0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32APPLAUSE
0:00:32 > 0:00:36- Couple number one. - Hi, Alexander, I'm Eamann
0:00:36 > 0:00:39and this is my work colleague Gary. We're from Banbury.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Matt, this is my beautiful wife, Claire,
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- and we're from Lincolnshire. - Couple number three..
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Alice, this is my twin sister, Emily,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49and we're from Ipswich.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Jess, this is my mum, Linda, and we're from Lancashire.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56These are today's contestants.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58APPLAUSE
0:00:58 > 0:01:00A warm welcome to all of you.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02We'll find out more about you through the show as it goes along.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07If it looks like an answer, smells like an answer
0:01:07 > 0:01:09and tastes like an answer, he'll eat it.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11It's my Pointless friend Richard.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Hiya, Hi, everybody.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15APPLAUSE
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Good afternoon to you.- And to you. - How are you?- I'm very well.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Excellent. We have two returning pairs from the last show,
0:01:20 > 0:01:24had very different shows. On podium three, we've got Emily and Alice.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27One of them goes to Cambridge, one of them goes to Imperial.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Super, super bright.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- And got knocked out in Round One. - LAUGHTER
0:01:32 > 0:01:35One of them couldn't name a president. But that's fine.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Today is another day.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39And on podium four, we have Linda and Jess,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41who got all the through to the head-to-head.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42And since the last show,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45I've eaten some of the lovely cakes Linda brought in.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Ah, Linda's cakes! - I say some of them - ALL of them.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- They were delicious.- I'm literally here on the back of a flapjack.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56I tell you what Linda does with a flapjack, apart from alchemy -
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- coconut.- Yes, amazing.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- Did you have those, are they lemon and blueberry?- Don't!
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- I'm saving those up.- They're very good. Is it lemon and blueberry?
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- Lemon and blueberry drizzle, yeah. - There you go. It's gorgeous.- Mmm!
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Thank you very much indeed.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Now, Laura and Jerry didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:18 > 0:02:19which is a great shame for them.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Our hearts go out, but we add another £1,000 to it,
0:02:22 > 0:02:26so today's jackpot starts off at £4,000. There we are.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:29 > 0:02:31If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33APPLAUSE
0:02:36 > 0:02:38You don't need to be reminded of this, of course,
0:02:38 > 0:02:40but I'm going to say it nonetheless.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44The pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:44 > 0:02:46will be eliminated. That's all you have to remember.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Just keep your scores low. Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Shakespeare. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first,
0:02:56 > 0:03:00who's going second. Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05OK, the question concerns...
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Titles derived from quotes from Shakespeare. Richard.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13On each board, we'll show you the names
0:03:13 > 0:03:14of seven literary or theatrical works
0:03:14 > 0:03:17whose titles derive from Shakespeare quotations
0:03:17 > 0:03:19but we've missed out the last word in each one.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Can you fill in that word, please?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at home. Best of luck.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Thanks. Let's reveal our first board of seven. Here they come.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I'll read those one last time.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Gary, a warm welcome to you, here from Banbury.- Thank you.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13What keeps you busy up in Banbury?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I am a youth worker for the church which we go to -
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Banbury Community Church.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20I spend a lot time working with our young people.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I have a youth club, a few other bits we do during the week.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- So what day off do you get in a week?- Interestingly...- Yes.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Interestingly, I have to take a day off separately,
0:04:30 > 0:04:33so I have a day off on a Tuesday, slightly less than average,
0:04:33 > 0:04:34but I take a day off on a Tuesday.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37I make sure it's my family time, spend some time with the kid.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- I've got a son who's six months old. - Congratulations.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- And then Sunday is busy, busy. - Yeah, I bet it is.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Sunday probably double work. Excellent.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Now, Gary, which of these titles do you want to go for and fill in?
0:04:48 > 0:04:52OK, so I know that this is quite recent
0:04:52 > 0:04:56and so, therefore, might be a high scorer,
0:04:56 > 0:05:00but I'm going to go with John Green, The fault In Our Stars.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03The Fault In Our Stars, says Gary. Let's see if that's right
0:05:03 > 0:05:05and how many people said The fault In Our Stars.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09It's right.
0:05:10 > 0:05:1353. APPLAUSE
0:05:13 > 0:05:15We'll discover how good a score that is
0:05:15 > 0:05:18as the round goes on. But 53 seems good enough to get us going.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Yeah, "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars." Julius Caesar.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25It's amazing that all of these do come from Shakespeare, isn't it?
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Mmm, isn't it? Thank you very much, Richard.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Claire, welcome to the show. Great to have you here. What do you do?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35I'm a teaching assistant in a secondary school.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38And how long have you been at your current school?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- Been there nine years now. - Wow, very good.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43What are your hobbies when you're not teaching?
0:05:43 > 0:05:48- I've got three children, so hobbies are sort of...- Child-based.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Most of the time, yeah, but I do like to cook
0:05:51 > 0:05:55- and get out and do some gardening when I can.- Very good.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58OK, Claire, what do you want to go for on this board?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Possibly not the best category for me.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06I'm going to go with... John Steinbeck
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- and the Winter Of Our Discontent. - Discontent, says Claire.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:06:18 > 0:06:2154. APPLAUSE
0:06:21 > 0:06:23A very good grouping, I have to say.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Bit of a relief for Gary there. No longer the high-scorer.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29The opening line of Richard III, spoken by Richard III.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- "Now is the winter of our discontent."- There we go.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Thank you, Richard. Emily, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Now, Round One, as the big man said. Round One last time.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41We are going to see much more of you this time, aren't we, Emily?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Unfortunately, this isn't the best category for me.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- Remind us what you do, Emily. - I'm a student at Cambridge.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- What are you studying?- Philosophy. - I see.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Did you do English for A level?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- No! I did sciences and maths.- I see.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- So you've come to philosophy through science.- Mmm-hmm.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- Not through the arts.- No!- OK.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06- And Shakespeare hasn't really caught your interest?- I'm afraid not, no.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- OK.- I'll try my best.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Unfortunately, there was one that I knew on the board
0:07:12 > 0:07:14but Gary got in there first,
0:07:14 > 0:07:20so I'm going to guess The Darling Buds Of May?
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Darling Buds Of May, says Emily, shakily.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Let's see if it's right, The Darling Buds Of May.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31It is right.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- 93, Emily. - I thought I'd heard of it.- 93.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- I think you got off lightly there. - Yeah.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- 93.- Yeah, "Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May."
0:07:40 > 0:07:45- 93 points is a big score, isn't it? - That's impressive though. Good.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48That probably owes as much to David Jason as it does to the sonnet.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Yeah, I think a lot of people are getting these
0:07:50 > 0:07:53through the programmes and films, rather than the Shakespeare.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- Yeah, but still, good.- Yeah. - Darling Buds Of May.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Now, Jess, a very warm welcome back. - Thank you.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Great to have you with us again. Remind us about yourself, Jess.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- What do you do?- I work in a clothing department in a supermarket.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12I also have a four-year-old son and I recently got married as well.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17Many congratulations on all of those. And for fun, what do you do?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Amateur dramatics.- Oh, yes.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24And I'm also very...into Harry Potter,
0:08:24 > 0:08:29- so a lot of watching films, reading books.- See, that's fun.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Jess, this board is all yours.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33If you fancy it, go through it and fill in all the blanks.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Um, I'm not sure I can but I'll give it a go.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Where Eagles...
0:08:39 > 0:08:44I want to say "Lie" or "Fly", so I'm not going for that one.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47I don't know The Sound And The...
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Kiss Me, Kate
0:08:49 > 0:08:53and Infinite Wisdom, possibly.
0:08:53 > 0:08:59- So, I'm going to go for Kiss Me, Kate.- Kiss Me, Kate.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Yes.- OK. Kiss Me, Kate. I think that's right.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Where Eagles Fly, I think is Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes
0:09:05 > 0:09:07but we'll see. Kiss Me, Kate.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Let's see how many of our 100 people said Kate.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Ooh, it's not bad. 62.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Not bad at all.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20APPLAUSE
0:09:20 > 0:09:22From The Taming Of The Shrew.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- A lot of big answers on this board. Where Eagles...?- Dare.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Where Eagles Dare. That's from Richard III as well.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31The other two are the low-scorers. The Sound And The...?
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- Fury.- Fury. William Faulkner.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37And Hamlet describes Yorick as a man of "infinite jest".
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- I was going to say "infinite variety".- Infinite Jest.
0:09:40 > 0:09:421 point for that, so well done if you said that.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45OK, we're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49It wasn't a low-scoring round, let's be plain about that.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51But 53 was the best score. Well done, Gary and Eamann.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Looking pretty strong. Then 54, Claire and Matt.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Not bad at all. 62 for Jess and Linda on the far podium.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Now, 93, Emily and Alice. We need to have a chat about this.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05It was Round One last time. Alice, everything is now on your shoulders.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Oh, dear.- We need a low score from you. You'll be answering second,
0:10:08 > 0:10:12so there should be plenty on that board for you to choose from.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14We can't send you home at the end of this first round.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I'm not going to stand for that.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Let's put seven more titles up on the board and here they come.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I'll read those one last time.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- Linda, welcome back.- Thank you. - In fact, double welcome back.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Mmm. Linda, of the flapjacks
0:11:15 > 0:11:18and the lemon and blueberry drizzle cake.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Mmm. Linda, I need hardly ask what you do.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24I spend my time baking quite a bit.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28What is the secret of that lovely light sponge, Linda?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I don't know. Ground almonds, I think.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- You put ground almonds in?- Mmm. - Along with the flour or...?
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Yes, a special flour that's specially made for sponges.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- It's very light.- Ooh. Why didn't I know about special flour?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- Giving away my secrets.- I know. Special sponge flour.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Now, Linda, you're on 62. Not bad.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Jess has left you in a good state there.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54If you can score 30 or less, you're definitely in the next round.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- You were head-to-head last time. - We were.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59We have to see you in the head-to-head at least this time.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03This IS my subject and I know all the answers
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- but it's a question of picking the right one, isn't it?- Mmm.
0:12:07 > 0:12:14I will go for...By The Pricking Of My Thumbs, please.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18By The Pricking Of My Thumbs, says Linda.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21There is your red line. Get below that with Thumbs
0:12:21 > 0:12:23and you are into the next round.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25How many of our 100 people said Thumbs?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29It's right.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Very well done indeed. 23.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Hats off to you, Linda. APPLAUSE
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- That takes your total up to 85. Superb.- Well played, Linda.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Great answer. From Macbeth, that.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Do you know the line that follows that?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48"By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes."
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- Thank you, Richard. Alice.- Hello. - Alice, Alice, Alice.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55You are still the high-scorers here.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Before we get into that, remind us what you do.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01I study material science and engineering at Imperial.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- Material science is literally material?- Yeah.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05It's the science of making up materials.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08What are your interests outside that?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Um, I have a pug, which I love.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13How old is your pug?
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- He's two, nearly, yeah. - Well behaved?- Yeah.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22Some pugs... All pugs are lovely, that goes without saying.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Some pugs you can hear from a long way away, just from their breathing.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- You can hear Gus wherever he is. - Gus, wherever he is.- Yeah.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30- Even when he's asleep.- Yeah.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- Does that bother you at all? - No, it's fantastic.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I hate it when I go to uni and the pug is not there making the noises.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38So you can't take the pug to uni?
0:13:38 > 0:13:43- No, he stays in Suffolk and I go to London.- Wow.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45It's really miserable.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- So how do you keep in touch with Gus?- On FaceTime.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Phew! Phew, phew.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52OK, now, Alice, you know what you have to do.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54We have to have a low score from you here.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57I don't really know any of them.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00There's two I would guess at,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03so I'm going to guess at one of those.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05I think my dad might have this on his shelf.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Oh, wait, these are books not DVDs.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Oh, well, I'm going to go with The Dogs Of War.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- The Dogs Of War.- Yeah.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- Maybe.- OK, The Dogs Of War.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17No red line for you as you are the high-scorers.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Dogs Of War.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- It's right.- Yes!
0:14:27 > 0:14:3054 for The Dogs Of War, pleasingly rhyming.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33It's taken your total up to 147.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Mark Antony says, "Cry, 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war."
0:14:36 > 0:14:39The original dogs of war, in the play, were four pugs.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Four pugs and a little fox terrier. - LAUGHTER
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- That's great.- That's right! - They formed a gang.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47But the fox terrier in charge.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- Very much the general. - So, Matt, welcome.- Thank you.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Very good to have you here. What do you do, Matt?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56I'm a network manager at a secondary school,
0:14:56 > 0:14:59so I run all the computer systems and everything that runs on them.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- Did you and Claire meet through schools?- Yes.
0:15:01 > 0:15:07I started a job at the school Claire was at and within three months,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10she'd spotted me, she'd got me clocked, got my number.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- She's a predator.- How many times did you have to say, "Look, Claire,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- "it's control, alt, delete"?- Yeah! - "Or just turn it off and on again.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18"You can't keep calling me in like this."
0:15:18 > 0:15:20There were a lot of times she had IT issues
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- and I had to come by the office. - I bet she did!
0:15:22 > 0:15:25So, Matt, what do you when you're not...?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- You have three children.- Yes. I like my photography
0:15:27 > 0:15:30and I like to home brew wine.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Do you brew wine?
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Yeah, a lot of sugar, bit of water, bit of yeast
0:15:36 > 0:15:37and whatever fruit is to hand.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39What have you got on the brew at the moment?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42There's three demijohns of elderflower on the go.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- Nice.- That's just been flowering. And a demijohn of rhubarb as well.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49And, Claire, is it drinkable?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Oh, yeah. You have to be a bit careful, though,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- cos it is a bit too drinkable at times.- Oh, really?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Yeah.- I see. OK. Now, Matt, you're on 54.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01High-scorers on 147 are Alice and Emily.
0:16:01 > 0:16:0392 or less gets you through.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06I'm both pleased and vexed that I did know both those two,
0:16:06 > 0:16:08so I do know something.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12I definitely know the top one and I think I know the second one,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- so it's how brave I'm feeling. - Which one's it going to be, Matt?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17I'm going to be brave and say
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Dead, says Matt. Dead. Here is your red line.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Get below that with Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead,
0:16:27 > 0:16:28you're into Round Two.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Absolutely right. Very well done indeed.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37There we are.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40APPLAUSE Second lowest score of the round.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- 78 is your total.- Well played.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- If you haven't seen Hamlet, that IS a spoiler.- Yes.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49LAUGHTER
0:16:49 > 0:16:54- Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Eamann.- Yes.- Welcome.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Thank you.- You are from Banbury.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Yeah, I didn't grow up there though.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Initially from, I'm guessing, Northern Ireland.- Yes.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- Whereabouts did you grow up? - Belfast.- Right.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05When did you move to Banbury?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I moved over here about five years ago.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- And how are you enjoying Banbury? - I quite like Banbury, I really do.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13It's kind of the centre of the universe, isn't it?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15It's beautiful, yeah. Very, very beautiful.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17And what do you do, Eamann?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20I'm the church coordinator for the same church that Gary works at.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23I see. So, the coordination aspect of that involves what?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26It's the behind-the-scenes stuff - running the events,
0:17:26 > 0:17:27doing the notice sheet, making cups of tea,
0:17:27 > 0:17:30but also I'm the accountant for the church
0:17:30 > 0:17:32and there's a bit of a pastoral side to it as well.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- But dealing with the friends in your community.- Yeah.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39There we are. Eamann, you are the last person to go,
0:17:39 > 0:17:41which means you can have as much fun as you like.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43What are you going to go for on this board?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46I'm frantically, like everybody else, probably, at home as well,
0:17:46 > 0:17:49trying to frantically go through the book that we did at GCSE,
0:17:49 > 0:17:51and it was Julius Caesar,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53so it doesn't really help me out too much for this.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56A Brave New World, I think, is the Aldous Huxley.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Under The Greenwood Tree comes to mind.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Cakes And Biscuits, could be, I don't know.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04And the bottom one, I think, is Pale Rider.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07I think I'm going to play it safe and go Brave New World.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Brave New World, says Eamann.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12You want to be scoring 93 or less, which is a familiar target.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15A few people have had that as their target. There's your red line.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Let's see how far down the column you get with Brave New World.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Very well done. You are through. APPLAUSE
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Not by that much but 78 does it for you.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Takes your total up to 131.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- Yeah, our 100 did very well on these two boards.- They did.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Well done them. Some big scorers there.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35You were right about Under The Greenwood Tree.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Would have scored you 38.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43- Cakes And...?- Ale.- Cakes And Ale. That's from Twelfth Night.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Would have scored you 12.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- And the best answer on the board... - Pale Fire.- Pale Fire,
0:18:47 > 0:18:51describing the moon. Would have scored you 3 points.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55At the end of our first round, the pair heading home
0:18:55 > 0:18:58with their high score of 147 is Alice and Emily. I'm so sorry.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- It is you both times. - It's been really fun.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- At least I got one right today! - Lovely having you on the show.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Far too short each time, but thanks for playing. Alice and Emily.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Thank you.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11APPLAUSE
0:19:11 > 0:19:14For the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16APPLAUSE
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Very well done, everyone. You've made it through to Round Two.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Welcome to Round Two. One of our pairs has disappeared.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26This is what happens, I'm afraid. It's a great shame.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28At the end of this round,
0:19:28 > 0:19:31another pair will be taken out and released into the community.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33LAUGHTER
0:19:33 > 0:19:34I have one commendation to hand out
0:19:34 > 0:19:38and that is to Linda for...using coconut in a flapjack.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Who would have thought how delicious that would be?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44And lowest scorer as well. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:19:49 > 0:19:50Action Stars.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Let's find out what the question is.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Actors in The Expendables films. Richard.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12I figured we'd done Shakespeare,
0:20:12 > 0:20:15so this would be a logical step on from that.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18We're looking for any actor who's received an acting credit
0:20:18 > 0:20:21in The Expendables, Expendables 2 or Expendables 3, please,
0:20:21 > 0:20:23according to IMDb. Best of luck.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Thanks very much indeed. The Expendables.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31- Gary, is it a series you've been watching?- It's not.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34It's a film series which I'm aware of
0:20:34 > 0:20:38and I expect there are probably many lower answers
0:20:38 > 0:20:39than one I'll be able to give.
0:20:39 > 0:20:44Unfortunately, I can't think of one less obvious than this,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47so I'm going to say... I'm going to say Ben Stiller.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Ben Stiller, says Gary. Ben Stiller.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59No, I'm afraid no Ben Stiller in The Expendables.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03- That scores you 100 points. - Yeah, sorry, Gary.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05It might be a different film series you're thinking of.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- Or maybe it isn't. - LAUGHTER
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Maybe it's the same one but you just thought Ben Stiller was in it.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- But something's happened. - LAUGHTER
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Mmm, Claire.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19We're looking for any cast member of The Expendables.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21I've seen the first one.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25And I've seen snippets of the next two.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27OK, this sounds like an excuse, Claire.
0:21:27 > 0:21:34Yeah, it almost is, yeah, yeah. I can't... I've got his name.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- How I would say it is Jason Statham. - Jason Statham.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- I think that's pretty much exactly how you say it.- Is that it?
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- That's OK then! - Jason Statham, says Claire.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jason Statham.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Oh.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56That's an excellent answer. 21. Very well done.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58APPLAUSE
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Well done, Claire.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Jason Statham plays Lee Christmas in all three of the films.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Excellent. Lee Christmas. Now, Jess.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- Jess, have you seen The Expendables franchise?- No.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14I'm going to make a confession. Nor have I. Nor have I.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- I'm feeling my way blind, here. - Yeah.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I thought Ben Stiller was excellent in it.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22LAUGHTER
0:22:22 > 0:22:26OK, it could be this film, it might not be.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29George Clooney.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- George Clooney, says Jess.- Yeah.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Let's find out. You got something a bit like a nod from Claire
0:22:34 > 0:22:37but I might be wrong. She might just have been testing
0:22:37 > 0:22:39a crick in her neck. George Clooney.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48No. Not George Clooney, I'm afraid,
0:22:48 > 0:22:50which means you also score 100 points.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52But you're in very good company.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55I love the fact that you don't know either way.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57- This must be quite exciting for you. - Very!
0:22:57 > 0:23:00I'd love to see a film with George Clooney, Ben Stiller
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- and Jason Statham in. That's a good cast.- It is good.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06We're doing that job for them here, essentially.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Only two between the three pairs.
0:23:10 > 0:23:1321, the low score. Claire, well done. Matt. Claire, looking strong.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Then Jess and Linda, Gary and Eamann,
0:23:16 > 0:23:19all on 100 points there, so it's going to be Eamann versus Linda.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Best of luck to both of you.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Now then, Linda. We're looking for the name of any actor
0:23:30 > 0:23:33who has appeared in The Expendables film series.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Is this going to be a guess? - Oh, yes.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38It's a shame we haven't had two correct answers
0:23:38 > 0:23:40cos then you could triangulate better, couldn't you?
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- Jason Statham was my answer.- Ah.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47But I will go for Arnold Schwarzenegger.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Arnold Schwarzenegger, says Linda.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53No red line for you, as you are joint high-scorers.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55How many people said Arnold Schwarzenegger?
0:23:58 > 0:23:59It's right.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Good answer. 36 for Arnie.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06APPLAUSE 136 is your total.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Well played, Linda. He's in all three as well.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11He's not credited in the first one, actually,
0:24:11 > 0:24:13but he is in the other two. Plays Trench.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17He was talking about the secret to his incredible muscle mass.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- Do you know what he said it was? - What?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- Coconut in his flapjacks. - LAUGHTER
0:24:21 > 0:24:22Yes...
0:24:22 > 0:24:25It would be. Is he using fresh
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- or desiccated, I wonder? - He uses desiccated
0:24:29 > 0:24:32but his little secret is he mixes it with ground almonds.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Thanks very much indeed.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Now, Matt.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Um, yeah, I've seen the first two and beyond that,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I have a deep and abiding love for '80s action movies
0:24:41 > 0:24:44and that is all of them getting back together to have fun,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46I think, on someone else's ticket.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I'm going to go with the Muscles from Brussels,
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- Jean-Claude Van Damme. - Jean-Claude Van Damme, says Matt.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52No red line, as you're already through.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Let's see how many people went for Jean-Claude Van Damme.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59It's right.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Claire scored 21. Will you get down there?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Oh, you pass Claire.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Look at that. 7 for Jean-Claude Van Damme.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08APPLAUSE
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Very well done indeed. 28.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Well played, Matt. Yeah, Jean-Claude Van Damme.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15He plays the baddie in number two.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- He's called Jean Vilain, rather cryptically.- Mmm.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Eamann.- Yes.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24We have a contest on our hands here, do we not?
0:25:24 > 0:25:28You have to score 35 or less to stay with us.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- Have you seen any of these films? - I have them in my DVD collection
0:25:30 > 0:25:35- at home but I haven't seen them. - LAUGHTER
0:25:35 > 0:25:38I do have some inklings of people that were in it.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43I think... One answer I'm going to go for is Jackie Chan.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Jackie Chan, says Eamann. There's your red line.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Get below that with Jackie Chan, you are into the head-to-head.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Let's see if Jackie Chan is right
0:25:51 > 0:25:53and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03- Ooh, Eamann...- He's in the fourth one!- I'm afraid...
0:26:03 > 0:26:06I'm afraid Jackie Chan is an incorrect answer,
0:26:06 > 0:26:09which means you score 100 points, which means you and Gary leave us
0:26:09 > 0:26:12at the end of this round, with a high score of 200.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Yeah, I'm sorry, not Jackie Chan in The Expendables, I'm afraid.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17I'll take you through everyone who scored a point
0:26:17 > 0:26:19because there's some interesting names on the list.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Everyone I don't mention was a pointless answer,
0:26:21 > 0:26:23so well done if you got one.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25You'd have got 1 point for Antonio Banderas,
0:26:25 > 0:26:281 point for Lauren Jones, for Ronda Rousey or for Liam Hemsworth.
0:26:28 > 0:26:312 points for Kelsey Grammer.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Charisma Carpenter would have been 2 points.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35You'd have got 2 points for Terry Crews,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Wesley Snipes and Steve Austin.
0:26:37 > 0:26:413 points for Eric Roberts, Harrison Ford, Mickey Rourke.
0:26:41 > 0:26:433 points, as well, for Chuck Norris.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46There's some great names in these films.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48You'd have got 5 for Mel Gibson, 17 for Dolph Lundgren
0:26:48 > 0:26:51and let's look at the top three answers.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Interesting. So, Julie Andrews and Keith Chegwin both pointless?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- Both pointless answers.- There we go. LAUGHTER
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- Well done - you got a double pointless!- Very happy with that.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Thanks very much indeed.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13So, at the end of our second round, the pair heading home,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15with their high score of 200,
0:27:15 > 0:27:18I'm afraid it's Eamann and Gary. That's tough. That really is,
0:27:18 > 0:27:21if it's films you haven't seen. I wouldn't have done any better.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24We'll see you again next time and I'm sure we'll see more of you then.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Thanks very much indeed, Gary and Eamann.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29APPLAUSE
0:27:31 > 0:27:34For the remaining two pairs, it's time for our head-to-head.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36APPLAUSE
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Very well done, Matt and Claire, Linda and Jess.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43You're now one step closer to the final
0:27:43 > 0:27:45and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:27:45 > 0:27:47which currently stands at £4,000.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:27:50 > 0:27:54From this point on, you play as teams and in this round,
0:27:54 > 0:27:56the first player to get two questions
0:27:56 > 0:27:57will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Linda and Jess, you've been here before.
0:27:59 > 0:28:05This time, can you go one better and get through to our final, I wonder?
0:28:05 > 0:28:07We've got Matt and Claire there.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Matt came in with Jean-Claude Van Damme in that last round.
0:28:10 > 0:28:15- Very, very low score. How are you feeling, Matt and Claire?- All right.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19- All right.- Good.- Good. Well, best of luck to both pairs.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23APPLAUSE
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Bands with brothers and sisters. Richard.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36We're going to show you five pictures
0:28:36 > 0:28:38of groups that comprise siblings.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41You just need to tell us the name of the groups. Good luck.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44OK. Let's reveal our five groups and here they come.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15There we go. Five groups made up of brothers and sisters.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Matt and Claire, you're our low-scorers, so you will go first.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23(And C, but everybody knows it. It'll be high-scoring.)
0:29:23 > 0:29:26We know C, but I think everybody knows C.
0:29:27 > 0:29:32The only other one we know, for definite, is A. The Corrs.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35The Corrs, say Matt and Claire. The Corrs, A.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Linda and Jess, the board's all yours. Talk us through it.
0:29:38 > 0:29:44- Um, well, you know C and D, don't you?- Go on.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48C's The Osmonds. D, The Everly Brothers.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52We don't know E, but I do know that B is Cleopatra.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56- Comin' at ya! - LAUGHTER
0:29:56 > 0:30:00That was nice of you to supply that. B, Cleopatra.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03B, Cleopatra. So, we have The Corrs from Matt and Claire, A.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Let's see if that's right and how many people said The Corrs.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09It's right.
0:30:14 > 0:30:1626 for The Corrs.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18APPLAUSE
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Meanwhile, Linda and Jess have gone for B
0:30:22 > 0:30:24and said that that is Cleopatra.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 said Cleopatra.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31It's right.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Has to beat 26.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36It beats 26.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40Oh, look at that! 1 for Cleopatra! Very well done indeed.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43It mans, Linda and Jess, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Well played, Jess, and we are always legally obliged,
0:30:46 > 0:30:48after saying, "Cleopatra", to say, "Comin' at ya."
0:30:48 > 0:30:52It's almost impossible not to. The Higgins sisters in that band.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55C is The Osmonds. It's the reason my name is spelt wrong
0:30:55 > 0:30:57for so many years.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59It's O-S-M-A-N,
0:30:59 > 0:31:03just for the reference of every single utility company out there.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05O-S-M-A-N.
0:31:05 > 0:31:0768. A bigger scorer,
0:31:07 > 0:31:09D, The Everly Brothers. 72 for that.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13And a very low score for E.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Had a couple of these lovely people on the show before.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- We have. Five Star.- Five Star, yeah, and they scored 4.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21- Oh!- That's annoying.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23- Would it have killed them to score 5?- One more person.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Thanks very much indeed. Here comes your second question.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Linda and Jess go first, so you have the advantage with you
0:31:29 > 0:31:31but Matt and Claire, you have to win it to stay in the game.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Best of luck. It concerns...
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- Scientific fields.- We're going to show you five definitions
0:31:39 > 0:31:41of specific fields within science.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44We're then going to give you alternate letters of the answers.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Can you give us the most obscure one, please?
0:31:46 > 0:31:50Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five scientific fields.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15I'll read those one last time.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Linda and Jess will go first.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Number two, we think is thermodynamics.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Thermodynamics, say Linda and Jess. Thermodynamics.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Matt and Claire. Were you about to say that one?
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Yeah, we thought that might be the best one there.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Good, that's reassuring, Linda and Jess.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Matt and Claire, what would you like to go for?
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- Talk us through that board. - From top to bottom -
0:32:58 > 0:33:01and I'm not saying any of these are my answer yet,
0:33:01 > 0:33:03cos we're not sure now - the top one is seismology,
0:33:03 > 0:33:07the third one is optics, the fourth one is geology
0:33:07 > 0:33:10and the scientific study of plant life is botany.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- As to which is going to be the lowest, do you want botany?- Yeah.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15- We'll go far botany. - You're going for botany.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18So, we have thermodynamics and we have botany.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Linda and Jess went for thermodynamics.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Let's see how many people agree with them.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26It's right.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- Ooh.- 58.- Ooh.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Ooh, that could be lower, couldn't it, for comfort?
0:33:35 > 0:33:3758 for thermodynamics.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Matt and Claire have gone for botany at the bottom.
0:33:40 > 0:33:41The study of plant life.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Let's see if that's right and how many people said botany.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49It's right. Ooh, well, there we are.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52That's a bit better, isn't it, Linda and Jess?
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Two good answers but, Linda and Jess, yours is the best,
0:33:55 > 0:33:57which means that, after only two questions,
0:33:57 > 0:34:00you are straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Botany actually the biggest scorer on the board.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05There is one answer that would have won you the point
0:34:05 > 0:34:07- and that is seismology.- Oh! - Just would have won it.
0:34:07 > 0:34:0956 points for that.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13Optics goes up another couple. 60 points.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17And we work our way down the board, going up and up.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Geology would have scored you 80.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22There we are. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head,
0:34:24 > 0:34:26our golden couple, Matt and Claire.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Nothing wrong with either of your answers.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Very good indeed but, Linda and Jess,
0:34:31 > 0:34:34to be there with both Cleopatra - Comin' at ya! -
0:34:34 > 0:34:39and thermodynamics, you cover all bases there, so hats off to you.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42But Matt and Claire, we'll see you again next time
0:34:42 > 0:34:44which is great news for us and we look forward to that.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47- In the meantime, thanks for playing. Matt and Claire.- Thank you.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49APPLAUSE
0:34:49 > 0:34:52For Linda and Jess, now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55APPLAUSE
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Very well done, Linda and Jess. You've seen off all the competition
0:35:00 > 0:35:02and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:10 > 0:35:12and at the end of today's show,
0:35:12 > 0:35:15the jackpot stands at a very respectable £4,000. There we are.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17APPLAUSE
0:35:17 > 0:35:21- Hooray, you've done it! You were head-to-head last time.- Yes.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24You were beaten. Head-to-head this time, not the golden couple,
0:35:24 > 0:35:28so it was against the grain of play. And here you are.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Very strong performance.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Very strong right the way across the show.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:35:34 > 0:35:38- You know what they're like, always faintly impossible.- I don't know.
0:35:38 > 0:35:44- Films, Oscars.- Maybe.- Maybe. Or Shakespeare.- Unlikely.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45- That would be nice. - Bit of geography.
0:35:45 > 0:35:50- We like geography, don't we? - Preston?- Yeah!- Preston.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- That would be nice. - We haven't had that for ages!
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Best of luck. We'll have four up there.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Let's see what today's selection looks like.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08- Wow.- It's not Venus and it's not Opera.
0:36:08 > 0:36:14- I think...Lake District for you. - Well, I can... You've been.
0:36:14 > 0:36:19- I've been, yeah, I've been.- It's going to be The Lake District.- Yes.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21The Lake District. Best of luck.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Let's hope there's something in there you like.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Very best of luck. We are looking for...
0:36:25 > 0:36:29The names of any of the 16 largest lakes in the Lake District,
0:36:29 > 0:36:32the name of any of the ten highest mountains in the Lake District
0:36:32 > 0:36:35or the name of any conservation area in the Lake District.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37So, the 16 largest lakes, the 10 highest mountains,
0:36:37 > 0:36:39any conservation area,
0:36:39 > 0:36:42all according to the Lake District National Park website. Best of luck.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Thanks very much indeed.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46You've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50All you need, to win that jackpot - let's not forget, £4,000 -
0:36:50 > 0:36:53is for just one of your answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:36:53 > 0:36:57- Yes.- Yes.- Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. Your time starts now.
0:36:59 > 0:37:04The only ones I know... Lakes - Windermere, Coniston, Ullswater?
0:37:04 > 0:37:08- Ullswater. Derwentwater.- Good one. - Borrowdale. Is Borrowdale...?
0:37:08 > 0:37:13- Are they large enough to be the largest 16?- I don't know.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17And highest mountains, I know Catbells, I know High Seat.
0:37:17 > 0:37:18Um...
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Um...conservation areas - Brockhole Park.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Um... Lakes...
0:37:28 > 0:37:31We're better going for one of each?
0:37:31 > 0:37:36- My college was named after stuff. Eskdale?- Eskdale, yeah.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40- I don't know that's a very big one, though.- Is it not?- Derwentwater.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43- What did you say?- I don't know.
0:37:43 > 0:37:48- Ullswater.- Ullswater. I think Ullswater is quite a big one.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52- Ten seconds left.- Ullswater... - Ullswater, Derwentwater...
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- And a mountain.- Which?- Catbells. - Right, Catbells.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01OK, look at that. Just in time. You get your three answers.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03What would you like to give me?
0:38:03 > 0:38:08- Um, for largest lakes, we'll go for Ullswater...- Ullswater.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- ..and Derwentwater.- Derwentwater.
0:38:11 > 0:38:16- For highest mountains, we will go for...- TOGETHER:- Catbells.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17And Catbells. OK.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- We don't know that any of them are right, so...- Catbells.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- Catbells we'll put last.- Yes. - Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:26 > 0:38:30- Derwentwater.- Derwentwater, we put first. Ullswater in the middle.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Let's put those answers up on the board in that order. Here they are.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35We have got...
0:38:39 > 0:38:40Three excellent answers up there.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44Let's hope one of those is pointless and will win that jackpot for you.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47A nice proper jackpot for you today. £4,000.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49What would you do with that, Linda?
0:38:49 > 0:38:54Well, I have neglected my little front and back gardens.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57They're only tiny but I've neglected them for several years.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00My eldest daughter is a landscape gardener,
0:39:00 > 0:39:04so she would step in and do some work for me.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Wonderful, wonderful. Jess, how about you?
0:39:07 > 0:39:09We're about to do up our bathroom.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Our toilet's falling out, so we need a new toilet.
0:39:12 > 0:39:17- That sounds urgent, yeah.- Yeah. So, I'd buy a toilet.- Lovely.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21And possibly put some towards visiting Australia
0:39:21 > 0:39:26- because my sister's emigrated. - Very good. Very best of luck.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Let's hope one of these brilliant answers scores that jackpot for you.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Derwentwater. In this case,
0:39:31 > 0:39:34we were looking for the larger lakes in the Lake District.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37You've gone for Derwentwater. It has to be pointless to win that jackpot.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Let's find out how many of our 100 people said Derwentwater,
0:39:40 > 0:39:42for £4,000.
0:39:45 > 0:39:46It's right.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Now it just has to go down to zero and if it does that,
0:39:49 > 0:39:50you will leave here with £4,000.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54Derwentwater taking us down into the 20s, into the teens.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Into single figures. Down it goes.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58- 6.- Oh!- Oh!
0:39:58 > 0:40:01APPLAUSE
0:40:01 > 0:40:046 for Derwentwater, so not a pointless answer.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07That's a great score though. Nothing wrong with 6.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Let's look at your next answer, Ullswater.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Again, we were looking for the larger lakes in the Lake District.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16It has to be pointless, again, for you to win that jackpot,
0:40:16 > 0:40:18so for £4,000, let's see how many people said Ullswater.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22It's right.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Derwentwater took us all the way down to 6.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29Ullswater now taking us down into the 30s,
0:40:29 > 0:40:30through the 20s...
0:40:30 > 0:40:32- Ooh!- Ooh.- Ooh.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35APPLAUSE
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Wow, Ullswater.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Whoever's doing PR for Ullswater is doing a very good job there.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44Yeah, very surprising, considering how low Derwentwater scored.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Sadly, though, not pointless, which means everything is now riding
0:40:47 > 0:40:49on your third and final answer, which is Catbells.
0:40:49 > 0:40:54In this case, we were looking for the mountains of the Lake District.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Catbells. This has to be pointless for you to win.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01For £4,000, let's see how many of our 100 people said Catbells.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08Oh, no! Oh, no! I thought that was a wonderful answer.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11APPLAUSE
0:41:11 > 0:41:13It sort of bubbled out during the minute,
0:41:13 > 0:41:16in the way that pointless answers often do and I thought,
0:41:16 > 0:41:18"Ah, there's a winning answer."
0:41:18 > 0:41:21I'm so sorry, not a pointless answer, not a correct answer.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23We'll discover why not in a moment
0:41:23 > 0:41:25but it's been fabulous having you on the show.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29Fantastically well played, right the way through both shows, actually.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32But you didn't win today's jackpot of £4,000.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34That will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36- But you get to take home a Pointless trophy each.- Yay!
0:41:36 > 0:41:40And you go with all our best wishes and thanks for the cakes as well.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43APPLAUSE
0:41:43 > 0:41:45I feel bad, sending you away with no money,
0:41:45 > 0:41:48given all your lovely answers and your lovely cakes.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51I'm sorry about that. Let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Catbells not high enough to be listed.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55- About half the height of the mountains on this list.- Right.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Let's look at the lakes first.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05You could have had Brothers Water and Esthwaite Water as well.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08All of those were pointless. Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Let's look at the highest mountains.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Also could have had Catstycam. I've probably pronounced that wrong.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18I apologise. And Great End. All of those were pointless.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Conservation areas. There's quite a few of these.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28You could have had Bampton, Bampton Grange,
