0:00:14 > 0:00:16APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:28the show where the aim of the game is to find the most obscure answer possible.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hi, my name's Gary. This is my friend, Dean.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40We're work colleagues and we're from Kent.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- Couple number two.- Hi, my name's Mike. This is my wife, Trisha.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- We are from Ruislip. - Couple number three.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Hi, Xander. My name's David and this is my wife, Cherelle.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50We're from Belfast, Northern Ireland.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And finally, couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Luis. This is my best friend, Josh. We're from Manchester.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Thanks very much, all of you. A warm welcome to the show.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04We'll chat to each of you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11He could only be more popular if he came served with a side order of pulled pork.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13It is my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Hiya. Hey, everybody.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Good afternoon.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24Pulled pork is a thing we didn't have. When we started this show seven years ago,
0:01:24 > 0:01:25pulled pork didn't even exist.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- No.- It's like salted caramel. - Oh, yeah. The two of those...
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- Yes.- Now you can't get anything else.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- I know.- Only one returning pair from last time.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36That's Josh and Luis up there on podium four.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39We've got two married couples on our middle podiums now.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I quite like having married couples on the show because you like to see
0:01:42 > 0:01:44the very beginnings, the cracks if things go wrong.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Do you know what I mean?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48It's a proper test of a relationship, I think.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I suspect we'll be fine, I'm just saying, I'm just saying, just in case.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Wouldn't it be awful? But we'll be watching very carefully.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Yes. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Now, Annette and Pat didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02so we add another £1,000 to last time's jackpot,
0:02:02 > 0:02:06which means today's jackpot starts off at £5,250.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Yes.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Just remember this, the pair with the highest score at the end of
0:02:21 > 0:02:23each round will be eliminated.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25That's basically the only rule.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Our first category today...
0:02:30 > 0:02:32..is Cambridge University.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Cambridge University.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going to go first,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38who's going to go second?
0:02:38 > 0:02:40And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Cambridge Footlights Alumni.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Cambridge Footlights Alumni, Richard.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56On each board, we're going to show you seven clues to famous people who
0:02:56 > 0:02:59once performed with the Cambridge Footlights group,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01you just need to give us the most obscure of those, please.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at at home, so very best of luck.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09So, we are looking for the names of these Cambridge Footlights alumni
0:03:09 > 0:03:12and here is our first board of seven.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13We have got...
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Gary, welcome to Pointless.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Good to have you here, from Kent.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- What do you do, Gary? - I'm a civil servant.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20A civil servant.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- Yes, I am.- Yeah. And what keeps you busy down in Kent?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- What do you like to get up to? - Well, I'm training hard, the moment,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30for the London Marathon. So, all my time's taken up doing that.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Have you done it before?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Never, I'm a brand-new runner.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34I've been running about four months.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Was it a minute of madness when you said, "Yes, I'll do it"?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39or had you been planning to do it for ages?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Alcohol can be a strange thing and it was after a few drinks.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Do you know what? If they got everyone who's running the London Marathon
0:04:45 > 0:04:50at the beginning and said, "Right, anyone here who signed up when they were drunk, sit down..."
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- I'd be sitting down.- ..how many people do you think would be left standing?- Not many.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Yeah. There we are. Now, Gary, this board of Footlights,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- what would you like to go for? - I'd like to go for the bottom one,
0:05:00 > 0:05:04the original host of the television quiz show University Challenge...
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Bamber Gascoigne.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Bamber Gascoigne.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08A great name, isn't it? Bamber Gascoigne.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said Bamber Gascoigne.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15It's right.
0:05:17 > 0:05:1862. 62.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19APPLAUSE
0:05:20 > 0:05:23High score there, still.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26It's a big score, yeah. He presented that show for nearly 25 years.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28As has Paxman, he's done it for nearly 25 years as well -
0:05:28 > 0:05:30which always amazes people.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32There we are. Thank you, Richard.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Trisha, warm welcome to Pointless.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Lovely to have you here. What do you do, Trisha?
0:05:36 > 0:05:41I'm a senior customer service advisor for a large retail company in the UK and Europe.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Right.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44A large retail company?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Does that mean like a supermarket or...?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49No, more clothing and accessories, and homeware.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Oh, God, it's all very, very guarded, isn't it?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54"Civil servant" from Folkestone.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Yeah. "Large retail company."
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Large retail company.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58It's like a John le Carre novel.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Oh, isn't it?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Just inscrutable, impenetrable contestants we have today.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04What does anyone do?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- I don't know.- What do YOU do?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- I've always wondered. - I don't know that.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10I've never known what I do.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Now, Trisha.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16- What are your hobbies, Trisha? - I really like to bowl.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Love to watch reality TV, I'm a reality TV junkie
0:06:20 > 0:06:22and I take care of our 15-year-old...
0:06:22 > 0:06:2415-month-old son...
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Oh, that's lovely.
0:06:25 > 0:06:31- ..in my spare time.- And are you fanatical about comedians who went to university at Cambridge?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34I'm really, really poor in this subject,
0:06:34 > 0:06:38so I'm going to go with the actress and writer who starred in and penned
0:06:38 > 0:06:40the Nanny McPhee film series...
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Emma Thompson. - Emma Thompson, says Trisha.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Let's see how many of our 100 people agree with Trisha.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Emma Thompson.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49It's right.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Look at that. Beats Bamber Gascoigne.
0:06:53 > 0:06:5542. 42 for Emma Thompson.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Well done.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58APPLAUSE
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Yeah, still the only person to win an Academy Award for acting and
0:07:00 > 0:07:02writing, Emma Thompson.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03She's brilliant, isn't she?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06She is a brilliant person.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Now, David, welcome to the show.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Here from Belfast.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10What do you do, David?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13I'm an operations manager for an aerospace company.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Oh! In Belfast?
0:07:15 > 0:07:16- Yes.- The famous one in Belfast?
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Yes. That's kind of...
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Aerospace in Belfast has kind of taken over where Belfast shipbuilding...
0:07:21 > 0:07:22- Yeah, I was there, too.- ..was.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- Oh, you were there, too, were you? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- You've been in all the big things in Belfast.- Yeah. The University of Life.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30It wasn't Cambridge, it was University of Life.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33There we are. Now, then, David...
0:07:33 > 0:07:35how are you feeling about this board?
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Pretty nervous. I know one.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38That's it.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41I'll go for the Monty Python member and that's John Cleese,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43and I'm not doing the silly walk.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44OK!
0:07:46 > 0:07:47John Cleese, says David.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49John Cleese. Let's see if that's right,
0:07:49 > 0:07:52let's see how many of our 100 people said John Cleese.
0:07:56 > 0:07:5877. APPLAUSE
0:08:00 > 0:08:02It's about the height of John Cleese, in fact.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07- Yeah, John Cleese. His family name was originally Cheese but it got changed along the way.- Why?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- I don't know. - John Cheese is a great name.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- It's quite a good name. - And Cleese is good, Cleese is fine.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Cheese. Cheese.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17OK, now, Josh, welcome back.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- Thank you.- Our only returning pair.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Josh, remind us what you do.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23I work for an education charity in Manchester.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27That's right. And you say you've only been doing that for a little while.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- Yes.- It's quite a new thing.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Yes.- What precipitated the move to education charity?
0:08:32 > 0:08:38Well, I used to work for universities and, before that, I was...
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Professional's a generous term -
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I was a magician for a while.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Oh, you didn't tell us that, Josh!
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- I don't tell many people.- If you had got to the final last time...
0:08:47 > 0:08:50we wouldn't have heard about the magic. Are you part of the Circle?
0:08:50 > 0:08:51I was, yes.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Oh, you've been expelled!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55LAUGHTER
0:08:55 > 0:08:57So, did you do close-up magic?
0:08:57 > 0:09:02A little bit, but our speciality was stage stuff, so...
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Did you levitate?
0:09:04 > 0:09:08No, we tried to go a bit more modern, as opposed to the old parlour magic,
0:09:08 > 0:09:09that kind of thing.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13So, you had, sort of, white pumas jumping through...
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- A little bit less modern than that. - ..jets of flame, while you and...
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Somewhere between levitating and white pumas.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20Yes. OK.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23So, Josh, what would you like to go for?
0:09:23 > 0:09:24This board's all yours, by the way.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- Go through it and fill in the blanks.- OK, well,
0:09:27 > 0:09:28the top one is Richard Ayoade.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32The Inbetweeners and Friday Night Dinner, I think is Simon Bird.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34After that would be Germaine Greer.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I think I'll go for Simon Bird.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Simon Bird, says Josh.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Let's see if that's right.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Let's see how many people said it.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Very nicely done, Josh.
0:09:50 > 0:09:5342 was our low score. You passed that some time ago.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54There you are at 9.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Very well done, Josh.
0:09:55 > 0:09:569 for Simon Bird.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57APPLAUSE
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Very nicely done, Josh.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Yeah, you got all of those right and you chose the lowest score of the
0:10:01 > 0:10:03ones that you knew. Thank you, also,
0:10:03 > 0:10:05for getting Richard Ayoade's surname right because,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08just a couple of shows ago, I mean...
0:10:08 > 0:10:09It was chaos, wasn't it?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11LAUGHTER
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Richard Ayoade would have scored you...
0:10:13 > 0:10:1513 points.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Germaine Greer...was the Australian feminist,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20which is the biggest scorer left there, 37 points.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Now, this last one is a pointless answer.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24You could have made the column disappear,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27which would have been a very good magician's trick,
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- but do you know...?- I'm going to guess at Simon McBurney, is it?
0:10:30 > 0:10:31You were going to guess correctly.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Simon McBurney.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35So, very well done if you said that at home.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36There we are. Thank you, Richard.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40OK, we're halfway through the round. Let's see what our scores are looking like.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Very well done, Josh, the lowest score of that pass.
0:10:43 > 0:10:459. So, Josh and Luis looking pretty strong at this stage.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48We then travel quite a long way up to 42, to find your nearest rivals,
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Trisha and Mike. Up to 62,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Gary and Dean on the first podium, and then David and Cherelle on 77.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55You're not way ahead there but, Cherelle,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58we definitely need a low-scoring answer from you to keep you in the game.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01So, best of luck with that. We're going to come back down the line.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:05 > 0:11:09OK. So, we're going to put another seven clues up on the board
0:11:09 > 0:11:11and here they are...
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I'm going to read those one last time.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Luis, welcome back.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14Thank you.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Now, we discovered last time that you started working for a family company.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- Yes.- And you do what, remind us?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Property finance. So, bridging broking.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Property finance.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Now, what's it like being...?
0:12:24 > 0:12:28I mean, with your dad there and you've got another family member as well.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33Well, my dad works with it but he spends a lot of time in Spain...
0:12:33 > 0:12:35so he's not really a big fan of the whole work side of it.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Right, OK.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I can't wait till I go back to work now!
0:12:39 > 0:12:42I know. Is there anyone you haven't slagged off yet, Luis?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Let's just think hard. - I love Danielle!
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Danielle's amazing. We'll get that one in.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47Oh, Danielle. There we are,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50at least there will be someone to talk to on that morning when you go back.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55- Of course, "Spending a lot of time in Spain" is usually a euphemism, isn't it?- Yes.- By and large.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00I wonder if he's had a run-in with our civil servants from podium one at all.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- Certainly, something is up, isn't it?- Something. There we are.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Now, Luis, what would you like to go for?
0:13:06 > 0:13:07You're on 9. Lovely,
0:13:07 > 0:13:11lovely low score from Josh means that 67 or less ensures you a place.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14It's a good job we've got Josh, because I'm not too sure on this one,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17so I'm going to go safe. Second one from the bottom, the Peep Show,
0:13:17 > 0:13:18David Mitchell.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20David Mitchell, says Luis.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Here is your red line.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24It'll be interesting to see how far down the column this gets.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26David Mitchell. How many people said it?
0:13:28 > 0:13:29It's right.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Oh, you made it.
0:13:32 > 0:13:3342.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35APPLAUSE
0:13:35 > 0:13:3742 for David Mitchell takes your total up to 51.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Very well done, you are in Round Two.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44- Well done, Luis. That's where he met his comedy partner, Robert Webb, as well.- Indeed.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Cherelle, welcome here from Belfast.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- What do you do, Cherelle? - Business support for a bank.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Right you are. What are your hobbies when you're not at the bank?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Like going to the cinema with him.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I like to walk our little dog along the coast.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02What sort of dog have you got?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- A bulldog.- Oh, very nice.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06- How old is the bulldog?- She's three.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09She's allowed off the lead, I'm guessing, when she goes along the coast?
0:14:09 > 0:14:14- Yes. She doesn't like to associate with other dogs because she doesn't know she's a dog.- Ah.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Ah. She thinks she is an iguana.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18She is...
0:14:18 > 0:14:20LAUGHTER
0:14:20 > 0:14:24What, so she just looks with disdain at other four-legged creatures?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Yeah.- Yeah. Anyway, now, there we are on 77.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29You are our highest scorers at this stage.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31We need a low score from you.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Well, I'm going to take a punt with the actress who plays Professor Sprout,
0:14:35 > 0:14:38and I'm not sure of how to say her surname, so we'll go for...
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Miriam Margo-les.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Miriam Margolyes.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44That's a pretty game attempt at it. Miriam Margolyes. I like that.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48No red line for you, Cherelle, as you're the high scorers at the moment.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50But a nice answer - like Miriam Margolyes, let's hope -
0:14:50 > 0:14:53will get you nice and far down the column.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Let's see how many people said it.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58It's absolutely right.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Oh, it's a good answer.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Look at that. 19. Very well done indeed.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06APPLAUSE
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Our second lowest individual score of the round.
0:15:08 > 0:15:0996 is your total.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13You might have done enough, I think, there, Cherelle, to keep yourselves in the game.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Great answer, Cherelle. Whenever she's on Graham Norton...
0:15:16 > 0:15:19They always have, like, huge Hollywood stars and she ends up
0:15:19 > 0:15:22just horrifying everybody with her stories.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24She's great. OK, thank you very much, Richard.
0:15:24 > 0:15:29Now, Mike. Welcome to the show, Mike, from Ruislip.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- What do you do, Mike? - I'm a police officer in the Met.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35So, you did your training round the corner from here, at Hendon, did you?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Yep. Yep. All our training was done there.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Excellent. How long is the training?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Long story short, I'm on a slightly different programme so it was more condensed.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Normally, it lasts a few months but I'm on a brand-new scheme.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- I see.- But I don't want to bore everybody with that either, so...
0:15:48 > 0:15:49OK, but you're enjoying it, though?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51They're looking after you well?
0:15:51 > 0:15:52After professional sports,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55it's probably the best job I could have dreamed of having, so...
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Well, there we are. Brilliant. Now, 42 your score.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Cherelle and David currently our high scorers on 96,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02so 53 or less gets you through.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Pretty straightforward cos I only know one of them,
0:16:05 > 0:16:06but I don't know if it'll be enough.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I'm going to have to go for it anyway.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09The one at the top, Stephen Fry.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Stephen Fry, says Mike.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Stephen Fry. Here is your red line.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Quite far down.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Let's see if Stephen Fry gets you down that far.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19How many of our 100 said Stephen Fry?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21A lot hanging on this for Cherelle and David.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25It's right.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Ooh, podium three back in the game.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30That scores you 70.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Takes your total up to 112.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33You are our new high scorers.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36It's going to be interesting on that last podium now.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Yeah, of course, Sandi Toksvig taking over as host of QI.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Thank you very much, Richard.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Now, then, Dean.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- What do you do, Dean? - I'm a civil servant.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Civil... Oh, I thought we were going to crack him.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I thought he was just going to let it out by accident.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- A civil servant in the Kent-ish area?- Yes.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Yeah.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Very...
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Does your civil servant job involve looking at people and going,
0:16:58 > 0:17:03- "Yeah, in you come, next"? - That could be part of it.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04See, THAT might be quite...
0:17:04 > 0:17:07That's quite fun, isn't it? If that were to be your job,
0:17:07 > 0:17:11do you get posted to all sorts of different ports or are you...
0:17:11 > 0:17:12allotted one and that's where you remain?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I have had several postings.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17I've had international postings as well.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Oh, that's quite fun.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Yeah.- There we are. Now, Dean,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23that board's all yours if you fancy going through it.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I knew three answers and they're all three that have gone.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28So, really,
0:17:28 > 0:17:31just going to have to make a name up but let's go for theatre director
0:17:31 > 0:17:33behind West End productions of Cats and Les Mis...
0:17:33 > 0:17:35I'm just going to say Tim Nice.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Oh, do you know what...?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Tim Nice did the Madness musical, didn't he?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Which was... Which was great.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Nice.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Oh, yeah.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Now, then, could be right.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Let's see... Is Tim Nice right?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53There is your red line.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59No, sorry. No. Back luck, Dean, I'm sorry.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Tough board for you there if you didn't know any of those.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 162.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Mighty relief on podium two there.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Yeah, there's a few big names still up there.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11The bottom one... It is a tough one, it's...
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- Trevor Nunn.- ..Trevor Nunn. Yep.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Would have scored you 6 points.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19The best answer on the board is the British comedian who's now MASSIVE
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- in the States.- John Oliver.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24John Oliver. Yeah, he's done amazingly well for himself.
0:18:24 > 0:18:264 points for that. The comedian and broadcaster...
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- Oh, Sue Perkins.- Sue Perkins.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Would have scored you 11.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33And the creator of Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy...
0:18:33 > 0:18:34- Douglas Adams.- Douglas Adams.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Who'll be furious he didn't score three more. He scored 39.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43OK, so we're at the end of our first round and I'm sorry to say the pair
0:18:43 > 0:18:46we are sending home, at the end of this round, with a score of 162,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48is Dean and Gary.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51We will see you back next time and I'm sure you'll go much, much further.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54In the meantime, thanks very much for playing, Dean and Gary.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55APPLAUSE
0:18:56 > 0:18:59But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06And so we are down to three pairs.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Well, there were moments where it looked like all of you might have been in trouble.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Just little moments that were a little bit tense there.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Cherelle and David know what I'm talking about.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19But there were sublime moments too, Josh.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22So, Simon Bird, very much a highlight of that.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24So very well done on the far podium, there.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Best of luck to all three pairs for our second round.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Our category for Round Two, this afternoon, is Words.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31It's a Words round.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Can you all decide, in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:19:34 > 0:19:35who's going to go second?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Here it comes.
0:19:45 > 0:19:51We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many words that...
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Words fitting the pattern "C-blank-blank-blank-E," Richard.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01- That's fun, isn't it?- Yes.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03That's like a new type of word round, isn't it?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- Yes.- Looking for any word which has its own entry in
0:20:05 > 0:20:08OxfordDictionaries.com British and World English, please,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11that fits that pattern, "C-blank-blank-blank-E."
0:20:11 > 0:20:14As always, no proper nouns, hyphenated words or anything like that.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- Very best of luck.- OK, thank you very much, Richard.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- Now, Mike...- Hello.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21What are we going to go for?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I'll go with "chime".
0:20:23 > 0:20:25"Chime", says Mike.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Let's see if it's right.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Let's see how many people said "chime".
0:20:38 > 0:20:39APPLAUSE
0:20:42 > 0:20:4414. 14 for "chime".
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Good start. Tough on the first podium in these word rounds, isn't it?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50- Yes.- Yep.- Sorry, I was too busy, lost.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- I was lost.- Yeah, I know, you're thinking of words.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Lost in...
0:20:54 > 0:20:55words. Cherelle.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59I think I'll go for "crane".
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Crane. "Crane", says Cherelle.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Let's see how many of our 100 people said "crane".
0:21:11 > 0:21:13APPLAUSE
0:21:13 > 0:21:1535 for crane.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Yeah, something you do to lift a bird.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22LAUGHTER
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Crane.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Thank you very much, Richard.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Luis...
0:21:28 > 0:21:30I think this one's going to be a bit high and it's probably a bit
0:21:30 > 0:21:34controversial to say on this show, but - "chase".
0:21:34 > 0:21:35LAUGHTER
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- Oh...- Oh...
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Oh, dear.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49"Chase," said Luis.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50Let's see if it's correct.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57That weight is just about loose, I think, that stage weight, up there.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00OK, yes, let's see how many of our 100 people said "chase".
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Chase.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10APPLAUSE
0:22:15 > 0:22:1727 for "chase".
0:22:17 > 0:22:18It means...
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Well, it means all sorts of things but mainly to underperform in the ratings, "chase".
0:22:22 > 0:22:24LAUGHTER
0:22:29 > 0:22:30We love them really.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32We love them really.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Well, we take the mick and they take the mick.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- We're all good pals. - They do. Thank you, Richard.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores as they stand.
0:22:39 > 0:22:4014, Mike, what about that?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Very well done indeed. 14. Chime.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Great answer there. Then we travel up to 27,
0:22:45 > 0:22:46where we find Luis and Josh.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Then up to 35, Cherelle and David.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52David, I hope you're thinking of a lovely low-scoring answer.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54I know I still am. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03OK, now, Josh.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Remember, we're looking for five-letter words beginning with C and ending in E.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11I'll go slightly safer...
0:23:11 > 0:23:13for "chute".
0:23:13 > 0:23:16"Chute," says Josh.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19There is your red line, appearing right now.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Let us see... Chute...
0:23:20 > 0:23:22I like "chute", by the way.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Let's see how many people said it.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Oh, you needed 7, you got 8.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37I think you're going to be fine.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Very well done. 35's your total.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Great answer, yeah. Sloping channel or a shortform of parachute as well.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47I liked the audience reaction, which was, when you said "chute", they went...
0:23:47 > 0:23:50"But that doesn't begin with... Oh!"
0:23:51 > 0:23:52A-ha! Very good.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59So... David, you're level with the high scorers at this point,
0:23:59 > 0:24:01so we have to have a pointless answer from you, David.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04I have a safe one and I have a dodgy one.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Now, safe... How safe?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Safe, like, sort of, 67...
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- or safe...?- Who knows?
0:24:12 > 0:24:13But I'm going to take a punt.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- I like that.- "Crepe".
0:24:18 > 0:24:20LAUGHTER
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Easy, tiger.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24I'm glad you took a punt and not a...
0:24:28 > 0:24:30OK, you just have to take my word for it,
0:24:30 > 0:24:32there is a red line, invisibly,
0:24:32 > 0:24:34down there. Crepe.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Crepe. He's from Northern Ireland.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Crepe. Let's see...
0:24:40 > 0:24:42That's another great answer.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46How many of our 100 people said "crepe"?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Oh, ten for "crepe"!
0:24:55 > 0:24:57APPLAUSE
0:24:57 > 0:25:00I think it deserved to go lower than that, David,
0:25:00 > 0:25:02but ten people came up with "crepe".
0:25:02 > 0:25:0445 is your total.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Yeah, a crepe is a thin pancake or a type of material,
0:25:06 > 0:25:08or a posh person writing a review of The Chase.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09LAUGHTER
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Now, Trisha.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Trisha, you're on 14.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20David and Cherelle are currently our high scorers on 45,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23so 30 is your target.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26I think I'm going to have to try "creme".
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Creme. "Creme" says Trisha.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Sounds good to me. Here is your red line.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34If you can get below that with creme, you are into the head-to-head.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35How many people said "creme"?
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Very well done indeed. Whoo!
0:25:45 > 0:25:48APPLAUSE
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Our lowest score of the round.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Very well done indeed. Takes your total up to 21.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Lovely answer, Trisha. Well played. Yes, something with a creamy consistency.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Before I do the pointless answers, do you have an answer?
0:25:58 > 0:25:59- I do.- Which is...?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- Chide. - Oh, I didn't guess that.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- Oh, no.- I did not guess that.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Chide would have scored you 7 points as well.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07- Ah.- Tied with Trisha.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Very well done. Now, lots of pointless answers out there.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Let's take a look at a few of them.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15A citee - that is someone who is cited in something.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Conge - which is a dismissal or a rejection of someone.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Conte is a type of short story.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Cooee. Isn't that a lovely one?
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Cooee would have been a brilliant word.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Coupe was a pointless answer and it would have been a good one.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Crake is a type of bird.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Another good answer.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Crape. Curie, which is a unit of radioactivity.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- Cuvee.- Cuvee.- Which I thought you might...
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Because I know it's a type of Hawaiian...
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Cuvee, yes, exactly.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45- Cuvee.- Let's take a look at the top three answers,
0:26:45 > 0:26:47the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Chase, 27, was the third highest scorer.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Like the third highest rater at tea-time.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Third-highest scorer.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Crate, 32, and crane is the biggest scorer of all, on 35.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01There we are. Thank you, Richard.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04So, we've come to the end of our second round and I'm so sorry,
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Dave and Cherelle, we have to say goodbye
0:27:06 > 0:27:09to you with your high score of 45. Nice and close, though.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Josh and Luis just behind you there.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15We'll see you again next time and we know you're going to do well next
0:27:15 > 0:27:18time because... Look, for heaven's sake, you've done so well so far.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20- Thank you.- Meantime, thanks very much for playing.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21David and Cherelle.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23APPLAUSE
0:27:24 > 0:27:27But for Josh and Luis, Trisha and Mike,
0:27:27 > 0:27:28it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Congratulations, Josh and Luis, Trisha and Mike.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for that
0:27:39 > 0:27:44jackpot, which currently stands at £5,250.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45APPLAUSE
0:27:47 > 0:27:50This is nice, when we reach this plateau level of the game,
0:27:50 > 0:27:53because you can start playing as a team. You can chat before you give your answers.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56First pair to win two questions will be through to the final and playing
0:27:56 > 0:27:58for that jackpot, so best of luck to both pairs.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Josh and Luis, you were exactly in this position last time, in fact,
0:28:01 > 0:28:04weren't you? And that was a 2-0 defeat.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06So, we've got to hope for a turnaround this time.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08You've got to pull something out of the hat, Josh.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10That's a magician joke.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12He was a magician...
0:28:12 > 0:28:14And, Trisha and Mike, nice because...
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Well, we didn't explore this but, Trisha, you're originally from Montreal,
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- aren't you?- Yeah.- So, you know, you were a little bit on your own there.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- A little bit exposed.- Yeah.- There were quite a lot of questions that might have been tricky.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Now you've got Mike, you can sound each other out,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30which is great. Anyway, as I said, best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:35 > 0:28:40Here is your first question and our first question today concerns
0:28:40 > 0:28:41Listed Structures.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Listed Structures, Richard.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Yeah, we're going to show you five pictures now of listed structures in Britain.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49You just need to identify the most obscure, please.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51OK, thank you very much. Let's reveal our five listed structures
0:28:51 > 0:28:54and here they are. We have got...
0:29:19 > 0:29:21There we are. Five listed structures.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Josh and Luis, you will go first.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:29:32 > 0:29:34We...
0:29:34 > 0:29:35are going to go for E,
0:29:35 > 0:29:37and we're going to say Battersea Power Station.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Battersea Power Station, say Josh and Luis.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41Battersea Power Station.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Now, Trisha and Mike...
0:29:43 > 0:29:46That board's all yours. Do you want to go through all of those?
0:29:46 > 0:29:50Yeah. Well, we actually met in Bristol and we think A is Bristol Suspension Bridge.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51Clifton Suspension Bridge!
0:29:51 > 0:29:55Apologies. The Clifton Suspension Bridge.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57B looks like the top of the Blackpool Tower.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Don't really know C and D.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01So, we will have to go for A.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Have I said it right this time?
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Clifton Suspension Bridge.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08We'll go for A, the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09Clifton Suspension Bridge.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12So, we have Battersea Power Station and Clifton Suspension Bridge.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16Josh and Luis said Battersea Power Station for E.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:30:21 > 0:30:22It is right.
0:30:25 > 0:30:2654.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27APPLAUSE
0:30:30 > 0:30:3354. Meanwhile, Trisha and Mike have gone for A,
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Clifton Suspension Bridge.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42It is right.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45And it beats Battersea Power Station.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Look at that.
0:30:47 > 0:30:4926. Great score.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Trisha and Mike, well done.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Yeah, well played. You're right about Blackpool Tower.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Blackpool Tower would have scored you...
0:31:00 > 0:31:0180 points.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04These other two are the best two answers.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06C is Preston Bus Station,
0:31:06 > 0:31:09which is an example of brutalist architecture, but listed now.
0:31:09 > 0:31:127 points. And D is the...
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- Trellick Tower. - ..Trellick Tower in London.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Yeah, that would have scored you 1 point.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20They are...amazing flats inside as well. Incredible.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- And the views, as you can imagine. - Fantastic.- It's very tall.
0:31:23 > 0:31:24That's only the very top bit of it.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Thank you very much. So, here comes your second question.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Now, Josh and Luis, this is beginning to look like a repeat of last time.
0:31:30 > 0:31:31We cannot do this.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33You have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36However, Trisha and Mike will get to answer first, so best of luck.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37It concerns...
0:31:38 > 0:31:40..Formula One. Formula One.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- Richard.- Five clues now to facts about Formula One.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Can you give us the most obscure answer, please?
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Thanks very much. OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they are.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52We've got...
0:32:12 > 0:32:14I'll read those again as quickly as I can.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Now, Trisha and Mike, you will go first.
0:32:35 > 0:32:36THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:32:41 > 0:32:44I believe the year Lewis Hamilton won his first Formula One title
0:32:44 > 0:32:46was 2008.
0:32:46 > 0:32:482008, say Trisha and Mike.
0:32:48 > 0:32:492008 for Lewis Hamilton.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Now, Josh and Luis...
0:32:52 > 0:32:54I think the top one is probably Silverstone,
0:32:54 > 0:32:56but that's going to be very high.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59The year Lewis Hamilton won, I originally thought it was 2009 but 2008...
0:32:59 > 0:33:02now sort of rings more of a bell.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03The colour of the flag...
0:33:03 > 0:33:07Yellow? Obviously, the bottom one - Hill.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- We'll try 2009.- 2009.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13OK, well, you're both vying for the same one.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15We've got 2008 and 2009.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17This is very exciting. Well,
0:33:17 > 0:33:19we could find out the answer to this very quickly indeed.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Trisha and Mike, your answer was given first.
0:33:21 > 0:33:232008. We'll put that one to the test first.
0:33:23 > 0:33:24Is it right?
0:33:28 > 0:33:30It is right.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33It is right, which means...
0:33:35 > 0:33:3615.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Now, for the sake... This is my guess,
0:33:43 > 0:33:46is for the sake of formality and for the sake of just...
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- For the sake of the computer program.- Also jeopardy.
0:33:48 > 0:33:49You never know.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51For the sake of... Maybe you'll be right, too.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54What if he won it both... What if he won it in both years...
0:33:54 > 0:33:58for the first time? Through some temporal, weird, kind of...
0:33:58 > 0:34:00- A kink!- ..a tear in the space-time continuum.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04Yeah. Let's find out. Josh and Luis have said 2009.
0:34:04 > 0:34:05Let's see if that's wrong.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07LAUGHTER
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Oh!
0:34:09 > 0:34:11I'm sorry. That was close.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Very well done, Trisha and Mike, after only two questions,
0:34:15 > 0:34:18you are through to the final, 2-0.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Yes, very well played and there's only one answer that could have beaten
0:34:21 > 0:34:23you there as well and that's the second one.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26But we'll start with the top one. You are right, it is Silverstone.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28That would have scored you 51 points.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30The Italian is Nino Farina.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Very well done if you got that at home.
0:34:32 > 0:34:342 points. I know a lot of people like the Formula One questions.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Well done if you got that. The colour of the flag is not yellow,
0:34:37 > 0:34:40it's blue. Blue was the answer there.
0:34:40 > 0:34:4422. And you're right about Hill but it's the biggest scorer on the board
0:34:44 > 0:34:46with 73.
0:34:46 > 0:34:47Thanks very much, Richard.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51It's like Groundhog Day.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55I can't bear it. Josh and Luis, it was a 2-0 defeat last time,
0:34:55 > 0:34:58it's a 2-0 defeat this time and, on both instances,
0:34:58 > 0:35:00you were our low scorers, our golden couple.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03And I'm afraid we have to send you home, for the second time,
0:35:03 > 0:35:07with nothing. But it's been brilliant having you on both shows and you've been fantastic.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09As I say, low score after low score.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12I'm sorry you don't get something to show for it but personal kudos,
0:35:12 > 0:35:13I guess, is all there is there.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Josh and Luis, thank you so much for playing.
0:35:16 > 0:35:17APPLAUSE
0:35:18 > 0:35:21But for Trisha and Mike, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Congratulations, Trisha and Mike.
0:35:27 > 0:35:32You've seen off all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and,
0:35:40 > 0:35:44at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £5,250.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Well, what a performance.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Only... Your one and only appearance on the show and you
0:35:52 > 0:35:56made it through. Creme and chime, two fantastic answers in the second round.
0:35:56 > 0:35:572-0 in the head-to-head.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59There's never an argument with that.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03So, here we are. Anything you'd particularly like to see come up in this last round?
0:36:03 > 0:36:04Probably North American sports.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06- Yeah. That'd be really good. - NFL, ice hockey.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10That would be amazing. You've got a lot of bases covered there.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12So, let's hope there's something on the board that you like the look of.
0:36:12 > 0:36:17Very best of luck. Our board today has these categories on it...
0:36:24 > 0:36:26- Opera, Mike.- A dream!
0:36:26 > 0:36:27Absolute dream.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- Realistically...? - The Year 1996, maybe.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33- OK.- I don't know, could be something sporty.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34Yeah, let's go for that.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Through process of elimination, The Year 1996.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38The Year 1996.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39- Richard.- OK, very best of luck.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Three very different questions here.
0:36:42 > 0:36:43We are looking for...
0:36:43 > 0:36:47any of the countries that took part in the Euro '96 football tournament
0:36:47 > 0:36:49in England - apart from England, of course.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Any of the other 15 nations.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55We are looking for any actors in the 1996 film Mars Attacks,
0:36:55 > 0:36:57according to IMDb.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Or we are looking for anyone who had a UK number one single or album,
0:37:00 > 0:37:03according to officialcharts.com, in 1996.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05So, the teams in Euro '96,
0:37:05 > 0:37:09actors from Mars Attacks or any UK number one single or album in 1996.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Thank you very much indeed.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:14 > 0:37:16and all you need, to win that jackpot,
0:37:16 > 0:37:18is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20- Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- Yeah, I think so.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Do you know any of the Mars Attacks people?
0:37:27 > 0:37:30OK, I think... I don't know, was Vince Vaughn in that, or Jim Carrey?
0:37:30 > 0:37:33A bunch of random people were in that.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Shall we skip UK number one artists as well?
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Yeah, unless there was like... Natalie Imbruglia.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40I think she was around that time.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42We're better off going for the football teams.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44OK. Well, you're good on those, so that's all you.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48The only ones I can remember are the big ones,
0:37:48 > 0:37:50but...Romania and Bulgaria, maybe.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53They were quite good around the World Cup in '94,
0:37:53 > 0:37:55so they could well have done something in '96.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- Romania, Bulgaria.- Scotland played England as well, so...
0:37:58 > 0:38:00People might forget about Scotland.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02What about any of the Baltic countries?
0:38:02 > 0:38:03I can't remember specifically.
0:38:03 > 0:38:04I only remember, like, Germany...
0:38:04 > 0:38:05Lithuania, Latvia...
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- I went to England-Spain.- But it just has to be a team in Euro '96, so...
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- Belgium.- Gosh.- OK, we'll do...
0:38:15 > 0:38:17..Romania, Bulgaria...
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Should we maybe go with UK number one artists?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Maybe Lisa Loeb?
0:38:21 > 0:38:23If you like.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- Just throw one in.- Yeah. - Let's just do that.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28OK, that is your time up. Sounds like you've arrived at three answers.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Let's hear what they are and if you could say which category they are.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Teams in Euro '96 - Romania...
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- Romania.- Yeah. And Bulgaria.
0:38:36 > 0:38:41- Bulgaria.- And then UK number one artists of 1996,
0:38:41 > 0:38:43maybe take a stab at Lisa Loeb.
0:38:43 > 0:38:44Lisa Loeb.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46I'm guessing she was huge in Canada.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50She was, so hopefully she was big over here...
0:38:50 > 0:38:52You got to hope some of that spilled over here. Lisa Loeb.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer,
0:38:55 > 0:38:56- do you think?- Loeb.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59You think so? Yeah, OK, let's go for that one. Lisa Loeb.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- Lisa Loeb.- Yeah.- We'll put her last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:02 > 0:39:06- Maybe Bulgaria.- Bulgaria. Bulgaria first, Romania in the middle, then Lisa Loeb.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09OK, well, let's put those answers on the board in that order and here they are.
0:39:09 > 0:39:10We've got...
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Well, very best of luck.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Three good answers up on the board there.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Now, if you get a pointless answer with any of those three,
0:39:20 > 0:39:22you will win £5,250.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24What would you do with that?
0:39:24 > 0:39:28- Trisha, you first. - I think we'd have to put to...
0:39:28 > 0:39:32The sensible thing would be to put it towards a deposit on a house,
0:39:32 > 0:39:37but the un-sensible thing would probably be to go to the next Olympics.
0:39:37 > 0:39:38Winter Olympics, hopefully.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40So...
0:39:40 > 0:39:41OK. Fantastic.
0:39:41 > 0:39:42Mike, anything you want to add to that?
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Yeah, I love travelling, especially to big sporting events like
0:39:45 > 0:39:48the Olympics, and for my sensible thing,
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Trisha's pregnant so maybe we'll just spend it all on the baby.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55- Oh! Congratulations.- Thank you. - Wonderful.
0:39:55 > 0:39:56APPLAUSE
0:39:58 > 0:40:00- Thanks. - Well, fingers crossed.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04Lots of good reasons for hoping these are pointless answers, here.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Bulgaria was your least confident answer.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10In this case, we were looking for teams that played in Euro '96.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Let's see if it's right, let's see if it is pointless.
0:40:13 > 0:40:14If it is both of those things,
0:40:14 > 0:40:17you will leave here with our jackpot of £5,250.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19How many people said Bulgaria?
0:40:22 > 0:40:24It's right.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Now, all we have to hope for is that Bulgaria takes us down to zero.
0:40:28 > 0:40:33Down it goes, through the 20s, into the teens, into single figures.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Still going down, still going down.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Fantastic! Very well done.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44That's wonderful.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52- God bless Hristo Stoichkov! - Oh, look at that!
0:40:52 > 0:40:54Excellent. Well, congratulations.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56You can get a buggy, you can get a cot,
0:40:56 > 0:41:00you can get all the muslins you need.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Oh, fantastic. Bulgaria was a pointless answer,
0:41:02 > 0:41:05which means you go home with that jackpot of £5,250.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Absolutely brilliant.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15Well, you were on just the most perfect trajectory there and,
0:41:15 > 0:41:19after 2-0 in the head-to-head, it was a foregone conclusion, really.
0:41:19 > 0:41:20Anyway, absolutely fantastic.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23- Very well done.- So pleased for you, Trisha and Mike. That's terrific stuff.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Bulgaria, very well done. Romania...
0:41:26 > 0:41:27also a pointless answer.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29APPLAUSE
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Lisa Loeb...
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Incorrect answer.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39There are actually a couple of Canadians, though,
0:41:39 > 0:41:41that were pointless answers. We will get on to those in a minute.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Let's go through the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48There's only three pointless answers in the Euro '96 category, you got two of them.
0:41:48 > 0:41:49So, let's take a look.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey were the pointless answers there.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Well done if you said any of those at home.
0:41:54 > 0:41:55Actors in Mars Attacks...
0:42:00 > 0:42:04Everyone in that film apart from Jack Nicholson, Tom Jones,
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Pierce Brosnan, Glenn Close, Sarah Jessica Parker,
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Natalie Portman and Danny DeVito.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Everyone else was a pointless answer.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Now, the UK number one artists.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14There's a Canadian right at the top, here.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Alanis Morissette, number one with Jagged Little Pill.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Bryan Adams was also a pointless answer.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Baddiel, Skinner and the Lightning Seeds, of course, released Three Lions.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Peter Andre had number one singles - they were dark days, the '90s.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28And the Bluetones had a number one album.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Lots of other pointless answers. Ash, Babylon Zoo, Crowded House,
0:42:31 > 0:42:35Deep Blue Something, The Fugees, Gary Barlow, Kula Shaker, Mark Morrison,
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Metallica, REM, Robson and Jerome, Beautiful South,
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Chemical Brothers and the Prodigy all pointless answers.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42I went for Suede, because they had a number one album in '96 but they
0:42:42 > 0:42:45- scored points.- Oh, they scored points.- They did score points.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49I'd like to think that, sometime, in sort of 10, 16, 18 years' time,
0:42:49 > 0:42:52you'll be able to show this to your child and say, "Look,
0:42:52 > 0:42:55"isn't that lovely?" Because seeing when you were...
0:42:55 > 0:42:59Before you are born and seeing your parents in love and winning all that money, isn't that lovely?
0:43:00 > 0:43:01That would be nice, wouldn't it?
0:43:01 > 0:43:05- Yeah.- Well, thank you, once again, to our winning players, Trisha and Mike,
0:43:05 > 0:43:09who go away with today's jackpot of £5,250.
0:43:09 > 0:43:10Very well done.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...
0:43:18 > 0:43:21- Goodbye.- ..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
