0:00:13 > 0:00:16APPLAUSE
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 > 0:00:27This is the show where all the questions have been asked
0:00:27 > 0:00:28to 100 people before the show.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30All our contestants have to do is come up with the answers
0:00:30 > 0:00:33that no-one else could think of. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36APPLAUSE
0:00:36 > 0:00:39And couple number one.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Hi, I'm Jon, this is my brother, Larry,
0:00:41 > 0:00:42and we're from Tottenham in London.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44- Couple number two.- Good afternoon.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47I'm Mark, this is my son, Ben, and we're from Hartford in Cheshire.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Couple number three.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Jo, this is my sister, Tasha, and we're from Woking.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- And, finally, couple number four. - Hi, I'm Hannah. I'm from Wimborne.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58And this is my friend, Taz, who's from Newport.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00And these are today's contestants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02APPLAUSE
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Thanks very much, all of you. A very warm welcome to the show.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show
0:01:07 > 0:01:10as it goes along. That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13He is so smart, his blood type is A*.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- Hiya. Hi, everybody. - APPLAUSE
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- Good afternoon to you.- And to you. - Are you well?- I'm very well.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I was very pleased that Larry and Jon are brothers cos quite often
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- I think people look alike and they turn out not to be brothers.- Mm.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Anyway, I was relieved, gents.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Two returning pairs from that last show.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Mark and Ben were knocked out in Round One.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37They've got a glint about them though, a hint of steel.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38I think they'll be all right.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40And Tasha and Jo already proved themselves,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43got through to the head-to-head. Going to be difficult to beat too.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46First two rounds, high culture, low culture.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Pointless spectrum. - Exactly right.- There we are.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Thank you very much indeed.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Jason and Vicky didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54which means we add another £1,000 to that,
0:01:54 > 0:01:58so today's jackpot starts off at £2,250.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06APPLAUSE
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Remember, the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:12 > 0:02:15will be eliminated, so keep those scores low.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34OK, the question concerns...
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Artists and their countries of birth.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- This is the high culture bit, just so you know.- Good, good.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46On each board, we're going to give you seven pairs of artists.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48They were all born in the same modern-day country as each other.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51We need you to tell us the name of those countries, please.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54There's going to be 14 pairs in all to have a go at home. Best of luck.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Thank you very much indeed.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58So, we are looking for the countries of origin
0:02:58 > 0:03:02shared by these pairs of artists. Our first board reads like this.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I'll read those all one last time.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Larry, a warm welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Straight in at the deep end of Pointless culture here.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Larry, from London. What do you do, Larry?
0:03:48 > 0:03:53- I'm a journalism student at Kingston University.- Good stuff. Enjoying it?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- Very much so, yeah.- Very good.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Have you worked out which avenue of journalism?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Yeah, sports journalism. - Sports journalism.- 100%.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Are you specialising already in sports journalism?
0:04:02 > 0:04:06No, third year, I get to actually take a sports journalism module.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08That's fun. So, what are you doing at the moment?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Is it still quite general?- Yeah, it's pretty much practical stuff.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I've just finished creating a magazine
0:04:13 > 0:04:17which I really enjoyed doing. It's a magazine for dogs called Dogue.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- I get it. So, Vogue with a... - Exactly.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Oh, that's good. Dogue. We like Dogue.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- I'd have called it Vanity Fur. - LAUGHTER
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- That's good.- There we are.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33OK, now, Larry, which pair of artists and country of origin
0:04:33 > 0:04:35would you like to tackle?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Really weak on art but I think I'm going to go Vincent van Gogh
0:04:39 > 0:04:42and Johannes Vermeer and say The Netherlands.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44The Netherlands, says Larry. Let's see if that's right
0:04:44 > 0:04:47and how many of our 100 people went for The Netherlands.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50It's right.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56APPLAUSE 64.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Yeah, nice start.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03Van Gogh was originally, very briefly, a teacher in Ramsgate.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- I never knew that!- There you go. How about that?- What about that?
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Mark, welcome back to Pointless.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- Thank you.- Remind us what you do.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18I work for a top-flight Premiership football team on hospitality.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- That is fun.- But I like to try and do all sorts of things, push myself,
0:05:22 > 0:05:24so just recently, I've flown a biplane
0:05:24 > 0:05:27and a couple of years back, I went skydiving.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- I've walked on fire, so... - You've walked on fire?- Yeah.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Do you mean you were on fire and you walked?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35No, what they do is they make a big pyre out of wood
0:05:35 > 0:05:38and they've got glowing embers and you walk across the top of it.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Is it all about the speed with which you transfer from foot to foot?
0:05:41 > 0:05:42It's about walking evenly
0:05:42 > 0:05:45and rolling your feet rather than walking flat-footed.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- A little bit hot. - David Frost once did a programme
0:05:48 > 0:05:51called Beyond Belief and they tried to explain different phenomena
0:05:51 > 0:05:54and he said no-one can explain this thing of walking across hot coals
0:05:54 > 0:05:56and a scientist said exactly that.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58He said feet are a very poor conductor of heat
0:05:58 > 0:06:00so, as long as you do it quickly, you never get burnt.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03And David Frost said, "Well, we may never know."
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- LAUGHTER - Well...- Yeah.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10OK, Mark, who would you like to go for on this board?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I'm going to go for the top one and say Spain.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16OK, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Spain.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:06:20 > 0:06:2364 is our only score so far.
0:06:23 > 0:06:2563. Look at that for grouping.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27And the right side of 64 as well, Mark.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29APPLAUSE
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Yeah, Picasso's dad was an artist
0:06:31 > 0:06:33and he gave it up when Picasso was 13
0:06:33 > 0:06:35cos he felt his son had surpassed him.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Oh, that's got to hurt, hasn't it? - That's annoying.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- Yeah, went on to become a teacher in Ramsgate.- That's right, yeah.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44The previous teacher had lost an ear somehow.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- No-one knows how, and he was called in.- Thanks very much.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Tasha.- Hi.- Tasha, welcome back to Pointless.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- You were our head-to-headers last time.- Mm-hmm.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57And then defeated in that last round. Remind us what you do.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I'm a teaching assistant in a primary school
0:07:00 > 0:07:02but I have a couple of other jobs as well
0:07:02 > 0:07:04because I am saving up to go travelling.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- What other jobs do you do? - I do some tutoring,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I do some after-school care, so, like, nannying,
0:07:10 > 0:07:13and I also work on summer camps and children's camps
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- during the school holidays.- That's quite a full curriculum there.- Yeah.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20How are your travel funds coming together?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Um, well, winning the show would be very helpful.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24All right, well, Tasha, what would you like to go for?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27We've got scores in the mid 60s at this point.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30I mean, either answer is going to be a guess
0:07:30 > 0:07:36and I'm going on the names and what sort of nationality they sound.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41I'm going to go for Katsushika Hokusai and Sesshu
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- and I'm going to guess Japan. - Japan, says Tasha.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Well, let's see if that's right
0:07:47 > 0:07:49and how many of our 100 people said Japan.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53It's right.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Well, there we are. That paid off. Look at that.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- 33. Well done, Tasha.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:08:00 > 0:08:04How were 67 people looking at those names and not kind of going,
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- "Yeah, I'd say Japan"?- Yeah. - What are they thinking?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- "I don't know. Is it Finland?" - LAUGHTER
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Hokusai is famous for that Great Wave painting,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17which is very symbolic over here, of Japanese art.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Taz, welcome to Pointless.- Hello.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Good to have you here. What do you do, Taz?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I edit content for an eco-friendly travel website.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Is that a sort of rolling thing, so you update it daily?
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Yeah, it's quite a new business, so we're still in the early stages
0:08:33 > 0:08:36but yeah, every day, I sit down and edit different tours and projects.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38And can you do that from home
0:08:38 > 0:08:40or is there an office where you all go along and...?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42At the moment, I'm doing it from home but, hopefully,
0:08:42 > 0:08:44if we get investment in the near future,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- we'll be moving to London with some offices, hopefully.- Very good.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- How long have you done it for? - Nearly six months now.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- OK, that's exciting though.- Yeah.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Exciting to see how the project grows.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56And what are your interests aside from that, Taz?
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Aside from that, I play ladies rugby for my local club at home
0:09:00 > 0:09:06- and also, in my spare time, I play the church organ.- Now, there you go.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- Pedals and all?- I don't always put the pedals in. Nobody notices.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Nobody notices the pedals.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Now, Taz, this board's all yours,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17if you wanted to go through it and hazard a guess
0:09:17 > 0:09:19at all the ones that haven't yet been guessed.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I was probably going say Japan, actually.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22It would have been a guess as well,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24but I think what I'm going to go for
0:09:24 > 0:09:27is Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt and say Austria.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt, Austria, says Taz.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Let's see if that's right
0:09:31 > 0:09:34and how many of our 100 people agree with Taz.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37It is right.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Look at that! 13. Very well done indeed, Taz.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Best score of the round so far.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- APPLAUSE - Great answer, Taz. Very well played.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Klimt is the one who's famous for the gold paintings.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54The Kiss is one of his.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Now, Paul Klee and Alberto Giacometti.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00It's not Italy, so you did well to avoid it. It's actually Switzerland.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Both Swiss. Would have scored you 4 points.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Edward Hopper and Georgia O'Keeffe?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- USA.- USA. Would have been a good answer.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Would have only scored 20.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09And Durer and Friedrich?
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- Germany.- They are both German and that would have scored 42.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15So, the best answer on the board is Switzerland.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- Well done if you said that. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:10:20 > 0:10:2113, Taz, well done.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23The best score of that pass,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26putting Taz and Hannah at the top of the table.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Then we travel up to 33, where we find Tasha and Jo.
0:10:28 > 0:10:3163, where we find Mark and Ben.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34And just a salami slice ahead of them there, Larry and Jon.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36So, Jon, it is all in your hands.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40We need a low score to keep you in the game. Best of luck with that.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49OK, let's put seven more pairs of artists up on the board
0:10:49 > 0:10:51and here they come.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I'll read those all one last time.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31There we are. Now then, Hannah, welcome to Pointless.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Hello.- Good to have you here.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- What do you do, Hannah? - I'm a support worker
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- for a disabled children's team. - Right you are.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42And how do you and Taz know each other?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44We actually went to university together.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- And whose idea was it to come on the show?- Taz.- Taz.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- Taz has the idea, I'm the yes person.- There you are.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Yes people are good. Now, you're on 13.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Lovely low-scoring from Taz has helped you out there.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58How are we feeling about this board, Hannah?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Um, I've heard of a lot of them
0:12:00 > 0:12:02but I have no idea where they come from.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- Yeah.- Um, yeah...
0:12:05 > 0:12:09I think Frida Kahlo is from Mexico.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- OK, so your answer is going to be Mexico for that.- Yeah.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15There you are on 13. If you can score 50 or less,
0:12:15 > 0:12:17you are into Round Two.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19That's what 50 looks like with your red line there.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Get below that, you're into Round Two.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Let's see how many of our 100 people said Mexico.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- It's right.- Oh, dear.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Very well done. Look at that.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Lovely low score there,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36equalling Taz's low score of 13 in the first pass.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- 26 is your total. - Good work on that last podium.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42They were married to each other, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- But she had a brief affair with Leon Trotsky.- Indeed.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Imagine having that gossip, if you knew Frida Kahlo.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52- "You'll never guess who she got off with. Trotsky."- Trotsky, no!
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Yeah, at that party. - Yeah, amazing.- Yeah.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- And then next month, "I heard he got killed with an ice pick."- I know.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- "Yeah, you know who got off with him? Frida Kahlo."- I know.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- There's an episode of Jeremy Kyle! - LAUGHTER
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- Now, Jo.- Hi. - Welcome back to Pointless.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Remind us what you do, Jo.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- I'm a student nurse.- That's right,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14and tell us about your interests, your hobbies.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17So, I play netball for my uni netball team.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18How often do you have matches?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Once or twice a week, training once a week,
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- so three times a week sometimes. - That's not too bad.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- But a great social life on the back of it.- Socials once a week, yeah.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Absolutely vital. Now, Jo, how are you feeling
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- about our pairs of artists? - Not very good.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38I think I'm going to do similar to Tasha and just guess on the names,
0:13:38 > 0:13:43so I'm going to go with Henri Matisse and Gustave Courbet
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- and go France.- OK, Henri Matisse, Gustave Courbet,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49France, says Jo. There is your red line.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Get below that, you are into the next round. Is it right?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56It is right.
0:13:58 > 0:14:0050.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I think you might have done enough there.
0:14:02 > 0:14:0583 is your total. APPLAUSE
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- Courbet was notorious for his often banned erotic works.- Mm.
0:14:09 > 0:14:14And ironically, "corbeille" in French means "waste paper basket".
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- So his name is essentially... - Basically, Gustave Bin.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20LAUGHTER
0:14:20 > 0:14:23There you go. So, now, Ben.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Bin, Ben, this is just... Whoa!
0:14:25 > 0:14:28HE MAKES EXPLOSION NOISE Ben, welcome back.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- Thank you. - Remind us what you do, Ben.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32I'm a second-year archaeology student
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- but I'm currently taking a gap year. - As an archaeologist,
0:14:35 > 0:14:39do you have all your tools with you or are they provided on site?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- You are meant to have your own trowel.- OK.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44But most of the rest of the equipment is provided for you.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48OK, so when you're applying to go on a dig, "Has own trowel" is...
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- You find a little tick box. - You have to bring your own trowel
0:14:50 > 0:14:53at my gym. A towel! I'm thinking of towel.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55LAUGHTER And, Ben, what are your hobbies
0:14:55 > 0:14:58aside from archaeology? I imagine archaeology
0:14:58 > 0:15:00is a bit of a hobby as well.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Archaeology, history, but for a long time,
0:15:02 > 0:15:06since I was about 14 years old, I went to the Air Cadets.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Oh, right, so have you flown?
0:15:08 > 0:15:10I've definitely flown, yeah.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- You weren't flying the biplane with your dad?- Interesting story.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18- I actually flew before him in the exact same plane.- Oh, that's fun.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23Now, Ben, 63 is your score. 83 is the high score, Tasha and Jo.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27So, if you can score 19 or less, we will see you in Round Two,
0:15:27 > 0:15:29which will be virgin territory for you.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- It will. - What would you like to go for?
0:15:32 > 0:15:36There's one I definitely know, but I'm looking at one of the others,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39and I sort of want to take a punt for it.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42I will go Wassily Kandinsky and Ivan Shishkin
0:15:42 > 0:15:44and say Russia.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Russia, says Ben. Here is your red line.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48If you get below that red line,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50you are definitely through to the next round.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52How many of our 100 people said Russia?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56It's right.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Not bad, not bad.
0:16:01 > 0:16:0429, taking your total up to 92. APPLAUSE
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Have you done enough, I wonder, to keep yourselves in the game?
0:16:08 > 0:16:13- And again, 71 people going Wassily and Ivan, Wassily and Ivan.- Hmm.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18- Um-mm-mm.- I'm going to go for Irish. LAUGHTER
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- Thank you. Now, Jon, a warm welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Good to have you here. What do you do, Jon?
0:16:23 > 0:16:26I work front of house at a theatre.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- Now, that's fun. Which theatre? - The Lyceum Theatre,
0:16:28 > 0:16:30the one that's currently showing the Lion King.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Do you watch it every performance?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35I've probably seen it maybe over 100 times
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- but I work on the bar mostly now, so I don't get to watch it.- I see.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41So, you spend up till the first interval
0:16:41 > 0:16:43going through things and getting all the orders ready
0:16:43 > 0:16:44with their little slips of paper.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Exactly, or more, just sitting down and reading.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49And when that's done, put your feet up,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51read through the programme - again.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Jon, what are your interests, aside from that?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57I'm a big football fan, follow Tottenham Hotspur,
0:16:57 > 0:17:02- and also a big movie fan as well. - Very good. Art and artists?
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- No.- OK, so what do you make
0:17:06 > 0:17:08of what's left on the board?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11I think I know one but I don't think it will be low enough to go through,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14so I'm going to take a guess, just from their names,
0:17:14 > 0:17:16at Anders Zorn and Carl Larsson
0:17:16 > 0:17:18and say Sweden.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21OK, Anders Zorn and Carl Larsson, Sweden, says Jon.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25There is your red line. Get below that with Sweden, you stay with us.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Let's see how many of our 100 people said Sweden.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32It's right.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Ooh, no, 33.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Bad luck there, Jon. That takes your total up to 97.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- A reprieve for Ben and Mark there on podium two.- Yeah, valiant effort.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Funnily enough, we'd have had lockdown
0:17:47 > 0:17:51if you'd gone for the bottom one, Ai Weiwei and Qi Baishi,
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- which is...?- China.- China. Would have scored you 28.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Raphael and Caravaggio?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- Italy.- Italy. That would have scored you 64.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02The best answer on the board, Arthur Streeton, Emily Kame Kingwarreye?
0:18:02 > 0:18:05I'm going to say, on the strength of the second name, Australia.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08It is Australia, and that would have scored you 4 points.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- Very well done if you said that at home.- Thank you very much.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14So, at the end of our first round, the pair we have to send home,
0:18:14 > 0:18:17with their high score of 97, Jon and Larry. As Richard said,
0:18:17 > 0:18:19that was a valiant attempt there, Jon.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Slightly deserved better recognition possibly, but still,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25we will see you next time and I'm sure you'll go much further then.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Meantime, thanks very much. Jon and Larry.- Thank you.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31APPLAUSE
0:18:31 > 0:18:34But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36APPLAUSE
0:18:39 > 0:18:40And so, we're down to three pairs.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Taz and Hannah, very well done. Our low-scorers in that round.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Mark and Ben, very well done for just scraping through there.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:18:59 > 0:19:02It's Darts. Can you decide in your pairs
0:19:02 > 0:19:04who's going first and who's going second?
0:19:04 > 0:19:08And will whoever's going first please step up to the oche now?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Let's find out what the question is.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:19:16 > 0:19:21to name as many darts world finalists as they could.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Darts world finalists, Richard.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Simply looking for the name of any man or woman who's appeared
0:19:26 > 0:19:30in a darts world final from 1978 all the way to the 2016 finals, please.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32That's PDC and BDO,
0:19:32 > 0:19:37so anyone who's appeared in a World Darts final, 1978 to 2016.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- Good luck.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43So then, Ben, we come to you first.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- Oh, dear. - HE LAUGHS
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Um, I genuinely have no idea,
0:19:48 > 0:19:53so I'm going to pull one out of the air and say Hank Jones.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Hank Jones.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- I can't think of anything else. - Hank Jones.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00We might want to just get the Monks of Lockdown on...
0:20:00 > 0:20:03LAUGHTER
0:20:03 > 0:20:06..on the line. OK, Hank Jones.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Ah, yes.
0:20:08 > 0:20:14Hank, "the something beginning with J" Jones, as his nickname was.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- They called him The Javelin. - Of course they did.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Cos he had really big darts.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21LAUGHTER
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Hank "The Javelin" Jones. Let's see if that's right
0:20:24 > 0:20:27and how many of our 100 people said Hank Jones.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28Let's see what happens.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Ah, yes. Yes, never made the final, I'm afraid.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Hank Jones, an incorrect answer,
0:20:35 > 0:20:37scores you 100 points.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Sorry, Ben, there will be darts players you've heard of
0:20:40 > 0:20:43but Hank Jones not an answer, I'm afraid.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- OK, now, Jo. - I'm in the same boat as Ben.
0:20:47 > 0:20:53We might need a bigger boat, is all I'm thinking right now. Yes, Jo.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Er...Dave Smith.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59LAUGHTER
0:20:59 > 0:21:03OK, Dave Smith. Let's see what happens with that.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Unfortunately, a wrong answer. That scores you 100 points.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- Richard.- Does sound like a darts player though.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16By the time this is repeated,
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- I bet a Dave Smith will have got into a final.- Got to hope.- Yeah.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25- Thank you, Richard. Now then, Hannah.- Um...
0:21:25 > 0:21:29I'm going to go down a similar route and say John Smith.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31LAUGHTER
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- I think.- OK, John Smith.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 said John Smith.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Yeah, there we are. John Smith. I see a pattern evolving here.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48OK, that scores you 100 points too.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- There we are. Richard. - It's going well, isn't it?- Isn't it?
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- I have to say, great darts scores, all three of you!- Yeah.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Very impressive. For some people,
0:21:56 > 0:21:58genuinely, this is the perfect round.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59There's loads of pointless answers
0:21:59 > 0:22:01and people at home will be able to reel them all off.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05But there are some obvious answers out there, that's all I'll say.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07There are some obvious answers out there,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10so let's just take a moment to ourselves
0:22:10 > 0:22:12and think of darts players.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16We all know the names of some players -
0:22:16 > 0:22:18not just likely names of darts players,
0:22:18 > 0:22:20actual names of darts players.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Let's just have a quick look at those scores.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24LAUGHTER
0:22:24 > 0:22:26100, 100 and 100.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29So, yes, Taz, Tasha and Mark,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32very close between the three of you, I'd say.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34We're going to come back down the line now.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Will the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:39 > 0:22:44OK, Taz, we are looking for any darts player
0:22:44 > 0:22:49- who has reached a world final.- I don't think I've got a good answer,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51but I do think I know a name of a darts player.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- Thank all that is holy.- I hope.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57So, I think I'm going to say Phil "The Power" Taylor.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Look at that! OK, well, you're joint high-scorers
0:23:01 > 0:23:04so, at this point, there's no red line for you.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Phil "The Power" Taylor.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16There we go. 36.
0:23:16 > 0:23:1936 for Phil Taylor takes your total up to 136.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- APPLAUSE - Thank you so much, Taz!
0:23:21 > 0:23:2516 world titles at time of recording.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27That is good. Thanks very much indeed.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32- Now, Tasha, we have a target here. - Yeah.- You want to score 35 or less.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Well, I thought Phil Taylor
0:23:33 > 0:23:37was the only one I knew then, just this second, one has come to me,
0:23:37 > 0:23:41cos my boyfriend would be so annoyed with me if I didn't get one,
0:23:41 > 0:23:45because he likes to watch the darts, so...
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- Phew!- And there's a chant that he does
0:23:47 > 0:23:49and that's the name that's just come to me.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51And the name is?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Michael van Gerwen.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Michael van Gerwen. There is your red line.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Get below that with Michael van Gerwen,
0:23:59 > 0:24:02you're through to the next round. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- Look at that, Tasha.- Phew. - Very well done indeed.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Through you go to the head-to-head for the second time.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14- Yes!- 11 is your score,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17111 your total. APPLAUSE
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Very well played, Tasha. Yeah, Dutchman Michael van Gerwen,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22one of the best players in the world.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25The chant is to Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28The darts is brilliant on television
0:24:28 > 0:24:32- and they all have walk-on music. It's really good.- That's good.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- Thank you very much and very well remembered, Tasha.- Thank you.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Now, Mark, we come to you. You have the same target
0:24:40 > 0:24:44- of 35 or less.- Yeah, Taylor was the only one I knew,
0:24:44 > 0:24:49so the person I'd LIKE to see play darts would be Roy Orbison.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52LAUGHTER
0:24:52 > 0:24:56OK. LAUGHTER
0:24:56 > 0:25:00This has gone on an entirely new and refreshing tangent.
0:25:00 > 0:25:06OK, the dear departed we would like to see with the arrows
0:25:06 > 0:25:08is basically what this has turned into.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12There is your red line. Roy Orbison. What's going to happen?
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- No.- Ah!- But that's fun though.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21That's a nice image, thank you. That scores you 100 points.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Takes your total up to 200.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26- Yeah, what a way to go! - LAUGHTER
0:25:26 > 0:25:29I thought you might have gone for Eric Bristow or Jocky Wilson
0:25:29 > 0:25:30or one of those guys.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Eric Bristow would have scored 33. Jocky Wilson would have scored 22.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36But loads of pointless answers here. Take a look.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Anastasia Dobromyslova - From Russia With Love is her nickname.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44She's a world finalist. Christian Kist - The Lipstick.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Deta Hedman, who I played with
0:25:45 > 0:25:48when I did Let's Play Darts for Comic Relief.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Women's world number one.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Fallon Sherrock, also a women's finalist.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Les Wallace, who's a world champion. Lisa Ashton also a world champion.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Scotty Mitchell, who comes onto Who Let The Dogs Out.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02He was a world champion, a lovely fellow as well.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Steve "The Bronzed Adonis" Beaton.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Tony O'Shea, the Silverback. Lots of other pointless answers.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Alan Norris, Alan Warriner, Andy Hamilton, Dave Whitcombe,
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- JEFF Smith. Jeff Smith. - LAUGHTER
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Can you imagine?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Mike Gregory, Phill Nixon, Rhian Edwards, Rod Harrington,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Ronnie Baxter, Tony David, Tricia Wright.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Lots of pointless answers and Phil Taylor,
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson were the big scorers.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Just cos there are darts completists out there,
0:26:28 > 0:26:29I'll tell you the 1-pointers.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Marshall James, Scotty Waites, Dennis Priestley,
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Trina Gulliver, Richie Burnett, Mark Webster, Richard Davies,
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Bob Anderson, Ted Hankey and Stephen Bunting.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38They were all 1 point scorers.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- Ted Hankey.- It's a good name, isn't it?- That's a good name.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- They call him The Count. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46So, at the end of our second round, the pair heading home,
0:26:46 > 0:26:48with their high score of 200,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Mark and Ben. I'm so sorry.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Mark, I thought you were going to ace that.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54- No.- For some reason, I thought,
0:26:54 > 0:26:56I don't know, maybe, on those big match days,
0:26:56 > 0:26:59you'd take a couple of minutes off to watch the darts,
0:26:59 > 0:27:03- but no, you're too busy. - I chat. Far too busy.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Serving top-flight hospitality.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Mark and Ben, it's been lovely having you on.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- Thank you so much for playing. - Thank you.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13APPLAUSE
0:27:13 > 0:27:16For Tasha and Jo, Taz and Hannah, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18APPLAUSE
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Congratulations, Taz and Hannah, Tasha and Jo.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27You are now one step closer to the final
0:27:27 > 0:27:29and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31which currently stands at £2,250.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:27:34 > 0:27:36So, we've reached the head-to-head,
0:27:36 > 0:27:38where we can confer before we give our answers.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44It started out with a very even gender balance at the start
0:27:44 > 0:27:47of the show and now, look at that, an all-girl head-to-head.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53APPLAUSE
0:27:56 > 0:28:00Here is your first question and it concerns...
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Actors playing astronauts, Richard.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Going to show you five pictures of actors playing astronauts.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Can you name the most obscure actor, please?
0:28:09 > 0:28:10Thanks very much.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Let's reveal our five actors in space and here they are.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39There you go. Five actors playing astronauts.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Taz and Hannah, you've been our low-scorers up to this point,
0:28:42 > 0:28:43so you will go first.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION
0:28:53 > 0:28:54OK, we think we know a couple
0:28:54 > 0:28:57but they're probably the higher scorers,
0:28:57 > 0:28:59so we're going to go for D, Sigourney Weaver.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01D, Sigourney Weaver, say Taz and Hannah.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05Now then, Tasha and Jo, that board's all yours.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06Do you want to talk us through it?
0:29:06 > 0:29:09So, B, Sandra Bullock.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11C, George Clooney.
0:29:11 > 0:29:17I think A is Matt Damon, but that could be a bit of a stupid answer.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- I don't think so.- But I think we'll go for B, Sandra Bullock.- Yeah.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23OK, B, Sandra Bullock, say Tasha and Jo.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25So, we have Sigourney Weaver and Sandra Bullock.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Taz and Hannah went for Sigourney Weaver for D.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Let's see how many of our 100 people spotted that.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34It's right.
0:29:36 > 0:29:4052. APPLAUSE
0:29:40 > 0:29:4452. Meanwhile, Tasha and Jo have gone for Sandra Bullock for B.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51It's right.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55And it wins the point. Well done.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57There we go. 23. APPLAUSE
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Well done, Tasha and Jo.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- After one question, you are up 1-0.- Well played.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04You don't get many people called Sigourney any more, do you?
0:30:04 > 0:30:07- Not so many.- Sort of fallen out of favour. Perfectly nice name.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- Perfectly nice.- Siggy for short. - Yeah, it's good.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Now, A. It is Matt Damon
0:30:12 > 0:30:15and Matt Damon would have scored you 48 points.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17That's from The Martian, of course.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19C. He was in Gravity with Sandra Bullock
0:30:19 > 0:30:21but this is from Solaris and it is George Clooney.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Big scorer though. 76 points for George Clooney.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26And the last one is the best answer on the board.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28It's from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30And it's Keir Dullea.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Very well done if you said that. 3 points.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Well done to our 100 as well. Good answer, right?
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Good answer, absolutely. Thank you, Richard.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37OK, here comes your second question.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Tasha and Jo get to answer it first, but Taz and Hannah,
0:30:40 > 0:30:43you have to win this one to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Our second question is all about...
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Chemical elements spelt with chemical symbols.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54We're going to show you a list of chemical elements now.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56If you put together all of their symbols,
0:30:56 > 0:30:58they spell the name of another chemical element.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03Which element is it, please? Five of them. Let's have a go, shall we?
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Let's reveal our five chemical elements
0:31:05 > 0:31:07spelt with chemical symbols and here they are.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24I'm going to read those all again.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- Now then, Tasha and Jo, your go first.- Um...
0:31:41 > 0:31:44INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION
0:31:44 > 0:31:48- Shall we just do that one?- Yeah. I think we only know one.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Well, we hope we know one. And it's the second one.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- Iron.- Iron.- Yeah. - OK, Tasha and Jo say iron.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59Now then, Taz and Hannah, do you fancy talking us through that board?
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Er, not sure about the top one.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04I think the third one down is copper
0:32:04 > 0:32:06and I think the bottom one is arsenic.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08I don't know about the other one, do you?
0:32:08 > 0:32:10No, I don't know any of them.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- So, we'll say arsenic for the bottom one, please.- OK, arsenic.
0:32:13 > 0:32:18So, we have iron versus arsenic. Tasha and Jo said iron.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19Let's see if that's right
0:32:19 > 0:32:22and how many of our 100 people went for iron.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26It's right.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Not bad at all. 27.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35APPLAUSE
0:32:35 > 0:32:39Taz and Hannah, meanwhile, went for arsenic for the bottom one.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Let's see if that's right and how many people said arsenic.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47It's right.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49And it...
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Ooh, 40 for arsenic. What about that?
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Very well done indeed, Tasha and Jo. APPLAUSE
0:32:53 > 0:32:56After only two questions, you are through to the final, 2-0.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59Very well played. That's surprising, I would have thought.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02But iron may have been slightly hard to work out
0:33:02 > 0:33:04cos it's so short and it might have put people off.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- Now, any good on the top one? - Yes, bismuth.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Yeah, B-I-SM-U-TH, bismuth.
0:33:11 > 0:33:139 points for that. You were right about copper.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Wouldn't have done you any good to say it.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17It would have scored you 31.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19The best answer on the board, though, is this next one,
0:33:19 > 0:33:23which is AS-TA-TI-NE, Astatine.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25It would have scored you 2 points,
0:33:25 > 0:33:27so very well done if you said that at home.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28Thanks very much, Richard.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:33:31 > 0:33:34our low-scoring pair up to this point, Taz and Hannah.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36The good news is we get to see you again and you get to do
0:33:36 > 0:33:39another Pointless game. We look forward to that very much indeed.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43- Meantime, thanks very much for playing. Taz and Hannah.- Thank you.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45APPLAUSE
0:33:45 > 0:33:48But for Tasha and Jo, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50APPLAUSE
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Congratulations, Tasha and Jo.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56You have fought off all the competition
0:33:56 > 0:33:59and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:34:07 > 0:34:10and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing
0:34:10 > 0:34:12at £2,250. There we are.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Well, look at that.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19You were our head-to-headers last time
0:34:19 > 0:34:22and you've taken it one step further. Here you are in the final.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24And we've tested you pretty hard on this.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26We've had artists and their countries of origin,
0:34:26 > 0:34:29we've had darts players, actors playing astronauts
0:34:29 > 0:34:31and we've had chemical elements.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:34:34 > 0:34:39Anything TV, I think. Anything low culture I think we'll manage.
0:34:39 > 0:34:44- Anything low culture.- Yeah, she's a bit of a Downton Abbey freak.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Yeah, Downton Abbey would be ideal.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48I don't think that's ever come up in this final round.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50- Well, fingers crossed. - What about that?
0:34:50 > 0:34:52They'd be furious at being called low culture, wouldn't they,
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- Downton Abbey?- I know! - Can you imagine?
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Lord Fellowes, do not listen to her. LAUGHTER
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Um, Jo, anything you want to add to that?
0:35:01 > 0:35:06Er, modern music, Beyonce, anything like that.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08There we are. You know what happens in this round.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11We put four things up on the board and it's just pot luck.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13We just have to hope there's something up there
0:35:13 > 0:35:17you like the look of. Best of luck. Today's choices are...
0:35:27 > 0:35:30I would probably go for the year 2000.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34I mean, we were alive in the year 2000, so that's always helpful.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36- US soul singers could be '50s, '60s. - Yeah.
0:35:36 > 0:35:41- So, shall we go for that?- Yeah. - The year 2000.- The year 2000 it is.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43- Yes, please.- Richard. - Very best of luck.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Having said that Beyonce is your favourite person,
0:35:45 > 0:35:48you're turning down US soul singers, you're quite right.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Let's have a look at the year 2000. Three very different questions here,
0:35:51 > 0:35:53so don't panic when you see the first one.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55We're looking for any goalscorers at Euro 2000.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Anyone who scored a goal in those finals at all,
0:35:57 > 0:36:00apart from penalty shootouts and own goals.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01We're looking for any actors
0:36:01 > 0:36:04credited with appearing in the 2000 film Snatch,
0:36:04 > 0:36:06the Guy Ritchie movie, according to IMDb.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10Or we're looking the winners of any award at the BRIT Awards in 2000.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13So, any act who won an award at the BRIT Awards in 2000.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15So, goalscorers at Euro 2000,
0:36:15 > 0:36:19actors in Snatch and BRIT Award winners in the year 2000.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:36:25 > 0:36:27and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one
0:36:27 > 0:36:30- of those answers to be pointless. - Yes.- Yes.- Are you ready?- Yes.- Yes.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. Your time starts now.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37- So, BRIT Awards. - OK, but I have one goalscorer.- OK.
0:36:37 > 0:36:43- I think Henrik Larsson.- OK.- We'll go for that.- I have no idea about that.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47- That's fine. Alex told me that... - OK, go for that.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51- So, um...- So, we need two winners at the BRIT Awards.- How old were we?
0:36:51 > 0:36:55- I was...- You were five and I was six. Helpful.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59- Um...Natalie Imbruglia.- Natalie Imbruglia is probably a good one.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02- Think about one-hit wonders of when we were...- That's, yeah...
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Noughties one-hit wonders.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Um... Or people that have had a comeback.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Natalie Imbruglia's a good one.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13- Robbie Williams, but that will be obvious.- No.
0:37:13 > 0:37:20- What about somebody like TLC? - Yes.- Um...- Er...
0:37:21 > 0:37:25- Yeah...- Oh...- Ten seconds left. - So, we're going for...
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Henrik Larsson.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30Natalie Imbruglia and...
0:37:30 > 0:37:31- TLC?- TLC.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- Because they'll have won the worldwide category.- Yeah.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37OK, that is your time up. I now need those three answers,
0:37:37 > 0:37:40and if you say which category you're answering, that would be great.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43OK, so for goalscorers at Euro 2000,
0:37:43 > 0:37:47- we're going to go for Henrik Larsson.- Henrik Larsson.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50And then winners at the BRIT Awards,
0:37:50 > 0:37:53we were going to go for Natalie Imbruglia.
0:37:53 > 0:37:58- Natalie Imbruglia.- And TLC? - Yeah.- TLC.- TLC.
0:37:58 > 0:37:59OK, three good answers there.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:02 > 0:38:06- I would think Natalie Imbruglia? - Yeah.- Natalie Imbruglia.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08We'll put her last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- Probably Henrik Larsson. - Henrik Larsson, we put first
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- and TLC in the middle.- Yeah. - OK, here they are.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Very, very best of luck.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24You seem to have some quite good ideas quite early one,
0:38:24 > 0:38:27some quite firm ideas. Natalie Imbruglia came up,
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Henrik Larsson came up very early. How confident are you of those?
0:38:30 > 0:38:32I'll be surprised if it gets points,
0:38:32 > 0:38:35I'll be surprised if it doesn't, so...
0:38:35 > 0:38:39Well, I mean, you've had some good advice so far
0:38:39 > 0:38:41- that's paid off in the darts round. - Yes.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44So, what if one of those were to be pointless and were to win you
0:38:44 > 0:38:48that jackpot? £2,250 not a bad thing to be taking home.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50What would you do with that, Tasha?
0:38:50 > 0:38:54Um, well, I hope, obviously, to go travelling this summer
0:38:54 > 0:38:59and also, any extra cash will help me with my PGCE year.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Especially, I get a chance to do a placement abroad,
0:39:02 > 0:39:06so I'd love to go to Australia, so that would be very helpful.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09- Very good. Great use to put it to. Jo, how about you?- Similar.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13When I qualify, I'd quite like to go abroad, maybe Australia,
0:39:13 > 0:39:15- train there for a few years. - Excellent.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Well, let's hope one of these answers wins you that jackpot.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Three confident answers and all of them, I think,
0:39:20 > 0:39:23in with a good chance of being right.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Your first answer was Henrik Larsson. In this case,
0:39:25 > 0:39:27we were looking for any goalscorer from Euro 2000.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30This has to be right, then it has to be pointless for you to win
0:39:30 > 0:39:35that jackpot of £2,250. Let's see. Henrik Larsson.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Is that a good answer? Is it pointless?
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Look at that! It's right!
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Henrik Larsson is a correct answer. So far, so good.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Now, if this goes all the way down to pointless,
0:39:48 > 0:39:51you leave here with £2,250. It's looking very good.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Down it goes through the single figures.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55You've done it! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:39:58 > 0:40:02- Well done, that's brilliant!- No way!
0:40:05 > 0:40:10What about that? Straight out of the tracks. Congratulations!
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Henrik Larsson was a pointless answer
0:40:12 > 0:40:16which means you go home with that jackpot of £2,250.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Tasha and Jo, how about that?
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Is there a story behind why you chose Henrik Larsson?
0:40:26 > 0:40:28We're going to have to take Alex out for a drink, I think.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32Yeah, basically, my boyfriend, Alex, is a massive Celtic supporter
0:40:32 > 0:40:35and he knows I'm rubbish with names and things like that,
0:40:35 > 0:40:38so he said, "Anything football related..."
0:40:38 > 0:40:41He's played for Man U, he's played for Celtic and Barcelona, I think,
0:40:41 > 0:40:44and he just said, "Go for Henrik Larsson."
0:40:44 > 0:40:48- No way! No way! Alex is his name? - Alex, yes. Thank you, Alex.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52Goodness me, Alex, very well done. How happy is Alex going to be there?
0:40:52 > 0:40:55He's not going to get the money, but how happy is he going to be?
0:40:55 > 0:40:57- We'll treat him.- I think he'll go for his claim.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01- I don't know. He's not here, is he? - No.- Let's keep it quiet.- Yes.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05That's brilliant. Henrik Larsson. Very well done.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Yeah, he scored against Italy for Sweden. Terrific answer.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10I'll make a couple of observations.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13One, you seem to get along very well for sisters.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16And secondly, you did really well in that jackpot round,
0:41:16 > 0:41:19cos the other answers, you wouldn't have got pointlesses with them.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- Natalie Imbruglia won in 1999 not 2000.- Oh!
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- TLC, though, would have scored you 2 points.- Oh!
0:41:25 > 0:41:29- So, once again, well done, Alex. - LAUGHTER
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Goodness me. Now, let's take a look
0:41:31 > 0:41:33at the pointless answers in the different categories
0:41:33 > 0:41:35for everyone at home who's playing along.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44The only people who scored points at all on that one,
0:41:44 > 0:41:47if you're playing along at home, were Alan Shearer, Michael Owen,
0:41:47 > 0:41:51Zinedine Zidane, Thierry Henry, Paul Scholes and Patrick Kluivert.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Every other goalscorer was a pointless answer.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56I literally can't get over Henrik Larsson.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58That is absolutely brilliant.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00People often say, "I'm going to go for a punt."
0:42:00 > 0:42:02The look of genuine shock on your face
0:42:02 > 0:42:05when that column started going down was fantastic.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09Now, actors in the film Snatch. Let's take a little look.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Some big names here as well.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Everyone in that film was pointless, apart from Brad Pitt, Jason Statham,
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Vinnie Jones, Dennis Farina, Alan Ford, Stephen Graham,
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Andy Till, Lennie James and Mike Reid. Everyone else pointless.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Well done if you got one of those.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27No Henrik Larsson in that film, weirdly.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29And winners at the BRIT Awards.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32There's only three pointless answers here, so TLC was a very good answer.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Beck, who won Best International Male.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Best British Female was Beth Orton.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38And Tom Jones, who won Best British Male.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40The scoring answers there - Robbie Williams,
0:42:40 > 0:42:43who I think you were going to go for, but it was the biggest scorer.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45The Spice Girls, Travis, TLC, Five, S Club 7,
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Macy Gray, Steps and the Chemical Brothers.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51One of the great endings to an episode of Pointless we've ever had.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54A pleasure, what a lovely thing to watch,
0:42:54 > 0:42:57and very best of luck in your future careers to both of you.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59- Thank you. - Thanks very much, Richard,
0:42:59 > 0:43:01and thanks, once again, to our winning players, Tasha and Jo,
0:43:01 > 0:43:06who go away with today's jackpot of £2,250. Very well done.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08APPLAUSE
0:43:08 > 0:43:11Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge
0:43:11 > 0:43:14to the test on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20APPLAUSE
