0:00:19 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27and welcome to Pointless - the show where we are always striving
0:00:27 > 0:00:29to find the most obscure answers.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Hi, my name's Alison and I'm from Wakefield.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41This is LJ, my identical twin, from Leeds.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Francis.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48This is my daughter Tori, and we're from Halesowen in the West Midlands.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Omar.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52This is my best friend, Dan, and we're from Camberley in Surrey.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54And finally, couple number four.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Peter. I'm from Essex.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59This is Rula, a family friend, from Bedford.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00And these are today's contestants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03APPLAUSE
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Thank you very much, all of you. A very warm welcome to the show.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08We'll chat to each of you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Today, performing completely a cappella,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Hey, everybody.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20APPLAUSE
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Good afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Two returning pairs from our last show -
0:01:25 > 0:01:26LJ and Alison, back on podium one.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- I know.- Knocked out in Round One last time...- I know.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31..so fingers crossed we don't see a repeat of that this time.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- Yes.- Up on podium four this time, way in the distance,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Peter and Rula, who got all the way through to the head-to-head,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40got knocked out 2-1 in the head-to-head as well,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42by Gary and Gavin.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44And Gary and Gavin went through to that final.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47They scored four points, four points...
0:01:47 > 0:01:49one point in that final,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51didn't they? Really, really unlucky.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53It means that the jackpot has gone up, but they were really unlucky.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Welcome to our two new pairs.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56A father-and-daughter team -
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- haven't had a father-and-daughter team for a little while.- Yeah.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Traditionally do rather well, but no pressure.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- No pressure.- Round One today, proper classic Pointless.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06It's one of those ones where there's a few easy answers there,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08but if you want to go for a tough one,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11there are some really, really good tough answers as well.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Thanks very much indeed. Now, Gary and Gavin, as you gather,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16didn't win the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Which means today's jackpot starts off at £2,250.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22APPLAUSE
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36The pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:36 > 0:02:37will be eliminated.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39That's the only rule I have to tell you.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Our first category this afternoon...
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Political History.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to first,
0:02:49 > 0:02:50who's going to second?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Decades Of Prime Ministers, Richard.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Yeah, in a moment, Xander's going to show you a list of decades.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08We're looking for anyone who was UK Prime Minister
0:03:08 > 0:03:10during one of those decades, please.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13I need the full name or full title, where appropriate,
0:03:13 > 0:03:14of anyone who was Prime Minister
0:03:14 > 0:03:16during one of the decades you're about to see.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19And that's according to the Prime Minister section
0:03:19 > 0:03:21of the gov.uk website, which is not a website
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I recommend spending an awful lot of time on.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Wow. OK, so, as Richard just mentioned,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29we're going to put a list of decades up on the board - and here they are.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I'll read those again, in slightly shortened form.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- There we are. Alison, back on podium one.- Yes.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- Gluttons for punishment there. - I know.- Oh, dear.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Alison, remind us what you do.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- I'm a student nurse. - You're a student nurse in Wakefield?
0:04:06 > 0:04:07In... I'm at Sheffield Hallam University.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- I see, you're studying there. - What year are you in?
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Final. I graduate in September.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- Exciting.- Yeah.- But you've had a lovely time in Sheffield, I imagine.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- Yes, absolutely. - Such a lovely place.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17- Loved it. Yeah.- Wonderful place.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20What sort of things have you got up to when not studying?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I imagine you don't get a great deal of spare time.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24No, not an awful lot. I like to sleep a lot.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26You'll need that.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29I like to read and...
0:04:29 > 0:04:31I like to be outside, go walking.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34You've got the Peaks right on your doorstep there as well.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Yeah. Lots of places.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38How are we feeling about political history?
0:04:38 > 0:04:42So, I've got a couple, but I think they're going to be quite obvious.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46But I think I'm going to go for John Major.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48John Major, says Alison.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50John Major. Let's see if it's right,
0:04:50 > 0:04:52let's see how many of our 100 people said John Major.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Bad luck.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Bad luck.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Well, that starts the show with a bang, doesn't it?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05100 points, I'm afraid, for John Major.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- I sense this round may go well.- Yeah.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10John Major, 1990-1997,
0:05:10 > 0:05:12so just in the '90s, I'm afraid.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Thanks, Richard.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Tori, welcome.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Welcome here, from Halesowen.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19What do you do up there in the West Midlands?
0:05:19 > 0:05:22I'm a student radiographer at Birmingham City University.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25We've got a lot of medicine covered here, haven't we?
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Lots of very specialised areas of health care.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30How long have you been doing that?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I'm in my first year, so just starting out now.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- And that's a three-year course, is it?- Three-year, yeah.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37OK. What are your hobbies, Tori?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Well, sadly, I really love wrestling.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- What's so sad about that? - Not personally wrestling, but...
0:05:43 > 0:05:44- But you follow it?- Yes, a lot.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Very good. Do you go and watch it live?- Yes.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48I try to as often as I can,
0:05:48 > 0:05:50but I've got a little boy at the moment that I may...
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Well, I've forced him to get into it as well.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I think he'll enjoy it.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Little boys surely like wrestling, don't they?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Oh, he loves it. Hopefully, when he's a little bit older,
0:05:58 > 0:05:59I can take him as well.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Very good. Now, Tori, how are we feeling about these?
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Awful. I hate politics.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06You've got a good name for it.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Yeah!
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- And also, she's recently been in labour, so...- Yeah.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12LAUGHTER
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Erm...
0:06:16 > 0:06:21I'm just going to take a complete punt and say Edward Heath.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Edward Heath, says Tori.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Edward Heath.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Absolutely right.
0:06:33 > 0:06:3537 for Edward Heath.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37APPLAUSE
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Yes, 1970-1974, Edward Heath.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Thanks very much, Richard.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Now, Dan, welcome to Pointless.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Good to have you here. And you are here from Camberley?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Yes, that's correct.- What keeps you busy in Camberley, Dan?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Well, I've actually moved to Kent now so I'm doing a part-time PhD,
0:06:54 > 0:06:56so that keeps me fairly busy.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- Where are you doing that? - Canterbury.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- At Canterbury?- Yeah. - What's the PhD in?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Sport psychology.- Ah!
0:07:03 > 0:07:05What's your psychology going to be for this...
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- For this game?- Try and be positive, but try not to mess up too much.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11OK. I see. OK, now, Dan...
0:07:12 > 0:07:14..what would you like to go for?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Again, it's a... A very weak category for me,
0:07:17 > 0:07:20so I'm going to hazard a guess and say Harold Wilkinson.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Harold Wilkinson, says Dan.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27OK, well, we've only had one 100 so far.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Let's see if Harold Wilkinson is right,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30then let's see how many people said it if it is.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33How many of our 100 people said Harold Wilkinson?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I'm afraid that's another incorrect answer.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42That's a nice relief, isn't it, Alison?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44A bit of company up there at the top.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I'm afraid an incorrect answer scores you 100 points, Dan.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Yeah, sorry, Dan. No Harold Wilkinson.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51I think you might be thinking of Howard Wilkinson,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54who was one of the great sport psychologists of football.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- There you are.- Old Leeds manager.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Yeah. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Peter, welcome back.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Tell us what you do again.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I'm a maths teacher.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08A maths teacher? Oh, I bet he's good at maths.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Yeah.- You would want to be taught by Peter, I think.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13I think so. I think once you've been taught once by Peter,
0:08:13 > 0:08:15you remain taught, would be my guess.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18I suspect that is right.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Peter, what else do you do when not teaching maths?
0:08:22 > 0:08:27I like to go around country houses and keep fit.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Do you have country houses near you that you go to,
0:08:29 > 0:08:30or do you have ones around...?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Are you a member of the National Trust, for example?- Yes.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Are there any that you long to visit but haven't yet?
0:08:36 > 0:08:37I'm not sure if they're National Trust,
0:08:37 > 0:08:40but Blenheim I haven't been to.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44I haven't been to Hatfield for a long time.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Very nice. Do they change much?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Do you find that if you go, if you leave a few years between them...?
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Or do they preserve them?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51You tend to forget.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I went to three over the last week.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55- Right.- Wow. I know, Hatfield House,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58they've recently knocked through the living room and dining room.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Oh!- It's actually very nice, what they've done,
0:09:00 > 0:09:03and there's a little conservatory on the back,
0:09:03 > 0:09:04so it opens out into the garden.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Also, they put up a mirror in the hall as well,
0:09:06 > 0:09:08it just give more of a sense of space.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Yeah, nice.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Thank you. Now, Peter, what would you like to go for?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Who would you like to go for?
0:09:16 > 0:09:17I like history,
0:09:17 > 0:09:19but dates are really, really awful.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20I'm going to...
0:09:22 > 0:09:23..try Robert Walpole.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Robert Walpole, says Peter.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Let's hope it lands on one of those dates,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30because that sounds like a really good answer.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Robert Walpole.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Oh, Peter!
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Bad luck. I'm afraid that's another incorrect answer.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Oh, you're in excellent company, though, but another score of 100.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Well done for going for an older one as well
0:09:46 > 0:09:49but, unfortunately, way before this time.
0:09:49 > 0:09:511721-1742, Robert Walpole.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Thanks, Richard. Well, we're only halfway through the round
0:09:54 > 0:09:56but, my goodness, look at all those scores.
0:09:56 > 0:09:5837 was the best score of that pass -
0:09:58 > 0:10:00kind of the only score of that pass, Tori, -
0:10:00 > 0:10:02so very, very well done to you.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Yes, LJ, Omar and Rula,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08you are going to be jockeying it out to see who stays with us
0:10:08 > 0:10:10and who moves on at the end of the round, so best of luck with that.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12We're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- OK. Rula, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Head-to-head last time.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Got to be pleased with that.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Yeah, it was quite good, but I'm not good on tennis that much.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29I know, that was tough, though.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31I mean, there were the obvious ones, but the other ones,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33I thought, were quite tricky there.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Whose idea was it to come on the show?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37It was my idea. I've never been on TV before.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- Really? Oh, well, welcome. - Thanks.- Lovely to have you here.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Was Peter the obvious choice?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Well, Peter and I go way back,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45so he was definitely the best person to ask.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Did he teach you maths?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Sadly, no.- Oh!
0:10:48 > 0:10:50My dad did, actually.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Oh, right. Well, that's good. That's very nice. Very nice.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Rula, how is your history, your political history, do you think?
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Not that great, actually.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Politics is not my strong point.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Not sure, but I'll go with Jimmy Carter.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- You're going to go for Jimmy Carter?- Yes.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08OK, Jimmy Carter, says Rula.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11No red line for you, as you're our joint high-scorers.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Let's see how many people said that.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Let's see if it's right.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18No.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Bad luck, Rula. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23scores you another 100 points, taking your total up to 200.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27It may not be the last 200 of this round, though, Rula.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Yeah, no kidding. Yeah, right decade, Rula, but wrong country.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Jimmy Carter was president of the US.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34It's getting very busy in that hundred club, isn't it,
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- in this round?- Isn't it? Yeah.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38They'll have to do a Hatfield House job there
0:11:38 > 0:11:39and knock through the clubhouse.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Yeah. Poor old Tori's sitting there...
0:11:43 > 0:11:45..with a little cup of tea going, "Where is everyone?"
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I know, I know!
0:11:47 > 0:11:49- Now, Omar.- Hello.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Omar, welcome to the show.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- Thank you very much. - What do you do, Omar?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- I'm a book editor.- Are you?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56An independent book editor or do you work as part of a publishing...?
0:11:56 > 0:11:58I'm part of a publishing house,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00and it's one that works with a lot of pop-culture stuff,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02so I work on comic books, things to do with film and TV.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05So I'm sincerely hoping something geeky comes up
0:12:05 > 0:12:06if we can get through to the next round.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- Let's hope.- You don't edit history books, you mean?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11No, but I do like history, so...
0:12:11 > 0:12:12- That's good.- ..I have an idea.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16There is a number of people I could go for from the 2000s,
0:12:16 > 0:12:18but there is someone I'm fairly confident...
0:12:18 > 0:12:23And it could be pointless. I think I'm right on this.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24I'm going to go with Clement Attlee.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Clement Attlee, says Omar. Here is your red line.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Get below that red line with Clement Attlee
0:12:29 > 0:12:30and you are into the next round.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33How many people said Clement Attlee? Is it right?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37It is right, and you are through, Omar.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Lovely stuff.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Down it goes.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Very good work. 111 is your total.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49APPLAUSE
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Yeah, well done, Omar. Well done for taking the risk as well.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Obviously he was made Prime Minister post-Second World War
0:12:54 > 0:12:56and stayed there till 1951.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58So he just gets into the '50s, there.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00There we are. Thank you, Richard.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- Francis...- Hello.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05What about this? You've got a bye through to the next round.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Incredible. A free answer.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Victoria was panicking about political history.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Well, she didn't need to. Look at that,
0:13:12 > 0:13:14the only score on the board halfway through the round.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Francis, what do you do?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18I work for the railways at Birmingham New Street Station.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Oh, you're at Birmingham New Street?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- Yes.- My line goes up to Snow Hill.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Do you have a rivalry between New Street and Snow Hill?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26No, no, no.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Do they have a rivalry with you?
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Yes, that's different, yes.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Oh, they look up to the New Street guys, I'm sure.- Oh, yeah.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34How long have you been there?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36I've been at New Street for ten years,
0:13:36 > 0:13:38but I've been on the railway for 13 years.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Right you are. Now, Francis, as I say, you've got a free answer,
0:13:42 > 0:13:43- a free pass.- Oh, yeah.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Bearing that in mind, maybe see if you can find a pointless answer.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49I've got a couple in my mind.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53I do like, sort of, the political side of things.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I'm just hoping it's in the right era.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57I'm going to go for William Gladstone.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59William Gladstone, says Francis.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Getting a nod from LJ in front of you, there.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02Let's see. No red line.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05You're already through, but let's see how many people
0:14:05 > 0:14:06said William Gladstone.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09It's right.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Well, Tori scored 37.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Oh, you score lower than Tori.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Look at that. 14.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17APPLAUSE
0:14:17 > 0:14:18Very well done indeed.
0:14:18 > 0:14:2051 is your total.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Lowest total of the round, I might add.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Well played, Francis. Yeah, 1868-1874.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29When he died, his coffin was transported on the Tube.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Really? Did they have a special hearse carriage, or...?
0:14:33 > 0:14:34No, I think they just...
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- I think they just put it upright, like that...- Yeah.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42They would have had to go through the bigger...
0:14:42 > 0:14:44The luggage gates for that, right?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Oh, that would have got them a tut.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47"Oh, God."
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Boop!
0:14:51 > 0:14:53LJ, welcome back.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- Thank you.- Welcome back.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Remind us what you do, LJ. - I'm a student cardiac physiologist.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01There we are. Yet more wonderful health care
0:15:01 > 0:15:03taken care of on this programme.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05What are your hobbies, LJ?
0:15:05 > 0:15:09I don't have many at the moment, since I broke my back.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I used to climb, I was a very keen climber.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Are you still doing physio for the broken back?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I've not started physio yet, I've just started with...
0:15:16 > 0:15:20I'm allowed to swim for ten minutes at a time twice.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22So ten minutes, break, ten minutes.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25How long's the break? Can the break be, like, three months or...?
0:15:25 > 0:15:29If only! It as long as I wish to spend in the sauna, to be honest.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Well, there you are. That's not so bad.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- It's not too bad. - Now, LJ, you have a target.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36You have a target, which is 99 or less.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37- OK.- 99 or less.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Well, Tori and Francis actually stole both of the answers I had,
0:15:41 > 0:15:43that I thought would be quite good,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46So I'm going to play it safe and go with Tony Blair.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Tony Blair, says LJ.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Tony Blair. Here is your red line.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Get below that with Tony Blair and you're into the next round.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Let's see how many of our 100 people said Tony Blair.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59There we are.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01It's right - 76, but good enough.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04176 is your total. Through you go to Round Two.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- Yeah, absolutely, all you needed to do there.- 1997-2007.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Now, let's go through the different decades.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Obviously, the pointless answers are really in the earlier decades.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19In the 1800s you'd have got eight points for William Pitt the Younger,
0:16:19 > 0:16:21one point for our old friend Spencer Percival.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Oh.- The only British Prime Minister to be assassinated.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Pointless answers for the Duke of Portland,
0:16:26 > 0:16:29for Henry Addington and William Wyndham Grenville.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33The 1860s, pointless answer, Lord John Russell or Earl Russell.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35That was a pointless answer. In the 1920s,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Lloyd George would've scored you eight, Baldwin five,
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Ramsay MacDonald four, and Bonar Law would have scored you one.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44For the '50s - Winston Churchill, of course, he would have scored you 42.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Macmillan would have scored you 20, Anthony Eden 14.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50'70s - Margaret Thatcher would have scored you 62.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52It was Harold Wilson, not Harold Wilkinson.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Harold Wilson, he would've scored you 42.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56James Callaghan 16.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58We just heard Tony Blair, and Gordon Brown is the other answer
0:16:58 > 0:17:01for the '00s, he would've scored 47.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Thank you very much, Richard.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05So, at the end of our first round, the pair we have to say goodbye to,
0:17:05 > 0:17:07so sadly, Peter and Rula,
0:17:07 > 0:17:09our head-to-headers last time.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Far too soon to be saying goodbye to you this time round,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14but there we are. High score of 200, you can't argue with that.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15Thank you so much for coming to play.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Rula and Peter, wonderful contestants.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Peter and Rula.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20APPLAUSE
0:17:20 > 0:17:23But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32And so we are down to three pairs.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33We are down to three pairs.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35At the end of this round, as at the end of every round,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37we will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Francis and Tori, though, that's the big story.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Two correct answers there.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Lovely, lovely scoring. Very well done.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Omar, nice answer with Clem Attlee there in the first round.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51And actually, LJ and Alison, you got through.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Tactically, you did the right thing.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Anyway, best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Our category for Round Two, this afternoon, is...
0:18:00 > 0:18:02TV & Film.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07And, whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13OK, and the question is all about...
0:18:15 > 0:18:16Fictional Towns And Cities, Richard.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Just six clues on each board now.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21The answers to each of the clues is a fictional town or city
0:18:21 > 0:18:24from TV and film. Just give us the most obscure answer you can, please.
0:18:24 > 0:18:2612 in all to have a go at at home. Good luck.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Thanks very much indeed.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30So we're looking for the fictional towns or cities
0:18:30 > 0:18:33described by these clues - and here is our first board of six.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I'll read those all one last time.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15There we are. LJ...
0:19:15 > 0:19:17LJ, are you happy with this board?
0:19:17 > 0:19:18It's not too bad.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23I think I'm going to go for the town where a young Clark Kent
0:19:23 > 0:19:25spent his formative years. Metropolis.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Metropolis, says LJ.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Metropolis. Let's see if it's right,
0:19:29 > 0:19:31let's see how many people said Metropolis.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Oh, I'm afraid an incorrect answer, LJ,
0:19:39 > 0:19:40scoring you 100 points.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Yeah, sorry, LJ. I'll give all the answers at the end of the pass.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Thanks, Richard.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Now, Francis.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50That eases the pressure a little bit.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Well, it's not one of the best things.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55I think I'll have a guess for what LJ went with,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58the town where a young Clark Kent spent his formative years -
0:19:58 > 0:19:59is that Smallville?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Smallville, says Francis.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Let's see if Smallville's right.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Let's see how many people said it if it is.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08It is Smallville.
0:20:14 > 0:20:1515.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17APPLAUSE
0:20:17 > 0:20:1815 for Smallville.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Well played, Francis. Another good answer from you.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25It was also the name of the TV series
0:20:25 > 0:20:27called Smallville, about Clark Kent's formative years.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- Ran for about ten years. - Thanks, Richard.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Now, Omar, this board's all yours.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34If you felt up to it,
0:20:34 > 0:20:37then why not go through it and fill in all those banks?
0:20:37 > 0:20:38I can do four of them.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41The top one, notable residents in this animated TV series
0:20:41 > 0:20:43with Kyle, Stan, Cartman and Kenny - that's South Park.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46The crime-ridden city that's home to Bruce Wayne is Gotham City.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Buffy fought off numerous vampires in Sunnydale.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51And I believe that the town that is the main setting
0:20:51 > 0:20:53for the Back To The Future trilogy is Hill Valley.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55But Sunnydale would be the one that I'm going to pick.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Sunnydale, you're going to say.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00OK, let's see how many of our 100 people said Sunnydale.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Six.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Very well done.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15That's an extremely judicious choice, Omar.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Six for Sunnydale.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Yeah, well played, Omar. You did ask for something geeky as well.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20I know! How about that?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22It's indicative that the only one you don't know
0:21:22 > 0:21:24is Coronation Street, as well.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27You are right about Gotham City -
0:21:27 > 0:21:29that's a big scorer, for Bruce Wayne.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31That would have scored you 77.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34You're right about South Park, up the top there.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36That would've scored you 33.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38You are right about Hill Valley as well.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40That feels like the sort of one you should know, doesn't it?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- Doesn't it?- Actually, it's the best answer on the board.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Four points, Hill Valley. Such famous films but...
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Well, Omar knew. It's a very good answer.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49And the fictional town where Corrie is set is...
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- Weatherfield.- Weatherfield.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52That's 47 points.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Thanks very much, Richard. We're halfway through our second round.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Let's take a look at the scores at this stage.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Omar, well done.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Actually, as Richard pointed out, you knew a lower score there,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03but six ain't bad.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Omar and Dan are looking pretty strong.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Then up to 15, where we find Francis and Tori - likewise.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Because, I'm afraid, LJ and Alison, there you are on 100.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13However, who knows what the next board's going to be like.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16And, Alison, if you can find a low score...
0:22:16 > 0:22:17it might keep you in.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Best of luck. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27OK. We're going to put six more clues up on the board -
0:22:27 > 0:22:28and here they are.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52I'll read all those again.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Right. Now, Dan, remember, we are looking for
0:23:11 > 0:23:14the fictional towns and cities described by these clues.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16You need to find another low score.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17See if you can beat Omar.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I probably shouldn't take a risk at this point
0:23:22 > 0:23:25but the Sky One football drama, I think it might be Harchester.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Harchester. Harchester, says Dan.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Here is your red line. Get below that with Harchester
0:23:31 > 0:23:32and you're into the head-to-head.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34How many people said Harchester? Is it right?
0:23:36 > 0:23:37It's right.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45One.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47APPLAUSE
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Yes, that does beat Omar.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51That takes your total up to seven. Very well done indeed, Dan.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Pretty good going, isn't it?
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- Making Omar look very sluggish there, Dan.- Yeah.- I'm off! Blimey.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Very impressive answer. Over 400 episodes of Dream Team on Sky.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03Thank you much, Richard.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Tori.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Tori, you need to score 84 or less.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11I really think I should know the spaceport in Star Wars.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13I'm obsessed with Star Wars, but my brain's gone,
0:24:13 > 0:24:17so I'm going to the futuristic city in Fritz Lang's film,
0:24:17 > 0:24:18which was Metropolis.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Metropolis.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23We'll get that answer in at some point if it kills us.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Metropolis. OK.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27There is your red line. If we get below that with Metropolis,
0:24:27 > 0:24:28you're through to next round.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30How many people said Metropolis?
0:24:32 > 0:24:33It's right.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35You are through. Very well done.
0:24:38 > 0:24:4125 for Metropolis, taking your total up to 40.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Yeah, very well played.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49And it is, of course, the hometown of Superman in the comics,
0:24:49 > 0:24:51but not where he grew up. Metropolis.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Thanks, Richard.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Now then, Alison.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- Yes.- I'm afraid you're the high-scorers.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- Yeah.- I'm sorry.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02But that board's all yours.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05You have some fun with that board if you know any of those answers.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07So, I think I know the bottom two.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11I think Judy Garland follows the Yellow Brick Road to Oz,
0:25:11 > 0:25:13and I think the Flintstones live in Bedrock.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15And I think that's what I'm going to go for.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Bedrock? Bedrock, says Alison.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19No red line for you, I'm afraid, as you're the high-scorers,
0:25:19 > 0:25:21but let's see how many people said Bedrock.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25It's right.
0:25:28 > 0:25:2948.
0:25:30 > 0:25:3348, taking your total up to 148.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Yeah, a nice way to finish.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Actually, it's not Oz, the Judy Garland one, it's the Emerald City.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- Oh, yes.- That would have scored
0:25:41 > 0:25:4315 points, though,
0:25:43 > 0:25:46so I suspect an awful lot of our 100 people said Oz.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48The city where Casualty is set...
0:25:48 > 0:25:49- is Holby.- Holby.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Of course, the spin-off is Holby city, 42 points for that.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57And the spaceport is where the Cantina is, Mos Eisley.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59That would've scored you seven points.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01So, Harchester - best answer on the board.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02Thank you, Richard.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05So, at the end of our second round, the pair we have to say goodbye to,
0:26:05 > 0:26:08our only other returning pair, and it's LJ and Alison.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11I'm so sorry. I thought you were destined for the head-to-head
0:26:11 > 0:26:13and beyond, but I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Thank you so much for coming to play, LJ and Alison.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Lovely contestants. Brilliant.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20APPLAUSE
0:26:20 > 0:26:23But, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32Well, congratulations, Francis and Tori, Dan and Omar,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34you are now one step closer to the final
0:26:34 > 0:26:36and the chance to play for our jackpot,
0:26:36 > 0:26:38which is currently standing at £2,250.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44So, we've reached that bit of the game
0:26:44 > 0:26:46where we can start playing as teams, which is a huge relief.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Well done. Father-and-daughter teams, as Richard said,
0:26:51 > 0:26:53they always do well.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54They always do well.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57And Dan and Omar, that fell very nicely, I think, that last round.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Some lovely scoring there from you.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Anyway, best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Here is your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Famous Carols.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16We're going to show you five pictures now
0:27:16 > 0:27:19of famous people called Carol, with or without an E.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21You just need to tell us the most obscure of these, please.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five famous Carols
0:27:24 > 0:27:25and here they are.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55There we go. Five famous Carols.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Now, Francis and Tori, you've been our low-scorers on aggregate so far,
0:27:59 > 0:28:00so you get to go first.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02All right.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05THEY WHISPER
0:28:05 > 0:28:08We think we know a few of them, but we're going to go for D
0:28:08 > 0:28:10and say Carole Lombard.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Carole Lombard. Carole Lombard.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Now, Dan and Omar, do you fancy talking us through
0:28:16 > 0:28:17the rest of the board?
0:28:17 > 0:28:20It's quite a difficult one. I mean, C is, I think,
0:28:20 > 0:28:22the only one we are confirmed on.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27We could have a stab at B but I think we'd be taking it down
0:28:27 > 0:28:30the wrong way - maybe Lewis Carroll. Vorderman is the only one that...
0:28:30 > 0:28:32- Yeah, I think we'll have to go with Carol Vorderman, C.- Yeah.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34OK, C, Carol Vorderman.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37So, we have Carols Lombard and Vorderman.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Francis and Tori went for Carole Lombard for D.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46Yes!
0:28:52 > 0:28:5512. Very well done indeed, Carole Lombard.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Good answer.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02Now, Dan and Omar have gone for Carol Vorderman for C.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said that.
0:29:08 > 0:29:09It is right. Oh, look at that.
0:29:09 > 0:29:1186.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Very popular Carol. Which means, well done, Francis and Tori,
0:29:15 > 0:29:18after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Yes, only one answer that would have beaten Carole Lombard,
0:29:20 > 0:29:21and that is B.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24That's the first film director ever to be knighted,
0:29:24 > 0:29:26director of The Third Man, amongst many other things,
0:29:26 > 0:29:28- Carol Reed.- Carol Reed.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Very well done. Three points.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Also, you can just see there's a decoration behind him there -
0:29:32 > 0:29:36- he's also a Christmas Carol. - Oh, that's nice!
0:29:36 > 0:29:37That is nice.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- Sir Christmas Carol to you.- Yeah.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42The remaining two, they've both been on Pointless Celebrities,
0:29:42 > 0:29:44two of my favourite Carols of all.
0:29:44 > 0:29:45- A?- Decker,
0:29:45 > 0:29:49Carol Decker from T'Pau, would have scored you 38.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50- And E?- Kirkwood.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Lovely Carol Kirkwood.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54She would've scored you 23.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55Oh, thanks very much, Richard.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57So, here comes your second question.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Dan and Omar, you have to win this one, but you get to answer it first,
0:30:00 > 0:30:02so good luck with that.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Our second question this afternoon is all about...
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Wow. Omar, that's just what you wanted, isn't it?
0:30:09 > 0:30:11- I love it. Live for that. - There we go.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- Richard.- Yeah, we are now going to show you the first five numbers
0:30:14 > 0:30:17of five mathematical sequences. You just need to tell us
0:30:17 > 0:30:20the sixth number in each of these sequences, please.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21Very best of luck.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24OK, let's reveal our five sequences - and here they are.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25We've got...
0:30:39 > 0:30:41I shall read those one last time.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Dan and Omar will go first.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Might be 198 for the last one.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05We're going to risk it.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10Let's try 198 for the bottom one.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14198 for the bottom one.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17198, say Dan and Omar.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Now then, Francis and Tori.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22I hate maths even more than politics.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26I'm just going to go for the obvious one, the top one,
0:31:26 > 0:31:29which is the Fibonacci sequence, so I'm going to go for eight.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31You're going to go for eight.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33So, we have 198 from Dan and Omar
0:31:33 > 0:31:36and we have eight from Francis and Tori.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Now, Dan and Omar, 198 - let's see if that is right
0:31:38 > 0:31:40for the bottom sequence.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Let's see how many of our 100 people said it if it is.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46No.
0:31:46 > 0:31:47I'm afraid not 198,
0:31:47 > 0:31:50but we'll ask to see your workings later.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Francis and Tori, that means you merely have to be right
0:31:54 > 0:31:56with this answer, the Fibonacci sequence,
0:31:56 > 0:31:58and you are straight through to the final.
0:31:58 > 0:31:59Let's find out. Eight - was that right?
0:31:59 > 0:32:01How many people said it if it is?
0:32:04 > 0:32:05It's right.
0:32:06 > 0:32:07That's the important thing.
0:32:07 > 0:32:0974 is what it scored.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Crucially, after two questions,
0:32:11 > 0:32:13you are now through to the final 2-0.
0:32:14 > 0:32:15Well played, Francis and Tori.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Yeah, the Fibonacci sequence is simply adding together
0:32:18 > 0:32:20the two previous numbers in any sequence.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Take us through your workings for the bottom one, for 198.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24I think I see what I've done.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28I did six times six, which gets us to 36,
0:32:28 > 0:32:30and then I times that by six, and I think...
0:32:30 > 0:32:32I believed it was cubing it,
0:32:32 > 0:32:34but I think I've misunderstood how cubing works.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- Well, yeah, I think you've just done your sum incorrectly.- Oh, no!
0:32:37 > 0:32:38You are 100% right about how to do it.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41We've got one times one times one, two times two times two,
0:32:41 > 0:32:42three times three times three, etc.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Six times six times six, though, is 216.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47- Ah.- So you missed out 18 somewhere.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- Dang.- Would have scored you 17 points,
0:32:50 > 0:32:52so it would have been a terrific answer.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54The second one down is square numbers.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56The next one on that list would be 36...
0:32:56 > 0:32:59and that would've scored you 68 points.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01The next one down is...
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- Prime numbers.- The prime numbers. And the next one on that list is 13.
0:33:06 > 0:33:07That would've scored you 22 points.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Confusing when there's points as well.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Also, 17 would be the next number after that.
0:33:12 > 0:33:13Then it's just powers of ten.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15- So the answer is...- A million.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18One million. That would've scored 87 points.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21Thanks very much, Richard. So, the pair leaving us
0:33:21 > 0:33:24at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid, Dan and Omar.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Well, you've got Carol Vorderman.
0:33:26 > 0:33:27You'll always have Carol Vorderman.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28The most we could hope for.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30The thing is, you'd have impressed Carol Vorderman so much
0:33:30 > 0:33:33and then, immediately, you'd have lost her because of the maths.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Absolutely awful. Had her and lost her.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Anyway, we get to see you again next time,
0:33:37 > 0:33:39we'll look forward to that very much indeed.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41In the meantime, thanks very much, Dan and Omar.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43APPLAUSE
0:33:44 > 0:33:46But for Francis and Tori, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Congratulations, Francis and Tori,
0:33:52 > 0:33:54you've seen off all the competition
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.- Yes!
0:34:03 > 0:34:06You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:34:06 > 0:34:10and, at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,250.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16You know what? I just have a hunch,
0:34:16 > 0:34:18I have a hunch that jackpot's going to be yours.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20I just feel it just might be.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22There's been something about the way you've played.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Edward Heath, first question, William Gladstone.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28It all just feels like it's falling slightly into place -
0:34:28 > 0:34:302-0 in the head-to-head. And there's no arguing...
0:34:30 > 0:34:32And a father-and-daughter team as well.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34There you are. You know what happens in this round,
0:34:34 > 0:34:37we put four things up on the board of varying degrees of impossibility.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39You then choose the one that you think you're probably
0:34:39 > 0:34:43going to flounder in the least, and we hope it all goes well.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- Thank you.- Sometimes, on days like today, it just falls brilliantly.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48So, fingers crossed it does.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Today's selection looks like this.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- Definitely not Russia or Podium Finishes.- Podium...
0:35:02 > 0:35:03No. I think go for Women.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Yeah? I think Women will do.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06- Influential?- Yep.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09OK. There we are. Influential Women.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12OK, very best of luck. Three very different questions here.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14I hope one of these suits you. Very best of luck.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16The first question is,
0:35:16 > 0:35:19we're looking for any of the cast of the 2015 film Suffragette,
0:35:19 > 0:35:21according to IMDb.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23So any actor cast in Suffragette.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26We are looking for any female Nobel Laureate
0:35:26 > 0:35:28up to the end of 2015, please,
0:35:28 > 0:35:30so from 1901 through to 2015,
0:35:30 > 0:35:34in chemistry, physics, literature, peace, physiology,
0:35:34 > 0:35:36medicine or economics.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Or we're looking for any of Forbes' top 50 powerful women,
0:35:39 > 0:35:42the most powerful women in the world of 2015.
0:35:42 > 0:35:47So, the cast of Suffragette, female Nobel Laureates from 1901 to 2015,
0:35:47 > 0:35:52or anyone on that list of Forbes' top 50 most powerful women of 2015.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Very, very best of luck, you've been terrific so far.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58Thank you very much. Well, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:35:58 > 0:36:01to come up with three answers, and all you need to win that jackpot
0:36:01 > 0:36:03is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05- Are you ready?- Yes.- Yes.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10There they are, your time starts now.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- Go for the top women. - What about Suffragette?
0:36:12 > 0:36:14No, no, nothing from the film.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17No. Only the obvious ones.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19- Like the 50 most powerful women? - Yeah.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21What about people like Beyonce?
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Yeah, it's not just presidents or that.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27No, no, I think... Powerful women.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29- ..and stuff like that.- OK.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32Can you think of anybody? Start naming them.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Like Beyonce, if you fancy it, cos she is powerful, isn't she?
0:36:35 > 0:36:38- Yeah.- The other ones, I'm trying to think...
0:36:38 > 0:36:43Oh, God, my mind has gone blank, cos it's down to the clock.
0:36:43 > 0:36:4450 most powerful women...
0:36:44 > 0:36:46We're saying three.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50What about an actress? Who's currently a powerful actress?
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- Meryl Streep. - Only Oprah Winfrey, Meryl Streep.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Yeah, Oprah Winfrey, she's powerful.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57She's got to be there.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01- Yeah.- Ten seconds left. - Obvious, isn't it?
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- Lots of other people.- Mm-hmm.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07So, Oprah Winfrey, Beyonce and Hillary Clinton.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Erm...
0:37:09 > 0:37:11OK, that is your time up, I'm afraid.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12Never long enough, that minute.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14- All right.- Let's have your three answers.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17We're going to go for the 50... Top 50 powerful women.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19- Forbes' top 50. - With all three answers?- Yeah.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20OK. And they are...?
0:37:20 > 0:37:22I'm going to say Hillary Clinton.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24- Hillary Clinton.- Beyonce.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Beyonce.- And...
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Oprah Winfrey.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Oprah Winfrey. OK, three good answers there.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Of those three, which do you think is your best shot
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- at a pointless answer?- Beyonce?
0:37:36 > 0:37:37- Yeah.- Let's put Beyonce last.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39- Least likely?- Hillary Clinton.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Hillary Clinton. Then we put Oprah Winfrey in the middle.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44OK, let's put those up on the board in that order, then,
0:37:44 > 0:37:46and here they are. We have got...
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Well, very, very best of luck. Three great answers there.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Now, if one of these happens to be pointless
0:37:55 > 0:37:56and wins that jackpot for you,
0:37:56 > 0:37:59what would you like to do with your winnings?
0:37:59 > 0:38:00Francis, you first.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Well, it's my 40th wedding anniversary this year...
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- Congratulations.- ..and my wife and myself are both 60 this year,
0:38:06 > 0:38:08so that would obviously help towards a special...
0:38:08 > 0:38:12- It's got to be something special, hasn't it?- Yeah.- Yeah. That'll help.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14- Tori, how about you? - Mine's towards something special.
0:38:14 > 0:38:19I've just seen that WWE are releasing tickets for SummerSlam
0:38:19 > 0:38:22and they're doing, like, whole packages.
0:38:22 > 0:38:23Oh, SummerSlam!
0:38:23 > 0:38:25It includes all the tickets,
0:38:25 > 0:38:27meet-and-greets for the stars and everything,
0:38:27 > 0:38:29and that's what I'd put it towards.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Slightly makes your thing look a little bit silly, Francis,
0:38:32 > 0:38:33- doesn't it?- Yeah, it does!
0:38:33 > 0:38:36This is what me and her mum have worked 40 years for!
0:38:38 > 0:38:41OK, well, all three of your answers were in the category
0:38:41 > 0:38:44of Forbes' top 50 most powerful women in 2015.
0:38:44 > 0:38:45Your first answer was Hillary Clinton,
0:38:45 > 0:38:48the one you thought was probably least likely to be pointless.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Only one of them has to be pointless, remember,
0:38:50 > 0:38:53but let's find out. Hillary Clinton, for £2,250,
0:38:53 > 0:38:54how many people said it?
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- It's right.- It's right, that's the main thing.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04It just has to go down to zero now and you will leave with £2,250.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06It... Oh, 44.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08APPLAUSE
0:39:08 > 0:39:12She was always... She was a placeholder, wasn't she?
0:39:12 > 0:39:1444 for Hillary Clinton. Obviously not a pointless answer.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Your next answer was Oprah Winfrey,
0:39:16 > 0:39:20again, from Forbes' top 50 most powerful women of 2015.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25So, for £2,250, how many people said Oprah Winfrey?
0:39:29 > 0:39:30It's right.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Hillary Clinton took us down to 44.
0:39:33 > 0:39:34Oprah Winfrey now takes us down,
0:39:34 > 0:39:37passing 44 comfortably, through the 30s,
0:39:37 > 0:39:39into the 20s, into the teens, down...
0:39:39 > 0:39:40Oh, 15.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- Getting better.- It's getting better. - Going in the right direction.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Absolutely. Keep that up, on that trajectory,
0:39:48 > 0:39:50and you should be down to pointless for your last answer.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Let's hope nobody said Beyonce Knowles,
0:39:53 > 0:39:55your third and final answer.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57It has to be pointless again for you to win.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00So, for £2,250, how many people said Beyonce Knowles?
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Please, can it be pointless?
0:40:05 > 0:40:06Well, it's right.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08- Three correct answers.- Come on.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Hillary Clinton took us down to 44.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Oprah Winfrey took us down to 15.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Beyonce Knowles takes us down, passing 15...
0:40:15 > 0:40:16Oh, 13.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Oh, I'm sorry.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20APPLAUSE
0:40:22 > 0:40:26Well, now that minute's finished, we can think of a million and one...
0:40:26 > 0:40:29- Yeah.- Well, 47 of the other...- Yeah.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31..top most powerful women.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34I'm sorry. You didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer
0:40:34 > 0:40:38and I'm afraid you don't, therefore, win today's jackpot of £2,250.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40That will roll over onto the next show.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42But so much to be proud of on this show,
0:40:42 > 0:40:46a great performance right across the show and you get to take home
0:40:46 > 0:40:47a Pointless trophy each. So, there we are,
0:40:47 > 0:40:49something to show for it. Brilliant contestants.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51- Thank you so much.- Thank you.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Yeah, very well played, Francis and Tori.
0:40:59 > 0:41:00A lovely category to choose as well.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04We'll start with the Suffragette cast of that 2015 film.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07The following were pointless -
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Adrian Schiller, who played David Lloyd George,
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Grace Stottor, Romola Garai was a pointless answer,
0:41:12 > 0:41:13the wonderful Samuel West.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16Everyone in that film other than the following was a pointless answer.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19So you would have scored points for Carey Mulligan, Meryl Streep,
0:41:19 > 0:41:23Helena Bonham Carter, Ben Wishaw, Anne-Marie Duff and Brendan Gleeson.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Every other actor in that film was a pointless answer,
0:41:25 > 0:41:27so well done if you said any of those.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Let's take a look at some of those female Nobel Laureates now.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32The wonderful Alice Munro was a pointless answer,
0:41:32 > 0:41:35she was a short story writer who won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38If you haven't read her short stories, absolutely brilliant.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Incredibly approachable as well, very easy to read.
0:41:40 > 0:41:41A wonderful writer.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Barbara McClintock won for physiology on medicine.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who was the first female African
0:41:47 > 0:41:50elected head of state in Liberia - she won the Nobel Peace Prize.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53And Toni Morrison also won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56In fact, everyone on that list was pointless other than Marie Curie,
0:41:56 > 0:41:58who was the biggest scorer with 45,
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Mother Teresa, Malala Yousafzai, of course,
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Nadine Gordimer, Ada Yonath and Doris Lessing.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Everyone else was a pointless answer,
0:42:05 > 0:42:08so well done if you said anyone else on that list.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12And finally, the Forbes' top 50 most powerful women.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15So, Anna Wintour, who's the editor-in-chief of Vogue.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Dilma Rousseff, who is Brazil's first female president.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Helen Clark is very high up at the UN.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Nancy Pelosi, she is the head of the Democrats
0:42:23 > 0:42:25in the US House of Representatives.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Everyone on that list, apart from the ones you said,
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Queen Elizabeth II also on that list, Angela Merkel,
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Michelle Obama, Christine Lagarde would have scored you points.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who was the head of Argentina,
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Melinda Gates, Ellen DeGeneres and Marissa Mayer all scored points.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Everyone else on the list was a pointless answer.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Well done if you got any of those at home, and unlucky in the studio,
0:42:46 > 0:42:49but some amazing names on some those lists.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Thanks very much.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Well, Francis and Tori sadly didn't win our jackpot,
0:42:54 > 0:42:57which means it rolls over onto the next show
0:42:57 > 0:42:59when we will be playing for £3,250.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
