0:00:13 > 0:00:16APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Welcome to Pointless, the game where we aim for the obscure and ignore the obvious.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38- And couple number one. - My name's Janet, I'm from Liversedge.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40This is my sister Julie and she lives in Silsden.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- Couple number two.- My name's Dean. This is my friend Gary.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- We're from Kent. - Couple number three.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49I'm Cherelle and this is my husband David, and we are from Belfast.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50And finally, couple number four.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53I'm Martin, this is my friend Bill, and we are from Leeds.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Thanks very much, all of you, a very warm welcome to the show.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02We'll get to chat to each of you
0:01:02 > 0:01:03throughout the show as it goes along,
0:01:03 > 0:01:07obviously. So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing,
0:01:09 > 0:01:11then he must be the FBI's most wanted.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Good afternoon. Good afternoon to you.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- And to you.- Two returning pairs from our last show.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25We've got Cherelle and David, who went through to Round Two,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28and Dean and Gary got knocked out in Round One. Hopefully see a bit more of them.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Both teams there beaten by Mike and Trisha.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Lovely Mike and Trisha. Now, Mike, I have to say,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35turned into a very classy guy.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39He was quite quiet all the way through the show. Trisha, lovely, Mike, very quiet.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42He casually reveals that Trisha is pregnant,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45the whole audience melts and then smashes it in with two pointless answers.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- That was lovely, wasn't it?- That was lovely. What a nice win.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Thank you very much. So, yes, Trisha and Mike won the jackpot last time.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56So today's jackpot, therefore, starts off back at its comfortable £1,000.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59There we are. So, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Just to remind you,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be
0:02:09 > 0:02:12eliminated. So it's your job not to be that pair,
0:02:12 > 0:02:13so best of luck with that.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Our first category this afternoon...
0:02:17 > 0:02:20..is US Politics. US Politics.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24who's going to go second? And whoever's going first,
0:02:24 > 0:02:25please step up to the podium.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:02:34 > 0:02:36as many US presidents
0:02:36 > 0:02:41whose last names do not contain the letters U or S,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43as they could. Wow.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47US presidents whose last names don't contain the letters U or S, Richard.
0:02:47 > 0:02:53Yes, any US president whose last name doesn't contain the letters U or S.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55You have unpacked that beautifully.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Yeah. If you need any more information, you just let me know.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- Julie, what do you do? - I'm a mostly retired accountant.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Do you miss the accounting, or...?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- No. Not at all.- I was... I had a hunch you might say that.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12What do you do now you're retired?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I like to go for walks in the countryside, I like to cook, I like to read,
0:03:16 > 0:03:20and I've started doing some voluntary work at my local charity shop.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Good for you. Now, US presidents.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Not containing the letters U or S.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24OK, I've got an answer.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- Gerald Ford.- Gerald Ford.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28There's not a U or an S in that.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Or is there?- Or is there?!
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- One of those hidden letters. - Jeopardy, come on.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- I wonder if there is. - I wonder if that's right.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Let's see how many of our 100 people said Gerald Ford.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41It's right.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Oh, that's a good score. 31.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Well done, Julie.
0:03:50 > 0:03:5131.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54He became vice president and president, both times,
0:03:54 > 0:03:55without being elected to the post.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- Gerald Ford. - Clever. Thank you, Richard.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Now, Dean.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Remind us what you do, Dean.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- I'm a civil servant. - A civil servant.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Somehow connected with the Port of Dover.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09There we are. What are your interests, Dean?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Mainly sport. Golf, I play a lot of golf and a lot of football.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15And a little bit of cycling mixed in as well.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Very good indeed. Now, Dean. US presidents.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22It's one of those things that people quite often revise for this show.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24It is a subject I revised.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Hooray! So, this is good.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Yeah. So I'm going to go for Grover Cleveland.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Grover Cleveland, says Dean.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35That's good. That's good.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said Grover Cleveland.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Very well done. 31 is our only score at this point.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46I suspect you're going to pass it, and you do.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Look at that. You see?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53The fruits of your labours there.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Well done, Dean - 3 for Grover Cleveland.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Nice play, Dean. Yeah, his real first name was not Grover,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01his real first name was Stephen, so he was Steve Cleveland,
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- which is quite a good name. - Steve Cleveland!
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- Yes, Stephen Cleveland. - Grover was just a nickname?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- That was his middle name. - Oh, I see.- He swapped them round.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Yeah. Very good.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- David, welcome back.- Alexander.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- Great to have you here from Belfast. - Yeah.- Remind us what you do, David.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I'm an operations manager for an aerospace company.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Which bit of the operation do you oversee, David?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Which bit?- We are busy telling people how to build the plane.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28You must know an aeroplane extremely closely, then?
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- Erm, not really!- No.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I know enough, I know enough.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- You know enough.- I know enough to build them OK, so don't be alarmed.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39"I know enough to build them OK."
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- There we are.- And for the record, we are pretty good.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- PRETTY good.- Pretty good.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48The safety record speaks for itself.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50No hard shoulder at 30,000 feet.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53There we are. Now, David -
0:05:53 > 0:05:54US presidents.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I've got a couple of obvious ones, but I'm going to go for it.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00I don't know if I've got the first name right,
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- so I'm going to go for Harold Taft. - You're going to go for Harold Taft.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- Yeah.- Harold Taft.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08This is new kind of jeopardy.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10This isn't the jeopardy of whether or not it's got a U or S in it.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12It's whether or not it's right.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Harold Taft. Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Oh, David.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- I'm afraid...- Got to try it.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I'm afraid you did, you did the right thing there.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Pointless applauds triers.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Yes, sorry, David. I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the pass.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I do worry, though, that you thought you were all right at US presidents in the same way you said
0:06:35 > 0:06:37you were all right at building planes.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39LAUGHTER
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I'm going to get the sack now, you know that.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Thanks very much, Richard.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Now then, Martin.- Hello.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here from Leeds.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Yes.- What do you do, Martin?
0:06:51 > 0:06:55I'm a stock controller for a dairy company in Leeds.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57That's quite fun.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59No, maybe not?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Is it just the milk bits you look after, or the cheeses and yoghurt?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Cheese, butter, and the milk, yes, yes.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Where does your stock go when it leaves your care?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09To the majority of major supermarkets and wholesalers.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Oh, so this is a massive dairy?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Yes.- Yes.- Yeah.- One of the big ones, I'm guessing?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15One of the big ones.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Now, Martin, what would you like to go for? US presidents.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22I'm going to go for one that's... first name contains U and S,
0:07:22 > 0:07:23controversially.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- But the surname doesn't. - What, like a decoy?
0:07:25 > 0:07:26- Yeah.- Oh, right, OK.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I'm going to say Ulysses S Grant.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31And his middle initial!
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- He's got one in there. - It's entirely contraband.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Ulysses S Grant, says Martin.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Well, our highest score is 100, our lowest is 3,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43let's see where we go with Ulysses S Grant.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Oh, it's still going down, Martin.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Look at that!
0:07:52 > 0:07:557, look at that! Very well done indeed.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Ulysses S Grant, very well done on the far podium.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Very well played, Martin. Yeah, that was like juggling with fire,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- wasn't it?- Yeah.- That was real showboating from Martin.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Well, we are halfway through the round, so let's take a quick look at the scores.
0:08:08 > 0:08:103, the best score in the pass. Dean, very well done indeed.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Then up to 7, where we find Martin and Bill.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Then we travel up to 31, where we find Janet and Julie and then up to 100,
0:08:16 > 0:08:20David and Cherelle, one of our returning pairs.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Cherelle, please have a brilliant, brilliant answer.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27We've got to keep you on after Round One. It would be tragic to send you home that early.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30We're going to come back down the line now.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:08:35 > 0:08:36OK, so, Bill.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Yes, it's US presidents without a U or S in their name.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Bill, a very warm welcome, also from Leeds.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- WITH ELECTRONIC LARYNX:- Thank you, yes.- What do you do, Bill?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- Retired.- What did you do?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50I've done all sorts. Lorry driving, bus driving.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Right you are. And how do you and Martin know each other?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55We are mates.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57We live pretty close to each other.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Right you are, and you are quizzers, aren't you?
0:09:00 > 0:09:01- Oh, yes.- Oh, quizzers!
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Same pub.- Quizzers surely know their US presidents.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Bill, what would you like to go for?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11J Edgar Hoover.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13J Edgar Hoover?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16OK, now the high scorers at the moment are Cherelle and David on 100.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19You are on 7. You need to score 92 or less.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21There's your red line, Bill.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24You have to try and get below that with J Edgar Hoover.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25It has to be right.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Has it got a U or S in?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Let's see how many of our 100 people said J Edgar Hoover.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Oh!
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Bad luck, Bill.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41That takes your total up to 107, having scored you 100.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45But that's a relief for Cherelle and David there.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47107 your total.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Exemplary work on the alphabet, Bill, that was perfect, but, yes,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53he was the director of the FBI, J Edgar Hoover, not president.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Thank you very much.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Now, Cherelle.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Oh, this is exciting.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01If you can score six or less, you are through.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03And remind us what you do, Cherelle.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I work as business support in a bank.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09That's right. And what are your hobbies over there in Belfast?
0:10:09 > 0:10:13I enjoy a bit of baking, so I do. I enjoy...
0:10:13 > 0:10:14Do you have a signature bake?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Is there a thing you're particularly good at?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I make a nice rhubarb and custard cake.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Oh, now, that's nice.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- Mm-hm.- And custard?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Mm-hm.- How do you do it?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Do you do it when the custard's quite jellyish or not?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- I would be telling my secrets now. - Rhubarb and... Oh!
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Sounds nice.- I'm not going to lie - that's made my mouth water.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- What, rhubarb and custard cake?- Mmm.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Well, the good news is, Cherelle, almost certainly,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40with that famous Northern Irish hospitality, has brought us one,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- so there'll be one waiting. - One awaiting us.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44There we are.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Oh, can't wait for that.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Cherelle, we need a score of 6 or less.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51I'm going to say...
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- ..Richard Nixon.- Richard Nixon?
0:10:55 > 0:10:56- Mm-hm.- Richard Nixon.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Here is your red line.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Now then. Bill and Martin helped you out there,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05threw you a bit of a lifeline.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Are you going to make good use of it, I wonder?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Richard Nixon - how many of our 100 people said that?
0:11:13 > 0:11:14It's right.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Oh, it's not bad, 48.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21148 is your total.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I said not bad. What I actually meant was, "Ah!"
0:11:25 > 0:11:28I'm afraid that means you are our high scorers.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Yeah, good answer, though, Richard Nixon.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32He had a ten-pin bowling alley installed in the White House.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Wow. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Now, Gary, welcome back.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Thank you.- The pleasing news is this - you are into the next round.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- That's a relief. - Remind us what you do, Gary.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Like Dean, I'm a civil servant.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Did you both start at the same time at the civil service, or are you...?
0:11:48 > 0:11:49No, I started back in 2000.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Dean was a little bit in front of me in that respect.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Oh, I see. So is one of you senior to the other then?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57In terms of your career, position?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Yeah, I'm probably more senior.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02So Dean started first?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Oh! And Gary's...
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- Senior.- Senior!
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- That's awkward.- Oh!
0:12:08 > 0:12:10And yet, and yet, Dean got Grover Cleveland.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Maybe he's been so busy learning about US presidents
0:12:13 > 0:12:15and perhaps not applying himself.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Well, I'm assuming that Gary is now immediately going to score another 3,
0:12:19 > 0:12:23otherwise that boast is going to look a bit hollow, isn't it?
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Now, Gary, what have you got?
0:12:24 > 0:12:29I'm going to play safe and go Jimmy Carter.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30That hasn't got a U or an S in.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- I'll give him that. - I'll give him that.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Now, OK, Gary, no red line for you, you are already through.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37How many of our 100 people said Jimmy Carter?
0:12:44 > 0:12:4737. Takes your total up to a nice, round 40.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52I suspect that will be our lowest score of the round.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Safely through, very well played.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57He's the great-grandfather of the Carter family in EastEnders.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59LAUGHTER
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Danny Dyer's great-grandfather.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Aw, that's nice.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07There we are, Janet, welcome to the show.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- Hello.- Great to have you here from the West Riding of Yorkshire.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Yes.- Janet, what do you do?
0:13:12 > 0:13:16I'm a legal secretary for a local solicitor's firm.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19You are on top of all the local gossip?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Um, yeah, yeah.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25A bit of gossip of the sort of conveyancing kind, so not really...
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Criminal as well.- Oh!
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Not the conveyancing kind!
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Wow. You've got it all!
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Well, now, where do we start?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38No, what are your interests outside the legal secretarial work?
0:13:38 > 0:13:43I like watching football. I'm a Leeds United fan. I like watching tennis,
0:13:43 > 0:13:47I like eating out, socialising with friends, travelling.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Now, you are through. It doesn't matter what you score,
0:13:50 > 0:13:52but I just have a hunch you might have a good answer.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Two of my answers have gone that I thought of,
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- so I'm going to say Abraham Lincoln. - Abraham Lincoln, says Janet.- Oh!
0:13:58 > 0:14:01To the surprise of Julie.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05No red line. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Abraham Lincoln.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- Oh!- Not bad, 43.
0:14:13 > 0:14:1774 is your total.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19A gentle end to the round there.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Very well done. To clear up a couple of the wrong answers there, David,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26you gave us Harold Taft - it's William Taft.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29William Howard Taft would have scored you 3 points as well.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30Would have been a terrific answer.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32And J Edgar Hoover, not president,
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Herbert Hoover was president and would have scored you 6 points.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Another good answer. Now, no pointless answers at all,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40but there's four 1-pointers.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44You'd have got 1 point for Warren G Harding, William McKinley,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Those are the best answers there, well done if you said one of those.
0:14:49 > 0:14:512 points for James Garfield, James Polk,
0:14:51 > 0:14:533 points for Franklin Pierce,
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Calvin Coolidge and we've already had Cleveland and Taft,
0:14:56 > 0:14:594 points for James Monroe, John Tyler, 6 for Herbert Hoover,
0:14:59 > 0:15:05as we've said. You would have got 48 for JFK and the top three,
0:15:05 > 0:15:07let's take a look at them, the ones that most of our 100 people said,
0:15:07 > 0:15:09no surprises here.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Bill Clinton, 52, Ronald Reagan, also 52
0:15:13 > 0:15:16and top of the shop, Barack Obama, 72.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Thank you very much, Richard.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20So we are at the end of our first round and the pair we have to say
0:15:20 > 0:15:23goodbye to, I'm so sorry, David and Cherelle.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25For the second time. Far too soon to be sending you home.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28But this time, we really are saying goodbye, I'm afraid,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30because it's your second and last chance to appear on the show.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- It's been great having you here, far too brief.- It's been great.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36But you've been wonderful contestants. Thanks very much, Cherelle and David.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43But for our remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51And so suddenly down to three pairs. And at the end of this round, I have to break it to you now,
0:15:51 > 0:15:54we are going to be down to two for our head-to-head round,
0:15:54 > 0:15:57so we're going to have to say goodbye to one of the pairs in front of me.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Our category for Round Two this afternoon is the UK.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05The UK. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:16:05 > 0:16:07who's going to go second? And whoever's going first,
0:16:07 > 0:16:09please step up to the podium.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15OK, and our UK question
0:16:15 > 0:16:17concerns Scotland.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Scotland. Richard.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23On each board, I'm going to show you six clues to facts about Scotland
0:16:23 > 0:16:26and its people - you just need to give us the most obscure you can.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28There's 12 in all to have a go at at home.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33OK, so, here is our first board of clues to facts about Scotland
0:16:33 > 0:16:35and here are the first six.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01I will read those all again.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27So, Janet, what would you like to go for?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I think there's only two I definitely know,
0:17:29 > 0:17:31so I'm going to go for the Scottish band, The Proclaimers.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33The Proclaimers, says Janet.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37The Proclaimers. Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40It's right.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- Oh!- 71.
0:17:43 > 0:17:4571, that's high.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Yes, a big score. They are so greatly loved, The Proclaimers, aren't they?
0:17:48 > 0:17:52And everyone knows them and everyone loves their songs.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Yeah.- You don't see them interviewed much, there's no hype around them.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57But everybody loves them.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Just brilliant. Gary.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05- Gary.- I think I'll go for the Scottish hero played by Mel Gibson
0:18:05 > 0:18:08in Braveheart as William Wallace.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10William Wallace, says Gary.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Let's see how many of our 100 people went with William Wallace.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Not bad, 40 for Wallace.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Well played, Gary. That was written by Randall Wallace,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29who was convinced he is related to William Wallace.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32He's not been able to prove it, but he said, "I'm certain I was."
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Very good. Now then, Bill.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36This board is all yours.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39If you fancy it, you could go through the whole board.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I think I might know one.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44OK. What are you going to go for?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47The former Scottish footballer.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- Bill Shankly. - Bill Shankly, says Bill.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Absolutely right. 71 is our highest score. You pass it.
0:19:00 > 0:19:0340 our low score. You pass it.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04Bill Shankly... Down to 21.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Very well done indeed, Bill.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Yeah, very well played, Bill.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Let's take a look at the rest of these.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17The city in which the Scottish Parliament meets, Edinburgh.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22That's 69 points. The poet is Liz Lochhead. She would've scored you 2 points.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23The best answer on the board.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- And the philosopher and economist featured on the note...- Adam Smith.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Adam Smith.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29He would have scored you 16.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35So we're halfway through the round, but before we come back down the line,
0:19:35 > 0:19:36let's take a look at those scores.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Well done, Bill. Bill and Martin, our low scorers at this point on 21,
0:19:40 > 0:19:45then up to 40 where we find Gary and Dean, then 71, Janet and Julie.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Julie... I mean, you're not way ahead...
0:19:48 > 0:19:50But you're...way ahead.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Yeah.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55We need a low score from you, Julie, and we certainly have to hope,
0:19:55 > 0:19:57not that we wish misfortune on anyone,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59but we have to hope that someone else gets a high score.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:20:07 > 0:20:10OK, let's put six more Scottish clues up on the board and here they come.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43I'll read those one last time.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10There we are. Now, remember, Martin,
0:21:10 > 0:21:14we're looking for the most obscure answer you can find on that board.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Yeah, it's a bit trickier than the previous board, this one.
0:21:18 > 0:21:24So I'm going to go fairly safe and go for the 18th-century Scottish poet
0:21:24 > 0:21:26and say Robert Burns.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Robert or Rabbie Burns, you're going to say.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Now 49 or less means you'll avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36There's your red line. Let's see how many people went for Robbie Burns.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41It's right.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Ooh, 74. Takes your total up to 95.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Yeah, a big score for Burns.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Made all his money from the lyrics to Auld Lang Syne, made a fortune,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53used to play it on the radio so much.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Every New Year. Ka-ching!
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- Boom.- Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Now, Dean.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Dean, you're on 40. If you can score 54 or less,
0:22:03 > 0:22:04you're in the head-to-head.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09I'm going to go for the islands to the north-east of the mainland which
0:22:09 > 0:22:13form the northernmost point of the UK as the Shetland Islands.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16The Shetland Islands, says Dean. Let's see if that's right,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19There's your red line.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22It's right.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25And you are through. Very well done.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26Just!
0:22:26 > 0:22:3142. 54 was your target, 82 is your total.
0:22:31 > 0:22:37Very well played. There's been evidence of settlers in the Shetland Islands since 3,000 BCE.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- Amazing, isn't it?- There we are.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Thank you very much. Now then, Julie.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- Yes.- This is very exciting.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46You have to score 23 or less.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Now, how are we feeling about Scotland?
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Well, I'm not feeling as confident about this board as the last one.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55I don't know whether the battle is Culloden, but I'm not sure.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59The city, it's either Glasgow or Strathclyde.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01I don't know the First Minister,
0:23:01 > 0:23:05but I'm going to go for the last one, and I think, I'm not 100%,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07that it's Ian Rankin.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Ian Rankin, says Julie.
0:23:08 > 0:23:1223 is your target, which looks like this.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16There is your red line. Get below that, you are in the head-to-head.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17Ohh!
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Martin and Bill, a lot riding on this.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Ian Rankin. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Ian Rankin.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- It's right.- Wow.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Still going down, Julie.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Oh, you've done it! Look at that - 22.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37You needed 23 and you've got 22.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Now that is economy.
0:23:40 > 0:23:4393 is your total, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Look at those three scores there - very close all round.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47Terrific round, everybody.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Ian Rankin, wonderful, Ian Rankin.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Everything he writes, he's such a terrific novelist.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56The 1746 battle, you were correct, it's Culloden.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- Was it?- That would have scored you too many points though.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Oh.- That would have scored you 33,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02so you were right to go with Ian Rankin.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04The city is Glasgow.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05Glasgow.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Too many points for that as well, 61 points.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11The best answer on the board is the politician, Jack McConnell.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Oh, I was going to say Donald Dewar.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- Right, sorry.- Jack McConnell, he would have scored you 3 points.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Very well done if you said that.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18Thank you very much indeed.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21At the end of our second round, the pair we're saying goodbye to,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23I'm afraid it's our quizzers over there on the far podium,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Martin and Bill. I am so sorry.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Very close, though.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Probably need to start quizzing in Scotland more.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- Maybe, just a thought. - Just a thought.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Well, look how close that is, 82, 93, 95.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Very exciting and satisfactory grouping at the top there.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40But, Martin and Bill, I'm sorry to say goodbye to you now.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43We will see you again next time, we look forward to that.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Thanks very much. Martin and Bill.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Many, many congratulations, Dean and Gary, Janet and Julie,
0:24:59 > 0:25:01you are now one step closer to the final
0:25:01 > 0:25:06and a chance to play for that jackpot which is currently standing at...
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Well, it's our civil servants versus our sisters.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14That's a match we haven't really had before, I don't think.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18But, Dean and Gary, you were round one exiteers last time.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20So, yes, you haven't been this far, and, Janet and Julie,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22this is your first appearance on the show.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24So who knows what's going to happen?
0:25:24 > 0:25:27But best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37OK. Here is your first question and it concerns...
0:25:41 > 0:25:42Like Janet and Julie today.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45We are going to show you five pictures now of people
0:25:45 > 0:25:46who have played siblings on-screen,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49but we've obscured someone in each of the photographs.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51We need you to tell us who we have obscured in each of these, please.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56Best of luck. The actor we're looking for who is obscured in each of these pictures.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58OK. The missing sibling in each of these
0:25:58 > 0:26:00screen sibling partnerships. And here they are.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02We have got...
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Now, Dean and Gary, you've been our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Feel free to confer.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42OK. We know a lot of them.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47But we're going to go for D, for Kelsey Grammer.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Kelsey Grammer, say Dean and Gary. Kelsey Grammer.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Now, Janet and Julie,
0:26:52 > 0:26:55do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58A is Pauline Quirke, we don't know B at all.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02C is Nicholas Lyndhurst and E, we think, is Courteney Cox.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- We are going to go for... - Courteney Cox.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- E, Courteney Cox. - E, Courteney Cox.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09So we have Kelsey Grammer and we have Courteney Cox.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Dean and Gary went for Kelsey Grammer for D.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18It's right.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Oh, look at that. Down it goes,
0:27:24 > 0:27:2615.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34I can't work out... I can't call this one at all because Courteney Cox,
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Kelsey Grammer...
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Let's find out.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Courteney Cox for E is what Janet and Julie have gone for.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Is it good enough to beat Kelsey Grammer?
0:27:43 > 0:27:44Let's find out.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Down it goes. It's going to be close.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55- Oh!- Well done.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00Very well done indeed. Kelsey Grammer, Dean and Gary.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Yeah, that was very close.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06You chose the best one of the ones you knew, though.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10The other two that you mentioned, Pauline Quirke was A.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13She would have scored too many points, 39.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16You were right about C as well. It is Nicholas Lyndhurst.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Surprisingly low score for Nicholas Lyndhurst, 46 points.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- Wow.- Obviously the character name everyone knows,
0:28:21 > 0:28:23but you would have thought that he would have scored more.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26And the best answer on the board, cos it's a pointless answer,
0:28:26 > 0:28:28from the wonderful Modern Family,
0:28:28 > 0:28:31she plays Hayley and it's Sarah Hyland.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Very well done if you said that at home.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37So here comes your second question.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Janet and Julie, you will get to answer it first.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41But you have to win it to stay in the game.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43So best of luck with that.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Our second question this afternoon is all about...
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Historical Fashion, Richard.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Yes, five clues now to historical fashion items and accessories.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55We're also going to give you the first letter of each answer.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57Marvellous. Thank you very much.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01Let's reveal our clues to historical fashion items.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02And here they are...
0:29:24 > 0:29:27I'll read those again.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Janet and Julie, you will go first.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49(Bustle or cravat?)
0:29:50 > 0:29:53(No, no, I think that's too high. We'll go for bustle.)
0:29:54 > 0:29:58OK, we're going to for the top one, bustle.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Bustle, say Janet and Julie.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Bustle for the top one.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06Now then, Dean and Gary, do you want to talk us through the rest?
0:30:06 > 0:30:11We know a few of them. The wide strip of fabric would be a collar,
0:30:11 > 0:30:14an item of boned underwear is a corset,
0:30:14 > 0:30:18the starched frill worn around the neck would be the ruff,
0:30:18 > 0:30:23and we're not sure about the stiffened petticoat.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25We're going to go with the starched frill as a ruff.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28A ruff. So we have bustle and we have ruff.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Julie and Janet said bustle for the top one. Let's see if that's right,
0:30:31 > 0:30:33let's see how many of our 100 said bustle.
0:30:41 > 0:30:4351 for bustle.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Dean and Gary, meanwhile, have gone for ruff.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:30:58 > 0:30:5962.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04That's exactly what you needed, Julie and Janet - you're back in the game.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Coincidentally, Ruff Bustle is my rap name.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10LAUGHTER
0:31:10 > 0:31:11That's nice, isn't it? Isn't it?
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Now, gents, 62 was too many points,
0:31:13 > 0:31:17but you would have got through to the final with the second answer,
0:31:17 > 0:31:19the wide strip of fabric, but it's not a collar.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23So you wouldn't have done. It's a cravat.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25- Cravat.- Yes, cravat.
0:31:25 > 0:31:26Named after those Croat mercenaries.
0:31:26 > 0:31:2848 point for that.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30The boned underwear is, of course, a corset.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33That would have scored 93 points.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36A big score. And the stiffened petticoat is a crinoline.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Would have scored you 29.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Best answer on the board there at the bottom.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43Thanks very much, Richard.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45OK, it all comes down to the third question.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Whoever wins this goes through to the final to play for that jackpot.
0:31:48 > 0:31:49Best of luck to both pairs.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Our third question this afternoon concerns...
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Bad songs, essentially.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01We're going to show you five songs now containing the word bad.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03We need you to tell us who had a hit with these songs, please.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05We've given you those initials too.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Whoever gives us the most obscure answer is going through to play for the jackpot.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11OK, let's reveal our five songs and here they are.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14We have got...
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Now, Dean and Gary, you will go first.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41(The second one is Bon Jovi, obviously.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45- (The bottom one is Lady Gaga, Bad Romance.- Shall we go with that?
0:32:45 > 0:32:47(Bon Jovi?)
0:32:47 > 0:32:52Yeah, we're going to try the second one, You Give Love A Bad Name, Bon Jovi.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Bon Jovi, say Dean and Gary, Bon Jovi.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59Now then, Julie and Janet, do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?
0:32:59 > 0:33:02The bottom one we think is Lady Gaga, we don't know the fourth one,
0:33:02 > 0:33:05the third one down, Bad Boys, Wham!
0:33:05 > 0:33:08But we're going to go for the first one, Creedence Clearwater Revival.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12Creedence Clearwater Revival, say Janet and Julie.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15So we have Bon Jovi and we have Creedence Clearwater Revival.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Now then, Dean and Gary went for Bon Jovi. Let's see if that's right.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Let's see how many people said it.
0:33:23 > 0:33:24It's right.
0:33:29 > 0:33:30Wow.
0:33:31 > 0:33:3312 for Bon Jovi.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41Janet and Julie, meanwhile, have gone for Creedence Clearwater Revival.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Let's see how many people said that.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51It's right. It has to go down to 12 and...
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Oh! 38!
0:33:56 > 0:33:5838 for Creedence Clearwater Revival.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03There we are. Which means well done, Dean and Gary,
0:34:03 > 0:34:06after three questions you are through to the final 2-1.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Yes, the biggest answer on the board, Creedence Clearwater Revival.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13I think the initials, there's three of them and the song is so famous.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Very interesting, the psychology of the people who answer the questions,
0:34:16 > 0:34:19I have to say. This next one down, Bad Boys, which is Wham!,
0:34:19 > 0:34:21famous song but very low scorer.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23- It would have scored you 8 points. - Oh, no!- Wow.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26And that's again because it's just W and you've got such
0:34:26 > 0:34:29little time to answer it when you are one of 100 people.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31You've got your 100 seconds, you are answering all these things.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Bad Day, this is the best answer on the board.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Daniel Powter.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Canadian, I think.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41And even Lady Gaga at the bottom there.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Only scored 14. It goes to show, doesn't it?
0:34:44 > 0:34:49It's just sometimes the brain sees a series of initials and it sparks something off.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- Yeah. - I think maybe three initials,
0:34:52 > 0:34:55perhaps that does something to the brain that two initials doesn't do.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Interesting. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm sorry,
0:35:01 > 0:35:05Julie and Janet, I could hear from the sounds you were making that you
0:35:05 > 0:35:08were surprised and slightly dismayed by the turnout there.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12But you had Wham! You had Wham! so you could have gone for Wham!
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Anyway, we've all had an insight
0:35:14 > 0:35:16into the psychology of our 100 people there,
0:35:16 > 0:35:19which I'm sure you'll be able to put to good use when you come back next time.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22We look forward to that very much.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25In the meantime, thanks very much. Janet and Julie.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28But for Dean and Gary, it is now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Congratulations, Dean and Gary.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38You have fought off all the competition and you have won
0:35:38 > 0:35:39our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at...
0:35:51 > 0:35:54There it is. What do you want to see in this last round -
0:35:54 > 0:35:55anything in particular?
0:35:55 > 0:35:57We'd love a bit of sport.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01A bit of sport. There is always usually a bit of sport.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Even if it comes smuggled in under some other pretext.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Sport we can probably rely on.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Anything else, any other areas of expertise?
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Nail that down to Wolverhampton Wanderers in football in sport.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13I think now you're getting cheeky, Gary.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14Best of luck. You know what happens.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18We'll put four things up on the board, usually fairly bewildering things,
0:36:18 > 0:36:20but let's hope there's something there you quite like the look of.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Today's selection looks very much like this.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33I think you can rule out one or two. Three or four. You choose.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35I think we'll go with the sport one probably.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Yeah, OK. We'll go with Olympic Jumping Events.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Olympic Jumping Events, Richard.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Very best of luck, gents. We are looking for anyone who has won a medal of any colour
0:36:43 > 0:36:46in the Olympics since 1968 in any of the following three
0:36:46 > 0:36:47events, please.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Any medallist in the long jump,
0:36:49 > 0:36:52any medallist in the high jump and, you can probably guess the next one,
0:36:52 > 0:36:55any medallist in the triple jump, please.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57So from 1968 through to 2012, gold, silver,
0:36:57 > 0:37:00bronze medallists in any of those three events, please.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02- Very best of luck.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Now, as always, you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers,
0:37:05 > 0:37:09and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:09 > 0:37:11- Yes.- Very good.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19- Yeah, Greg Rutherford was the... - Greg Rutherford.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Long jumper.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22Carl Lewis.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Carl Lewis was long jump.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Same sort of time.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Going back further. Bob Beamon.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37Was a record held for a long, long time.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40- In the long jump, wasn't it? - He was, yes.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- Triple...- We're going to have to get that right then.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48I think Carl Lewis is...
0:37:48 > 0:37:51a good one because people associate him with sprinting, not jumping.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54That was long jump, wasn't it?
0:37:54 > 0:37:56- Yeah.- Carl Lewis for long jump.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Bob Beamon. Take a risk. Which one did he do?
0:37:59 > 0:38:00Was he...?
0:38:02 > 0:38:03It was a massive distance.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- Ten seconds left.- OK. I think it was possibly triple.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- And Greg Rutherford.- And Greg Rutherford.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13Bob Beamon, Greg Rutherford and Carl Lewis.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15OK, that is your time up.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Sounds like you've arrived at your three answers.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20What are they going to be? If you say which category you are answering in,
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- that would be great.- We're going to go for Greg Rutherford
0:38:23 > 0:38:26in the long jump.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Greg Rutherford.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29Carl Lewis, long jump.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Yes. Carl Lewis.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33And we're going to go with Bob Beamon.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37As you probably heard, we couldn't make our mind up which one he'd done,
0:38:37 > 0:38:39- but we'll go triple jump. - Triple jump for Bob Beamon.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43OK. Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:43 > 0:38:46I think Carl Lewis because most people think he's a sprinter.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48- And forget about the jumping ones. - Yes. OK, put Carl Lewis last.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- Probably Greg Rutherford. - Greg Rutherford and then Beamon in the middle.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55OK, perfect, let's pop those on the board in that order.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58And here they are. We've got...
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Well, best of luck. If one of those answers turns out to be pointless,
0:39:03 > 0:39:06what would you do with that money?
0:39:06 > 0:39:10Well, I quite like adrenaline experience days and I've had a passion since
0:39:10 > 0:39:13I was a small child to learn how to ride a speedway bike.
0:39:13 > 0:39:14OK, put it towards that.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15- Gary, how about you?- Well,
0:39:15 > 0:39:18I would put it towards taking my little girl to Lapland.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Me and my wife have taken our two boys and we'd like to take her at
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- Christmas this year.- Lovely. Very nice indeed. OK.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Well, let's look at your first answer, Greg Rutherford.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29In this case we were looking for a long jump medal winners.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Only one of these has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot,
0:39:32 > 0:39:35but if Greg Rutherford is pointless, it will win you £1,000.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38How many of our 100 people said Greg Rutherford?
0:39:41 > 0:39:42It's right.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Greg Rutherford now taking us down through the 60s and the 50s.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48If this goes all the way down to zero, you leave here with £1,000.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Down through the 20s. Into the teens.
0:39:51 > 0:39:5216.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Not a bad answer.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00I got the feeling he was slightly filling that first place for you anyway.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Your next answer was Bob Beamon.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08In this case we were looking for triple jump medal winners,
0:40:08 > 0:40:09that's the one you nominated for Bob Beamon.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13If this is right, if this is pointless, you will leave here with £1,000.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16How many people said Bob Beamon for the triple jump?
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Bad luck.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24We will discover why that is wrong shortly.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26But that means you only have one more shot at today's jackpot,
0:40:26 > 0:40:30which means everything is now riding on Carl Lewis.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34This was your most confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36You were hoping most people would think of Carl Lewis as a sprinter,
0:40:36 > 0:40:38not a long jumper.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40But we are going for long jump medal winners.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43It Carl Lewis is pointless, it will win you £1,000.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45How many people said Carl Lewis?
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Well, it's right. As was Greg Rutherford,
0:40:51 > 0:40:53who took us all the way down to 16.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Bob Beamon, unfortunately, an incorrect answer,
0:40:55 > 0:40:58but Carl Lewis now taking us down through the teens.
0:40:58 > 0:41:0012, bad luck.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Well, appropriately, you had a good run at that but I'm afraid
0:41:08 > 0:41:12you just didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:12 > 0:41:14so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16That will roll over on to the next show
0:41:16 > 0:41:19but we really enjoyed having you on, two shows you've been on.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23Out in Round One last time but this time, very good account you have made of yourselves.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25I'm sorry we didn't get to send you away with the prize but
0:41:25 > 0:41:27you get a Pointless trophy each to take home.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30- That's great.- Fantastic.- Very well done indeed. Dean and Gary.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Yes, very well played, gents.
0:41:36 > 0:41:37Bob Beamon, a long jumper,
0:41:37 > 0:41:39he held that world record for like 20-odd years.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42He would have scored you 4 points, though, for long jump.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45So, fortunately, was not a pointless answer in that category either.
0:41:45 > 0:41:46Loads of pointless answers,
0:41:46 > 0:41:49including a few Brits in some of these categories.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52We'll start with long jump medal winners...
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Everyone for the long jump was a pointless answer
0:42:00 > 0:42:03apart from Greg Rutherford, Carl Lewis, Bob Beamon.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06There was Mike Powell, he would have scored you points.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Jackie Joyner and also Heike Dreschler.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10The German would have scored you points.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Everyone else a pointless answer on that list.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14The high jump medal winners now...
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Robert Grabarz, a British bronze medallist.
