0:00:14 > 0:00:18CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Let's meet today's players.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31APPLAUSE
0:00:33 > 0:00:34And couple number one...
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Hi, Xander, my name is Matt, this is my long-term friend, Jonny,
0:00:37 > 0:00:39and we're from Washington in Tyne and Wear.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- Couple number two... - Hi, Xander, my name's Ansel.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44This is my sister, Alethea, and we're from London.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Couple number three...
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Siobhan, this is my dad, Roy,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49and we're from Angmering in West Sussex.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50And finally, couple number four...
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Maria, I'm from Bexley in Kent and this is my lovely cousin,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Jeannette, she's from Berwick in East Sussex.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03A warm welcome to the show,
0:01:03 > 0:01:05we'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Of all the food groups,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12he insists his favourite is probably Bananarama.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- APPLAUSE - Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22- How are you?- I'm very well.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23That's good, you look very well.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Well, thank you.- Now... Oh, don't return the compliment!
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Now, we've given away the jackpot... - No, but you-you ploughed on!
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- You're looking very well as well. Oh, I got in there! - Oh, God, stop it!
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- I got in there!- We've given away the jackpot three days in a row.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36- I know.- Amazing, isn't it?
0:01:36 > 0:01:37We keep giving it away.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Only one returning pair from that last show and that's Roy and Siobhan.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- They were on podium one last time... - Mm.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44..got knocked out in Round One as well.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Siobhan mixed up John McEnroe and Michael McIntyre
0:01:47 > 0:01:49and gave us John McIntyre.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Which is... It's an interesting celebrity hybrid.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53If we did celebrity hybrids, it would be a perfect answer.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57But I suspect they've got a lot more in the locker, I think.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Welcome to our three new pairs as well.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Somebody here teaches at my old sixth-form college.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03- That's nice.- That is nice.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07So I'll do just literally a 20-minute chat about that some time during Round One.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Lovely. Lovely. Thank you, Richard.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10Well, as you'll have gathered,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Nadia and Sam won the jackpot last time,
0:02:12 > 0:02:14so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18There we are. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20APPLAUSE
0:02:23 > 0:02:26So, remember, the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:26 > 0:02:28will be eliminated.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Europe. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39who's going to go second.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50OK, and our European question concerns...
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Countries of the EU. Richard.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57We're going to give you seven clues on each board to countries that are
0:02:57 > 0:02:58members of the European Union,
0:02:58 > 0:03:00you just need to give us the most obscure answer you can.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03There'll be 14 in all to have a go at at home.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07So, we are looking for the European countries
0:03:07 > 0:03:08described by these clues.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Here's our first board.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11We have...
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13There we are. Jonny.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14A warm welcome to Pointless.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Good to have you here. From Liverpool, but...
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Yeah, so originally from Washington, I currently work in Liverpool.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- There we are. And what do you do in Liverpool?- I'm a civil servant.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24OK, there we are.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27What do you like getting up to when your civil servant work is done?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I like to play sports, whether it be football...
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I used to play cricket, tennis, golf... Any sport, really.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35I'm a big Sunderland fan, as it goes,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37so I try and get to as many home and away games as I can.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I have to say, Europe's going to be difficult for you, that'd be...
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Yeah, wouldn't know much about that!
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Wouldn't know much about that, no, no.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Jonny... We turn our attention to the EU.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- Yes. - ALEXANDER INHALES DEEPLY
0:04:49 > 0:04:51How are we feeling about this board of clues?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54When it first came up with countries in the European Union, I thought it
0:04:54 > 0:04:56might be quite good, but with the clues,
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I'm not too sure on most of them.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Yeah.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02But, yeah, if I was going to go for one, it would be,
0:05:02 > 0:05:06"Joined the Five Nations rugby union tournament" and it would be Italy.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Italy, says Jonny.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Let's see how many of our 100 people said Italy in the Six Nations.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Look at that. Down it goes.
0:05:17 > 0:05:1852, not bad at all, Jonny.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Not bad. Gets us off to a good start.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Yeah, joined the EU in 1958, Italy.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Florence Nightingale was born there.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28I don't know which city, but she was born there.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- I didn't know that.- Yeah.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- Yeah.- Yeah. - ALEXANDER AND RICHARD LAUGH
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- I've got it now. - That's a really good one, isn't it?
0:05:34 > 0:05:35- Oh, that's good.- Yeah.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Rome, maybe, she was born in. I don't know.- I don't know.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39- Maybe Bologna.- Oh!
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Oh, there we go.- Thank you, Richard.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42- Such a pleasure. - Listen, there we go.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Alethea, welcome.- Hello. - Great to have you here.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46Alethea, what do you do?
0:05:46 > 0:05:51I work as a project controller for a management consulting firm.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53You work with...with clients?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56I work with clients, reporting mainly is my main role.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Reporting and advising.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Now, Alethea, what are your hobbies?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02I like to play golf, I like to dance,
0:06:02 > 0:06:06I like to go out, eat food and drink, socialise.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Pretty much live a very active life.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Excellent. Now, Alethea,
0:06:09 > 0:06:13how ecstatic were you about this European Union question?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- I know countries in the European Union...- Yeah.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17..and then I saw the clues and I went, "Uh-oh,"
0:06:17 > 0:06:21and I was going to go for the rugby one, cos I knew that one.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25I'm going to take a stab in the dark and go with the second one
0:06:25 > 0:06:28and say Czech Republic?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30You're going to say the Czech Republic.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Second one down. Let's see if that's right,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34let's see how many of our 100 people said Czech Republic.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Oh, I'm sorry, Alethea,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41not the Czech Republic for that one, I'm afraid.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Scores you 100 points.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Sorry, Alethea,
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the pass.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Thanks very much, Richard.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Roy, welcome back.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- Hi.- Roy, remind us what you do.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Yeah, I work for a research and scientific publishing company.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59That's right. So, you're publishing large textbooks, science textbooks?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Textbooks, academic journals,
0:07:01 > 0:07:03research papers, very intelligent people.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08See, that's quite fun, isn't it? Very erudite company you must keep.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09- HE CHUCKLES - They are!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I'm not so sure about me, but they're very erudite.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14We should do a textbook, don't you think?
0:07:14 > 0:07:15- I think we should. - A Pointless textbook.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Given this is where people get an awful lot of their information about science, for example.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- It's not a bad idea, actually. - And geography.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Yeah.- GCSE Chemistry, you and I, thumbs up on the cover.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28That's nice. If only we knew an academic publisher who could help us out.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- Yeah, I can do that.- There we go.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- It'd be brilliant, that. - It would be amazing.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36A friend of mine, who's doing his PGCE...
0:07:36 > 0:07:41Pointless was held up as a perfect tool for teaching.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Really?- Yeah.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46So, they held up a picture of you and said, "This is a perfect tool"?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Yeah. LAUGHTER
0:07:49 > 0:07:51For... For teaching.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- It's a really good idea. - It's not bad, is it?
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Listen, Roy, we'll chat.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Sure.- We'll chat.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Roy, what would you like to go for on our board?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Well, uh... Yep, I've got a few here.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Um... I think I'm going to go for the third one down,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07"Separated from Slovakia" and I think that is the Czech Republic.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Czech Republic, says Roy.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16It is the Czech Republic.
0:08:19 > 0:08:2146. APPLAUSE
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Our new low score.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Well played, Roy, terrific answer.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Yeah, they're the biggest beer drinkers in the world, the Czechs.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29Number one nation.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- For beer.- Just ahead of another nation I won't mention in case they're on the next board.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34- Thank you.- Pleasure.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Now, Jeannette, welcome to Pointless.- Hi.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Good to have you here. What do you do, Jeanette?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- I'm a teacher.- What do you teach?
0:08:40 > 0:08:41I teach English.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Oh, I thought you were going to say geography then.- No, I wish I did.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Ah! You teach it to whom? To what sort of age?
0:08:47 > 0:08:51I teach at a sixth-form college in Haywards Heath.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- See, you remembered! - ALEXANDER GIBBERS
0:08:53 > 0:08:55You'd literally already forgotten, hadn't you?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I was still trying to work out Florence Nightingale.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00LAUGHTER My brain...
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- Oh...- It used to be called Haywards Sixth Form College, not any more.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05What do they call it now?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07It's called the Richard Osman Memorial School.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10No, it's not. What's it called now? Something weird, isn't it?
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- Central Mid Sussex.- Central Mid Sussex, that's really central.- Mm.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16That's like saying Mid Sussex isn't central enough.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18No, CENTRAL Mid Sussex.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Central, wow(!)- Wow.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Jeannette, how fantastic.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Great to have you here. What would you like to go for on this board?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26This board is all yours now.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- You can go through it and help yourself.- I would love to.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32I'm afraid this isn't a great board for me.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37But... I'm going to have to guess...
0:09:37 > 0:09:41And I might have to guess at the top one, um....
0:09:41 > 0:09:45and take a punt at Belgium.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- Belgium.- I know.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48- That sounds right, doesn't it? - Does it?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- I think Belgium...- Mm. - Belgium, is that right?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54How many of our 100 people said Belgium for Waterloo?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57It's right. MARIA GASPS
0:09:58 > 0:10:02There we are. 46 is our lowest score until now.
0:10:02 > 0:10:0432 is our new low score.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Very well done indeed, Jeannette. - Very well played, Jeannette,
0:10:06 > 0:10:10and thank you as well, cos normally when people come on from my old schools,
0:10:10 > 0:10:11they do terribly, don't they?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- We've had a run of absolute shockers.- Don't speak too soon!
0:10:13 > 0:10:14No, but that's great.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- As long as you've got one right, you've done better than any of them. - OK, that's true. I'm happy.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Waterloo, it's actually... It's in central mid Belgium, Waterloo.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- Right in the middle. - Shall we go through the board? Let's take a look at this.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Became a republic in 1973 with the abolition of the Monarchy...
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- Was Greece.- Yes.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Greece. Five points for Greece.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Fought a civil war between 1936 and 1939...
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Was Spain. 40 points for that.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Its borders encompass over 400 named islands, do you know that one?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- That is Denmark. - It is Denmark, yeah.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Five points for that. And partitioned for 123 years...
0:10:48 > 0:10:49- Poland.- Ah.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Poland, the answer to that one. 21 points.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54The best answer on the board, joint best answers, Greece and Denmark.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- It's a tough board. - It is a tough board.- Tough board.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Thank you. We're halfway through the round,
0:10:58 > 0:11:00so let's look at those scores. 32, Jeannette, well done.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- Thanks.- Best score of that pass.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Then we travel up to 46, where we find Roy and Siobhan.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Up to 52, where we find Jonny and Matt.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09And then up to 100, where we find Alethea and Ansel.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Listen, Ansel,
0:11:10 > 0:11:12anything could happen in the next pass.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15A low score from you, though... might keep you in the game.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17So, best of luck with that.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18We'll come back down the line now.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board, and here they are.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29We have got...
0:11:56 > 0:11:58I'm going to read those again.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Maria.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25- Hello.- Welcome to Pointless.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Lovely to have you here. What do you do, Maria?
0:12:27 > 0:12:31I'm an account manager for a large professional services firm,
0:12:31 > 0:12:32the largest in the world.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Does that mean you travel to other parts of the world to talk to other professional service people?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- I have done in the past. Not so much these days.- I see.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Maybe you travel around the EU.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Not as much as I wished.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Does this board please you?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- No!- Oh, I'm sorry.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51But it's pretty colours.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53There you are. Exactly.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Richard spent the weekend putting these blue lights up.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Thank you, finally, for somebody appreciating that as well because...
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- No, good job.- It was originally very monochrome, wasn't it? - I'm really enjoying the colours.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Um, I'm going to go for...
0:13:04 > 0:13:08And I don't know if this is right, so I'm having a bit of a guess.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10"A major part of the area named 'Gaul' by the Romans,
0:13:10 > 0:13:14"it is the largest country in the EU by land area" - the Netherlands.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18The Netherlands. OK. The Netherlands.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20There is your red line.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21You want to be scoring 67 or less.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24If you get below that with the Netherlands, you are through to the next round.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26How many people said the Netherlands?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Oh, I'm sorry, Maria.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33That may well not be the last 100 points of this pass.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36That takes your total up to 132.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Not the Netherlands, I'm afraid, Maria.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the pass.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41Thanks very much, Richard.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- Siobhan, welcome back.- Hello.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Remind us what you do, Siobhan.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I'm on my gap year at the moment.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50That is right, hoping to go on to university at Nottingham,
0:13:50 > 0:13:51we discovered.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Yes.- So what have you been doing with your year off
0:13:54 > 0:13:55and what are you continuing?
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Well, I work at a shoe shop...
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Um, that's mostly during the week.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03I'm also training for a half marathon.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04- Oh, good luck.- Yeah, thank you.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Good luck. Now, Siobhan, 46 is your score.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11- OK.- 85 or less gets you through.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13OK.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Not fantastic...
0:14:15 > 0:14:18but I'm going to have a punt at
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Jean-Claude Juncker
0:14:20 > 0:14:24as Prime Minister...as France?
0:14:24 > 0:14:25OK, you're going to go for France.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28There is your red line.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30You have to get below that to get through to the next round.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Let's see if that's right,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34let's see how many of our 100 people went for France.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39No, I'm afraid not France, Siobhan.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Phew-ee on the far podium over there.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Maria and Jeannette are now into the next round.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45You are our new high-scorers on 146,
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- but again, may not be the last 100 points of the round.- Absolutely.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Sorry, Siobhan. It's like a big jigsaw of wrong, so far, this round.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53- Isn't it?- Yeah.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Yes. Thank you, Richard. Now, Ansel.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02Oh, oh, you've been handed a reprieve by your neighbours there.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03- Yeah!- Ansel, what do you do?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07I'm a clinical physiologist at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Excellent. How long have you done that for?
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Just under two years now.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11Right. Very good indeed.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14And what do you like getting up to when you're not working?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I really like keeping fit, playing lots of sport,
0:15:16 > 0:15:17such as football, cricket.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Really got into cycling recently,
0:15:19 > 0:15:21and last year I did the Ride London Sportive,
0:15:21 > 0:15:22which is a 100-mile road route
0:15:22 > 0:15:25around the Olympic route they did in 2012.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Wow. How long did it take you?
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Just under six hours.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- That's not bad, not bad at all. - Not bad.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Now, Ansel, you have to score 45 or less.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Yeah. It's a tough board.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38To be honest, I would have rather had the first one.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- I actually knew a few of those answers.- Yeah.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Um...
0:15:42 > 0:15:45I'm going to have a punt at the last one
0:15:45 > 0:15:47and I'm going to go with Germany.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Germany, says Ansel. Germany.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Now, here is your red line.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52You want to get below that red line
0:15:52 > 0:15:54to be sure of a place in the next round.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Let's see how many of our 100 people said Germany.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01It's right.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06AUDIENCE GROANS 50 for Germany.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08150 is your...
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Oh, it's very close suddenly, all of these scores.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Roy and Siobhan, phew, you're in Round Two.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- Very well done.- Sorry, Ansel, the first correct answer of the pass.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Joined in 1990. That was back in the day when we were tearing walls down
0:16:20 > 0:16:22rather than putting them up, wasn't it?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Yes, indeed. Thank you, Richard.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26- Now, Matt, welcome.- Hello.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Good to have you here. Also from the north-east.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- It's good to be here. - What do you do, Matt?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33I'm currently a Masters student in mechanical engineering
0:16:33 > 0:16:34at Northumbria University.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Northumbria.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38I'm a Doctor of Literature at Northumbria University.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- Are you?- Yeah. I had to wear a lurid gown in, um...
0:16:42 > 0:16:46I mean, every colour that you wouldn't necessarily want to put on a gown.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47- Really?- Oh, it looked beautiful.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- That's nice.- Yeah.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- It's a beautiful university, Northumbria.- I really enjoy it.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55It means I now have an excuse to go and visit Northumbria University,
0:16:55 > 0:16:56that's what I have.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58That's my perk. RICHARD GROANS
0:16:58 > 0:17:01I wish I had an excuse to go and visit Northumbria University.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- Oh! Damn you, Armstrong.- Uh!
0:17:07 > 0:17:09We'll work on it.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Now, Matt, 52 is your score.
0:17:11 > 0:17:1497 or less gets you through.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Yeah, um...- Do you want to talk us through that board...?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19I think I could have a reasonable guess at all of them,
0:17:19 > 0:17:22but I haven't got a clue whether any of them would actually be right.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- Reasonable guess away, Matt.- Yeah.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Purely because we've already seen Spain and based on the name,
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I'd say the top one would be Portugal.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Um...
0:17:31 > 0:17:34The smallest country - either Luxembourg or Andorra.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Oh, I don't know about the third one, actually.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Um... National language... Iceland maybe?
0:17:40 > 0:17:44But I'm pretty sure I remember watching Asterix as a kid
0:17:44 > 0:17:47and he was from Gaul, if I remember correctly.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I think that might be France.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51- France...for Gaul?- Yes.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- Maybe.- France for Gaul. Here is your red line.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Get below that, you're into Round Two.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58How many of our 100 people said France?
0:18:00 > 0:18:01It's right and you're through.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Very well done, Matt.
0:18:04 > 0:18:0641. Not bad at all.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Taking your total up to 93, the lowest total of the round.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Yeah, absolutely, it is France, the largest country in the EU.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16There are some really hard ones here.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18This is a tough board.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20The former European Commission President -
0:18:20 > 0:18:22you're absolutely right - was Portugal, Barroso.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24That would have scored 19.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Now, the smallest country in the EU by land area -
0:18:27 > 0:18:30you sort of think it is going to be Luxembourg, I think, and it's not.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- It's Malta.- Ah!
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Malta is the answer there and it would have scored you two points.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37But Luxembourg comes up now.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Xavier Bettel and Jean-Claude Juncker,
0:18:39 > 0:18:41both prime ministers of Luxembourg.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42It would have scored you six.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Now, all football fans know this one cos they were the Mighty Magyars,
0:18:45 > 0:18:47and it's Hungary.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49That would have scored you 40 points, another big scorer.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51And it's won the Eurovision Song Contest seven times.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56This is the country that came second to the Czech Republic in the most beer drunk, and it is?
0:18:56 > 0:18:57- Ireland.- Ireland, of course it is.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59That would have scored you 31.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- So Malta is the best answer on that board.- Mm!
0:19:01 > 0:19:03There we are, thank you very much.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07So, at the end of our first round, the pair we have to say goodbye to with their high score of 150,
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Alethea and Ansel, I'm afraid it's you.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10It was very close, though.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Very, very close,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14and you can console yourselves that it was a tough board, that.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15A really tough board.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18But we'll see you again next time and I hope you'll go much further.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Meantime, thanks very much, Ansel and Alethea.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- BOTH:- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:19:24 > 0:19:27But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29APPLAUSE
0:19:32 > 0:19:34And so we're suddenly down to three pairs,
0:19:34 > 0:19:37and at the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38Well, I would say...
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Yes, some mixed answers there, it's fair to say.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Some very good answers and some less good answers.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45But Matt and Jonny, well done.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48The only two to get both answers right,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50so very promising, I'd say, on the near podium.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Pop Music.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going second?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many of...
0:20:17 > 0:20:18..as they could.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Billboard's Greatest Album Artists, Richard.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Yeah, in 2015, the end of 2015, Billboard,
0:20:23 > 0:20:25which is the American charts, essentially,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28published a list of the 100 most successful acts
0:20:28 > 0:20:30in the history of the American album charts.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33That's from 1963 through to 2015.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37So the 100 most successful acts in American album chart history.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39I just need you to name one of those acts, please.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Thanks very much, Richard.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Now then, Jonny.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Yes, you want to marshal your thoughts a little bit for this one.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53I'm trying to think of whether to go for a reasonably new artist
0:20:53 > 0:20:56or whether to just stick with sort of a classic artist.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57Hmm.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Based on that, I think I'll have a go and say the Arctic Monkeys.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03The Arctic Monkeys, says Jonny.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05The Arctic Monkeys. Let's see if that's right.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Let's see how many of our 100 people said the Arctic Monkeys.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Bad luck, Jonny.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I'm afraid an incorrect answer there.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17That scores you 100 points.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Sorry, Jonny. Nowhere near as big in the States as they are over here,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- the Arctic Monkeys. - Thanks very much.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- Now, Siobhan.- Yes.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Hmm.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Um...
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Now that they've got 100, I'm going to play it a little bit safe.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Um...
0:21:33 > 0:21:37And...I'm going to say...
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- ..Rihanna.- Rihanna, says Siobhan.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Let's see how many of our 100 people said Rihanna.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Oh!
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Oh-ee!
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- Not as safe as we thought, old Rihanna there!- OK.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54100 points she scores you.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Yeah, I would have gone for Rihanna, I'm sure.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00And when you see some of the names on the list, very surprising she's not there,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02but more of a singles artist, I guess.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- But, yeah, that's very unlucky. - Yeah. Thank you, Richard.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Well, I have to say, Maria,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- we're learning something with each answer other people give, are we not?- Mm.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Mm!- OK.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15I'm going to go with Fleetwood Mac.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Fleetwood Mac. Surely.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Let's see how many of our 100 people said Fleetwood Mac.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24It's right! Look at that.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Not bad at all! There we go, Maria.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Very well done indeed.
0:22:33 > 0:22:352 for Fleetwood Mac.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Yeah, very well played, Maria, terrific answer.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40And Rumours is the eighth bestselling album in US history -
0:22:40 > 0:22:4220 million copies it sold.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43That'll do. Yeah.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Thanks very much, Richard.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46So, we're about to head back down the line.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Before we do that, let's take a look at those scores.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Only the two scores between the three pairs.
0:22:51 > 0:22:552, Maria and Jeannette, on the far podium, very, very well done.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57And then Siobhan and Roy, and Jonny and Matt, tied on 100.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Best of luck. We'll come back down the line now.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07OK. So, Jeannette, remember,
0:23:07 > 0:23:09we're looking for artists featured in the top 100
0:23:09 > 0:23:12of the Billboard American album chart.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17I'm going to go back in time a little bit and say the Eagles.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19The Eagles, of course!
0:23:19 > 0:23:22The Eagles. Let's find out. Here is your red line, nice and high.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25There it is. Get below that and you're into the head-to-head.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28How many of our 100 people said the Eagles?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32It's right. Very well done...
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- ..with plenty of space to spare. - Oh-ho!
0:23:38 > 0:23:40You join Maria on 2.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Very well done indeed, taking your total up to 4.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45That's brilliant work there on the last podium.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Their Greatest Hits album,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49second biggest-selling album in American chart history.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53They've sold over 100 million albums.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- If you stacked them all up in a pile...- Yes?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57..that would reach Mars.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Yes. Well, it depends where you started, yeah.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03LAUGHTER Well, that's true, yeah.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Good point. Thank you, Richard.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07Now, Roy...
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Yeah, I had the Eagles in my head, but I had a bit of a plan B.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14I'm going to try Led Zeppelin.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Led Zeppelin, says Roy.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Led Zeppelin.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21No red line for you as you're joint high-scorers with Matt and Jonny.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25It's right.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31There we are, 6.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33APPLAUSE
0:24:33 > 0:24:356 for Led Zeppelin,
0:24:35 > 0:24:37taking your total up to 106.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Really good answer, Roy, well done. 111 million albums for Led Zep.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- Whoo!- Neptune...
0:24:43 > 0:24:45That would reach...
0:24:45 > 0:24:47If you started on Pluto, it would reach to Neptune.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Thanks, Richard. Now, Matt.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- Hello.- Matt, you have a target here.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55I've got two in my head...
0:24:55 > 0:24:58I'm thinking more hip-hop sort of artists,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00with it being American based,
0:25:00 > 0:25:04and I think one's less risky, but might not beat the score,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06so I'm debating whether to take the risk or not.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08I know they sold a lot of albums in the US,
0:25:08 > 0:25:12so I'm going to take a bit of a punt and say the Beastie Boys.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14The Beastie Boys, says Matt.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16The Beastie... Surely?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Surely? Here is your red line, Matt.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21It's very low, though. Let's see if you can get below that red line
0:25:21 > 0:25:22with the Beastie Boys. Is it right?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24That's the big question.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Oh, Matt!
0:25:29 > 0:25:32That, I think, is a really gutsy answer.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35I don't know why it's not on that list
0:25:35 > 0:25:37but I'm afraid it's incorrect.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39It cost you 100 points. I thought that was a really good answer.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Yeah, you went over-hipster on podium one there with the Beastie Boys
0:25:42 > 0:25:44and the Arctic Monkeys.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Backstreet Boys, for example, would have scored you two points.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Boyz II Men would have been a pointless answer.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52So there's boys on the list but none as cool as the Beastie Boys,
0:25:52 > 0:25:55I'm afraid. Loads and loads of pointless answers here.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Don't forget, in America, a huge amount of country artists as well,
0:25:59 > 0:26:00they sell an awful lot of albums.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Would you have a guess on any of these?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Maybe Keith Urban.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06That's interesting. I didn't think you were going to say that.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08LAUGHTER
0:26:08 > 0:26:11No. One of your favourite artists is a pointless answer here.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Oh, Prince?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Prince is a pointless answer, unbelievably.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Loads of pointless answers. Let's take a look at a few of them now.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Carrie Underwood, we don't really know her over here.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26She was an American Idol finalist and sold a lot of records.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Prince. There you go. Shania Twain.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38The Supremes. Loads of other answers.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Andy Williams. Alicia Keys.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Creedence Clearwater Revival. Def Leppard is a pointless answer.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Earth, Wind & Fire.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45John Denver. Jethro Tull.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Linkin Park. Kenny G.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Kenny G one of the top 100!
0:26:49 > 0:26:50There you go, that's America.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52R Kelly. The Moody Blues.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Tim McGraw, Toby Keith, both country artists.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Let's take a look at the top three answers,
0:26:57 > 0:26:59the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07The Stones, who were second on the list anyway, would have scored 35,
0:27:07 > 0:27:10and top of the list and top of our leaderboard, The Beatles, with 49.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13There we are. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16So, at the end of our second round, the pair we're sending home with a high score of 200,
0:27:16 > 0:27:19newest members of the 200 club, Matt and Jonny.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21But I thought they were good.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22They were clever wrong answers.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25We'll see you again next time and look forward to it very much indeed.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Meantime, thanks very much. Matt and Jonny.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30APPLAUSE
0:27:30 > 0:27:33But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Congratulations, Maria and Jeannette, Roy and Siobhan.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our
0:27:43 > 0:27:47jackpot, which currently stands at £1,000.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49You know the deal, you are now here, you go head-to-head.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51You can confer before you give your answers.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57This is nice, I've just realised, it is a family affair, this, isn't it?
0:27:57 > 0:28:00We have our cousins and we have father and daughter.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Very good indeed.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06We've had some good answers and less-good answers from each of the pairs.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07But now you can confer.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10I think you will be pretty well matched, actually,
0:28:10 > 0:28:11so this should be very exciting.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Best of luck to both of you. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:19 > 0:28:24Here comes the first question, and it concerns...
0:28:26 > 0:28:30- Species of duck.- It's fun, right? - Yes.- We're now going to show you five pictures of ducks.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33It gets even funner!
0:28:33 > 0:28:35You need to tell us which species they are.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37We are going to give you letters, don't panic too much.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Some of the letters with those ducks.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41It's like a dream, isn't it?
0:28:41 > 0:28:42- Isn't it?- What about that?
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Here are our ducks.
0:28:44 > 0:28:45We have...
0:29:17 > 0:29:19There we go, five species of duck.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Maria and Jeannette, you have been our low scorers,
0:29:22 > 0:29:23so you will go first.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:29:27 > 0:29:28OK...
0:29:35 > 0:29:39We would like to go for E, which we think is eider.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Eider, say Maria and Jeannette.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Roy and Siobhan, all those other ducks are yours.
0:29:44 > 0:29:50- Talk us through them.- We think A is a teal and B is a mallard.
0:29:51 > 0:29:56We are not sure about C and we are not sure about D,
0:29:56 > 0:30:00so it's a question of teal or mallard.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02- What do you think?- I think mallard.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- Let's go B, mallard. - You're going to say mallard.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08We have eider and mallard.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Maria and Jeannette went for eider,
0:30:10 > 0:30:13let's see if that is right and let's see how many of our 100 people said eider.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17It's right.
0:30:21 > 0:30:2239 for eider.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Meanwhile, Roy and Siobhan have gone for mallard for B.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Let's see if that is right and let's see how many of our 100 said mallard.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37It's... Oh, look at that, 89.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39A big score for mallard.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Well done, Maria and Jeannette.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44That is a big score.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48That is a picture of a mallard at a surprise birthday party.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49Jumping out on another mallard.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Teal would have been a better score.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Still wouldn't have win you the point.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55It's a big scorer, it would have scored you 51.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01C is the common scoter.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03It's not that common, because it scored one point.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Have you got any idea about D?
0:31:07 > 0:31:09It is the only duck named after a Bond film.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13I didn't even know there was a duck called...
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Goldeneye. It would be a good Bond villain as well,
0:31:15 > 0:31:17wouldn't it? 11 points for that.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20He just looks perpetually surprised, doesn't he?
0:31:20 > 0:31:22- Look at that. - He's the one, it's his party.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Oh, I see!
0:31:24 > 0:31:27The mallard is going, "You are kidding me, you haven't!
0:31:27 > 0:31:30"What have you got me? Oh, bread?"
0:31:30 > 0:31:33You know you mustn't feed bread to ducks.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34You mustn't, I know.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Very bad for them. They were saying it's too carby.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38You think, poor ducks, really?
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Even them? You've got to give them salad.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42LAUGHTER
0:31:42 > 0:31:45It's what they said, you've got to give them salad, apparently.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46Give them peas.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Peas? Also, don't give them stuff that sinks.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50Don't do that. Nothing heavy.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54Also, pork chops, don't give them, they don't like it.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Thank you, Richard. Here comes your second question. Roy and Siobhan,
0:31:56 > 0:31:58you get to answer this one first,
0:31:58 > 0:32:00but you have to win this one to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04Our second question this afternoon is all about...
0:32:06 > 0:32:08What about that, pizza toppings? Richard.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12We are going give you five anagrams now of things commonly found as pizza toppings.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Can you unscramble them and give us the most obscure?
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Let's reveal our five anagrams, and here they are.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19We've got...
0:32:31 > 0:32:34There we are. Roy and Siobhan will go first.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:32:38 > 0:32:39That's a good one.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Capers?
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Um, we only know two.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55We're going to go for the second one, capers.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Capers, say Roy and Siobhan.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01Capers. Maria and Jeannette, talk us through that board, if you can.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03We're not sure of the top one.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08The third one is pineapple.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Salami.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11The last one, we think, is anchovies,
0:33:11 > 0:33:13and that's the one we want to go for.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15You're going to go for anchovies. Anchovies.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17We have capers and we have anchovies.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Roy and Siobhan went for capers.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said capers.
0:33:24 > 0:33:25It's right.
0:33:30 > 0:33:3135 for capers, not bad.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36Maria and Jeannette, meanwhile,
0:33:36 > 0:33:38have gone for anchovies, for "shave icon".
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Let's see if anchovies is right, let's see how many people said it.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45It is right.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49It has to beat 35, and it does, look at that, very well done,
0:33:49 > 0:33:5124 for anchovies.
0:33:53 > 0:33:54Well done, Maria and Jeannette.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57After only two questions, you're through to the final, 2-0.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Very well played. What a performance.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02That top one is the tough one, it's the best answer up there.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05We'll fill in the other two. You're right about pineapple,
0:34:05 > 0:34:07pineapple would have scored you 45.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11Salami would have scored you 71.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15They proved on MythBusters the other day that you can use it as rocket fuel, salami,
0:34:15 > 0:34:17because it is so rich in nitrates. How about that.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19- A bit of a waste. - It is a bit of a waste.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Of the ones you knew, anchovies was the best one to go for,
0:34:22 > 0:34:25but the top one is the best answer, it scored six points, and it is...
0:34:25 > 0:34:27- I can't...- ..red onion.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29- Oh, for heaven's sake.- Red onion.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31There we are. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:34 > 0:34:35I'm so sorry, Roy and Siobhan.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37This is really goodbye now.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40You have done much better. The first time, we said goodbye at the end of
0:34:40 > 0:34:42the first round, this time, through to the head-to-head.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Not bad. But they just pipped you on your anagram there.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49It's been lovely having you on the show, thank you so much for playing, Roy and Siobhan.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50APPLAUSE
0:34:51 > 0:34:54For Maria and Jeannette, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Congratulations, Maria and Jeannette.
0:35:00 > 0:35:05- You have seen off all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.- Yes!
0:35:11 > 0:35:13You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,000.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18There it is. Our cousins have won through,
0:35:18 > 0:35:22our central mid Sussex cousins have made it through to the end.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26Only one appearance and straight through, 2-0 in the head-to-head,
0:35:26 > 0:35:28no arguing with any of that.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:35:30 > 0:35:33You know what it's like, these final rounds. Horrific things go up on that board.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35We've got a few things in mind, haven't we? A few favourites.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- Oscars, maybe. Film.- Mm.- Erm...
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Jake Gyllenhaal films.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43- To be specific.- OK! - Heath Ledger films.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46- OK!- Maria's good on tennis, so that would be great.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48- OK.- I like tennis.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Good stuff, best of luck.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Brokeback Mountain is basically what you want.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Yeah, anything I can answer Brokeback Mountain to!
0:35:55 > 0:35:58OK, there we are. You get to choose from the four options.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Today's selection looks like this.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08This is pretty much everything you asked for!
0:36:11 > 0:36:12Wow.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15That's hard, isn't it?
0:36:15 > 0:36:16- Not the top two.- No, thank you.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19US Crime Writers is too narrow.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22I would go either Scandinavian Pop...
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Scandinavian Pop is quite narrow.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Or the Army.
0:36:26 > 0:36:27No!
0:36:27 > 0:36:29We have nobody in the military.
0:36:29 > 0:36:30Do you have any other options?
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Erm...
0:36:32 > 0:36:35I think it has got to be one of the bottom two.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Do you not think you could have a go at US Crime Writers?
0:36:37 > 0:36:41- No, I really... - We'll go Scandinavian Pop.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43It could be lovely, Scandinavian Pop.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46It could land very well, but we will have to find out.
0:36:46 > 0:36:47Scandinavian Pop.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Here are your three options, very best of luck,
0:36:50 > 0:36:52I hope one of these suits you. We are looking for...
0:36:58 > 0:37:03Any UK top 40 album by A-Ha up to the end of 2015, please.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09UK top 40 single by Ace Of Base, again, up to the end of 2015.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12So, tracks on The Visitors, UK top 40 albums by A-Ha
0:37:12 > 0:37:14or top 40 singles by Ace Of Base.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- Very best of luck. - OK, as always, you've got
0:37:16 > 0:37:18up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22All you need to win the jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23Are you ready?
0:37:25 > 0:37:27OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Are you confident with any of those albums?
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- Right, no...- A-ha is my era.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36So, I would think...
0:37:36 > 0:37:38Do you know the names of them?
0:37:38 > 0:37:40I would guess something like Manhattan Skyline.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42I know it's the name of a song.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43It rings a bell.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Or The Sun Always Shines On TV.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- Yeah, that could be...- Singles by Ace Of Base, All She Wants.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50That's the only one I know, really.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Quite high, I imagine. The Visitors by ABBA,
0:37:53 > 0:37:55I don't know which of their albums that is,
0:37:55 > 0:37:58but we could hazard a guess at some of the singles on it.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01If we think of maybe Mamma Mia,
0:38:01 > 0:38:04maybe there is something in that that would have been on that album.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- Yeah.- So, Money, Money, Money,...
0:38:07 > 0:38:08Gimme Gimme...
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Gimme Gimme Money...
0:38:10 > 0:38:13No, Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A Man After Midnight.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15We could go for that.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Or we could go for...
0:38:17 > 0:38:21- Ten seconds left.- Shall we say Manhattan Skyline and...
0:38:21 > 0:38:25All She Wants and then just do Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! for ABBA.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26OK.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- We've run out of time.- OK, that is your time up, I'm afraid.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32I now need your three answers.
0:38:32 > 0:38:37OK, we'll go for Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! on the tracks on The Visitors by ABBA.
0:38:37 > 0:38:38Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
0:38:38 > 0:38:41UK top 40 albums...
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- What's it called?- Possibly Manhattan Skyline, it's a guess.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Manhattan Skyline, this is for A-Ha.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51- A-Ha, sorry.- And All She Wants, singles by Ace Of Base.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53All She Wants, All She Wants.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Probably the A-Ha one.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01- You think?- If it's right.
0:39:01 > 0:39:02So, Manhattan Skyline we put last.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:04 > 0:39:08- Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! - Or All She Wants.
0:39:08 > 0:39:09OK, All She Wants.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11All She Wants we put first.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then,
0:39:13 > 0:39:15and here they are. We've got...
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Best of luck. It wasn't the easiest board.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26- No!- But you did OK, you came up with three answers.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Now, let's see if one of these turned out to be pointless and wins
0:39:29 > 0:39:33you that jackpot. £1,000, not a bad thing to be sent home with.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35What would you do with that, Maria?
0:39:36 > 0:39:38I want to take my sons away.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41I've got two teenage boys, I want to take them away this year.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44So I was thinking maybe Iceland or Cuba.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46So I'd probably put it towards that.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Very nice indeed. Jeannette, how about you?
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Well, I'm going to be having a baby in a few months,
0:39:52 > 0:39:56so I might get a weekend away, quickly, before that happens!
0:39:56 > 0:39:57Absolutely, quite right.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Best of luck with all of that.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Your first answer was All She Wants.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05In this case we were looking for Ace Of Base top 40 singles.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Let's see if this is right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10If it's pointless, it will win you £1,000.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12How many people said All She Wants?
0:40:16 > 0:40:19I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, so not a pointless answer.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23Which means we move onto your next answer, which was Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
0:40:23 > 0:40:27In this case, we were looking for tracks from The Visitors album by
0:40:27 > 0:40:29ABBA. Again, this has to be right,
0:40:29 > 0:40:31then it has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35So, for £1,000, let's see how many people said Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Bad luck.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42I'm afraid that is also incorrect.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Which means everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Manhattan Skyline.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50In this case, we were looking for UK top 40 albums by A-Ha.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53This was a bit of a punt, but you came out with it early on,
0:40:53 > 0:40:55so it must have been in there somewhere.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- Maybe.- We just have to hope it is right, and that it's pointless.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00If it is both of those, it will win you £1,000.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Let's find out how many people said Manhattan Skyline.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Oh, bad luck! I'm sorry.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19We will discover from Richard shortly why those were wrong.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21But I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless
0:41:21 > 0:41:24answer, so you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26That will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29But it's been great having you on, very strong performance across the show.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31You each get to take home a Pointless trophy,
0:41:31 > 0:41:32so it hasn't all been in vain.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34- Maria and Jeannette.- Thank you.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41You played it exactly the right way, taking a risk as well.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42It's the only way to win the money,
0:41:42 > 0:41:44so thank you for doing that at least.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47It's All That She Wants, the Ace Of Base song,
0:41:47 > 0:41:49- would have scored you 39 points anyway.- OK.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Now it's all I've got in my head, All That She Wants by Ace Of Base,
0:41:52 > 0:41:54as has everyone at home.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Manhattan Skyline, as you said, is an A-Ha song.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59It was on an album, the album was Scoundrel Days,
0:41:59 > 0:42:01and that was a pointless answer.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04You were thinking exactly along the right lines.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:42:08 > 0:42:09Only three pointless answers here.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16- Wow!- It's not a song I know.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Let's take a look now at A-Ha.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Lots of pointless answers here.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29You also could have had 25, Foot Of The Mountain, Headlines And Deadlines,
0:42:29 > 0:42:32and The Definitive Singles Collection was a pointless answer.
0:42:32 > 0:42:33Well done if you said that.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Five pointless answers here.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41And Wheel Of Fortune.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Very well done if you got any of those at home,
0:42:43 > 0:42:44and a terrific performance,
0:42:44 > 0:42:47sorry we couldn't serve you up a slightly better jackpot category.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Thanks very much, Richard.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Sadly, Maria and Jeannette didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:51 > 0:42:55which means it rolls over onto the next show, when we will be playing for £2,000.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
