0:00:19 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the show where we are always striving to find the most obscure answers.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- Couple number one.- Hello, I'm Mariam and this is my friend, Sarah,
0:00:37 > 0:00:39and we're both originally from Newcastle.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Peter. this is my son, Tristan,
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- and we're from Tonbridge. - Couple number three.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Tom, from Solihull.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49This is my friend Nina and she's from Cirencester.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51And finally, couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Charlotte, and this is my partner Stuart,
0:00:53 > 0:00:55and we live in Sydenham in South London.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59APPLAUSE
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Thanks very much all of you. A warm welcome to the show.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05We will get to chat to each of you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09All about the grey matter -
0:01:09 > 0:01:12because he's going grey and it doesn't matter.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- You're not going grey. - Hiya, everybody.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Good afternoon.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21APPLAUSE
0:01:21 > 0:01:23I kind of wish I was going grey a little bit.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25People accuse me of dyeing my hair and I never do.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27I get a little bit of grey at the sideburns.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Oh, that's annoying. Yeah.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31But I think I'd be quite distinguished.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35I think people might finally take me seriously if I start going grey.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40The trouble is, everybody wants to go George Clooney grey, don't they? And nobody does.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41That's true.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Anyway, we've only got one returning pair today - that's Tom and Nina.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47That was a great final round last time.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52Ian and Mark got a one-pointer, didn't they?
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Look how gutted everyone looks.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55That's a shame, isn't it? It's a shame,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58it's a shame the jackpot has gone up £1,000, isn't it? Aw!
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Sorry, everybody. So it should be a lot of fun today.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Three new pairs. They all look like fun, don't they?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Don't they, though?- Don't you think?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Don't they?- It's going to be a rollercoaster.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Is it? Is that what you've got planned?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11You know what it's going to be? It's going to be a log flume.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14That's better than a rollercoaster any day.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I prefer log flumes. Every time.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20So put on a mac before you start watching.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Wah!
0:02:22 > 0:02:25OK, Ian and Mark didn't win the jackpot last time so we add another
0:02:25 > 0:02:28£1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:28 > 0:02:29£2,000. There we are.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32APPLAUSE
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37APPLAUSE
0:02:39 > 0:02:42OK, this is the thing you have to remember.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44The pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be
0:02:44 > 0:02:46eliminated - that's the thing.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Our first category today is...
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:54 > 0:02:59who's going to go second. And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06OK, and our people question is all about...
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Famous scientists.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Some vigorous nodding from the near end of the podium.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Famous scientists. Richard?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17On each board we're going to show you seven clues to famous scientists.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20You just have to give us the most obscure answer you can, please.
0:03:20 > 0:03:2114 in all to have a go at at home.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23- Best of luck.- Thank you very much.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24Let's reveal our first board of clues.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26And here they come. Seven on the first board.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I'm going to read those all again.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Mariam.- Hello.- A very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38- Great to have you here. - Nice to be here.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- What do you do, Mariam?- So I'm currently an English literature
0:04:41 > 0:04:43and sociology student at the university in Leeds,
0:04:43 > 0:04:46but in my spare time I like to join in in the Labour society
0:04:46 > 0:04:49and do a lot of political campaigning and that.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Would you say, of your time - there it is, big, big pie chart of your time -
0:04:53 > 0:04:56how much of that, honestly - and the people at Leeds won't be watching -
0:04:56 > 0:05:01how much of that time do you dedicate to your actual academic pursuits?
0:05:01 > 0:05:06I dedicate quite a lot of time, actually, to the society - too much time.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Probably more than I should do.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09I spend more time actually doing that than maybe studying.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Do you think your career will be going in that direction?
0:05:12 > 0:05:13No, not really. I mean,
0:05:13 > 0:05:18- it's fun to do in my spare time but I think politics for me will more be a hobby.- OK.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21So at no stage in the future will people be watching you and saying,
0:05:21 > 0:05:23"Oh, my goodness, I can't believe the Minister of Education -
0:05:23 > 0:05:27"there she was on Pointless back in 2016!"
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Well, maybe in, like, ten, 20 years' time,
0:05:28 > 0:05:31but certainly not in the near future.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33OK. Mariam, scientists.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37I watched the Imitation Game and thought it was great but I can't
0:05:37 > 0:05:39for the life of me remember what the scientist is called,
0:05:39 > 0:05:43so I'm worried I'm just going to have to go for a really obvious one.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I think I'm just going to have to go with the first one,
0:05:46 > 0:05:47which is Isaac Newton.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Isaac Newton, says Mariam.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52OK, let's see how many of our 100 people went for Isaac Newton.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55It's right.
0:05:57 > 0:06:0163. It could have been higher.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02A lot better than 100, anyway.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Gets us off to a good start.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Isaac Newton, reassuringly,
0:06:05 > 0:06:09predicted the world would end no sooner than 2060.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13He said it may even end later, but said it's not going to end before 2060.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15- So that's good news.- Phew.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17So we'll be nearly 90.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- It's fine. It can end then.- Yeah. - Yeah.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Fine by me. Quite a nice way to go out, actually.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Peter.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26- Hi.- Peter, welcome to Pointless.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Great to have you here from Tonbridge.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- That's right.- And what do you do, Peter? What keeps you busy in Tonbridge?
0:06:31 > 0:06:32I do voluntary work now.
0:06:32 > 0:06:38I volunteer at the local Citizens Advice Bureau and local charity bookshop.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39Quite satisfying, I should think?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43It is. There is a pleasure in doing it. You're helping people out, yeah.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44People are grateful, I imagine.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Oh, yeah.- Pleased to get that.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Yeah, I bet. Now, Peter, scientists. Yep.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Right.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I know most of them and there's two that I don't.
0:06:53 > 0:06:59The second one down I know, just not 100% sure on his Christian name.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04I'm going to play it safe and go for the Benedict Cumberbatch one and say Alan Turing.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Alan Turing, says Peter.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Alan Turing.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Not bad. 31.
0:07:20 > 0:07:2231.
0:07:22 > 0:07:2631. Well played, Peter. It wasn't until 1974 that they lifted all their security embargos
0:07:26 > 0:07:29about Bletchley Park. We knew nothing about it until then.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Isn't that extraordinary?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35One of the most important places in British history and it was completely secret.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Blimey. There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Now, Nina, welcome back.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- Thank you.- Remind us what you do, Nina?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I'm a commissioning editor.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44You commission legal tomes?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- I do.- On what basis?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Is it relevance or...?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50It depends if it's a new text or if it's an existing title.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54So if it's something new it will be because there is a requirement
0:07:54 > 0:07:57for it and if it's something that's already going, it's because there's
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- been changes in the law. - Amendments to legislation.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- Yeah.- I see.- And it needs to be brought up to date.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03And so basically, you're bidding for this because you know the minute
0:08:03 > 0:08:06it comes out lots of, everyone in the profession has to buy it, presumably?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08No, it doesn't quite work like that.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- We have copyright of all our titles...- Right.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15..and we commission prominent lawyers, academics, to write on them.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17So it's us organising the work,
0:08:17 > 0:08:21as opposed it coming out and then us bidding on it.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22- I see.- We could write a legal book.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25We've written plenty of illegal ones, haven't we?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Haven't we just? It should be illegal.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- We could knock one out, couldn't we? - Yeah.- Law about something or other.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Yeah. Tort is your thing, isn't it?
0:08:34 > 0:08:35Yes, tort law.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38And you are very good on corporate governance.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Yeah, that's me.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Yeah. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Now, Nina, what would you like to go for?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47OK. The one I was going to go for has been taken.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50I think I know two others on the board.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55And I think I'm going to go for the woman Nobel prize-winner,
0:08:55 > 0:08:57which I believe is Marie Curie.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Marie Curie, says Nina.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Marie Curie.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07It's right. Well, 63 is our high score, which you've passed.
0:09:07 > 0:09:0931 is our low score.
0:09:09 > 0:09:1144 is where you settle.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14APPLAUSE
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Yeah, she won the Nobel Prize for physics and then for chemistry.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18I was terrible at both of them.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Never did physics or chemistry.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Physics. I mean, physics later on becomes really very exciting,
0:09:23 > 0:09:25but at school it's a bit...
0:09:25 > 0:09:26HE YAWNS
0:09:26 > 0:09:31If I ever dated Marie Curie, we would have so little in common, I don't think it would last.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Really? Oh, but she must have been fascinating.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37You know, scientists at that level tend to be such polymaths, anyway.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Listen, I wouldn't be bored with her, I'm saying she would be bored with me.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42I see. No, she wouldn't.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Yeah, I think she would.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Not with your tort knowledge.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47By the time I made her watch Pointless Celebrities for the fifth time,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- she might be a bit kind of... - HE YAWNS
0:09:49 > 0:09:52"Anyway..." And she'd be off to the lab.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Thanks very much indeed.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Stuart, welcome to Pointless.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Good to have you here. Stuart, what do you do?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I'm a brewer. I brew beer.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01You brew beer?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03How many different sorts of beer do you brew?
0:10:03 > 0:10:07We have kind of four core range and we make another four or five,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09depending on the seasons.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- Yeah.- Yeah, you'll have sort of visiting ones or short-term limited edition.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Summer beers, that kind of thing. - Boutique brews.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- What sort of quantities? - We're a ten-barrel brewery.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23So when we brew, we do about 2,500 pints.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27- Ah!- Yeah.- Good stuff. Now, Stuart, you're the last person to have this board.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Do you want to go through it and fill in all missing scientists?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Some of them. I think it's Nikola Tesla.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Charles Darwin.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38And Benjamin Franklin.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41And I'm stuck on Nicole Kidman's...
0:10:42 > 0:10:45So I think I'm going to go for Nikola Tesla.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Nikola Tesla, says Stuart.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Let's see how many of our 100 people went with Nikola Tesla.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Absolutely right, Stuart.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Very well done. 63 is our high score. You pass that very comfortably.
0:10:56 > 0:10:5831, our low score - you pass THAT very comfortably.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Nikola Tesla, 15.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Very well done.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Very well played. That's the one, Peter, you were slightly worried about going for.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- The Nikola, Nicholas thing. - I couldn't remember if it was Nikola or
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- Nikolai or...- Yeah, it's a very good answer.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Well played. Let's fill in the rest of this board.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16We've already heard two of the answers.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17It's Charles Darwin.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Everybody did well to avoid Darwin.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21It would have scored 68.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23And it is Ben Franklin, Benjamin Franklin.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Sounds like I know him, doesn't it? Ben Franklin.- Yeah.- 22 for that.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28And this is the best answer on the board.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Nicole Kidman played Rosalind Franklin.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33One point for that, so very well played, if you said that.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38So we're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at those scores.
0:11:38 > 0:11:4115, Stuart. Well done. Stuart and Charlotte looking very strong on the back of that.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Then we travel up to 31, where we find Peter and Tristan.
0:11:44 > 0:11:4644, Nina and Tom.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48And then 63, Mariam and Sarah.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52So, Sarah, you're not masses ahead, but we need a low score to keep you in the game, so good luck with that.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54We're going to come back down the line now.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02OK. Let's put seven more clues to scientists up on the board.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Here they come.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Let's read them again.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- Charlotte, welcome to the show. - Hi.- Great to have you here. Charlotte.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10- What do you do?- I work for a broadcasting company.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Basically, we take the American shows,
0:13:14 > 0:13:20edit them for the UK TV and then sub them with European audios.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- I see. Oh, that's fun. So you've got to get people in to redub things? - Yeah, exactly.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Hilarious. I've done that a few times.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Yeah. Fun.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Quite fun.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33So, listen, you're on 15.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Great answering from Stuart in the first pass puts you quite comfortably
0:13:36 > 0:13:39at the head of the field. So 47 or less gets you through.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42That's good, because I knew most of the last board
0:13:42 > 0:13:45and I think maybe I know half of these ones.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49I think they're going to be higher-scoring, all the ones that I know.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I'm not sure which one to go for.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56I will go with the Scottish bacteriologist.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00I hope his first name is Alexander Fleming.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Alexander Fleming, says Charlotte.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Here is your red line. You have to get below this red line with
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Alexander Fleming. Let's see if you can.
0:14:12 > 0:14:1449. I think that's good enough.
0:14:14 > 0:14:1749, taking your total up to 64.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Very well played. One of our hundred genuinely said Aretha Franklin.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25LAUGHTER
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Well, she is Scottish.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Thanks very much, Richard.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Tom.- Hello.- Welcome back.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Thank you.- So, Tom, remind us what you do.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35I work for the Environment Agency.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36That's right, in the legal department.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- Yes.- And your interest, we discovered last time was...
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Running, long-distance running.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Long-distance running.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45So do you do lots and lots of marathons?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47I've done a lot of half marathons.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51I mean, a half-marathon for me is a very long way.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56- Yes.- I mean, I'm sure it's not when you're training for it but how do you approach that?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58It's all about establishing a steady pace.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Yeah.- That's the most important thing.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Feeling comfortable when you're running,
0:15:02 > 0:15:04not pushing yourself too much too early.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Terrifying. Anyway, Tom, there you are.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11You're on 44. I mean, ideally, you'd be scoring 19 or less to remain with us.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15I don't think this is going to get us 19 or less,
0:15:15 > 0:15:17but I'm going to go for the inventor of the telephone,
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Alexander Graham Bell.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Alexander Graham Bell.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Well, your red line comes in there.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Can you get below that with Alexander Graham Bell or close to it, at least?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Let's find out how many people said Alexander Graham Bell.
0:15:35 > 0:15:3767.
0:15:37 > 0:15:4067 for that, taking your total up to 111.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Well, you might have done enough to see yourself into the next round.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Yeah, all sorts of controversy as to who really invented the telephone
0:15:47 > 0:15:50and its development. But he is credited with it.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Thank you very much, Richard. So, Tristan.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Welcome. Good to have you here.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- What do you do, Tristan? - I'm doing a master's currently
0:15:58 > 0:16:00in international development and emergencies.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02How long have you been doing that?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04It's almost finished, so about six months, seven months.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06And is there quite a lot of practical experience in that,
0:16:06 > 0:16:08getting involved in charities?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Yeah, we do a consultancy project throughout the year which has just
0:16:11 > 0:16:14finished. I'm trying to get involved in charities afterwards, yeah?
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Right. So do you have anything lined up for post-master's?
0:16:18 > 0:16:22I want to go to Greece to do some work with refugees there.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Very good. OK, so, Tristan, you're on 31.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27The high scorers at the moment are Tom and Nina on 111.
0:16:27 > 0:16:2979 is your target.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34Nice, easily achievable target, I think.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35OK.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39I'm going to go with the theoretical physicist who wrote A Brief History Of Time.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40Go with Stephen Hawking.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Stephen Hawking, says Tristan.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Stephen Hawking.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47There's your red line, nice and high.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51It's right, and you're through.
0:16:53 > 0:16:5444.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58That takes your total up to 75.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03It's been bought by over 10 million people worldwide, that book.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07It's been read by over 10 people worldwide.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Thank you, Richard. Sarah, welcome to Pointless.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Good to have you here. Now, Sarah, tell us what you do.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14I'm a history student.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16History student. Whereabouts?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18York, I go to York St John's.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20York. In which year?
0:17:20 > 0:17:21- First year.- All going well?
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- Yeah, so far so good. - Have you enjoyed your course?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26You won't be changing to a different faculty at any stage?
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- No.- You're going to see history through. I mean, it's a great place to be, York.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- Oh, yeah.- Did you know York well before?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Yeah, I've been there on holiday before -
0:17:34 > 0:17:37cos I live in Newcastle, it's quite close so I've been there
0:17:37 > 0:17:40for days. It's full of history, so it's great.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Beautiful place. Now, 63 is your score.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44You have to score 47 or less.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49Well, I'm trying to think back to my GCSE science and it's just not there.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I think I've got rid of all that out of my head now,
0:17:52 > 0:17:57so I'm going to have a punt on the British ethologist.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00I don't know why - Jane Graham is ringing some sort all of bell.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Jane Graham, ethologist.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Let's see if Jane Graham is right.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08There is your Red Line. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jane Graham.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Is this a brilliant answer, or have you just made it up?
0:18:12 > 0:18:13We'll find out.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Oh, no!
0:18:19 > 0:18:20Oh, bad luck.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21I'm afraid not Jane Graham.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25An incorrect answer scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 163.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27But I applaud the spirit of your answer.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Sorry, Sarah. The answer must be up there somewhere, it's Jane Goodall.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- Oh.- Is the answer.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36First person ever to observe chimpanzees using tools, Jane Goodall,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39or certainly the first person to notify us of seeing it.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42She would have scored you seven points if you had said that.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44The inventor who set up the research lab,
0:18:44 > 0:18:45one of the most famous inventors of all time.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- Edison.- Thomas Edison, yeah. But only scored nine points.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Amazing. Discovered the nucleus of an atom.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54One of the elements is named after him. One of my favourites.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55Oh, it's our friend Rutherford.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- It is - Ernest Rutherford. - Ernest Rutherford.
0:18:58 > 0:18:5914 for that.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- And the Nobel prize-winning physicist...- Albert Einstein. - ..Albert Einstein,
0:19:03 > 0:19:06would have scored 65. So Jane Goodall, the best answer on the board.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Thank you very much indeed.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Well, at the end of our first round, we have to say goodbye to one of our
0:19:10 > 0:19:12pairs and I'm afraid it's our first pair here, Sarah and Mariam.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14We have to say goodbye. You were so nearly there.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Jane G... Jane Goodall.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Anyway, it was a brave shot. We'll see you again next time and I'm sure
0:19:20 > 0:19:22you'll get much, much further. But in the meantime,
0:19:22 > 0:19:24thanks very much for playing, Sarah and Mariam.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28APPLAUSE
0:19:28 > 0:19:30But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38So, three pairs remain. At the end of this round,
0:19:38 > 0:19:40we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Well done. We made it through scientists.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45That was quite tough but, Stuart, very well done.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Nikola Tesla the best answer of that round.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Best of luck to all three pairs for our next round,
0:19:49 > 0:19:51the category for which is...
0:19:54 > 0:19:55Charity fundraising, Tristan.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Can you all decide in your pairs - who's going to go first,
0:19:58 > 0:19:59who's going to go second.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02And whoever is going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08And the question concerns...
0:20:12 > 0:20:13All-star choirs, Richard.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Yeah, we're going to show you a picture now of the all-star choir
0:20:16 > 0:20:19who performed the 2014 Children In Need single.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22You just need to name anybody you're about to see on this image, please.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24We won't accept Pudsey Bear, I'm afraid.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Thanks very much. So we are going to show you an image,
0:20:27 > 0:20:28that's going to stay up for the whole round.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Here is that image.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37There we go.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39That is the all-star choir.
0:20:39 > 0:20:45We just need the name of anyone pictured there.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Tristan.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50I can only really pick out one or two.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54So I'm going to go with Jo Brand.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Jo Brand. Jo Brand, says Tristan.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Let's see if that's right.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jo Brand.
0:21:04 > 0:21:0674. 74.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12There she is on the bottom row, Jo Brand.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15They made a series of them recording this.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18She was very funny because she didn't want to be told what to do.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- No.- She didn't realise that it's actually quite hard work and she was so naughty.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24She thought everyone was going to be naughty as well.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- Yeah.- And she was kind of the only one.- Very funny.- Excellent.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Nina.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34I'm going to go for...Larry Lamb.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Larry Lamb, says Nina.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Larry Lamb.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45It's right. You've passed 74 quite comfortably there.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Down it goes. Larry Lamb - to 28.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49That's great, Nina. Very well done indeed.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Yeah, best known for playing Archie in EastEnders and, of course,
0:21:55 > 0:21:57the father in Gavin And Stacey as well. Larry Lamb.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Charlotte.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01It's getting harder.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Yep. I'm really struggling with this one.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06So Mel, I know...
0:22:07 > 0:22:09..but she's got a funny surname.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11I think it's...
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Oh, no. Stuart's going to hate me.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14I think it's Mel Gildrick.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Gildrick? Gildrick. Can I say Gildrick?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Mel Gildrick. Mel Gildrick, says Charlotte.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Mel Gildrick, if that's right.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32No. I'm sorry, Charlotte, I'm afraid that's incorrect.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Scores you 100 points.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- Sorry, Charlotte. I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the pass.- Of course.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Thank you very much. Now, well, we're about to come back down the line.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Before we do that, let's take a quick look at those scores.
0:22:42 > 0:22:4328, Nina. Look at that.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46The star of the pass, Nina, very much.
0:22:46 > 0:22:4874 is where we find Tristan and Peter.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Then up to 100 where we find Stuart and Charlotte.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53So, Stuart, yes, you know what we need from you.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56And do you know what? I bet that's not the last 100 of the round.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58OK, we're going to come back down the line.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05OK, so remember, Stuart,
0:23:05 > 0:23:09we're looking for the name of anyone pictured here with Pudsey Bear.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Yeah.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16I'm in quite a similar position, as in that that I know it's Mel something.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20I know the Strictly Come Dancing guy but I can't remember his name.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23The rest of them,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25I don't recognise them at all.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I think I'm going to have another stab at Mel.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31Gedric.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Gedric. Mel Gedric.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- Yeah.- Mel Gedric, says Stuart.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38OK, there's no red line for you as you're the high scorers.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Let's see if that is right.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Let's see how many of our 100 people said it if it is.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Oh, I'm sorry.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54I'm afraid that scores you 100 points - takes your total up to 200.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Yeah. Sorry.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Yeah. Thank you, Richard.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Tom. You get through to the next round, because Stuart and Charlotte
0:24:04 > 0:24:06are so far ahead.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09You won't overtake them, even if you score 100.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13I think I know two, and I'm going to go for Linda Robson.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Linda Robson, says Tom.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Linda Robson. No red line. How many people said that?
0:24:20 > 0:24:21It's right.
0:24:27 > 0:24:2822.
0:24:30 > 0:24:3222, taking your total up to 50.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35The lovely Linda Robson from Birds Of A Feather and Loose Women
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- and all sorts of things.- Wonderful.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Thank you, Richard.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Peter, good news for you as well -
0:24:40 > 0:24:42you are also going to be in the head-to-head, no matter what you score.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Do you want to talk us through it?
0:24:44 > 0:24:47I presume the guy in the middle is Gareth Malone.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Is it Mel Giedroyc?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54The only one I think I know is Alison Steadman so I'm going to go Alison Steadman.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Alison Steadman, says Peter.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57No red line for you. You're already through.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59How many of our 100 went for Alison Steadman?
0:25:02 > 0:25:03It's right.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Oh, that's a great answer. Look at that. 10, Peter.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13This is very impressive. 84 is your total.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Nicely done, Peter. There is Alison Steadman on the left in the middle.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Of course, married to Larry Lamb in Gavin And Stacey.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21And thank you, Peter,
0:25:21 > 0:25:24for pronouncing Mel Giedroyc's surname perfectly as well -
0:25:24 > 0:25:28because I know she has about a million different pronunciations but Mel Giedroyc is the right one.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Mel would've scored you 25 points.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33You're right about Gareth Malone, being right in the middle there.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35He obviously put the all-star choir together.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36He would have scored you 20.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38There is a few good obscure answers here.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Top left there, that's the former footballer Fabrice Muamba -
0:25:42 > 0:25:43would have scored you one point.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Next to him - he's slightly hidden -
0:25:45 > 0:25:48so actually only scores 14 points but the unmistakable face...
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- Of...- ..lovely John Craven.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54No! Is that John Craven?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- Yeah.- Who did you think it was?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I thought it was Christopher Biggins.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00LAUGHTER
0:26:00 > 0:26:03I was thinking, "Yes, he's largely hidden there."
0:26:03 > 0:26:05The Biggins. It's John Craven.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06Yeah, John Craven that is.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11Next to him, from EastEnders, a wonderful comic actor as well, Nitin Ganatra.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12One point for Nitin.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Craig Revel Horwood is the Strictly guy.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Would have scored you 33.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Just below him, a pointless answer - rugby player Margaret Alphonsi.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Very well done if you said that pointless answer.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Bottom left the corner there -
0:26:23 > 0:26:24he's been on the show.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25He was lovely,
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Blue Peter presenter Radzi Chinyanganya.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31And the only person we haven't mentioned right next to Gareth Malone there,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Alice Levine, who would have scored you one point.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34There we are.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Gareth Malone. He looks a little bit like he's been superimposed
0:26:37 > 0:26:40into that photograph, if I'm being perfectly honest.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Everybody else look like they're very much in the frame. Gareth...
0:26:44 > 0:26:45- Superimposed in.- Yeah, exactly.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48And also I'll tell you who else looks a bit like they're superimposed in -
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Christopher Biggins up there.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Yeah.- Doesn't he?- Thank you very much, Richard.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55So we are at the end of our second round.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57And I'm afraid the pair we have to say goodbye to -
0:26:57 > 0:26:59it's Stuart and Charlotte.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01I mean, well done, two game attempts at Mel's surname,
0:27:01 > 0:27:03and it is a tough one.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05But we've now all learnt how to say it properly.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08We will see you again next time, when I hope you'll do much better,
0:27:08 > 0:27:13but in the meantime, thanks very much, Stuart and Charlotte. APPLAUSE
0:27:13 > 0:27:15But for Tom and Nina, Peter and Tristan,
0:27:15 > 0:27:17it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Congratulations, Peter and Tristan, Tom and Nina.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for that jackpot,
0:27:28 > 0:27:31which currently stands at £2,000.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34APPLAUSE
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Well, we've made it to this fun plateau of the head-to-head,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40where you can start playing as teams and chat before you give your answers.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Now, Tom and Nina, you've done one better than you did last time -
0:27:46 > 0:27:47through to the head-to-head.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Can you go one step further, I wonder, and make it through to the final?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52It would be a fitting end to your Pointless careers.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55However, you're up against Peter and Tristan, who've shown some form.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58We've had some lovely low-scoring answers from them in both the rounds,
0:27:58 > 0:28:00as we have from you, Nina, in that last round.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01So I think this should be close.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:04 > 0:28:10APPLAUSE
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Here is your first question and it concerns...
0:28:16 > 0:28:17African capital cities,
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- Richard.- Yeah, I think if you were to have one single question
0:28:20 > 0:28:22that would sum up the entire history of Pointless, it would be this.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26I'm going to give you five anagrams now of African capital cities.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Can you unscramble them and give us the most obscure?
0:28:28 > 0:28:32Thanks, Richard. Here are the five anagrams of African capital cities
0:28:32 > 0:28:33and we have got...
0:28:44 > 0:28:49Peter and Tristan, you've been our low scorers up to this point, so you will go first.
0:28:49 > 0:28:56THEY WHISPER
0:29:03 > 0:29:06We're going to go for the second one down - Mogadishu.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Mogadishu. Mogadishu, say Peter and Tristan.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Now then, Tom and Nina.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Do you fancy talking us through the others?
0:29:15 > 0:29:18We think we know three others.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22So there's Tunis at the bottom.
0:29:22 > 0:29:23Nairobi.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26And Rabat at the top.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30And we're going to go for Rabat.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34You're going to go for Rabat. So we have Mogadishu and we have Rabat.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Now then, Peter and Tristan went for Mogadishu.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Let's see if that's right, maid hog us. How many of our 100 got that?
0:29:49 > 0:29:5016.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55OK.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Peter and Tristan have thrown down their gauntlet at 16.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Tom and Nina, that's what you have to beat with Rabat.
0:30:01 > 0:30:02A brat. There it is up there.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Let's see how many of our 100 people spotted Rabat.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09It is Rabat.
0:30:12 > 0:30:13Oh, it's going to be close.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17Oh, it is close. Oh, 17!
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Wow. I told you you'd be well matched.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24Well done, Peter and Tristan. After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28That was close. The capital of Somalia beating the capital of Morocco.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Shall we fill in the rest of this board?
0:30:30 > 0:30:34You were absolutely right, it's Tunis.
0:30:34 > 0:30:35The capital of Tunisia, 35.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39And Nairobi, Nairobi would have scored you 28.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41And this is the best answer on the board.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43It's got its name in the name of the country as well.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45It's the capital of Guinea-Bissau.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47And it's Bissau - would have scored you one point.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49So very well done, if you said that at home.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Thanks very much, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53Tom and Nina, you get to answer it first,
0:30:53 > 0:30:55but you have to win it to stay in the game.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57So good luck with that.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01Our second question this afternoon is all about A Royal Education.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03A Royal Education.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07- Richard.- We'll show you five pictures now of royals when they were in education.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Can you tell us the most obscure of these, please?
0:31:09 > 0:31:14OK. Let's reveal our five royals in education. Here they are.
0:31:14 > 0:31:15We've got...
0:31:37 > 0:31:38And...
0:31:44 > 0:31:46There we are. Five royals in education.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Tom and Nina, you'll go first this time.
0:31:48 > 0:31:53THEY WHISPER
0:32:02 > 0:32:05We're going to go with C, Zara Phillips.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07C, Zara Phillips.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09C, Zara Phillips, say Tom and Nina.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Now, Peter and Tristan, can you talk us through that board?
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Not really. D is the Queen, I think.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17B, you think is...?
0:32:17 > 0:32:20- Is Will.- Oh, is William. I think E is Viscount Linley.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24A, I haven't got a clue.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27I think on the basis that Zara Phillips would probably beat
0:32:27 > 0:32:31the Queen or Prince William, shall we go for E, Viscount Linley?
0:32:32 > 0:32:35- Yeah.- You're going to go for Viscount Linley.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37OK, so we have Zara Phillips and we have Viscount Linley.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Tom and Nina said Zara Phillips for C.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46It's right.
0:32:49 > 0:32:5050.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54APPLAUSE
0:32:54 > 0:32:59Peter and Tristan, taking a bit of a punt on E and saying Viscount Linley.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Viscount Linley.
0:33:05 > 0:33:06It is Viscount Linley.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13And, unsurprisingly, that wins you the point and takes you down to two.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Look at that! Very well done indeed, Peter and Tristan.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Good punt to take there.
0:33:18 > 0:33:19And it means, after only two questions,
0:33:19 > 0:33:21you're straight through to the final 2-0.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Yeah, very well done. How did you recognise Viscount Linley?
0:33:24 > 0:33:26I don't know, I just recognised the face.
0:33:26 > 0:33:27- Isn't that funny?- I don't know.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30That was when he was just going to audition for Oliver Twist.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Wasn't he just? I like the fact you went for it
0:33:32 > 0:33:34because you thought your other two answers were too obvious,
0:33:34 > 0:33:38and both of your other two answers were wrong! So, yeah -
0:33:38 > 0:33:40that worked out very nicely, didn't it?
0:33:40 > 0:33:43The top answer is a very good scorer, the top answer, that is...
0:33:43 > 0:33:44I would say Edward VII.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46It is Edward VII.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48And would have scored you three points.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Now, the second one, it's not Prince William - it's Prince George.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54It's his son. That's cute. Wrong answer, though.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57He would have scored 61 points.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01And equally, D is not the Queen - it's her sister.
0:34:01 > 0:34:02- Princess Margaret. - Princess Margaret, yeah.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04And that would have scored 14.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10So the pair leaving us, I'm afraid, at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Tom and Nina. This is where we say goodbye.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Much better performance this time.
0:34:14 > 0:34:15Great to have you in the head-to-head
0:34:15 > 0:34:17but I'm sorry you didn't get a better shot at the final.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19But you've done very well.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Tom and Nina, it's been great having you on the show. Thanks very much for playing.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24APPLAUSE
0:34:24 > 0:34:27But for Peter and Tristan, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31APPLAUSE
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Congratulations, Peter and Tristan,
0:34:33 > 0:34:38you've seen off the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:45 > 0:34:50At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,000.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54APPLAUSE
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Well, there's no arguing with your performance right across the show.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00It's been very strong - 2-0 in the head-to-head.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04Any citizens' advice you would give yourselves at this point, Peter?
0:35:04 > 0:35:06- Don't panic.- Don't panic.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Yeah, absolutely, particularly in this last round.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10You'll know what these boards are like.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11Quite often they look quite forbidding.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15Quite often, there's something inside you should be able to have a go at.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19But let's hope one of the topics on today's board fits the bill for you.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20Today's selection looks like this.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36- Not musicals.- Definitely not musicals. No.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37Sporting Williams?
0:35:37 > 0:35:41- I mean, it could be anything.- Just Williams surname, sporting figures.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43- Tolkien.- You know Tolkien.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Not that...you know Tolkien as well as I do.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Yeah, we both like Lord Of The Rings.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50I mean, do you want to go for Tolkien?
0:35:50 > 0:35:53It will give us a punt on something, won't it?
0:35:53 > 0:35:54Yeah, we'll have a go at that.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56On the basis we don't think we know much about anything else,
0:35:56 > 0:35:58we're going to go for Tolkien.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Tolkien. OK, Tolkien it is.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04Also on the basis that you both know a lot about Tolkien as well.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05To be fair. It's three different questions.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08If you know your Tolkien, I suspect you'll do very, very well.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10We're looking for any of the following, please.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13We're looking for the names of any of the 13 dwarves that set out with
0:36:13 > 0:36:16Bilbo and Gandalf on the journey to the Lonely Mountain in The Hobbit.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19We're looking for any of the chapter titles in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22So any of the chapter titles in The Fellowship Of The Ring,
0:36:22 > 0:36:24The Two Towers and The Return Of The King.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Or we're looking for any of Bilbo's party guests in the Fellowship Of The Ring.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31That's any of the surnames of the families of hobbits invited by
0:36:31 > 0:36:32Bilbo to dine in the pavilion.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35So the dwarves in The Hobbit, any of those 13 dwarves, please.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37The chapter titles in Lord Of The Rings,
0:36:37 > 0:36:42or the family surnames of any of Bilbo's party guests in the Fellowship Of The ring.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Good luck.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48OK. Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of your answers to be
0:36:52 > 0:36:53pointless. Are you ready?
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- Yeah.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00You've seen the film The Hobbit, haven't you?
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Yeah. I'm trying to remember the names of the dwarves.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Chapter titles in The Lord Of The rings -
0:37:05 > 0:37:08we're not going to get many of the chapter titles but wasn't there one
0:37:08 > 0:37:11about Tales of Tom Bombadil which wasn't from the films?
0:37:11 > 0:37:15- The towers?- The Tales of Tom Bombadil, which is part of the book, wasn't it?
0:37:15 > 0:37:18But was that a chapter title?
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Let's go with that.- Go for that. You know Bilbo's party guests?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23What were the name of the really annoying family that he doesn't...
0:37:23 > 0:37:25They're like unwanted guests.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28The neighbours of...
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- The Bagginses.- Think of the dwarves.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- Cos you've seen the films, haven't you?- Um...
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Bodril or something like that.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Bodril. That ringing a bell?
0:37:42 > 0:37:44- Go for Bodril.- OK.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46And...
0:37:46 > 0:37:47What was the name of the...?
0:37:47 > 0:37:49- 10 seconds left. - ..of the king dwarf?
0:37:54 > 0:37:55It's not coming.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- No, let's just go with that.- OK.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- OK.- That is your time up. Let's have your three answers.
0:38:02 > 0:38:03Well, we're going to go for Bodril.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- Bodril.- For the dwarves in The Hobbit.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09We're going to try for The Tales Of Tom Bombadil for one of the chapter
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- titles in the Lord Of The Rings. - The Tales of Tom Bombadil. Yeah.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15And the Bagginses in the party guests
0:38:15 > 0:38:17cos there must have been some other of Bilbo's relatives.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19OK, some Bagginses. Exactly.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22You couldn't have a party without asking the relatives, surely.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- That's true.- Of those three, which is your most confident answer?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Well, I think we'll go for the...
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Shall we go for the chapter title, The Tales Of Tom Bombadil?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31OK. Bombadil goes last.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- Bodril?- Bodril.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Bodril. And then we'll put Baggins in in the middle.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41OK, well, let's put those three answers on the board in that order, then. And here they are.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42We have got...
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Well, very, very best of luck.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Three answers on the boards - who knows?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53One of them might be a brilliant pointless answer.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56If that were to be the case and you were to win £2,000,
0:38:56 > 0:38:59what would you do with your spoils? Peter, you first.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Well, the correct answer would be, I'd treat the wife and take her away,
0:39:02 > 0:39:07but probably the incorrect one is I'd spend it on my season ticket for next season.
0:39:07 > 0:39:08OK, where's that?
0:39:08 > 0:39:09Stamford Bridge. Sorry.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Right. Tristan.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16Yeah, so it's Mum's birthday - 60th, next year, so we might treat her.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19I'm glad at least one of you remembered that, Tristan.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21- Favourite son.- Yeah.
0:39:21 > 0:39:22Well said.
0:39:24 > 0:39:25Good luck. Three answers on the board.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Let's hope they're all right.
0:39:27 > 0:39:28Bodril was your first answer.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31In this case, we were looking for dwarves in The Hobbit.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Bodril. I mean, it sounds right, doesn't it?
0:39:34 > 0:39:36If it is right and if it's pointless, it will win you £2,000.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38How many people said Bodril?
0:39:42 > 0:39:44No. Bad luck, I'm afraid.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Bodril, an incorrect answer.
0:39:46 > 0:39:47So obviously not pointless,
0:39:47 > 0:39:50which means we only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Your next answer was the Bagginses.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55We were looking for the surnames of Bilbo's party guests.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of 100 people went for the Bagginses.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02For £2,000, is it pointless?
0:40:05 > 0:40:06It's right.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Well, your first answer, Bodril, was incorrect, your second answer,
0:40:10 > 0:40:12the Bagginses, is absolutely on the money.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Down it goes through the 30s, to 38.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19APPLAUSE
0:40:19 > 0:40:20Which means...
0:40:20 > 0:40:23- Bit of a relief getting one right. - Only one more shot at today's jackpot, though.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Your last answer, The Tales Of Tom Bombadil.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Now, Peter, you came up with this quite confidently during your minute
0:40:30 > 0:40:33quite early on, as a chapter heading from The Lord Of The Rings.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Let's find out if it's right, then let's find out if it's pointless.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40For £2,000, how many people went for The Tales Of Tom Bombadil?
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Oh, no. Bad luck.
0:40:45 > 0:40:46Oh.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49APPLAUSE
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Well, that was a punishing final round.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56I mean, a very strong performance right the way through the show,
0:40:56 > 0:40:58until we got to this last round and then you went for Tolkien, which,
0:40:58 > 0:41:01as I was saying, we're going to know lots of these names, I'm sure,
0:41:01 > 0:41:02when we see them up on the board.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06But very hard to conjure up, isn't it, when that minute's ticking by?
0:41:06 > 0:41:08But sadly, you didn't find a pointless answer,
0:41:08 > 0:41:11so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,000.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12That will roll over on to the next show.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15But, as I say, great performance right across the show.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Been great having you on. Lovely to meet you both and you get a
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Pointless trophy each to take home, so there's always that.
0:41:20 > 0:41:21Thank you.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22APPLAUSE
0:41:25 > 0:41:26Yeah, it was a valiant effort.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Terrific effort all the way through the show as well.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Let's go through your answers one by one. Yeah, the Bagginses is a big score.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34The annoying family you were thinking of were their cousins,
0:41:34 > 0:41:36- the Sackville-Baggins.- Oh, yeah.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39That would have been a pointless answer, a terrific one.
0:41:39 > 0:41:40The Tales Of Tom Bombadil.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43There's poetry called The Adventures Of Tom Bombadil and there is also a
0:41:43 > 0:41:47chapter in Lord Of The Rings which is called In The House Of Tom Bombadil.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49And that was a pointless answer as well.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Bodril, I'm afraid, was not one of the dwarves.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54I think you got mixed up because Bodril is the name of the hot beef drink
0:41:54 > 0:41:56that they drink on the journey, I'm afraid.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58So that's unlucky.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Now, let's go through all of the pointless answers.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03There's only two pointless answers in the dwarf category.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Very well done if you said any of those. Everyone else scored points.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12Lots and lots of chapter titles were pointless answers.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Let's take a look at a few of them.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24In fact, the only chapter titles that scored any points at all were A Knife In The Dark,
0:42:24 > 0:42:25Many Meetings and Mount Doom.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Every other chapter title, if you got one of them,
0:42:27 > 0:42:29you'd have got yourself a pointless answer.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32And the final one. Some of those families.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Every family except the Bagginses, the Tooks, the Proudfoots,
0:42:38 > 0:42:40the Brandybucks and the Boffins.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41All the other families were pointless.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Well, it's been fun reading out those names, at least.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46- Hasn't it?- Yeah.- Hasn't it just?
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Thank you, Richard. Well, very sadly,
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Peter and Tristan didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:50 > 0:42:54which means it rolls over on to the next show, when we will be playing
0:42:54 > 0:42:55for £3,000.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58APPLAUSE
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Join us then and see if someone can win it.
0:43:00 > 0:43:01Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06APPLAUSE
