0:00:16 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless -
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where we are always striving to find the most obscure answers.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- Couple number one. - Hi, my name's Jo, and this is Leon,
0:00:37 > 0:00:40and we're from Louth in Lincolnshire.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Leeanne and this is my mum, Paula,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44and we are from Huddersfield.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Alison.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49I'm from Cambridge. This is my son, George, he's from London.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51And finally, couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Omar. This is my best friend, Dan,
0:00:53 > 0:00:55and we are from Camberley in Surrey.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56And these are today's contestants.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58APPLAUSE
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Thank you very much, all of you. A warm welcome to the show.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04We'll get to chat to you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07He's, and I quote,
0:01:07 > 0:01:11"The nicest person his parole officer has ever met."
0:01:11 > 0:01:13It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon to you.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20- And to you.- How are you?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- I'm very well, thank you.- Excellent. Are you sure?- Yeah, I am.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27I never get the chance to say, "And how are you, Richard?" You must think I'm so rude.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30That's nice. Yeah, I've been pretty bad recently.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34No, I'm fine. I'm very well, thank you.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Looking forward to today's show as well.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39On podium four, there, we've got Dan and Omar, very strong last time,
0:01:39 > 0:01:40got all the way through to the head-to-head,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43got knocked out on a tricky maths question.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Interesting, of course, cos, on the last show,
0:01:44 > 0:01:49the people who beat you in that head-to-head were Tori and Francis, who were a father-and-daughter team.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53We said father-and-daughter teams often do very well and they got through to the jackpot round.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Today, we have a mother-and-son team, and they also do well, Alison and George, on podium three.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00But it could be anyone's game. The first round, you know, people get in trouble.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03We don't let people say, "It's before my time." It's banned on this show.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06No-one is saying, "That's before my time," on the first round.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Well, thank you very much indeed.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Now, Francis and Tori didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12which means we add another £1,000 to that,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15so today's jackpot starts off at £3,250.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31The pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:31 > 0:02:34will be eliminated. That's all you need to remember.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Very, very best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Our first category this afternoon...
0:02:39 > 0:02:40is Recent History.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Recent History.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Can you all decide, in your pairs, who is going to go first,
0:02:44 > 0:02:48who is going to go second and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54OK. And the question concerns...
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Events of the noughties.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Events of the noughties, Richard.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00We're going to show you seven clues on each pass
0:03:00 > 0:03:03to events that happened in the decade we know as the noughties,
0:03:03 > 0:03:042000-2009,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07you just have to give us the most obscure answer you can, please.
0:03:07 > 0:03:0914 in all to have a go at at home.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12So, we are looking of the events of the noughties that are described by
0:03:12 > 0:03:15these clues. Here's our first board of seven, and it reads like this.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53I shall read those one last time.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Leon, welcome to Pointless.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Good to have you here.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31From Louth in Lincolnshire.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Indeed.- And what do you do in Louth, Leon?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36I'm a manager in a bakery.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Oh, now, that is nice.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Is it a sort of artisan bakery?
0:04:43 > 0:04:44It's a wholesale bakery, really.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49- So, we have a couple of shops and then a few hundred other wholesale customers.- I see.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53I don't do a lot of baking, though, I work in the office.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Oh, if you ever wanted to sell that office, people would come and go...
0:04:56 > 0:04:57"Oh! Oh!
0:04:57 > 0:05:00"I don't know what it is, that smell, I've got to buy this."
0:05:00 > 0:05:03That's why I accidentally bought that coffee factory the other day.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Exactly.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Amazing. Now, Leon.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- Yes.- What would you like to go for on this board?
0:05:11 > 0:05:16I think I know two or three of them and I'm going to go for the top one,
0:05:16 > 0:05:18I think it's Woolworths.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Woolworths, says Leon.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Let's see if that is right, and if it is,
0:05:21 > 0:05:24let's see how many people said it. Woolworths.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27It is right. Very well done, Leon.
0:05:29 > 0:05:3054.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31APPLAUSE
0:05:31 > 0:05:34I think you deserved a bit lower than that, personally,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36but there we are. 54. Not bad.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Well played, Leon.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Eight years ago. Blimey, time flies, doesn't it?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- Doesn't it?- I do miss Woolworths.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Nice. Now, Paula, welcome to Pointless.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Great to have you here from Huddersfield.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51- What do you do, Paula?- I work for the local council in Huddersfield.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53How long have you been working for them?
0:05:53 > 0:05:54About 31 years now.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Wow. You must know it inside out.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58I know bits of it.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Which particular bit do you know the best?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03The bits that I work in.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Which bits do you work in?
0:06:06 > 0:06:07LAUGHTER
0:06:07 > 0:06:10I work in the contracts section.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I see. What are your hobbies, Paula?
0:06:13 > 0:06:18I like adult colouring-in.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20The books. The colouring-in books.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Yes, what's...?- To de-stress.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24What's the adult...?
0:06:24 > 0:06:25I just...
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Let's move on, let's move on, let's move on.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Paula, what would you like to go for on our board?
0:06:29 > 0:06:33I'd like to go for the bottom one,
0:06:33 > 0:06:39the US band who had their first UK number one single with Sex On Fire.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Kings Of Leon.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Kings Of Leon, says Paula.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Let's see how many of our 100 people said Kings Of Leon.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47It's right.
0:06:51 > 0:06:5233.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53APPLAUSE
0:06:56 > 0:06:5933. A less popular answer than Woolworths, who would've thought that?
0:06:59 > 0:07:00- Kings Of Leon.- Well played, Paula.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Yeah, their only UK number one single.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04They've had four UK number one albums, though.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Indeed. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09George. What do you get up to, George?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Well, for the last year, I've been plumbing and, in my own time,
0:07:12 > 0:07:13I like to, kind of, come up with inventions.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Let's just quickly do the plumbing first.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Plumbing, I mean, that's a wonderful thing to be doing.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Presumably highly in demand.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Most plumbers are. Myself, I have a few leaks, occasionally,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- so maybe not so much but... - LAUGHTER
0:07:25 > 0:07:26You have just said that on BBC One.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Er...
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Now, let's just move on to the inventions.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33George, what's the thing you're proudest of to date?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36My favourite one was... I invented it last summer, and it was, like,
0:07:36 > 0:07:38a lunchbox which keeps your ice creams frozen.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41I haven't made it yet but it was, kind of, an idea more than an invention.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Have you worked out how to do it?
0:07:42 > 0:07:43No. No.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44LAUGHTER
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Oh, hang on, I have an invention -
0:07:48 > 0:07:51a tower block that's a rocket.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52That's another one of mine.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55You can all live quite close together AND get to the moon.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57I'll tell you what, it's the shape and size of a laptop,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59but it's really a time machine.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Haven't worked out how to make it work yet, but good idea, right?
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Good idea.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Oh, keep the inventions coming, George.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09What would you like to go for, George?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I think I would go to the second from the top,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15the particle accelerator near Geneva,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17and I believe it is the Large Hadron Collider.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19The Large "Hay-dron" or "Hah-dron" Collider,
0:08:19 > 0:08:21let's see if that's right.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23How many of our 100 people said it?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29It is right. Well, 54's our highest score and we pass that.
0:08:29 > 0:08:3133 our low score, we pass that.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34What about that?!
0:08:34 > 0:08:35APPLAUSE
0:08:38 > 0:08:39There you go - 9.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Very well done indeed.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Yeah, cost £2.6 billion to make.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48It can fire particles at 671 million miles an hour and it can heat things
0:08:48 > 0:08:53up to 100,000 times hotter than the heart of the sun.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Isn't that amazing? All invented by George.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Yeah.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Incredible.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Now, then, Dan, welcome back.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Dan, head-to-head last time.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Yes.- Remind us what you do, Dan.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I'm a part-time PhD student and I also do some assistant lecturing in
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- sports psychology.- That's fantastic, so, the sports psychology,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16does that leave any time for you to do other things?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Invent stuff, maybe?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20No, no inventions this year, unfortunately.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Just reading a lot of journal articles
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- but that's how I like to live now, so...- Well, very good.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Now, Dan.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Yes.- This board, do you want to go through them all and fill them in?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34I know who directed the film, Life Of Pi, but, unfortunately,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36the name of the novelist who wrote it, I don't know.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I'm going to have to play it safe and go for Facebook,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41for Mark Zuckerberg.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42OK, Facebook, says Dan.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said Facebook.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49It's right.
0:09:49 > 0:09:5085.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51APPLAUSE
0:09:51 > 0:09:5485 for Facebook.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Yeah, it's a big scorer.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Again, amazing that's only 2004, isn't it,
0:09:58 > 0:10:00when you think of the value of it now?
0:10:00 > 0:10:01- I know.- Incredible.
0:10:01 > 0:10:0485 points. Now, the soldier awarded the Victoria Cross -
0:10:04 > 0:10:08very well done if you got this, it's the best answer on the board - was Johnson Beharry.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Would have scored you 5 points.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Do you know the nickname of 30 St Mary Axe?
0:10:12 > 0:10:13- Gherkin.- The Gherkin.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Correct. Would've scored you 24.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17And the author of that novel?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- Yann Martel. - Yann Martel is the answer.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21That would have scored you 12.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23So, Johnson Beharry, best answer on the board.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Thanks very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:27 > 0:10:309, George and Alison, very well done indeed.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Your nearest rivals are Paula and Leeanne, on 33.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Then up to 54, Leon and Jo.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37then up to 85, Dan and Omar, our heads-to-headers last time.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40We're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:45 > 0:10:49OK, seven more clues to go up on the board for events from the noughties.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Here they are. We've got...
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I'll read those one last time.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Now, Omar, welcome back. Remind us what you do, Omar.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07So, I'm a book editor.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08But what kind of books?
0:12:08 > 0:12:12So, a lot of comic books, a lot of film and TV books.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Fun stuff, basically. - I mean, it's pointless stuff.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- It's a pointless gold mine, isn't it?- Absolutely. - You kind of have a bit...
0:12:17 > 0:12:20What I'm saying is that you have no excuse not to score very low here.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Oh, OK. Pressure.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Fine. This is just... Music to your ears, I would imagine.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29There are a few that I know, that I'm confident of,
0:12:29 > 0:12:31but I think I'm going to have to go for a gamble.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- OK.- I'm going for the bank that was nationalised in 2008.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I believe that was Northern Rock.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Northern Rock, says Omar.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42No red line for you, Omar,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44as you are the high scorers but let's see how far down the column
0:12:44 > 0:12:46you can get with Northern Rock.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47Let's see if it's right.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51It is right.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Look at that, 32.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58APPLAUSE
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Very well done indeed.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00117 is your total.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Yeah, again, perhaps a score bigger than you'd think.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Like Woolworths as well. It's interesting.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08The stories that really stay with people and the names that stay with people.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13Yeah, the first British bank in 150 years to suffer a run, in 2007.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Thank you very much, Richard.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Alison, I have good news.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22It doesn't matter what you score here, you are still going through to the next round.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25But let's put that to one side for the moment. Tell us what you do, Alison.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26I'm a decorator.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- How long have you done that for? - 15 years.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30It must be really satisfying.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34I mean, no room ever looks better than just after it's been decorated.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36And what are your interests when not decorating?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38I like playing a bit of sport.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40None of which I'm very good at.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43But my best hobby is embarrassing my children when I can.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Oh, that's fun. I try and do that as often as I can.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Alison, there you are on 9.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Doesn't matter what you score, you're through to the next round anyhow.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53What would you like to go for?
0:13:53 > 0:13:56In that case, I think I'm going to be a coward and go for the top one,
0:13:56 > 0:13:57and say Doctor Who.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Doctor Who, says Alison.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03No red line, you're already through.
0:14:07 > 0:14:0876.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09APPLAUSE
0:14:09 > 0:14:1285 is your total.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Yeah, 2005 saw the first regular episode of Doctor Who
0:14:15 > 0:14:16in over 15 years.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18That's exciting, wasn't it?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- Still going now.- Still going.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21- Still on telly.- Yeah.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26OK, now, Leeanne, what do you get up to in Huddersfield, Leeanne?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29There's not much, really, to do in Huddersfield, to be honest.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34But in my meantime, I am a student with the Open University.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- What are you studying? - Childhood and youth studies.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Do you know how long you're going to be doing the course for?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Have you selected which length you go for?
0:14:41 > 0:14:42I'm doing it part-time at the moment.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44So, what is that, four years?
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Minimum of four.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48If I decide to go full, more six.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50See, that's nice. You're taking it at your own pace.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- Yeah.- Oh, I wish...
0:14:52 > 0:14:56If I'd done university at that place, I'd probably still be doing my course now.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59But there we are. Anyway, listen, Leeanne, there you are on 33.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Our high scorers are on 117,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03our head-to-headers last time, Omar and Dan.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07If you can score 83 or less, you are into the next round.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Well, I know four, I think.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15I think I am going to go for the planet discovered in 1930,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18reclassified as a dwarf planet, as Pluto.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19Pluto, says Leeanne.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Pluto. Here's your red line.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Get below that with Pluto, you are in the next round.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25How many of our 100 people said Pluto?
0:15:28 > 0:15:29It's right and you're through.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Very well done.
0:15:31 > 0:15:3359. Good answer, Leeanne.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34APPLAUSE
0:15:34 > 0:15:36That takes your total up to 92.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Well played, Leeanne.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Good answer. It was very disconcerting for everybody when that was reclassified, wasn't it?
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Cos we grew up with a certain knowledge of how many planets there were, now there's one fewer.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48I think there's going to be more discovered, some might be reclassified.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49There might be hundreds, eventually.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52There we are. Now, Jo, welcome to Pointless.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53Great to have you here. What do you do, Jo?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I'm actually studying with the Open Uni as well.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57I'm doing a psychology degree.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01And I also work part-time in a petrol station as a sales advisor.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Do you have some kind of cafe in there?- No.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05- Oh, what a relief.- It's very small.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08I know, but wouldn't it be terrible if you had muffins being baked...?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Well, Leon will know this from experience.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Having muffins being baked in your place of work.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- Yeah, that wouldn't be good. - Oh! Ah, it'd be terrible.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17OK, Jo, there you are.
0:16:17 > 0:16:1954. You have to score 62 or less to get through to the next round.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Do you want to talk us through that board?
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Well, the only ones that I knew have gone now.
0:16:25 > 0:16:31But I have a feeling that the last one might be Avatar.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Avatar, says Jo. Here is your red line.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Get below that with Avatar and you are through to the next round.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38How many people said Avatar?
0:16:41 > 0:16:42It's right.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45And you're through. Very well done.
0:16:45 > 0:16:4741. Superb. APPLAUSE
0:16:47 > 0:16:5095 is your total.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Well played, Jo.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Very nicely done. Yes, set in the mid-22nd century, Avatar,
0:16:56 > 0:16:58which is not that far away, is it, if you think about it?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00- Not really. - Now, the Alan Bennett play...
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- The History Boys. - ..is The History Boys, yep.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Would've scored 8 points.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06The British female athlete is Dame Kelly Holmes.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- Kelly Holmes. - Would've scored you 16.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10And the best answer on the board,
0:17:10 > 0:17:13scored England's only try, was Jason Robinson.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Would've scored you 3 points.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- Very well done if you said that. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21So, at the end of our first round, the pair who we're sending home...
0:17:21 > 0:17:23I can't believe this, Omar and Dan.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27I really can't. But our only returning pair and we send you back for an early bath, I'm afraid.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30But it's been great having you on. Thanks so much for playing, Omar and Dan.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43And so we are down to three pairs.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47At the end of this round, obviously, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Well, George, the Hadron Collider.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Very, very well done.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- Thank you. - The best answer of that round.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Our category for Round Two this afternoon...
0:17:57 > 0:17:58..is TV Comedy.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01TV Comedy. Can you decide in your pairs, who's going to go first,
0:18:01 > 0:18:03who's going to go second and whoever's going first,
0:18:03 > 0:18:05please step up to the podium.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12OK. And the question concerns...
0:18:12 > 0:18:15TV comedy shows with "The" in the title.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20TV comedy shows with "The" in the title, Richard.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Xander is about to show you a list of six TV comedy shows.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24They all start with the word "The".
0:18:24 > 0:18:26They also have the year they first appeared.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31We're looking for anyone who's appeared in five or more episodes of any of these shows, please.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Thank you very much.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36So, as Richard just mentioned, we're going to put that list up of comedy shows.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38That list will stay up the whole way through the round.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41So, we won't be changing that list halfway through. It'll stay for the whole round.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44You just have to name anyone who's appeared in five or more episodes.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48You don't even have to say which show it is you're talking about, just throw out a name.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Let's reveal our six shows, and here they are.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06I'll read those all again.
0:19:12 > 0:19:19- Jo.- I think I shall go for The Rise And Fall Of Reginald Perrin,
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- Leonard Rossiter. - Leonard Rossiter, says Jo.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Leonard Rossiter. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Leonard Rossiter.
0:19:32 > 0:19:3447.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35APPLAUSE
0:19:35 > 0:19:3747 for Leonard Rossiter.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Yeah, appeared in 21 episodes.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Obviously, he plays Reggie Perrin himself.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Thank you, Richard.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Now, Paula.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49The Liver Birds, and I'll go for...
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- Mollie Sugden.- Mollie Sugden.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53I think she played Nerys Hughes' mum.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Mollie Sugden, says Paula.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said
0:19:58 > 0:19:59Mollie Sugden.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03It's right.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Now, 47 is our only score so far
0:20:05 > 0:20:09and you pass that with Mollie Sugden quite comfortably.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Oh, it's a one! APPLAUSE
0:20:11 > 0:20:12It's a one, Paula.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Very well done, indeed.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16That's a great score. Mollie Sugden.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18It's a great answer, Paula.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Very well played, yeah. 49 episodes she was in and she did play
0:20:22 > 0:20:26the character you say. Obviously, the other person you mentioned now,
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Leeanne won't be able to use as an answer but anyone else will be allowed to,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32I'm afraid. So, you've given away a little clue there to someone else.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Thank you very much indeed.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Now, George.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38I'm going to go with... I think his name on the show is Moss
0:20:38 > 0:20:40and his name is Richard Och...anoyu...?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45SCOTTISH ACCENT: "Och, I know you," as they say...
0:20:45 > 0:20:46LAUGHTER
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- I think he's Scottish. - As they say...
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Richard Ochanoyu.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Let's see if Richard Ochanoyu is...
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Oh, it's such a good name.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Let's see if it's right.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- Oh.- Unbelievable!
0:21:08 > 0:21:11George, hats off to you.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12I know exactly what you mean.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15I love that you didn't think of going from someone
0:21:15 > 0:21:16whose name you knew!
0:21:16 > 0:21:17LAUGHTER
0:21:19 > 0:21:20I salute you, George.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24That's brilliant. I'm sad to say that it scores you 100 points, though.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- It's wrong.- Of course, a very famous acting family, the Ochanoyus.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32There's Dame Maggie Ochanoyu and, of course, Benedict Ochanoyu,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34who's done amazingly recently, hasn't he?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37But no, Richard, the younger brother is...
0:21:37 > 0:21:40He's a plumber, actually, Richard Ochanoyu.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Thank you very much. Well, before we head down back the line,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44let's check on those scores.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45One, Paula. What about that?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Fabulous answer from you.
0:21:47 > 0:21:5047's where we find Jo and Leon
0:21:50 > 0:21:53and 100, I'm afraid, Richard Ochanoyu,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55on the far podium, George.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57So, Alison, you have a mountain to climb, I'm afraid.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59That's not to say you can't do that.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:06 > 0:22:10OK, Alison. Remember, we are looking for anyone who has appeared in five or more episodes
0:22:10 > 0:22:12of any of these TV shows and, obviously,
0:22:12 > 0:22:15you're going to try and find the lowest possible score you can.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19OK, I am least going to try and find a name that I think is a name.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23And I'm hoping that Robert Powell was in The Detectives.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Robert Powell, says Alison.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28No red line for you as you're the high scorers, but how many people said Robert Powell?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33There we are. Robert Powell.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Good answer. Look at that.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Very well done indeed.
0:22:39 > 0:22:409.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41APPLAUSE
0:22:41 > 0:22:43You might have kept yourself in the game there.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45109 is your total, Alison.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Robert Powell. Not his real name.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51His real name is... Robert Ochanoyu is his real name.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Thank you very much, Richard.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Now then, Leeanne.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Great news for you. You are through to the head-to-head whatever happens.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01But let's see if you've got a good answer.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02I bet you have.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06I'm just going to take a guess
0:23:06 > 0:23:09and I'm going to say, Peter Kay, cos he's been in everything.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Peter Kay. Peter Kay because he's been in everything.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15He has. He's been in everything. No red line as you're already through,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18but let's see how many of our 100 people said Peter Kay, if it's right.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24He hasn't been in any of these, Leeanne, I'm afraid.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26That scores you 100 points,
0:23:26 > 0:23:28takes your total up to 101 but you are through anyway.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Yeah, sorry, Leeanne. I mean,
0:23:30 > 0:23:33the good news is that you're so far away from not being the worst answer
0:23:33 > 0:23:35we've had in this round, so that's...
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Thanks very much, Richard.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Now, Leon, this is exciting.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42- No.- This is exciting.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45You're on 47. You have to score 61 or less.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49I don't think it's Richard... But Richard O'Dowell.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51- Richard O'Dowell.- Yeah.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Richard O'Dowell, says Leon.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56There is your red line, Leon.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Now, a lot is hanging here.
0:23:58 > 0:24:04This could be the moment where the Ochanoyu is but a distant memory.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06We will have to find out. Richard O'Dowell.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Is that a correct answer?
0:24:08 > 0:24:11And, if it is correct, will it get you below that red line?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Let's see how may people said Richard O'Dowell.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Oh, no.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Sorry. Sorry, Leon.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22I think I know what you were going for
0:24:22 > 0:24:26but I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 147.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27Yeah, can I point out, Paula,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30earlier in the round, literally said, "Nerys Hughes"?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32She said, "Nerys Hughes".
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Would have scored you 21 points, Nerys Hughes,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36if anyone had fancied saying it.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Now, this is all about the IT Crowd.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42The two main actors in the IT Crowd, and they are Chris O'Dowd -
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Chris O'Dowd would have scored you 11 points -
0:24:44 > 0:24:46..and Richard Ayoade...
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- Close. - ..who would have scored you...
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Not really close, to be honest.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53You got the first name absolutely spot-on.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57He would have scored you 11 points as well.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00I'll take you through some of the big scorers, scores that would have seen you through.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03James Corden in The Wrong Mans would have only scored you 12 points.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05The IT Crowd, Noel Fielding would have scored you five,
0:25:05 > 0:25:10Katherine Parkinson - five, Matt Berry - four. Chris Morris would have scored you one.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Rise And Fall Of Reginald Perrin, Geoffrey Palmer would have scored you two.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Lots of pointless answers on The Rise And Fall Of Reginald Perrin,
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Sue Nicholls would have been a great answer. Leslie Schofield as well.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Pointless answers on The Liver Birds.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Michael Angelis, famous Liverpudlian actor, was a pointless answer.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Bill Dean, Jonathan Lynn as well.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Pointless answers on The Thin Blue Line, you could have had...
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Mina Anwar was a pointless answer on that. Terrific actress.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34The Wrong Mans, pointless answers,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Stephen Campbell Moore was a pointless answer,
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Dawn French plays James Corden's mum in The Wrong Mans,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41she was a pointless answer. So, very well done if you said of those.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Let's take a look at the top three scorers.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Jasper Carrott, 24,
0:25:45 > 0:25:48obviously, was in The Detectives alongside Robert Powell.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Rowan Atkinson there, 39, Thin Blue Line.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53And Leonard Rossiter, 47, biggest score of all.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54Thanks very much, Richard.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56So, at the end of our second round,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59the pair we've got to say goodbye to with a high score of 147 -
0:25:59 > 0:26:00Leon and Jo, it is you.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02But we'll see you again next time.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Look forward to that very much. In the meantime, thanks so much, Leon and Jo.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06APPLAUSE
0:26:09 > 0:26:11But for Paula and Leeanne, Alison and George,
0:26:11 > 0:26:13it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Congratulations, Paula and Leeanne, Alison and George,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24you are now one step closer to the final and the chance to play for
0:26:24 > 0:26:28our jackpot, which currently stands at £3,250.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Well, here we are.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35We've now reached that lovely plateau from which we can start
0:26:35 > 0:26:38playing as teams. You can confer before you give your answers
0:26:38 > 0:26:41and the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Best of luck to both pairs.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52And your first question of the head-to-head concerns...
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Commonwealth Capital Cities, Richard.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59We're going to show you five pictures now of capital cities of
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Commonwealth countries. Can you identify the most obscure of these?
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five pictures, and here they are.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31There we are.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Five pictures of Commonwealth capital cities.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Now, Paula and Leeanne, you've been our low scorers so you will go first.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:27:46 > 0:27:49We're going to go for B and Kuala Lumpur.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52B, Kuala Lumpur, say Paula and Leeanne.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Now, Alison and George, those other capitals are all yours.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- Talk us through them.- Well, I think the letters tell me Cape Town.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Yeah, guessing by the letters, I'd say A might be...
0:28:02 > 0:28:03- Islamabad.- Oh, nice.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05C may be Ottawa.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08D could be Wellington in New Zealand.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Shall we punt on A, Islamabad?
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Yeah, let's go for it.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- Why not?- We'll go for A, Islamabad.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Islamabad. So, we have Kuala Lumpur and we have Islamabad.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Now, Paula and Leeanne went for Kuala Lumpur.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21Let's see if that is right for B.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Let's see how many of our 100 people said Kuala Lumpur.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28It is right.
0:28:30 > 0:28:3263 for Kuala Lumpur.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33APPLAUSE
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Now then, Alison and George have gone for Islamabad.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41If it's right, I suspect it'll be a low score but it has to be right.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Let's find out. Islamabad.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44How many people said it?
0:28:47 > 0:28:48It is right.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52And it wins you the point. Very well done. By a margin.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Look at that. Down it...
0:28:54 > 0:28:55APPLAUSE
0:28:57 > 0:28:596 points for Islamabad.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Yeah, very nicely played, Alison.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05You knew all the answers apart from C,
0:29:05 > 0:29:07because you said Ottawa and it's actually Ochanoyu,
0:29:07 > 0:29:08which is the capital of...
0:29:08 > 0:29:10LAUGHTER
0:29:12 > 0:29:15It is not. It is, of course, Ottawa.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17You're quite right, the capital of Canada.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- It's very beautiful.- Would have scored you 16. Beautiful, isn't it?
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- All of Canada's beautiful, isn't it? - It is.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24D, you're quite right as well, is Wellington,
0:29:24 > 0:29:26the capital of New Zealand.
0:29:26 > 0:29:3124. And one of the capitals of South Africa, Cape Town,
0:29:31 > 0:29:34and that would have scored you 56.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36So, best answer on the board, Islamabad.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38- Well played.- Thanks, Richard.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40OK, here comes your second question.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Paula and Leeanne, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45But Alison and George will go first, so best of luck.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47It concerns...
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Facts About "Mother".
0:29:50 > 0:29:51Facts About "Mother".
0:29:51 > 0:29:54- This one, or...?- Yeah.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55Let's find out. Richard.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57We're going to give you five clues now.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59They all concern "mother" in some way,
0:29:59 > 0:30:01the word "mother" or the term "mother".
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Let's reveal our five clues to facts about mother,
0:30:06 > 0:30:07and here they are.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Alison and George will go first.
0:31:02 > 0:31:03THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:31:10 > 0:31:12OK, we're going to go for the middle one,
0:31:12 > 0:31:14which is mother of pearl.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Mother of pearl. The other name for nacre.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Now then, Paula and Leeanne.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22- Do you want to talk us through the board?- No!
0:31:22 > 0:31:23We know two.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Game Of Thrones for the first one
0:31:26 > 0:31:29and Mother Teresa for the second one.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32And we're going to go for the top one, Game Of Thrones.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Game Of Thrones, say Paula and Leeanne.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37So, we have mother of pearl and we have Game Of Thrones.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Alison and George went for mother of pearl for nacre.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45It is right.
0:31:49 > 0:31:5035.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51APPLAUSE
0:31:53 > 0:31:5435 for mother of pearl.
0:31:54 > 0:31:59Good score. Paula and Leeanne have gone for Game Of Thrones for the top one. Daenerys.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Is right.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Has to go below 35, though.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Oh, which it does, look at that. There we go. 29.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12APPLAUSE
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Great score. Well done, Paula and Leeanne.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17That's exactly what you needed.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20You're back in the game. After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23And the battle of the mothers is won by Paula as well.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27Well done. You actually chose well there because the other one you knew, Mother Teresa,
0:32:27 > 0:32:29would have scored you 45 points.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31The play Mother Courage is Bertolt Brecht.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34That would have scored you seven. Best answer on the board.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37And the highest score on the board is Old Mother Hubbard,
0:32:37 > 0:32:39who went to fetch her poor doggy a bone.
0:32:39 > 0:32:4077 for that.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Here comes your third question.
0:32:44 > 0:32:45This is the decider.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Whoever wins this one goes through to the final
0:32:47 > 0:32:50and plays for that jackpot, so very best of luck to both pairs.
0:32:50 > 0:32:51It concerns...
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Ranks Of The Royal Navy.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Ranks Of The Royal Navy, Richard.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59We will show you the names now of five ranks of the Royal Navy
0:32:59 > 0:33:02but we've removed alternate letters from each one.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Can you fill in those gaps? And whichever team gives us the most obscure answer
0:33:05 > 0:33:07is going through to play for that jackpot.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Very best of luck to everybody.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12OK. Let's reveal our five ranks and here they are.
0:33:13 > 0:33:14We have got...
0:33:25 > 0:33:26I'll read those all again.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Paula and Leeanne will go first.
0:33:37 > 0:33:38THEY CONFER
0:33:40 > 0:33:43We're going to go for the bottom one.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46- Petty Officer.- Petty Officer, say Paula and Leeanne.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Now, Alison and George, do you want to go through the rest of the board?
0:33:49 > 0:33:51I'm not sure about the second one.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Maybe like Able Rate.
0:33:53 > 0:33:59Third one I think is Midshipman and the fourth one is Leading Hand.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01- Oh!- I think we should go for Leading Hand.
0:34:01 > 0:34:02I think we should go for that one.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Let's go for the second bottom one, Leading Hand.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08Leading Hand, so we're going to have Petty Officer and then Leading Hand.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Now then, Paula and Leeanne went for Petty Officer.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Petty Officer.
0:34:16 > 0:34:17It's right.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18Oh, 76.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20APPLAUSE
0:34:20 > 0:34:2276 for Petty Officer.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Alison and George, meanwhile, have gone for Leading Hand.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Leading Hand.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35It's right, Leading Hand, and not surprisingly,
0:34:35 > 0:34:37that goes down past 76.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Leading Hand is a very low score of 16.
0:34:40 > 0:34:41APPLAUSE Very well done.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43That means Alison and George, after three questions,
0:34:43 > 0:34:46you're through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Very well played there, Alison, terrific work.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Commander at the top there
0:34:51 > 0:34:55would have scored you 90 points, it's a big scorer.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Alison, I think you had a guess for this second one.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59I thought it might be Able Rate.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Absolutely right, it is Able Rate.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04And it's the best answer on the board, 5 points,
0:35:04 > 0:35:06and Midshipman would have scored you 62 points.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11So the pair are leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Paula and Leeanne, I'm afraid it is you.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15There is a great consolation, though, for us,
0:35:15 > 0:35:17which is we get to see you again next time.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Look forward to that very much indeed but in the meantime, thank you so much,
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Paula and Leaenne, really brilliant show you've had today.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Well done.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27But for Alison and George, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:32 > 0:35:33Congratulations, Alison and George,
0:35:33 > 0:35:35you've seen off all the competition
0:35:35 > 0:35:38and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:46 > 0:35:50and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £3,250.
0:35:50 > 0:35:51- AUDIENCE:- Whoo!
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Wow, just brilliant.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Is there anything you particularly would like to see
0:35:58 > 0:36:00in this last round?
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Transport, music possibly.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- Music, transport. - Sport, if it was the right sport.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Well, as always, we'll put four things up on the board.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09We just have to hope there's something there
0:36:09 > 0:36:11you feel comfortable with.
0:36:11 > 0:36:12Our four are...
0:36:21 > 0:36:23I guess Spain might be a bit random.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25- Yeah.- It would be a bit of chance.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28I don't know that many Scandinavian pop groups.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- Spain?- Spain.- Yeah?
0:36:30 > 0:36:31- Spain.- OK, Spain it is.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33- Spain.- OK, very best of luck.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35We're looking for any of the three following things.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38We're looking for the name and regnal number of any king or queen of Spain
0:36:38 > 0:36:40since 1516, please,
0:36:40 > 0:36:44anyone that's been the reigning monarch since 1516.
0:36:44 > 0:36:49The names of any of the 20 La Liga Primera football teams in the 2015/2016 season,
0:36:49 > 0:36:54or the capitals of any of Spain's 17 autonomous communities, please.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57So, kings and queens of Spain, the reigning monarchs since 1516,
0:36:57 > 0:37:00La Liga Primera football teams 2015/16,
0:37:00 > 0:37:03and the capitals of the 17 Spanish autonomous communities.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Very, very best of luck.
0:37:05 > 0:37:06Yeah, very, very best of luck.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:09 > 0:37:12and all you need to win that jackpot is to find just one pointless answer
0:37:12 > 0:37:14among those three. Are you ready?
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- Yes.- Excellent.
0:37:16 > 0:37:17Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22OK, what are you thinking? Do you know any kings and queens?
0:37:22 > 0:37:24No. Maybe Philip II.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26That doesn't sound Spanish.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- No.- La Liga Primera football teams, is that the first league?
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Yeah. It's like Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Mallorca? Is it just Mallorca?
0:37:33 > 0:37:34Malaga? Is that in Spain?
0:37:34 > 0:37:37Malaga is in Spain but I don't know if they've got a football team.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- OK, I think so.- I'm not the one who used to work in a sports bar.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43Capitals of Spanish autonomous communities, do you know any of them?
0:37:43 > 0:37:46None at all. Let's concentrate on the football.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48OK, so we're going to go with football. Oh, gosh! This is tough.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Let's just think of places in Spain.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54OK. There's definitely a team in Mallorca but I don't know if it's a premier...
0:37:54 > 0:37:56- Or a pointless answer. - Or a pointless answer.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57We've got 24 seconds.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00- Almeria? Has that got a team? - Yeah, take that.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- Keep going.- Is it Atletico Madrid?
0:38:03 > 0:38:04- Real Madrid...- Yeah.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Where else is in Spain? Barcelona.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09- Let's go Malaga... - Those are pretty obvious.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- Ten seconds.- And...
0:38:12 > 0:38:13Do they sound good to you?
0:38:13 > 0:38:17- Malaga, Mallorca...- They sound great but have they got anything else tacked on?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21OK, that is your time up, I'm afraid.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23What are your three answers going to be?
0:38:23 > 0:38:25For the king, King Philip II.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Philip II.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31And then for the premiers, is it Real Ma-yorca, Ma-lorca,
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- whatever?- OK, Real Mallorca, you would like to say.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36- Malaga.- And Malaga.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Real Mallorca, Malaga and Philip II.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:44 > 0:38:45Real Mallorca.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48We'll put that one last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:48 > 0:38:49Whatever I said last. Malaga.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Malaga, and then Philip II, we'll put him in the middle.
0:38:52 > 0:38:53And here they are.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58Malaga, Philip II and Real Mallorca.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01They look good written up like that, don't they?
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Very good, solid answers there!
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Well, very best of luck.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07In the first instance, we were looking for
0:39:07 > 0:39:09La Liga Primera football teams
0:39:09 > 0:39:13from the 15/16 series and you went for Malaga.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Let us see if that is correct,
0:39:15 > 0:39:17then let's see if it's pointless.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Best of luck, Malaga.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Oh, it's right! It's right!
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Forget about whether it's pointless, it's right!
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Down it goes. If this goes all the way to zero, you leave with £3,250.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Down into single figures.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Still going down. 4! 4 for Malaga.
0:39:36 > 0:39:37APPLAUSE
0:39:42 > 0:39:45I forgot to ask, if you happen to win the jackpot,
0:39:45 > 0:39:46and there is, you know,
0:39:46 > 0:39:51two more good answers on the board, what would you do with your spoils?
0:39:51 > 0:39:53I've got quite into football this season.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55I've been watching my local team, Cambridge United,
0:39:55 > 0:40:00so I would quite like to maybe do a match ball sponsorship or a season ticket or something there.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02- I think that would be nice. - Very nice indeed, yeah.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06- George, how about you?- I would like to take all the ladies in my life
0:40:06 > 0:40:08out for a day, so my mum, my sister and my girlfriend heading
0:40:08 > 0:40:11out somewhere nice, and also I've got my eye on a really nice new drill.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13I want a new drill for work, so...
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Oh, that's good.
0:40:15 > 0:40:16Quite a big one that I want.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Don't get it anywhere near the pipe!
0:40:18 > 0:40:20That's all I'm saying.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22That's how you do it, isn't it?
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Now, two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Your next answer was Philip II.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30In this case, we were looking for kings and queens of Spain since 1516.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Let's see if Philip II is right.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Let's see how many people said it.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36If it's pointless, it will win you £3,250.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Oh, look at that! Again, absolutely right.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Well, Malaga took us all the way down to 4.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Philip II now taking us down through the 30s, down through the 20s,
0:40:47 > 0:40:49into the teens.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50Oh, 12.
0:40:50 > 0:40:5112 for Philip II.
0:40:51 > 0:40:52APPLAUSE
0:40:54 > 0:40:57So, again, I'm afraid not a pointless answer,
0:40:57 > 0:41:00which means you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04Your third and final answer was Real Mallorca, and you put this last
0:41:04 > 0:41:06as your most confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10Let's find out if it's right, then let's find out if it's pointless.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13If it's both of those things, you leave here with £3,250.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15How many people said Real Mallorca?
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Oh, no!
0:41:20 > 0:41:21I'm sorry.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22APPLAUSE
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Well, two out of three ain't bad.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Malaga, that gave us a run for our money, didn't it?
0:41:32 > 0:41:34- Yeah.- Fantastic, right down to 4,
0:41:34 > 0:41:37but I'm afraid you don't win that jackpot of £3,250.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39That will roll over onto the next show,
0:41:39 > 0:41:40but you have been such good value,
0:41:40 > 0:41:42right the way across the show.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45I'm sorry we won't see you next time but you get to take home a Pointless trophy each as well,
0:41:45 > 0:41:47- so very well done. - Thank you.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:52 > 0:41:56Yeah, been an absolute pleasure having you on and what a lovely relationship you have as well.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Philip II, I had a tactic here, so Philip II is the one we've heard of,
0:41:59 > 0:42:04so I went for Philip III, Philip IV and Philip V, because, come on.
0:42:04 > 0:42:05And they all scored one point.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Oh! Imagine if I'd been on.
0:42:08 > 0:42:09I'd have been furious.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Would have been exciting, though, right?
0:42:11 > 0:42:14But we'll look at the pointless answers for kings and queens first.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25You also could have had Carlos IV, the first three Carloses were not pointless,
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Ferdinand VI and Ferdinand VII, all of those were pointless.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Those were all the pointless answers there.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32La Liga Primera football teams.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39You could have also had Rayo Vallecano.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Mallorca are in the second tier of Spanish football,
0:42:42 > 0:42:44just called Mallorca, really.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46And the final one,
0:42:46 > 0:42:49these were the capitals of the autonomous regions.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Also could have had Logrono, Merida and Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Very well done if you got any of those at home,
0:42:59 > 0:43:02and thank you so much for entertaining us so royally today.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Thanks very much, Richard.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07Well, sadly, Alison and George didn't win our jackpot today,
0:43:07 > 0:43:09which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:43:09 > 0:43:11when we will be playing for £4,250.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13APPLAUSE
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:15 > 0:43:16Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
