0:00:14 > 0:00:16APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Thanks very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27the show where the more obscure your knowledge,
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the better your chances of winning. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Hi, my name is Sarah and this is my friend Mariam,
0:00:37 > 0:00:39and we're from Newcastle.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Couple number two.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44and we're from Sydenham, South London.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Couple number three.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hi. My name's Shelagh, I'm with my son Daniel,
0:00:48 > 0:00:49and we're from Manchester.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51And finally, couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54I'm Jill and this is my husband Peter, and we're from Salford.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Thanks very much, all of you, a very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Great to have you here.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03We'll speak to each of you throughout the show
0:01:03 > 0:01:04as it goes along.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10More brains than a low-budget zombie movie,
0:01:10 > 0:01:12it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Hiya. Hey, everybody.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16APPLAUSE
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- Good afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Now, a real show of two halves today.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22On podium one and podium two, we've got our returning pairs
0:01:22 > 0:01:25who were knocked out in Round One and Round Two last time,
0:01:25 > 0:01:26so hopefully see more of them.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28And then podium three and podium four,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30we've got a Manchester v Salford battle.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Which is one of the...
0:01:32 > 0:01:33I mean, that's a battle.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35A grudge match right there, isn't it?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37It really is a grudge match. So it's going to be a lot of fun,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- and a lovely old-school Pointless first round today as well.- Fabulous.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Thanks very much, Richard.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Now, Peter and Tristan didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48So today's jackpot starts off at...
0:01:50 > 0:01:51There we are.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58APPLAUSE
0:02:00 > 0:02:03So, the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:03 > 0:02:04will be eliminated.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06That's the rule.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Our first category for Round One today is...
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17who's going to go second.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20And whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25OK, let's find out what the question is - here it comes.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Countries that end with two consonants.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- Richard.- Yeah, we're looking for any country in the world
0:02:38 > 0:02:40whose usual short-form name in English
0:02:40 > 0:02:41ends with two consonants, please.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43As always, by "country" we mean a sovereign state
0:02:43 > 0:02:45that's a member of the UN in its own right.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Off the top of your head,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49how many countries would you say there would be on this list?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53I would say...
0:02:53 > 0:02:54100.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57There are 18 countries on this list.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- Isn't that incredible?- Really?!
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I was going to wade through hundreds and hundreds of things -
0:03:02 > 0:03:0618 countries use names that end with two consonants.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07That narrows it down a bit.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- Doesn't it just?- Doesn't it just?
0:03:09 > 0:03:15Sarah. OK, countries that end in two consonants.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Hmm.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Sarah, anyway, listen, you think about that
0:03:19 > 0:03:21with two-thirds of your brain.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23With one third of your brain, remind us what you do.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I'm a history student.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28History student, in your first year, at York.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Yeah.- Which is a lovely place to be.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35What do you get up to when you're not revising, working, studying?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I get involved in a lot of society sort of stuff,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41so, like, History Society, Geek Society, stuff like that.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Now, what does Geek Society do?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45It's just, like, a lot of, like, different, like, sort of people
0:03:45 > 0:03:49that are interested in a lot of sci-fi or maybe games or something -
0:03:49 > 0:03:51a combination of different people
0:03:51 > 0:03:53with lots of different interests and stuff.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56I see. OK. Now, does any of that include
0:03:56 > 0:04:00a knowledge of countries that end in two consonants?
0:04:00 > 0:04:01- No.- No.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07I did geography A-level, but that's about as far as it goes.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- Yes.- Oh...
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Paris.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I don't know, I can't think of anything.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- I'm having a blank. - Don't worry. Don't worry at all.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21I mean, really, really don't worry.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24A, I wouldn't be at all surprised
0:04:24 > 0:04:28if there aren't several 100-scorers in this round.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30And B, it's always tough going on that first podium,
0:04:30 > 0:04:32so I'm sorry to put you under that pressure, Sarah.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Paris - let's see what happens when we say Paris.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Bad luck, Sarah.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43But anyway, phew - there you are, you don't have to do that again.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I'm afraid that scores you 100 points.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Always the worst place to be, that first podium.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51They're not going to like that in Geek Society, that's all I'll say.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Yeah, Paris - wrong for a number of reasons,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55which we will go into at the end of the round.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Thank you very much, Richard.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Now, Stuart, welcome back.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Remind us what you do, Stuart.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03I'm a brewer. I brew beer.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07A micro... Now, what other things would you brew, I wonder?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Tea?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12See, that's true. But a brewer of tea
0:05:12 > 0:05:14would be somebody who's literally pouring water into a teapot.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Trouble?- Nice.- Trouble brewing.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Nice. Good stuff.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Storms?- Yeah.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21- Could be a storm-brewer.- Yeah.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24I guess you could. But a beer brewer, though.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Beer.- And there's just two of you running the brewery.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- There's two of us doing the brewing. - Oh, doing the brewing. Right.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33There are other people involved, but two main brewers.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36So what's the actual process that you're part of?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Well, you do the whole thing, I guess, do you?
0:05:38 > 0:05:43Yeah. Well, we start out with sort of a quarter of a tonne of grain...
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- Yeah.- ..of malted barley.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46We then have to steep that...
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Yeah.- ..for an hour or so.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Just like making tea. - Yeah, it is like making tea.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Then you have to boil it, for an hour.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57So, more than tea.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59But it's very quick, making beer.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Yeah.- Pour it in, boil it for an hour.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Yeah. There we go. - You go off, come back...
0:06:04 > 0:06:05- Add some hops.- Yeah.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07And then, yeah, you're basically done.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10And then you taste it and mix it and blend it, and all that stuff?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13We taste it sometimes, just to make sure it's OK.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Just to make sure. Then taste it again, just to make doubly...
0:06:16 > 0:06:17And then again...
0:06:17 > 0:06:18- Now, Stuart.- Yes.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21What are you going to go for?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Yeah, so this is tough.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I'm going to go for Denmark.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Denmark, says Stuart.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Denmark. Let's see if that's right,
0:06:28 > 0:06:31let's see how many of our 100 people went for Denmark.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Very well done, 29 for Denmark.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Well played, Stuart. Yeah, ends -RK, you see?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Stuart ends with two consonants, it's got -RT,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- he's rocking an -RT at the end. - He's rocking that.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53- Isn't he?- Yeah. How about that?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55All over that double consonant.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Now, Shelagh.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58A warm welcome to Pointless,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00it's lovely to have you here from Manchester.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03What do you get up to in Manchester, Shelagh, what keeps you busy there?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I'm retired. I'm a retired tax officer.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09I see. OK, and what are your interests, Shelagh?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Manchester City Football Club.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13- Ah.- That's my main interest.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16I've followed them all over the world.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17- Have you?- Yes.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22I've followed them to China, Thailand...
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- erm...- And they haven't shaken you off yet(?)
0:07:25 > 0:07:27No! They'll never shake me off.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29No. I assure you, Richard, no.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Fantastic. Now, Shelagh,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34what would you like to go for? I mean, you've travelled widely,
0:07:34 > 0:07:37so I'm hoping you've maybe been to a country that...
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Well, I've changed my mind several times
0:07:39 > 0:07:42while you've been conversing with the other contestants.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44I hope improving each time, Shelagh.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Well, I don't know. It's a punt.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- Ah.- I had a couple of safe-ish answers...
0:07:51 > 0:07:54but I'm going to go for Lapland.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Lapland, says Shelagh.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Lapland. OK, let's see if that's right,
0:07:58 > 0:08:00let's see how many of our 100 people went for Lapland.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Oh, Shelagh, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:08:08 > 0:08:09scores you 100 points.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Yeah, sorry, Sheila - the good news is
0:08:11 > 0:08:13you've made Mariam and Sarah very happy.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16That's one good thing here. But not a country, Lapland,
0:08:16 > 0:08:17it's part of another country.
0:08:18 > 0:08:23There we are. So, Jill, welcome to Pointless, good to have you here.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- What do you do, Jill? - I'm a physiotherapist.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Is there any particular kind of physiotherapy you specialise in?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I'm a neurological physio,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33so I treat mainly sort of stroke patients,
0:08:33 > 0:08:37multiple sclerosis, head injuries, that type of...condition.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40And what are your interests outside of work?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Erm, we've got two, sort of, almost-teenage boys,
0:08:42 > 0:08:44we've got one 15-year-old,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47one 12-year-old, so they take up quite a bit of our time.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49What is "almost teenage" about that?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Well, because he's 13 in June.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Oh, I see what you mean, yes, exactly.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Erm...- Yeah.- So they take up a lot of our time, and the youngest,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59the one that IS nearly 13, has just started getting into rugby,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02so we've just started going to rugby matches.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05We do follow football and we do follow Manchester City as well.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Oh, phew! I was just going to say.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- Oh!- We thought we were quite big Man City fans until we met Shelagh.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Jill, have you got some good answers up your sleeve?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I've got some answers...
0:09:19 > 0:09:21We'll see whether they're good.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I'm going to go for Egypt.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25That's the one I was thinking of!
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Egypt, says Jill - let's see if that's right,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29let's see how many of our 100 people said Egypt.
0:09:38 > 0:09:4119. Very nicely done indeed, Jill.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Egypt.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Lovely answer, Jill, that ends in four consonants.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49That is quite some going, isn't it?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- Extraordinary, isn't it? - 90% of Egypt is desert.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53And 80% of the word "Egypt" is consonant.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I mean, that's a lot of, er...
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Phew! That's a lot of constants to end with.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02That's a lot of consonants.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- But then Y, there, is a lovely delta. Isn't it?- Yes.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- No, it really is, doing an awful lot of heavy lifting there.- Yeah.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08- Lot of work there.- Yeah.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Yeah. Good.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I've now got to think of another one. Thanks very much.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:15 > 0:10:1719, Jill - very well done indeed,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Jill and Peter, looking very strong at the far end there.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Then 29 - Stuart and Charlotte, likewise.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24And then, yes, we have Daniel on Shelagh,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27and Sarah and Mariam, sharing 100 there.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29So, yes, Mariam and Daniel,
0:10:29 > 0:10:30it's going to be between the pair of you
0:10:30 > 0:10:34to see who stays with us and who leaves at the end of the round, so best of luck.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36We're going to come back down the line now -
0:10:36 > 0:10:38can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Peter. A very warm welcome to Pointless, good to have you here.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46What do you do, Peter?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I'm a freelance graphic designer at the moment,
0:10:49 > 0:10:50and part-time university lecturer.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52And you lecture in design, do you?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Advertising and design.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Yeah.- Oh, that's fun. - Oh, it is.- That's great.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59So your graphic design is very closely linked to advertising.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Oh, yes. Sure.- And had you worked in advertising previously, or...?
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Erm, we touch on advertising in design anyway, so it's kind of...
0:11:05 > 0:11:06It goes hand in hand.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I work mainly on the conceptual side of things for people,
0:11:09 > 0:11:11rather than the actual advertising,
0:11:11 > 0:11:13it's more getting people to develop ideas, etc.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Very good. And how to present them as well.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- Absolutely.- So, Peter, there you are on 19,
0:11:17 > 0:11:20excellent answer from Jill in the first pass.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22So if you can score 80 or less, you're through.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- I'll have a go. - What would you like to go for?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28I would like to go for Luxembourg.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Luxembourg says Peter.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Here comes your red line, nice and high -
0:11:32 > 0:11:35get below that with Luxembourg and you're through.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Very well done.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Good answer, look at that, 9. 28 is your total.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Lovely answer, Peter, very well played.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Ends -RG. You see?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Yes. Yes.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Got an X in it as well. It's unusual.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01In the middle.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- Erm, I've come up with another. - Have you?- Yeah.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Let's see if someone else can find it.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Daniel, maybe it'll be you.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Daniel, welcome to the show, good to have you here.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11What you do, Daniel?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I'm currently an executive chauffeur.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17So I drive around a lot of bigwigs.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Sports stars, people like that.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Band members.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25Do you drive any people that your mother might be a fan of?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I have done in the past, yes, unfortunately.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Do you tell her afterwards, rather than before?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- Yeah. Yeah, generally. - OK. Right you are.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34So, yes, executive driver, that's quite fun.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Usually in the sort of Manchester area, or do you drive...?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40No, nationwide, we do a lot for sports channels
0:12:40 > 0:12:43and different events all over the country, really.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44See, that's quite fun,
0:12:44 > 0:12:46you meet some extraordinary people, I should think.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- Oh, we do.- But, I guess, as an executive chauffeur,
0:12:49 > 0:12:50you can't really...
0:12:50 > 0:12:53You can't really talk about them unless they want to talk to you.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Unfortunately. No, but they are very nice, most of them are.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- Good. I'm glad to hear that. - I like, "Most of them are."
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- Yeah.- There's an awful lot of anecdotes
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- behind that little sentence, isn't there?- Yeah.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Daniel. Now, then. You know what we need.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09There is Mariam, there is you.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11You are vying to stay with us.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Yeah, I've been trying to think outside the box,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I had to go into territory I didn't want to, but erm...
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- Finland.- Finland.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22I'm wondering where your "box" extends to.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- The continent. - Finland is outside it.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Anyhow, let's see - no red line for you as you're joint high-scorers,
0:13:28 > 0:13:31let's see how many of our 100 people went with Finland.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42APPLAUSE
0:13:44 > 0:13:4531, takes your total up to 131.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Yeah. A pretty solid answer. And, Shelagh, that's where Lapland is,
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Lapland is part of Finland, Norway and Sweden.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Thank you very much indeed.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Now, then. Charlotte, welcome back.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Remind us what you do, Charlotte.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I work for a broadcasting company,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03but I've been on maternity leave.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04So when do you go back?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- How long from now?- Next month.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- So two weeks.- Oh, no!
0:14:08 > 0:14:10There was a time when that would have felt like it went on forever.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13I know! Two weeks off, and now it's no time at all.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Presumably it'll be the same personnel in the office, will it,
0:14:15 > 0:14:17they haven't got too many new people you have...?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I think so. I don't know. We'll find out. Be a surprise.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Quite strange, going back in, isn't it?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Yeah.- Oh, but it'll be nice to see everyone.- Yeah.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I've had a nice time being off, and, erm...
0:14:27 > 0:14:30I used to skate with a roller derby team,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33but since being off I've started announcing for them,
0:14:33 > 0:14:35so that's been fun. That's been really good.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Let's just talk about that a minute or two.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Where do you do the announcing?
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Well, it's for Croydon Roller Derby team, and, erm...
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Just for their games, they asked me to do one and it went OK,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48but I took the baby with me,
0:14:48 > 0:14:50which was a bit of a mistake.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53So the next one, baby's staying at home with Stuart.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55So I'm free to announce the roller derby.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57That'll be fantastic. Good stuff.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00OK. Now, Charlotte, there you are - you are through,
0:15:00 > 0:15:03doesn't matter what you score here, but I bet you've got a good answer.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Oh, I don't know about good.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07I've got quite a few safe ones, I think.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09So I think I'll just go for one of those.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11And I'll go with Thailand.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Thailand, says Charlotte - let's see if that's right,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16let's see how many of our 100 people said Thailand.
0:15:25 > 0:15:278.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28APPLAUSE
0:15:29 > 0:15:318, takes you up to 37.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35One of the world's smallest animals, the bumblebee bat,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38is found in Thailand, it's 2 grams.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Weighs 2 grams. Little bat.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- Sweet, isn't it?- That is sweet.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44You find lots of other things in Thailand,
0:15:44 > 0:15:47but that is one thing you will also find.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Yes. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Now, then, Mariam.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- Hello.- Welcome back.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Mariam, you're not looking thrilled with this...
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- No.- ..with this round.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01No. Yeah, I've got a few answers in my head, but like Lapland,
0:16:01 > 0:16:03I'm worried one of my answers is part of a country,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06not actually a country in itself.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Mm. Well, just before we go to that, remind us what you do.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12I'm an English literature and sociology student
0:16:12 > 0:16:13at the University of Leeds.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16That's right, and heavily involved in politics.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17- Yes, I am.- Which you love.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Slightly squeezes the rest of your studies.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Yeah. I've kind of got loads of different passions -
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I enjoy kind of political and social sciences,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26but then I'm also very into humanities,
0:16:26 > 0:16:28which is the reason why I chose my degree.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I like writing in my spare time, as well.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Right. OK.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33What are you writing, a novel, or are you...?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Yeah, I like writing, like, stories and stuff,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37but I'm always too embarrassed to show it to people,
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- I'm nervous about it.- That's the awful thing about writing.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43But actually, remember everybody feels the same about things.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45I mean, extraordinary people say that, you know,
0:16:45 > 0:16:48they're always very nervous about handing stuff over.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- Yeah!- But there you are, on 100.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54131 is the highest score - if you can score 30 or less, Mariam,
0:16:54 > 0:16:55you're into the next round.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57I really don't know. Like, I've got an answer,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59and if it's right I think it might be a low-scorer,
0:16:59 > 0:17:02but I'm worried it's not actually a country in itself.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04So I think I'm going to have to go with a sort-of-obvious one,
0:17:04 > 0:17:06and maybe say Iceland.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Iceland, says Mariam - let's see if Iceland's right,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11There's your red line, Mariam -
0:17:11 > 0:17:14you must get below that to stay with us, so good luck.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Oh, no! 34.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Oh, I thought that was going to get you through.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31134 is your total.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Yeah, that's very unlucky, Mariam.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35What was your other answer going to be?
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- Greenland.- Would have been an incorrect answer, yeah...
0:17:38 > 0:17:40And New Zealand?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42New Zealand would have scored you...
0:17:42 > 0:17:4430 points.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46GROANING
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Can you imagine?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Yeah, no, Greenland is part of Denmark.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Erm... Well, let's go through all of these.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54There's a couple of pointless answers out there -
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- have you got an answer?- Do you know what, I've just realised,
0:17:56 > 0:18:00no, my lovely answer is no longer the name that's...
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Kiribati used to be the Gilbert Islands, didn't it?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04It did, yeah. But no longer.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Yeah, no, the Gilbert Islands, you see, would have been lovely.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Ivory Coast would have been a good answer in the past,
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- but it's now Cote d'Ivoire. - Yeah.- Two pointless answers -
0:18:12 > 0:18:15very well done if you said the Solomon Islands,
0:18:15 > 0:18:16or the Marshall Islands,
0:18:16 > 0:18:18they are both pointless answers.
0:18:18 > 0:18:202 points for Bangladesh.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23You'd have got 6 points for Swaziland, 16 for Hungary.
0:18:23 > 0:18:2619 for Switzerland, our friends in the Netherlands,
0:18:26 > 0:18:28that would have scored you 20 points.
0:18:28 > 0:18:3022 for Poland. Italy, 31.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33And the other two we haven't heard -
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Ireland, of course 42, and Germany, 56.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39So, at the end of our first round,
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I'm sorry to say it is Mariam and Sarah
0:18:41 > 0:18:42we say goodbye to.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Second first round in a row, I'm afraid,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47that we've sent you away from, but it's been lovely having you here,
0:18:47 > 0:18:48albeit briefly each time.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Thanks so much for coming to play, Mariam and Sarah.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52APPLAUSE
0:18:54 > 0:18:57But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04And look at that, suddenly we're down to three pairs.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07At the end of this round we'll be down to two.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Very well done, we made it through the first round.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Charlotte, very well done - Thailand was the best answer of that round.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14Although, in fact, Shelagh,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16you were the first person to mention Thailand,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18cos you said that's where you'd been with Man City,
0:19:18 > 0:19:20you'd followed them to Thailand and China.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Anyway, best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:19:29 > 0:19:30who's going to go second.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34And whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40OK, and the question is all about...
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Songs with "black" in the title. Richard.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47On each board, we're going to show you six UK Top 40 singles,
0:19:47 > 0:19:49with the word "black" in the title.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52We need you to tell us the artist behind each of these singles, please.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54We're going to give you their initials as well.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Lovely. OK, so, we're looking for the artists
0:19:56 > 0:19:59who had hits with these records. Here is our first board of six.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14I'll read those all again.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Stuart?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25See, I know a song called Black Coffee
0:20:25 > 0:20:27and I'm just trying to remember the band.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I know it was singer from the Small Faces.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31I can't remember the name of the band.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36I am going to have to go for Back To Black, Amy Winehouse.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Amy Winehouse says Stuart. Let's see if that's right.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Amy Winehouse.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45It's right.
0:20:48 > 0:20:4954.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51APPLAUSE
0:20:52 > 0:20:5354.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Yeah, number eight hit in 2007 for Amy Winehouse.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Perhaps her best-known song, that. Maybe Rehab, maybe Valerie.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- But a wonderful song.- There we are.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03Thank you, Richard.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Shelagh, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I only know one.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12So, I'll have to go for Black Or White, Michael Jackson.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Michael Jackson, says Shelagh.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Let's see if that's right, for Black Or White.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23It's right. 54 is the high score...
0:21:23 > 0:21:2563 is our new high score.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Well played, Shelagh, the fourth of his seven number-one singles,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- Black Or White. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Now, Peter, this board's all yours. If you felt particularly brave,
0:21:37 > 0:21:41you could go all the way through it and fill in all our blanks.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44You've left me with one that I think I may know.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46I couldn't even imagine any others.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I think the top one is Sam Sparro.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Sam Sparro, Black & Gold.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Sam Sparro.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Erm, I think I got a nod from Jill.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I think. So, we'll see.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00You are either both right or both wrong.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Let's see. Sam Sparro.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04How many of our 100 people said Sam Sparro?
0:22:06 > 0:22:09It's right! It's right.
0:22:09 > 0:22:1063 our high score - passed it.
0:22:10 > 0:22:1254 our low score - you've passed it.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Sam Sparro takes us all the way down to 7.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Look at that! Very well done indeed.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19You see, that is why it's good being on that podium.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Because it does sometimes force you to go for a...
0:22:22 > 0:22:24You'd have gone for an easier one, wouldn't you, otherwise?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I didn't know anything else. I didn't know the others.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- OK, well, 7 for Sam Sparro. - It's a very good answer, yeah,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32a number-two single, Black & Gold, it's a great song as well.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Erm, now, Black Coffee,
0:22:33 > 0:22:37that you were having trouble thinking of, it's All Saints.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39So, perhaps not what you were thinking of.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Eight points for that. A very different song.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Black Magic Woman.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45- Do you know that?- Fleetwood Mac.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46Fleetwood Mac, yeah.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51That's 13 points - and this is a pointless answer, Black Cherry,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53and fans of Goldfrapp,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55very well done.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Goldfrapp is the answer there.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Thank you very much, Richard.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00OK, so, let's take a look at those scores
0:23:00 > 0:23:02before we come back down the line.
0:23:02 > 0:23:047, Peter, the best score of that pass, very well done indeed.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Jill and Peter looking pretty safe at this point.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08But then it gets very exciting,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10we've got Stuart and Charlotte on 54
0:23:10 > 0:23:11and then Daniel and Shelagh on 63,
0:23:11 > 0:23:13quite close there.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15So, yes, let's see what happens in the next pass.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Best of luck. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Can the second players, please, step up to the podium.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24OK, well, let's put six more songs
0:23:24 > 0:23:26that feature the word "black" in the title up on the board.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28And here they are...
0:23:40 > 0:23:42I'm going to read all of those again.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Jill, ideally you would score 55 or less
0:23:56 > 0:23:58to be sure of a place in the next round.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02I'm going to go for Black Eyed Boy, and I think that's Texas.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03Texas, says Jill.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Here is your red line.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07If you can come below that with Texas,
0:24:07 > 0:24:09you're definitely in the head-to-head.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10Let's see who said Texas.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16You've done it!
0:24:18 > 0:24:20By a margin - look at that, 22.
0:24:20 > 0:24:2329 is your total. Very well done.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27They are clever on that last podium, aren't they?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Yeah. That's a very good answer, from the White On Blonde album.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Thank you very much, Richard.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Now, Daniel. Daniel, you are our high-scorers,
0:24:35 > 0:24:37we need a low score from you.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Yeah, I could play it safe, I've got an idea of one
0:24:40 > 0:24:43but I'm going to have to take a guess, erm...
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Supermassive Black Hole,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Metallica.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48Metallica, says Daniel.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50No red line for you, as you're the highest-scorers.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Let's see how far down the column we get with Metallica,
0:24:53 > 0:24:54if it's right.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59Daniel, bad luck.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02I'm afraid that scores you 100 points
0:25:02 > 0:25:03and takes your total up to 163.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06It did genuinely sound so much like a Metallica song, doesn't it?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Supermassive Black Hole, so it's a very good guess,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- but wrong, I'm afraid.- Thanks, Rich.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Now, Charlotte, good news - you are in the head-to-head.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16It doesn't matter what you do.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17But actually, I happen to think
0:25:17 > 0:25:19you're going to know a number of these.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21No, I only... I know two.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24I know Men In Black was Will Smith
0:25:24 > 0:25:27and Paint It Black was the Rolling Stones.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30And I don't have a clue on the others.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32So, I'll go for the Rolling Stones.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33OK, the Rolling Stones, says Charlotte.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35No red line - you're already through.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Let's see how many of our 100 people said the Rolling Stones.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41It's right.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Not bad. 32.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Taking your total up to 86.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Yes, and a better choice than Will Smith as well,
0:25:52 > 0:25:55which was right but it's a big scorer.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Will Smith scores you...
0:25:58 > 0:25:5969, for Men In Black.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Now, Supermassive Black Hole, not Metallica -
0:26:02 > 0:26:04almost as loud, it's Muse.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Muse is the answer there, would have scored 17.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Now, Black Magic down the bottom,
0:26:10 > 0:26:11is Little Mix.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Little Mix would have scored 13.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16The best answer on the board, another very loud band -
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Black Chandelier, by Biffy Clyro.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21And that would have scored 1. So, very well done if you said that.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our second round,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27the pair we're sending home with their high score of 163,
0:26:27 > 0:26:29it's Daniel and Shelagh.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Yes, Supermassive Black Hole, as Richard said -
0:26:31 > 0:26:33I mean, so nearly right there.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35But not, I'm afraid, this time.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37However, we'll see you again next time,
0:26:37 > 0:26:39and I'm sure you'll go even further then.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41But in the meantime, thanks very much for playing.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Daniel and Shelagh!
0:26:43 > 0:26:45APPLAUSE
0:26:45 > 0:26:48But, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Congratulations, Peter and Jill, Charlotte and Stuart.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57You are now one step closer to the final
0:26:57 > 0:26:59and the chance to play for our jackpot,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02which currently stands at £3,000.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04APPLAUSE
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Well, here we are, in the head-to-head,
0:27:07 > 0:27:09which means you can confer before you give your answers.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14Oh, it's a North versus South.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18The Watford Gap running right between those two podiums!
0:27:18 > 0:27:20I think this could be very exciting indeed.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23We've had some great answers from both pairs.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Lovely low-scoring from you, Peter and Jill, in particular.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Here is your first question.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37And our first question this afternoon concerns...
0:27:42 > 0:27:45We're going to show you five pictures now,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48famous people with those initials, can you identify the most obscure?
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Thanks very much. Let's show our five pictures - and here they come.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54We've got...
0:28:19 > 0:28:20There we go.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Five people with the initials MR.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Now, Peter and Jill, you've been our low-scorers so far,
0:28:26 > 0:28:27so you will go first.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29- Do you want to do that?- Yeah.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31- Are you sure?- No...
0:28:31 > 0:28:34THEY CONFER
0:28:36 > 0:28:38We think we know most of them.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41I think we're going to go for C, and we think that's Mark Radcliffe.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Mark Radcliffe, say Peter and Jill.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Mark Radcliffe. Now then, Charlotte and Stuart.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49You can do your chatting out loud if you like now.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Yes, OK.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54So, I think Mike Read, A.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56I think B is Mark Ronson.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59D is Molly Ringwald.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01And we think we know E, but we can't remember the name.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05No, I think she played Queen Elizabeth in Blackadder II.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Yeah. Molly Ringwald?
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Do you think? Yeah, yeah.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11D, Molly Ringwald.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Molly Ringwald say Charlotte and Stuart.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15OK, so in the order they were given,
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Peter and Jill went for Mark Radcliffe for C.
0:29:17 > 0:29:18Let's see if that's right.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Let's see how many of our 100 went Mark Radcliffe.
0:29:24 > 0:29:25Is right.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Look at that! 7 for Mark Radcliffe.
0:29:33 > 0:29:34Very well done.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39Oh, that's a good answer from the northern team there.
0:29:39 > 0:29:40Mark Radcliffe.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Now, Charlotte and Stuart have gone Molly Ringwald for D.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Let's see if that's right,
0:29:44 > 0:29:46let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50It is Molly Ringwald.
0:29:56 > 0:29:5915! Not bad.
0:29:59 > 0:30:00But, Peter and Jill, very well done -
0:30:00 > 0:30:02after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Yeah, those are the best two answers on the board as well.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06So, well played, both teams there.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08You couldn't have done anything about Mark Radcliffe,
0:30:08 > 0:30:10it was the best answer.
0:30:10 > 0:30:11You're right about Mike Read.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Let's see what Mike would have scored.
0:30:14 > 0:30:1645.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Mark Ronson, would have scored 31.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22And the last one on the board,
0:30:22 > 0:30:24you're absolutely right about who it is -
0:30:24 > 0:30:25Miranda Richardson, 19 points.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27There we are, thank you very much, Richard.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29So, here comes your second question.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Charlotte and Stuart, you get to answer this one first,
0:30:31 > 0:30:34but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Our second question this afternoon is about...
0:30:40 > 0:30:42We'll show you the names of five chefs now
0:30:42 > 0:30:43who have been awarded Michelin stars.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45We've removed alternate letters from their names.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Can you let us know who they are?
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five chefs.
0:30:50 > 0:30:51And here they are...
0:30:52 > 0:30:54We've got...
0:31:08 > 0:31:09I'll read those again.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Charlotte and Stuart, it's over to you first.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25The bottom one's Heston Blumenthal.
0:31:25 > 0:31:26Yeah.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37OK, we're going to go for Raymond Blanc.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Raymond Blanc.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Raymond Blanc, there at the top.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Now, Peter and Jill, do you fancy talking us through that board?
0:31:44 > 0:31:45- Do you want me to answer?- Yeah.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Raymond Blanc at the top, obviously.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Gordon Ramsay. Erm, who did you say?
0:31:51 > 0:31:54The bottom one's Heston Blumenthal.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56I don't know the middle one.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- We're going to go for Tom Kerridge. - Tom Kerridge, say Peter and Jill.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02We have Raymond Blanc and we have Tom Kerridge.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03Now then, Charlotte and Stuart -
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Raymond Blanc, let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11It's right.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Good answer. 17 for Raymond Blanc.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Peter and Jill, meanwhile, have gone for Tom Kerridge,
0:32:24 > 0:32:26one up from the bottom. Let's see if that's right.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Let's see how many of our 100 people said Tom Kerridge.
0:32:31 > 0:32:32Again, it's right.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37It's going to be close, this.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Oh, look at that, you've won it! 13, Tom Kerridge!
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Very well done. Peter and Jill, that means, after only two questions,
0:32:44 > 0:32:46you are through to the final, 2-0.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49That was very well played, yeah, both got two Michelin stars,
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Raymond Blanc and Tom Kerridge.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53I love, actually, both of them, I love both of them on television.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56They're both naturals, aren't they, in very different ways.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00- Yeah.- Tom Kerridge is great on TV. - He's great, Tom. Yeah.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Have you ever eaten at his restaurant?
0:33:02 > 0:33:04- I haven't, no.- Have you not?
0:33:04 > 0:33:05I imagine it's, like, tasty.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- I bet he's good.- Well, I would think - it's got two Michelin stars.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11I bet he does a good steak and chips.
0:33:11 > 0:33:12- Ah.- Actually, do you know what,
0:33:12 > 0:33:14I bet he DOES do a good steak and chips!
0:33:14 > 0:33:16I bet he does. I mean it's a big restaurant,
0:33:16 > 0:33:17his microwave must be huge.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19It must be really, really big. Do you know what?
0:33:19 > 0:33:22I've heard Tom Kerridge is such a good chef
0:33:22 > 0:33:25he doesn't even have pictures of the food on the menu.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26That's how good that guy is.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Erm, let's fill in the rest of these, shall we?
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Gordon Ramsay is a big scorer.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Gordon Ramsay would score you 50 points.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37He's had three Michelin stars before, Gordon Ramsay,
0:33:37 > 0:33:39as has the bottom answer there,
0:33:39 > 0:33:40Heston Blumenthal.
0:33:42 > 0:33:4448 points. Someone said the other day,
0:33:44 > 0:33:47if I was a chef, I'd be Heston Blumen-TALL.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50That's nice, isn't it? The best answer on the board,
0:33:50 > 0:33:53he's got a Michelin star down in Jersey,
0:33:53 > 0:33:55and it's Shaun Rankin.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56Very well done if you said Shaun Rankin.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- Three points for that. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02So, the pair leaving us at the end the head-to-head round -
0:34:02 > 0:34:03I'm sorry, Charlotte and Stuart.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05You made it into the head-to-head,
0:34:05 > 0:34:07which is good - one better than last time.
0:34:07 > 0:34:08But it's still one too soon to be fun, though,
0:34:08 > 0:34:10it would've been nice to have had you for the final.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12But this is where the road ends, I'm afraid,
0:34:12 > 0:34:16but thanks very much for playing. Charlotte and Stuart.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20But for Peter and Jill, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26Congratulations, Peter and Jill.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28You fought off the competition
0:34:28 > 0:34:31and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £3,000.
0:34:43 > 0:34:44APPLAUSE
0:34:46 > 0:34:48See, that's quite an exciting jackpot.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51I think... I think we've tested you fairly well.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54We had our double-consonant-ending countries,
0:34:54 > 0:34:56we had songs with "black" in the title,
0:34:56 > 0:34:58we had people whose initials are MR,
0:34:58 > 0:35:00and we finished off with chefs!
0:35:00 > 0:35:02It certainly made my mouth water anyway.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Anything you'd particularly like to see come up in this last round?
0:35:06 > 0:35:07What's going to be your...?
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Tennis might be quite nice for me.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13Any sport, really. TV, films.
0:35:13 > 0:35:14OK, very good. Well, you know what it's like.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Four things go up there and, initially,
0:35:16 > 0:35:18quite often, your heart sinks.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20But there's usually something behind one of those
0:35:20 > 0:35:23that sort of just softens the blow a little bit.
0:35:23 > 0:35:24Let's hope it's something you like.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Today's selection looks a bit like this...
0:35:34 > 0:35:38- What do you think?- Sporting "32s" could be scores, obviously.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40- Shall we go for sport? - Then we both...
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Films with geographical titles would be...
0:35:43 > 0:35:46- That'd be quite... - OK.- Yeah?
0:35:46 > 0:35:47That's on you.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52OK, I think so. But, well... You...
0:35:52 > 0:35:53No, no, no. Go for it. Go for it.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57Films with geographically... something whatnot. There we are.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01All right, brilliant, Films With Geographically Titled...
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Titles. There we go!
0:36:03 > 0:36:05- Richard.- OK, very best of luck.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07We're looking for anybody with an acting credit
0:36:07 > 0:36:10in any of the following three films, please, according to IMDB.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13We're looking for anyone who appeared in Out Of Africa,
0:36:13 > 0:36:16anyone who appeared in Sleepless In Seattle,
0:36:16 > 0:36:20or anybody who appeared in The Last King Of Scotland.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21So, anyone credited on IMDb
0:36:21 > 0:36:23with appearing in any of those three films.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:36:28 > 0:36:29to come up with three answers.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31All you need, to win that £3,000 jackpot,
0:36:31 > 0:36:34is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35- Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- OK.- I just know the obvious at the moment.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46Out Of Africa is obviously Robert...
0:36:46 > 0:36:47- Redford.- Robert Redford.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49And...Meryl Streep.
0:36:49 > 0:36:50I don't know anybody else.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54Anybody around that era that we can just sneak into there?
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Sleepless In Seattle -
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, anybody else about...?
0:37:00 > 0:37:04- I don't know... Last King Of Scotland.- Just James McAvoy?
0:37:04 > 0:37:05- That was it, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Anybody else who could have been in there?
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- Mackenzie Crook, someone like that? - We could say that, yeah.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13Anybody else?
0:37:13 > 0:37:15I think that's the one that probably...
0:37:17 > 0:37:20So, Last King Of Scotland, we'll...
0:37:20 > 0:37:23We'll go James McAvoy. Anybody else?
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Do you want to go Mackenzie Crook, and just put that in?
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Yeah, he was in something like that.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- I don't know.- Ten seconds left.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Jim Broadbent.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33I don't know.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41OK, that is your time up, I'm sorry to say.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Let's have some answers from you, three answers.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- What are you going to go for?- Right, so, to maybe get a right answer,
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- we'll go James McAvoy.- James McAvoy.
0:37:50 > 0:37:51And then we're just going to guess a couple.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54We know the obvious ones out of the other two,
0:37:54 > 0:37:56but they're not going to be pointless,
0:37:56 > 0:37:58so we'll go for Mackenzie Crook.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- Mackenzie Crook. - And who else do you want to go for?
0:38:01 > 0:38:02- I'd say Jim Broadbent. - Jim Broadbent.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04OK, Jim Broadbent.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- In which category, just so we...? - All in The Last King Of Scotland.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08All in The Last King Of Scotland, OK.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- I would say...- The best shot is...
0:38:13 > 0:38:15For a pointless, I think Jim Broadband.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- If it was correct.- OK, Jim Broadbent, we'll put last,
0:38:17 > 0:38:21- and least likely to be pointless? - We'll go...- James McAvoy.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- James McAvoy.- James McAvoy first. And then Mackenzie Crook.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order then.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29And here they are. We've got...
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Well, very, very best of luck. Three answers you've come up with.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37We know one of them's right.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39The other two, extremely educated guesses, I have to say,
0:38:39 > 0:38:42and one of these days an educated guess is going to...
0:38:42 > 0:38:43Well, I'm sure it's happened in the past -
0:38:43 > 0:38:46an educated guess must have won the jackpot.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49If that were to happen today and you were to leave here with £3,000,
0:38:49 > 0:38:52what would you do with it? Peter, you first.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Well, we're just currently having some work done on the house,
0:38:55 > 0:38:57so I think we'll rest easy at paying that,
0:38:57 > 0:38:58that shouldn't be a problem.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02And, like Jill mentioned, we'll probably...
0:39:02 > 0:39:05We're debating whether to go to the O2 to watch the tennis,
0:39:05 > 0:39:07because Jill's a big tennis fan as well.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09So that probably would be a definite.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Fantastic. Jill, anything you'd want to add to that?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14We'll have to treat the children!
0:39:14 > 0:39:16- Obviously.- They can have some sweets, they'll be fine.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- Absolutely fine.- I won't state what we're going to treat them to, but, you know...
0:39:19 > 0:39:23OK, well, best of luck, as I say. James McAvoy was your first answer.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25In all these cases, we're looking for cast members
0:39:25 > 0:39:27of The Last King Of Scotland.
0:39:27 > 0:39:28Only one of these has to be pointless
0:39:28 > 0:39:30for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32So, for £3,000, let's put James McAvoy to the test.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Is it pointless? If this goes all the way down the column,
0:39:35 > 0:39:38you leave here with £3,000.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46Well, James McAvoy is right, as you knew he would be.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48James McAvoy now taking us down through the 30s,
0:39:48 > 0:39:50into the 20s, into the teens
0:39:50 > 0:39:51still going down...
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Oh, 12. Not bad, not bad at all.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00You'd be pleased with that score at any other stage of Pointless.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Sadly, in this round, we are only interested in pointless answers.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05So you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08We now leave the slightly firmer territory
0:40:08 > 0:40:10of things you know to be right
0:40:10 > 0:40:12and we go into conjecture here.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16But both of them perfectly feasible, plausible answers.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Mackenzie Crook was your next answer.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Really, what we have to find out here is whether or not it's right,
0:40:21 > 0:40:24and then if it is right and it's pointless, you'll win £3,000.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26How many people said Mackenzie Crook?
0:40:26 > 0:40:27Is it right?
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Bad luck. A good punt and definitely worth doing.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37But, I'm afraid, an incorrect answer.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Which means everything is now riding
0:40:39 > 0:40:41on the broader shoulders of Jim Broadbent.
0:40:41 > 0:40:42Your third and final answer.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Wouldn't he be brilliant in that film?
0:40:44 > 0:40:46- I think so!- He would, he would.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48- Probably in there. - He's been in everything,
0:40:48 > 0:40:49so he's got to have been in this.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51It has to be right, obviously.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Then it has to be pointless for you to win.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57So, for £3,000, let's see what happens when we say Jim Broadbent.
0:40:59 > 0:41:00No, bad luck!
0:41:03 > 0:41:04Bad luck!
0:41:06 > 0:41:10Well, as quite often happens, that was quite a tough board,
0:41:10 > 0:41:13quite a tough category for you to choose from, those four, I think.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15But you did it, and you made a valiant attempt
0:41:15 > 0:41:17at getting three answers there.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20I'm sorry you didn't manage to win, you didn't find a pointless answer,
0:41:20 > 0:41:24so I'm afraid that jackpot remains unwon for this day.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27That £3,000 will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:27 > 0:41:28But it has been wonderful having you here.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30I'm sorry it's only been one show.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32- That's all right. - But you have done brilliantly,
0:41:32 > 0:41:35and you get to take home a Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38APPLAUSE
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Yeah, it's been lovely to meet you, and very well played indeed.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44I'll take you through some pointless answers here,
0:41:44 > 0:41:46and hopefully none of them will be too familiar.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49We'll start with Out Of Africa. Very unusual board, this.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Graham Crowden, that we know best from Waiting For God.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Iman, as well, was a pointless answer,
0:41:53 > 0:41:56and Leslie Phillips. Imagine the two of them together on set!
0:41:56 > 0:41:59- No, I can't really... - That must have been a lot of fun.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Michael Kitchen, who perhaps we know best over here from Foyle's War.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Everybody in that film - everybody - was a pointless answer,
0:42:04 > 0:42:06apart from Meryl Streep and Robert Redford.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Everybody else is a pointless answer.
0:42:08 > 0:42:09Some amazing names on that list.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Now, the cast of Sleepless In Seattle.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Bill Pullman was a pointless answer.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17David Hyde Pierce, who we know better as Niles in Frasier.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Frances Conroy.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Rita Wilson, who, of course, is married to Tom Hanks,
0:42:21 > 0:42:23star of Sleepless In Seattle.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26The only people who scored in that film were Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan,
0:42:26 > 0:42:29both big scorers, Rosie O'Donnell and Ross Malinger.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31They were also scoring answers.
0:42:31 > 0:42:32Everyone else was pointless.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34And The Last King Of Scotland.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39Barbara Rafferty. David Oyelowo was a pointless answer.
0:42:39 > 0:42:40Giles Foden, who wrote the book,
0:42:40 > 0:42:43and plays a very small part as a journalist in the film as well.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Sometimes with those book adaptations
0:42:45 > 0:42:46it's worth saying the author,
0:42:46 > 0:42:49because they quite often pop up, don't they, in a little cameo.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51And Kerry Washington, who is in Django Unchained,
0:42:51 > 0:42:52amongst many other things.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54The only scoring answers there were Forest Whitaker,
0:42:54 > 0:42:56James McAvoy and Gillian Anderson.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Very well done if you got a pointless answer at home,
0:42:59 > 0:43:00and unlucky in the studio.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Thanks, Richard. Well, sadly, Peter and Jill
0:43:02 > 0:43:04didn't win our jackpot today,
0:43:04 > 0:43:06which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:43:06 > 0:43:08when we will be playing for £4,000.
0:43:08 > 0:43:09There it is.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:13 > 0:43:14Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
0:43:14 > 0:43:18- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me - goodbye.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21APPLAUSE
