0:00:14 > 0:00:18CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,

0:00:25 > 0:00:26the show where the aim of the game

0:00:26 > 0:00:28is to score as few points as you can.

0:00:28 > 0:00:31You do that by coming up with the answers no-one else could think of.

0:00:31 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.

0:00:37 > 0:00:38And couple number one.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40I'm Ellis, this is Ellen.

0:00:40 > 0:00:42We're friends and we're from Staffordshire.

0:00:42 > 0:00:43Couple number two.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Zoe. This is Alex, my boyfriend, and we're from Brighton.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48Couple number three.

0:00:48 > 0:00:49I'm Anne, this is my good friend, Barbara,

0:00:49 > 0:00:51and we're from Thurcaston in Leicestershire.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53And finally couple number four.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Colm. This is my dad, Clint, and we're from Reigate in Surrey.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58And these are today's contestants.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Thanks very much all of you.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04We will, of course, chat to each of you throughout the show,

0:01:04 > 0:01:08as it goes on. And that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12Sculpting today's trophy from the frozen tears of failed contestants,

0:01:12 > 0:01:14it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Hiya. Hi, everybody.

0:01:20 > 0:01:21- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23- How are you?- I'm very well.

0:01:23 > 0:01:24What a win last time.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Steve and Alice - £3,000 they took home.- Yeah.

0:01:27 > 0:01:28Vilnius was their winning answer.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30I won't tell you what the question was -

0:01:30 > 0:01:32you'll just have to guess what it was. Vilnius.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Vilnius.- Impressively done. One pair returning from that show.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37That's Ellis and Ellen on podium one there.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41- Now, Ellis and Ellen joined the 200 Club last time.- Mm.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43- But they were very unlucky, in my opinion.- Mm.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45It was one of those questions,

0:01:45 > 0:01:46where something wasn't in the dictionary,

0:01:46 > 0:01:48which people might think it was.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51So I think an unfortunate joining of the 200 Club.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Yeah.- But we welcome three new pairs.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Lovely first question today.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59- Is it?- Yeah.- Oh, that makes a change, doesn't it?!- It does.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Normally I try to have a disappointing one,

0:02:01 > 0:02:03but today I thought, "Why not? Come on."

0:02:03 > 0:02:04Why not? Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Now, all our questions on Pointless

0:02:06 > 0:02:08have been put to 100 people before the show.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Our contestants must find those obscure answers

0:02:10 > 0:02:12our 100 people didn't get.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14Of course, everyone's trying to find a pointless answer -

0:02:14 > 0:02:16that being an answer that NONE of our 100 people gave.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Now, Steve and Alice won the jackpot last time,

0:02:21 > 0:02:25so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000. There it is.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36All you have to remember is that the pair with the highest score

0:02:36 > 0:02:38at the end of each round will be eliminated.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41So do your best to find those low-scoring answers.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44OK, our first category today is...

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Bond Films. Can you all decide in your pairs

0:02:49 > 0:02:51who's going to go first, who's going to go second.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01Very good. And our first question is all about...

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Oscar-Nominated Bond Actors, Richard.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08Simply, we're going to show you 16 pictures now of actors.

0:03:08 > 0:03:09They've all appeared in Bond films

0:03:09 > 0:03:12and they've all been Oscar-nominated at some point in their career.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14You just need to tell us who the actors are, please.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17So any of the following 16 faces you're about to see.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21OK. So, as Richard has explained, we're going to show you 16 pictures.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24You just have to identify one of the people on that board.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26And here is that image.

0:03:28 > 0:03:29Look at that.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33There they all are - Bond actors.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Bond actors.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Now, Ellen, welcome back.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Remind us what you do, Ellen.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44I'm a student. I also work part-time in a pharmacy.

0:03:44 > 0:03:45Which department of the pharmacy?

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Are you actually behind the prescriptions counter?

0:03:47 > 0:03:49I'm an assistant, so I can't prescribe you anything,

0:03:49 > 0:03:51but I can tell you what I think's good for you.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54- People do that in pharmacies all the time now, don't they?- Yeah.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56What's the thing that most people try and buy

0:03:56 > 0:03:58that you have to sort of clamp down on?

0:03:58 > 0:04:00I would probably say, on average,

0:04:00 > 0:04:03it's always stuff like cough medicines and things like that.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05Everyone has a cough and cold.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Sometimes they do that, don't they? They hold it like that and they say,

0:04:07 > 0:04:10- "Have you used this before? Describe your symptoms."- Yeah.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12- "Are you buying it for yourself?" - Yeah.- That one.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15And then very reluctantly you hand it over. This time!

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Always with that, you just lie, don't you?

0:04:17 > 0:04:19"Yes, it's for me. Yes, I've used it before.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21- "Yes, I know it's a pregnancy test." - Yeah!

0:04:21 > 0:04:23LAUGHTER

0:04:23 > 0:04:24- What are the symptoms?"- Yeah.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28- Now, Ellen, Bond actors?- OK.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30- Are we happy? Are we happy about this as a round?- It's OK.

0:04:30 > 0:04:34OK. Good. There we are, good. Ellen, Bond actors.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37OK. I'm going to say Rosamund Pike.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Rosamund Pike, says Ellen. Let's see if that's right,

0:04:39 > 0:04:42let's see how many of our 100 people said Rosamund Pike.

0:04:44 > 0:04:45It is right.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53That is a very, very, very good answer, Ellen.

0:04:55 > 0:04:585 for Rosamund Pike.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01- On the evidence of that, they were robbed last time.- Weren't they?

0:05:01 > 0:05:03That's terrific stuff, Ellen. Very well played.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Yes, she played Miranda Frost in Die Another Day,

0:05:05 > 0:05:07and she was Oscar nominated for Gone Girl.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09- Thank you. Now, Alex.- Hi. - Welcome to Pointless.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11- Great to have you. You're from Brighton?- Yes, I am.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13And what is it you do in Brighton?

0:05:13 > 0:05:15I'm a secondary school science teacher.

0:05:15 > 0:05:16So when term finishes, Alex,

0:05:16 > 0:05:19and you've done all your things you have to do for the following term,

0:05:19 > 0:05:21what do you like to run off and do?

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Um, I like to exercise a lot.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27I like to go and watch lots of Game Of Thrones as well.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31Avid Game Of Thrones...

0:05:31 > 0:05:33- ..watcher?- ..watcher. Yeah.

0:05:33 > 0:05:34"Wotcha!"

0:05:36 > 0:05:38I watch lots of sport as well.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40I'm a really big Liverpool fan.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Very good. Are you a Bond fan?

0:05:43 > 0:05:44Am I a Bond fan? Yes, I am.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46- This is good.- Yeah.- This is good.

0:05:46 > 0:05:47Alex, Bond actors.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50- Bond actors, Alex. - Er, I'm going to go...

0:05:50 > 0:05:53I know a couple of them but I'm going to go for Javier Bardem.

0:05:53 > 0:05:54Javier Bardem, says Alex.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57Let's see how many of our 100 people said Javier Barden.

0:06:06 > 0:06:089. APPLAUSE

0:06:11 > 0:06:149 for Javier Bardem.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Nice work, Alex. I always get nervous for teachers

0:06:16 > 0:06:18because of all the kids watching.

0:06:18 > 0:06:19But that's a perfectly good answer, isn't it?

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Yeah, played Silva in Skyfall.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23And won an Oscar for No Country For Old Men.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25There you go. Thanks very much indeed.

0:06:25 > 0:06:26Barbara, welcome to the show.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Here from Thurcaston.- Yes.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32I think it's the first time we've had contestants from Thurcaston.

0:06:32 > 0:06:33- Yes.- I believe.

0:06:33 > 0:06:34What do you do, Barbara?

0:06:34 > 0:06:37I'm a part-time reader for a local publisher.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Is that proofreading?

0:06:39 > 0:06:42No, I just read the books. They pay me to read the books.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44And then what do you do on the back of that?

0:06:44 > 0:06:46- You would say... - I do have to write a report.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48- "I liked it."- Recommend it for publishing or not.- Right.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51Are you very candid then, if there are things you don't like?

0:06:51 > 0:06:52I say if it's good...

0:06:52 > 0:06:55There's no point saying it's a nice book if it's rubbish

0:06:55 > 0:06:57- and you don't want to inflict it on other people.- OK.

0:06:57 > 0:06:58LAUGHTER

0:06:58 > 0:07:00But you have to read to the end, don't you?

0:07:00 > 0:07:02- So if you're really hating it... - You have to read all of it.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Cos they are paying you.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06- There is that.- There is that. - There is that.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Now Barbara, Bond actors.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11Julian Fellowes.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Julian Fellowes, says Barbara. Let's see if that's right.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Let's see how many of our 100 people identified Julian Fellowes.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Very well done indeed.

0:07:28 > 0:07:29Best score so far.

0:07:29 > 0:07:304 for Julian Fellowes.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37It's a very high-quality first round, isn't it, so far?

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Look at those scores. Yeah, he plays the Minister for Defence

0:07:39 > 0:07:41in Tomorrow Never Dies.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44And won an Oscar for the screenplay for Gosford Park.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Thank you very much, Richard.

0:07:46 > 0:07:47- Clint. Welcome to the show.- Hello.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Good to have you here. Where are you from, Clint?

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Reigate in Surrey.

0:07:51 > 0:07:52And what do you do there?

0:07:52 > 0:07:54I'm a property developer.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58I have a small development company, construction.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Buy land, build new houses.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Right you are. And what are your loves, Clint?

0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Loves? Bruce Springsteen. - That's good.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08- The England football team. - That's good.

0:08:08 > 0:08:09And Colm.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11- ALL:- Aw! - LAUGHTER

0:08:11 > 0:08:14And do you manage to see lots of all of those people?

0:08:14 > 0:08:15- I'm sure you see lots of Colm!- Yeah,

0:08:15 > 0:08:20I've just come back from seeing Bruce play at Madison Square Garden.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22Wow. How many times have you seen him?

0:08:22 > 0:08:24Round about 25 times now.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26Do you have a favourite gig?

0:08:26 > 0:08:27A favourite gig?

0:08:27 > 0:08:29The last one was fantastic,

0:08:29 > 0:08:33cos it was a rerun of The River Tour.

0:08:33 > 0:08:34Which you also saw?

0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Yes, I did, in 1981.- Wow.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41- Good work.- And I follow the England football team quite a bit.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Oh, we went to see them at Madison Square Garden!

0:08:43 > 0:08:45They were amazing!

0:08:45 > 0:08:48- It was a rerun of Italia '90.- Yeah. - It was, er...

0:08:48 > 0:08:51- I mean, it ended badly, but... - Yeah.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Really, really good. Now, Clint,

0:08:53 > 0:08:55what would you like to go for on this board?

0:08:55 > 0:08:59I know a few of them. There are some low answers already.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01So I'm going to try Christopher Walken.

0:09:01 > 0:09:02- Christopher Walken...- Yes.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04..says Clint, let's see if that's right.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:09:08 > 0:09:09It's right.

0:09:11 > 0:09:134 is our lowest score. 9 is our highest.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Ooh, 27 for Christopher Walken.

0:09:15 > 0:09:16APPLAUSE

0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Yeah, in any other round, not a bad score, is it, 27?- No.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25He was in A View To A Kill.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27And he won an Oscar for The Deer Hunter.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Christopher Walken.- There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32Well, we're halfway through the round.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Let's take a look at those scores.

0:09:34 > 0:09:35Well, Barbara, very well done.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Barbara and Anne looking very strong on 4.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40Then we travel up to 5, where we find Ellen and Ellis.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42HE SIGHS A reprieve after last time!

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Then up to 9, where we find Alex and Zoe. Very well done.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Then up to 27. Christopher Walken -

0:09:46 > 0:09:47a high scorer for you, Clint.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49So, Colm, you know what you have to do.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51We need a really obscure and low-scoring answer.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Best of luck. We'll come back down the line now.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:09:59 > 0:10:01OK, so remember, we're looking for the names

0:10:01 > 0:10:03of any of these Oscar-nominated Bond actors.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05And obviously, Colm,

0:10:05 > 0:10:07you're going to try to find the lowest-scoring one you can.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Colm, welcome to the show.- Hi there.

0:10:09 > 0:10:10What do you do, Colm?

0:10:10 > 0:10:12I study graphic design at Southampton Solent.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14- That's fun.- Mm-hm. - What year are you in?

0:10:14 > 0:10:16I'm in my second at the moment.

0:10:16 > 0:10:17- Enjoying it?- Oh, I love it.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20And graphic design, is that where you're going to go afterwards?

0:10:20 > 0:10:22- Yeah.- You're sure of that. You're enjoying it enough.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24What are your hobbies, when you're not working?

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Playing tennis a lot, watching Pointless a little bit.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30This is... "A little bit"? What do you mean?!

0:10:30 > 0:10:32- You do MORE tennis?! - Sorry, I love Pointless.- Thank you.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34It's only 45 minutes a day, to be fair.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Well, I know, but does he play tennis that often?

0:10:36 > 0:10:39I want to know. 45 minutes of tennis a day?

0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Colm? Yeah.- Really?

0:10:41 > 0:10:42Yeah, yeah, he absolutely does.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44"Pointless Colm", they call him!

0:10:44 > 0:10:46LAUGHTER

0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Er, Colm.- Yes.- Now...

0:10:49 > 0:10:51..Bond people.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Yeah, a bit of a tough act to follow, with everyone else.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55COLM PUFFS

0:10:55 > 0:10:57I think I'm going to go with John Cleese.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59John Cleese, says Colm.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01No red line for you as you're the high scorers.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Let's see how much we get for John Cleese.

0:11:06 > 0:11:07It's right.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11Oh! I feared that might be the answer there.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13APPLAUSE

0:11:13 > 0:11:1576, taking your total up to 103.

0:11:15 > 0:11:16Yeah, that is a big score.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18He's in a couple of Bond films, Cleese,

0:11:18 > 0:11:21and nominated for the screenplay for A Fish Called Wanda.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24That's where he got his Oscar nomination from.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Yeah, a very recognisable face. - Yes.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Thanks very much, Richard.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30- Anne.- Hello.- Welcome to the show.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34- What do you do, Anne?- I'm a student with the Open University.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37- And what are you studying? - English literature.

0:11:37 > 0:11:38And how long have you been studying it?

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Six years. But it's part-time!

0:11:40 > 0:11:42- That's the nice thing about the Open University.- Yes.

0:11:42 > 0:11:43You can take your time.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45- Are you loving it? - Absolutely fantastic.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47I finished in the summer.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50I've just got two essays and one exam.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52And then I'm just going to be bereft.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Ah! But I mean, you want to be...

0:11:54 > 0:11:56I don't know, I don't know. How do you keep that going?

0:11:56 > 0:11:58How do you keep that fire burning, I wonder?

0:11:58 > 0:12:00I'm going to learn Latin, I think.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02That's how you keep the fire burning.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05Just work through all the arts and then move on to science.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08I thought about starting with A and going through to Z.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10That's a great idea.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12Now, Anne, Bond actors.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15I am really not good at this

0:12:15 > 0:12:20but I do know a handsome man who looks very much like you.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24LAUGHTER

0:12:24 > 0:12:27Slightly weird non sequitur there, but go on.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31And that's "Ralph Fienne".

0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Say it one more time.- "Fienne".

0:12:33 > 0:12:35F-I-E-N-N-E-S?

0:12:35 > 0:12:37OK, let's see if Ralph Fiennes is right.

0:12:37 > 0:12:38There's your red line.

0:12:41 > 0:12:42Very well done.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47APPLAUSE

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Ralph Fiennes takes your total up to 36.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Well done, Anne. Ralph Fiennes,

0:12:54 > 0:12:55but given you spelled it, we allowed it.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58Of course, he stars in Skyfall and Spectre.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Or as Anne calls them, "Kyfall" and "Pectre".

0:13:00 > 0:13:02LAUGHTER

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Oscar-nominated for Schindler's List

0:13:04 > 0:13:07and English Patient as well.

0:13:07 > 0:13:08There we go. Zoe.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10- Hi.- Welcome to Pointless.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Great to have you here from Brighton.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15I'm actually from Swansea in Wales but I study in Brighton.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17- I see.- Yes.- Yeah.

0:13:17 > 0:13:18- I'm at uni there. - You're at uni there.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20- And what year are you in? - I'm in third year.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22- What are you studying?- Pharmacy.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27- Have you been...? - Yeah, I've talked to... Yeah.- OK.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30Basically, all you have to learn is this.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32LAUGHTER

0:13:32 > 0:13:34- Are you enjoying it though? - Yeah, it's good.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36It's hard, third year. But, yeah, I'm enjoying it.

0:13:36 > 0:13:37Very good indeed.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40And what do you get up to, aside from your hard studies?

0:13:40 > 0:13:46I like to bake and I like to rock climb sometimes as well.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48Very nice. You could bake rock cakes. Sorry...

0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Yeah, I have actually. - Ah, there you go.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53Very good. Now, Zoe. Bond actors.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55I'm not very good at this.

0:13:57 > 0:14:01I know a few up there but I think maybe I'm just going to play it safe

0:14:01 > 0:14:03and go with Halle Berry.

0:14:03 > 0:14:04OK, Halle Berry.

0:14:04 > 0:14:0693 is your target.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08If you can score that or less,

0:14:08 > 0:14:10you are through to the next round. There's your red line.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13Let's see how far down the column you get with Halle Berry.

0:14:16 > 0:14:17Very well done.

0:14:20 > 0:14:2346. APPLAUSE

0:14:23 > 0:14:24Which takes your total up to 55.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28Yeah, stars in Die Another Day, of course,

0:14:28 > 0:14:30and won an Oscar for Monster's Ball.

0:14:30 > 0:14:31Thank you, Richard.

0:14:31 > 0:14:32- Ellis.- Hello.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Ellis, remind us what you do.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37I'm a student and I work part time in a pharmacy.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39And what sort of student are you?

0:14:39 > 0:14:40What are you studying?

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Professional and creative writing and English literature.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Do you get any good ideas for creative writing in the pharmacy?

0:14:46 > 0:14:48People coming in, maybe asking for medicines

0:14:48 > 0:14:49that they haven't tried before or...

0:14:49 > 0:14:52- LAUGHTER - Well, I'm studying crime fiction.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54That's fun. Crime fiction.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57- It's all right.- What do you mean, "It's all right"?

0:14:57 > 0:14:58LAUGHTER

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Oh, it could be fabulous.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03So what's the longest story you have written so far?

0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Um, just focusing on short stories.- OK.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09Started writing the start of a novel.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12I haven't touched it, really, but I have started.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15LAUGHING: That's the main thing.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17OK, so there you are - you're on 5.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19If you can score 97 or less...

0:15:19 > 0:15:20- Hm.- ..you're into the next round.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23Would you like to talk us through that board?

0:15:23 > 0:15:26Er, well, I recognise a lot of them.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29Judi Dench is the top. Er...

0:15:30 > 0:15:33Yeah. Well, the one that I'm going to go with is Christoph Waltz.

0:15:33 > 0:15:37Christoph Waltz or "Vaultz" or "Valtz".

0:15:37 > 0:15:39There is your red line. If you can get below that with Christoph Waltz,

0:15:39 > 0:15:41you are through to the next round.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44Let's see how many of our 100 people said Christoph Waltz.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48It's right and you're through. Very well done.

0:15:53 > 0:15:54APPLAUSE 9.

0:15:54 > 0:15:569, very well done.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58Taking your total up to 14,

0:15:58 > 0:16:00the lowest scorers of the first round.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Well done, Ellis. Yeah, he plays Blofeld in Spectre.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Oh, he's a terrifying actor as well, isn't he?- He is.- Terrific.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08- Found success very late in life, as well.- Yeah.

0:16:08 > 0:16:09Lots of acting in Germany,

0:16:09 > 0:16:11but now he's brilliant in everything he's in.

0:16:11 > 0:16:12Now, we'll leave the top row

0:16:12 > 0:16:14cos there's a couple of pointless answers up there.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16We'll take a look at the second row.

0:16:16 > 0:16:17We've had Cleese and Bardem.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19There's Minnie Driver there, of course.

0:16:19 > 0:16:20She would have scored you 25 points.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23On the third row there, we've had Rosamund Pike.

0:16:23 > 0:16:24Next to Rosamund Pike?

0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Albert Finney.- Albert Finney would have scored you 5 points.

0:16:27 > 0:16:28He's in Skyfall.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31He's been nominated five times for an Oscar, never won an Oscar,

0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Albert Finney.- Wow.- Amazingly.- Mm.

0:16:34 > 0:16:35Bottom row?

0:16:35 > 0:16:38- Telly Savalas.- Telly Savalas. Also played Blofeld.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41He would have scored you 46 points. Next to him?

0:16:41 > 0:16:42Er, Benicio del Toro.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44Benicio del Toro would have scored you 5.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47- We've had Halle Berry.- Halle Berry. - Then we have...?

0:16:47 > 0:16:49Oh, I forget. Sean Connery.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51Now, Sean Connery...

0:16:51 > 0:16:53We've got Judi Dench at the top there as well.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56Who do you think scored most out of those two?

0:16:56 > 0:16:59That you're asking me suggests that maybe Judi Dench did?

0:16:59 > 0:17:02Well, Judi Dench would have scored you 83,

0:17:02 > 0:17:04Sean Connery 85.

0:17:04 > 0:17:05- 85.- Wow.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08Just tops Judi Dench - only just though.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11So we just have the two pointless answers up the top there.

0:17:11 > 0:17:15- It's Topol.- Topol? - Topol is the second picture there.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18And very well done if you got the fourth one at the top there,

0:17:18 > 0:17:22who is Giancarlo Giannini from Casino Royale and Quantum Of Solace.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Was nominated for an Oscar for Seven Beauties.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Terrific answer if you got that at home. Very well played.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:17:28 > 0:17:29So, at the end of our first round,

0:17:29 > 0:17:32the pair who will be heading home with their high score of 103...

0:17:32 > 0:17:33I'm sorry, Colm and Clint, 'tis you.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35But we'll see you again next time.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37Look forward to your return very much.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40In the meantime, thanks very much for playing. Colm and Clint.

0:17:40 > 0:17:41APPLAUSE

0:17:42 > 0:17:46But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Well, we're now down to two pairs but well done, everyone.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Some lovely low scoring in that round.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Barbara - yours, I think, was the lowest score.

0:17:58 > 0:18:004 points for Julian Fellowes.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03Wonderful scoring there. And Ellis and Ellen -

0:18:03 > 0:18:05there we are. There's our answer.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07This is what Round Two looks like. LAUGHTER

0:18:07 > 0:18:09So this is what you would have seen last time.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11Anyway, best of luck to all three pairs.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...

0:18:14 > 0:18:16Can you all decide in your pairs

0:18:16 > 0:18:18who's going to go first, who's going to go second.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28OK. And the question concerns...

0:18:31 > 0:18:34Anniversaries In 2016. Richard?

0:18:34 > 0:18:36We are going to show you six clues on each pass

0:18:36 > 0:18:40to things that are celebrating their anniversary in 2016.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42Just need to give us the most obscure answer, please.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44It's going to be six on the first pass, six on the second.

0:18:44 > 0:18:4612 in all to have a go at home. Very best of luck.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49OK, so let's reveal our first board of clues.

0:18:49 > 0:18:50And here they are.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24I'll read all of those again.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52There we are. Ellis.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54We come to you first.

0:19:54 > 0:19:55Yeah.

0:19:55 > 0:19:59I only know two and I'm going to go for the one

0:19:59 > 0:20:02that I think is the lowest, which is the bottom one,

0:20:02 > 0:20:03and say Roald Dahl.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05Roald Dahl, says Ellis.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Roald Dahl. Let's see if that's right,

0:20:07 > 0:20:09let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:20:15 > 0:20:1742 for Roald Dahl. APPLAUSE

0:20:22 > 0:20:24Born in 1916, Roald Dahl.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26So would have been 100 in 2016.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28There we are. Thank you. RICHARD MAKES A KNOCKING SOUND

0:20:28 > 0:20:30Very good.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32- Yeah.- Good.- Maths.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34- Maths?- Yeah.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36Maths in action.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38- There you are.- My new series.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41Oh! I would watch that.

0:20:41 > 0:20:42On catch-up, probably.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45I'd watch it on +1.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48- On, like, 32 speed.- Yeah.

0:20:48 > 0:20:51- "I loved it. Very short." - LAUGHTER

0:20:51 > 0:20:53Anne, what would you like to go for?

0:20:53 > 0:20:55I think I've got a good idea about them all,

0:20:55 > 0:20:58so it's a case of which I think is the lowest.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01So the second one is the Easter Rebellion.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04- The Easter Rebellion...- Yes. - ..says Anne. The Easter Rebellion.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:21:09 > 0:21:10It's right.

0:21:16 > 0:21:1813, very well done. APPLAUSE

0:21:18 > 0:21:20Good answer, Anne.

0:21:20 > 0:21:2113 for the Easter Rebellion.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25Yeah, 100 years since the Easter Rising or the Easter Rebellion.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Absolutely.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29Or the "Eater Rebellion", as Anne would call it.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31LAUGHTER

0:21:31 > 0:21:34I was once in one of those cafes when there was...

0:21:34 > 0:21:37They weren't happy, I'll tell you that for one thing.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39- The Eater Rebellion.- Yeah.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41Oh. "These dough balls are freezing!"

0:21:44 > 0:21:47Zoe. This board is all yours.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50If you felt like it, you could go through all of those.

0:21:50 > 0:21:55The one just above the bottom one, I can kind of get the gist of it,

0:21:55 > 0:21:57but I'm not going to go for it just in case it's wrong.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59So I'm just going to play it safe

0:21:59 > 0:22:02- and go for Shakespeare for the English playwright.- OK.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04Shakespeare says Zoe.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Let's see how safe it is.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13It's right. Yes, I feared that might be that safe. 80.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16APPLAUSE Well, better than 100.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Yeah, well played to our 100 there.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21The 400th anniversary of his death, Shakespeare.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24Now let's take a look at the rest of these.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26What's that top one, Xander, do you think?

0:22:26 > 0:22:28- Cannes. - It is the Cannes Film Festival.

0:22:28 > 0:22:29Would have scored 38 points.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31It's going to be the 70th anniversary

0:22:31 > 0:22:33of the Cannes Film Festival in 2016.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35The society for the top 2% of the population.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37- Mensa.- It is Mensa.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39Yes, that's the 70th anniversary as well

0:22:39 > 0:22:41and would have scored you 70 points.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44I have to say, you know, this top 2% of the population,

0:22:44 > 0:22:47it's a bit elitist. What about the other 97% of us?

0:22:47 > 0:22:49LAUGHTER

0:22:49 > 0:22:51I mean... You know what I mean?

0:22:52 > 0:22:54And the name of the Russian?

0:22:54 > 0:22:56He is, Yuri...

0:22:56 > 0:22:59- He is.- Guh... Guh-guh... Gens...

0:22:59 > 0:23:00Gaga...?

0:23:00 > 0:23:01What's he called?

0:23:01 > 0:23:02- MULTIPLE PEOPLE:- Gagarin. - Gagarin.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05- Yuri Gagarin is the right answer. - Yuri Gagarin, that's the one.

0:23:05 > 0:23:09And it's 56 points for that. It's the 55th anniversary of that.

0:23:09 > 0:23:14- The traditional 55th anniversary that we always celebrate.- Ah, yes.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17Mm. Thank you very much indeed. OK, so let's look at the scores.

0:23:17 > 0:23:18We're halfway through the round.

0:23:18 > 0:23:2013, Anne and Barbara, very well done indeed.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22Lovely low score there.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24Then up to 42, where we find Ellis and Ellen,

0:23:24 > 0:23:26and now up to 80. Yeah, Zoe and Alex.

0:23:26 > 0:23:27Little bit ahead there.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30So, Alex, a nice low score from you might keep you in the game.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32We're going to come back down the line now.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:23:36 > 0:23:38OK, let's put six more clues up on the board.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40And here they come.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07I'm going to read those all again.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34Alex. It's got to be a low scorer.

0:24:34 > 0:24:38Yeah, so I know a couple of them that I think would be quite high.

0:24:38 > 0:24:39Um...

0:24:39 > 0:24:42So I'm going to go one I think might be lower.

0:24:42 > 0:24:46So I'm going to go with the Great Fire of London for historic event.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48OK, the Great Fire of London, says Alex.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50No red line for you, as you're the highest scorers.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Let's see how many of our 100 people said the Great Fire of London.

0:24:58 > 0:25:0076.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02APPLAUSE

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Takes your total up to an unbeatable 156.

0:25:05 > 0:25:09Yeah, the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of London.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Thank you very much indeed. Now, Barbara.

0:25:13 > 0:25:14Oh.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16I'm not sure about two of them...

0:25:18 > 0:25:22..so I think I'll go for the bottom one, which is Concorde.

0:25:22 > 0:25:23Concorde, says Barbara.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25No red line for you, you're already through.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27Let's see how many of our 100 people said Concorde.

0:25:32 > 0:25:3375.

0:25:35 > 0:25:36Takes your total up to 88.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38Yeah. Well played, Barbara.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42You know, it went 1,350mph, Concorde could fly.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45You know it could do London to New York in under three hours?

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Isn't that amazing?

0:25:47 > 0:25:48It's even faster than you...

0:25:48 > 0:25:51- That's really very fast, isn't it? - That's REALLY fast.

0:25:51 > 0:25:55It's like going from London to Liverpool or something.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58- Yeah.- Incredible. There it is. - It is incredible.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00Ellen, what would you like to go for?

0:26:00 > 0:26:02You can talk us through the board, if you like.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04- Well, I can't. - LAUGHTER

0:26:04 > 0:26:06I mean, I would have guessed...

0:26:06 > 0:26:08I know it's Battle of Hastings,

0:26:08 > 0:26:12I would've guessed Bobby Charlton, maybe, for the World Cup one,

0:26:12 > 0:26:13and maybe the M6 as the top one.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16But I'm going to go with Battle of Hastings

0:26:16 > 0:26:18- just because I know that one's right.- OK, well, listen.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20- You're through anyway so it doesn't matter.- Oh.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23No red line for that reason. So Battle of Hastings, says Ellen.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:26:30 > 0:26:3265?!

0:26:32 > 0:26:33APPLAUSE

0:26:35 > 0:26:37Wow. I mean, that...

0:26:37 > 0:26:38That scored less than Concorde.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40I know, that's ridiculous.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42OK, 107 is your total.

0:26:42 > 0:26:46- How extraordinary. - You're not impressed with that?

0:26:46 > 0:26:49I would have hoped our 100, a few more of them might have got that.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52To be fair, it's 950 years ago. Come on.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54LAUGHTER

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Let's have a look through the rest of these.

0:26:56 > 0:26:57The motorway - it's not the M6.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00- M25.- M25, yep.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02Good scorer that - 30 points.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Not Bobby Charlton, but Bobby Moore.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07Bobby Moore. That would have scored you 57.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09And the city that hosted the first modern Olympics?

0:27:09 > 0:27:11- Athens.- Athens.

0:27:11 > 0:27:12And that would have scored 42.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15- So the best answer on the board was the M25.- Wow.

0:27:15 > 0:27:16Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18So, at the end of our second round,

0:27:18 > 0:27:20I'm afraid it's Alex and Zoe we're saying goodbye to.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22But we will see you again next time.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24Thanks very much for playing, Alex and Zoe.

0:27:24 > 0:27:25APPLAUSE

0:27:28 > 0:27:32But, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39Well, congratulations Ellis and Ellen, Anne and Barbara.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42You are now in the head-to-head, one step closer to the final

0:27:42 > 0:27:44and a chance to play for our jackpot,

0:27:44 > 0:27:47which is still standing at £1,000.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Well, you know the deal here.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51This time, you're allowed to confer and the first pair

0:27:51 > 0:27:53to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:27:53 > 0:27:57Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04OK, here is your first question.

0:28:04 > 0:28:05And it is all about...

0:28:08 > 0:28:10French Words And Phrases Used In English, Richard?

0:28:10 > 0:28:13Yeah, we're going to show you five pictures now which represent

0:28:13 > 0:28:16French words which have commonly entered the English language.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18We're also going to give you the initial of each word.

0:28:18 > 0:28:20Can you tell us what the word is, please?

0:28:20 > 0:28:22OK, let's reveal our five phrases.

0:28:22 > 0:28:24And here they come.

0:28:24 > 0:28:25We've got...

0:28:53 > 0:28:57OK. So, Ellis and Ellen, we come to you first.

0:28:57 > 0:28:59Feel free to confer.

0:28:59 > 0:29:02OK. Well, we know the two most obvious ones on there

0:29:02 > 0:29:04but it's better than getting one wrong.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06So we're going to go for C, cul-de-sac.

0:29:06 > 0:29:10OK. Cul-de-sac, C. Cul-de-sac.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13Now then, Anne and Barbara, talk us through that board.

0:29:14 > 0:29:16Well A is Vol-au-vent.

0:29:16 > 0:29:18B is Art Nouveau.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20E is en masse.

0:29:20 > 0:29:23We can't get D, which is really irritating.

0:29:23 > 0:29:24So we'll go for B.

0:29:24 > 0:29:26You're going for Art Nouveau.

0:29:26 > 0:29:28- Please.- B. OK.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30So, we have cul-de-sac and we have Art Nouveau.

0:29:30 > 0:29:32Ellis and Ellen went for cul-de-sac for C.

0:29:32 > 0:29:36Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:29:38 > 0:29:39It's right.

0:29:42 > 0:29:44Quite a high one there. 63 for cul-de-sac.

0:29:44 > 0:29:46APPLAUSE

0:29:47 > 0:29:50Anne and Barbara, meanwhile, have gone for Art Nouveau for B.

0:29:50 > 0:29:51Let's see if that's right,

0:29:51 > 0:29:54let's see how many of our 100 people said Art Nouveau.

0:29:57 > 0:29:59It's right, and it wins you the point.

0:29:59 > 0:30:02Very well done. Art Nouveau, still going down...

0:30:02 > 0:30:03to 21!

0:30:07 > 0:30:11Which means, after one question, Anne and Barbara, you are up 1-0.

0:30:11 > 0:30:13Yeah, well played. Let's take a look at the rest of these.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15You're right about vol-au-vent.

0:30:15 > 0:30:17Big score, though. Would have scored you 78 points.

0:30:17 > 0:30:19They do look nice.

0:30:19 > 0:30:20I love that - custard with ham in.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22- It's nice, isn't it? - LAUGHTER

0:30:22 > 0:30:25It means flight in the wind, vol-au-vent.

0:30:25 > 0:30:28- Yeah, I know.- Slightly racy.- You can imagine, after those, couldn't you?

0:30:28 > 0:30:29Yeah. LAUGHTER

0:30:29 > 0:30:32Now, we'll leave D for a second cos I know you didn't know it.

0:30:32 > 0:30:33E is the best answer. You did know that.

0:30:33 > 0:30:34En masse, you're right.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36- Would have scored 20 points.- Oh.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38Now, you were looking concerned at the board as well.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40Were you having trouble with D as well?

0:30:40 > 0:30:42Well, I think I've worked out what it is

0:30:42 > 0:30:44but why we should have a picture of Trudie Styler eating a salad...

0:30:44 > 0:30:46LAUGHTER

0:30:46 > 0:30:48- It's simply somebody enjoying their food.- Oh, I see.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50And what do we say when someone enjoys their food?

0:30:50 > 0:30:52- ALL:- Bon appetit. - Bon appetit.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54- You see, I thought it was to do... - 20 points.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56I can see she's enjoying it. I can see that.

0:30:56 > 0:30:59I thought it was to do with the fact it was all salad based.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01- Yes,- I- did.- Oh, did you?

0:31:01 > 0:31:03- Cos that's the most delicious food...- It is.

0:31:03 > 0:31:06- ..of all, kids.- Mmm-mmm-mmm.

0:31:06 > 0:31:11I tell you what I really love is that really bitter red leaf.

0:31:11 > 0:31:13Lollo rosso, is that what that is?

0:31:13 > 0:31:15- Steak? No, thank you.- No, uh-uh. LAUGHTER

0:31:17 > 0:31:19Very good indeed. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21So here comes your second question.

0:31:21 > 0:31:23Ellis and Ellen, you have to win this one to stay in the game,

0:31:23 > 0:31:24so good luck with that.

0:31:24 > 0:31:27Our second question in the head-to-head round today concerns...

0:31:29 > 0:31:30Book Characters, Richard?

0:31:30 > 0:31:32We're going to show you the first names now,

0:31:32 > 0:31:34or commonly used names, of characters in books.

0:31:34 > 0:31:37Also going to show you the authors of those books.

0:31:37 > 0:31:38You need to tell us the book in which

0:31:38 > 0:31:41- these characters first appeared, please.- OK.

0:31:41 > 0:31:44In which books did these characters first appear?

0:31:44 > 0:31:47And here is our list of five characters. We have got...

0:32:04 > 0:32:06I'm going to read those one last time.

0:32:20 > 0:32:21There we are.

0:32:21 > 0:32:23Anne and Barbara, you'll go first.

0:32:23 > 0:32:26We'll go for number two, The Help.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29Number two, The Help. Number two, The Help.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32Ellis and Ellen, that board is all yours -

0:32:32 > 0:32:33talk us through it if you can.

0:32:33 > 0:32:36The top one's Of Mice And Men.

0:32:36 > 0:32:39Suzanne Collins is The Hunger Games.

0:32:39 > 0:32:43Tiny Tim, the Charles Dickens one is A Christmas Carol.

0:32:43 > 0:32:47- And I think we're going to go with the last one...- Yeah.

0:32:47 > 0:32:50..which we think is The Borrowers.

0:32:50 > 0:32:53The Borrowers, say Ellis and Ellen.

0:32:53 > 0:32:54So, in the order they were given,

0:32:54 > 0:32:56we have The Help from Anne and Barbara.

0:32:56 > 0:32:57Let's see if that's right,

0:32:57 > 0:33:00let's see how people said The Help for the Kathryn Stockett answer.

0:33:04 > 0:33:05It's right.

0:33:09 > 0:33:11Oh, it's a good answer, as well.

0:33:11 > 0:33:12Look at that! 3! APPLAUSE

0:33:14 > 0:33:16Very well done indeed.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22Ellis and Ellen have gone for The Borrowers

0:33:22 > 0:33:24for Hazel, Fiver, Bigwig and Pipkin.

0:33:24 > 0:33:25Let's see if that's right and, if it is,

0:33:25 > 0:33:27let's see how many people said it.

0:33:30 > 0:33:32No, I'm so sorry.

0:33:32 > 0:33:34I'm so sorry, Ellis and Ellen, that is an incorrect answer,

0:33:34 > 0:33:38which means Anne and Barbara, brilliant answer from you,

0:33:38 > 0:33:41you win that question and you are straight through to the final, 2-0.

0:33:41 > 0:33:43Yes, well played, you did know all the other answers,

0:33:43 > 0:33:46but nothing you could have done to beat The Help. Terrific answer.

0:33:46 > 0:33:48Great head-to-head, Anne and Barbara, well played.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50It's not The Borrowers, it is...?

0:33:50 > 0:33:53- Watership Down.- Watership Down is the answer. Unlucky.

0:33:53 > 0:33:56Would have scored you 24 points.

0:33:56 > 0:33:58You were right about Of Mice And Men.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02At the top there, that would have scored 33.

0:34:02 > 0:34:05You were right about The Hunger Games as well,

0:34:05 > 0:34:06that would have scored 30.

0:34:06 > 0:34:09And, of course, you were right about A Christmas Carol.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11And that would have scored 51.

0:34:11 > 0:34:13So The Help far and away the best answer there.

0:34:13 > 0:34:14- Unbeatable.- There we are.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16Thank you very much indeed. So the pair leaving us

0:34:16 > 0:34:18at the end of the head-to-head round,

0:34:18 > 0:34:20I'm afraid it's Ellis and Ellen. I'm so sorry.

0:34:20 > 0:34:23But what a brilliant show we've had from you this time.

0:34:23 > 0:34:25Completely vindicated after last time.

0:34:25 > 0:34:27It's been wonderful having you on both shows,

0:34:27 > 0:34:29thank you so much for playing. Ellis and Ellen.

0:34:29 > 0:34:30APPLAUSE

0:34:31 > 0:34:35But, for Anne and Barbara, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:34:38 > 0:34:40Congratulations, Anne and Barbara!

0:34:40 > 0:34:42You've seen off all the competition

0:34:42 > 0:34:44and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

0:34:52 > 0:34:55At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,000.

0:34:55 > 0:34:57There it is. Well, very well done indeed.

0:34:57 > 0:34:59To come from behind like that -

0:34:59 > 0:35:01you weren't the golden pair in the head-to-head there.

0:35:01 > 0:35:04And a very decisive 2-0 win there, fantastic.

0:35:04 > 0:35:06The Help was a great answer.

0:35:06 > 0:35:09What would you like to come up in this last round?

0:35:09 > 0:35:11- Books.- Books.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13- Yeah.- Words.

0:35:13 > 0:35:15OK. Well, as always, you get to choose your category

0:35:15 > 0:35:16from the four we put up on the board.

0:35:16 > 0:35:18Let's hope you like the look of something up there.

0:35:18 > 0:35:20Today's selection is this...

0:35:29 > 0:35:32- Oh. US crime... No.- No. It's got to be...

0:35:32 > 0:35:33Has it got to be music?

0:35:33 > 0:35:36Do you know anything about music groups that have included spouses?

0:35:36 > 0:35:39- No.- Let's go for that one, then!

0:35:39 > 0:35:41- Music Groups That Have Included Spouses?- Is that OK?

0:35:41 > 0:35:43- Because we can guess.- Yes.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46- Well, yes.- We can always guess.

0:35:46 > 0:35:48Can we say "The Beatles" for all of them?

0:35:48 > 0:35:50You can do what you like.

0:35:50 > 0:35:53- But the questions we're going to put in front of you...- Right.

0:35:53 > 0:35:56..will be music groups that included spouses, OK?

0:35:56 > 0:36:00OK, we're looking for any UK top 40 single up to December 2015, please,

0:36:00 > 0:36:03by any of the following groups, no solo efforts or anything like that,

0:36:03 > 0:36:06but by these groups, double A-sides will count as separate answers.

0:36:13 > 0:36:15Three very different bands there -

0:36:15 > 0:36:17Wings, New Order, White Stripes.

0:36:17 > 0:36:20And that is according to officialcharts.com.

0:36:20 > 0:36:21Very best of luck.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers

0:36:27 > 0:36:28and all you need to win that jackpot

0:36:28 > 0:36:30is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:36:30 > 0:36:32- Are you ready?- Yes.

0:36:32 > 0:36:34We're putting 60 seconds up on the clock.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36There they are. Your time starts now.

0:36:36 > 0:36:38Mull Of Kintyre?

0:36:38 > 0:36:40We've got to say Barbara Ann, haven't we,

0:36:40 > 0:36:43- even though we know it's wrong? - Yes.- We've got to say Barbara Ann.

0:36:43 > 0:36:45What else did Wings do?

0:36:49 > 0:36:52- We've got 47 seconds left, Barbara, come on.- 47 seconds!

0:36:52 > 0:36:54Um, what was that...?

0:36:54 > 0:36:57- New Order.- I can tell you who the spouse was in Wings,

0:36:57 > 0:36:58but that's not going to help.

0:36:58 > 0:37:01I don't know who New Order is.

0:37:01 > 0:37:04And I've only heard of The White Stripes.

0:37:04 > 0:37:07What's a really silly single that they would hate to sing?

0:37:07 > 0:37:10- And we can embarrass them. - What, Wings?

0:37:10 > 0:37:12There's No-One Quite Like Grandma?

0:37:12 > 0:37:15No. No, that's terrible.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18How about I've Got A Brand-new Combine Harvester?

0:37:18 > 0:37:20Good one. Let's have that one.

0:37:20 > 0:37:23And I think we should have that famous, famous record,

0:37:23 > 0:37:24Alexander And Richard.

0:37:25 > 0:37:28- No.- Don't you think?- Yes, that's right.- Or Richard And Alexander?

0:37:28 > 0:37:30Or we could have them both.

0:37:30 > 0:37:33Richard And Alexander sounds nicer. The other way round.

0:37:33 > 0:37:35- Yes.- Two seconds, this is rubbish.

0:37:35 > 0:37:39- Alexander And Richard. - Your time is now up.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41LAUGHTER There we are.

0:37:41 > 0:37:42I now need your three answers,

0:37:42 > 0:37:46and if you could say which group sang these..."songs".

0:37:46 > 0:37:48Mull of Kintyre by Wings.

0:37:48 > 0:37:50- Mull of Kintyre. - Which we know is right.

0:37:50 > 0:37:52Barbara Ann by New Order.

0:37:52 > 0:37:53Barbara Ann by New Order.

0:37:53 > 0:37:56Alexander And Richard Sing The Smurfs.

0:37:56 > 0:37:58Yes, Alexander And Richard Sing The Smurfs.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01- That's our final answer. - LAUGHTER

0:38:01 > 0:38:03And who wrote...? Who is that by?

0:38:03 > 0:38:05- The White Stripes. - The White Stripes.

0:38:05 > 0:38:09By The White Stripes - Alexander And Richard Sing The Smurfs. OK.

0:38:09 > 0:38:12Of those three answers... LAUGHTER

0:38:13 > 0:38:17..er, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:17 > 0:38:19- I think it's Alexander and Richard. - I think so.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21OK, Alexander And Richard Sing The Smurfs,

0:38:21 > 0:38:23we'll put that last, shall we?

0:38:23 > 0:38:25Least likely to be pointless?

0:38:25 > 0:38:26- Mull of Kintyre.- I think, yeah,

0:38:26 > 0:38:28someone would have got that, wouldn't they?

0:38:28 > 0:38:30Mull of Kintyre, we'll put first.

0:38:30 > 0:38:32OK, well, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order, then.

0:38:32 > 0:38:34Here they are. We have got...

0:38:38 > 0:38:40Looks good.

0:38:40 > 0:38:41It looks good up there.

0:38:41 > 0:38:44I've never meant this more, but best of luck.

0:38:44 > 0:38:45LAUGHTER

0:38:46 > 0:38:48What would you do if you won that?

0:38:48 > 0:38:50What if one of these songs...

0:38:52 > 0:38:55..turns out to have been a top 40 hit for one of these bands

0:38:55 > 0:38:58and you win 1,000 quid? What would you do with your spoils?

0:38:58 > 0:38:59Anne, you first.

0:38:59 > 0:39:03First of all, I'd probably need some medical attention.

0:39:03 > 0:39:05And then I'd have piano lessons.

0:39:05 > 0:39:06Very good. Barbara?

0:39:06 > 0:39:08I'd put it towards a power pack

0:39:08 > 0:39:11so that I don't have to be tweaked all the time in this chair.

0:39:11 > 0:39:12Very good indeed.

0:39:12 > 0:39:15Very good. Well, very best of... BEST of luck.

0:39:15 > 0:39:18Let's find out if any of these are right.

0:39:18 > 0:39:21Um, Mull Of Kintyre. Mull Of Kintyre by Wings.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24Remember, in this case, we were looking for Wings UK top 40 singles.

0:39:24 > 0:39:26This is your least confident answer.

0:39:26 > 0:39:28Only one of them has to be pointless for you to win.

0:39:28 > 0:39:30Let's find out how many of our 100 people,

0:39:30 > 0:39:33for the jackpot of £1,000, said Mull of Kintyre.

0:39:36 > 0:39:37It's right.

0:39:40 > 0:39:44Down it goes through the 50s, through the 40s, into the 30s.

0:39:44 > 0:39:4735. 35 for Mull of Kintyre. APPLAUSE

0:39:47 > 0:39:48Not a bad answer.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54Not a pointless answer, though. Two more shots at today's jackpot.

0:39:54 > 0:39:56Your next answer was Barbara Ann.

0:39:56 > 0:39:58In this case, we were looking for New Order top 40 singles.

0:39:58 > 0:40:02If it's right and if it goes down to zero, it will win you £1,000.

0:40:02 > 0:40:05Let's see how many of our 100 people said Barbara Ann for new Order.

0:40:07 > 0:40:09Ah!

0:40:10 > 0:40:13- Should've been Anne Barbara. - It should've been.

0:40:13 > 0:40:14Of the two remaining answers,

0:40:14 > 0:40:17that was the most likely one to have been the surprise,

0:40:17 > 0:40:21but I'm afraid that has been cruelly ripped away from us.

0:40:21 > 0:40:24Which means you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.

0:40:24 > 0:40:26Everything is now riding...

0:40:26 > 0:40:31on Alexander And Richard Sing The Smurfs by The White Stripes.

0:40:31 > 0:40:34OK. This was your most confident answer.

0:40:34 > 0:40:37Let's find out if you're going to win the jackpot of £1,000 with this.

0:40:37 > 0:40:40Has to be pointless, obviously, if that's going to happen.

0:40:40 > 0:40:43Alexander And Richard Sing The Smurfs.

0:40:43 > 0:40:44Is it pointless?

0:40:47 > 0:40:48No.

0:40:49 > 0:40:51Ah, well, there we are.

0:40:52 > 0:40:54Well...

0:40:56 > 0:40:59..I have to say, faced with a nigh-on impossible board,

0:40:59 > 0:41:02- you did very, very well indeed. - Thank you.- A brave attempt.

0:41:02 > 0:41:05Unfortunately, you didn't find that all-important pointless answer,

0:41:05 > 0:41:07so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000.

0:41:07 > 0:41:09That will roll over to the next time,

0:41:09 > 0:41:11but it has been brilliant having you on the show,

0:41:11 > 0:41:12you've been wonderful contestants

0:41:12 > 0:41:15and a really decisive and impressive win in the head-to-head round.

0:41:15 > 0:41:16So very well done.

0:41:16 > 0:41:19And you get a Pointless trophy to take home each, so very well done.

0:41:19 > 0:41:21- Anne and Barbara, everyone. - Thank you. Thank you.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23APPLAUSE

0:41:29 > 0:41:32Unlucky. Of course, Alexander And Richard Sing The Smurfs

0:41:32 > 0:41:34was famously by The Blue Stripes.

0:41:34 > 0:41:37- Oh!- It's gutting, isn't it?

0:41:37 > 0:41:39Now, I know people at home

0:41:39 > 0:41:41will definitely have got pointless answers here.

0:41:41 > 0:41:43Big pointless answers for all three groups,

0:41:43 > 0:41:44so if you're a fan of any of these groups,

0:41:44 > 0:41:46I think you would have walked away with the money.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48Let's take a look at them. Wings, we will start with.

0:41:54 > 0:41:56Also, Mull of Kintyre had a double A-side very famously

0:41:56 > 0:41:59with Girls' School and that was a pointless answer as well.

0:41:59 > 0:42:00So very well done if you said that.

0:42:00 > 0:42:03Also could have had Hi, Hi, Hi, Helen Wheels, My Love

0:42:03 > 0:42:05and Old Siam, Sir. All of those pointless answers -

0:42:05 > 0:42:07well done if you said any of those.

0:42:07 > 0:42:08New Order now.

0:42:09 > 0:42:11Some big New Order songs here.

0:42:14 > 0:42:18In fact, every single New Order top 40 hit apart from Blue Monday,

0:42:18 > 0:42:19True Faith, Regret and Temptation -

0:42:19 > 0:42:22every single other one was a pointless answer,

0:42:22 > 0:42:24so if you said any of the others, you would have won the money.

0:42:24 > 0:42:27The White Stripes. A wonderful band, The White Stripes,

0:42:27 > 0:42:29six pointless answers here.

0:42:35 > 0:42:37The other two answers you could've had -

0:42:37 > 0:42:39Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground and You Don't Know What Love Is.

0:42:39 > 0:42:41Very well done if you got any of those at home.

0:42:41 > 0:42:43You've been brilliant throughout the whole show,

0:42:43 > 0:42:46sorry the jackpot round was not to your taste,

0:42:46 > 0:42:48- but great having you here.- Thank you.- Thanks very much, Richard.

0:42:48 > 0:42:51Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Anne and Barbara,

0:42:51 > 0:42:53but to echo what Richard says, it's been wonderful having you on.

0:42:53 > 0:42:56Thank you so much for playing. Anne and Barbara!

0:42:56 > 0:42:58APPLAUSE

0:43:00 > 0:43:02Well, sadly, Anne and Barbara didn't win our jackpot today,

0:43:02 > 0:43:06so it rolls over onto the next show, when we will be playing for £2,000.

0:43:06 > 0:43:09CHEERING

0:43:09 > 0:43:11Join us then to see if someone can win it.

0:43:11 > 0:43:13- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.

0:43:13 > 0:43:15And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
