Jack and Shahan. I'm so sorry.

0:34:340:34:36

Nothing wrong with either of your answers there.

0:34:360:34:38

Maisie Williams so nearly won you that first question.

0:34:380:34:41

Anyway, the good news is you'll be back next time.

0:34:410:34:43

We look forward to that very much indeed.

0:34:430:34:45

But, in the meantime, thanks very much, Jack and Shahan.

0:34:450:34:47

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:34:470:34:51

But for Ricky and Craig, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:34:510:34:54

Congratulations, Ricky and Craig. You've seen off all the competition

0:34:580:35:01

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:35:010:35:04

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

0:35:100:35:12

At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at ?2,000.

0:35:120:35:15

There it is.

0:35:150:35:17

APPLAUSE

0:35:170:35:20

Well, well done. There's no argument.

0:35:200:35:22

Sometimes people, it's a bit of a fluke, they get into the

0:35:220:35:24

head-to-head and sort of walk backwards into the final.

0:35:240:35:26

Not this time. You've been in the head-to-head twice.

0:35:260:35:29

No accident there.

0:35:290:35:30

You've done very well on both shows you've been on.

0:35:300:35:33

2-0 in the head-to-head this last time. No arguing with that.

0:35:330:35:36

Always an impressive score.

0:35:360:35:38

Usually bodes quite well for this round,

0:35:380:35:40

obviously pending a category you like the look of.

0:35:400:35:43

What do you want to see up there today?

0:35:430:35:45

Anything entertainment related - movies, music.

0:35:450:35:47

About Su Pollard. LAUGHTER

0:35:470:35:50

Oh, we're always... We've had her on that board.

0:35:500:35:52

I'm afraid she just went.

0:35:520:35:54

A number of times. Yeah. Yeah. OK. Best of luck.

0:35:540:35:56

Let's see what today's choices look like. We have got...

0:35:560:36:00

Mm. House of Lords.

0:36:100:36:11

I think that the House of Lords would be one.

0:36:110:36:13

Craig knows his politics. So does Ricky.

0:36:130:36:16

The number 12 in film, you know, we like our movies.

0:36:160:36:19

Rugby wouldn't be a good one for us,

0:36:190:36:20

and the singer-songwriters, we might have a bit of luck with that one.

0:36:200:36:24

So... What one do you want, then?

0:36:240:36:26

Shall we just...? Shall we go with the House of Lords first?

0:36:260:36:29

I think we should just give it a crack, yeah. OK.

0:36:290:36:32

House of Lords. Rich. Good for you, gents.

0:36:320:36:34

We've got three questions here. I hope one of these suits you.

0:36:340:36:37

We are looking for any of the following, please.

0:36:370:36:39

We're looking for the name of any bishop who sits in

0:36:390:36:42

the House of Lords as of July 2015,

0:36:420:36:43

either their title or their name, whichever you prefer.

0:36:430:36:47

We're looking for anyone who has been an MP who is now

0:36:470:36:49

a Labour peer, an official Labour peer in the House of Lords,

0:36:490:36:53

again, as of July 2015.

0:36:530:36:55

They must be representing the Labour Party in the Lords.

0:36:550:36:57

Or any former MP who is now a Conservative peer in the

0:36:570:37:00

House of Lords. Again, title is acceptable, or their full name.

0:37:000:37:04

So any bishops, any Labour peers who are former MPs or any Tory peers

0:37:040:37:07

who are former MPs, sitting in the House of Lords in July 2015.

0:37:070:37:12

Very best of luck. OK. Now, as always,

0:37:120:37:14

you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.

0:37:140:37:16

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

0:37:160:37:19

to be pointless. Are you ready? Yes.

0:37:190:37:22

OK. Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

0:37:220:37:26

There they are. You time starts now.

0:37:260:37:28

Neil Kinnock would be an obvious one

0:37:280:37:30

from the Labour perspective. Yes, absolutely.

0:37:300:37:32

I'm struggling to think of any Conservative ones. I know,

0:37:320:37:34

I was really hoping it was going to be Lib Dems. Is...?

0:37:340:37:37

I keep thinking Floella Benjamin, for some reason.

0:37:370:37:39

She's Lib Dem, definitely. Oh, OK.

0:37:390:37:41

The Archbishop of Canterbury.

0:37:410:37:43

I mean, that's not going to be pointless.

0:37:430:37:45

But I have no idea if he's even in the House of Lords.

0:37:450:37:48

I'm thinking this was probably not the best topic to pick. Oh, my God.

0:37:480:37:50

Conservative peers. Erm... I just can't...

0:37:500:37:54

I'm really struggling. I thought I'd be able to think of more.

0:37:540:37:57

Is there one who's in the paper this week? What's his name? Lord Sewer?

0:37:570:38:00

Lord Sewel. Lord Sewel.

0:38:000:38:01

What's his first name? I don't think we need to know

0:38:010:38:03

their first name. But Lord Sewel,

0:38:030:38:05

Neil Kinnock. Neil Kinnock.

0:38:050:38:07

Is Glenys Kinnock a peer as well?

0:38:070:38:08

I don't know. I'm not sure.

0:38:080:38:11

I think we should probably think of her. Yes.

0:38:110:38:14

I'm just thinking of bishops. I just can't think of any.

0:38:140:38:16

10 seconds left.

0:38:160:38:18

I'm totally, totally out of ideas.

0:38:180:38:20

No, I'm a bit stumped. I thought we'd know more.

0:38:200:38:23

OK, we'll say those three, then. Yeah, OK.

0:38:230:38:25

OK, your time is up. Let's have your three answers.

0:38:270:38:29

What are you going to go for? OK. We're going to go with

0:38:290:38:31

the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Archbishop of Canterbury. OK.

0:38:310:38:34

Neil Kinnock. Neil Kinnock.

0:38:340:38:35

And Glenys Kinnock. And Glenys Kinnock.

0:38:350:38:37

OK. Of those three, your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:370:38:40

Glenys Kinnock? Glenys Kinnock goes last. Least likely to be pointless?

0:38:400:38:43

Archbishop of Canterbury. Archbishop of Canterbury. We've got

0:38:430:38:46

Neil Kinnock in the middle. OK. Well, let's put those answers

0:38:460:38:48

on the board in that order, then, and here they are.

0:38:480:38:50

Well, very best of luck. Three answers on the board.

0:38:550:38:57

What if one of those turned out to be pointless - you never know -

0:38:570:39:01

what would you do with your prize money?

0:39:010:39:03

Two grand, it's quite a nice jackpot to be taking home. Ricky?

0:39:030:39:05

I could do with a new kitchen in my flat

0:39:050:39:08

so I think it would go towards that. Craig?

0:39:080:39:10

I would probably spend it on treats for my cats.

0:39:100:39:14

LAUGHTER They're very spoiled.

0:39:140:39:16

Lucky cats.

0:39:160:39:18

OK. Well, the Archbishop of Canterbury was your first answer.

0:39:180:39:20

In this case we were looking for bishops sitting in

0:39:200:39:22

the House of Lords. Let's find out if it's right,

0:39:220:39:25

and if it is pointless, it will win you ?2,000.

0:39:250:39:27

How many people said the Archbishop of Canterbury?

0:39:270:39:30

Well, it's right. Hey.

0:39:330:39:34

Well, all it has to do now is go down to 0,

0:39:360:39:37

and you can leave here with ?2,000.

0:39:370:39:39

Down we go through the 30s, into the 20s, into the teens.

0:39:390:39:43

11.

0:39:430:39:44

APPLAUSE I'm amazed!

0:39:440:39:46

A lot of people didn't get that.

0:39:460:39:48

The most senior figure in the Anglican Church.

0:39:480:39:51

There we are, scores 11. OK.

0:39:510:39:53

Not a pointless answer, therefore.

0:39:530:39:55

Let's find out. Your next answer was Neil Kinnock.

0:39:550:39:58

In this case, we were looking for Labour peers who are ex-MPs.

0:39:580:40:00

It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.

0:40:000:40:02

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Neil Kinnock, for ?2,000.

0:40:020:40:06

Well, it's right.

0:40:100:40:11

Your first answer, the Archbishop of Canterbury, took us down to 11.

0:40:110:40:15

Neil Kinnock now taking us down through the teens, into single...

0:40:150:40:19

Not quite into single figures.

0:40:190:40:21

APPLAUSE 10.

0:40:210:40:25

Hey, look. We are moving in the right direction.

0:40:250:40:27

We've gone from 11 down to 10. This is good.

0:40:270:40:30

Your third and final answer was Glenys Kinnock.

0:40:300:40:32

We have to find out if it's right,

0:40:320:40:34

then we have to find out if it's pointless.

0:40:340:40:36

If it's both of those things, you'll leave here with ?2,000.

0:40:360:40:38

How many of our 100 people named Glenys Kinnock as a Labour peer?

0:40:380:40:42

No. Bad luck.

0:40:460:40:48

Bad luck, Ricky and Craig. I'm sorry.

0:40:480:40:51

That was a tough board. Yeah. That was a really tough board.

0:40:510:40:53

But it was punchy to go for the House of Lords.

0:40:530:40:56

And, who knows? There might have been...

0:40:560:40:57

You thought if it had been Lib Dems, you'd have been on safer ground.

0:40:570:41:00

Well, we were floating Floella Benjamin.

0:41:000:41:02

Yeah. Baroness Benjamin. Baroness Benjamin, yeah.

0:41:020:41:05

Well, I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that all-important

0:41:050:41:07

pointless answer, so you don't win today's jackpot of ?2,000.

0:41:070:41:10

That will roll over on to the next show.

0:41:100:41:12

But it's been great having you on both shows.

0:41:120:41:14

And, as I said, a strong performance across both.

0:41:140:41:16

And you get a Pointless trophy. Very, very well done. Exactly.

0:41:160:41:18

Yeah. Thank you. Ricky and Craig.

0:41:180:41:20

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:41:200:41:23

Yeah, terrific performance.

0:41:260:41:27

Head-to-head last time, jackpot round this time.

0:41:270:41:29

I think a slight change of tactics could have won you the money here.

0:41:290:41:32

Glenys Kinnock, same as Floella Benjamin,

0:41:320:41:34

wasn't an MP, so doesn't count, I'm afraid.

0:41:340:41:38

Now, the bishops.

0:41:380:41:39

This is one of those rounds where you'd have won ?2,000

0:41:390:41:42

just for telling us where you live,

0:41:420:41:43

because let's take a look at the pointless answers.

0:41:430:41:46

You could have had the Bishop of Birmingham, Bishop of Bristol,

0:41:500:41:53

Bishop of Carlisle, Bishop of Chelmsford,

0:41:530:41:55

Bishop of Chester, Bishop of Derby, Bishop of Ely,

0:41:550:41:57

Bishop of Leeds, Bishop of Leicester, Bishop of Lichfield,

0:41:570:42:00

Bishop of Norwich, Bishop of Peterborough,

0:42:000:42:03

Bishop of Portsmouth, Bishop of Rochester,

0:42:030:42:05

Bishop of Sheffield, Bishop of St Albans,

0:42:050:42:07

Bishop of Truro, and Bishop of Worcester.

0:42:070:42:09

All of those are pointless answers.

0:42:090:42:11

Have you ever said the word "bishop" too often?

0:42:110:42:13

Now, Labour peers. There's some big names on this list.

0:42:130:42:17

Let's take a look at a few of them.

0:42:170:42:19

In fact, every single Labour peer who's been an MP other than

0:42:230:42:26

John Prescott, Neil Kinnock and Roy Hattersley,

0:42:260:42:29

everybody else is a pointless answer. Lots of big names.

0:42:290:42:31

Jack Cunningham, Paul Boateng, George Robertson, Alf Dubs.

0:42:310:42:34

All sorts of names there.

0:42:340:42:35

And the Conservative peers, again, some very big names here.

0:42:350:42:38

Bigger names, really.

0:42:380:42:40

Everybody there apart from Norman Tebbit, Michael Heseltine,

0:42:440:42:47

Nigel Lawson, Sebastian Coe, and Douglas Hurd.

0:42:470:42:49

Every other ex-Tory MP who is now in the House of Lords

0:42:490:42:52

was a pointless answer.

0:42:520:42:53

Very well done if you got any of those at home,

0:42:530:42:55

and tough luck in the studio.

0:42:550:42:57

Thanks so much, Richard.

0:42:570:42:58

Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you, Ricky and Craig.

0:42:580:43:01

It's been wonderful having you on the show.

0:43:010:43:03

Thank you so much for playing. Ricky and Craig. Thank you.

0:43:030:43:05

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:43:050:43:08

Well, Ricky and Craig didn't win our jackpot today, which means

0:43:080:43:11

it rolls over on to the next show, when we'll be playing for ?3,000.

0:43:110:43:14

Join us then to see if someone can win it.

0:43:140:43:16

Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard... Goodbye.

0:43:160:43:18

..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
