0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:23 > 0:00:26and welcome to Pointless, the game where we aim for the obscure
0:00:26 > 0:00:28and we ignore the obvious.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Hi, I'm Felix. This is Dom. And we are from Camden.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Couple number two.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Hi, I'm Ruaridh and this is my girlfriend, Emma,
0:00:41 > 0:00:42and we've come from Edinburgh.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Couple number three.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Danny and this is my sister, Jennifer, and we're from London.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48And finally, couple number four.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Mike. This is my dad, Jim.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Jim's from Preston in Lancashire and I'm from Rossendale.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54And these are today's contestants.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56APPLAUSE
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Thanks very much to all of you. A very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01We'll get to chat to each of you
0:01:01 > 0:01:02throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Hoping for some lovely low scores on his very tall doors -
0:01:08 > 0:01:12it's my pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Hiya. Hey, everybody.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Good afternoon to you all.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Good afternoon to you.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- And to you.- What a finish we had in that last show, didn't we?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Danny and Jennifer got through to that head-to-head.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- Good head-to-head, 2-1 it was. So it was very, very close.- Yeah.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28But they got knocked out by Sam and Dan,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31cos Dan came up with a pointless answer in the head-to-head,
0:01:31 > 0:01:33which is very rare. He came up with a tasselled wobbegong,
0:01:33 > 0:01:38which is a shark. We all know that now.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42And then got through to the jackpot round and smashed that as well,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45didn't they? On infantry regiments. Very, very impressive.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47But Danny and Jennifer, we welcome back.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48And three new pairs as well.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- I've got a good vibe going up and down the line.- I think so.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Don't you think?- Yeah. I think so. - I think they're a good bunch.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56I think we've got a good gang here. I think, if it goes well today,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58let's just keep these eight on for the rest of the...
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Don't you think?- We could do that.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02It'd be kind of nice, wouldn't it? Everyone would get to know them.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- It'd be a bit like Take Me Out. - Oh, that be nice. Yeah.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07You know, you just get to know the people.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10They stay on for week after week.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- Very nice.- We'll see. We may change our mind.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14We might. We might. But thank you very much.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Sam and Dan, as you've gathered, won the jackpot last time,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23There it is. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32The one rule you have to remember is this, and only this.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34The pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:34 > 0:02:37will be eliminated, so try and do everything you can
0:02:37 > 0:02:38to make sure that's not you.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40No conferring for the first two rounds, obviously.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Our first category this afternoon...
0:02:43 > 0:02:45..is Science.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Science. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:02:47 > 0:02:49who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:02:56 > 0:03:02Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:03:06 > 0:03:07..as they could.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Chemical elements that appear alphabetically
0:03:09 > 0:03:11between copper and tin.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Richard.- Yeah, simply looking for any element on the periodic table
0:03:14 > 0:03:16as of February 2016, please,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19that's alphabetically between copper and tin.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- Very best of luck. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23- Dom, a warm welcome to Pointless. - Hello.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Good to have you here. What do you do, Dom?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Well, I am... I would like to call myself a writer, really,
0:03:28 > 0:03:32but unfortunately, having sold very little or nothing so far,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- I work with this guy. - No, but that would be a seller,
0:03:34 > 0:03:35if you're just selling things.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38You're a writer. Have you finished some things? Yes.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- And published some things. - Yes, well, yes,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- I actually have finished one thing. - What sort of things do you write?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Well, I'd like to be a screenwriter, ideally,
0:03:45 > 0:03:49but I'm trying to write things in a sort of novelistic form first
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- and then...- OK.- ..rework it.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53OK. Or you could always do it the other way around.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Or do you think it's easier to get...?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Rather more complicated that way, the structure and stuff.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58I suppose. Have you done screenwriting courses
0:03:58 > 0:04:00and things like that?
0:04:00 > 0:04:01I've done quite a bit of reading
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- and I'm hoping to be joining a course quite shortly.- Very good.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Good for you. Now, Dom, how are we feeling about chemical elements?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10There could be better subjects for me,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13but I'm going to go with lithium.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14Lithium, says Dom.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Lithium. Let's see how many of our 100 people said, lithium.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21It's right.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27It's a good answer, Dom.
0:04:27 > 0:04:3012. Very well done indeed. That gets us off to a very good start.
0:04:30 > 0:04:3212 for lithium.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Yeah, lithium, atomic number 3.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Which would be a very, very good name for a screenplay, by the way.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Atomic Number 3!
0:04:41 > 0:04:42- Noted.- I'm already interested.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43So am I.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46I wonder what's going to happen.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Sorry, what, you say Bradley Cooper is in it?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Hang on, Dom's got to write the book first.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Let's not hold our breath. - Well, Bradley Cooper is impatient.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- That's true.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58There we are. Thank you, Richard. Now, then, Ruaridh.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59A very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Good to have you here from Edinburgh. What do you do, Ruaridh?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I'm training to be an accountant at the moment.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05How far are you into your training?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Not particularly far. I'm six months
0:05:07 > 0:05:09and it takes three years, so, yeah,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- just starting out. - Oh, it's a marathon, isn't it?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15How are we feeling about the accountancy at this stage, though?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I don't mind it, yeah. I'm surviving so far.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Very good. OK, what do you like doing
0:05:20 > 0:05:22when you're not working on your accountancy?
0:05:22 > 0:05:23I'm very into my sports.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26I quite like cycling, playing tennis, playing football.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- That sort of thing. - Very good indeed.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Now, Ruaridh, chemistry.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32I mean, I did chemistry at school,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35so hopefully I'll remember some things from that.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37At Higher level, or...?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Not higher than school but, yeah, I did Higher chemistry at school.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42You did. No, I was showing off that I knew the Scottish...
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- I wasn't sure.- Yeah. Higher. You did a Higher...
0:05:45 > 0:05:46- Yeah.- ..in chemistry.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- I did my Higher chemistry. - Very good.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51So, we're expecting great things from you here, Ruaridh.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54I'm going to go for neptunium.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Oh, he DID do his Higher, didn't he?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Look at that. Neptunium, says Ruaridh.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Let's see if it's right.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Let's see how many of our 100 people said, neptunium.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07It's right.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Our only score at this point is 12.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12I suspect neptunium might go...
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Yeah, and it does. Look at that.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Down to pointless.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18There we go. Very, very well done indeed, Ruaridh.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21That's a pointless answer. It adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24takes our total up to £1,250.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26It scores you nothing
0:06:26 > 0:06:29and earns you our eternal respect, so there you are.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30- Well done.- Brilliant work, Ruaridh.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Yeah, it's very much the tasselled wobbegong of the elements.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34LAUGHTER
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Neptunium. A lot of people think it's named after the planet Neptune.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- And it is. - LAUGHTER
0:06:41 > 0:06:42There we are. Thank you very much.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- A lot of people are clever, aren't they?- Yes, they are.- Yeah.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Thanks, Richard. Jennifer, welcome back.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Remind us what you do.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53I'm a relationship manager in financial markets.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55What are your interests, Jennifer?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Travelling. And I do some running as well.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Travelling. But you said last time that you're a very keen...
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- You like to go off and drive. You like driving off.- Yes.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Do you know where you're going when you're driving
0:07:05 > 0:07:08or do you just set off and see where you end up?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10We kind of aim for a continent.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13LAUGHTER
0:07:13 > 0:07:14That's a good destination, isn't it?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- Yeah.- Yeah. Er... Yeah.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Type that into a sat nav.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Yeah. "I think Central America."
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Jennifer, what would you like to go for?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I think I'll say sulphur.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Sulphur, says Jennifer.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Let's see how many of our 100 people said, sulphur.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40Look at that.
0:07:40 > 0:07:427. Between our scores.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Great answer, Jennifer. Of course, officially spelt S-U-L-F-U-R now.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- Yes.- We have to keep banging on about that.- Yeah, we have to.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- People don't like it. - No, they don't like it.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- But that's official. That's... - That's how it is.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02..the official English language spelling of sulphur.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Nothing we can do about it.- You can still use the "PH" in, erm...
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Scrabble and stuff like that, don't worry, that hasn't disappeared.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10But if you're a chemist, it's an F.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- It's an F now.- And if you use PH, you get an F.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14LAUGHTER
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Thanks very much, Richard.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Jim, a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24- What do you do, Jim?- I've been retired for quite a long while.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26And what did you do, Jim?
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Er...
0:08:27 > 0:08:30After leaving in the air force, I became a bobby.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Oh, he's got a great voice, Jim.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36One of the best voices we've had for a long time on Pointless.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37Jim can be one of our regulars.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- He can.- I think.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Oh, but you can.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42How long were you a bobby for?
0:08:42 > 0:08:4426 and a half years.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Oh, wouldn't you want Jim on your beat?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Wouldn't you?- Well, me? Me, I wouldn't,
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- because I'm a criminal.- You're a professional criminal, of course.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55It would be... The last thing I'd want is Jim around.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57I'll have you on our side, Richard, believe you me.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Yeah, that's true, I'd probably get turned, yes.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- I believe that.- Yeah.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Jim, how do you enjoy your retirement?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05What sort of things you like to fill it with?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Well, I... I walk every week.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Er... I'm a toastmaster, hence the voice.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14That's fun. Do you wear the full red regalia?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I wear the full red tail coat.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- That's exciting. - And all the other bits and pieces.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22OK. Now, so, Jim...
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Jim, what are you going to go for?
0:09:25 > 0:09:29We've had quite a range of scores from 12, down to nothing.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Curium.- Curium, says Jim.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Curium. Let's see how many of our 100 people said curium.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39It's right.
0:09:39 > 0:09:4212 is still our high score.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Zero is our low score.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45You pass the high score.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Oh! Just above the lower one.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Very well done indeed, Jim.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Curium.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51It's a good answer.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54That's another very good answer.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Very strong work from everybody there. Well played, Jim. Curium.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59There we are. We're halfway through the round,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02so let's take a look at the scores as they stand. Well done, Ruaridh.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Zero the best score of the pass,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06putting Ruaridh and Emma at the top of our table.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07And then along to one,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09where we find Jim and Mike.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Up to seven, Jennifer and Danny.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13And then up to 12, Dom and Felix.
0:10:13 > 0:10:1612! I thought that was a lovely low score but it seems not
0:10:16 > 0:10:19in this context. So, Felix, a little bit of pressure on you.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- Fine by me.- I hope you got a good answer. Good luck.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22We're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Mike, a very warm welcome to you to Pointless.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32What do you do up in Lancashire?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I'm a manager in a health care charity.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Very good indeed. And what are your hobbies?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I like to get out and about quite a lot. I like mountain biking.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44So, yes, up in the hills and valleys of Rossendale.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Very... Oh, Rossendale sounds lovely.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- It does sound nice.- Doesn't that sound good?- I've not been.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- No, nor have I.- You should try it. - I will. I'm very tempted.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Yes.- And what else, Mike?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Well, I'm into my cars as well. I'm quite into classic cars.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- I've had a few over the years. - What do you have at the moment?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I've got a Jeep at the moment, actually.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03It's not that classic. But I did have an old Alfa Romeo,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06which was a bit of a banger, to be honest.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09It didn't go for very long, but it looked nice.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Oh, on the side of the road.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Yes. In the garage.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Yeah. So, Mike, there you are on one.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17The high scorers, Felix and Dom, on 12.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22If you can score ten or less, through you go to Round Two.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24I'm going to go fairly safe and say magnesium.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26OK. Magnesium.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27Magnesium. Here is your red line.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29If you can get below this red line,
0:11:29 > 0:11:31you are definitely into the next round.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33It's not the end of the world if you don't go below it,
0:11:33 > 0:11:34but good if you end up quite close to it.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Let's see how far down the column we get with magnesium.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41It's right.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Oh, that's not bad.
0:11:45 > 0:11:4824. 24, Mike.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I think you've done yourself a favour there.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I think you've kept yourself in the game, we shall see.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Yeah, very interesting second pass now.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Yes, it's born in the stars, magnesium, when two other elements,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01whose names I won't mention because they're both good answers
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- to this one, they fuse at extreme temperatures.- OK, thank you.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Now, Danny, welcome back.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Remind us what you do, Danny.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12I work for the London underground Northern Line control centre team.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15In arguably one of the best jobs ever.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- In the control centre of the Northern Line.- Yes.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Great fun. So, I mean, what did you do before that?
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Have you worked on the underground before that as well or...?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27No, I've been working on the Tube for about nine years now,
0:12:27 > 0:12:29coming up to my tenth year,
0:12:29 > 0:12:31and before that, I was working in a bank.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Right. OK. Which do you prefer?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Oh, much, much, much prefer what I'm doing now.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- That's why I left the bank.- Right.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Excellent. What a fun job to be doing.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41OK, so, now, Danny, there you are.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44The high scorers are behind you, Mike and Jim, on 25.
0:12:44 > 0:12:4717 or less get you through.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Yeah, I'm going to go for...
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- copernicium.- Copernicium says Dan.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Copernicium. There is your red line, Danny.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Copernicium has to get you below that red line
0:12:59 > 0:13:00to keep you in the game.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Let's see how many of our 100 people said copernicium. Is it right?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Oh! You've had a pointless brain freeze there, Danny.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12I know that feeling very well.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14It happens to me all the time.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I'm afraid that scores you 100 points,
0:13:17 > 0:13:18takes your total up to 107.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Yeah, sorry, Danny. C-O-P-E.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25Copernicium. So, it's before copper in alphabetical order, I'm afraid.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28OK. Now, Emma, welcome to Pointless.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Good to have you here from Edinburgh.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- What do you do? - I'm the same as Ruaridh.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33I'm also training to be an accountant.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Did you meet on the accountancy course?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- No, we met at uni.- And then went on the same accountancy course?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- Pretty much. - That's nice. Very nice indeed.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43And are you enjoying it as much as Ruaridh is?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I think I enjoy it more.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46Oh, right, OK.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49What are your interests outside of the world of accounting?
0:13:49 > 0:13:53I like to ski. I'm also trying to learn to cook at the moment.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- Do you ever go and ski up in Scotland?- Yeah.- Go up to Glenshee.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Yeah, Glenshee and up to the Cairngorms sometimes.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Yes. Wonderful.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02OK, now, there you are.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03You are on a pointless answer.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04Doesn't matter what you score.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08What would you like to go for, bearing that in mind?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Maybe there's another pointless answer in there.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11Be quite nice if you could...
0:14:11 > 0:14:14If you could join Ruaridh down there, wouldn't it?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16I'm going to take a bit of a guess at one.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- Mendelevium?- Mendelevium.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Let's see if it's right. It's a great answer if it is.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Let's see. No red line.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26You're already through. But how many of our 100 people said mendelevium?
0:14:28 > 0:14:29It's right.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32It's right. Might we be adding to the jackpot, I wonder, with this?
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Mendelevium.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Oh, 2!
0:14:39 > 0:14:412 for mendelevium,
0:14:41 > 0:14:43taking your total up to 2.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Very well played, Emma.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Yeah, atomic number 101, which is an even better name for a screenplay.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Thank you, Richard.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Now, Felix, welcome to Pointless.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Great to have you here. What do you do, Felix?
0:14:55 > 0:14:57I run a small coffee and smoothie van.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00See, that's fun. A mobile cafe kind of thing.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Yeah, pretty much. - How long have you been doing that?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04It's just coming up on a year now.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05- Brilliant.- Just done last summer
0:15:05 > 0:15:07and we're getting ready for next summer now.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Now, the trouble is with that, you're going to be as busy
0:15:09 > 0:15:12as you want to be because there will always be people wanting to buy...
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- Yeah.- How good are you saying, "Do you know what?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17"I'm going to take the weekend off." Or can you just not...?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19The beauty of it is that it's only over the summer,
0:15:19 > 0:15:21so there's no real excuse.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22It's kind of just four months...
0:15:22 > 0:15:24And you get to go to quite nice places as well, I suppose.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- It's not bad, yeah.- And you'll be everyone's friend.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28"Oh, it's Felix, the coffee man!"
0:15:28 > 0:15:29- That's the idea.- Brilliant.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31OK, now, listen. You're not quite through.
0:15:31 > 0:15:3494 or less is what we require from you.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37I always remember this answer cos it's my dad's name,
0:15:37 > 0:15:38and it's lawrencium.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Lawrencium, says Felix. And what a nice way to remember it.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Here is your red line.- I hope it's right.- Nice and high.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Let's see if your dad can get you through to Round Two.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48How many of our 100 people said lawrencium?
0:15:50 > 0:15:51It does. Well done.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Oh, look at that. Very well done indeed.
0:16:01 > 0:16:031, taking your total up to 13,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06seeing you very comfortably into Round Two.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08It's a lovely answer. Yeah, named after, erm,
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Felix's dad. Lawrencium. Very well played.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13There's loads of pointless answers.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- Do you want to have a little...? - I'll do the usual.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Rutherfordium, I suppose. - I would have gone for rutherfordium
0:16:18 > 0:16:19cos that's our favourite, isn't it?
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- Yeah.- Rutherfordium would have scored 3 points.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Oh!- So, we'd have done all right. - Those fortunes have changed.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Hasn't it just? Well, let's take a look at the pointless answers,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29because there's quite a few of them.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35There's neptunium that we had from Ruaridh.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41You could have had...
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Let's take a look at the top three answers,
0:16:45 > 0:16:47the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00So, at the end of our first round, the pair we have to say goodbye to,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02our only returning pair, Danny and Jennifer, I'm so sorry.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04You were head to headers last time.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I would've thought it was finals for you this time,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08but I'm afraid it wasn't to be.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11We have to say goodbye, but it's been great having you on.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12Thank you so much for playing.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Danny and Jennifer, everyone. APPLAUSE
0:17:16 > 0:17:19But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26And so three pairs remain.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Oh, but what good answers we had from you all there.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Ruaridh and Emma, top of the class.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35But we had good answers elsewhere as well.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38So, very well done to everyone. Best of luck for our next round.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40The category for that...
0:17:40 > 0:17:42is American History.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44American History. Can you all decide in your pairs,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47who's going to go first, who's going to second?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56OK, and our question concerns...
0:17:59 > 0:18:01- Presidential nicknames, Richard. - Yeah, on each board,
0:18:01 > 0:18:03we're going to show you six nicknames of American presidents.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05You need to tell the name of the president.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08We're also going to give you their initials and their dates of office.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- There's going to be 12 presidents to get at home. Good luck.- OK, so,
0:18:11 > 0:18:13we're looking for the presidents whose nicknames were these.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Here's our first board of six.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16And we have...
0:18:36 > 0:18:39I'm going to read through those nicknames one last time.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46There we are.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Dom. Yes.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51How good's your American presidential history?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Erm... Looking at the board, not as bad as I thought it would be.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58I'm thinking of going for Old Kinderhook, who would be...
0:18:58 > 0:18:59Martin Van Buren.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Martin Van Buren.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Martin Van Buren, says Dom. Let's see if that's right,
0:19:03 > 0:19:06let's see how many of our 100 people said Martin Van Buren.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10It's right.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17It's a great answer.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Look at that, Dom, very well done indeed.
0:19:19 > 0:19:214 for Martin Van Buren.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Well played, Dom. Yes, it's a reference to his hometown,
0:19:25 > 0:19:26which was Kinderhook.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28It's one of the many theories as to were OK comes from.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31No-one knows where the phrase "OK" comes from.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34And that's one of the many possibilities.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35- Ah.- Was from Martin Van Buren.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37There we are. Thank you, Richard.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Ruaridh.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43I don't think I'm too good with this board.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I think I'm going to have do go for the bottom one.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Lyndon B Johnson.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Lyndon B Johnson for Landslide, says Ruaridh.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50Let's see if it's right.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Lyndon B Johnson.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59It's right. Well, 4 is our only score at this point.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00LBJ, 42.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Yeah, Landslide Lyndon, they called him.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10It was originally an ironic nickname because he won a disputed election
0:20:10 > 0:20:13years before, with an absolutely tiny majority
0:20:13 > 0:20:15and then he won an election with a landslide as well,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17so it became un-ironic.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Thanks very much, Richard.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Now, Mike, this board's all yours.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Do you want to talk us through it?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24I'd love to, yeah.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26There's a couple that I know there.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29The top one, Ronald Reagan.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Not sure who General Mum or Old Hickory are.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36I'll go for Tricky Dick and that was, I think, Richard Nixon.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Richard Nixon for Tricky Dick, says Mike.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Let's see how many of our 100 people went Richard Nixon.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46It's right. Well, 42...
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Ooh, look at that. 66. A new high score there.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Yeah, also commonly known as Tricky Dicky, Richard Nixon.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Funnily enough, he scores more points than Reagan,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58because you're right about Reagan.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00But Reagan would have scored you 61 points.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04General Mum
0:21:04 > 0:21:07was William Henry Harrison.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09That's the best answer on the board and would have scored you 1.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12And Old Hickory is Andrew Jackson.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14That would've scored you 11.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16So, William Henry Harrison the best answer on the board.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Thanks very much indeed. Well, we're halfway through our second round.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Let's take a look at the scores. 4, Dom. Look at that. Dom and Felix
0:21:22 > 0:21:25looking very strong at this point of the round.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Then up to 42, where we find Ruaridh and Emma.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Then up to 66, Mike and Jim.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Jim, I have complete faith in you in all things,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34particularly US presidents.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36So, please do me the great honour of finding a nice, low score
0:21:36 > 0:21:38and keeping yourself in the game.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Good luck with that, Jim. We're going to come back down the line.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49OK. Let's put six more presidential nicknames up on the board,
0:21:49 > 0:21:51and here they come. We have...
0:22:14 > 0:22:15I'll read those nicknames again.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25So, Jim...
0:22:25 > 0:22:26how are you finding that board, generally?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Well, there are a couple that I know,
0:22:28 > 0:22:32but I think they might be quite high scorers.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36I'm not too sure about the first name of the Great Engineer.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40- Henry Hoover. - Henry Hoover, says Jim.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Henry Hoover, for the Great Engineer.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45No red line for you as you're currently the high scorers,
0:22:45 > 0:22:49but let's see how many of our 100 people went with Henry Hoover.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Jim, bad luck, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer
0:22:55 > 0:22:56and it scores you 100 points,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59and takes your total up to an unbeatable 166.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Sorry, Jim. I'll give all the correct answers
0:23:01 > 0:23:03at the end of the pass.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Thanks very much, Richard.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Now, then, Emma.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Phew, that's taking a bit of pressure off there.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Yeah. Erm...
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I only know two of them,
0:23:13 > 0:23:16so I'm going to go with the top one and Bill Clinton.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17OK. And Bill Clinton for the Comeback Kid.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Let's see if that's right. No red line for the lovely reason
0:23:20 > 0:23:21that you're already through.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23But let's see how many people said Bill Clinton.
0:23:30 > 0:23:3144.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Takes your total up to 86.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36A nickname he gave himself,
0:23:36 > 0:23:39or at least his campaign gave to himself
0:23:39 > 0:23:41after he came back from all sorts of lurid allegations
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- about his personal life. - Didn't he, though?- Yeah.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Oh, he did it more than once. - Didn't he, though?- Yeah, he did.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Thanks very much. Now, Felix, again you're already through.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Lovely low score from Dom.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Do you fancy going through that board?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58I was worried when Jim said the Great Engineer,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00but I think I've got the answer for that one.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03I don't know Eisenhower's first name,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05so I'll have to go with Herbert Hoover.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Herbert Hoover, says Felix. Let's see if that's right.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10No red line as you're already through,
0:24:10 > 0:24:12but how many people went with Herbert Hoover?
0:24:14 > 0:24:15It's right.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21And that's a good score.
0:24:21 > 0:24:2314. Very well done indeed.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Taking your total up to a lovely low 18.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Well played, Felix. Now, Jim,
0:24:29 > 0:24:30you fell into a very familiar trap there.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32That's one of those quiz questions,
0:24:32 > 0:24:34and lots of our 100 people said it as well.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Henry Hoover, that's the Hoover with the eyes on the front of it.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- I have one.- But British people are incapable of telling the difference
0:24:41 > 0:24:43between Henry Hoover and Herbert Hoover,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45so you are very much not the only person in the 100
0:24:45 > 0:24:49who said Henry Hoover, I promise you that, but it is Herbert Hoover.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Now, His Accidency,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53he was called that because he took over from William Henry Harrison.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56He was the first person ever to take over from a president who died.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57And it was John Tyler.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00That's the best answer there. It's 2 points if you said that.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- Ike is...- Dwight Eisenhower.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Yep. Would've scored 62.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06The Great Emancipator?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- Is...- Oh, I know exactly who that is.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- Of course, it's Abraham Lincoln. - Absolutely.
0:25:11 > 0:25:1336. Daniel Day Lewis.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15- And Dubya?- Is George W Bush.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18George W Bush. Yep. And that would've scored 47.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Look at that. Look how our nicknames have changed over the years.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24I mean, His Accidency is just a fabulous nickname.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28- It's a really good nickname, isn't it?- I mean, Dubya has its...
0:25:28 > 0:25:29It is quite charming, isn't it?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31But, yeah, we don't get many people called
0:25:31 > 0:25:32- the Great Emancipator any more. - Not so much.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34If you're the Great Emancipator,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I'm going to assume you're a stage magician these days.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Exactly, yeah. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41So, at the end of our second round,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43I'm very sorry to say the pair we're sending home
0:25:43 > 0:25:45with their high score of 166,
0:25:45 > 0:25:47it's Jim and Mike.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Bad luck. As Richard said,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51you weren't the first and you won't be the last
0:25:51 > 0:25:52to confuse Henry and Herbert.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54But anyway, we will see you again next time.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56We look forward to that very much indeed.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58In the meantime, thanks so much. Jim and Mike.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00APPLAUSE
0:26:00 > 0:26:02But for Ruaridh and Emma, Felix and Dom,
0:26:02 > 0:26:04it's now time to our head-to-head.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Congratulations, Felix and Dom, Ruaridh and Emma.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13You are now one step closer to the final
0:26:13 > 0:26:15and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:26:15 > 0:26:19which is currently standing at £1,250.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Well, you know the story, you're now in the head-to-head,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24which means you can start playing as a team.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Simple as that. So, two brand-new teams
0:26:29 > 0:26:31straight through to the head-to-head and, oh,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33we've had some good answers from you.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36We've had neptunium from Ruaridh in round one.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38And then we had Van Buren from Dom in round two.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41So, you've got the chops. I know that between you,
0:26:41 > 0:26:43this is going to be a very, very close semifinal.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46So, best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Here is your first question.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56And it concerns...
0:27:00 > 0:27:03We're going to show you five pictures now
0:27:03 > 0:27:05of scenes from films involving exercise.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Can you name the films, please?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Excellent. Thank you very much indeed.
0:27:09 > 0:27:14Let's reveal our five stills from films and here they come.
0:27:14 > 0:27:15We've got...
0:27:42 > 0:27:45There we go. Five films featuring exercise.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Felix and Dom, you've been our low scorers up to this point,
0:27:47 > 0:27:49so you will go first.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53THEY WHISPER
0:27:59 > 0:28:01It's a toss-up between two.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04I think we'll go with B, American Beauty.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05B, American Beauty.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08B, American Beauty, say Felix and Dom.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Now, Ruaridh and Emma, do you fancy talking us through all those others?
0:28:12 > 0:28:15A is hopefully Bridget Jones' Diary.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16D is the Karate Kid.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19And I think E might be Run Fatboy Run.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Erm...
0:28:21 > 0:28:25I'm going to go with E, or WE are going to go with E, Run Fatboy Run.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26OK. Run Fatboy Run.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29So, we have American Beauty and we have Run Fatboy Run.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31The question is... Was that the other one?
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- That was the other one. - We're going to find out
0:28:34 > 0:28:36who made the right decision here.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Felix and Dom went for B, American Beauty.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Let's see if that's right.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Let's see how many of our 100 people said, American Beauty.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47It's right.
0:28:49 > 0:28:50Where does it end up?
0:28:52 > 0:28:5412.
0:28:57 > 0:28:5912 for American Beauty.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02What are you thinking? Bit high?
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Yeah, I don't know what to think yet.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- We'll find out.- I wanted to go with E, so...
0:29:06 > 0:29:08- He wanted E, yeah.- OK. Right.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13Ruaridh and Emma did go for E and they said Run Fatboy Run.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Who went for the right one?
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Still going down. Oh, well done.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Very well done.
0:29:27 > 0:29:3020 for Run Fatboy Run.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34That means, Felix and Dom, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35Two good answers there.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38A, you're quite right, it's Bridget Jones' Diary.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Would've scored you 61.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42The best answer on the board is C...
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Jamie Lee Curtis, John Travolta also in this.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Perfect would've scored 2 points.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50And the Karate Kid, of course.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53That would've scored you 64.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55There we are. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57OK, here comes your second question.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Ruaridh and Emma, you get to answer this first,
0:29:59 > 0:30:01but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Our second question is all about...
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- Pigs. Richard.- Yep, we're just going to give you five clues now to facts
0:30:09 > 0:30:12about pigs. Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:30:12 > 0:30:13- Pig facts.- Pig facts!
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Pig facts! OK, here they come.
0:30:15 > 0:30:16Let's reveal them.
0:30:37 > 0:30:38I'll read those all again.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Now then, Ruaridh and Emma, you will go first.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00WHISPERING
0:31:10 > 0:31:13I think we're going to go with the bottom one.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14I think we're going to say, Cuba.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Cuba, say Ruaridh and Emma.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Cuba. Now then, Felix and Dom,
0:31:18 > 0:31:21do you fancy talking us through the rest of the board?
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Well, the top one is...
0:31:24 > 0:31:25I remember. 1984.
0:31:25 > 0:31:26No, not 1984, the other one.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- Animal Farm. - Oh, yeah, the other one.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32And then the bottom one is a sow.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- And then it's a warthog.- I was thinking a warthog, yeah.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36Animal Farm?
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- Yeah, I guess it has to be.- Yeah, we will go with Animal Farm at the top.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Animal Farm. So, we have Cuba and we have Animal Farm.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Well, Ruaridh and Emma went for Cuba for The Bay of Pigs.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51Absolutely right.
0:31:56 > 0:31:5831. 31 for Cuba.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Felix and Dom, meanwhile, have gone for Animal Farm.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Let's see if that's right.
0:32:08 > 0:32:09It is right.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15But 51 is what it scores.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Popular book. Very well done indeed, Ruaridh and Emma,
0:32:17 > 0:32:20you're back in the game. After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Now, was one of you pushing to go for warthog?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Erm, not especially.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26No, we were more going to guess for the pedigree.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29That would've scored you 32 points, warthog.
0:32:29 > 0:32:30Would've been very exciting.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34The adult female pig is a sow, as you said.
0:32:36 > 0:32:3773 for that.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39And the breed of pig...
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- Tamworth.- Yeah, as in the Tamworth Two,
0:32:41 > 0:32:42and that would've scored you 10 points.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- Best answer on the board. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46OK, here comes the first question.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49This is the decider. Whoever wins this one goes through to the final
0:32:49 > 0:32:52and plays for the jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Our third question is all about...
0:32:56 > 0:32:57The colour yellow, Richard.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01Simply going to show you five clues now relating to the colour yellow.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02Can you give us the most obscure answer
0:33:02 > 0:33:04and get through to that jackpot round?
0:33:04 > 0:33:07OK, here are our five clues.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09We have...
0:33:28 > 0:33:30I'll read those all again.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51OK, and it's the yellows, appropriately enough, who go first.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54- Felix and Dom.- Dom thinks he knows the top one.
0:33:54 > 0:33:55I think I seem to remember...
0:33:55 > 0:33:58It would be JR Hartley.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01JR Hartley, say Felix and Dom.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03JR Hartley. Now then, Ruaridh and Emma,
0:34:03 > 0:34:07do you want to talk us through our other yellows?
0:34:07 > 0:34:09I know the cartoon series,
0:34:09 > 0:34:12but I don't think that will beat the top one.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16- Do you think we should have a guess at the...?- Yeah.- The US state.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22I'm going to go Wyoming for the US state.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Wyoming, say Ruaridh and Emma.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28So, we have JR Hartley and we have Wyoming.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32Now, Felix and Dom said JR Hartley for our Yellow Pages author.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Let's see that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said
0:34:35 > 0:34:36JR Hartley.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40It's right.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45It's right. That was a good answer to get.
0:34:45 > 0:34:4628.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Slightly higher than I was expecting, JR Hartley.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51But that's a good score.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55Now, Ruaridh and Emma have gone for Wyoming
0:34:55 > 0:34:59for the Yellowstone National Park. Complete shot in the dark?
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Yeah, I thought they had a good answer,
0:35:01 > 0:35:04so the ones that we knew would have been too high.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- So, a stab in the dark. - OK, let's try it. Wyoming.
0:35:07 > 0:35:08Is it right?
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Yes, it is right.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Wyoming is exactly the state.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18LAUGHING: And it wins you the point.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Well done. Eight for Wyoming.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24That was a great educated guess. And it means, Ruaridh and Emma,
0:35:24 > 0:35:27that you go through to the final after three questions, 2-1.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Great tactics. It must've been somewhere
0:35:29 > 0:35:30in the back of your head as well.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Yeah, 96% of Yellowstone National Park is in Wyoming.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36And you were right. All the other answers would not have won it,
0:35:36 > 0:35:39because those are the best two answers on the board.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42The cartoon series is SpongeBob SquarePants.
0:35:42 > 0:35:4376 points for that.
0:35:44 > 0:35:4831 points for Donovan, who had a hit with Mellow Yellow.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52And a yellowthroat is a bird, and that's another big scorer.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54- 43 points. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:57 > 0:36:01I'm afraid, Felix and Dom. But what an exciting head-to-head that was.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04I mean, it pinged backwards and forwards and backwards and forwards,
0:36:04 > 0:36:06but it means, great news for us, we get to see you again next show.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09So, we'll look forward to that, but meantime, thanks so much,
0:36:09 > 0:36:10Felix and Dom. Great performance.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12APPLAUSE
0:36:13 > 0:36:17But for Ruaridh and Emma, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Congratulations, Ruaridh and Emma.
0:36:22 > 0:36:23You fought off all the competition
0:36:23 > 0:36:26and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and,
0:36:34 > 0:36:39at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,250.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Well, what a performance. From neptunium...
0:36:41 > 0:36:44From the very beginning, you started with a pointless answer.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Do you think you can finish your Pointless career
0:36:47 > 0:36:50with a pointless answer as well, and carry that jackpot home, I wonder?
0:36:50 > 0:36:53What would you like see come up in this last round?
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- Sport.- Geography is quite good as well.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- Yeah.- Yeah.- OK, well, you know what it's like.
0:36:59 > 0:37:00We'll put four things up there.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Sometimes they can look quite bewildering when you first see them
0:37:03 > 0:37:05but remember, there are three subsections
0:37:05 > 0:37:07to each category up there. Best of luck.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Let's there's something up there you like the look of.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Today's selection looks like this.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- I think...- I think... We will go with Rugby Legends.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Yeah. You're good at your rugby.
0:37:24 > 0:37:25OK, Rugby Legends it is.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28- Richard.- Well, if you know your rugby,
0:37:28 > 0:37:30this has turned out very nicely. Three questions for you here.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32I suspect you'll do well if you know your stuff.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34We are looking for any of the following, please.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38We are looking for any of the top 20 all-time try scorers
0:37:38 > 0:37:40at the Rugby Union World Cup.
0:37:40 > 0:37:45That's the men's Rugby Union World Cup between 1987 and 2015, please.
0:37:45 > 0:37:46So, any of the top 20 try scorers.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49So, any of the top 20 points scorers
0:37:49 > 0:37:51at those same Rugby World Cups, please.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55Or any of the top 20 all-time appearance records
0:37:55 > 0:37:57at the Rugby Union World Cup.
0:37:57 > 0:37:58So, top 20 try scorers,
0:37:58 > 0:38:00top 20 points scorers
0:38:00 > 0:38:03and the top 20 appearances in Rugby World Cup games, please.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Very best of luck.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with the answers
0:38:09 > 0:38:10and all you need to win the jackpot
0:38:10 > 0:38:13is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:38:15 > 0:38:17OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19There they are. Your time starts now.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Right. I know, like, Jonny Wilkinson and Dan Carter.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24- Yeah.- Top the list. But they won't be pointless.
0:38:26 > 0:38:27Maybe South Africa.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Maybe Percy Montgomery.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- You're much better at this than me.- We can try him.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35We can say names.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36Who else have we got?
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Italy, maybe Diego Dominguez.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Potentially...Ireland.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43Ronan O'Gara.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45What ones are these for, though?
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- These are all points scorers. - All right, OK.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49So, Percy Montgomery.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54New Zealand, might go Andrew Mehrtens.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55Going to try him.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Just trying and dredge some rugby knowledge up.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Percy Montgomery, Andrew Mehrtens.
0:39:00 > 0:39:01Erm...
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Samoa... Oh, yeah, and then Fiji, we're going to go Nicky Little.
0:39:05 > 0:39:11- OK.- So, Percy Montgomery, Andrew Mehrtens and Nicky Little.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13- Are you happy? - Yeah, I think we've got three.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16We're going to stop the clock. OK. Good, confident approach to this.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Now, I need your three answers and if you can say which category
0:39:18 > 0:39:20you are answering for in each one.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22These are all for all-time points scorers
0:39:22 > 0:39:23at the Rugby Union World Cup.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25- OK.- We've got Percy Montgomery.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- Percy Montgomery.- Andrew Mehrtens.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30- Andrew Mehrtens.- And Nicky Little.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32And Nicky Little. Now, of those three,
0:39:32 > 0:39:35which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:35 > 0:39:36I'd say Nicky Little.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Nicky Little goes last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:39 > 0:39:40I'm going to say Percy Montgomery.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Percy Montgomery goes first.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44OK, well, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order then
0:39:44 > 0:39:47and here they are. We have got...
0:39:52 > 0:39:53Well, very best of luck.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57That sounded like a confident set of answers there.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Let's hope that one of those wins you that jackpot.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01If it does, £1,250,
0:40:01 > 0:40:03what would you do with that?
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Ruaridh, you first.
0:40:05 > 0:40:06Erm...
0:40:06 > 0:40:09I went to America about two years ago, I'd quite like to go back.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Maybe try something like a road trip.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13- Maybe..- Maybe to Wyoming, for example,
0:40:13 > 0:40:15- might be a good place to go.- Yeah!
0:40:15 > 0:40:18- Emma, how about you?- I would join him on the road trip.
0:40:18 > 0:40:19- Would you? Would you?- Perfect! There we go.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Pool your resources. Good.
0:40:21 > 0:40:22Well, very best of luck.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24As I say, three good answers on the board there.
0:40:24 > 0:40:25In all three cases,
0:40:25 > 0:40:28we were looking for all-round points scorers
0:40:28 > 0:40:30in the Rugby Union World Cup.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Percy Montgomery was your first answer.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Probably the one you thought was least likely to be pointless,
0:40:34 > 0:40:36but they all sound pretty good to me.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39It has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot so, for £1,250,
0:40:39 > 0:40:42how many people named Percy Montgomery
0:40:42 > 0:40:45as an all-time high scorer in the Rugby Union World Cup?
0:40:48 > 0:40:51It's right.
0:40:51 > 0:40:52Now, all it has to be is pointless
0:40:52 > 0:40:56and it will win that jackpot for you. £1,250.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Percy Montgomery now takes us down into single figures.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Down it goes, still going down. Still going down.
0:41:01 > 0:41:02Look at that, pointless!
0:41:02 > 0:41:05APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Very well done indeed. Absolutely superb. Brilliant job.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17And so your pointless career finishes as it starts
0:41:17 > 0:41:19with a pointless answer.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Congratulations. Percy Montgomery was a pointless answer,
0:41:21 > 0:41:25which means you go home with that jackpot of £1,250.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Brilliant work, Ruaridh and Emma.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33Yeah, one of those categories where if you know one,
0:41:33 > 0:41:35you know all of them. It's a perfect thing to have cropped up.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37It will not surprise you at all
0:41:37 > 0:41:39to learn the other two answers were also both pointless. So many...
0:41:39 > 0:41:41APPLAUSE
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Anyone who knows their rugby,
0:41:48 > 0:41:50loads and loads of big name pointless answers out there,
0:41:50 > 0:41:52so fantastic that this question came up for you.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56I'm so pleased. Let's start with the try scorers as well.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58See how people did at home here.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Brian Lima, the Samoan they call The Chiropractor.
0:42:01 > 0:42:02Brian Lima. He was a pointless answer.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Chris Latham. You could have had Drew Mitchell of Australia,
0:42:05 > 0:42:08scored 14 tries. Keith Earls of Ireland a pointless answer.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Loads of others. Adam Ashley-Cooper, Christophe Dominici, Doug Howlett,
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Jeff Wilson, Vincent Clerc.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Lots of pointless answers there.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Let's take a look at the all-time points scorers.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Chris Paterson would've been a very good answer.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23There's Andrew Mehrtens. Jonny Webb, Neil Jenkins,
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Diego Dominguez who I think you mentioned in your minute.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Elton Flatley, you could have had Gareth Rees.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Jannie de Beer, Matt Burke.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Thierry Lacroix. Lots and lots of pointless answers there as well.
0:42:33 > 0:42:34All-time matches played...
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Gethin Jenkins was a pointless answer.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Well done if you said that.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Schalk Burger also a pointless answer.
0:42:44 > 0:42:45Lots of others, actually.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Lots of other pointless answers you could have had.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51Brian Lima again on that, Bryan Habana, George Gregan,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Victor Matfield. So, loads of pointless answers on all of these.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Congratulations. So delighted the right category came up
0:42:57 > 0:42:59and so delighted you chose the right category as well.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Thanks very much, Richard.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04And thanks, once again, to our winning players, Ruaridh and Emma,
0:43:04 > 0:43:07who go away with today's jackpot of £1,250.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:43:11 > 0:43:12Well, join us next time
0:43:12 > 0:43:15when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
