0:00:15 > 0:00:18CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28The show where the aim of the game is to score as few points as you can,
0:00:28 > 0:00:30and you do that by coming up with the answers no-one else can think of.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38And couple number one.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Hi, I'm Rak. This is Carly, we're husband and wife from Bristol.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Couple number two.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46I'm Ben. This is Mark, my father, and we're from Hartford in Cheshire.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Couple number three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49I'm Jason. This is Vicky, my fiancee.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50We're from Southampton.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And finally, couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Tasha. This is my sister Jo and we are from Woking.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59APPLAUSE
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03A very warm welcome to each and every one of you.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show as it goes along,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10He's the bard of the hard.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12The Pavarotti of the knotty.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- Hiya. - APPLAUSE
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Hiya.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- How are you?- I'm very well.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25You look well, as well.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Now, we do keep giving away the jackpot, don't we?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- I know.- And also, recently, we've given it away on rugby questions.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Twice, I think, in the last few shows.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35And the boys last time, Mike and Dom, three answers,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38one point, one point, pointless answer.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- That's what we like, isn't it? - Oh, we do.- That's eking out the tension of the show for us.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44It's perfect. Especially as they walked away with the money.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Only one pair coming back from that show, Carly and Rak.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Welcome back. Got through to Round Two last time.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Fingers crossed to see a little bit more of you this time.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Now, Mike and Dom, as you'll have gathered, won the jackpot last time.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59So today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02There it is. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04APPLAUSE
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Now, just remember this. The pair with the highest score at the end of
0:02:10 > 0:02:14each round will be eliminated, so keep those scores low.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Our first category this afternoon...
0:02:19 > 0:02:20..is Words.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23A Words round. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25who's going to go second?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33OK. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:02:33 > 0:02:39We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many words ending
0:02:39 > 0:02:43in E-L-L as they could.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Words ending in E-L-L. Richard.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49We are looking for any word in the British and world English
0:02:49 > 0:02:53section of oxforddictionaries.com, please, as of January 2016,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56that has its own entry and ends E-L-L, please.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59So any word in that dictionary that ends E-L-L.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01As always, no proper nouns, no hyphenated words.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Very best of luck.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05OK. Thank you very much.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10Yes, words ending E-L-L.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Oh, Rak.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- It's a toughie, this one, isn't it? - It is, it is.- Anyway, Rak,
0:03:15 > 0:03:17remind us what you do down in Bristol.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21OK, I'm a project manager for an IT firm, a procurement organisation.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23But in my spare time I like to do a bit of DIY, as well.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27So, Carly has a habit of picking out old houses, we move into them,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- they'd need lots of work. - Oh, you do them up?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- And sell them on?- Once we're ready,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- Carly decides it's time to move again.- So just when it's ready
0:03:34 > 0:03:37and you think, "Oh, I quite like this house," you put it on...
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Oh, oh.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- And it starts again.- Oh.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43But you haven't put your foot down yet, you quite enjoy it?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Quite enjoy it, but the next one we do is probably going to be the last.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Oh, that would be nice, wouldn't it? So is this every weekend, is it every evening?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Pretty much, yeah, pretty much.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Are there any areas of DIY you've yet to master?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- I should ask Carly that.- Yeah, she's probably a better judge of that.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01I think I'm OK.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Not bad. So, Rak, words ending E-L-L.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Sorry, you haven't had very long to think about this.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08OK, all right, I'm going to go with...
0:04:08 > 0:04:10There's a few I can think of, but some have an E at the end.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13So I'm going to try upsell.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I like that. Which is essentially your job, really, isn't it?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- Yes.- Upsell.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Let's see how many of our 100 people went for upsell.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25It's right.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Look at that. Down to one, Rak.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33APPLAUSE
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Down to one for upsell.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Very well played. What a great start to the show, Rak, terrific answer.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Upselling is a thing that really sort of annoys everybody,
0:04:43 > 0:04:47that when you buy something they attempt to get you to buy 15 other things at the same time.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Like guarantees or, you know, additional items.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- Oh, I see.- So they sold you something and then try to upsell you about 15 other things.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Oh, thank you.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58It's like if you're at the theatre and they try and sell you
0:04:58 > 0:05:01programmes and then they try and sell you all sorts of things.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Is that upselling or...? That's just having a programme, isn't it?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06That's just, well... ALEXANDER CHUCKLES
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Thank you, Richard.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Mark, welcome to Pointless, good to have you here.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- Thank you very much. - What do you do, Mark?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I work on match day hospitality for
0:05:14 > 0:05:17the largest Premiership football team in Manchester.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Well...
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Well, that's a... There's a contentious claim.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24LAUGHTER
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- That sounds fun, doesn't it? - It's great fun. Great fun. Love it.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29And do you get to see all the games, or...?
0:05:29 > 0:05:30- No, because...- Well, you're busy.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31You're in charge of hospitality.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Yeah, you've got seven hours of customers, they're all through the game and everything, so...
0:05:35 > 0:05:38So what sort of numbers, what kind of volume are you talking about?
0:05:38 > 0:05:41In our restaurant we've got 147 covers.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Are they well behaved generally, or do spirits get quite rowdy?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46I've got to say yes, don't I?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48ALEXANDER LAUGHS We all know what that means, Mark.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Very good. Now, Mark, words ending E-L-L.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Dispel.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Dispel, says Mark.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Let's see how many of our 100 people said that, but, crucially,
0:05:58 > 0:05:59let's see if it's right.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Oh, dear.- Oh, no, Mark.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08That may very well not be the last 100 points scored.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10I'm afraid that is 100 points to you.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Yes, sorry, just the one L at the end of dispel, I'm afraid.- Is it?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- Yes, sorry.- Thanks very much.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Jason, a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Here from Southampton. What do you do, Jason?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22I'm a health care assistant at the local general hospital.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24And what are your interests?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Fishing, movies, football.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Very good indeed. Do you do fishing offshore, or...?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- No, coarse fishing for carp. - Coarse fishing. I see.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37Right you are. Now, Jason, words ending E-L-L.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Um, I'm going to go for swell.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Swell says Jason.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44OK, let's see if that's right.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Let's see how many of our 100 people said swell.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51It is right. Well, 100 is our high score.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53One is our low, so we cover all bases pretty much there.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Swell takes us down to the lower half of that.
0:06:56 > 0:06:5823. Not bad at all.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Yes, to become larger in size, to swell.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Typically due to liquid of some sort.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- Thank you very much. - It's such a pleasure.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Yeah.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10- Now, Jo.- Hi.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Jo, welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14What do you do, Jo?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16I'm a student nurse from London.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Right. Whereabouts in London, what hospital are you?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21So, I'm at King's College, London.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25And will you be based there for the full term of your studentship, or can you move around?
0:07:25 > 0:07:29So, yeah, King's is the university and then you can be placed
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- in various different hospitals. - I see, right you are.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34And what are your interests, Jo?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36So, I play for my university netball team.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I get quite involved in that socially, as well.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43We have a black lab at home, as well, that I adore, so...
0:07:43 > 0:07:44OK. A black lab.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Sounds like somewhere where terrible things happen.- Yeah.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- But, um, actually... - Don't open that door.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Don't go in the black lab!
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Yeah. Jo...what would you like to go for?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I'm going to go for bluebell.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Oh, very nice.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Bluebell. OK.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03That got a little murmur of appreciation.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Our first murmur of the afternoon, Jo, so congratulations for that.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Let's see how far down the column we get with bluebell.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Well, 23 and one are the only scores left.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18You've passed 23.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Oh, there we are. Four for bluebell. Very well done indeed.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Good work, Jo, yes, a plant.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29A very photogenic plant, isn't it?
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Absolutely. Yes.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Bluebell woods, beautiful they are.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Very nice. - Blue in colour, which is...
0:08:35 > 0:08:37That's where the blue comes from. It comes from the colour.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39They're sort of bell shaped, as well.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Yeah, exactly, that's where the name comes from.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I think that's a lazy name for a bluebell.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- A little bit, isn't it? - Yeah, a little bit.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47I would call it, um, Steve, the flower.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48ALEXANDER CHUCKLES
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Another Steve, the flower?- Yeah.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Oh, look, and another one. - And another one.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54There will be a whole field of Steve, the flowers.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Oh...- Amazing.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58A little Steve, the flower for you.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- A little posy of Steve, the flowers. - Thank you very much.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- I should like that very much. Pop that in there.- Mmm.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Steve, the flower.- Let me just have a smell of your Steve there.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08How lovely.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Let's take a look at those scores and see where we are.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Rak and Carly, very well done indeed.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17One, the lowest score of the pass.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Then up to four, where we find Jo and Tasha,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22and then 23 is where we find Jason and Vicky
0:09:22 > 0:09:24and then up to 100, Mark and Ben.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Bad luck there, Mark.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31You took one for the team there because I'm sure other people will have had answers that only had one L
0:09:31 > 0:09:33at the end and they all had to reconsider. There we are.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Ben, you know what you have to do in the next pass.- Absolutely. - Best of luck with that.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45OK. So, Tasha, remember,
0:09:45 > 0:09:49we are looking for words that end with the letters E-L-L.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Tasha, what do you do?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I'm a teaching assistant in Year 2.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56In Year 2. Oh, that's nice. How long have you been doing that?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Since September. It's actually my year out.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00I've done an undergraduate degree and then I'm going back
0:10:00 > 0:10:03to university in September to do my teacher training.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- So that's for your PGCE, is it? - Yes, exactly, yes.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09And do you know what you'll teach, or will it be more general?
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Will it be a specific lesson, or...?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- No, it'll be primary.- Primary.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14And my preference would probably be Key Stage 1,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16so ages four to seven. Yeah.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Very good. OK, now, Tasha, there you are on four.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22The high-scorers, Ben and Mark on 100,
0:10:22 > 0:10:25so 95 or less gets you into the next round.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29OK, I'm going to go with the word cell but spelt with a C.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Cell spelt with a C.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Here's your red line.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35If you can get below that you are through to the next round.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36How many people said cell?
0:10:44 > 0:10:4637. APPLAUSE
0:10:47 > 0:10:4937 takes your total up to 41.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Yeah, can be the smallest functional unit of an organism,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54or it can be a small room in which someone is kept prisoner.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Often called a black lab.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00Thank you very much, Richard.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Vicky, a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Great to have you here. What do you do, Vicky?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I am a corporate affairs and policy manager at the same hospital
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- that Jason works at. - So did you meet at the hospital?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11We didn't meet at the hospital, no.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13We just ended up working in the same place.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Oh, that's nice. Do you work the same shifts?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19No. I get to do nice 9-5, 8-4,
0:11:19 > 0:11:21and he has to do shifts, so...
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Oh!
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Sometimes, presumably, you overlap?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Yes, sometimes.- That's good.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27And what are your interests, Vicky?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I like to watch movies a lot.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32I have a bit of an obsession with New York,
0:11:32 > 0:11:36so always looking into going there, I've just never been able to go.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39OK, well you have to win the jackpot and that will take you over
0:11:39 > 0:11:43to New York. Now, Vicky, there you are on 23.
0:11:43 > 0:11:4676 or less gets you into the next round.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48I'm going to say dwell.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Dwell says Vicky.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Dwell. Here is your red line.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54If you can get below that, you are through to Round Two.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56How many of our 100 people said dwell?
0:11:59 > 0:12:00It's right.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Very well done indeed.
0:12:04 > 0:12:0618.
0:12:08 > 0:12:1118, taking your total up to 41.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Yeah, to live somewhere specific, or to ponder upon something.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- To dwell.- Thanks very much, indeed.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Now, Ben. Ben.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- Hello.- Welcome. Good to have you here.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24What do you do, Ben?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I'm a second-year archaeology student,
0:12:27 > 0:12:29but I'm currently taking a gap year.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Is that the idea, that you then go off and dig in your gap year?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- Yes, that's right. - Have you been on digs so far?
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Not yet, but I've got some booked for the next couple of weeks
0:12:39 > 0:12:42and I've got one coming up in the next few months.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46That's exciting. In the UK, or further afield?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Within the UK, but I'm looking at trying to get a few abroad, as well.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Very good. OK. Now, Ben, you are our high-scorers at the moment.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55I'm sorry to say.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Yes, in fact the only feasible way you could stay in
0:12:57 > 0:13:00would be to find a pointless answer.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02And obviously then Carly would have to score 100.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Sorry, just had to supply that fact.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08I'm going to have a punt at retell.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11I like what you've done there, sir.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Retell. No redline for you there, Ben, as you're the high-scorers.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17But let's see how many of our 100 people went for retell.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20It's right.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Three.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Three, Ben.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30APPLAUSE
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Good effort there. 103 is your total.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Yeah, well played. Yes, to recount a story.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38It's funny, this round, isn't it, because we all know retell's a real
0:13:38 > 0:13:40word. We know it is. You use it in language.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42But when the lights are on,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44suddenly nothing sounds like a real word, does it?
0:13:44 > 0:13:47No. Oh, the phantom hyphens start hovering around, don't they?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Yes, exactly.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Oh, I hate phantom hyphens. - I hate phantom hyphens.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Although I liked their last album.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58A little bit progressive for me, to be honest, but there we are.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Thanks, Richard. Carly, welcome back.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Remind us what you do, Carly.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I'm a clinical trials pharmacist.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06But I'm on maternity leave at the moment.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09And what do you like getting up to?
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Well, I like to travel, but also taking the kids out, really.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15They take a lot of my time.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19So just taking them to parks, spend a bit of time with them.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Anything like that, really.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Do lots of things with other mummies that I know.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Excellent. Now, Carly, good news, you're through to the next round.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- Doesn't matter what you score.- OK.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32But look how well Rak did with his one there.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Do you think you can equal Rak's low score there, or even better it?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39I was going to go a bit risky, but...
0:14:39 > 0:14:40- Well, why not?- Yeah.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- You have a safety net of knowing you're through.- True.- OK.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I'll risk. We're through, so...
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Upswell.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Ah.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Ah, ha-ha, ha-ha.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Let's find out. Upswell.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Does that exist? And if it does, how many people said it?
0:14:58 > 0:14:59It's right!
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Ho, ho-ho, Carly.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05We could be looking at a record breaker here, I think.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Oh, we are! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Very well done indeed.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13That's a pointless answer and it adds £250 to today's jackpot.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17It takes the total up to £1,250 and it scores you nothing,
0:15:17 > 0:15:18leaving your total at one.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Very well done on podium one.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Simply an increase or an upsurge. That's a terrific answer, well done.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26And well done for actually going for the risk, as well, on that podium.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Sometimes people don't, do they?- No. - Even though they're definitely through.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Do you have an answer? You don't look like you do.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Oh, the boring ones,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37quell and mell. But...
0:15:37 > 0:15:39SIGHS I'm sure this is a word.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Phytocell.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43P-H-Y-T-O...
0:15:43 > 0:15:45A phytocell. You know, the really punchy ones?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47P-H-Y-T-O-C-E...
0:15:47 > 0:15:48A little room you have a fight in?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- That's the one. Yeah.- A phytocell.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52OK. If you'd said phytocell...
0:15:54 > 0:15:56..it would have scored you 100 points.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Oh, God! There we go.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- OK.- Now, let's take a look at some pointless answers.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03There's quite a few of them.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Bridewell, which is an old name for a prison.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Bridewell taxis used to be the name of the prison vans.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Clamshell, which is a shell
0:16:12 > 0:16:14but also any electronic device that opens like that.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Cockleshell. That's a lovely word, isn't it?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Gromwell, which is a type of borage.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Kvell, which is a Yiddish word for happy and proud.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Misspell.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27That's a, yeah...
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Outyell. Protocell.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Oh, that's the one I meant.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- Oh, OK, you can have it.- OK. Phew.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38- I'm sure you would have let one of the contestants had that if they'd said phytocell.- Yes.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Respell, also a pointless answer.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Some other really nice pointless answers.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Kettlebell, which everybody uses in the gym these days,
0:16:44 > 0:16:48is a pointless answer. Outsell is a pointless answer, amazingly.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Outsmell, also is a pointless answer.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53That's nice, isn't it? Let's take a look at the top three answers.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56The ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Tell, 74.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Hell, 81.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03And phytocell with 85.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06There we are. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09So we are at the end of our first round and I'm sorry to say the pair
0:17:09 > 0:17:11we have to say goodbye to, with their high score of 103,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Ben and Mark, it is you. I'm sorry.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- Dispel. Mark.- Well.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18You were in the right sort of area.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19I mean, some of those...
0:17:19 > 0:17:22I thought of clamshell and I thought it was two words.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24That's the way it goes.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Well, we'll see you next time, Mark and Ben, and I'm sure you'll be much better then.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29But meantime, thanks very much for playing. Mark and Ben.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:17:32 > 0:17:35But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42And so look at that, suddenly we're down to three pairs.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair
0:17:44 > 0:17:46in time for our head-to-head round.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Carly and Rak, I take my hats off to you for lots of reasons.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54Lowest individual score, lowest joint score, but, best of all,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56taking that kind of risk, Carly.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59That is the sort of risk we applaud on Pointless,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01so very well done indeed. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Our category for Round Two, this afternoon,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07is Radio 4 programmes. Radio 4 programmes.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:09 > 0:18:11who's going to go second.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20OK, and the question concerns
0:18:20 > 0:18:23multiple appearances on Desert Island Discs.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Multiple appearances on Desert Island Discs, Richard.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Yes, much less complicated than it sounds.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30We're simply going to give you six clues on each pass to famous people.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34The one thing they've got in common is they've all been on Desert Island Discs more than once.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- There's going to be 12 in all to have a go at at home, so very best of luck.- OK.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Thanks very much.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Let's reveal our board of multiple Desert Island Discs appearees
0:18:41 > 0:18:42and here they are.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14I'll read those again.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44There we are. Carly, so...
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- Um.- How many of those do you think you know?
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Not many.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51Um, sadly, it's not really something that I listen to.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55I'm going to go for the top one and I'm going to say Stephen Fry.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Stephen Fry, says Carly. Let's see if that's right.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Stephen Fry.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Look at that. Down to 54.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11A surprisingly low score, I'd have thought. 54 for Stephen Fry.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Yeah, his favourite song was the Magic Fire Music by Wagner.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18And his book was the Jeeves and Wooster Omnibus.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20There we are. Now, Jason, what would you like to go for?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25There is one I want to gamble on,
0:20:25 > 0:20:27but I'm not so sure I should,
0:20:27 > 0:20:31so I'm going to pop for the England manager and say Bobby Robson.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Bobby Robson, says Jason. Let's see if Bobby Robson's right.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Let's see how many of our 100 people went for that.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40It is right.
0:20:40 > 0:20:4254 is what Stephen Fry scored.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45You've passed that. Bobby Robson down into the 20s.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Look at that, 25. Very well done.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47APPLAUSE
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- Good score.- Yeah, he picked Frank Sinatra songs on both occasions.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Try A Little Tenderness was his favourite the first time.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Thanks very much, Richard.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Now then, Tasha, this board's all yours.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Do you want to go through those blanks and fill them in for us?
0:21:02 > 0:21:03I wish I could.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05I knew Stephen Fry.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09And luckily there's one left that I'm pretty confident about.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13The actress known for playing Peggy in EastEnders, Barbara Windsor.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Barbara Windsor, says Tasha.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Barbara Windsor.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22It's right. 54's our high score.
0:21:22 > 0:21:2561 for Barbara Windsor.
0:21:27 > 0:21:291970 and 1990 she was on.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Fings Ain't Wot They Used To Be by Bill Cotton was her track in 1970.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37And she wanted a Union Flag in 1990 as one of her luxuries.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Now. The violin virtuoso.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- Yehudi Menuhin.- Yehudi Menuhin.
0:21:44 > 0:21:4615 points for that.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Now, at the bottom there, the double Oscar-winning actress.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- Glenda Jackson.- Glenda Jackson.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Her book, she wanted The History And Creation Of A Japanese Sand Garden
0:21:53 > 0:21:55was the book she wanted.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58You've got to have a hobby when you're out there. And the yachtsman.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Is Robin Knox-Johnston. - Robin Knox-Johnston.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03And he was a pointless answer, so very well done if you said that.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Thank you, Richard. Right, we're halfway through the round.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Let's just take a quick look at those scores.
0:22:08 > 0:22:0925, the best score of the pass.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Well done, Jason and Vicky.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14I'd say you're looking pretty strong as contenders for the head-to-head
0:22:14 > 0:22:17at this point. Then up to 54, Carly and Rak.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Then up to 61, quite close,
0:22:18 > 0:22:20but a little bit ahead, Tasha and Jo.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23So, yes, let's see what happens in the next pass.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24We're going to come back down the line.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32OK, let's put six more clues up on the board
0:22:32 > 0:22:33and here they come.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00I'll read those all again.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- Jo.- OK.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29You are the high-scorers at the moment.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31I hope there's a nice low-scoring answer on that board
0:23:31 > 0:23:33that is leaping out at you.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36I only know one and it's probably the most obvious.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39So I'm going to do the natural history programmes
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- and go for David Attenborough. - David Attenborough, says Jo.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44No red line for you as you're the highest scorers,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47but let's see how many of our 100 people said David Attenborough.
0:23:52 > 0:23:5455.
0:23:55 > 0:23:5855, taking your total up to 116.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00He's been on four times.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- No?- Four times.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Only two people have been on four times.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Him and Arthur Askey.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Mmm, I wonder how his music tastes have changed.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Well, originally, it was a lot of classical.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15He was on in the '70s and every single song was by Van Halen.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17LAUGHTER
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Every single one. He said, "Well, look, this is going to sound crazy,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22"but I'm just so into this band at the moment.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24"This album is just amazing."
0:24:24 > 0:24:26He followed them around on tour.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- He has. Yes.- Absolutely.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Man, he loved them.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33He played keyboards on their 1982 live album.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- Live On Earth. - He loves Van Halen.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Live On Earth, yeah, that's what you call it.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Thanks very much. Now then, Vicky.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42What would you like to go for?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44The only one I knew for certain was David Attenborough,
0:24:44 > 0:24:47but I think I might know the top one.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51The Phantom Of The Opera is Michael Ball.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Michael Ball, says Vicky. Michael Ball.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Well, the high-scorers at the moment on 116 are Jo and Tasha.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58There you are on 25.
0:24:58 > 0:25:0090 or less gets you through.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03How many of our 100 people said Michael Ball?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Is it right? There's your red line.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09GROANS
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Bad luck, Vicky, I'm afraid Michael Ball is an incorrect answer.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15It scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 125.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17However, the round is not over yet.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Sorry, Vicky, not Michael Ball, I'm afraid.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22- Although he has been on. He's been on.- Oh, he has.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24I bet he would have done a rather good one.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Yes.- Don't you think?
0:25:26 > 0:25:30- Yes.- Because he's very entertaining and he knows about music.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- He is both of those. - Not unlike your good self.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34AUDIENCE CHUCKLES
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I'm just... I'm just saying.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Who's in charge of Desert Island Discs?
0:25:38 > 0:25:39It's Kirsty Young, isn't it?
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- I don't know if she's in charge. - No, yeah, but I bet
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- if she really put her foot down...- Yeah.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48I bet if Kirsty Young went into the office tomorrow and said,
0:25:48 > 0:25:52- "I want Xander to be on Desert Island Discs," they would kind of go...- Or you, or you.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55No, no, no. Also entertaining, also knows about music.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57No, I think you first. I would...
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Now, then, Rak. OK 54, this is exciting.
0:26:01 > 0:26:0454. The high-scorers are Jason and Vicky on 125.
0:26:04 > 0:26:0570 or less gets you through,
0:26:05 > 0:26:08but you have to find those answers on the board
0:26:08 > 0:26:10that you think will score you that.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Do you want to talk us through the board as it is,
0:26:12 > 0:26:14how many of those you can fill in?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17I wish I could, but the only one I knew was David Attenborough.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Oh, there's a lifeline for Jason and Vicky here.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23I'm not confident at all, so I'm going to take a random guess.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Novelist who created the detective Adam Dalgliesh, John Grisham.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29John Grisham says Rak.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32OK, here is your red line, nice and high,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34but you have to get below it.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38John Grisham. Is that right for the creator of Adam Dalgliesh?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42No, I'm afraid it's not.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46That scores you 100 points and takes your total up to 154, Rak.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Yes, not John Grisham.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49This is someone I don't mind having been on twice.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52The author. The wonderful PD James, that was.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55And it would have scored you eight points.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57I didn't think that was this scary a board.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58- No.- The top one?
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- Michael Crawford. - Michael Crawford, not Michael Ball.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04He's been on three times, Michael Crawford.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Three times more than us.
0:27:05 > 0:27:0734 for him.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08- The Australian comedian? - Barry Humphries.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Barry Humphries. He can be on twice, as well, that's all right.
0:27:11 > 0:27:1348 points for him.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15The Poet Laureate, that's the hardest one there.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Cecil Day Lewis. - Cecil Day Lewis, correct.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20- One point.- The actor?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- Is Alec Guinness.- Sir Alec Guinness. Absolutely right. 21 points.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24I don't mind him being on twice,
0:27:24 > 0:27:26because he was on once as George Smiley and once as Obi-Wan Kenobi,
0:27:26 > 0:27:28so I think that's fair enough.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30LAUGHTER
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Obi-Wan Kenobi, what eclectic choices, I have to say.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- He did.- His favourite song was that one they play in the...
0:27:36 > 0:27:39You know the one they play in the tavern, Mos Eisley,
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- the Cantina Band.- Yeah.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Wonderful. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45So at the end of our second round, I'm afraid...
0:27:45 > 0:27:49I'm afraid it's our returning pair, Rak and Carly,
0:27:49 > 0:27:51we have to say goodbye to. 154 your score there.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Oh, Rak, I thought you were going to pull it out of the bag there.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Might you have known any of those ones?- No. I knew the first one was Michael, but again,
0:27:57 > 0:27:58I didn't know his surname.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02Bad luck. It's been great having you on. Thank you so much for playing. Rak and Carly.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04APPLAUSE
0:28:04 > 0:28:08But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Congratulations, Tasha and Jo, Jason and Vicky,
0:28:15 > 0:28:18you are now one step closer to the final
0:28:18 > 0:28:20and the chance to play for our jackpot,
0:28:20 > 0:28:22which currently stands at £1,250.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Well, we are now at the head-to-head, where you can start playing as teams.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27You can confer before you give your answers,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30and the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Well, a lucky escape there with Michael Ball in Round Two.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Very lucky. And very well done, Tasha and Jo,
0:28:37 > 0:28:39some nice low-scoring there.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42And you've seen off our only returning pair, so that was no mean feat.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Here is your first question and it concerns
0:28:54 > 0:28:56UK Bridges.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58UK Bridges. Richard.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00We're going to show you five pictures of bridges from around
0:29:00 > 0:29:03the UK. We need you to tell us the names of these bridges, please.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05We've also included their initials.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five bridges and here they come.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10We've got...
0:29:36 > 0:29:39There we are. Five famous bridges from the UK.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Tasha and Jo, you've been our low-scorers up to this point,
0:29:41 > 0:29:43so you will go first.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46THEY WHISPER
0:29:54 > 0:29:57So, we're going to go for E, Westminster Bridge.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59OK, Westminster Bridge.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Westminster Bridge, say Tasha and Jo.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Jason, Vicky, all those bridges are yours.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- VICKY:- I only know E.- I know D.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13- Shall we go for D?- Yeah.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16We're going to go for D and the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Clifton Suspension Bridge, say Jason and Vicky.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21So we have Westminster Bridge and we have Clifton Suspension Bridge.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Tasha and Jo went for Westminster Bridge for E.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31It is right.
0:30:33 > 0:30:3463.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36APPLAUSE
0:30:36 > 0:30:40Meanwhile, Vicky and Jason have gone for Clifton Suspension Bridge for D.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:30:46 > 0:30:47It's right.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50And it wins you the question. Well done.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Look at that. Down it goes. 35 for Clifton Suspension Bridge.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Very well done indeed, Jason and Vicky.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58That means, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02It took 110 years to complete the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Amazing, isn't it?
0:31:04 > 0:31:06In the rush-hour, it sometimes takes 110 years to get across, as well.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- Now, A?- Iron Bridge.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12It's the world's first iron bridge and it is Iron Bridge.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16It scored 35 points.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19In Ironbridge, over the Ironbridge Gorge.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20What's it called again? Sorry, I...
0:31:20 > 0:31:22- Iron Bridge. - Oh, right, yes, gotcha, yes.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24B.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26- Forth Bridge.- The Forth Bridge.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29It's the biggest scorer, though. 67 points for that.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31And the best answer, it's in Derry,
0:31:31 > 0:31:33and it's the Peace Bridge.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35One point. Very well done if you said that.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39So here comes your second question.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Now, then, Jason and Vicky will be answering this one first,
0:31:42 > 0:31:44but Tasha and Jo, you have to win this one to stay in the game,
0:31:44 > 0:31:48so best of luck. Our second question is all about
0:31:48 > 0:31:51History's Hotties.
0:31:51 > 0:31:52LAUGHTER
0:31:52 > 0:31:56- History's Hotties, Richard.- Yeah, we're going to give you five clues now to historical figures who were
0:31:56 > 0:31:59famed for their good looks. Can you tell us who they are, please?
0:31:59 > 0:32:01OK, thanks very much indeed.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Here come the five clues.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05And we have...
0:32:26 > 0:32:28I shall read all of those one last time.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Jason and Vicky, you'll go first.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03We'll go with the top one, the Queen of France, Marie Antoinette?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Marie Antoinette, say Jason and Vicky. Marie Antoinette.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Now, Tasha and Jo, do you want to talk us through that board?
0:33:09 > 0:33:14I have a feeling, between us, that was probably the only one we knew.
0:33:14 > 0:33:15The Egyptian queen.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17- Take a guess.- Cleopatra.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Oh. Cleopatra.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- Yeah, we'll go with that one.- OK.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23- A stab in the dark.- Yeah.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25So we have Marie Antoinette and we have Cleopatra.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26Jason and Vicky said Marie Antoinette.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Let's see how many of our 100 people went for that.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34It's right.
0:33:36 > 0:33:3745.
0:33:37 > 0:33:38APPLAUSE
0:33:38 > 0:33:4145 for Marie Antoinette.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Now, then, Tasha and Jo have gone for Cleopatra.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46A bit of a punt this one.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47Let's see if it's right,
0:33:47 > 0:33:50let's see how many of our 100 people said Cleopatra.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Yes, it's Cleopatra.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56And that scores you 83.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57APPLAUSE
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Very well done, Jason and Vicky. What about that?
0:33:59 > 0:34:02After only two questions, you are straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Yeah, the top two answers on the board they were, as well.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07The Dutch dancer.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09What's she called? Mata Hari?
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Mata Hari, yes. Absolutely.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Would have scored 34 points.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15- The sheik actor?- Don't know.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16Valentino. Rudolph Valentino.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Would have scored you 20.
0:34:18 > 0:34:19And the romantic poet?
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- Lord Byron.- Lord Byron. And Lord Byron would have scored you 26.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25So Rudolph Valentino the best answer on that board,
0:34:25 > 0:34:27- well done if you said that. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30So the pair leaving us at the end of our head-to-head round.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32They were our lower-scorers up to this point, Tasha and Jo,
0:34:32 > 0:34:36- but we say goodbye to you. We'll see you again next time. Look forward to that.- Yes.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Meantime, thanks very much, Tasha and Jo.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39APPLAUSE
0:34:41 > 0:34:45But for Jason and Vicky, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Congratulations, Jason and Vicky,
0:34:50 > 0:34:52you have fought off all the competition
0:34:52 > 0:34:54and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:03 > 0:35:08At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,250.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Well, listen, you might work different shifts,
0:35:10 > 0:35:14but today you have been very much working side by side, which has been brilliant.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17I think only one misstep and that was Michael Ball
0:35:17 > 0:35:20but, apart from that, some brilliant low-scoring answers
0:35:20 > 0:35:23and fantastic, 2-0 in the head-to-head.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Anything you'd like to see come up in this last round, Vicky?
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Movies. Most definitely.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31I watch movies all the time.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35Music, or maybe Friends, because I'm completely obsessed with Friends.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37OK. Jason, anything you want to add to that?
0:35:37 > 0:35:39A bit of sport. Movies again, really.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Maybe a little bit of music.
0:35:42 > 0:35:43OK. Well, very best of luck.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46As always, you get to choose your category from the four on the board,
0:35:46 > 0:35:49but let's hope there's something you like the look of up there.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Today's selection looks like this.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53We have...
0:36:01 > 0:36:03- I'd like Acting Jennifers.- Yeah.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05I don't know about you.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Definitely not Royal Families, or Crime Writers.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11- Do want to go for...? - Acting Jennifers, yeah.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13OK. Acting Jennifers it is. Richard.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16Acting Jennifers are the Jennifers that come into work
0:36:16 > 0:36:18when the real Jennifer is off.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20You need an acting Jennifer.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24Very best of luck. If you know your films, I think this category might suit you.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28We are looking for any films up to the end of February 2016
0:36:28 > 0:36:31for which Jennifer Lopez has received an acting credit,
0:36:31 > 0:36:32according to IMDb.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Or any films for which Jennifer Garner has received an acting credit.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Or Jennifer Lawrence.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41So any films up to the end of February 2016, according to IMDb,
0:36:41 > 0:36:43that stars any of these three.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46As always, no short films, no TV films, documentaries, anything like that,
0:36:46 > 0:36:48but voice performances do count.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Very, very best of luck.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Thanks, Richard. Now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:36:52 > 0:36:55to come up with three answers and all you need to win that jackpot
0:36:55 > 0:36:57is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59- Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01OK. Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06So, Jennifer Lawrence was in...
0:37:06 > 0:37:09The obvious ones like The Hunger Games.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12- Yeah.- Jennifer Garner might have been in Fantastic Four.
0:37:12 > 0:37:13I don't know if that's her.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Is she in that boxing movie?
0:37:15 > 0:37:18I don't know. What's that called?
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Clint Eastwood directed it.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- Million Dollar Baby.- Million Dollar Baby, maybe, I don't know.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Jennifer Lawrence was also in Silver Linings Playbook.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- And Cell. - Was The Cell Jennifer Lopez?
0:37:30 > 0:37:31I think so.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35It was the odd film that she was in a few years ago.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Go for that anyway.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40I don't know any of the Jennifer Garner films.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44I'm trying to picture if it's the same person that I'm thinking of. I'm not sure it's the right one.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Go for Mockingjay.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- No. Part- 2. Yeah.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52Because we've said The Cell and we've said Silver Linings Playbook.
0:37:52 > 0:37:53Ten seconds left.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55- That's it.- And...
0:37:55 > 0:37:56We can try Million Dollar Baby.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Is she married to the...?
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- I think she's married to Ben Affleck.- That's the fella. Try that.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04- OK.- OK, that is your time up.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06It sounds like you've arrived at your three answers.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09If you could give me those and say which category your answers are.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- OK, so, for Jennifer Lopez films, The Cell.- The Cell.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14For Jennifer Garner films, Million Dollar Baby.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16- Million Dollar Baby. - And for Jennifer Lawrence films,
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Silver Linings Playbook.
0:38:18 > 0:38:19Silver Linings Playbook.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Now, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- Probably Silver Linings.- Silver Linings Playbook we'll put last.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- Million Dollar Baby. - Million Dollar Baby we'll put first.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then, and here they are.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37We have got Million Dollar Baby,
0:38:37 > 0:38:38The Cell
0:38:38 > 0:38:40and Silver Linings Playbook.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Well, very, very best of luck. Three good answers on the board.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Maybe one of those will be pointless.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47At least one of those might be pointless and win you that jackpot.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51Now, £1,250, what would you do with that? Jason, you first?
0:38:51 > 0:38:55Um, I think we'd go on holiday to Iceland for the Northern Lights
0:38:55 > 0:38:58- and whale watching.- Lovely.
0:38:58 > 0:38:59Vicky, anything you want to add to that?
0:38:59 > 0:39:02The same, because that's not enough to get to New York,
0:39:02 > 0:39:04so we'll go to Iceland instead.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08Lovely. Fingers tightly crossed that one of these will win that jackpot
0:39:08 > 0:39:11for you. Your first answer was Million Dollar Baby.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13In this case, we were looking for Jennifer Garner films.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Only one of these answers has to be pointless for you to win that
0:39:15 > 0:39:18jackpot, so let's find out, for £1,250,
0:39:18 > 0:39:21how many people said Million Dollar Baby.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Is it right, is it pointless?
0:39:26 > 0:39:27No! Bad luck.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32Bad luck. Million Dollar Baby not a Jennifer Garner film, unfortunately.
0:39:32 > 0:39:33Not a pointless answer,
0:39:33 > 0:39:36which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Your next answer was The Cell.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42In this case, we were looking for Jennifer Lopez movies.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Again, it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47So, for £1,250, let's see how many people said The Cell.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52It's right.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Now, your first answer, Million Dollar Baby,
0:39:54 > 0:39:56turned out to be an incorrect answer,
0:39:56 > 0:39:58but The Cell takes us down through the 20s
0:39:58 > 0:40:00and into the teens.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Into single figures... Down it goes.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Oh! Three points.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06APPLAUSE
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Nearly.
0:40:10 > 0:40:11Three people said The Cell.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13That's a fantastic score.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Sadly, not a pointless answer,
0:40:15 > 0:40:18which means everything's now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:18 > 0:40:20which is Silver Linings Playbook.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23In this case, we were looking for Jennifer Lawrence movies.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25We have to hope that nobody said this.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28If nobody said it, it will win you £1,250.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Very best of luck. How many people said Silver Linings Playbook?
0:40:35 > 0:40:37It's right.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Million Dollar Baby, your first answer, was incorrect.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41The Cell took us all the way down to three.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45Silver Linings Playbook now taking us down through the teens.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Down into single figures, down it goes...
0:40:47 > 0:40:48- Oh, bad luck.- Never mind.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50APPLAUSE
0:40:50 > 0:40:51Never mind.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Two fantastic answers there,
0:40:55 > 0:40:58two lovely low scores that you'd be very pleased with in any other round
0:40:58 > 0:41:01of Pointless. Sadly, though, you didn't find the pointless answer
0:41:01 > 0:41:03we needed to give you that jackpot,
0:41:03 > 0:41:06so I'm afraid that £1,250 will roll over onto the next show,
0:41:06 > 0:41:09but what a strong performance right the way through the show.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12You'll be really proud of what you've managed to do in the show.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14I mean, great, low-scoring answers.
0:41:14 > 0:41:162-0 in the head-to-head, which is no mean feat.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19And you get a Pointless trophy each, so very well done indeed.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Jason and Vicky. APPLAUSE
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Yeah, well played. Not a bad final category for you there,
0:41:28 > 0:41:30and there will be answers on this board that...
0:41:30 > 0:41:33There'll be the odd one or two, I'm sure of that.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35We'll start with Jennifer Lopez films.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Jersey Girl. She's in with Ben Affleck.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Parker with Jason Statham.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42Shall We Dance, Richard Gere.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45What To Expect When You're Expecting is a pointless answer.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47A few others. An Unfinished Life,
0:41:47 > 0:41:49a couple of voice performances she was in, as well.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Antz, Ice Age Continental Drift. They were both pointless answers.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Blood And Wine, Bordertown.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Home. Jack. My Family.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57My Little Girl and The Back-up Plan. All of those are pointless answers.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Well done if you said one of those.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Jennifer Garner now.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04She's in the 2011 remake of Arthur.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06She's in Dallas Buyers Club, as well.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Would have been a really good answer.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Deconstructing Harry. Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Her big scorers there, Daredevil, 13 Going On 30, and Elektra.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Even Dude, Where's My Car? got one point.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20I'd have been furious if I'd come up with Dude, Where's My Car?
0:42:20 > 0:42:22for Jennifer Garner and not won a jackpot.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24I would have smashed the studio up.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27- I would not have been happy.- No.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Jennifer Lawrence now.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Garden Party, House At The End Of The Street is a pointless answer.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37The Devil You Know, X-Men: First Class was a pointless answer.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40As was X-Men: Days Of Future Past.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43The Burning Plain, The Poker House and The Beaver
0:42:43 > 0:42:44were all pointless answers.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Very well done if you got any of those at home
0:42:46 > 0:42:48and unlucky in the studio.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50- Great fun, though, wasn't it? A lovely show.- Fantastic.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Well, Jason and Vicky very sadly didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:53 > 0:42:55which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:42:55 > 0:42:58when we will be playing for £2,250.
0:42:58 > 0:42:59- AUDIENCE:- Woo!
0:42:59 > 0:43:01APPLAUSE
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
