0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Larry, this is my brother, Jon,
0:00:54 > 0:00:56and we're from Tottenham in North London.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59APPLAUSE
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Thank you very much, everyone.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Welcome to Pointless.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Lovely to have you here.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show
0:01:06 > 0:01:07as it goes along.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12He's the only quiz show sidekick visible from space.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- APPLAUSE - Hiya.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Hey, everybody.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Good afternoon.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Good afternoon to you.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Good afternoon.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26What an extraordinary end to the last show.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Wasn't it amazing? Tasha and Joe.- Yeah.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30So, they got this question, it was about the year 2000.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Various questions came up
0:01:32 > 0:01:34and one of the questions was a football question.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Tasha said that her boyfriend, Alex,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38had said before she came on the show,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40she knows nothing about football, nothing.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42He said, "Remember one name."
0:01:42 > 0:01:44He said, "Remember the name Henrik Larsson,"
0:01:44 > 0:01:47cos Henrik Larsson played for Celtic, he played for Man United,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49played internationally. He said, "Remember that name."
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Question came up - scorers in Euro 2000.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54She said, "We might as well just say Henrik Larsson,
0:01:54 > 0:01:55"cos Alex said,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58"if there's a football question, say Henrik Larsson."
0:01:58 > 0:02:01And he had scored in Euro 2000 and they won £2,250.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- It's not bad going, is it?- Not bad.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06So, Alex was very, very happy with himself, sitting at home.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Amazing ending, wasn't it?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Two pairs back from that show.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12We've got Larry and Jon, who got knocked out in Round One,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15and Taz and Hannah, who got all the way through to that head-to-head.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Are you happy about that lovely good luck story?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- Yeah.- Yeah.- Let's go with "Yeah."
0:02:19 > 0:02:21That's gracious, isn't it?
0:02:21 > 0:02:22LAUGHTER
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Thanks very much.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25So, yes, Tasha and Joe won the jackpot last time.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29So, today's jackpot therefore starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32There it is. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36APPLAUSE
0:02:36 > 0:02:38So, here's the deal -
0:02:38 > 0:02:40the pair with the highest score
0:02:40 > 0:02:42at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44So, keep those scores low.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Very, very best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Our first category today is...
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Can you all decide, in your pairs,
0:02:52 > 0:02:55who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:02:55 > 0:02:56And whoever's going first,
0:02:56 > 0:02:58please step up to the podium.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:03:07 > 0:03:10as many...
0:03:14 > 0:03:18US states containing the letters P, R, E, or S, Richard.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20So, we're looking for any of the 50 states
0:03:20 > 0:03:23that have one of those four letters anywhere in their names, please.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- Very best of luck.- There we are.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Thanks very much.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Annette, welcome to Pointless. - Hello!
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- What do you do, Annette? - I'm a local government officer.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Which department, locally?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- Oh, it's income.- Income.- Income.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38That's a nice department to be in, isn't it? Surely.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39What are your hobbies, Annette?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I like photography, I love music,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45but sadly, I'm an Eddie Stobart spotter.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47What possibly could be sad about that?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50I do have a lorry named after myself, Annette Kim.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52That's fantastic.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Because you are a Stobart supporter?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Because... Yeah, because I'm in the club.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57Good stuff. Anyway, now, Annette.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59US states. Always tough, going first.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Yep.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I'm going to go with Arkansas.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Arkansas, says Annette. Arkansas.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Let's see if that's right,
0:04:07 > 0:04:10let's see how many of our 100 people said Arkansas.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19CHEERING
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Not bad at all. Look at that.- That'll do.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24APPLAUSE 11 for Arkansas.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25Very well played.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Yeah, Arkansas is a very good answer on that first podium.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30The greatest producer of rice in America.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Oh, they are the greatest, aren't they?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35I mean, there are people who produce more, but they're the greatest.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37They're the greatest. No, they are the greatest by volume,
0:04:37 > 0:04:38- as you well know.- Yeah.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Lovely Arkansas rice.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Ahh!
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Long grain?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- That's what they call me. - LAUGHTER
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Thanks, Richard. Taz, welcome back.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51So, head-to-head last time, Taz.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Got to be hoping to take that one step further this time.- Hopefully.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55Remind us what you do, Taz.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59So, I'm a content editor for an eco-friendly travel website.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- That's right. Still in its first stages.- Yeah.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Set up six months ago.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Are you supported by advertising,
0:05:04 > 0:05:05or how does it fund itself?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09We do a lot of things through social media, have competitions.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Very, very good. And what are your interests, Taz?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13So, I play ladies' rugby
0:05:13 > 0:05:14for my home team.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16What's your home team?
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Croesyceiliog Ladies.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18Oh, that's a good name.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Croesyceiliog Ladies.- Yep.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- Excellent.- Quite into my travel as well. I do some...
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Have you been across the States?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26No, not ventured that far.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28OK, how confident are you feeling?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Well, I know there's lots,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32but I'm struggling to think of any obscure ones,
0:05:32 > 0:05:34but I think I'm going to go for Oregon.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Oregon, says Taz. Oregon.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Oregon.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Look at that, 16. APPLAUSE
0:05:48 > 0:05:51We now have our high and low.
0:05:51 > 0:05:5316 for Oregon.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Yes, known as the Beaver State.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59That's nice. LAUGHTER
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Nadeem, welcome to Pointless.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Hello.- Good to have you here. What do you do, Nadeem?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- I'm a dentist.- Oh, I'm so glad.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Cos I have a... LAUGHTER
0:06:07 > 0:06:08I'll talk to you about it later.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10How long have you been a dentist for?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I've been working for about a year now
0:06:12 > 0:06:14after graduating at the University of Sheffield.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Where's your practice?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I work in a practice in Leighton Buzzard, in Bedfordshire, currently.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21It would be fun, being a dentist.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22- Do you think? - I think it'd be fun.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I think it takes a lot of skill.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- It does.- I think I would...
0:06:26 > 0:06:29I'm not sure I'd have the fine motor skills needed for it.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31I'm just thinking, keeping up that conversation
0:06:31 > 0:06:34when you have a dental nurse that you just...
0:06:34 > 0:06:36you just say stuff to.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- Oh, yes.- "A1..."
0:06:38 > 0:06:40I don't understand what it means.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42I think it's the shipping forecast, I think.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44That's entirely made up.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Or when they say, "B4," and all that kind of stuff.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50"B4, rising slowly."
0:06:50 > 0:06:52It'd be fun. Now, Nadeem,
0:06:52 > 0:06:56any US state that contains the letters P, R, E or S.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I think I'm going to go with Nebraska.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Nebraska, says Nadeem.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Let's see how many of 100 people went for Nebraska.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09It's right. Well, 16's our high score, 11 is our low.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Oh, look at that. We have a new low. 4.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Very well done indeed, Nadeem. APPLAUSE
0:07:18 > 0:07:194 for Nebraska.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20It's a great answer. Well played.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22It's the Cornhusker State.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- Corn-HUSKER?- The Cornhusker.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Yeah.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Is that a bird?- The Cornhusker?
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Is it a plane?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31No, it is the act of husking corn.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34I see.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Yeah, I think they might have been last in the line
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- for state nicknames.- I think they might have been, yeah.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40There we are. Thank you, Richard.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41- Now, Larry.- Hello.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Welcome back to Pointless.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Remind us what you do, Larry.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I'm a journalism student at Kingston University.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48That's right, in your second year there.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Second year.- We discovered last time
0:07:50 > 0:07:53that Larry has just published a glossy magazine for dogs
0:07:53 > 0:07:54as part of his studies,
0:07:54 > 0:07:56called Dogue. LAUGHTER
0:07:56 > 0:07:57I like that.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00How many pages did Dogue run to?
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Around the 40 mark.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03That's a lot.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05That's a lot of pages for a busy dog about town.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Larry, so, yes, and you have your eyes
0:08:08 > 0:08:11sort of focused on sports journalism at the moment.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Any particular sport you would like to cover?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Well, I love all sports - football, boxing, Formula 1 -
0:08:17 > 0:08:19but I'm hoping to get into writing about football.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22OK, and it's print journalism you'd want to do?
0:08:22 > 0:08:23- Yeah.- Oh, that's fun.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Larry, there we are. We've had a range of states.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Scores from 16 to 4.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31What are you going to go for?
0:08:31 > 0:08:32I'm going to go for Wisconsin.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Wisconsin, says Larry.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Wisconsin.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40It's right.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43As I mentioned, 16's our high score, 4 is our low.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Wisconsin passes 16.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Nestles down, near the 4 there, at 7.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52APPLAUSE
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Yeah, and that's called the Badger State, Wisconsin,
0:08:55 > 0:08:57but not because badgers are from there.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59It's because the earliest settlers were lead miners
0:08:59 > 0:09:01and they would just burrow into the hills
0:09:01 > 0:09:04rather than make more permanent dwellings.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- There we are. - What do you think about that?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I don't really have a comeback to that.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- I mean, that is, yeah... - Just give me some validation.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Say, "You've done really well there."
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Oh, sorry, Richard. I like that very much.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Ahh! No...
0:09:17 > 0:09:19LAUGHTER
0:09:19 > 0:09:20The Badger State. What about that?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Not even named after old Brock.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- No, it wasn't, it was people. - It was people.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Yeah. Yeah.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27- Burrowing.- I think I did really well.- Yeah.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- That's a good fact.- Thank you. - Thank you Richard.- (Yes!)
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Now, we're halfway through the round.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33Let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:33 > 0:09:354 - well done, Nadeem, the best score of that pass.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Then up to 7, where we find Larry and Jon.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Then up to 11, Annette and Maja.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42And then up to 16, where we find Taz and Hannah.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45So, yes, Hannah, we need a low score from you in the next pass.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46So, good luck with that.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48We're going to come back down the line now.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Jon, welcome back, remind us what you do.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57I work front-of-house at the Lyceum Theatre.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I think that's just a fantastic job.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00That's enormous fun.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02And as we discovered, running the bar.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Which of the bars?
0:10:04 > 0:10:05You work in any of them.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07There's three bars, cos there's three levels.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Is there a favourite bar?
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Which is the nicest?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12I think people tip better in the stalls bar, so...
0:10:12 > 0:10:13that's probably my favourite.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15They're the more expensive seats?
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Yeah.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Does that mean, by the time the interval is over,
0:10:18 > 0:10:19your work is largely done?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Yeah, when the interval's over, I go home.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Oh-ho-ho! Well, that's nice!
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Now, Jon, you're on 7.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28The highest scorers at the moment on 16 are Taz and Hannah,
0:10:28 > 0:10:30which means, if you can score 8 or less,
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- you are definitely into the next round.- OK.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I'm going to go with... I hope it's a state.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I'm going to go with South Dakota.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39South Dakota, says Jon.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41South Dakota. Here is your red line.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42If you can get below that red line,
0:10:42 > 0:10:44you are definitely in the next round.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Let's seen how many people said South Dakota.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Look at that.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56Very well done indeed. 15. APPLAUSE
0:10:56 > 0:10:58It takes your total up to 22.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00I think you have done enough there, Jon.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Home of the mashed potato wrestling competition...
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Oh!
0:11:06 > 0:11:07..which is wrestling in mashed potato
0:11:07 > 0:11:09rather than wrestling mashed potato.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11The Mashed Potato Wrestling State.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13That's a lovely tradition, isn't it?
0:11:13 > 0:11:17What if it's an enormous potato and you fight inside the jacket?
0:11:17 > 0:11:18- A jackets-on fight?- That'd be good!
0:11:18 > 0:11:20And you go in when it's solid.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23You have to work your way through the potato
0:11:23 > 0:11:25and then, when the victor leaves,
0:11:25 > 0:11:26dragging out the...
0:11:26 > 0:11:29his opponent, the potato is mashed.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Perfect. And someone adds beans. - LAUGHTER
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Oh!
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Do you think someone eats the mashed potato after the wrestling bout?
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Oh, I would hope not.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39I bet somebody does, though.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42The wrestlers, they cover themselves in butter.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45They say it's to flavour the mashed potato,
0:11:45 > 0:11:46but we know it's just a tactic.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- And pepper.- And pepper, yeah.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52And, slightly bafflingly, sometimes cottage cheese.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53LAUGHTER
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Thank you very much, Richard.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Now, Ayesha, lovely to have you here.- Hi.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Welcome to Pointless.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59What do you do, Ayesha?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02I'm a student at the University of Liverpool at the moment.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- And what are you studying? - Biomedical sciences.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Biomedical... Now, tell us what biomedical science is?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10It's basically figuring out what's wrong with people
0:12:10 > 0:12:12and what we can do about it.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15So we're the pioneers behind new medicines and things like that.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Ooh, that's exciting. What year are you in?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- I'm a second year. - How long is the course?
0:12:19 > 0:12:20- It's three years.- Three years.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23And then you would go where after that?
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Do you go to hospitals?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26I'm probably going to stay and do a Masters,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28and then probably go into research,
0:12:28 > 0:12:30because I want to be a scientist in the lab.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- I see. So, more lab-based than hospital-based?- Yes.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35OK. Now, Ayesha, there you are on 4.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Our high-scorers, at the moment, are behind you, Jon and Larry on 22.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39So, 17 is your target.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42OK. I am going to go for...
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Rhode Island.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Rhode Island, says Ayesha.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Now, that sounds, to me, like a low scorer.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Let's see if it is. There's your red line.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51If you get below that, you're in the next round.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Look at that! Very well done indeed.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Look at that for efficiency as well. 15.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05APPLAUSE You needed 17. You got 15.
0:13:05 > 0:13:0619 is your total.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Yeah, that's the smallest state in America.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11It always has to sit at the front in photographs.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13LAUGHTER
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Thanks very much, Richard.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Hannah, welcome back.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Remind us what you do, Hannah.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20I'm a support worker for a disabled children's team.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22That's right.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25And what do you like getting up to in your spare time, Hannah?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28I dabble in, like, various hobbies!
0:13:28 > 0:13:31I tend to try and, like, take up hobbies,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33realise they're not for me...
0:13:33 > 0:13:36You've taken a run at quite a lot of hobbies in your time then, have you?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Yeah.- Any ones you've really particularly not liked?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41I went through a big phase of balloon modelling.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44We've all done that. We've all gone through that phase(!)
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Yeah, I couldn't get past the dog.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Well, that's...
0:13:48 > 0:13:50A lot of people have trouble getting past that!
0:13:50 > 0:13:53So, balloon modelling. What else have you done?
0:13:53 > 0:13:56I decided I was going to become a top cyclist
0:13:56 > 0:13:58but, unfortunately, I'm not very good at cycling.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- So, I bought a bike...- Oh, no. I can see that would be an impediment.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- No, shelve that. Shelve that.- Gone.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Move on. What was the next?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06I've dabbled in puzzles.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- That's good. - Yeah, I enjoyed that one.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11You could say one of your hobbies is just dabbling.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Dabbling is a great hobby.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- That's my main hobby. - I think that's a top hobby.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17- You could be one of the top dabblists.- Yeah.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- There we are. - That's what I aim to be.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Good stuff. Now, Hannah, you're on 16.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23The high-scorers on 22 are Jon and Larry.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25If you can score five or less -
0:14:25 > 0:14:27a little bit of pressure there,
0:14:27 > 0:14:28but who knows?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30There may be some low-scoring states.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32US states is not my strong point.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37I don't know if I'm thinking of cities or states.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I'm going to say...
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- Arizona.- Arizona?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- I don't know if that's a state. - Well, let's find out.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Arizona. Here is your red line.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47It is a low one.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Let's find out how far down the column you get with Arizona.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Very much a state.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58It's getting closer to that line.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59Still getting closer. look at that.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Oh, 14! APPLAUSE
0:15:02 > 0:15:0514, taking your total neatly up to 30.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06You may still be in the game.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Not a bad answer at all.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11They call it the Grand Canyon State, but nobody knows why.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13One of those great mysteries.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Thank you very much, Richard.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Maja, here also from Borehamwood.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- Yeah, I'm afraid so.- What keeps you busy in Borehamwood, Maja?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Well, I work alongside Annette.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24I'm a revenues officer.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27So I'm really popular and collect council tax.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Excellent! Everyone loves to see Maja come round(!)
0:15:30 > 0:15:31What are your hobbies, Maja?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I like reading.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35We do a lot of girlie outs,
0:15:35 > 0:15:37a bit of travelling,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40weekends away, abroad.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41- Lovely.- Lots of stuff like that.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Good stuff. Now, Maja, you have to score
0:15:44 > 0:15:4618 or less with your answer here.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Have you had lots of answers that other people have said?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Well, actually, no.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53So, I think we have had South Dakota,
0:15:53 > 0:15:55so I will try North Dakota...
0:15:55 > 0:15:56It stands to reason, doesn't it?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58..and keep my fingers crossed.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Keep them crossed. There's your red line.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03If you can get below that red line with North Dakota,
0:16:03 > 0:16:04you are through to Round Two.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Good luck.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15You've done it! Very well done indeed.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Look at that! 5 for North Dakota. APPLAUSE
0:16:17 > 0:16:20The second lowest score of the round...
0:16:20 > 0:16:22taking your total to 16.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Yeah, scores less than South Dakota.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26So people were, sort of, saying South Dakota
0:16:26 > 0:16:27and forgetting North Dakota.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Now, 4 is the best answer you could possibly have given.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31So, Nebraska was a terrific answer.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33There's one other answer that would have scored you 4,
0:16:33 > 0:16:34and that is Maryland.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37You'd have got 5 for Illinois, West Virginia, Minnesota.
0:16:37 > 0:16:396 for Connecticut, 7 for Vermont,
0:16:39 > 0:16:428 for Kentucky, Colorado, Delaware,
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Tennessee, Kansas and Louisiana.
0:16:44 > 0:16:4716 for South Carolina and New Jersey.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Alaska scored 21, Florida 26,
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Washington 27, California 35.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Let's take a look at the top three scorers.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58On 36 points, we have Pennsylvania.
0:16:58 > 0:17:0048, Texas.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03And right at the top, with 53, New York.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Thanks very much, Richard.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06So, at the end of our first round,
0:17:06 > 0:17:09the pair we're sending away, with their not-that-high score of 30,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I'm afraid it's our head-to-headers from last time, Hannah and Taz.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13I'm so sorry. Far too soon.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14This wasn't in the script at all.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I thought you were going all the way today.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18But this is where we say goodbye.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Thank you so much for coming to play, Hannah and Taz.- Thank you.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23APPLAUSE
0:17:23 > 0:17:24But for the remaining three pairs,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33And so, we're down to three pairs.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36At the end of this round, we will be down to two pairs.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Congratulations, Nadeem and Maja,
0:17:38 > 0:17:40for our lovely low scores in that round.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41But congratulations, everyone.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Not an incorrect answer in the whole round,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46which is nothing less than we expect and hope for on Pointless,
0:17:46 > 0:17:48but you never know. Anyway, the best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Our category for Round Two today...
0:17:53 > 0:17:55European Transport.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56Can you all decide, in your pairs,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:17:58 > 0:18:02And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08OK, and the question is all about...
0:18:11 > 0:18:13What about that? Types of transport in French, Richard.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16On each board, Xander is going to expertly pronounce
0:18:16 > 0:18:18a series of French names for transport.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20We just need the English equivalent, please, for each of those.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22There's going to be 12 in all to have a go at, at home.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Very best of luck. Now, let's all enjoy the silky tones...
0:18:25 > 0:18:27- IN FRENCH ACCENT: - ..of Monsieur Alexander Armstrong.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29LAUGHTER
0:18:29 > 0:18:33OK. So, we want to know what these types of transport are in English.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Here they are in French.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36We have...
0:18:46 > 0:18:47I'll read those one last time.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58But what does it all mean, Maja?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00I don't know.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Well, I know a couple.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I think they might be high-scorers.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07So I think I'm going to have a quick punt at...
0:19:07 > 0:19:11une montgolfiere, as a golf buggy.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12- Surely!- Maybe.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Surely une montgolfiere, a golf buggy.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21Oh!
0:19:21 > 0:19:22AUDIENCE GROANS
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Oh, dear.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Oh, dear. Oh, dear indeed.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28That is not a golf buggy, I'm afraid.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30It scores you 100 points. Sorry, Maja.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Do you know what? 13 out of our 100 said exactly the same thing.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35- Too obvious. - Made exactly the same... Yeah.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37And yet, not right.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Too obvious and not right is a bad combination, isn't it?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Nadeem. What are you going to go for on this board?
0:19:43 > 0:19:48I haven't studied French since I was maybe 12 years old, maybe 13.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Yeah, that's about four years ago!
0:19:50 > 0:19:51LAUGHTER
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I'm a little older than I look.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56A little older.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Ooh.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03I could take a risk, but I think I'm going to go with un velo -
0:20:03 > 0:20:05with my terrible French accent, sorry -
0:20:05 > 0:20:07and go with bicycle.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08A bicycle, says Nadeem.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09A bike for un velo.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Let's see if that's right.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Let's see how many of our 100 people said bicycle.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16It's right.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21APPLAUSE
0:20:21 > 0:20:2341.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Not bad.- Yeah, well played.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Hence velodrome.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28And also, if you win the Tour de France,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30you wear the "velo" jersey as well.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31It all comes from...
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- It comes from the same place. - From the same root.- Yeah.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Thank you very much, Richard.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Jon, you're the last person to have this board of fun.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Do you want to talk us through it and fill in all the blanks?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41No. I couldn't...
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Un camion... Camel?
0:20:45 > 0:20:46LAUGHTER
0:20:46 > 0:20:48It's a mode of transport!
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Exactly.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52The only one I knew was un velo.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54But...
0:20:54 > 0:20:57I'm just gone to take a guess and say un avion, plane sounds...
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- Un avion, plane.- Yeah.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01OK, let's see if that's right.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Let's see how many of a 100 people said plane, for avion.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07It's right.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Well, 100 was our highest score, which you've passed...
0:21:09 > 0:21:11You come down to 67. APPLAUSE
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Yeah, the biggest answer on the board there.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17It must've been tucked away somewhere in the back of your brain.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- Un camion?- Is a lorry. - It is a lorry.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22That would have scored you 17 points.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Now, une montgolfiere is named after the brothers who invented it.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29They were the Montgolfier brothers, who invented the hot-air balloon.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- Ahh!- Yeah, 21 points for that.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33- Aeroglisseur...- Aeroglisseur...
0:21:33 > 0:21:35must be a glider.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- It's not, it's a hovercraft. - It's a hovercraft.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- What about that? - Two points for that.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Do you know this one, une planche a roulettes?
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I didn't know this one.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44It's a plank with wheels.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- I'm guessing it's a skateboard. - It is a skateboard, yep.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48It is a skateboard, and that would have scored 11.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50So, hovercraft is the best answer.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51OK, thank you very much indeed.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54OK, let's take a look at the scores as we're halfway through the round.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Yes, quite high scores in this round.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Not surprising, that was not an easy board.
0:21:58 > 0:22:0141, Nadeem, turns out to have been the best score of that pass,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04so well done. Nadeem and Ayesha looking very strong at this point.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07As, I would say, are Jon and Larry on 67.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09And then Maja and Annette on 100.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Annette, how good's your French?
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Very poor.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Good luck. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23OK, let's put six more French terms up on the board,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25and here they come. We have...
0:22:35 > 0:22:36I'll read those again.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45There we are.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Larry, remember, we're looking for the English names
0:22:47 > 0:22:49for these French modes of transport
0:22:49 > 0:22:50and, as ever, you're going to try and find
0:22:50 > 0:22:52the most obscure one you can on that board.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Ideally, you would score 32 or less.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Well, my French is hopeless, so it's going to be a guess.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04I'm going to go for un moto and say car.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Car, surely.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Car. Here is your red line.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10If you can get below this red line with car,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12you are into the head-to-head.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Let's see how close to the red line you can get with car.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Bad luck. An incorrect answer,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25which means you score 100 points,
0:23:25 > 0:23:26taking your total to 167.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27Sorry, Larry.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the pass.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Thanks very much indeed. Now, Ayesha, good news.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36You're through to the next round, even if you score 100 points.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37OK.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40I'm going to take a risk, because I'm already through.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44I'm going to go with un sous-marin with submarine.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Submarine, surely. Submarine.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48No red line for you, you're already through.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Let's see how far down the column you get with submarine.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54It's right.
0:23:58 > 0:24:0034. Really not bad at all. APPLAUSE
0:24:00 > 0:24:0475 is your total.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06The French had a sort of precursor to the submarine
0:24:06 > 0:24:08as early as the 17th century.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10They had a semi-submerged warship...
0:24:10 > 0:24:12in the 17th century.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Wow!
0:24:13 > 0:24:14So down it went, with a couple of tubes
0:24:14 > 0:24:18- and people pumping air, presumably? - Yeah, maybe.- Maybe.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- Yeah, maybe.- Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Thank you.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Now, Annette, you have to score 66 or less.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Do you fancy taking an amble through these French modes of transport?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29No!
0:24:29 > 0:24:33I'm going to have a guess, and it is a guess - un moto as a motorcycle.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Motorcycle.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Oh. Moto, motorcycle.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Let's see if that's right. There's your red line.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Get below that with motorcycle and you are through to the head-to-head.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49It is right.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Through you go to the head-to-head,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Annette, very well done indeed.
0:24:52 > 0:24:5526. APPLAUSE
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Good score.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59126 is your total.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04Well played, Annette, and car, of course, is voiture rather than moto.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Now, talking of voitures, une voiture de pompiers...
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- Fire engine.- It's a fire engine, pompier being a fire officer.
0:25:10 > 0:25:1118 points for that.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- Un bateau?- A boat.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15A boat, correct. 50 points for that.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Can you guess deltaplane?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19A deltaplane?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21I mean, is it a flying boat?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- I've no idea. - No, think about the delta shape.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25It's a hang glider.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- Of course it is. - Four points for that.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29And une fusee, do you know that one?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- That is a rocket.- It is a rocket.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33That is a really, really show-offy form of transport...
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Yeah.- ..and that would have scored you eight points.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39So, at the end of our second round,
0:25:39 > 0:25:41the pair we send home, with their highest score of 167,
0:25:41 > 0:25:44it's Larry and Jon, our only other returning pair.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45What about that? I'm so sorry.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Again, I thought you were going to go further this time,
0:25:48 > 0:25:49but I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51but thanks so much for playing, Larry and Jon.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54APPLAUSE
0:25:54 > 0:25:57But for Nadeem and Ayesha, and Maja and Annette,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01APPLAUSE
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Congratulations, Nadeem and Ayesha, Maja and Annette,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09you are now one step closer to the final
0:26:09 > 0:26:11and the chance to play for that jackpot,
0:26:11 > 0:26:14which currently stands at £1,000.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15Well, here we are in the head-to-head,
0:26:15 > 0:26:17where you can start playing as a team -
0:26:17 > 0:26:19which means you can chat before you give your answers,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21which I think takes the pressure off a little bit.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Well done, you've seen off our two returning players and, yes,
0:26:27 > 0:26:30from hereon in, we are in uncharted territory.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31So, best of luck to both pairs.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36APPLAUSE
0:26:38 > 0:26:42Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Animals found on the Galapagos Islands.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Yeah, we're going to show you five pictures now
0:26:49 > 0:26:51of animals you might find in the Galapagos Islands.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54We're going to give you alternate letters of their names as well.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55Can you tell us what they are, please?
0:26:55 > 0:27:00OK. Let's reveal our five animals, and here they are.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01We've got...
0:27:33 > 0:27:37There we are, five animals found on the Galapagos Islands.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Now, Nadeem and Ayesha, you will go first as our low scorers.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49We're going to go with E,
0:27:49 > 0:27:51and say blue-footed booby.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Blue-footed booby, say Nadeem and Ayesha for E.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Now then, Maja and Annette...
0:27:57 > 0:27:59do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?
0:27:59 > 0:28:02It's a tricky one.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04There's only two that we knew, I think, anyway.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06We've seen giant tortoise.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Or I think we ought to go for maybe A.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09Yeah, yeah.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11A, marine iguana.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14OK, marine iguana, you're going to say for A.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18So we have blue-footed booby and we have marine iguana.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21OK, now then, Nadeem and Ayesha said blue-footed booby for E.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Let's see how many people said that.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27It's right.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34There we are. APPLAUSE
0:28:36 > 0:28:3817 for blue-footed booby.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40A popular answer with anyone who's played bird bingo,
0:28:40 > 0:28:42I should think, that one.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Now, Maja and Annette have, meanwhile,
0:28:45 > 0:28:47gone for the marine iguana for A.
0:28:47 > 0:28:48Let's see if that's right.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Let's see how many of our 100 said it.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58It's going to be close.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59- AUDIENCE:- Oh!
0:28:59 > 0:29:0118! Couldn't be closer! APPLAUSE
0:29:01 > 0:29:02Wow!
0:29:04 > 0:29:06I said it was going to be an exciting head-to-head.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Well done, Nadeem and Ayesha,
0:29:08 > 0:29:10after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:29:10 > 0:29:11How about that?
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Now, B...
0:29:13 > 0:29:15We'll just play a game of fill in the gaps, really.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17The last word is "locust".
0:29:17 > 0:29:18I'm guessing "large" is the first.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20"Large" is the first word, yeah.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Painted?
0:29:22 > 0:29:23It is the large painted locust, yeah.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24It does look painted.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26That would have scored eight points.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28You know that can jump
0:29:28 > 0:29:30up to three metres in the air?
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- Oh, I wouldn't like that.- No.
0:29:33 > 0:29:34I mean, only...
0:29:34 > 0:29:38I mean, from the nose and above, in your case, would be safe -
0:29:38 > 0:29:40but...yeah.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41Oh, could you imagine?
0:29:41 > 0:29:43They're quite expensive.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45It's cheaper if you get a large unpainted locust,
0:29:45 > 0:29:47it's slightly cheaper, and you paint it yourself,
0:29:47 > 0:29:48but they're still expensive.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Now, C is, of course...
0:29:50 > 0:29:52- The giant tortoise. - ..the giant tortoise.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Although, you know what? It only scores 49,
0:29:54 > 0:29:56but I think maybe people said "great",
0:29:56 > 0:29:58even though it doesn't quite fit or something like that.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00You can't tell how giant that is, though.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03I'd like to see a giant tortoise next to the large painted locust.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- Yes.- Just to see...- To see how giant it is.- ..who's kidding who.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08And D...
0:30:08 > 0:30:09- Silly.- It's not silly, actually.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10Oh, no.
0:30:10 > 0:30:11It's something...
0:30:11 > 0:30:13- Salty?- Salty.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Long...
0:30:15 > 0:30:16Long doesn't fit.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Salty lognovet, you've got it. It's salty lognovet(!)
0:30:19 > 0:30:22You know what it is? It's Sally Lightfoot.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Sally Lightfoot.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25I was at school with her!
0:30:25 > 0:30:27- LAUGHTER - I know.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28God, she's changed.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30She really has changed.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32She got turned into a crab in a university prank...
0:30:32 > 0:30:33- That fits.- ..and, yeah, never came back -
0:30:33 > 0:30:36but there she is, she's doing all right for herself.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37That's from her Instagram page.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40There, she's saying, "Having rock pool LOLs."
0:30:40 > 0:30:42- Sally. - LAUGHTER
0:30:42 > 0:30:44And, if you did say Sally Lightfoot,
0:30:44 > 0:30:45congratulations, pointless answer.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46Thanks very much indeed.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49OK, so here comes your second question.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Now, Maja and Annette, you get to answer this one first,
0:30:51 > 0:30:54but you have to win it to stay in the game, so the very best of luck.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Our second question is all about...
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Countries beginning with A, B or C, Richard.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05Simply five clues to countries whose names begin with A, B or C.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Easy as that. Here are the five clues.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32I'll read all of those again.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Over to you, Maja and Annette.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56- Tricky. Shall we go with that? - Yeah.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57Yeah.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00I think the only one we're really sure of is the Tasmanian devil,
0:32:00 > 0:32:02and we would say Australia.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Australia, say Maja and Annette. Australia.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Now then, Nadeem and Ayesha,
0:32:07 > 0:32:09do you feel up to talking us through that board?
0:32:09 > 0:32:14We think the first one might be Bangladesh, but we're not 100%.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17The second one, you thought maybe Congo.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19- Possibly.- Halloumi cheese...
0:32:19 > 0:32:20We think Cyprus.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23And winning the World Cup...
0:32:24 > 0:32:26..we think possibly Brazil, '78.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29But we're going to go for Cyprus for halloumi cheese.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Cyprus for halloumi cheese.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33So we have Australia and we have Cyprus.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Now then, Maja and Annette said Australia,
0:32:35 > 0:32:36for the Tasmanian devil.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Let's see if that's right.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44It's right.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Oh!
0:32:46 > 0:32:4769.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49APPLAUSE
0:32:49 > 0:32:50A high one.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54Now then, Nadeem and Ayesha have gone for Cyprus
0:32:54 > 0:32:56as the country from which halloumi cheese originates.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:33:03 > 0:33:04Very well done.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07You have won this one.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09APPLAUSE 18 to 69
0:33:09 > 0:33:11and after two questions, Nadeem and Ayesha,
0:33:11 > 0:33:14you are straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Yeah, very well played as well.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17I bet lots of people think of it as Greece,
0:33:17 > 0:33:19or it must be somewhere near Greece.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21I was thinking maybe Albania, but Cyprus is a great answer.
0:33:21 > 0:33:22Well played.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24You were right about the top one as well.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Would have scored you one more point,
0:33:26 > 0:33:27would have scored 19 for Bangladesh.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Do you know the second one, the Alexander McCall Smith one?
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Funnily enough, he was born in what was Southern Rhodesia,
0:33:33 > 0:33:35which is now Zimbabwe,
0:33:35 > 0:33:36studied law in Edinburgh
0:33:36 > 0:33:39and then went back to help found the law school
0:33:39 > 0:33:41at the University of Botswana.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43- Oh.- It's in Botswana.- Yes.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Would have scored 16.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46And it wasn't Brazil,
0:33:46 > 0:33:49it was Argentina who won for the first time in 1978,
0:33:49 > 0:33:50and that would have scored 32.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53So, the best answer on the board there, 16 points, Botswana.
0:33:53 > 0:33:54Thanks very much indeed.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round
0:33:57 > 0:33:58I'm afraid, is Maja and Annette.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Oh, that was close.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03I mean, your iguana answer in the first question...
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Oh, so close!
0:34:05 > 0:34:07But it's great news. It means we get to see you again next time,
0:34:07 > 0:34:09cos otherwise you'd have gone on to the final,
0:34:09 > 0:34:11you'd have disappeared and we'd never have seen you again,
0:34:11 > 0:34:14but, as it happens, you'll get two bites at the Pointless cherry
0:34:14 > 0:34:16and we look forward to seeing you then.
0:34:16 > 0:34:17Meantime, thanks very much, Maja and Annette.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19- Tremendous.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:34:19 > 0:34:21- Good luck.- Yeah, good luck.
0:34:21 > 0:34:26But, for Nadeem and Ayesha, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29APPLAUSE
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Well, congratulations, Nadeem and Ayesha.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33You have seen off all the competition
0:34:33 > 0:34:35and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,000.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Well, we have taken you through, I think, a pretty,
0:34:51 > 0:34:54I mean, a broad range of questions, I'll say.
0:34:54 > 0:34:55We had American states,
0:34:55 > 0:34:57we had French modes of transport in English,
0:34:57 > 0:34:59then we had animals from the Galapagos Islands
0:34:59 > 0:35:02and we had countries beginning with A, B or C.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05I mean, "Is there anything we've missed out?" is what I'm wondering.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:35:08 > 0:35:10We're both quite good with our science, cos that's...
0:35:10 > 0:35:12We're both in that sort of field.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14- Science, geography...- Yeah.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17..maybe football. Some sort of recent history, that kind of thing.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19OK, well, as always, you get to choose your category
0:35:19 > 0:35:20from the four that we put up on the board.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22We just have to hope there's something up there
0:35:22 > 0:35:24that you quite like the look of.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Today's selection looks like this.
0:35:26 > 0:35:27We've got...
0:35:36 > 0:35:38It's literally up to you, because I'd be terrible at all of them.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42Yeah, we would not be great at most of these.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44You're quite good with your films.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Action Actors might be...
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- Yeah.- Might be the one, yeah.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52I can't even think what the last one will involve.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- I think...- Let's go with Action Actors.- Action Actors.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56OK, Action Actors it is.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57Very best of luck.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59We're looking for any feature film
0:35:59 > 0:36:02for which any of the following three have received a credit, please.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03We're looking for...
0:36:10 > 0:36:12So, according to IMDB,
0:36:12 > 0:36:14up to the end of February 2016,
0:36:14 > 0:36:16we're looking to any films starring Steven Seagal,
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Jason Statham or Jean-Claude Van Damme.
0:36:19 > 0:36:20Very best of luck.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21Thanks very much, Richard.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:36:24 > 0:36:26and all you need, to win the jackpot,
0:36:26 > 0:36:29is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- Yes.- Yeah.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:32 > 0:36:33There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- OK.- OK.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Jason Statham, the only thing I know is Expendables.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39Expendables 2.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Fast and Furious 7, he was in...
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- Right.- It was quite recent.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- Steven Seagal...- Was Jean-Claude Van Damme in Expendables as well?
0:36:47 > 0:36:49I would imagine so.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Any Steven Seagal films? I'm really bad at this.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53- I don't know.- Do you know any?
0:36:53 > 0:36:55I don't even know who Steven Seagal is.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58Oh. Everyone's going to be mad at us for that.
0:36:58 > 0:36:59Jason Statham, do you know any...?
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Jason Statham, I mean, there's a few...
0:37:01 > 0:37:04He's played a lot of East End gangsters, hasn't he? So...
0:37:04 > 0:37:05He's the hard man, isn't he?
0:37:05 > 0:37:07I don't know if he is in, like,
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and Snatch - those kind of films.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Snatch.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14But I don't think they'll be pointless.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Tough. Let me think about Jason Statham.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- OK.- Jason Statham...
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Trying to picture him in a number of films.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25- Dad would know this.- Ten seconds.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29- Let's go with Fast and Furious- 7. Yeah.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- Expendables- 2? Expendables 2, for who? Jason Statham?
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- Jason Statham.- Was that him? - I'm pretty sure.
0:37:34 > 0:37:35OK, that's your time up.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Let's have your three answers.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39OK, so, for Jason Statham films,
0:37:39 > 0:37:42we're going to go with Fast and Furious 7.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Fast and Furious 7.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47We're going to go with, for Jason Statham as well,
0:37:47 > 0:37:48Expendables 2.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Expendables 2.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52And, for Jason Statham again, we'll go with...
0:37:54 > 0:37:55..Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Now, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:00 > 0:38:01Lock, Stock.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Yeah.- Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
0:38:03 > 0:38:04OK, Lock, Stock we'll put last.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- Fast and Furious 7? - Fast and Furious 7.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Fast and Furious 7, we put first.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order then,
0:38:13 > 0:38:14and here they are.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16We have got...
0:38:22 > 0:38:23Well, very, very best of luck.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Three answers on the board there.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Now, let's just imagine one of those ends up being pointless
0:38:28 > 0:38:29and wins you that jackpot.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31What would you do with your £1,000?
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Nadeem, you first.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Oh, I'd probably put it towards travelling.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37I've seen a lot of Western Europe
0:38:37 > 0:38:40but I haven't seen much of Eastern Europe at this point,
0:38:40 > 0:38:41so I'd probably, yeah,
0:38:41 > 0:38:45organise a trip, with maybe a few friends, around that area.
0:38:45 > 0:38:46Very nice. Ayesha, how about you?
0:38:46 > 0:38:48I really would like to go to some festivals,
0:38:48 > 0:38:50so I'd probably put it towards that.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Excellent. Well, best of luck.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Let's hope one of these answers wins you that jackpot.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Your first answer was Fast and Furious 7.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59In this case, we were looking for Jason Statham films.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02This has to be pointless for you to win, but it could easily be.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Let's find out. Fast and Furious 7,
0:39:04 > 0:39:06is it pointless, for £1,000?
0:39:09 > 0:39:10Well, it's right.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Down it goes. Fast and Furious 7, taking us through the 40s.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18If this goes all the way down to zero, it will win you £1,000.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20We are into single figures.
0:39:20 > 0:39:21Down it goes, still going down.
0:39:21 > 0:39:224!
0:39:22 > 0:39:27That's exciting. APPLAUSE
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Four people away from £1,000 there.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Sadly not 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 Expendables 2.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Again, we were looking for Jason Statham films.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43If this is pointless, it will win you £1,000.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46How many people named The Expendables 2
0:39:46 > 0:39:47as a Jason Statham film?
0:39:51 > 0:39:52It's also correct.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Your first answer, Fast and Furious 7, took us all the way down to 4.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00The Expendables 2 takes us down through the teens,
0:40:00 > 0:40:01into single figures.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Down it goes. Still going down. Passes four...
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Oh, stops at 2!
0:40:05 > 0:40:10APPLAUSE
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Tell you what, this is all moving in the right direction, isn't it?
0:40:13 > 0:40:16- Maybe.- Down from 4, down to 2.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Only one more shot at today's jackpot.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Well, now, if you placed these in the correct order,
0:40:20 > 0:40:23we should see this going down, correspondingly,
0:40:23 > 0:40:25maybe down to 1 or maybe down to pointless.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Your last answer was Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Once again, we were looking for Jason Statham films.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35If this does go down to zero, you will leave here with £1,000.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38How many of our 100 people named Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels?
0:40:41 > 0:40:43It's right.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45So, the first answer, Fast and Furious 7, took us down to 4.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48The second, The Expendables 2, took us down to 2.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Your third and final, and most confident answer -
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels - takes us down...
0:40:53 > 0:40:55- AUDIENCE:- Oh!
0:40:55 > 0:40:566.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59APPLAUSE
0:40:59 > 0:41:01- We did all right.- Yeah.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04I'll tell you what, three brilliant scores there.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06I mean, in normal Pointless gameplay, that...
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- You'd take any of those scores, wouldn't you?- Definitely.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11But sadly, we didn't get that pointless answer we needed.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000,
0:41:14 > 0:41:15that rolls over onto the next show,
0:41:15 > 0:41:17but it's been brilliant having you here.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19I mean, fantastic play all the way through.
0:41:19 > 0:41:212-0 in the head-to-head.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22I mean, never any argument with that.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25And you get a Pointless trophy each to take home,
0:41:25 > 0:41:26in recognition of that achievement.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28So, very well done, Nadeem and Ayesha.
0:41:28 > 0:41:34APPLAUSE
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Yeah, very solid effort there.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38I'm going to take you through the pointless answers
0:41:38 > 0:41:41in the different categories. There's some great-named films here,
0:41:41 > 0:41:43as you'd imagine. Some great-named films.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45We'll start with Steven Seagal.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Lots of people at home might have got Executive Decision.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50That was a pointless answer.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Now some of his other films.
0:41:54 > 0:41:55If you didn't know who this guy was,
0:41:55 > 0:41:57you'd understand the sort of actor he was.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Born To Raise Hell,
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Force Of Execution,
0:42:01 > 0:42:02Gutshot...
0:42:02 > 0:42:03LAUGHTER
0:42:03 > 0:42:05..Half Past Dead,
0:42:05 > 0:42:06Mercenary Absolution
0:42:06 > 0:42:08and, sums it all up,
0:42:08 > 0:42:09The Perfect Weapon.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Jason Statham now.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14He had a couple of big films here.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Collateral. The Guy Ritchie movie, Revolver.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18He's in The Italian Job as well, was a pointless answer.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21The One, 13, Blitz, Cellular, Death Race.
0:42:21 > 0:42:22All of those pointless answers.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Jean-Claude Van Damme now,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27who's also got some brilliantly-named films.
0:42:33 > 0:42:34You also could have had
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Assassination Games,
0:42:36 > 0:42:37Death Warrant,
0:42:37 > 0:42:38In Hell,
0:42:38 > 0:42:40No Retreat, No Surrender,
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Until Death,
0:42:42 > 0:42:43and Kung Fu Panda 3.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46LAUGHTER
0:42:46 > 0:42:47Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51Well, Nadeem and Ayesha, very sadly, didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:51 > 0:42:53which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:42:53 > 0:42:55when we will be playing for £2,000.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...
0:43:03 > 0:43:05- Goodbye.- ..and it's goodbye from me.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Goodbye.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10APPLAUSE
