0:00:19 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Hello, I'm Nick. This is my friend Adam.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Adam is from London and I'm from Surrey.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Kas. This is my fiance, Mark.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42And we're from Ipswich.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm John.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48This is my lovely daughter, Katie, and we're from Staines-upon-Thames.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50And finally, couple number four.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Chrissie, and this is Sue.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Sue's from London and I'm from Essex.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants. APPLAUSE
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Thanks very much to all of you. Four pairs of contestants -
0:01:00 > 0:01:02we'll find out more about each of you throughout the show as
0:01:02 > 0:01:06it goes along, so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07He's got knowledge so wide,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Richard Branson won't even attempt to fly a balloon across it.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- APPLAUSE - Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- Good afternoon to you.- And to you. - Are you well?- I am well.- Excellent.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24What a jackpot round we had last time, didn't we? Chris and Hannah.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Yeah.- Cos Hannah worked for cricket charities, that was her job,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30and English cricket came up as a category,
0:01:30 > 0:01:31which obviously they chose.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Actually, it took them a while to choose it, but they did choose it.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- Yeah.- And ended up with a 1-pointer.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Uh.- Tough, right?- Really tough.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Katie and John were on that show, got through to the head-to-head,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45so they are going to be very tough to beat for our new pairs.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46As John says, he's from Staines-on-Thames,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- which of course is the new name of Staines.- That's right.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51So they changed the name of Staines to try to make it sound
0:01:51 > 0:01:53slightly more...slightly nicer,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55and they called it Staines-on-Thames.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- That's not good, is it?- That's... If anything, that's worse.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00LAUGHTER
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- That's true, it's like it's a blot on Thames' copybook, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Is it Staines-on-Thames or upon? - Upon. UPON.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- Oh, that's much nicer. - As in Kingston upon Thames
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- and Richmond upon Thames. - See, they all sound lovely.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14LAUGHTER
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Richmond upon Thames, that's beautiful. Staines-upon-Thames...
0:02:18 > 0:02:19You think, "Well, take them off."
0:02:19 > 0:02:22LAUGHTER
0:02:22 > 0:02:23I like Staines-upon-Thames.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27We'll come to love it. ALEXANDER SIGHS NOISILY
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Shall we play Pointless? - Yeah, come on, let's do it.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Let's play pointless. Thank you very much.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Now, Chris and Hannah didn't win the jackpot, so we will add another
0:02:35 > 0:02:38£1,000 that, so today's jackpot will actually start off at £3,000.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40There we are. APPLAUSE AND OOHS
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Now, the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will
0:02:53 > 0:02:56be eliminated, so do your best to find those low-scoring answers.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Our first category today is...
0:03:00 > 0:03:01It's a words round.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Can you all decide in your pairs
0:03:03 > 0:03:05who's going first, who's going second?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16OK, and the question is all about...
0:03:17 > 0:03:19The NATO phonetic alphabet, Richard.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21On each board, we'll show you seven clues.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23The answers to those clues all contain
0:03:23 > 0:03:25a word that is in the NATO phonetic alphabet.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Just need you to give us an obscure answer, please.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at, at home. Best of luck.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36OK, so let's reveal our first board of seven clues, and here they come.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I shall say all of those one last time.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- There we go. Nick, welcome to Pointless.- Hello.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Good to have you here. What do you do, Nick?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44I work for a financial advice company.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Ah. Have you got any advice for us? - Um, you know, just save...
0:04:48 > 0:04:53- Money.- Brilliant.- Try to spend less.- Spend less, save more.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57OK, that is good. How long have you worked for the financial advice...?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Just over three years. - OK. Very good.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03How up to speed are you on your phonetic alphabet, do you think?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06I'm OK, I was just sort of going through it in my head.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10I think I'm going to go for the third one down.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11I think it is a delta.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Delta, says Nick. Delta. Let's see if that's right.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Let's see how many of our 100 people said delta.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Not bad, 29.
0:05:28 > 0:05:3029 for delta.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Nice start, Nick. They're called deltas because a lot of them form
0:05:34 > 0:05:37triangle shapes, which is the shape of the letter delta.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Kas, welcome.- Hiya.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here. What do you do, Kas?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48I work for a well-known supermarket as a non-food stock controller.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Right, so you're basically filling the shelves,
0:05:50 > 0:05:52making sure there are no gaps?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56I don't really fill this shelves, I just make sure that all the
0:05:56 > 0:05:59stock levels are correct, make sure the stock comes in.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01OK, so if there is suddenly a run on toothpaste,
0:06:01 > 0:06:03you have to make sure...
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- I mean, is it every aisle or...? - I generally cover health and beauty.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10So toothpaste was absolutely right there.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- Yeah.- Fabulous. Now, Kas.- Mm-hm.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15What would you like to go for on this phonetic alphabet board?
0:06:15 > 0:06:20Right, I think I'll go for the ballroom dance and say foxtrot.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23You'll say foxtrot. Kas says foxtrot. Let's see if it's right.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28It's right.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Well played, Kas. Named after the vaudeville actor Harry Fox.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- There we go. John. Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Now, remind us what you like getting up to in Staines.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51What I like getting up to. I play the drums in a couple of bands.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52What kind of bands are they?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Well, they are the oldest rock bands you've ever met.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57We've got a guitarist in our band, he's 87.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Wow!
0:06:58 > 0:07:0287. I'm one of the youngest. 73, I'm one of the youngest in the band.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Fantastic.- The name of that band, the Rolling Stones.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- LAUGHTER - They're boys compared with us.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12We're called The Taverners, we're named after drinking.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- That's quite an old name for drinkers as well, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17But I like that. Very nice indeed.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Now, John, what would you like to go for?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I'm going to go for the bottom one, I've remembered.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23I think that's Lima.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Lima. Lima, says John.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Let's see how many of our 100 people said Lima.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Well, it is right.
0:07:32 > 0:07:3532 is our high score, 29 our low, so pretty tight
0:07:35 > 0:07:37for your 37.
0:07:37 > 0:07:4037 for Lima, that is higher than I was expecting.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I thought we were going to have a new low there.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Pretty tight, isn't it, between those first three podiums?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Yeah, Lima, absolutely. Lots of foodies go there now for holidays.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- Some of the best restaurants in the world in Lima.- Thank you very much.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Now, Chrissie, welcome to the show. Great to have you here.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- What do you do, Chrissie?- I am an exams administrator.- For?
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- For doctors.- Oh, really? And, Chrissie,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- what are your interests outside medical examining?- I like baking.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I like arts and crafts.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11I make my own birthday cards, gift boxes, things like that.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Very nice. Very nice.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Now, Chrissie, you're the last person,
0:08:14 > 0:08:15would you like to talk us through it?
0:08:15 > 0:08:19I think the top one might be javelin,
0:08:19 > 0:08:22but I'm not sure and I don't really want to take a guess.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26But the only one that I do know is the month in which men grow
0:08:26 > 0:08:29moustaches, which is, I think, November.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32OK, you're going to go for that one? November, says Chrissie.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Let's see if that's right.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Let's see how many of our 100 people said November.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39It's right.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Oi, oi. 73.
0:08:43 > 0:08:4573 for November.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50It started in 2003, 30 people.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Now over 4 million a year take part in Movember.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Amazing, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Shall we fill in the rest of this board?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- We'll take a look at the top one. - Oh, it's javelin.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03RICHARD LAUGHS
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- It's not, I'm afraid. It is G for golf.- Golf, yeah.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Would've scored 37. - Now, the introductory course?
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Alpha.- The Alpha course, yeah. It's the best answer, actually.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14It would have scored you 15 points.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Only just the best answer cos this last one... Again,
0:09:17 > 0:09:19you can work it out if you go through your alphabet.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22If someone says something that repeats words that are said to her?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- Echo.- Echo.- Echo.- Echo.- Echo.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- 18 points for that. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Well, we're halfway through the round,
0:09:30 > 0:09:31let's look at those scores.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33The best score of that round was yours, Nick.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Very well done indeed. 29.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Who knew when it stopped at 29 that
0:09:37 > 0:09:40that was actually really a top score?
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Anyway, it is, so well done.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43We travel up from there to 32,
0:09:43 > 0:09:44where we find Kas and Mark.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Then up to 37, where we find John and Katie. Then up to 73,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Chrissie and Sue. Now, Sue,
0:09:50 > 0:09:52you get the new board, so it'll be all yours.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Find a nice low score on there. Best of luck with that.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56We're going to come back down the line now.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:00 > 0:10:04OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board, and here they are.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I will read all of those one last time.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07There we are. Sue, we come to you. Sue, what do you do?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I work with Chrissie. I'm also an exams administrator.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- Also an administrator.- Yeah.- Do you work alongside each other or...?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16We administer different exams, but, yes, we work in the same office.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18What are your hobbies, Sue?
0:11:18 > 0:11:23I like TV, film, music and I am an ardent follower of Take That,
0:11:23 > 0:11:24to my shame.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- An ardent follower... You follow them to your shame?- Well, yeah.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30To my family's shame, I should probably say.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Oh, there's no shame at all about that.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Did you cry when Robbie Williams left?- No.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- Did you cry when he came back?- Yes. - LAUGHTER
0:11:37 > 0:11:39There we are.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Now, Sue, there you are, you are the high-scorers - 73.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Look at this pristine board.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Have you decided which of those is going to be the lowest scorer?
0:11:47 > 0:11:48I think I know a couple,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51but I'm going to go with the second one, which I think is Zulu.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Zulu, says Sue. Zulu. No red line for you as you are the high-scorers.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Let's see how many of our 100 people said Zulu.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01It's right.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Oh, look at that, 3 for Zulu!
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Look at that, Sue!
0:12:11 > 0:12:13That is exactly what you needed.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16That kind of low score, I think, might just keep you in the game.
0:12:16 > 0:12:1876 is your new total.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Yeah, based on the Battle of Rorke's Drift
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- from 1879.- There we are.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27Thanks very much. Now, Katie. Katie, welcome back. Remind us what you do.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- Actress/shop assistant. - Shop assistant.- Yes.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36- But in a high-end shop.- Yes.- A shop that sells exclusively toiletries...
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- High-end.- ..of the high-end.- Yeah.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40I'm trying to think...
0:12:40 > 0:12:43You don't really come across that many shops that sell those things.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- You don't.- It must be terribly exclusive.- It's very.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- That's nice. Sort of nice soaps of interesting hues and flavours.- Yes.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Do you sell those things that look like grissini?
0:12:54 > 0:12:59- Oh, yeah, the diffusers.- Diffusers, that's... Do you sell those?
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- We do indeed.- Ah, diffusers. There we are.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Katie, you're on 37.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07The high-scorers at the moment are Chrissie and Sue, behind you,
0:13:07 > 0:13:10on 76. 38 gets you into Round Two.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Oh, man.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15I thought I was going to be well clever and say Zulu, but alas...
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- That would have been well clever, we now know.- Yeah.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22I'm going to go with Grand Budapest,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- and it's hotel.- Hotel.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Hotel, says Katie.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Here's your red line.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Get below that with the hotel, you're through to the next round.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32How many people said hotel?
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Oh!
0:13:42 > 0:13:4459. Takes your total up to 96.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Yeah, big score.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Good film, nominated for nine Oscars, won four of them.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51There you are. Thank you. Now, Mark.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Mark, welcome to the show.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56What do you do, Mark?
0:13:56 > 0:14:00I'm an onboard conductor for Greater Anglia Trains.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Now, how did you and Kas meet?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05We met a couple of years ago.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10I do believe you may correct me here, but we met on the pop aisle.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15- You met on the pop aisle? - The pop aisle of a well-known store.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Of a well-known store? I'm literally thinking Olive Oyl and Pop-aisle.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20But, um... LAUGHTER
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- That's where they keep the olive oil, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26LAUGHTER Yes.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Now, Mark, 32.- OK.- ..is your score.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Katie and John are the high-scorers on 96.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34What would you like to go for?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37I'll go for the sixth one,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Canada's largest providence.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I'll say Quebec.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43OK, Quebec, says Mark.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45There is your red line.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47If you get below that with Quebec, you are through to the next round.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49How many of our 100 people said Quebec?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54It's right.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55You are through to the next round.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Just. 52.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- 84 is your total.- Well played, Mark.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Yeah, did exactly what you needed to do there. Safely through.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Adam.- Hi. - Welcome to the show.- Thank you.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09What do you do, Adam?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I work in sports tourism,
0:15:11 > 0:15:14so bringing people to London under the banner of sports.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- So what sort of sports do you look after?- Mainly football.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Mainly football.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21There's obviously a huge amount of interest in football in London.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22Yeah, yeah.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Lots of Premiership clubs, so people love coming to watch it.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Very good indeed. Now, how do you and Nick know each other?
0:15:27 > 0:15:31We worked together many years ago at a popular fast food restaurant where
0:15:31 > 0:15:34you have to wear red and white stripes and be a bit wacky.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- Ah! How exhausting.- It was.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- It really was. - But was that fun?- Uh...
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- No.- No! LAUGHTER
0:15:43 > 0:15:46The premise was that you had to have fun the entire time.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- You had to wear hats to reflect your personality.- Oh, that's fun!
0:15:49 > 0:15:51And when you've done seven shifts in a row
0:15:51 > 0:15:53and are forced to sing Happy Birthday for the tenth time
0:15:53 > 0:15:55that night, you kind of lose all dignity.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- Yeah.- I like the fact that you're forced to sing Happy Birthday.- Yeah.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Must always remember that when you are in a restaurant.- That's true.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Now, Adam, you're on 29.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07You have to score 66 or less to stay with us.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Do you want to talk us through that board?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Well, a form of electromagnetic radiation is X-ray.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16And the green Sesame Street character is Oscar the Grouch.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17I don't know the proceeds Nevada,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19so I'm going to go for the top one,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22which is the first name of the central character in the
0:16:22 > 0:16:24long-running comic strip Peanuts, which is Charlie.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Charlie is the one you're going to say. Here's your red line.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Get below that with Charlie and you are into Round Two.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32How many of our 100 people said Charlie?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36It's right.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37And you're through.
0:16:38 > 0:16:4045 for Charlie.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41Very well done indeed, Adam.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42Takes your total up to 74.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Very well played, Adam. Let's fill in the rest of this board.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51You're right about Oscar. Would have been a much scorer, actually.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55It would have scored you 20 points. Do you know the Nevada one?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- Sierra.- Sierra, absolutely.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59That would have scored 38.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02And you're right, Adam, about X-ray.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04And that would have scored 29.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06There we are, thank you very much indeed.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08So at the end of our first round, the pair we have to say goodbye...
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I'm so sorry, John and Katie. I'm so sorry!
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- We were cocky. - Head-to-headers last time.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16I thought you were finalists for sure.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- Hey-ho.- Hey-ho. Oh, well, I'm really sorry.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20It's been lovely having you, thank you so much for playing.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- Thank you.- Katie and John. - Thank you.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25APPLAUSE
0:17:25 > 0:17:28But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Well, I mean, as you know, we shed a pair at the end of each round,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40and you seem to have got rid of our only returning pair,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43so, yeah, very good, well done, carry on is all I can say.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Our category for Round Two today is...
0:17:47 > 0:17:49It's Europe.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first,
0:17:51 > 0:17:52who's going second?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:18:08 > 0:18:10European Capitals of Culture, Richard.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Yeah, we're looking for any city that has been
0:18:13 > 0:18:16a European City of Culture or European Capital of Culture
0:18:16 > 0:18:19all the way through from 1985 up to and including 2016, please.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23So any European City of Culture or European Capital of Culture.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Worth noting, we're not talking about UK Cities of Culture,
0:18:26 > 0:18:29like Derry, places like that, but European capitals.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30They can be from the UK,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33but it has to be a European Capital of Culture
0:18:33 > 0:18:34or a European City of Culture.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Right. Nick.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37You are going to be going first.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- Yeah. - European City or Capital of Culture.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- OK. I'm going to try Rotterdam. - Rotterdam.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- Yeah.- Is that a shot in the dark or is it...?
0:18:48 > 0:18:52I think I've heard it somewhere, but, I mean, it could easily be 100.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54OK. Rotterdam, says Nick.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Let's see if it is 100, or let's see if it is a brilliant answer.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00It's a brilliant answer.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07It's a pointless answer!
0:19:07 > 0:19:11What about that?! Very well done indeed. Rotterdam.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15It adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes it up to £3,250.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17It scores you absolutely nothing
0:19:17 > 0:19:19and earns you huge respect.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Very, very well done indeed, Nick. Rotterdam.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Very well played, Nick. Terrific answer.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Worth it just for how happy Adam looked as well.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27LAUGHTER
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Nick can't look that happy cos then you look a bit cocky,
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- don't you?- That's right. - But inside, I know you are,
0:19:31 > 0:19:34but Adam was showing every emotion that you were feeling inside.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- It's a lovely moment.- Yeah, terrific answer. 2001, Rotterdam was...
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- 2001.- ..a City of Culture.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Now, Kas, what would you like to go for?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46European City or Capital of Culture.
0:19:46 > 0:19:53I'm just going to take a wild stab in the dark and say...
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Luxembourg?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- No?- Luxembourg.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Luxembourg. City of Culture. Let's see, is it right?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05How many of our 100 people said Luxembourg?
0:20:08 > 0:20:09It's right!
0:20:11 > 0:20:13There you are, Luxembourg.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15It could be another pointless answer.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Oh, 1!
0:20:17 > 0:20:20ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:20:22 > 0:20:24There we are. Very well done.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- Oh, you're the high-scorers, though, Kas, I'm afraid.- Oh!
0:20:28 > 0:20:301 for Luxembourg.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Now, I enjoyed that for the look on YOUR face.- Yeah!
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Yeah, it has been twice, actually. 1995 and 2007.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- The capital of Luxembourg.- Yeah.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40There you are, brilliant.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41Good.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42There you are, you see?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Just shows... See?
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Chrissie.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Um, I honestly don't know either,
0:20:50 > 0:20:54so I'm just going to take a guess at...Prague?
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Prague. Surely. Surely Prague. Let's find out.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01How many of our 100 people said Prague?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04It's right.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Well, 1 is our high score, 0 is our low.
0:21:09 > 0:21:114 for Prague!
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Very well played, Chrissie.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20If you're going to guess, that is a very, very good guess.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21Yeah. Very good indeed.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23We're halfway through, let's look at those scores.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Nothing for Nick. Well done.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Nick and Adam looking very strong.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Then up to 1, where we find Kas and Mark.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Up to 4, Chrissie and Sue.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33I mean, there's nothing really in it, but, Sue,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35you are ahead. That's all you have to acknowledge.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37We're going to come back down the line now.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44OK, so, Sue, remember we're looking for any city that's been
0:21:44 > 0:21:47a European city, or Capital, of Culture.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50There you are. Way ahead on 4.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53No pressure! Um...Glasgow.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Glasgow, says Sue. Glasgow.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57No red line for you as you're the high-scorers.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Let's see how many of our 100 people said Glasgow.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03It's right.
0:22:09 > 0:22:1145.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Taking your total up to 49.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Yeah, 1990, Glasgow.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Thanks, Richard. Now, Mark?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Er, I may go...for...
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Liverpool.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26OK. Liverpool, says Mark.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Let's see how many of our 100 people said Liverpool.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30There is your red line.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34It's right.
0:22:38 > 0:22:3955, Mark,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42taking your total up to 56.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Yeah, the big guns coming out in this part, aren't they?
0:22:45 > 0:22:492008 Liverpool was the European City of Culture.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53There we are, thank you. Now then, Adam, you're on nothing.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56You have to score 55 or less.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59What are you going to go for?
0:22:59 > 0:23:01I did have one, but it is a real guess,
0:23:01 > 0:23:05and I've been there and I was pretty sure of it.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06But considering where we are
0:23:06 > 0:23:08and considering capital cities in Europe
0:23:08 > 0:23:10and something that's got a bit of culture to it,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12I'm going to go for Vienna.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16- Vienna?- Yeah.- For fun, what was the one you were going to say?
0:23:16 > 0:23:17- Seville.- OK.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19But you're going to go for Vienna. OK, here is your red line.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21If you can get below this with Vienna,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23you are through to the next round.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25How many of our 100 people said Vienna?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Oh!
0:23:31 > 0:23:34It's goodnight, Vienna, I'm afraid! Adam, look at that.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37100 points. Now, I'm sorry.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Linz and Graz in Austria have both been Capitals of Culture,
0:23:40 > 0:23:42both pointless answers as well, but not Vienna.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44If you'd said Seville...
0:23:44 > 0:23:46you also would have scored 100 points.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- Oh.- At least that's something.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- But that's...- Vienna? - ..harsh, isn't it?- Yeah, a bit.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53How about...? Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55There's quite a few out there.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Antwerp in Belgium.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Bologna, Italy.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Cork was a pointless answer.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Well done if you said that.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Lots Irish viewers, I know, would have done that.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Genoa - pointless answer. Istanbul.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Maribor, which is in Slovenia. Football fans might know.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13There's Rotterdam, San Sebastian, Stavanger.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15There's a few others as well. You could have had Essen,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Patras... Santiago de Compostela was a pointless answer.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Thessaloniki. Vilnius - a pointless answer as well.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22Very well done if you got any of those.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Let's take a look at the top three. We've already seen the top two.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27But in third place...
0:24:27 > 0:24:28was...
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Paris...with 38.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Then we saw the top two, which were Glasgow - 45 -
0:24:33 > 0:24:35and Liverpool right at the top - 55.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37There we are. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38So at the end of our second round,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41the pair we're saying goodbye to with a high score of 100 -
0:24:41 > 0:24:43they're also our pointless scorers in the same round -
0:24:43 > 0:24:45but, Adam and Nick, I'm afraid it is you.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46We'll see you again next time,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48and I'm sure you'll do much, much better then.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50In the meantime, thanks very much for playing. Adam and Nick!
0:24:50 > 0:24:54- BOTH:- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:24:54 > 0:24:56But for the main two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Many congratulations, Chrissie and Sue, Mark and Kas.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06You're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play
0:25:06 > 0:25:10for that jackpot, which is currently standing at £3,250.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13CHEERING
0:25:13 > 0:25:16So, the big news here is that you are now allowed to confer.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18You can chat before you give your answers.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25CHEERING
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Here is your first question. And it concerns...
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Training Exercises, Richard.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40You're going to see five pictures now of particular types of exercise.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43We're also going to give you the names of that exercise underneath,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45the first and last letters of each word, anyway.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Can you tell us what they are, please? Very best of luck.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Very good. Let's reveal our five exercises, and here they come.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54We have...
0:26:20 > 0:26:21Now then, Chrissie and Sue,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24you are our low-scorers, so you will go first.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28- D, D.- Are you sure?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30I think so, yeah.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Go on.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34I think we're going to go D,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36bicycle.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39D, bicycle, say Chrissie and Sue. D, bicycle.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Now, Mark and Kas, the board is all yours.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Do you want to talk us through them?
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- Right, A is...- Crunch.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Don't know what B is.- No.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52C I would say is lunge.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54And E is the plank.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Do you want to do A, crunch?
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- Yeah, we'll go A, crunch. - A, crunch.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02We have bicycle and we have crunch. Chrissie and Sue went for bicycle.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 said bicycle.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09It's right.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17Not bad. 19 for bicycle.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Mark and Kas, meanwhile, have gone for crunch.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Let's see if that's right for A.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29It is right.
0:27:31 > 0:27:3358.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37There we are. Very well done, Chrissie and Sue. You win that,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40which means after one question you are up 1-0.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44- Let's take a look at these other ones. Do you know B?- No.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45See, I was thinking scorpion.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- But the scorpion is something slightly different. Superman.- No!
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Yeah, apparently. 7 points for that.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53I've nev... Wow.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56C is the lunge. You are right about that.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Would have scored you 64 points.
0:27:59 > 0:28:04- And E is of course the notorious plank.- Mm.
0:28:04 > 0:28:0546 for that.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08There you are. OK, here comes your second question.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09Mark and Kas, you will go first.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12But you have to win this one to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Our second question today is all about...
0:28:16 > 0:28:17All about Rocks, Richard.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20I'm going to show you the names of five types of rock now
0:28:20 > 0:28:21but in anagram form.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Can you unscramble them, please, and tell us the most obscure?
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Brilliant. OK, let's reveal our five anagrams and here they come.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30We've got...
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Mark and Kas, the board's all yours.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44- Limestone?- Yes, yes.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46- We'll go with that one.- OK.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48OK, we'll go for the third one.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49And we'll go for...
0:28:49 > 0:28:51limestone.
0:28:51 > 0:28:52Limestone.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Limestone, say Mark and Kas.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Now then, Chrissie and Sue.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01- OK, so the second one?- Yeah.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03The second one.
0:29:03 > 0:29:04- Slate.- OK, slate.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07So we have limestone and we have slate.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Mark and Kas went with limestone.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:29:18 > 0:29:1940.
0:29:23 > 0:29:2540 for limestone. Chrissie and Sue have gone for slate.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said slate.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Slate - 62.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Well done, Mark and Kas, you're back in the game.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42You won that, which means after two questions it's 1-1.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44I got so stuck on limestone, cos I saw
0:29:44 > 0:29:45"enite" at the end.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47You know, like some minerals have that at the end of it.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50So I couldn't get it out of my head. I did terribly!
0:29:50 > 0:29:53And the top one, it's also got "stone" in it,
0:29:53 > 0:29:55but what else has it got?
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- Mudstone.- Mudstone.- Mudstone.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Well done if you said that at home. 14 points.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Tearing...
0:30:01 > 0:30:02is granite.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Oh, God, I'm useless at this.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07And that would have scored 56. And the bottom one...
0:30:07 > 0:30:09is basalt.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10Basalt would have scored 18.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- So the best answer on the board is mudstone.- Marvellous.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Thank you very much indeed. So here comes your third question.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:30:18 > 0:30:20and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Our third question today is all about...
0:30:23 > 0:30:24Opera, Richard.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26- AUDIENCE GROANS - Simply...
0:30:26 > 0:30:30Good news, isn't it(?) Simply five clues now to facts about opera.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32The team that gives us the most obscure answer
0:30:32 > 0:30:34is going through to play for the jackpot. Very best of luck.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Thanks very much indeed.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39OK, let's reveal our five clues, and here they are. We've got...
0:31:01 > 0:31:03I'll read those one last time.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24And Chrissie and Sue will go first.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26I don't... I don't know.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Yeah.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Um... I'm going to take a guess
0:31:31 > 0:31:33at the last one,
0:31:33 > 0:31:35at libre?
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Libre, say Chrissie and Sue. Libre.
0:31:37 > 0:31:42Now, Mark and Kas, talk us through the board if you can.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45OK, the Australian city would be Sydney.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49- The operatic singer, let's say... Pavarotti.- Pavarotti.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51The country house and estate...
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- I don't know that.- I don't know that. And...we're going...
0:31:54 > 0:31:56We'll go for the fourth one, the composer.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59We're going to guess at...
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Vivaldi.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03OK, you're going to go for Vivaldi.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05So, we have libre and Vivaldi.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Chrissie and Sue say libre.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14No.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16I'm afraid that's incorrect, which means, Mark and Kas,
0:32:16 > 0:32:18you merely have to be correct with Vivaldi
0:32:18 > 0:32:21and you will win the point. Is Vivaldi right, though?
0:32:24 > 0:32:27No! Vivaldi is not right.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- Which means, after three questions, it's 1-1 still.- Yeah.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Literally... You knew a couple of answers there.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34You could have been straight into the jackpot round
0:32:34 > 0:32:36if you'd gone with one of your obvious ones.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38- Because it's not the libre... - Libretto.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40It comes from the same word. Libretto.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44- Oh.- And libretto would have scored you 12 points.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46- And the composer - not Vivaldi.- Mozart.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Mozart. And Mozart would have scored you...
0:32:49 > 0:32:5121. You were right about Sydney.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Would have seen you into the jackpot round.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55Would have scored you 60 points.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58You were right about Pavarotti as well.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00That also would have seen you into the jackpot round.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01Would have scored 49.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- And the country house?- Glyndebourne. - It's Glyndebourne.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06And Glyndebourne would have scored you 24.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10- So libretto is the best answer on that board.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12OK, so here comes your fourth question.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14When I said the last one was the decider, I lied!
0:33:14 > 0:33:15LAUGHTER
0:33:15 > 0:33:17This one, of course, is the decider, which means,
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Mark and Kas, you will go first this time.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23Best of luck to both pairs. Our fourth question today concerns...
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- Gerry Anderson TV Shows, Richard. - I'm going to show you
0:33:27 > 0:33:29the titles now of five Gerry Anderson TV shows.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32We're going to give you the first and last letters or numbers
0:33:32 > 0:33:35of the words of those shows. Can you tell us what they are, please?
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Very best of luck.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39OK, let's reveal our five clues to Gerry Anderson TV shows,
0:33:39 > 0:33:40and here they are.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42We have got...
0:33:50 > 0:33:52I'll read those all one last time.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03So, Mark and Kas will go first.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07OK. I'm going to go for the last question.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- It'll be For Feather Fours.- OK.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12For Feather Fours.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Very good. Now, Chrissie and Sue?
0:34:17 > 0:34:19I know the other four.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20We're going to go for
0:34:20 > 0:34:21the fourth one. Supercar.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25Supercar, say Chrissie and Sue. Supercar.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27So we have For Feather Fours.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28And we have Supercar.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Mark and Kas said For Feather Fours. Let's see if that's right,
0:34:31 > 0:34:33and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42I'm afraid that is incorrect, Mark and Kas.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Chrissie and Sue have gone for Supercar.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Let's see if that's right.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Let's see how many of our 100 people said Supercar.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54- Phew!- It's right.
0:34:59 > 0:35:0211 for Supercar.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Which means, Chrissie and Sue, after four questions,
0:35:06 > 0:35:08you are through to the final. 2-1.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Well played, both teams. They knew their Gerry Anderson.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12I have to say, it's not For Feather Fours.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16It's Four Feather FALLS, I'm afraid. It would have scored...
0:35:16 > 0:35:18It would have scored 12 points.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- Oh!- It would have been very, very exciting.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23I have to say you still would have lost,
0:35:23 > 0:35:25but it would have been very exciting.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27And I'm sure everyone knows the top three.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Stingray at the top there.
0:35:30 > 0:35:3129.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32Thunderbirds...
0:35:34 > 0:35:3549.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38And Space: 1999.
0:35:38 > 0:35:3932.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Thank you very much indeed.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:43 > 0:35:45I'm afraid, Mark and Kas, it's you.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48You came this far, within touching distance, as they say,
0:35:48 > 0:35:50of the final round, but we will see you again next time.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52We look forward to that very much.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Let's hope you do just as well, if not better, then.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57In a meantime, thanks very much indeed, Mark and Kas.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Right, for Chrissie and Sue, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Well, congratulations, Chrissie and Sue.
0:36:09 > 0:36:10You fought off all the competition
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.- Yes.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:36:21 > 0:36:25and at the end of today's show the jackpot is standing at £3,250.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27CHEERING
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Well, you've done so well.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32Your first and only appearance on Pointless
0:36:32 > 0:36:34and here you are in the final. We've put you through the ringer.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Let's just think of the journey we've been on.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38We started off with the Nato Phonetic Alphabet,
0:36:38 > 0:36:40then we had European Capitals and Cities of Culture,
0:36:40 > 0:36:43then we had Training Exercises, Rocks,
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Opera and Gerry Anderson TV Shows.
0:36:46 > 0:36:51And Supercar brought you swiftly here, which is fantastic.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53As always, you get to choose from the four options
0:36:53 > 0:36:54we put up on the board.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58Today's choices are these, and we've got...
0:37:08 > 0:37:11- Do you want to go for film? - Yeah.- The Number 12 In Film.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14The Number 12 In Film. OK. Very best of luck.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16OK, very best of luck.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18We're looking for anybody who was in the cast of any
0:37:18 > 0:37:21of the following three films, according to IMDb, please.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24So anyone credited in any of the following three films.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26We're looking for anyone in the...
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Very, very best of luck.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38OK, now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with
0:37:38 > 0:37:41three answers, and all you need to win that jackpot of £3,250,
0:37:41 > 0:37:46don't forget, is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47- Are you ready?- Yes, thank you.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53OK, I don't know anyone in 12 Angry Men.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57- But 12 Years A Slave - Benedict Cumberbatch, Brad Pitt.- OK.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- Um, I don't know...- I don't know how to pronounce that guy's name.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- Chechen... The guy that won the Oscar.- I don't know.
0:38:02 > 0:38:0412 Monkeys was Bruce Willis.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Um, I think Gary Oldman might have been in it.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09OK, I've not seen any of them, so I don't actually know.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12So are you happy with...
0:38:12 > 0:38:16- Benedict Cumberbatch, Brad Pitt and Gary Oldman?- OK.- Just as a...?- Yeah.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20- OK. OK. Because...- I don't know... - I can't think of anybody else.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23I've not seen any of them, so I don't actually know who was in them.
0:38:23 > 0:38:2512 Monkeys... It was definitely Bruce Willis.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27I'm sure it's Gary Oldman.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Do you want me to do Bruce Willis instead?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31No, cos I think he'll be not pointless, really.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Not pointless. OK.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36But he might be right, as opposed to Gary Oldman, who is not right.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38- Hm. I don't...- OK, we'll stick with Gary Oldman, then.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Yeah, Gary Oldman, Benedict Cumberbatch and Brad Pitt.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43- Ten seconds left.- OK. - OK, are you happy?
0:38:43 > 0:38:45- I think so, yeah. - All right, we'll stop the clock.
0:38:45 > 0:38:46If you give me your three answers
0:38:46 > 0:38:48and say which films you're talking about.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- 12 Monkeys... We're going with Gary Oldman.- Gary Oldman.
0:38:51 > 0:38:5412 Years A Slave - Benedict Cumberbatch and Brad Pitt.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57OK, Benedict Cumberbatch and Brad Pitt from 12 Years A Slave.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Of those three, which do you think
0:38:59 > 0:39:01is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:01 > 0:39:02Um, probably Gary Oldman.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- Benedict Cumberbatch.- Benedict Cumberbatch for 12 Years A Slave.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09- And Brad Pitt. - Brad Pitt sandwich. Yes.
0:39:09 > 0:39:10LAUGHTER There we are.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Let's put those answers up in the board in that order,
0:39:12 > 0:39:14and here they are. We've got...
0:39:18 > 0:39:19Very, very best of luck.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21If one of these answers, let's say Gary Oldman,
0:39:21 > 0:39:26turns out to be a pointless answer and you win the jackpot, £3,250,
0:39:26 > 0:39:28that is turning into quite a nice sum of money there,
0:39:28 > 0:39:31what would you do with that? Chrissie, you first.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34I'd probably buy a new cat.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36What's wrong with the old one?
0:39:36 > 0:39:38LAUGHTER
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- I just love cats. - Oh, very good. Sue?
0:39:41 > 0:39:45Take That are doing a residency in Las Vegas next year. So...
0:39:45 > 0:39:47- It's a shoo-in.- It's a given, really.- Surely!
0:39:47 > 0:39:49OK, well, let's find out.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Your first answer was Benedict Cumberbatch.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54In this case we were looking for cast members from 12 Years A Slave.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56If this is pointless, it will win you £3,250.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59How many people said Benedict Cumberbatch?
0:40:01 > 0:40:04It's right. Benedict Cumberbatch.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08If this goes all the way down to zero, you leave here with £3,250.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Down it goes through the 20s, through the teens.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Into... Not quite into single figures. 10.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18Not bad at all. Good score.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Sadly, not a pointless answer,
0:40:20 > 0:40:22but you've got two more chances to find a pointless answer.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26Your next answer, also from 12 Years A Slave was Brad Pitt.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Again, if this is pointless, it will win you £3,250.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Let's see how many of our 100 people said Brad Pitt.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Well, Benedict Cumberbatch took us all the way down to 10.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41Brad Pitt now takes us through the 50s and the 40s.
0:40:41 > 0:40:42Through the 30s...
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Into the teens...
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Passes 10. 9!
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Next one will be 8!
0:40:48 > 0:40:51It's going the right way.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53We're down to 9. We're into single figures. This is good.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Sadly, not a pointless answer, though,
0:40:55 > 0:40:58which means everything is now riding on your third and final answer -
