0:00:16 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed. Hello.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless, the show where the aim of the game is to score
0:00:27 > 0:00:31as few points as you can. And you do that by coming up with the answers no-one else can think of.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38And couple number one...
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Hi. My name's Shirley, this is my boyfriend Martyn and we live in Cardiff.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Couple number two...
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Hello, I'm Nadia, this is my friend Sam and we're from Southampton.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Couple number three...
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm Tommy and this is my friend Will and we're from Belfast.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And, finally, couple number four...
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Junaid, this is my friend Jonathan and we're from Manchester.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Thanks very much, all of you. A very warm welcome to the show.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Here to shout at us like an angry member of the Question Time audience,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13it's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Hiya. Hey, everybody.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Good afternoon to you.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- Good afternoon.- Now, an open field today, really.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- Yeah. - It's - what? - three new pairs.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Only one pair who were on last time, Martyn and Shirley,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28and they got knocked out in Round One, on podium one.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- They're back on podium one, which is good.- Yeah.- Hopefully, we see more of them.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34The first two rounds - both very different subjects.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38I think it'd be hard to be very good at both, I suspect.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Actually, YOU might be quite good at both.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- You might be.- I...am intrigued. - There's going to come a show where you are.- Oh!
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Surely, one of these days.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Thank you very much, Richard.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Now, Chris and James won the jackpot last time,
0:01:51 > 0:01:55so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58There it is. Right. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08OK, remember this - the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11That is it. Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:15 > 0:02:18It's Nature. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20who's going to go second? And whoever's going first,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22please step up to the podium.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:30 > 0:02:32It's all about trees. Richard.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Yeah, a fun one, this. Essentially, what we're going to do,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38we're going to ask you some questions about trees.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Yeah.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43OK, why don't you give us some answers?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- That'd be great. Correct answers would be... - Brilliant.- ..as always, better.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Incorrect answers - steer clear if you can.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52OK. Questions about trees.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55We are looking for the trees that complete these clues.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58There are trees that will complete the seven clues that are going up
0:02:58 > 0:03:01on this board any second now. Here they come...
0:03:30 > 0:03:32I'm going to read those all ag...
0:03:32 > 0:03:33This is fun, isn't it?
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Here we go.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03There we are. A board of trees.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Shirley, welcome.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06- Hello.- Good to have you back here.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Now, tell us what happened last time, in Round One.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12You should probably ask Martyn that question.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Yes. Harold Pinter.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Harold Pinter, indeed.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19There we go. Now, Shirley, remind us what you do.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- I'm an architect. - You're an architect in Cardiff?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- Yes.- And what are your hobbies?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26I play a lot of tennis, cook a lot.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29We like to go travelling.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30You got plans to travel this year?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32We're going to Norway...
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- Oh, beautiful.- ..pretty soon, to the fjords.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Whereabouts are you going? - Western fjords.- Lovely.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Go out to the Lofoten Islands.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41- Ah...- Very beautiful indeed. - We saw your programme.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- Mm!- Don't know if I should mention that.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45It's on the other side, so this will be cut. So, er, yeah.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Now then, Shirley.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51I think this is good, isn't it?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Er...
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Yeah, um... Ish!
0:04:55 > 0:04:56I'm going to go...
0:04:56 > 0:04:58The state tree of Vermont.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- Maple.- Maple.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- Good job we had the pancake clue in there, wasn't it?- Indeed.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Yeah, maple. Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said maple.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09It's right.
0:05:11 > 0:05:1369.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Very much the Harold Pinter of that board, I fear.- I know.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- 69 for maple.- Yeah, the maple. It's actually officially the sugar maple.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24The state coins of Vermont are of a man collecting sap in buckets.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Thank you, Richard.- Pleasure. - Thank you. Nadia.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- Yes.- Welcome to Pointless. It's great to have you here. What do you do, Nadia?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I work for Southampton City Council.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35We are special educational needs officers, both of us.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Who was there first? - We started on the same day.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Aw, friends from the very beginning!
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Almost!- Thrown together! - NOT friends from the very beginning.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44What happened?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I didn't really like Sam for the first week,
0:05:47 > 0:05:50just because I found her a bit competitive and a bit annoying,
0:05:50 > 0:05:54so... But we bonded quite quickly and now we're very good friends.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Aw! Well, you can be as competitive and as annoying as you like
0:05:57 > 0:05:59on this show. Competitive is good.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- She's good for some stuff, yeah. - Yeah, it's great. Nadia, trees.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Trees.- Yeah, I know a few of them.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I think I'm going to go for
0:06:07 > 0:06:09the Dream A Little Dream Of Me,
0:06:09 > 0:06:11and that's the sycamore tree.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Sycamore tree, says Nadia.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people
0:06:16 > 0:06:17said sycamore.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22It's right. Well, you pass 69,
0:06:22 > 0:06:23which was our only score so far.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Sycamore - look at that. Down it goes.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Great answer. 21.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Yeah, well played. They're very resilient trees, sycamores.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37They often plant them in coastal areas, cos they can take all sorts of sea spray.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- And in towns and cities, as well, cos they're very resistant to pollution.- Yeah. There you are.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Thank you, Richard. Now, Will, welcome to the show.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Great to have you here. What do you do, Will?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I sort of split my time between
0:06:48 > 0:06:51playing wheelchair rugby semi-professionally,
0:06:51 > 0:06:55and I also help with Disability Sport Northern Ireland.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- Fantastic. Let's talk about the wheelchair rugby.- Yeah.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58How long have you done that for?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02About four years I've been playing and now I've made my way into the Irish team. So...
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Fantastic. That's about as hard as it gets, isn't it, wheelchair rugby?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08I think it looks harder than it is. It's like dodgems with a ball.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Really?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13OK. Will, trees.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17With the ones left, I'll probably
0:07:17 > 0:07:19just have to go with the cricket one
0:07:19 > 0:07:21and say ash.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Ash, says Will.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Let's see how many of our 100 people spotted ash.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Well, it's right. 69...
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Ooh, 80. A new high score.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Bit of a relief for Shirley.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Bit of a reprieve on podium one there. 80 for ash.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Better than 100, though. Yeah, there's seven billion ash trees in America,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43but they're threatened by the ash borer beetle.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Yeah.- You know that?
0:07:45 > 0:07:46The dieback, yeah.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- It's terrible. - It's a shame, isn't it?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Ash...- Yes? - You can burn immediately.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Normally, when you chop down trees, you have to season them for quite a long time before you can burn them.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Really?- Ash... Oh!- What, you can't just chop down a tree and burn it?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- No.- Then how do those forest fires happen?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- Cos it's... Cos it's full of... - What do they do?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- Just go around the ashes? - Yeah.- All the other trees going...
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- It's generally the leaves that burn in the forest.- The other ashes just going, "A bit hot, isn't it?"
0:08:09 > 0:08:11"It's fine. It's fine with me."
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- Yeah.- So it's the leaves that burn rather than the wood?- Yeah.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16You know a lot about trees.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Turns out I do.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21What about that? Thanks very much, Richard.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Now then, Junaid, welcome to Pointless.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Hi.- Great to have you here. What do you do, Junaid?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I'm a trainee accountant in Manchester.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29How long have you been training?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Well, I graduated last year, so since September.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36- So, it's a year of training, is it? - No, I've got about one and a half to two years of professional exams.- OK.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38And you're going to stick the accountancy course?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- Yeah.- Happy with it? Enjoying it?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- Yeah, yeah.- All is good. What are your hobbies, aside from that?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45At university, I was in the equestrian society,
0:08:45 > 0:08:48cos I went to university in Edinburgh, so there was the opportunity for that.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51So, was that sort of eventing, is it, or...?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53No, it was more just learning how to ride a horse, basically.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56We never took part in show-jumping or anything!
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Did you learn?- I did, yeah.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- Could you jump?- I didn't jump, no. I was a bit scared to jump.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03No, one step at a time, I think, Junaid.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Now, you are the last person to have this board of trees.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Yeah.- If you wanted to, you could go through it and fill in
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- all the blanks. - I don't know the bottom two.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15I think conker comes from an oak tree but I'm not 100% sure,
0:09:15 > 0:09:17so I might risk it on the Harry Potter one.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I think it's the elder wood tree.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- You're going to say...?- Elder wood.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Elder wood. Let's see if that's right,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26let's see how many of our 100 people said elder wood.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Oh, Junaid!
0:09:31 > 0:09:34I'm so sorry. We will discover why that is incorrect,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36but I'm afraid it is incorrect. It scores you 100.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39You're not that too far out ahead, actually, it has to be said.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Your nearest rival's only on 80, but, er, yeah.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Yeah, it's just the elder tree, I'm afraid, and it's never called the elder wood tree.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47So, the sugar maple is often called the maple, but it's not,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49and we wouldn't have accepted that from our 100 people,
0:09:49 > 0:09:51so we can't accept it here, I'm afraid.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55So, elder was the answer - would've been the best answer on the board as well, six points.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- Now, king of the trees, Mr Alexander Armstrong.- I can do it!
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- I can do it! - The shiny dark brown inedible seed?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- Horse chestnut.- Horse chestnut.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05That would have scored 45.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08If you were up the top of a large deciduous tree which had a homophone
0:10:08 > 0:10:10meaning "seashore", what tree would you be up?
0:10:10 > 0:10:11- I'd be up a beech. - You'd be up a beech tree?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Yeah. I'd be up a beech tree.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Absolutely right. 17 points for that.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17And the symbol in the centre
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- of the Lebanese flag... - Is a cedar.- ..is a cedar.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21And that would have scored 28 points.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Thank you very much indeed. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.
0:10:24 > 0:10:2621, Nadia. What about that?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Yeah!- Best score of the pass. Very good indeed. Nadia and Sam,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31I think you will be in the next round.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33We then travel quite a long way up to 69,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Shirley and Martyn. But I think you'll be in the next round as well.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Unless something catastrophic happens, Martyn.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Better than last time.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Then up to 80, where we find Tommy and Will,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45and then up to 100, Junaid and Jonathan.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47So, Jonathan, let's find a nice low score.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49You're the first person to have a crack at the next board -
0:10:49 > 0:10:51see if you can find a nice low score. Best of luck with that.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01OK, we're going to put seven more clues up on the board,
0:11:01 > 0:11:02and here they are...
0:11:03 > 0:11:04We have got...
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I will read those all one last time.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I think that's a tougher board, Jonathan.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Mm.- I- think. Anyway, welcome. Good to have you here from Manchester.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12- Thank you.- What do you do, Jonathan?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I'm a trainee accountant, working in Bury.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17What are your hobbies, Jonathan?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I like my music, so I play the guitar
0:12:19 > 0:12:23and I write my own songs and play with friends and stuff like that.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25You play with friends, like, in a band or...?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27No, sadly not, but...
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- Solo?- Yeah.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31- Everything.- Um...
0:12:31 > 0:12:35And also, we are part of a quiz team together, not a very successful one,
0:12:35 > 0:12:37but we do quiz.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39It's not going brilliantly so far...
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- No.- ..that quiz team, but I think that could all change now, though,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Jonathan. You could find a really good low score here.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I might be completely wrong, but I'm going to guess that
0:12:47 > 0:12:50the non-native broadleaf tree might be the walnut tree.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Walnut. Walnut, says Jonathan.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54No red line for you - you're the high scorers.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Let's see how many of our 100 people said walnut.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Absolutely right, Jonathan.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Got to hope this goes a long way down the column...
0:13:04 > 0:13:06And there it goes. 29 - not bad.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09129 is your total.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11You might have kept yourself in the game, though, Jonathan.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Great answer, Jonathan. Well played.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17They say that rotating walnuts in the palm of your hand is very good for stress and circulation.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Mm, very nice. Now, Tommy.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Welcome. Welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here. What do you do,
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- Tommy?- I'm currently doing a PGCE,
0:13:27 > 0:13:31so that's, like, training to be a teacher. Geography, in particular.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32Was that your degree, geography?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Well, my degree was business with geography.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Right.- So I'm kind of secretly hoping geography doesn't come up,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- cos then...- Right.- ..in future,
0:13:41 > 0:13:46if I go to job interviews and I got 100 in a geography round,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- that doesn't look great.- Ah!
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Interviewers have long memories, Tommy.- They do, and they watch a lot of Pointless.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Oh, they do, right about now.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Yeah.- Yeah. Now, Tommy, you're on 80.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58You have to score 48 or less to stay in the game.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00OK, well, I think I have an idea for two,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03but I'm going to have to just pick one that I'm more confident with,
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I guess, but knowing me it'll probably be wrong.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I'm going to go for the national tree of Finland and I'm going to say
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- birch.- You're going to say birch for the national tree of Finland.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Let's see if that's right. There's your red line.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Get below that and you're through to the next round.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18How many people said it? Is it right?
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Oh, bad luck, Tommy.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Bad luck! That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 180.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28That's a reprieve on the far podium there.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Yes, 180.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Sorry, Tommy, I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the pass.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Thanks very much, Richard.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Now then, Sam.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Listen, great news.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Great news on the back of Tommy's score there.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43In fact, even on the back of the high score on the far podium,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45you are already through to the next round.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Sam, what do you do? Sorry, I know what you do.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- Yeah.- I know exactly what you do.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51So, hang on. Nadia thought you were a bit competitive -
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- what were you doing that was so competitive?- I really don't know.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58She generally has quite a bad opinion of most people
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- on first meeting them!- Yeah.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02I was completely unaware.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Sam, what are your hobbies?
0:15:05 > 0:15:09I do a lot of cooking, a lot of baking, a lot of craft,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12go to a lot of festivals and gigs and things.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- Just...- Very good. Now, Sam, 21 is your score.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17It doesn't matter what you score - you're through to the next round.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20So there will be no red line for you. But what do you want to go for?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Um, I'll go...
0:15:22 > 0:15:26for the top one, then, the one that koalas like.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I'll say eucalyptus.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Eucalyptus, says Sam. Let's see if that's right and let's see how many
0:15:31 > 0:15:34of our 100 people said eucalyptus. As I said, no red line for you.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37It is eucalyptus.
0:15:41 > 0:15:4248.
0:15:42 > 0:15:4369 is your total.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Yeah, well played. There's a species called the rainbow eucalyptus.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51When it sheds its bark, it's green and then it changes colours into
0:15:51 > 0:15:53all sorts of... A rainbow of colours.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57- That's pretty, isn't it? - That's nice.- Yeah.- There we are. Thank you, Richard.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- OK, Martyn.- Hello.- Welcome back. - Thank you.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01One of our two Martyns from the...
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- Indeed.- The only surviving Martyn from the last show.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05We had loads of them. Loads of them.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Remind us what you do, Martyn.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I work for a large finance company
0:16:09 > 0:16:11in the area of pensions.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13In the area of pensions?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- Mm.- And what are your hobbies, Martyn?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Sports, mainly. Sport and travel...
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Yeah, sports. I love rugby, being a Welshman.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Play a bit of snooker,
0:16:22 > 0:16:23a bit of golf,
0:16:23 > 0:16:25occasionally tennis with Shirley -
0:16:25 > 0:16:26very occasionally.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28She beats me heavily.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30But, yeah, sports are my main...
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Trees, Martyn? I was looking for trees in there.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- Haven't heard it yet.- Mm.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- Mm.- When Nature came up, I must admit, I was worried.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- OK.- The Finland one, I don't know...
0:16:40 > 0:16:43But the next one, conifer, is, I believe, the juniper.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46The book by Kenneth Grahame I would say is Wind In The Willows,
0:16:46 > 0:16:49so a willow. The berry is the holly,
0:16:49 > 0:16:54but I'm going to go for the bottom one, which is the town
0:16:54 > 0:16:56of Sevenoaks, so I'm going to go oak.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59There we are. Oak, says Martyn. I think you've gone for the best one.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said oak.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04No red line for you, as you're already through.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09It is oak.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14There we are.
0:17:14 > 0:17:1518 - very well done indeed.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17The best score of the round, in fact.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- 87 is your total. Very well done. - Well played, Martyn.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- That's more like it, isn't it? - It is, indeed, yeah.- What a relief!
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Now, let's see if you can fill in this board.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Tommy, you were very, very unlucky with birch.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31It's not birch - very specifically, it's the silver birch, I'm afraid.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Aw!- And silver birch would have been a good scorer, as well.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Would have scored you 12 points.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39The conifer, you are absolutely right, Martyn, is juniper.
0:17:39 > 0:17:4242 for that. The Kenneth Grahame book is Wind In The Willows,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44so that's willow.
0:17:44 > 0:17:4638. And you did choose the right one of the ones you knew, because
0:17:46 > 0:17:50the plant with berries is holly and that would have scored 74,
0:17:50 > 0:17:53so silver birch would have been the best answer on the board, as well.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Thanks very much. So, at the end of our first round,
0:17:55 > 0:17:57the pair we have to say goodbye to with their high score of 180...
0:17:57 > 0:18:00I'm sorry, Tommy. That was harsh, that,
0:18:00 > 0:18:04but it is you, I'm afraid, we have to send home at this stage, but we'll see you again next time.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Look forward to that very much.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Meantime, thanks very much for playing, Tommy and Will.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10APPLAUSE
0:18:11 > 0:18:14But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22And so, look, we're down to three pairs - very exciting indeed.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Well done, Martyn. Oak, best score of that round, so that was fantastic.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Well done on the far podium - phewee!
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Just made it through.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Our category for Round Two this afternoon is going to be...
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50OK, and the question is all about...
0:18:53 > 0:18:552010s TV Comedy, Richard.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Yeah, in a moment, Xander's going to show you the names of five recent TV comedy programmes.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03We're looking for the name of anyone who's appeared in any of these shows.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05So anyone who's credited with appearing in any of these shows,
0:19:05 > 0:19:07according to IMDB. Very best of luck.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11OK. So, as Richard's just said, we're going to put the names of some TV comedies up there.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14They'll stay up for the whole round. We won't be changing halfway through the round.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Let's reveal the comedies. Here they are...
0:19:29 > 0:19:31There we are.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Martyn.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34OK. So...
0:19:36 > 0:19:39I'm going to go with Car Share.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43There was one episode where one of The League Of Gentlemen was in it,
0:19:43 > 0:19:45and his name is Reece Shearsmith.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Reece Shearsmith, says, Martyn.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Let's see how many of our 100 people said Reece Shearsmith.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59Good answer, Martyn.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Look at that - down to 1!
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Fabulous.
0:20:03 > 0:20:041 for Reece Shearsmith.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12That's very well played, Martyn. Dragged that from somewhere. Yeah, he was in Car Share.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15He was also in two episodes of House Of Fools, as well, Reece Shearsmith. Wonderful...
0:20:15 > 0:20:18There's some amazing actors on this list and he is...
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- He is one of them.- He is brilliant, isn't it?
0:20:20 > 0:20:21- Sam.- OK.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- Sam.- I'm aware of some of these, but I haven't seen any of them.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- Ah, OK.- So, they're going to be obvious answers
0:20:27 > 0:20:28that I'm coming out with.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31But for Still Open All Hours,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34I know that Johnny Vegas was in it.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Johnny Vegas, let's see.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Is that right? How many of our 100 people said Johnny Vegas?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42It's right!
0:20:42 > 0:20:431 is our only score so far.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Look at that, 2!- Wow! - Very well done indeed.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Not bad at all, Sam.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Yeah, he is indeed in Still Open All Hours.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59He is also in House Of Fools, funnily enough, Johnny Vegas.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01That Still Open All Hours...
0:21:01 > 0:21:04I think people complain when the BBC bring things back -
0:21:04 > 0:21:07huge, massive hit. Absolutely enormous ratings hit.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Interesting. Now, Junaid.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- Yeah.- Junaid.- I've got quite a lot of pressure now.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16To redeem myself for the last question,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19I'm going to go for one from W1A, which I'm sure of.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22And I think Sara Pascoe played a PR type in that.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24OK, you're going to go for Sara Pascoe.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said Sara Pascoe.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32It's right.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Well, 2 is our high score, 1 is our low...
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Sara Pascoe...
0:21:37 > 0:21:40That's a great one! Very well done indeed, Junaid.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41That is a pointless answer.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46It adds £250 to today's jackpot and takes the total up to £1,250.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50It scores you nothing and completely redeems you from the last round,
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- so very well done. - Brilliant work, Junaid.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Very well played. And Sara Pascoe, who's wonderful, now joins a very,
0:21:55 > 0:21:59very elite group of people who have been a pointless answer and won
0:21:59 > 0:22:03- a Pointless trophy. Not many of them around.- No, not many indeed. Thank you, Richard.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06We're halfway through the round, so let's look at those scores.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Nothing is the best score of the round, Junaid. Very well done.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Well, who knows what's going to happen in the next round? Because the scores...
0:22:12 > 0:22:14It's a pretty tight group there.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16We travel up to 1, where we find Martyn and Shirley.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19And then we travel up to our high scorers, Sam and...
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Nadia, you're going to have to find a really low-scoring answer
0:22:21 > 0:22:23in the next round.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Good luck. I mean, you are our high scorers, ridiculously enough,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27with that brilliant low score from Sam.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37OK, Jonathan, remember, we're looking for anyone credited with
0:22:37 > 0:22:41at least one appearance in any of these sitcoms.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45I've got someone in my head who's on a TV programme,
0:22:45 > 0:22:47but I don't know if it's one of these.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50It's a start, Jonathan.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52I might be completely wrong here.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55But with Car Share, I'm going to go for Adele.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Adele.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58OK, let's find out.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00A couple of tuts from the audience.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03I don't know if that's approval or...
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Here is your red line.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07If you can get below that, you are into the...
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Let's just see if it's right. Adele. How many of our 100 people said Adele?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Bad luck, Jonathan. Bad luck. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer
0:23:18 > 0:23:21and scores you 100 points.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Yeah, I think you're thinking of James Corden's Carpool Karaoke,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27which she has been on, but not Car Share.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29The scoring is crazy in this round.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Isn't it?- A bit of fun.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Thank you, Richard. Nadia.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Yeah... I literally have never seen any of them.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I don't even know what the bottom two are.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40So I'm going to say...
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Oh, I'm not even sure HE was in it.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45But who?
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Well, I'm assuming that David Jason was in Still Open All Hours.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- OK, well...- It would be a bit weird without him.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- I've said that now, so that's my answer.- That's your answer. It would be weird without him.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Surely, David Jason. There's your red line. Can you get below that red line with David Jason?
0:24:03 > 0:24:07It's right and you're through. Very well done indeed, Nadia.
0:24:07 > 0:24:0858 for David Jason.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Good enough, taking your total up to a nice round 60. Very well done.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15He is now the proprietor of the corner shop.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Obviously, he used to be the delivery boy.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Thanks very much, Richard.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- Shirley.- Hi.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Shirley. You're not completely out of the woods -
0:24:23 > 0:24:27you have to score 98 or less to be in the head-to-head round.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30You've seen some of these, haven't you?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- Er, yes.- Good.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36I am going to go Car Share and I really hope
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- that it was Peter Kay in Car Share. - Peter Kay, says Shirley.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Peter Kay...
0:24:42 > 0:24:46There is your red line. You have to get below that with Peter Kay. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50It's right and you're through.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Wow!
0:24:54 > 0:24:5531 for Peter Kay.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Not a bad answer at all, taking your total up to 32.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Yeah, wrote in and starred. That was a round of two halves.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05The first round, 2, 1 and 0.
0:25:05 > 0:25:11The second round - wrong answer and the two biggest answers on the board, Peter Kay and David Jason.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Now, loads and loads of pointless answers. Loads of great actors in here.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17For W1A, Carol Vorderman appeared as herself.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20She starred... Rufus Jones, who was the TV producer in it,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22came up with Britain's Tastiest Village
0:25:22 > 0:25:24and Carol was scheduled to host it.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Celia Imrie, who was in Vicious.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Elizabeth Berrington, who was in W1A, is a pointless answer.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31One of the big stars of that.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Gareth Hale... Also been on the show, hasn't he?
0:25:33 > 0:25:35He's in Still Open All Hours.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36The brilliant Jason Watkins.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Jenni Murray, who plays herself on W1A.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Jason Watkins is in W1A as well.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Paula Wilcox is in Still Open All Hours.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Sally Lindsay is in Still Open All Hours as well.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Sally Phillips is in House Of Fools. Loads of other pointless answers.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Barry Elliott, who we know better as one half of the Chuckle Brothers -
0:25:52 > 0:25:55he's a pointless answer. Dan Renton Skinner is a pointless answer.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Salman Rushdie, who played himself, he's a pointless answer.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Simon Farnaby, Simon Green or Tom Davis -
0:25:59 > 0:26:01loads and loads of pointless answers there.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04We'll take a look at the top three. We've already heard the top two.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05But in third place...
0:26:07 > 0:26:10..it was Ian McKellen who, of course, stars in Vicious.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12And then we've seen Peter Kay...
0:26:12 > 0:26:14and David Jason up at the top.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Thank you very much, Richard. So, we are at the end of our second round
0:26:17 > 0:26:20and I'm sorry to say the pair we have to say goodbye to on that far podium...
0:26:20 > 0:26:22They won us a pointless answer there,
0:26:22 > 0:26:23added some money to the jackpot,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26which was an incredibly selfless thing to do, Junaid,
0:26:26 > 0:26:30particularly when Jonathan was then going to take you so promptly back to Hospitality. But...
0:26:30 > 0:26:33it's been great having you on. We'll look forward to seeing you again.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- BOTH:- Thank you.- Meantime, thanks very much! Jonathan and Junaid.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41But, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Congratulations, Martyn and Shirley, Nadia and Sam.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our
0:26:51 > 0:26:55jackpot, which is now standing at £1,250.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Well, you know what happens from this point on.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03You can start playing as teams, which is great.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05You can confer before you give your answers.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08The first player to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Here is your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Sporting Politicians, Richard.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26I'm going to show you five images now of politicians playing sport.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Can you identify the politicians, please?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five politicians playing sport, and here they come...
0:27:32 > 0:27:34We have got...
0:27:55 > 0:27:59There we are. Five politicians playing sport.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Martyn and Shirley, you've been our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Feel free to confer.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06THEY CONFER
0:28:09 > 0:28:14- Yeah.- OK.- We are going to go with E,
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- Francois Hollande. - Francois Hollande for E.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Now then, Nadia and Sam, do you want to talk us through this board?
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Identify these politicians.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25We know one. We're just going to have to go for A.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- Yeah.- Yeah. And just hope that the next round...
0:28:28 > 0:28:30- Is better.- ..is better. So, yeah. - What would you like to say for A?
0:28:30 > 0:28:32- Margaret Thatcher. - Margaret Thatcher for A.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35So, we have Francois Hollande and we have Margaret Thatcher.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37So, Martyn and Shirley went for Francois Hollande.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:28:49 > 0:28:5032 for Francois Hollande.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56Nadia and Sam, meanwhile, have said Margaret Thatcher for A.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57Let's see if that's right.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Let's see how many of our 100 people said Margaret Thatcher.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05It is Margaret Thatcher.
0:29:05 > 0:29:0687 - there we are.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Well done. Martyn and Shirley, all going very well for you.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Yeah, now, let's have a look through the rest of these.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Now, B is a very interesting fella,
0:29:17 > 0:29:19recently appointed Prime Minister of Canada.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22A really, really interesting bright guy called Justin Trudeau,
0:29:22 > 0:29:24is his name - would have scored you three points.
0:29:24 > 0:29:25It would've been a terrific answer.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27- Now, C...- Oh...
0:29:27 > 0:29:28- Harold Wilson.- Harold Wilson.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32But I'm just enjoying... I mean, look at the beautiful period detail.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33Look at those glasses there!
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Lovely, right? 62 points for him.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38D is Condoleezza Rice.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41She's not happy with that shot at all, is she?
0:29:41 > 0:29:43You know what? I wouldn't be happy
0:29:43 > 0:29:45- with that position at the top of my backswing.- Yeah.- So, you know,
0:29:45 > 0:29:47the shot is bad because she's played it badly.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50- Yeah.- You know, I think she needs to keep her left arm
0:29:50 > 0:29:52slightly more rigid.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54- Yeah.- Seven points for Condoleezza Rice.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Of course, that's a double bogey.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58And...
0:29:58 > 0:30:00And there's Francois Hollande.
0:30:00 > 0:30:01There he is.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Thanks very much indeed. Here comes your second question.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Nadia and Sam, you get to answer it first,
0:30:05 > 0:30:08but you have to win this one to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Our second question today is all about...
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Fictional Insects And Creepy-Crawlies, Richard.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18I'm going to show you five clues now to questions relating to
0:30:18 > 0:30:21fictional insects and creepy-crawlies. Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Here come the clues. We've got...
0:30:47 > 0:30:48I'll read those all again.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Now then, Nadia and Sam.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14- Flik is A Bug's Life. - Is it definitely?
0:31:14 > 0:31:18Apparently, Flik and his girlfriend are in...
0:31:18 > 0:31:19- Are the stars of...- A Bug's Life.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22- ..A Bug's Life. Yeah.- Nadia and Sam, going for A Bug's Life.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Now, Martyn and Shirley.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27We're not sure on any of them.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29I mean, the top one might be The Fly.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Um, the bottom one...
0:31:31 > 0:31:32Is there a giant spider in it?
0:31:32 > 0:31:34We're not sure.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35But if it's a fable and it's a Greek author,
0:31:35 > 0:31:39then we think it may be Aesop, or however you pronounce it.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- So, shall we go with that one? - Mm.- Yeah. Aesop.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43You're going to go for Aesop.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46OK, so, we have A Bug's Life and we have Aesop.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50Sam and Nadia went for A Bug's Life. Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Ooh, that's a good score. Down it goes.
0:31:59 > 0:32:00Look, 18 for A Bug's Life.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05That's what we needed. Let's hope that's good enough to keep you in the game.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Martyn and Shirley, meanwhile, have gone for Aesop.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14It is right.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17Ooh, it's going to be...
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Oh, 29. 29 for Aesop.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Again, not bad, but Sam and Nadia back in the game.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Well done. After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Very well done. After writing fables,
0:32:28 > 0:32:31he retired to run a cafe, which he called it Aesop's Tea Shop.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Er, now, the top answer is the best answer on the board.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38- The Kafka novella...- Metamorphosis.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40..is The Metamorphosis, yeah.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Eight points for that.
0:32:42 > 0:32:43The talking cricket is...
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- Jiminy Cricket. - Would've scored 50 points.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49And you're right, The Lord Of The Rings, it was a spider.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52The spider would have scored you 22 points.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54So Metamorphosis, the best answer on the board.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Thanks very much. OK, so it comes down to a third question.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Whoever wins this one goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01So, best of luck to both pairs.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Our third question today is all about...
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Things Found In A Hair Salon, Richard.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Yeah, a list of five things now you might find in a hair salon,
0:33:10 > 0:33:13but in anagram form, I'm afraid.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Can you unscramble them and find a way to get through to the final?
0:33:16 > 0:33:19OK, let's reveal our five anagrams, and here they come.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21We've got...
0:33:35 > 0:33:37And Martyn and Shirley will go first.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44OK. I think there's two or three we know,
0:33:44 > 0:33:47but we're going to go with the penultimate one,
0:33:47 > 0:33:49which we think is a hood dryer.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53A hood dryer, say Martyn and Shirley.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Now then, Sam and Nadia, can you talk us through the board?
0:33:56 > 0:34:00The top one's curling tongs
0:34:00 > 0:34:02and the bottom one is brushes.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05And that's sort of as far as we've got so far!
0:34:05 > 0:34:07What do you think? Do you want to go with curling tongs?
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- Yeah, we'll go curling tongs. - You're going to go curling tongs?
0:34:10 > 0:34:13So, we have hood dryer and curling tongs.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17Martyn and Shirley went for hood dryer. Let's see if it's right and see how many people said it.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20It is right.
0:34:25 > 0:34:2725 for hood dryer.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34Meanwhile, Nadia and Sam have gone for curling tongs at the top - "cut ring longs".
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said curling tongs.
0:34:40 > 0:34:41It's right.
0:34:43 > 0:34:4465.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Very well done. Martyn and Shirley, after three questions,
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- you're through to the final, 2-1. - Very well played.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54There's a couple of answers, actually, there that would have won you the point. Not the bottom one.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56You knew brushes - would have been too big a scorer, though.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58Would have scored you 47 points.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00But the best two answers are these other two.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01- The second one down...- Hair dye.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03- It's hair dye.- Ah!
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- And that would have scored 21. - Tactically, probably a good one,
0:35:05 > 0:35:09- because some people might've thought "hair dryer" and just moved on. - Oh, yes.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11This last one is the best answer on the board.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14- It's the first one I got, weirdly, which is not often the case. - Ah, I've only just got it.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16- Conditioner.- Yeah.- Oh!
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Conditioner would have scored you six points.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21There we are. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round - I'm afraid it's Nadia and Sam.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27But it's good news really, cos it means we get to see you next time,
0:35:27 > 0:35:31otherwise it would've just been one bite at the Pointless cherry and that wouldn't have been enough.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- Meantime, thanks very much for playing, Nadia and Sam.- Thank you!
0:35:34 > 0:35:35Well done.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40But, for Martyn and Shirley, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Congratulations, Martyn and Shirley.
0:35:46 > 0:35:47You've seen off the competition
0:35:47 > 0:35:50and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58- Yes!- Yes!- You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:58 > 0:36:03At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,250.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04Well, very well done indeed.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- Thank you.- Last time... You've gone from zero to hero - what about that?
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- Yeah.- Fabulous. Anything you're burning for us to ask you
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- in this last round?- Oh, tennis?
0:36:13 > 0:36:16Sport is one I think we're both quite strong on.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Rivers running through capital cities...
0:36:19 > 0:36:21All of these would be great.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Well, very best of luck. Let's hope there's something on the board you don't mind the look of.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Today's selection looks like this...
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- Soul Singers would be... - Well, I've been to Argentina twice.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39You have been, and that jumped out at me cos you've been there.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41- Yeah.- I'm happy to go with that.
0:36:41 > 0:36:42- Football? No.- No.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- Short Stories, I'm...- No. Literature.- Soul Singers...
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- OK, Argentina.- Argentina?- OK. - Argentina it is.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51OK, three very different questions here. Very best of luck.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53We are looking for...
0:36:54 > 0:36:56..any Argentinian First Division football team
0:36:56 > 0:36:57in the 2015 season, please.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00The Primera League in Argentina.
0:37:00 > 0:37:06We're looking for any of the cities which are capitals of one of the 23 provinces of Argentina, please.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08And we're looking for any of the songs from Evita.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10So any of the original songs when
0:37:10 > 0:37:13the complete motion picture soundtrack was released.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15So, First Division football teams in 2015.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19The cities of the 23 provinces of Argentina, the capitals.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21And any song from the original release
0:37:21 > 0:37:24of the complete motion picture soundtrack of Evita.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28There we are. OK. Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:28 > 0:37:33and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of your answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:33 > 0:37:34- Yes.- Yeah.- OK, let's put
0:37:34 > 0:37:3560 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39- OK. Do you know any football...? - Football teams.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Well, there's the two big ones, Boca Juniors and River Plate.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44But, you know, we could take stabs at cities - they might have teams -
0:37:44 > 0:37:46- but...- Ushuaia.- Ushuaia.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50- I mean, Cordoba.- Tierra del Fuego. Cordoba, Mendoza.
0:37:50 > 0:37:51Mendoza's a big city.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Puerto Madryn - is that big enough?
0:37:55 > 0:37:56I don't know, it could be.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Evita. I saw it years ago...
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Oh What a Circus - is that...?
0:38:01 > 0:38:05I've no... Don't Cry For Me is the only one I know from...
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- Yeah, I think that's a famous one, though, as well.- From Evita.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- I think if we go... - I think it's right, yeah.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12I think we'll probably go capital cities
0:38:12 > 0:38:14- more than any of the others, do you think?- Yeah, yeah, OK.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16- Ushuaia.- Cordoba and Mendoza?
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Cordoba and Mendoza.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20I can't think of any others in football.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Yeah, Evita. It's 20 years since I saw it on the stage and...
0:38:23 > 0:38:25And the only one we know really is going to be...
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- quite highly scored. - Ten seconds left.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- Yeah.- OK, we'll go with those three from the middle category, I guess?
0:38:30 > 0:38:33- Yeah.- OK, you're happy with that? - Yeah.- We can stop the clock there.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35It sounds like you've reached your three answers.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Tell me what they are and which category you're answering.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42We're going to go with cities and that would be Ushuaia.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44- Ushuaia.- Mendoza.
0:38:44 > 0:38:45- Mendoza.- Cordoba.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- And Cordoba.- And Cordoba.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49OK, of those three, do you think there's one that's more likely
0:38:49 > 0:38:52- than any others to be pointless? - Probably Ushuaia.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Ushuaia we'll put last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:55 > 0:38:57- Cordoba?- Cordoba. - Cordoba we'll put first.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then. And here they are...
0:39:00 > 0:39:02We have got...
0:39:06 > 0:39:07Well, very best of luck.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11We've managed to get the jackpot up from the bare 1,000 up to 1,250,
0:39:11 > 0:39:14which is exciting. What would you do if one of these answers wins that
0:39:14 > 0:39:16jackpot for you? What would you do with the cash?
0:39:16 > 0:39:20I think with my share I would join Shirley's tennis club through
0:39:20 > 0:39:22- the summer, April... - Get some lessons.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25- Well...- Get some lessons, Martyn. - I'm a tennis widower from April to September.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29I see you once, twice a week, maybe? So, yeah, that would be...
0:39:29 > 0:39:32There we are. Shirley, anything else you'd like to do with that?
0:39:32 > 0:39:35I'd probably put it towards travel.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36We really want to go to India,
0:39:36 > 0:39:40so I'd put it towards the Indian travel fund.
0:39:40 > 0:39:41Excellent. Well, very best of luck.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Three perfectly good-sounding answers - what do I know?
0:39:44 > 0:39:46But they sound great.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Let's find out if they're right.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Cordoba was your first answer.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Obviously, it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56So, for £1,250, let's see how many of our 100 people went for Cordoba.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00It's right.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03If this goes all the way down to zero,
0:40:03 > 0:40:05you will be leaving here with £1,250.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Down we go, through the 20s.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Cordoba taking us through the teens, into single figures.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10Still going down, still...
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Oh, three for Cordoba!
0:40:12 > 0:40:13Oh, that's good.
0:40:14 > 0:40:15Good start.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17That's a very promising start.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Only two more shots left at today's jackpot.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Your next answer was Mendoza.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Again, it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28No good it stopping on any of those numbers.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30It has to go down to zero.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33For £1,250, let's see how many people said Mendoza.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38It's right.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Cordoba, your first answer,
0:40:40 > 0:40:42took us all the way down to three.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Mendoza now taking us through the 20s,
0:40:44 > 0:40:46into the teens and into single figures.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Down it goes, still going down,
0:40:48 > 0:40:50passes three... You've done it!
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Very well done indeed.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Superb.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57- Thank you!- Very good stuff. Brilliant!
0:41:01 > 0:41:02Fantastic!
0:41:04 > 0:41:08That India fund looking quite healthy, I'd say, at this point.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10And your summer as well, Martyn.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12- Yes!- Very good! Work on that backhand.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Congratulations. Mendoza was a pointless answer,
0:41:14 > 0:41:18which means you go away with that jackpot of £1,250. Brilliant!
0:41:22 > 0:41:26That was brilliant, Martyn and Shirley. Very well played. So much nicer than last time!
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- It was indeed, yeah.- And a lovely final category to come up, as well.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33- Ushuaia, also a pointless answer. - Yes!- So very well done.- Amazing.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35It is.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Let's take a look at the pointless answers now.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43So, for First Division football, you could have had Argentinos Juniors.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Arsenal, you could have had. They probably pronounce it differently.
0:41:46 > 0:41:47Huracan, Racing Club.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51You could have had Newell's Old Boys, Velez Sarsfield - all sorts of big Argentinian teams.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54The only teams that scored any points at all were River Plate and Boca Juniors -
0:41:54 > 0:41:55who you were going to mention -
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Estudiantes, Godoy Cruz and Independiente.
0:41:58 > 0:42:03Everyone else was a pointless answer in the Argentinian Primeira Liga.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05The cities that are capitals now.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Corrientes. You could have had La Rioja,
0:42:08 > 0:42:11which is capital of the Rioja region.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Mendoza. Resistencia.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17Again, everything a pointless answer there apart from Cordoba, Santa Fe,
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Salta, La Plata and Posadas.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23Everything else was a pointless answer, so very well done if you said any of the other cities.
0:42:23 > 0:42:24And songs from Evita...
0:42:31 > 0:42:32All of those pointless answers.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35The big scorers there - Don't Cry For Me Argentina.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Oh What A Circus, which you were thinking of, would have scored you five.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Another Suitcase In Another Hall, You Must Love Me,
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Rainbow High and Requiem For Evita.
0:42:42 > 0:42:43Everything else was a pointless answer.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46- Terrific show, terrific winners. Congratulations.- BOTH:- Thank you.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Well, thanks once again to our winning players, Martyn and Shirley,
0:42:52 > 0:42:56who go away with today's jackpot of £1,250.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58APPLAUSE
0:42:58 > 0:43:02Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
