0:00:20 > 0:00:23CHEERS AND APPLAUSE Thank you very much indeed. Hello.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:30the game where we strive for the obscure and we ignore the obvious.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34Let's meet today's players. APPLAUSE
0:00:35 > 0:00:39- And couple number one.- Well, I'm Lloyd and this is my son, Sion.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40We come from Llanerfyl,
0:00:40 > 0:00:45which is in the heart and the beautiful heart of Mid Wales.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Wonderful. Couple number two.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Martin, and this is my lovely wife Kathleen and we
0:00:50 > 0:00:53come from East London, this time.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Graham.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59This is my sister, Madelyn, and we come from Liverpool.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- And finally, couple number four. - Hi, I'm Beth.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05This is my friend Steph and we're from Aberdeen.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07And these are today's contestants. APPLAUSE
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Well, thank you very much, all of you, a warm welcome.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14We'll find out more throughout the show, as it goes along,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20He's known as Boss Man Osman, but only in his own house.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21It hasn't really caught on here.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- CHEERS AND APPLAUSE - Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- Good afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32What a run of shows we're having at the moment.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Now, on the last one, Madelyn and Graham were on the last one.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Got knocked out in round one,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39so hopefully we'll see more of you this time.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Kathleen and Martin got all the way through to the head-to-head.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Didn't they?- It was largely Kathleen, if we're going to be honest, Martin, wasn't it?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48But you did get through to the head-to-head,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51played against Sandy and Jenny, who played for that £10,250 jackpot,
0:01:51 > 0:01:55and did not win it, so it goes up again.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- We welcome our two new pairs. You did English at university.- I did.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04- Does Steph and Beth rhyme?- Not really. They're sort of half rhymes. - Close, isn't it?
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- Yeah.- Cos, as you know, I like rhyming contestants.- You do.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10I mean, it's good enough.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- It's not bad.- It's good enough. - It really sounds like it does.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- I mean, Steph and Beth... - Beth and Steph...
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Beth and Steph...- Steph and Beth...
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Steph and Beth.- Yeah, that rhymes.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22It rhymes. Let's say it rhymes.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27Anyway, the upshot is Sandy and Jenny didn't win the jackpot last time. This is the big news.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29So that means we add another £1,000 to it,
0:02:29 > 0:02:33so today's jackpot starts off at £11,250.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Colossal. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43APPLAUSE
0:02:47 > 0:02:51You don't need me to tell you this, but I'm going to tell you all the same, the pair with the
0:02:51 > 0:02:54highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55That's it.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category this afternoon is...
0:03:00 > 0:03:04The Royal Family. Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first and who
0:03:04 > 0:03:06is going to go second?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16OK, and our question concerns...
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Royal Christenings, Richard.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23We are about to show you a photograph of a royal christening.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27You just need to name any of the people in the photograph you're about to see, please.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29So, who's the most obscure person you're about to see?
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Thanks very much. OK, so as Richard explained, we're going to put an image up
0:03:33 > 0:03:36and that image will stay up for the entire round.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38You just have to name anyone in that image.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42The more obscure, the better. Here is the image.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44There we are.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48There we are. Just name anyone in that image.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51And, Lloyd, we come to you first. Welcome to Pointless.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- Great to have you here. Say that beautiful name again.- Llanerfyl.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58No, no. Lloyd. No, no, no. Llanerfyl.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Llanerfyl.- Yes.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04What do you do, Lloyd?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Semi-retired businessman now,
0:04:06 > 0:04:10but I still sort of keep my hand in various bits and pieces,
0:04:10 > 0:04:14but I'm trying to sort of get into a state of sort of semi-retirement.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18OK, what are the bits and pieces? I've never heard a more evasive answer in my life!
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Well, I sort of do a bit of dibbling and dabbling and just
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- a little bit of... - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- He's on the run, isn't he?- Yeah.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Certainly, if we want something, Lloyd could probably get it for us.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32OK, and what do you like getting up to when you're not dibbling or dabbling?
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Well, I quite enjoy going to motorsport events and that
0:04:36 > 0:04:40sort of thing and I quite enjoy cycling.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- OK.- Away from the authorities!
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- I was going to say! Exactly.- Getaway car, I think.- Yes, there we go.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Now, Lloyd, there is this beautiful photograph.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54We need you to name any person in that photograph.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Right.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Erm...
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Well, I'll go for Princess Charlotte.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Princess Charlotte. Princess Charlotte, says Lloyd.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Let's see how many of our 100 people said Princess Charlotte.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15It's right.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17And it scores you 51. There we are.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20APPLAUSE Not bad.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Good start, Lloyd. Yes, it was her christening.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- There she is, in the christening gown.- There she is.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Typical Princess Charlotte.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- That's her.- Isn't that just her? She always wears...
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- That kind of baby look she's got. - Yeah.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Inscrutable, isn't she?- Inscrutable.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Thanks very much indeed. Now, Martin, welcome.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Now, we discovered last time you trade in commodities.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- Yeah.- Which you do from home. - I do now, yeah.- See, that's nice.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49You were saying that you used to have to turn up and be on the
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Exchange itself. What are the big differences?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Well, it's all done on computer now, it's just computer trading.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58It's a bit boring, but that's what it is now.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- Are you there when the market opens? - Oh, yeah.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Do you have your own little noise, that goes - whaarrk?
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- I was going to buy one, but I haven't got one at the moment, no. - OK. Well, if you win, you could put
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- your winnings towards that. - Yes.- There we are.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Now, Martin, anyway, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:06:13 > 0:06:14Well, it's a lovely picture.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17And this is probably going to get me divorced,
0:06:17 > 0:06:21but I'm going to have to go for Prince Charles, I'm afraid.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Prince Charles. Little-known member of the royal family.- Exactly.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Martin, there we are.- I'm just off.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Let's see how many of our 100 people spotted Prince Charles
0:06:30 > 0:06:31lurking in there.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Oh-ee!
0:06:35 > 0:06:38There you go. 87, Martin. APPLAUSE
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Yeah, Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, there he is.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47You can just see him. Can you see him there in the blue tie?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- There he is. That's Prince Charles. - There we go.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54He was christened in Buckingham Palace in 1948, in the Music Room.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Much more fun. Much more fun.- They got a couple of decks...- Yeah, yeah.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Prince Edward DJs there. - If a really clever person could name the people in the portraits
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- behind, would that count as well? - No.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- OK.- I'll name the people in the portraits, so no-one can say them.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11The one on the right, that is a young Cheryl Cole.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15And the one on the left is Anthea Turner.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Thank you very much indeed. Now, Graham, welcome back.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Remind us what you do, Graham. - I'm a legal accounts assistant for a law firm in Liverpool.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Is it just a general law firm, or do they specialise in particular...?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31They work in all kinds of different markets.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- Shipping, insurance, business services, health.- Right you are.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38I see. OK. And when you leave the office behind,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- what do you like to go off and do? - I play quite a lot of sport.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45I like music and films, American TV shows.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48OK, now, how are you feeling about this, as a round generally?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Erm...
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Not great. - What would you like to go for?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Prince Charles has gone, by the way.- Yeah.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57He's left the building.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01I'm going to go for Camilla Parker Bowles.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05OK, Camilla Parker Bowles, says Graham. Let's see if that's right.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Let's see how many of our 100 people said Camilla Parker Bowles.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16There we are. 67. APPLAUSE
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Yeah, there she is, the Duchess of Cornwall.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Interesting fact about her -
0:08:22 > 0:08:26she is married to the Prince of Wales.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Prince Charles. They are married to each other.- It's almost why...
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Why they're there.- Well, they're standing next to each other.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- They're very nicely accessorised, aren't they? The two of them.- Yeah.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41- Lovely. Now, then, Steph.- Hello. - Steph. Welcome. Here from Aberdeen.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- Yes.- What do you do up in Aberdeen, Steph?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I'm on a graduate scheme at an oil and gas company.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49I thought you said at "an annoying gas company." That...
0:08:49 > 0:08:53"I bet they're fine!" An oil and gas company. Plenty of that in Aberdeen.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- Yeah. - How are you enjoying it?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Yeah, it's really good. I've done a year and a half now, so...
0:08:57 > 0:08:59How many graduates went along on the scheme with you?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02They were mainly engineers. There was about 20 engineers, but...
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Did you know any of them? - Erm, I knew one.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- That's enough, isn't it?- Yeah. - Just to ease you in.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11But, no, it's gone well? And do you think you'll stay with them?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- Yeah, probably.- Very good indeed. - If they keep me.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Now, Steph, what do you do when you're not working for them?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I do musical theatre. I'm into am-dram and stuff, so...
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Have you got anything on the go at the moment?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Yeah, I'm actually just about to audition for Made In Dagenham.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Superb. Brilliant.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29So you've got to try and fit the rehearsals in around work. That's
0:09:29 > 0:09:31going to get quite tough, isn't it, as you get close to opening night?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- Or is it all right?- It's fine. It's busy, but it's fun.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37OK, now, Steph - who would you like to go for in this photograph?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I'm completely doubting myself.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44I feel like it's really obvious, but, erm...
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Pippa Middleton.- Pippa Middleton, says Steph. Pippa Middleton.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:09:57 > 0:10:0040. Our lowest score so far. APPLAUSE
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Very well done indeed, Steph.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Very good answer.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07There's Pippa Middleton, back row, second from the left.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- Thank you very much indeed, Richard.- Pleasure.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12We are halfway through this round,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14so let's just take a quick look at those scores.
0:10:14 > 0:10:1740, the best score of the pass. Very well done, indeed, Steph and Beth.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Looking pretty good on that far podium,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20then we travel up to 51, Lloyd and Sion,
0:10:20 > 0:10:24then we travel up to 67, where we find Graham and Madelyn,
0:10:24 > 0:10:26and then up to 87, where we find Martin and Kathleen.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Kathleen,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31once again, I'm afraid, you've got to dig Martin out. I'm sorry.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32- It falls to you. - Used to it.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Beth and Steph, over there on 40. Beth, what do you do?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I'm on a graduate scheme as well,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47but I do marketing for a finance company in Edinburgh.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49How's it going? Are you happy with it? Marketing?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Good, yeah. I've just been there six months,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54so I do four a rotation, so about to change teams.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I see, and how long before they then offer you a job?
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Well, it's a two-year scheme.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01If one of them's watching now, and is particularly impressed, maybe
0:11:01 > 0:11:06by how well you know the royals, they might promote you a bit sooner.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11- Maybe.- Maybe. There you are. Now, Beth, you're on 40.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13The high scorers at the moment are on 87,
0:11:13 > 0:11:1747 points ahead of you. If you could score 46 or less,
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- you are definitely into Round Two. - OK.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21What are you going to go for on this board?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- Erm, I'm going to go for Carole Middleton.- Carole Middleton.- Yeah.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Very good. Very good. Now, there is your red line.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31If Carole Middleton gets you below that red line,
0:11:31 > 0:11:32you are through to Round Two.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35How many of our 100 people said Carole Middleton?
0:11:37 > 0:11:38It's right.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43And you are through. Very well done.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Look at that! That's a great answer. 18.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48APPLAUSE 58 is your total.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Very well played.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Yeah, the grandmother of Princess Charlotte, of course.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Standing next to the Prince of Wales, though not married to him...
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- No.- ..because he's married to the other lady.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- The lady on his left.- Correct. - There we are. Thank you, Richard.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04So, then, Madelyn.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Hello.- Madelyn, we come to you. Now, remind us what you do, Madelyn.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I'm a mental health practitioner in a community mental health team.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13That's right. And what do you get up to for fun?
0:12:13 > 0:12:18- I enjoy pub quizzes, board games, saving up for holidays.- Very good.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Now, then, Madelyn. 67. 87, the high scorers.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- 19 or less is what you want. What would you like to go for?- OK.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Erm, I wish I had a better answer,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30but I'm going to have to go with Prince George.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33You're going to go with Prince George. Prince George.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34There's your red line.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Let's see if Prince George gets you below that red line.
0:12:44 > 0:12:4664. APPLAUSE.
0:12:46 > 0:12:4964 for Prince George, taking you up to 131.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Not a bad answer at all,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53given some of the names that are still up there.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- There he is, the little fella on the bench.- There he is.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Prince George, Princess Charlotte's...
0:12:57 > 0:12:59They're brother and sister.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- The two of them.- Get out of town! - Yeah!- Are they?
0:13:02 > 0:13:05It's so weird, cos also, she's a princess and he's a prince,
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- and they are also brother and sister.- Yeah.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12- That is...- You've got to say, he is genuinely quite cute.- Yeah.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- Got to hand it to him. - I have a pair of red shorts.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18RICHARD CHUCKLES
0:13:18 > 0:13:21A pair of red velvet shorts that I... Yes.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23I occasionally wear them on the show, don't I?
0:13:23 > 0:13:27We should recreate this photo at some point, shouldn't we?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I'll be Camilla Parker Bowles.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- You can be Prince George. - OK. With my smocking?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Which I also have, obviously.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Thank you very much indeed. Now, Kathleen. Kathleen.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Little bit of pressure off now. Phew!
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Remind us what you do, Kathleen.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I'm an image consultant, and so I help ladies with their image,
0:13:48 > 0:13:50showing them how that helps with their confidence.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53See that, I think, as you said last time, that is enormous fun,
0:13:53 > 0:13:54isn't it?
0:13:54 > 0:13:59- Lots of fun.- Is it ever a bit of a challenge?- Er, yeah, cos...
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Er, some people want me to help them,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- but they don't always want me to help them...- Help themselves...
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Oh, I see. Oh, sorry, I'm just putting words into your mouth!
0:14:07 > 0:14:10But they don't want to pay you...
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Yeah, that's the other thing!
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Or they don't want as much help as I need to give them.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Yes. What's the first thing you do when you sit down with somebody?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Someone comes along - do you go out and have coffee with them?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Yeah, and I just sort of say to them, you know,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25"What is the things that you love about what you've got,
0:14:25 > 0:14:27"and what are the things you think you would like to change?"
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- Very good.- I know what I want to change, but I want them to tell me.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34OK, excellent, well said. Now, 87 is your score.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36The high scorers are now Madelyn and Graham on 131,
0:14:36 > 0:14:40so 43 or less keeps you in the game.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Remember, we're looking for anybody shown in this picture.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Well, there's a couple of Middletons there,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50and I'm not quite sure of their first names,
0:14:50 > 0:14:54but I'm going to go for David Middleton.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56David Middleton.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59David Middleton. There is your red line.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01If you can get below that with David Middleton,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04you're through to the next round. Is David Middleton right, though?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Bad luck. Good guess, though, but, I'm afraid, incorrect.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15187 is now your total.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Yeah, sorry, Kathleen. David Middleton not invited.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20He should have been!
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Big Dave not invited after Prince George's christening. He made...
0:15:23 > 0:15:28- He was up on the tables.- That was an inappropriate speech, I think.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Yeah, it wasn't great, and, you know,
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Charles had stuck his credit card behind the bar, and Dave,
0:15:33 > 0:15:35you know, he took the mick, to be honest.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36Yeah. Yeah.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37- You know what I mean?- Yeah.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40He invited some of his mates in, you think, "It's a private function".
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- "Some?" - Yeah, "some"! I know, right?
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Now, Sion. Welcome. Great to have you here. What do you do, Sion?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50I recently had a job call - care assistant -
0:15:50 > 0:15:53and, weirdly enough, I actually said, "I'm going on Pointless,"
0:15:53 > 0:15:55and they actually gave me the job there, so thank you.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- There you are! - Yay!
0:15:57 > 0:15:59There was a horrible moment when I thought you were going to say,
0:15:59 > 0:16:04- "I work for my dad". - No, no, no, no, no, no!
0:16:04 > 0:16:07He'd probably strangle me before I worked for him.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10I keep looking at Lloyd, and thinking, "Mm, poached salmon. Mm!"
0:16:12 > 0:16:14It is a bit.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17He's got a touch of the Dave Middletons about him, Lloyd,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- hasn't he? - He certainly has!
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Oh, yeah. And how! Sion, what are your interests?
0:16:23 > 0:16:26I am a very big fan of Arsenal Football Club,
0:16:26 > 0:16:31- and as I'm Welsh, I follow the rugby very big.- Good stuff.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33OK, now, Sion, you're on 51.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Here's good news - doesn't matter what you score, you are through
0:16:36 > 0:16:40to the next round, but, Sion, do you want to talk us through the board?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Erm, it's JAMES Middleton, I think.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Duke of Edinburgh, you've got Queen.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Oh, the Queen, that's who it is(!) You know what?
0:16:50 > 0:16:53I've been looking at it the whole time, thinking,
0:16:53 > 0:16:54"I know her from somewhere!"
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Course it is.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I can't remember the father of the Middletons,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02but I think I'll go for James Middleton.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04James Middleton, says Sion.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08No red line for you, as you're already through.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12It is right.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16I think it's going to be quite depressive.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Yes, it is. Look at that, 15. Very well done indeed.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20APPLAUSE
0:17:20 > 0:17:22The lowest score, in fact, of the round,
0:17:22 > 0:17:24taking your total up to 66. Very well done.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Very nicely played indeed, Sion.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Only one answer up there that would have beaten that.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Yeah, James Middleton is Pippa and Kate's brother.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Let's start on the bench, see what scores people have got.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35There's Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38He would have scored you 88 points.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41The Duchess of Cambridge, a wonderful mum and a great pub.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- She would have scored you... - LAUGHTER
0:17:43 > 0:17:45She would have scored you 85.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48The Queen would have scored 91.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52People have got to name all of them. Do you know what?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I think in the 100 seconds,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56people who really know what they're doing are trying to name some of
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- the obscure ones, and they sort of forget about the Queen.- Yeah.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Erm, there's the Duke of Edinburgh.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03He would have scored you 70 points.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Not a bad one to go for. 70 points for that, and the father,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09the poor father who no-one has named, is the best answer on
0:18:09 > 0:18:13the board - Michael Middleton - and it would have scored you 7 points.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- There we are.- Big Mick Middleton, there on the left.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Cannot believe his luck.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Look at that.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26So, at the end of our first round, the pair we're saying goodbye to,
0:18:26 > 0:18:30with 187 on their score card, I'm afraid, Martin and Kathleen.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32You were our golden couple last time.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- Oh! Kathleen, you should have gone first.- I should have done.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- You should. - That's true, actually, yeah.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Ah, well. Martin, Kathleen, it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Thank you.- Sorry we have to say goodbye to you so soon in this show,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45but thanks so much for playing. Kathleen and Martin.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48APPLAUSE
0:18:48 > 0:18:50But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58And so three pairs remain.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00At the end of this round, obviously, we will have to say goodbye
0:19:00 > 0:19:04to another pair, but very well done, all of you. Sion.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Sion, the best answer of the round.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Very well done indeed, with James Middleton.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11But the lowest combined score - Steph and Beth.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12You went the Middleton route.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16You had Carole AND Pippa, which proved to be quite a useful pairing.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18So, anyway, congratulations to all three pairs.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22Best of luck with this round. Our category for it this afternoon is...
0:19:24 > 0:19:25It's going to be literature.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29who's going to go second?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38OK, and the question concerns...
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Non-fiction books, Richard.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45On each board, we're going to show you the names of six authors,
0:19:45 > 0:19:47and the names of books they wrote that are on the
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Time Magazine 100 top non-fiction books of all time,
0:19:49 > 0:19:51but we've missed out the last word of each of those books.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53All you've got to do is fill in that word, please.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55There's going to be 12 in all to have a go at at home,
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- so very best of luck. - Thanks, Richard.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59OK, so we are looking for the missing words in these
0:19:59 > 0:20:02nonfiction book titles, and here is our first list of 12.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32There we go.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33Lloyd, you will go first.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38I know a couple of them.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42I'm going to go for the top one - All The President's Men.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44All The President's Men, says Lloyd.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Let's see how many of our 100 people agree with that.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50It's right.
0:20:52 > 0:20:5563. APPLAUSE
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Not bad. 63.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Yep, co-written with Bob Woodward, of course,
0:20:59 > 0:21:02with whom he uncovered the Watergate scandal.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Thanks, Richard. Graham.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07What are you going to go for on this board?
0:21:09 > 0:21:12I'm afraid I don't know any of these,
0:21:12 > 0:21:13so I'm going to have a guess.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I'm going to say The Selfish Man - Richard Dawkins.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19The Selfish Man.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Let's see if that's right, The Selfish Man, for Richard Dawkins.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24How many of our 100 people thought that?
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Bad luck, Graham. I'm afraid not The Selfish Man.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33That scores you 100 points.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Sorry. It may not be the last 100 points score in the round, though.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Yeah, sorry, Graham.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- I'll give the correct answer at the end of the pass.- OK.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Thanks, Richard. Now, Steph. - Yeah.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Steph, from off of Steph and Beth.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47What would you like to go for? That board is all yours.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51It's really bad. I can't actually think of any...
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- STEPH CHUCKLES - ..so I'm going to have to guess.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57You're off to a flying start on the third one - it's not "man."
0:21:57 > 0:21:58Yeah, OK, good!
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Erm...
0:22:01 > 0:22:03I'm just going to go for The Double Act.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07The Double Act. The Double Act, by James D Watson.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Let's see if that's right.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- Bad luck, Steph. Well, you're in very good company.- That's good.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18- Thanks, Graham. - There you are.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20I'm afraid that scores you 100 points, but, as I say,
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Graham is alongside you.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Sorry, Steph. Let's fill in that board.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I am going to predict you can get all of these, apart from one.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- That is my prediction.- I think... - I think you know the bottom one?
0:22:28 > 0:22:32- The Naked Ape. - The Naked Ape, by Desmond Morris.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- 29 points for that. A Moveable...? - Feast. I know that one.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Hemingway. 26.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- The Double...? - Helix.- Yeah, absolutely.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Watson and Crick, of course, discovered the double helix,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- within the DNA. 5 points for that. The Selfish...?- Gene.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46The Selfish Gene, by Richard Dawkins.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- I think I know this one as well. - This is the one... Oh, really?- Yeah.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- No Logo.- No Logo, very well played, yeah.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54That's the best answer on the board - 3 points, if you got that.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Thank you very much indeed.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57OK, well, we're halfway through the round.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Let's take a look at those scores.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Only two scores between the three pairs.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Lloyd - there you are, the champion of the pass, Lloyd.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Lloyd and Sion on 63, looking very strong.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Then, Steph and Beth and Graham and Madelyn, all on 100 there.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Best of luck. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20OK, we're going to put six more authors and books with blanks
0:23:20 > 0:23:22on the board, and here they are.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I'll read those all one last time.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00There we go. Now, Beth.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Does that fill you with despair?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- No, this is much better than the first round for me.- Phew.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- Phew. - I know a couple, but I think
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- I'll go In Cold Blood, Truman Capote.- In Cold Blood, says Beth.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14No red line for you, as you're joint high scorers,
0:24:14 > 0:24:18but let's see how far down the column you get with In Cold Blood.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22It's right.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Look at that. 25. Very well done indeed. Our lowest score of
0:24:29 > 0:24:33the round so far. 125 is your total. APPLAUSE
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Well played, Beth.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38An incredible book about a series of murders in 1959.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Thanks, Richard. Madelyn.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43You now have a target - 24 or less is what we need from you.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Yes, I'm not sure if I'm going to meet that target.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I was going to say the same answer,
0:24:48 > 0:24:51but I'm going to have to go with the only other one that I know, which is
0:24:51 > 0:24:54How To Win Friends And Influence People.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57How To Win Friends And Influence People, for Dale Carnegie.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58There is your red line.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Get below that with People, and you are in the head-to-head.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Let's see how many of our 100 people said
0:25:03 > 0:25:05How To Win Friends And Influence People.
0:25:13 > 0:25:1558, Madelyn. APPLAUSE
0:25:15 > 0:25:20158 is your score. You're still in with a chance, though.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Yeah, well played, Madelyn. One of the first self-help books.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Thank you, Richard. Now, Sion.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30You need to score 94 or less. Do you want to talk us through the board?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- SION CHUCKLES - There's no way that's happening.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Erm, I did know those two, actually, so...
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Er...
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Zen And The Art Of The Motorcycle Rider.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Rider. OK. Here is your red line.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Nice and high.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53You just have to get below it. Let's see - will Rider do it?
0:25:53 > 0:25:55How many of our 100 people said it?
0:25:59 > 0:26:04No, I'm sorry, Sion. So near, but I'm afraid, so far.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07There weren't many nice ones left on the board by the time it got to you.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10I'm afraid that scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 163.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Yeah, sorry, Sion. So, the bottom one is...
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Maintenance. - Motorcycle Maintenance. Absolutely.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Would have scored 20 points.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Right up at the top, I Know Why The Caged Bird...
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- ..Sings. - Sings.- Maya Angelou.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- 26 points. Fast Food... - Nation.- Nation. Eric Schlosser.
0:26:27 > 0:26:306 points for that, and do you know this last one?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- No. - It's Godel, Escher, Bach.- Ah.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Would have scored you 2 points.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37About the relationship between art and music and science,
0:26:37 > 0:26:39all sorts of things. Very well done if you said Bach.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Thank you.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Now, we are at the end of our second round, and we have to say goodbye
0:26:43 > 0:26:47to another pair, and I'm afraid the pair in question is Sion and Lloyd.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I'm so sorry. Oh, Lloyd, I thought, once again,
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Sion was just going to come up with the perfect answer there.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Oh. We will see you again next time, though.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57We'll look forward to that very much indeed, but, meantime,
0:26:57 > 0:26:59thanks very much. Sion and Lloyd.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01APPLAUSE
0:27:01 > 0:27:04But, for Steph and Beth and Madelyn and Graham,
0:27:04 > 0:27:06it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Congratulations, Steph and Beth, and Madelyn and Graham,
0:27:14 > 0:27:17you're now one step closer to the final, and a chance to play
0:27:17 > 0:27:23for that jackpot, which, lest we forget, stands currently at £11,250.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25APPLAUSE AND CHEERS
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Well, you don't need me to tell you what happens in the head-to-head.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Big thing is you're allowed to confer.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Steph and Beth, first time on the show,
0:27:36 > 0:27:38straight through as our low-scoring couple,
0:27:38 > 0:27:41our golden couple in the head-to-head, so congratulations.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Madelyn and Graham, out Round One last time.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Now within touching distance of that huge jackpot.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Congratulations, and massive good luck to both of you.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54APPLAUSE
0:27:57 > 0:28:01OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:03 > 0:28:05US states. Richard.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07We're going to show you some pairs of pictures now,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10and each pair represents a US state, but which state?
0:28:10 > 0:28:14OK, let's reveal our five pairs of pictures, and here they are.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15We've got...
0:28:44 > 0:28:47There we go.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50OK, now, Steph and Beth, you have been our low scorers
0:28:50 > 0:28:53throughout the show so far, so you will go first.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:29:00 > 0:29:04- OK, we'll go for A, Colorado. - Colorado, A, say Steph and Beth.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Now, Madelyn and Graham,
0:29:06 > 0:29:08do you want to take us through the rest of the board?
0:29:08 > 0:29:14Erm, OK, so I think B is Washington. D is Pennsylvania.
0:29:14 > 0:29:19E is Louisiana, and I think C looks like Rhode Island,
0:29:19 > 0:29:22but I didn't think that was a state.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Erm, so what shall we go for? Pennsylvania?
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Pennsylvania will be a safe bet.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31- Pennsylvania, D.- Yep. - OK, Pennsylvania.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33So, we have Colorado, and we have Pennsylvania.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Now, Steph and Beth went for Colorado for A.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Let's see if that's right,
0:29:37 > 0:29:39and let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:29:43 > 0:29:44It's right.
0:29:48 > 0:29:5039. APPLAUSE
0:29:53 > 0:29:5539 for Colorado.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Now, Madelyn and Graham have gone for Pennsylvania for D.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06It is right.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11- Oh, no!- 68. APPLAUSE
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Well done, Steph and Beth. After only one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Yeah, I should explain - those are the Sylvanian Families figures,
0:30:17 > 0:30:22in case anyone at home is completely nonplussed by that.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25It's actually the biggest answer on the board, and you did know all the
0:30:25 > 0:30:28others, and there's one that would have won you the point, as well.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29Not B, B is Washington.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34Would have scored you too many, would have scored you 57.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37It's not C - that is Rhode Island.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40And that would have scored you 54. It's E.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42E is the best answer by quite some way, actually.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45It's Louise Redknapp and Jana Novotna. Louisiana.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48That would have scored you 15.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49If you don't recognise either of them,
0:30:49 > 0:30:52it's almost impossible to work out.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- There you are.- You happy with that? Louisiana?- I AM happy with that.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57I was just enjoying the view along that road.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01It looked like a road in Northern Ireland, the road in Rhode Island.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05I was enjoying the view of the island on that, so...
0:31:05 > 0:31:06Oh, that's nice!
0:31:06 > 0:31:09So that picture would be perfect for us, if we lived together.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11We'd have that picture up, and both of us would be happy.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13On the wall, exactly, yeah.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15And we DO live together, by the way.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17I'd be going, "Oh, look at my island."
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- You'd be all, "Oh, look at my road." - "Look at my lovely road."
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Anyway, back to Pointless. Here comes your second question.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Madelyn and Graham, you get to answer it first,
0:31:25 > 0:31:27but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Our second question concerns...
0:31:32 > 0:31:34What about that? Oh!
0:31:34 > 0:31:37We're going to show you five names now of things you might have
0:31:37 > 0:31:38for Christmas dinner in the UK,
0:31:38 > 0:31:40but we're giving them to you in anagram form.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Can you unscramble them, please?
0:31:42 > 0:31:46There we are. Let's reveal our five anagrams, and here they are.
0:31:46 > 0:31:47We have got...
0:31:58 > 0:32:00I'm going to read those one last time.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Madelyn and Graham will go first.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14(Do you think it's Brussels sprouts on the bottom?)
0:32:14 > 0:32:16- (Brussels sprouts?) - (Yeah, yeah.)
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Er, OK, we only know a few of those,
0:32:18 > 0:32:21but we're going to have to go with the bottom one.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24- We think it's Brussels sprouts. - Brussels sprouts.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28Brussels sprouts, say Madelyn and Graham. OK, Steph and Beth.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Talk us through the rest of our Christmas dinner there.
0:32:30 > 0:32:35OK, we think the top one's stuffing, then cranberry sauce.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40Then turkey. Not sure about the fourth one.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44- Erm...- Cranberry sauce.- Yeah. We'll go for cranberry sauce.
0:32:44 > 0:32:45Cranberry sauce, brace racy runes.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48So, we have Brussels sprouts, and we have cranberry sauce.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Madelyn and Graham said Brussels sprouts, so let's see if
0:32:50 > 0:32:53that's right, and let's see how many of our 100 people spotted that.
0:32:56 > 0:32:57It's right.
0:33:02 > 0:33:0329. APPLAUSE
0:33:06 > 0:33:0729, not bad.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Steph and Beth have gone for cranberry sauce.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Let's see if that's right, and let's see how many people said that.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19It's right.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Will it beat 29?
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Yes, it will! Oh, well done, look at that.
0:33:23 > 0:33:279! 9 for cranberry sauce! APPLAUSE
0:33:27 > 0:33:31Which means - that's pretty definitive - Steph and Beth,
0:33:31 > 0:33:34after only two questions, you are straight through to the final 2-0.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- Very good, Steph and Beth, aren't they?- Mm.- They really are.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41Very well played. Up the top there, yeah, it's stuffing.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44I'm going to start calling it "stiff gnu." From next Christmas onwards.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48- Yeah.- 54 points for that. Would you like some "stiff gnu?"
0:33:48 > 0:33:49Every time!
0:33:49 > 0:33:51"With your turkey?"
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Big scorer, turkey.
0:33:54 > 0:33:59- 95 points. 95 points. More famous than the Queen.- Wow.
0:34:01 > 0:34:06Imagine that. And the best answer on the board, "drat be by turn."
0:34:06 > 0:34:08- Oh, no, I... - You'd have this with your dessert.
0:34:08 > 0:34:13- Oh! Brandy butter. There we go. - Brandy butter. 4 points for that.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14Very well done if you said that.
0:34:14 > 0:34:15Thank you very much.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:18 > 0:34:21I'm afraid, Madelyn and Graham, but a brilliant performance today.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Much, much better, and great to see much more of you in this show.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25I'm sorry you didn't get quite as much of
0:34:25 > 0:34:27a look-in as you'd have liked, though.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29I'm sorry that we're sending you home,
0:34:29 > 0:34:30but it's been great having you on.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32- Thank you so much for playing. Madelyn and Graham.- Thank you.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:34:36 > 0:34:40But, for Steph and Beth, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Well, congratulations, Steph and Beth.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47You have seen off all the competition,
0:34:47 > 0:34:49and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:34:58 > 0:35:04and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £11,250.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07APPLAUSE AND CHEERS
0:35:09 > 0:35:11I mean, incredible. Incredible.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Every single round, you've been our low scorers,
0:35:13 > 0:35:16and then the head-to-head round, 2-0. It's very good.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19I tell you what, if I were running a graduate intake...
0:35:19 > 0:35:20LAUGHTER
0:35:20 > 0:35:23..maybe in marketing, or in oil and gas, something like that,
0:35:23 > 0:35:26in maybe Aberdeen or Edinburgh, I know exactly who I'd promote,
0:35:26 > 0:35:28perhaps slightly ahead of the game, if you know what I'm saying.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Anyway, you've done phenomenally well. Really very well.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Now, as always, in this round, you get to choose your category...
0:35:34 > 0:35:37..ish, from the four that we put up there.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40So, we just have to keep our fingers tightly crossed that there is
0:35:40 > 0:35:42something up there that you like the look of.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44So, today's selection looks like this.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56I don't know. "Girl" films?
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Well, "girl" films, would that be like chick flicks?
0:35:59 > 0:36:01- I think we probably have to go with that.- Yeah, go with that.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Don't think we could do much about the others.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06- You're going to go for "girl" films? - "Girl" films.- OK. "Girl" films.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10- Richard.- OK, very, very best of luck. £11,250 up for grabs here.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12You've been absolutely terrific all the way through.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15We're going to give this away at some point, this jackpot.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Let's see if it's today. Here are your three categories.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21We're looking for any cast member of the 1991 film, My Girl,
0:36:21 > 0:36:24any cast member of the 2014 film, Gone Girl,
0:36:24 > 0:36:28or of the 1999 film, Girl, Interrupted, so anybody
0:36:28 > 0:36:31credited with appearing in any of those films, according to IMDb.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Very, very best of luck.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Thanks very much indeed. Now, as always,
0:36:35 > 0:36:38you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of your answers
0:36:41 > 0:36:43- to be pointless. Are you ready? - Mm-hm.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Good. Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:36:46 > 0:36:47Your time starts now.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- Have you seen My Girl?- No, the only one I've seen is Gone Girl.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- OK, Gone Girl...- Rosamund Pike. - Neil Patrick Harris is in it.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- Oh, yeah, he's the bad... - He could be good. Erm...
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Everyone else is going to be too many.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00- I don't know anyone else that's... - I... I don't have a clue.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03OK. Girl, Interrupted, I know, like, Angelina Jolie and
0:37:03 > 0:37:07Winona Ryder are in it, but I don't know anyone that's, like, obscure.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08Will we guess?
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Yeah, will we say...?
0:37:10 > 0:37:14I mean, Winona Ryder, she's not that big NOW. We could say her.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- Yeah. Well...- Say her, and say Neil Patrick Harris for Gone Girl.- Yeah.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20And then will we just take a guess at someone that might have
0:37:20 > 0:37:21- been in one of them? - Yep.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23- Erm... - Erm...
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- Like, any cameo role in any of them. I...- I don't know.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31Well, Gillian Flynn wrote Gone Girl, I think, and I don't know if
0:37:31 > 0:37:33she was one of the people that did, like, a weird cameo.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34- Give it a go. - Will we just go with that?
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- Cos I don't know any, like, small actors.- I just don't know.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Ten seconds left.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41So we'll go Neil Patrick Harris, Gillian Flynn, just in case,
0:37:41 > 0:37:45- and Winona Ryder for Girl, Interrupted.- Yeah, give it a go.- OK.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48OK, there you are, just as your time runs out.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51I need your three answers, and they are...
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- Erm, Winona Ryder, Girl, Interrupted.- Winona Ryder.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- Neil Patrick Harris, Gone Girl. - Neil Patrick Harris.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- And Gillian Flynn, in case she did a cameo in Gone Girl.- Gillian Flynn.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03OK, why not? So, of those three,
0:38:03 > 0:38:06your best shot at a pointless answer - what do you think?
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- Neil Patrick Harris.- Yeah.- Neil Patrick Harris, we'll put him last.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:10 > 0:38:11Gillian Flynn's probably wrong, so...
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Gillian Flynn, we'll put first. OK, let's put those answers up on
0:38:14 > 0:38:17the board in that order, then, and here they are.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Well, very, very best of luck.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29Just before we put these answers to the test, let's just suppose...
0:38:29 > 0:38:34Let's just suppose that that jackpot is yours.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38£11,250 - what would you do with it? Steph first.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Well, I'm going to Malaysia with my boyfriend later in the year,
0:38:41 > 0:38:46so some of it would go towards doing nice things when we're there,
0:38:46 > 0:38:48and I got a house last year,
0:38:48 > 0:38:51so some would go towards home improvements and things like that.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Very good. Beth, how about you?
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Well, I'm hoping to buy a flat, either this year or next,
0:38:56 > 0:38:59so some of it would go towards that, and probably go on holiday as well.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03Excellent. Well, very, very best of luck. Three good answers.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Well, two good answers and a perfectly good punt there, for fun.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Let's hope, let's hope, one of those is pointless.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Your first answer was Gillian Flynn. In this case,
0:39:11 > 0:39:15we were looking for cast members of the film, Gone Girl.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Remember, only one of these answers has to be pointless
0:39:17 > 0:39:19for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21If Gillian Flynn is right, and nobody said it,
0:39:21 > 0:39:24you will leave here with £11,250.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Let's find out - how many people said Gillian Flynn?
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Is it a right answer?
0:39:33 > 0:39:34No, it's not.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36It's not, but wouldn't that have been fun?
0:39:36 > 0:39:38If she'd decided to have a cameo in her own film.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40So, there we are, not a pointless answer.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Your next answer was Winona Ryder.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Now, in this case,
0:39:46 > 0:39:48we were looking for cast members of the film, Girl, Interrupted.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52You have to hope nobody remembered Winona Ryder.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55If this is right, and pointless, which we hope it is,
0:39:55 > 0:39:57it will win you £11,250.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59How many people said Winona Ryder?
0:40:02 > 0:40:03It's right.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Gillian Flynn, your first answer, was incorrect,
0:40:06 > 0:40:08but Winona Ryder is absolutely right,
0:40:08 > 0:40:11taking us down through the 30s and the 20s, into the teens.
0:40:11 > 0:40:12Will we get to single figures?
0:40:12 > 0:40:15- Yes, we will. Look at that, 8. - That's all right.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18- APPLAUSE - Better than I thought.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22This is all moving in the right direction. Very well done.
0:40:22 > 0:40:23Not a pointless answer, though.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Only one more shot at today's jackpot.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Your third and final answer was Neil Patrick Harris.
0:40:28 > 0:40:29This is the one you put last.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32You thought it was your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34You're pretty sure it's right.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51Gillian Flynn, your first answer, was incorrect.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54Your second answer, Winona Ryder, took us all the way down to 8.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Neil Patrick Harris now taking us down into single figures, passing 8,
0:40:57 > 0:40:59down it goes, still going down, still going down...
0:40:59 > 0:41:00You've done it!

0:41:58 > 0:42:01Everybody in that film apart from Macaulay Culkin, Jamie Lee Curtis,
0:42:01 > 0:42:04Dan Aykroyd, and Anna Chlumsky was a pointless answer.
