0:00:29 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Hi, I'm Gabrielle,

0:01:02 > 0:01:04Thank you very much, all of you. A very warm welcome.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06We'll get to chat to each of you
0:01:06 > 0:01:07throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Brain of Britain, well, not just Britain,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16also brain of any sovereign state recognised by the UN,
0:01:16 > 0:01:18it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Hiya. Hello, everybody, good afternoon.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27- What a show we had last time. - I know.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30The jackpot had been building and building.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Steph and Beth got through to the final.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Lloyd and Sion, the only people from that show, they were lovely,
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Steph and Beth, would you agree?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Yes.- Yes.- You might change your mind when I tell you they won that
0:01:39 > 0:01:42£11,250.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Three new pairs, welcome along.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Lloyd and Sion, who were terrific last time.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Hopefully we'll see an awful lot more of them.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53First time we've ever had someone on the show called IK.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- It is.- The only other person in history to be called IK
0:01:55 > 0:01:58was Isambard Kingdom Brunel - that's what he used to call himself.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- IK.- Yeah, IK.- IK Brunel. That's good.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Shall we get on?
0:02:04 > 0:02:05ALEXANDER SIGHS
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Yes. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Steph and Beth won the jackpot last time,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15There it is. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16APPLAUSE
0:02:20 > 0:02:21OK, remember, the pair
0:02:21 > 0:02:25with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27No conferring in the first two rounds.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Best of luck. Our first category this afternoon
0:02:31 > 0:02:33is Words In Common.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Words In Common.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:37 > 0:02:38who is going to go second?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Things with "grand" in their name.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- Richard.- On each board we are going to show you seven questions.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56The answers to all those questions
0:02:56 > 0:02:58have the word "grand" in them somewhere.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01There will be 14 in all to have a go at at home, so very best of luck.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04So, we're looking for these things
0:03:04 > 0:03:06that contain the word "grand" in their name
0:03:06 > 0:03:08and here's our first board of seven clues and on it we have...
0:03:35 > 0:03:37I'll read those again as quickly as I can.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01There we are. Holly. Welcome to Pointless.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Great to have you here from Chester.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- What do you do there?- Studying law at the University of Law.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Right. Are you a graduate of another university,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- went on to the University of Law? - No, it's literally...
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Straight in.- It is literally your LLB,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18it's our degree, the first step to becoming a lawyer.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Very exciting. Has it been fun at Chester?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Hard.- At times.- Hard work.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Have you had time to have fun as well?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Not really because we're doing it in two years instead of three.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Why not do it in three? - I don't know.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Why? Do they give you the option of two years, of three years, I mean?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Yeah.- And you went, "No, we'll go for two years.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39"That way we won't have time for any fun at all."
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Maybe apart from going on occasional game shows.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Yeah. Holly, what would you like to go for?
0:04:46 > 0:04:50I would like to go for the 2014 film directed by Wes Anderson
0:04:50 > 0:04:54and I'm going to say The Grand Budapest Hotel.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Grand Budapest Hotel, says Holly. Let's see if that's right
0:04:57 > 0:04:59and let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06It's a good answer.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Down it goes. Look out.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Great start to the show - very well done indeed, Holly.
0:05:11 > 0:05:1313 for Grand Budapest Hotel.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Nice start, Holly. Well played.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Nominated for nine Oscars, won four of them as well.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Now, IK, welcome.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Thank you.- Welcome to Pointless. great to have you here from London.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26What do you do, IK?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I'm a health and safety officer.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Wow. In any particular industry?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Construction. I work for a construction company.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- What are your hobbies, IK? - I like to play a bit of sports,
0:05:38 > 0:05:40if my body allows me to.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Tennis, a bit of football.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I do a little bit of improv as well.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- Stand-up?- No, just improv, group improv.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Oh, that's fun. How long have you been doing that for?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54About ten-ish, ten-ish years.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56That's fun. Really good.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Now, IK, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I was going to go for that one, as everyone says.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08I only know two others and I will go for
0:06:08 > 0:06:12the name given to the four most important annual tennis tournaments.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Grand Slams.- Grand Slams, says IK.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16Let's see if that's right.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Let's see how many of our 100 people said Grand Slams.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22It's right.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Oh, 77.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27That's a punishing score there.
0:06:27 > 0:06:2977.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31An awful lot better than 100, though.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33The term Grand Slam originally comes from bridge,
0:06:33 > 0:06:36meaning to win all 13 tricks in a hand.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Slam. You don't really think of a slam in bridge, do you?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- Not really.- SLAM.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43It's more of a polite unfurling.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Yes. A Grand Slam.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48That'll make the tea cups jump.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50There we are.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Now, Katie, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55What do you do, Katie?
0:06:55 > 0:06:56I'm an English teacher.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Very good. Now, to whom do you teach English?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Secondary school kids, so they're about 12 to 16.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Through GCSE?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Yeah, absolutely.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Now, what's been your favourite set text
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- throughout the time you have been teaching?- Oh, that's so hard.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14I'm teaching Animal Farm at the moment, loving it.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- It's a really good one. - Have you - be honest -
0:07:16 > 0:07:19have you ever had a set text that even when you look at the cover,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22you think... HE YAWNS
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Or are they all brilliant?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25I like to be positive.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27You can see something good in every book.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31That means yes. There have been some absolute shockers.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Now then, Katie.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Yes.- What would you like to go for on this board?
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Um...
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Not a great board for me.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I'm afraid there's only one left up there
0:07:42 > 0:07:44that I know and that's the Grand National
0:07:44 > 0:07:46for the annual horse race. Play safe.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48The Grand National, says Katie.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50OK, let's see how many of our 100 people
0:07:50 > 0:07:51also went for the Grand National.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56It's right. Oh, 91.
0:07:56 > 0:07:5991, Katie, I'm sorry, that's high.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Better than 100. - It's much better than 100.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Always see the good in a score.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06There you are. You're in quite good company.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09IK's not terribly far behind you, so there we are.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I liked IK's applause at that one.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14That's the applause of a happy man.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Again, better than 100 if it's the only one you knew.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Well said. Now, Lloyd, we come to you.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Lloyd, remind us what you do.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I'm semi-retired.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I'm trying to get semi-retired,
0:08:29 > 0:08:31shall we put it like that?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34OK, I asked Lloyd several times last time what he did, never said.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Never quite got to the bottom of it, did we?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39No, he dibbled and he dabbled, he does this and that, bits and pieces.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42He's the only person who's ever left the studio with a police escort,
0:08:42 > 0:08:45so something, I don't know, something is up.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- Something is up. - They were my bodyguards.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48I see.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Lloyd, what do you like getting up to
0:08:50 > 0:08:52when you're not dibbling and dabbling?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I enjoy cycling in the summer, I enjoy cycling,
0:08:55 > 0:08:57my wife and I enjoy cycling.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00When you say cycling, do you go off on proper long cycling trips?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Oh, no, no, no. About 10, 12 miles, something like that.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Fairly flat, not too over-stretched.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Do you own cycling things?
0:09:08 > 0:09:12No. No. I do have a pair of Lycra shorts, though.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- OK.- That's why the police escorted him out of the building.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20LAUGHTER
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Now then, Lloyd, this board is all yours.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24You just feel free to help yourself
0:09:24 > 0:09:26to any bits that haven't been answered.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29OK, well, the train station is Grand Central.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32The weekly music is the Grand Ole Opry.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37The second largest city is probably Grand Rapids and the album,
0:09:37 > 0:09:38not a clue.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41So, I'll go for Grand Rapids.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Sounds good to me. Lloyd's going for Grand Rapids.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Let's see if he's right to do that.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Let's see how many of our 100 people agree with him.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52It's right. Very well done.
0:09:52 > 0:09:5413 is our lowest score.
0:09:54 > 0:09:5791 and 77 you've passed already and you pass 13.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Eight, very well done indeed.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Great score, Lloyd.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Eight for Grand Rapids, Michigan.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06That was beautifully played, Lloyd,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08I applaud your bravery there because I was thinking the same,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11it must be Grand Rapids, but to actually go for it is very gutsy.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Very well done - it's the best score of the ones you knew,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16because you are right about Grand Central.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Grand Central is a big scorer, though.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21It would have scored you 71 points.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23The Grand Ole Opry...
0:10:23 > 0:10:26would have scored you 19.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Wouldn't have been a bad answer at all. The best answer on the board is
0:10:29 > 0:10:32the album by The Streets, which is A Grand Don't Come For Free.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34That would have scored you six points.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Very well done if you said that. - Thanks very much.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39We're halfway through the round, so let's look at those scores.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Eight, the best the best score of that pass, Lloyd.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Lloyd and Sion, looking pretty strong on the strength of that.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Holly and Gabrielle, likewise, 13.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Lovely low score. Then we go to the other end of the scoreboard where we
0:10:49 > 0:10:53find, on 77, IK and Andrew and up a little bit to 91, Katie and Dawn.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58So, Dawn, we need a low-scoring grand answer
0:10:58 > 0:10:59from you on the next board.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01So, best of luck with that. We'll come back down the line now.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board and here they are.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41I'll read those all one last time.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11There we are. Now, Sion, we come to you.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Welcome back. Remind us what you do, Sion.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19Well, I just recently had a job as a care assistant.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22That's right. Last time it was your job to dig your dad out.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Your dad had quite a high score
0:12:23 > 0:12:25and you came up with a fabulous low score.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28In round one. In round one, Lloyd. This time round,
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Lloyd has given you a lovely low score there.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35So, I'm going to wait and see, are you going to go high,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38are you going to go even lower than eight, I wonder?
0:12:38 > 0:12:39I think I'll go safe for this one.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Not too safe.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44I tell you what, if you can score 82 or less, you're fine.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I think I'll go for the show hosted by Kevin McCloud
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- and that is Grand Designs.- Grand Designs, says Sion. Grand Designs.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Here is your red line. If you can get below that,
0:12:53 > 0:12:55you're through to the next round.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Let's see how many of our 100 people said Grand Designs.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Very well done.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03Oh, look at that. 75.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07That's good.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09No wasted points there.
0:13:09 > 0:13:1083 is your total.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Did exactly what you needed to do there, Sion.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14I love Grand Designs.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15It's always good.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I like the fact whenever they come back they've always had a baby.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22You can always tell if Kevin liked them because he turns up
0:13:22 > 0:13:25with a bottle of wine, if he liked them.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28If he hasn't got a bottle of wine, you know he wasn't entirely happy.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30- I don't know. That's just my theory. - He always goes,
0:13:30 > 0:13:33"It's six months later and something else has changed."
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Yeah, they've had a baby, we know they've had a baby.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37They always do. Always.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Something about wall cladding that gets you pregnant, I think.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I think that's how it happens.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Now, Dawn, welcome to the show.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Great to have you here. What do you do, Dawn?
0:13:49 > 0:13:50I'm a retired nurse.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- When did you retire?- Last May.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Oh, that's nice. So the retirement, you're still enjoying it.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- I am, yeah.- Thinking every morning, "Oh, God... oh, No, I haven't.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00"No nursing today."
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- No.- That's nice. What do you do with your retirement?
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I watch all the shows, I am a very adamant watcher of TV.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10I like sport but I'm an armchair watcher, unfortunately,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13but I do avidly watch the shows.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Very good. Well, it's lovely to have you on the show this time.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Now, Dawn, you're on 91 - you are the high scorers at the moment,
0:14:20 > 0:14:23but a nice low score from you might keep you in the game.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- Not going to happen, I don't think. - What would you like to go for?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29I'll go for the natural feature in Arizona
0:14:29 > 0:14:31that was formed by the Colorado River
0:14:31 > 0:14:32and I'll say the Grand Canyon.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34The Grand Canyon, says Dawn.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Let's see if that's right.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38No red line for you as you're the high scorers,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40but how many people said the Grand Canyon?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43It's right.
0:14:43 > 0:14:4478.
0:14:46 > 0:14:4978 takes your total up to 169.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Still in with a chance there.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Yeah, 277 miles long, up to 18 miles wide as well, the Grand Canyon.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- It's a big canyon. - It's a big canyon!
0:14:59 > 0:15:00- Yeah.- Fact.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Yeah. If only there were a better word than big.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Yeah.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Massive Canyon...
0:15:06 > 0:15:11Andrew, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12What do you do, Andrew?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15I'm a client relationship executive, so I work for a small firm.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20I'm a bridge between the clients and the company I work for.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21What sort of company is that?
0:15:21 > 0:15:26It's a small firm. It's a fashion... They sell fashion accessories.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29I see. So you go out to reach the clients.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Do you try and find new clients?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Yes, I do indeed, yes.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Very good. Now, Andrew.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37There you are on 77, high scorers in front of you Dawn and Katie.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40If you can score 91 or less, you're in.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44It's not a very interesting board.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46I'm sorry. I only apologise.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49I know.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52We went for blue as well, which I don't think is the best colour.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55If you come back in six months' time,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58it will be much better and Xander will be pregnant.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00LAUGHTER
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Bring a bottle of wine and we'll...
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Yeah. Andrew, what would you like to go for?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I think I'll just take a punt on this one
0:16:08 > 0:16:10and say Dutch DJ and producer
0:16:10 > 0:16:13known for his 2006 hit Put Your Hands Up For Detroit.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Fedde le Grand.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Fedde le Grand. Fedde le Grand, says Andrew.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21OK, here is your red line, Andrew.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24If you can get below that with Fedde le Grand, you are into round two.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Let's see if it's right.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Let's see how many of our 100 people said Fedde le Grand.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32It's right. You are through.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42Two points, Andrew.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Very well done indeed. Takes your total up to 79.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49That's a great answer, Andrew. Very well played, yeah, Fedde le Grand.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51That's a great track as well.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Put Your Hands Up For Detroit.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55And you know what, I'm nodding, going "Mm, mmm."
0:16:55 > 0:16:57I can't not lie.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00When the news is on, I shall play it to you.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01Oh, do! Yeah.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03While George Alagiah's doing his stuff.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- We will get Fedde le Grand. - Yeah.- Very nice.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Now, Gabrielle. Welcome to Pointless.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Great to have you here.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- And what do you do?- I am training to be a lawyer at Law School.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Also in the two-year course?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- Yeah, yeah.- How many other people did the two-year course?
0:17:18 > 0:17:19There's four of us.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Yeah. And do you find yourself on summer afternoons
0:17:22 > 0:17:24looking out of your window as you're working,
0:17:24 > 0:17:25and seeing all the people who did
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- the three-year course just playing Frisbee outside?- Pretty much.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31We see them rocking up at lunch and it's a sigh of disappointment.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33You can tell, because they're the ones
0:17:33 > 0:17:34with cans of beer on their trays.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37I imagine you're thinking, I'm nine grand better off than you are.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- Yeah.- Well, that's true. - That is true, yeah.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41That's true. Good news,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44you're through to the next round even if you score 100 points.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46But I know you won't. Do you want to talk us through this board
0:17:46 > 0:17:48and fill in the blanks?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Well, the top four were the only four that I knew.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Series of motor racing,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55the only thing I can come up with is Formula 1 or the Gumball Rally.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58I can't think of anything with grand in. Same with the drama.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00I think it's a little bit before my age bracket.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02RICHARD EXHALES SLOWLY
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- So...- Don't say that!- It's like watching someone walk into a rake!
0:18:06 > 0:18:12- Bonggg!- It's almost as if saying that it's in everyone else's time.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15It's before all of our times, but it's still available.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- You can still watch it. - Yeah. So sadly,
0:18:17 > 0:18:19I'm going to have to go with the mother of a mother.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Which is a grandmother.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- The mother of a mother. - Yeah.- Mother of a mother.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- DRAMATICALLY:- Mother of a mother.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Mother of a mother, grandmother, says Gabrielle.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Let's see if it's right.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32No red line for you, as you're already through.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Let's see how many people said
0:18:34 > 0:18:37mother of a mother was a grandmother.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39It's ri...
0:18:40 > 0:18:42I didn't even have time to say it was right, but there you are.
0:18:44 > 0:18:4793 - 106 your total. You're through.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50I don't know what the other seven were thinking, but, yeah,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52the mother of a mother.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Now, let's fill in the rest of these.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56The motor racing contest, of course, Grand Prix.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Would have scored you 80 points.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Big scorer there. The film is Grand Hotel.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03That was before Budapest was invented.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Would have scored you seven points.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07And the central square of Brussels, do you know that?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- La Grand Place.- La Grand Place is exactly the answer.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Ten points for that. So the best answer on the board, Andrew,
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Fedde le Grand.- There we are.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Well, thank you very much, Richard. And at the end of our first round,
0:19:18 > 0:19:19I'm afraid we have to say goodbye
0:19:19 > 0:19:21to one of our pairs, as we always do.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23And our high-scoring pair today is Dawn and Katie.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24I'm so sorry.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28I'm sorry. Nothing wrong with either of your answers, just yeah,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30the Grand National was just a popular answer there.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Anyway, we'll see you again next time.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34We look forward to that very much indeed.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Thank you. In the meantime, thanks very much. Dawn and Katie.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39APPLAUSE
0:19:39 > 0:19:42But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49And so we are now down to three pairs.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Obviously, this will continue at the end of each round.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53Next round will be down to two.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56The two stars of that round, Lloyd, Andrew.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Very well done. Lovely, low scores there.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Fedde le Grand and Grand Rapids, superb.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02But well done, all three pairs.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Best of luck to you all.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Our category for round two this afternoon...
0:20:08 > 0:20:09It's Composers.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:20:11 > 0:20:13who's going to go second?
0:20:13 > 0:20:17And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:20:24 > 0:20:26to name as many composers from...
0:20:28 > 0:20:30..as they could.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Composers from BBC Radio 3's Story of Music in 50 Pieces.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Richard.- Yes, in 2013 this series essentially showcased
0:20:36 > 0:20:39the 50 pieces they thought had changed the course of music history.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Looking for any composer who has a work on that list, please.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Where there's composers who have worked together,
0:20:45 > 0:20:47we'll take each as separate answers.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Just a warning, a lot of these people
0:20:48 > 0:20:51will be before Gabrielle's time.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Worth noting, right?- Noted, yeah.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Thank you very much indeed.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Gabrielle.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Um... I'm happy, I love music.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Studied music for a long time, so I've got quite a few answers.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09I'm going to go for the one that I think is probably quite influential,
0:21:09 > 0:21:11probably top of the list.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Chopin.- Chopin,
0:21:13 > 0:21:14says Gabrielle. Chopin.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Let's see how many of our 100 people said Chopin.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20It's right.
0:21:26 > 0:21:2712.
0:21:29 > 0:21:3312 for Chopin. Well played, Gabrielle.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Yeah, number 28 on that list.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Worked from 1846.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38That really is a long time before your time.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- Yeah. That is, yeah.- Yeah. There we go.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Thank you very much indeed. Now, Andrew, we come to you.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Again, not my favourite board.
0:21:45 > 0:21:50But if I was going to take a punt, I would say Igor Stravinsky.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Stravinsky, says Andrew.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Stravinsky - let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58It's right.
0:21:59 > 0:22:0112 is our only score at this point.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Where will Stravinsky end up in relation to that?
0:22:04 > 0:22:05Below it is the answer.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Seven for Stravinsky.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10Good answer there, Andrew.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14From Fedde le Grand to Stravinsky, Andrew.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- Very impressive.- And supplying the first name as well.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Yeah, lovely. Stravinsky's on the list twice
0:22:19 > 0:22:21with Les Noces and The Rite Of Spring.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- Thank you very much. - Pleasure.- Thank you.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Now, Lloyd.
0:22:25 > 0:22:31- To you again.- Two very good answers, so I've got to sort of dig deep.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33I'll go Grieg.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Grieg, says Lloyd. Grieg.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37These are all very good answers, aren't they?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- Yeah, they're not bad, are they? - Yeah, Grieg.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Let's see how many of our 100 people said Grieg.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Oh.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Oh, I'm sorry, Lloyd.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Grieg did not make that list, I'm afraid.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53This is an issue you're going to have to take up with BBC Radio 3,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55but that scores you 100 points.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Yeah, that seems unfortunate.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Not on the list, I'm afraid. Perfectly good guess.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Might not be the last 100 we see, though.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03There we are. Well, we're halfway through the round,
0:23:03 > 0:23:04so let's look at our scores so far.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Seven the best score of that pass, Andrew.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Very well done indeed for Stravinsky.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Then Chopin scoring 12 on the first podium there.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12And then Grieg, I'm afraid, not scoring at all,
0:23:12 > 0:23:14so 100 points over on the far podium.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16So, who knows?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Sion, a low score from you might keep you in the game,
0:23:19 > 0:23:20so best of luck with that.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21We're going to come back down the line now.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:27 > 0:23:28OK, so remember, Sion.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31We're looking for any composer whose work appeared
0:23:31 > 0:23:34on BBC Radio 3's Story of Music in 50 Pieces list.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37I think I'm going to have to go extremely bold with this one,
0:23:37 > 0:23:40so I'm going to write down...
0:23:40 > 0:23:42I'm going to say
0:23:42 > 0:23:43John Williams.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45John Williams.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47John Williams, OK, the film composer.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51There you are. 100 points is your score at the moment,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53so no red line for you. You're the high scorers.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Let's see how many of our 100 people said John Williams.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Oh, bad luck!
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Out in a blaze of glory, though, on that far podium.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Two perfectly good punts you've had over there,
0:24:06 > 0:24:09but I'm afraid neither of them made this list.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11So that takes your total up to 200, sorry.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Yeah, sorry, Sion. Good tactic, I think,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15to go for someone like John Williams.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17But, yeah, not a composer of one of the pieces of music
0:24:17 > 0:24:21- that has changed music history.- Thanks very much.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22IK.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24So, initially I was thinking
0:24:24 > 0:24:26everything was about classical music,
0:24:26 > 0:24:28and he's just given me another idea.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- Remember, his idea was wrong. - I know, but...
0:24:30 > 0:24:32LAUGHTER
0:24:33 > 0:24:35But I'm assuming we're safe.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Because they've got 200, so we're safe, so...
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Yes, you are. You are safe, that's a good point.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Yes, exactly, you're through, it doesn't matter.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46So I don't have to go classical. So I'll go for John Lennon.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49John Lennon. Let's see.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52No red line for you, as you pointed out, you're already through.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Let's see how many of our 100 people said John Lennon.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Let's see if it's right.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Oh. Great punt, but incorrect, as it turns out.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 107.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06I like the pattern that's developing here, though.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08I sort of hope Holly goes, "I've had an idea!
0:25:08 > 0:25:11"I didn't realise we could go for non-classical."
0:25:11 > 0:25:14That would be good. Yeah, not John Lennon, I'm afraid.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- Not on the list.- Now, Holly.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Now, Holly. Again, as IK has pointed out, you are through.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21You are so through to the head-to-head,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23but why not have some fun,
0:25:23 > 0:25:26see if you can think. There's got to be some pointless answers there.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29I think I'm going to go with Tchaikovsky.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31If I haven't pronounced right, I'm sorry.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32OK, Tchaikovsky, says Holly.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34No red line, you're already through.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Let's see how many of our 100 people said Tchaikovsky.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Is he on the list?
0:25:39 > 0:25:40He is.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46Oh, look at that - 16.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Very well done indeed, taking your total up to 28.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Well played, Holly.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is on there for Swan Lake.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Let's take a look at the pointless answers, shall we?
0:25:59 > 0:26:05You could have had Corelli, you could have had Bertolt Brecht,
0:26:05 > 0:26:06Claudio Monteverdi.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11George Gershwin would have been a good answer.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13The earliest name on the list, Hildegard von Bingen,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16got a piece from 1140, the very first,
0:26:16 > 0:26:18chronologically the first item on the list.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19John Dowland.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Three more from the 20th century here.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26You could have had Kurt Weill, Scott Joplin,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29and Steve Reich was the most recent name on the list.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30Shall we look at the top three,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- the ones that most of our 100 people said?- Yes.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Bach would have scored you 23.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39Beethoven, 47.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42- And our old friend...- Adele.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Adele, all the way to 15, no, it was Manchester United.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Mozart scored 53.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50There we are, thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53So at the end of our second round, the pair we're saying goodbye to,
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Sion and Lloyd, yes,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57200 points means we have to say goodbye to you
0:26:57 > 0:26:59and this time it really is goodbye.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00It's been great having you on both shows.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Thank you so much for playing, Sion and Lloyd.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10But for the two remaining pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Congratulations, Gabrielle and Holly, Andrew and IK,
0:27:17 > 0:27:20you are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our
0:27:20 > 0:27:24jackpot, which currently stands at £1,000.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Well, you know the deal here.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27You can start playing as teams,
0:27:27 > 0:27:29you can confer before you give your answers.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30The first pair to win two questions
0:27:30 > 0:27:32will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35The best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Best Actress Olivier Awards winners.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53I'm going to show you pictures of five actors now.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54They've all won an Olivier Award
0:27:54 > 0:27:56for Best Actress or Best Actress In a Musical.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58- Can you identify them, please? - Thanks very much indeed.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02Let's reveal our five actors, and here they are.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04We have got...
0:28:27 > 0:28:30There we are, five best actors.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Now, Gabrielle and Holly,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35you've been our low scorers so you will go first.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Well, we think we know three out of them, possibly four.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41We're going to go for one we think is lowest,
0:28:41 > 0:28:45and that is A and I think it's Martine McCutcheon.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Martine McCutcheon, A, Martine McCutcheon.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53Now then, Andrew and IK, do you want to talk us through the others?
0:28:53 > 0:28:58Yes, I think B is Julie Walters, C is Tasmin Greig,
0:28:58 > 0:29:00I can't remember E's name, but
0:29:00 > 0:29:03I think what we're going for, B or C?
0:29:03 > 0:29:07I think C, C is Tasmin Greig, Greeg?
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Tasmin Greig, Tasmin Greeg, Tasmin Greig, OK,
0:29:10 > 0:29:14so we have Martine McCutcheon and we have Tasmin Greig.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Gabrielle and Holly, you've gone for Martine McCutcheon for A.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26It is Martine McCutcheon, very well done.
0:29:29 > 0:29:3029.
0:29:34 > 0:29:3729 for Martine McCutcheon.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41Now then, Andrew and IK have said Tasmin Greig for C.
0:29:41 > 0:29:42Let's see if that's right.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53I'm afraid that is incorrect, Andrew and IK,
0:29:53 > 0:29:57which means Gabrielle and Holly, after one question you are up 1-0.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Yes, I can't give it. You said TASMIN Greig,
0:29:59 > 0:30:02it's TAMSIN Greig and they're both different names, I'm afraid,
0:30:02 > 0:30:04and you are playing against two lawyers as well
0:30:04 > 0:30:06so it's really not worth my while giving it to you.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09It's really unlucky because actually it would have won the point as well,
0:30:09 > 0:30:1221 points for Tamsin Greig would have been a terrific answer.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15You were right about Julie Walters as well.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17She would have scored you 51 points.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18We'll leave D for one second, E,
0:30:18 > 0:30:22you will remember the name Sheridan Smith.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Sheridan Smith would have scored 36.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27There's lots of good oohing going on in the audience.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30And D, better known as Jenna from 30 Rock,
0:30:30 > 0:30:31the greatest sitcom ever made,
0:30:31 > 0:30:35it's Jane Krakowski. That would have scored you three points.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Very well done if you said that.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Thanks very much indeed, Richard, so here comes your second question.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Andrew and IK, you get to answer it first.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44You have to win this one to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:30:44 > 0:30:49Our second question today is all about...
0:30:49 > 0:30:50Sterling, Richard.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53I'll give you five clues now to facts about British coinage.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Can you give us the most obscure answer here?
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Thanks, let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59We have got...
0:31:17 > 0:31:19I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Andrew and IK will go first.
0:31:44 > 0:31:51So we'll go for the year of decimalisation and say 1971.
0:31:51 > 0:31:551971, the year of decimalisation say Andrew and IK, 1971.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Now Gabrielle and Holly,
0:31:57 > 0:32:00do you want to talk us through this board and fill in the blanks?
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Day of the week for, I'd say Monday
0:32:02 > 0:32:05because that's the closest to Maundy.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09We said number of edges on a 20p piece, six.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Town in Wales, I don't know why, but Caerphilly came to mind,
0:32:13 > 0:32:16I'm not too sure, so you choose.
0:32:16 > 0:32:1720p piece, because you know.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19OK, yes. So.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Six sides to a 20p piece, you are going to say.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23So we have 1971 and six.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Andrew and IK, you went with 1971. Let's see if it's right,
0:32:26 > 0:32:27let's see how many people said it.
0:32:30 > 0:32:31It is right.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34It is right.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36It's a great answer.
0:32:36 > 0:32:3727. Very well done indeed.
0:32:41 > 0:32:46Now, Gabrielle and Holly are saying there are six edges to a 20p piece.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Oh.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56Bad luck, an incorrect answer, not six sides it turns out,
0:32:56 > 0:32:58which means Andrew and IK, you are back in the game.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00After two questions it's one-all.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Yes, as everybody sitting at home on their sofas
0:33:02 > 0:33:05with 20p pieces in their hands will attest, seven.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07- Oh!- Seven, I know.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11It would have scored you 33 points as well.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16The town in Wales is Llantrisant.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17It would have scored you five points.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20The figure who appeared on the reverse of the 50p piece
0:33:20 > 0:33:21was Britannia.
0:33:22 > 0:33:2415 points. And it's Maundy Thursday.
0:33:26 > 0:33:27That would have scored 46,
0:33:27 > 0:33:29so Llantrisant is the best answer on that board.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Thanks very much indeed. OK, so it comes down to our decider.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Question number three - whoever wins this
0:33:34 > 0:33:36goes through to the final to play for that jackpot.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Best of luck to both pairs.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42Our third question is all about breeds of cat.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43Breeds of cat, Richard.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46I'm going to show you the names now of five different breeds of cat,
0:33:46 > 0:33:48but we've missed out alternate letters.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Can you fill in those gaps and give us the most obscure answer, please?
0:33:51 > 0:33:53OK, thanks very much indeed.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Let's reveal our five breeds of cat
0:33:55 > 0:33:58with missing bits, and here they are.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10I am going to read those all again.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Gabrielle and Holly, you'll go first again this time.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23It was quite funny this morning,
0:34:23 > 0:34:26because on the way here in the car I said a really good question would be
0:34:26 > 0:34:30the most obscure breed of cat, but obviously not like this.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Sadly, we'd have had a really good answer otherwise.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37Erm... The only one we think we really know on that is Persian.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- Persian.- Yeah.- OK, Persian, say Gabrielle and Holly.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Andrew and IK, do you fancy talking us through that board?
0:34:43 > 0:34:45We think we know the first one.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- Yes.- Siamese.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50And I don't know if it's a breed, but it would fit,
0:34:50 > 0:34:52the fourth one down,
0:34:52 > 0:34:54ragdoll.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56What shall we go for?
0:34:56 > 0:34:58I think Persian would beat Siamese.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- I think so.- OK, I'd rather go for ragdoll,
0:35:01 > 0:35:05but I have to go with my partner and we're going for Siamese.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Siamese say Andrew and IK.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Siamese. So we have Persian and we have Siamese.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12In the order they were given, Persian, Gabrielle and Holly.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Is it right? How many people said it?
0:35:22 > 0:35:2537. 37 for Persian.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Now, Andrew and IK have gone for Siamese.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39It's right.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Where is it going to end up, though? Oh! 44.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48Your hunch was right there, IK, which means, very well done.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50After three questions, Gabrielle and Holly,
0:35:50 > 0:35:52you are through to the final 2-1.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Well, let's leave number four for a moment, shall we?
0:35:55 > 0:35:56We'll go right down to the bottom.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58The bottom is Abyssinian.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01In all the old familiar places.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03That would have scored you 25 points.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06- The second one down? - Egyptian something.
0:36:06 > 0:36:07Egyptian Mau.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10That's the answer. Maybe pronounced meow, but I would say mau.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Seven points for that. And this other one, I'll tell you,
0:36:12 > 0:36:14it would have won you the points
0:36:14 > 0:36:16because it would have scored 20 points.
0:36:16 > 0:36:17And the answer is...
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Andrew, ragdoll.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- AUDIENCE:- Ohhh!
0:36:21 > 0:36:22Ragdoll.
0:36:22 > 0:36:2620 points. That is going to be a fun journey home tonight(!)
0:36:30 > 0:36:31Oh, well.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:36:37 > 0:36:38I'm afraid it's Andrew and IK.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41But it's actually kind of good news because it means we get to see you
0:36:41 > 0:36:42again next time because otherwise
0:36:42 > 0:36:45you'd have just been here for one show only and that's not enough.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48We'll look forward to that very much indeed.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Andrew and IK, thanks so much for playing. Great contestants.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54But for Gabrielle and Holly, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Congratulations, Gabrielle and Holly,
0:37:00 > 0:37:02you've seen off all the competition
0:37:02 > 0:37:05and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and at the end of
0:37:13 > 0:37:16today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,000.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18There we are. Well, very well done.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21We've given you a pretty good run around, I'd say.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24We did all our clues with answers containing the word "grand."
0:37:24 > 0:37:26We had our composers.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Olivier award-winning actresses.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31We then had sterling and then we had cats.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34And here we are in the final.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Anything in particular you want to see?
0:37:36 > 0:37:38Anything you want to add to that list?
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Harry Potter would be fantastic.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Anything about Harry Potter.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44- Bring it on.- Yeah.- OK. - That would be brill.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47OK. Well, let's see what the choices are.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Oh, gosh!
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Is Harry Potter up there? I wonder...
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- It's going to have to be, isn't it? - Yeah. I think, yeah.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06Epic poems, I think.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08We're both literature students from A Level
0:38:08 > 0:38:10so hopefully we can do something.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Epic poems it is.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14- Richard.- We are looking for the name of any named character
0:38:14 > 0:38:17in any of the following three epic poems, please,
0:38:17 > 0:38:18according to the SparkNotes website.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21We are looking for any character named in Beowulf,
0:38:21 > 0:38:23any character named in Paradise Lost,
0:38:23 > 0:38:26or any character named in the Iliad, please.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30So any characters named in Beowulf, Paradise Lost or the Iliad.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33- Very best of luck. - OK, now, as always,
0:38:33 > 0:38:35you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:38:35 > 0:38:37and all you need to win that jackpot
0:38:37 > 0:38:39is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40Are you ready?
0:38:40 > 0:38:43- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45There they are. Your time starts now.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- Beowulf is the only one I know. - It's going to have to be Beowulf.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49So you've got Beowulf...
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Yeah, but what's the name of that, erm...
0:38:52 > 0:38:53The monster thing.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Angelina Jolie did it in the...
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Like, the mother.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00I don't know! I was hoping for Shakespeare!
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Um... Gosh, I've no idea.
0:39:03 > 0:39:04There's obviously, like,
0:39:04 > 0:39:07the Maid Marian kind of character in it as well,
0:39:07 > 0:39:08isn't there? The female role,
0:39:08 > 0:39:11but I cannot for the life of me remember her name.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Mary? Just guess Mary.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15That kind of era? Erm...
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Do you want to guess the mother? Guess at the mother?
0:39:18 > 0:39:20If Angelina Jolie played her.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22It's really weird.
0:39:22 > 0:39:23Like, a really obscure name.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24She's like a monster in it.
0:39:25 > 0:39:26What's...
0:39:27 > 0:39:30What other type of names would be in that?
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Isn't it set in, like, medieval?
0:39:32 > 0:39:35- Yeah, it is.- So Arthur might be a good one.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36- Arthur...- Ten seconds left. - Arthur, Mary...
0:39:39 > 0:39:43- And Richard?- Not Richard! Richard, it'll have to be Richard.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- Oh, no!- The luck of the Richards, hopefully.
0:39:46 > 0:39:47OK, that's your time up now.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50I'm longing to ask about the luck of the Richards,
0:39:50 > 0:39:51but we haven't really got time for that.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53I now need your three answers.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56I'm sure it's medieval-esque, so we are going to go for Arthur...
0:39:56 > 0:39:57- Arthur.- Mary.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59- Mary.- And the luck of the Richards!
0:39:59 > 0:40:00- Richard.- And Richard.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02OK, of those three,
0:40:02 > 0:40:05which is the one you think is most likely to be pointless?
0:40:05 > 0:40:06- Arthur.- Arthur, OK.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Least likely to be pointless?
0:40:08 > 0:40:10- Richard.- Richard, OK. We'll put Mary in the middle.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12- Yeah.- OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board
0:40:12 > 0:40:15in that order, then, and here they are.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17We have got Richard, we've got Mary and we've got Arthur.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Well, best of luck.
0:40:19 > 0:40:20- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Three answers on the board there.
0:40:23 > 0:40:24Any of them could be right.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Any of them could therefore be pointless.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28What would you do if you won that jackpot today?
0:40:28 > 0:40:30- Holiday.- Yeah.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33- Yeah.- We deserve a holiday, I think, after the lengthy degree, so...
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Very good. OK, well, best of luck.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Your first answer was Richard.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40All of these answers you've given were for characters in Beowulf.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44If it's pointless and it's right, it will win you £1,000.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45Let's see how many people said Richard.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50No.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Bad luck. I'm afraid not a pointless answer.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Only two make more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Your next answer was Mary.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Let's find out if that's correct,
0:40:59 > 0:41:01then let's find out if it's pointless.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Again, if it's both of those things, it will win you £1,000.
0:41:03 > 0:41:04How many people said Mary?
0:41:08 > 0:41:09Oh, I'm afraid not.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Which means everything is now riding on Arthur,
0:41:12 > 0:41:13your third and final answer.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Let us find out if that is correct and if it's correct,
0:41:15 > 0:41:17how many people said Arthur?
0:41:17 > 0:41:19For £1,000, is it pointless?
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Oh! Bad luck. Sorry.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Well, that was really, really tough.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36Epic poems, I mean, it really was genuinely epic poems, I'm afraid.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40And uncomfortable to have to sort of try and pluck names out of thin air.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42And there are some names you know from Beowulf,
0:41:42 > 0:41:45- so I guess you'll be kicking yourselves a bit.- Definitely.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48But I'm afraid you didn't find that all-important pointless answer
0:41:48 > 0:41:50so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52That will roll over on to the next show.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54But you have been fantastic the whole way through.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56It's been wonderful having you on. Thank you so much for playing.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59And you get a Pointless trophy each to take home, so there you are.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02- Thank you.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:42:05 > 0:42:06Yeah, well done for taking a risk.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Sorry it didn't pay off. Let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11We'll start with Beowulf.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12These characters were all pointless.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Ecgtheow is Beowulf's dad.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18He's an accountant. King Hrothgar, who is the king of the Danes.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20King Hrothgar's wife is Wealhtheow.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22And Wiglaf is a Swedish warrior.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25All of those pointless answers. In fact, everyone apart from Grendel,
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Grendel's mother and the Dragon,
0:42:27 > 0:42:30every other character was a pointless answer in that poem.
0:42:30 > 0:42:31Characters in Paradise Lost.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34You could have had Belial, Michael, you could have had Sin,
0:42:34 > 0:42:36you could have had Uriel.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39Other ones for a Paradise Lost you could have had...
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Death was a pointless answer. That would have been a nice one.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44God the Son and Mammon, also a pointless answer.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Well done if you said any of those. Let's move on to the Iliad.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Aphrodite is a pointless answer.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Nestor. Pandarus, Poseidon also a pointless answer.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Thanks very much, Richard.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Well, Gabrielle and Holly didn't win our jackpot today,
0:43:00 > 0:43:03which means it rolls over on to the next show,
0:43:03 > 0:43:06when we'll be playing for £2,000. APPLAUSE
0:43:09 > 0:43:10Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
