0:00:32 > 0:00:35- And couple number one. - Hi, I'm Arry.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48And finally, couple number four.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hello, my name's Anne. This is my son Paul
0:00:50 > 0:00:52and we are from Calderdale in West Yorkshire.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54And these are today's contestants.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Thanks very much, all of you. A very warm welcome to the show.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show
0:01:01 > 0:01:02as it goes along.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07The proof is out there - here comes the Specs Files!
0:01:07 > 0:01:10It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Hiya. Hey, everybody.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Afternoon.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- Good afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Now, two returning pairs.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Shani and Carl, knocked out in the head-to-head last time.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23And back on podium one -
0:01:23 > 0:01:25on podium one last time as well - Arry and Ash,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28the only contestants in history that if you swapped them round
0:01:28 > 0:01:30and put a C in front of both of their names
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- it would be advertising! - CHUCKLES
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- That's wholesale.- Just give you a... I'll just give you a moment there.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37LAUGHTER
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- So it should be an absolute cracker today.- It should be.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- It should be!- It was a lovely one last time, wasn't it?
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Wasn't it? I've already forgotten what happened to the jackpot.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Oh, you're about to find out. - Am I?- Yeah, it's...
0:01:47 > 0:01:49I'll tell you what, it's good news for people who like
0:01:49 > 0:01:52previous contestants to have won the jackpot
0:01:52 > 0:01:54and bad news for people who don't. I won't say any more than that.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56OK. LAUGHTER
0:01:56 > 0:01:57What can that mean?
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Kay and Gareth won the jackpot - got it - last time,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06There it is. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Just to be absolutely plain,
0:02:14 > 0:02:16the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:16 > 0:02:19will be eliminated, so keep your scores low.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21No conferring in the first two rounds.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category this afternoon
0:02:24 > 0:02:27is...
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Politicians. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:02:29 > 0:02:32who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38OK, and our question concerns...
0:02:42 > 0:02:43Prime Minister's Questions, Richard
0:02:43 > 0:02:46We'll show you 16 pictures now of people who've taken part
0:02:46 > 0:02:47in Prime Minister's Questions,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49either as a Prime Minister or a Leader of the Opposition,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51or someone standing in and acting for them.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55So, 16 politicians. Can you name the most obscure of these, please?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59OK, so we're going to put a picture of 16 politicians up on the board.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Now, that's not going to change halfway through the round.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04That will remain up for the entire round, so, yes, no change.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Good luck with whoever's going to go second on podium one there.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Erm, and, yes, you just have to name the most obscure politician
0:03:11 > 0:03:13on that picture. Let's reveal the picture. Here it comes.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17There we go.
0:03:17 > 0:03:1916 politicians.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Now, Ash, a warm welcome back to Pointless.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Thank you.- Remind us what you do, Ash.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I'm a delivery supervisor at a wholesaler.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29And no-one's ever made the gag about you and Arry before?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- Not before the last show, no. - Not before the last show?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- I can't believe that. - I know. It's unbelievable, really.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36I can't believe it. When you're not supervising deliveries
0:03:36 > 0:03:38at the wholesale warehouse, what do you get up to, Ash?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I'm basically a sport enthusiast.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I've got a bad habit of getting up in the middle of the night
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- to watch NBA basketball. - That is a bad habit.- Yeah.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46You're not married, are you?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- No, not fit for work, no. Not married, no.- That's fine,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- absolutely fine. So at work... - I start at six in the morning,
0:03:51 > 0:03:53so getting up's a bit of an arduous task, to be honest.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- But you're the guy with all the news.- Yeah.- You can tell everyone
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- what's been going on while they were sleeping.- Yeah.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Now, Ash... Politicians - always a popular round on Pointless.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I'm ashamed to say I've revised this topic. However,
0:04:06 > 0:04:08the board's not been kind to me, so...
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- It's a mean board.- Yeah.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Erm, Jeremy Corbyn, I'm going to say.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Jeremy Corbyn, says Ash.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Jeremy Corbyn.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23It's right.
0:04:27 > 0:04:2835.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29APPLAUSE
0:04:31 > 0:04:3335 for Jeremy Corbyn.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Good start, Ash.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36There he is on the far right, which seems a bit harsh.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38LAUGHTER
0:04:38 > 0:04:41There we go. Thanks very much indeed.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Ian, a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Thank you.- Good to have you. From Oxfordshire?- That's right, yes.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46And what you do in Oxfordshire, Ian?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Well, I'm a software engineer by trade, but...
0:04:49 > 0:04:51..I like scuba diving.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I'm a season-ticket holder at Reading Football Club.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58My main interest is music, listening and going to gigs and so on.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Very good. Where do you do your scuba diving?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Abroad these days.- Abroad, yes. - I learnt in this country but...
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- Yes.- ..it's a bit too cold and dark for me.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- It's a bit murky and cold, isn't it, yeah?- Yes, yeah.- But abroad...
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- Where is the most exotic place you've...dove?- Probably Indonesia.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Wow. Nice clear waters there.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Lovely and clear. Lovely and warm.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Some really, really interesting, colourful creatures.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20OK. Very good. Now, Ian... Politicians.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23What would you like to go for?
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Whom would you like to go for?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I think I know them all, though I'm not sure about one of them,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29so I think I'll avoid her.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- I'll go for Margaret Beckett. - Margaret Beckett, says Ian.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Let's see how many of our 100 people said Margaret Beckett.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Down it goes to 23. Not bad at all.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Nice new low score there.
0:05:48 > 0:05:4923 for Margaret Beckett.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Yeah, she was the acting leader of the Labour Party, Margaret Beckett.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Also the first-ever female Foreign Secretary.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Thank you very much. Now, Carl, welcome back.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- Hi.- Welcome. Remind us of what you do, Carl, up in Barnsley.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- I work at a glass factory. - That's right, a glass factory.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06And what's your particular role in the glass factory?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I'm still training at the minute, but it's, like,
0:06:08 > 0:06:09just getting used to different ways
0:06:09 > 0:06:11of making glass bottles, glass containers...
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Are there are some major brands that you know are made in your...?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Oh, yeah, there's some biggies. - Oh, that's exciting.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- You're holding it, but you know it's about to go off and...- Yeah.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20- ..hit the big time...- Yeah.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22..containing maple syrup or something like that.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I don't know. Other syrups are available.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Carl, what are your hobbies?
0:06:25 > 0:06:29I enjoy going to the gym, keeping fit.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- I try to go five, six times a week. - Do you know? I know that,
0:06:31 > 0:06:35because when I met Carl earlier and I slapped him on the shoulder...
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Ow.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- Really?- Rigid.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39Yeah. Yeah, he said it.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40He's got impressive delts.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Yeah, and on the shoulder as well! Really...
0:06:44 > 0:06:45LAUGHTER
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Carl... Politicians.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Dream come true, isn't it? - Worst subject ever.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I know some of the obvious ones.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53I'll go for John Prescott.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55John Prescott, says Carl.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Let's see how many of our 100 people went for John Prescott.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Well, it's right. 35 is our high score.
0:07:03 > 0:07:0423 is our low...
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Aha, 53.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08APPLAUSE
0:07:08 > 0:07:1153 for John Prescott.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13That's interesting for Jeremy Corbyn, isn't it?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Well, Jeremy Corbyn and Margaret Beckett added together...
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Yeah.- .. are roughly what John Prescott is.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Now, Anne, welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- What do you do, Anne? - Erm, whatever I want now.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- I'm retired.- See, that's the lovely answer, isn't it?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30And what do you want?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Well, I'm trying desperately to write my memoirs,
0:07:33 > 0:07:38which were slightly Fifty Shades but a little bit more colourful.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- Thanks, Mum(!) - LAUGHTER
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Wow. I'm trying to think how many shades of...
0:07:44 > 0:07:46How many different colours we've got there.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48That's, erm, an admission.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Erm... LAUGHTER
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Please don't ask for details.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Erm, how extraordinary. How far have you got with the memoirs?
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Erm, well, I've...completed a couple of chapters.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Yes.- Shall we just say, I've got the beginning and I've got the end
0:08:04 > 0:08:06and I'm working on the in-between bit now?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08How many chapters are you hoping for the whole thing to be?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- It depends how long I live, really. - OK. Well...
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Just write book one to start with and then, you know,
0:08:14 > 0:08:16you can sequelise it.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I... I'm just going to ask Paul, is it very raunchy?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21I... I couldn't... I wouldn't know.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24OK. I-I'd probably keep it that way, I think, probably.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27LAUGHTER Now, Anne... Politicians...
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- There you are.- Yes, it's not bad.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Erm...
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I'm going to say Hilary Benn.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Hilary Benn, says Anne.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Hilary Benn. Let's see how far down the column we get with Hilary Benn.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42There we are. Well, it's right.
0:08:42 > 0:08:4523 is our low score at this point for Margaret Beckett.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Hilary Benn passes that down to 19. Very well done, Anne.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Well done.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Nicely done.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Good answer, Anne. He's stood in for Jeremy Corbyn on occasion.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Tony Benn's son.- There we are. Thank you, Richard.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:02 > 0:09:0419, the best score of the pass, Anne. Very well done.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Anne and Paul looking strong on the back of that.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Then up to 23, not too far, where we find Ian and Linda.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Up to 35, Ash and Arry.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13And then Carl and Shani, there you are at 53.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Shani, we can't say goodbye.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17You were head-to-headers last time, for goodness' sake.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19We cannot say goodbye at the end of the first round.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21We need a low score from you. Good luck with that.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22We're going to come back down the line now.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30So, Paul, welcome to Pointless.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- Thank you. - Great to have you here, Paul.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- What do you do? - I'm a freelance project manager
0:09:34 > 0:09:37in the banking and finance industry.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I see. And what sort of projects are they that you manage?
0:09:40 > 0:09:44I tend to specialise in, sort of, risk projects or HR projects,
0:09:44 > 0:09:45- things like that.- I see, I see.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48What are your interests outside the world of project management?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Recently discovered a love for ballet and opera,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53so my wife has started... My wife and I have started going to that.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- How did you discover something like that?- It was one of those things
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- that we'd always wanted to do and never got round to it.- Yeah.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- It was our 20th wedding anniversary...- How nice.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04..a couple of years ago and I booked a trip down to the Royal Opera House
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- in Covent Garden...- Wonderful. - ..to see a ballet.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07And really enjoyed it.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- Beautiful.- And...- Is it the music you think you like,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13or is it the combination of the, sort of, the grace...?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Yeah, just a combination of everything, really.- Good for you.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- Both the ballet and the opera, so... - Yeah, wonderful thing to enjoy.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Now, there you are. You're on 19.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23If you can happen to score 33 or less,
0:10:23 > 0:10:25you're through to the next round,
0:10:25 > 0:10:27no questions asked, Paul.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29It's probably not going to happen.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31I was a bit concerned when Politicians came up,
0:10:31 > 0:10:35but I recognise a few faces, so I'm going to go for Iain Duncan Smith.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Iain Duncan Smith, says Paul.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Here is your red line.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40If you get below that red line with IDS,
0:10:40 > 0:10:42you are through to the next round.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said Iain Duncan Smith.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Oh, you needed 33, you got 33!
0:10:56 > 0:10:58That takes your total up to 52
0:10:58 > 0:11:01and you are through to the next round. Very well done indeed.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Strong playing on that last podium.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Yeah, he was the leader of the Conservatives for a couple of years.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Thank you very much indeed.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Now, Shani.- Hello. - Shani, welcome back.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- Thank you. - Remind us what you do, Shani.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I work part-time as a therapy assistant,
0:11:14 > 0:11:17but I'm also studying part-time to become an occupational therapist.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Right you are. And what are your hobbies, Shani?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Erm, I like going to the gym as well.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Going spinning, spinning classes.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26And then we also like going to the cinema a lot
0:11:26 > 0:11:29and walking our dogs as well. I've got two Jack Russells.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Very good. How old are your Jack Russells?- Four.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Aw, are they related? - Yeah, brothers.- Very nice.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- What sort of age did you get them? Tiny little puppies?- Yeah, tiny.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39- Yeah.- Aw, very nice indeed.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Now, Shani, you're on 53.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43You are the high-scorers at this point.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- Yeah.- You didn't look best pleased...
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- No, not at all.- ..with this round. Oh, I'm sorry.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51It's all right. And I think I know a few, but I've got a name in my head,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53and I don't know what this person looks like,
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- but I'm just going to go with it. - Throw it out there.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Let's see if it sticks.- Theresa May.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Theresa May, says Shani.- Yeah.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02LAUGHTER Let's see if it sticks.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03- Fingers crossed.- Theresa May.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05How many of our 100 people said Theresa May?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07There's no red line, as you're the high-scorers,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09but how far down the column will we get with Theresa May?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Is it right, is the crucial question?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Oh!- Oh, I'm sorry, Shani.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Not Theresa May.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21That takes your total up to 153.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- I'm so sorry.- Yeah, Theresa May not, I'm afraid.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26LAUGHTER No.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Now, Linda, welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Thank you.- And what do you do?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33I'm a freelancer and I do marketing and advertising sales
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- for academic publishers. - Are you based in Oxford?
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Well, I work from home a lot of the time,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40but I go onto customer sites and work for them directly
0:12:40 > 0:12:41- if that's what they want, yeah. - I see.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Obviously, there's a very famous publisher of academic books
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- based in Oxford, isn't there? - Yes, there is.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Do you do a lot of stuff for them? - One of my best customers.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51There we are. Very good. And what excites you outside of work?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Well, my favourite thing at the moment is painting naked people,
0:12:54 > 0:12:56but I also run a book club
0:12:56 > 0:12:58and I like photography as well.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Let me just clear this up. You...
0:12:59 > 0:13:01LAUGHTER They...they...
0:13:01 > 0:13:03They're over there and you paint them on paper,
0:13:03 > 0:13:04or do you go over and paint on them?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I think they might hit me if I went over and painted on them.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10No, but I ask because there is also painting naked people.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12If you do body painting, it tends to be naked people.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14No, I know this.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- Go on.- I don't know anything about that.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19I have been body-painted.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- Yeah.- Really?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- Yep. I have.- When did this happen?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25I see you a lot, and I haven't noticed.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28I'm not actually wearing clothes right now, Richard!
0:13:28 > 0:13:29LAUGHTER
0:13:29 > 0:13:30That is so impressive.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- I know.- That is very, very good.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34This is all painted on.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Wow. Quite hot lights here.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- Yep.- Hope it's not going to melt.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39You'll notice this is why I never rub myself.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44- Who body-painted you?- Well, there were three people who did it.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47What?! This is like something from Anne's memoirs!
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Yeah. LAUGHTER
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Yeah. Very exciting.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Now, Linda, you're on 23. Doesn't matter what you score,
0:13:53 > 0:13:55you're through to the next round, whatever happens.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57OK, well, I think I'll go for Michael Howard.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Michael Howard, says Linda. There's no red line. You're already through.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Let's see how many of our 100 said Michael Howard.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Wow. Look at that! Down to 11.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14That is the lowest score
0:14:14 > 0:14:15of the round so far, Linda.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Very impressive indeed.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Takes your total up to 34, the lowest total of the round.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Very good answer. He was leader of the Conservatives
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- after Iain Duncan Smith. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Now then, Arry.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Arry, you've been very patient. You've been watching
0:14:29 > 0:14:32while all of your answers have been stolen by other people.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Of course.- Not a murmur of complaint from you, for which I commend you.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Arry, welcome to the show again.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Remind us what you do.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I'm a field sales executive.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Field sales?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- Yes.- Any good fields you've sold recently?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Plenty. I don't know, I can't really choose one.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- Pastures, meadowland, sward... - Everywhere.- The lot.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Arry, what do you do for fun?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56What amuses you outside of work?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Big sports fan. Football fan.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01West Brom fan. Also...
0:15:01 > 0:15:04..enjoy techno. If you know anything about that, Alexander?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- I'm sure you do. Mr Techno. - I am Captain Techno(!)
0:15:07 > 0:15:10As I'm sure is well known. Yeah, I know...
0:15:10 > 0:15:12There's a lot I know about that.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Yeah...
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Do you make techno yourself, or do you...?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- No, listen and live it. - Live it. Live techno.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Just live it.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- That's good.- It's like Meccano.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Yeah.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- Oh, I see!- Yeah.- Ah, yes.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Very good indeed. But not a DJ?- No.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36A DJ of techno?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Arry, politics. Let's bring it back to the game.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Good news - you're through to the next round.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Very good news.- Hm.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Just going to go with a safe answer. George Osborne.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48George Osborne, says Arry.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Just like that. No red line for you. You're already through.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54But let's see how many of our 100 people said George Osborne.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58It's right.
0:16:01 > 0:16:0326 for George Osborne...
0:16:03 > 0:16:04APPLAUSE
0:16:04 > 0:16:06..taking your total up to 61. Through you go.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- That's a low score for George Osborne.- Isn't it?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Let's go through the rest of these.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Starting from the top left, William Hague. 56 points.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Then Hilary Benn. Then...?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Jack Straw.- Jack Straw is 35.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19- Tessa Jowell.- It's Harriet Harman.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- Oh, Harriet Harman!- Yeah. - Oh, my goodness!
0:16:23 > 0:16:2621 points for Harriet Harman, top right there.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Now, next to Margaret Beckett, do you know this gentleman?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Um... Um...
0:16:31 > 0:16:33David Cameron is the guy's name.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34- Yes, yes.- 83 points for David Cameron.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- Well done, 17 of you. - LAUGHTER
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Now, the best answer on the board -
0:16:38 > 0:16:40again, has stood in for Jeremy Corbyn...
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- Angela Eagle.- Angela Eagle, yes. 3 points for her.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Then there's Prescott.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Next row down, John Major - 65.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Margaret Thatcher scoring less than David Cameron - 81.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Tony Blair scoring less than Margaret Thatcher - 71.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57And bottom row, the only one we haven't had, bottom left.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- Nick Clegg.- Nick Clegg, who would have scored 39.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Do you know, that looks like a sort of still from
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- The Bourne Identity or something, doesn't it?- The Nick Clegg one?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07The scenery is changing very fast behind him.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- It is a still from The Bourne Identity.- I see.- He's in that.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11- He plays an operative.- He does?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13His entire role in the coalition
0:17:13 > 0:17:16was deep cover for his role in that film.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- That's right. - He was never really a politician.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- No.- Amazing, isn't it? - Yeah, amazing.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Actually, he's Tom Hiddleston. - LAUGHTER
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- Ah!- With prosthetics.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Golly. When you look really hard, you still can't see it, can you?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30It's amazing. LAUGHTER
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Incredible. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34So, at the end of our first round,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37the pair who are heading home with their high score of 153,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40I'm so sorry, Shani and Carl - back to Barnsley after only one round.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I'm sorry we gave you Politicians.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- It just happens from time to time. - Yeah.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46But we have to say goodbye. Thank you so much for playing.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- Shani and Carl.- Thank you.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50APPLAUSE
0:17:50 > 0:17:53But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01And so, suddenly, we're down to three pairs. Hats off to all of you.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Not an incorrect answer from our remaining contestants,
0:18:05 > 0:18:07and a Politicians round. That's rare. That is rare.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09And, Linda, very well done.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Our lowest score of the round there with Michael Howard.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:18:17 > 0:18:20It's Fiction. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- who's going to go second? - I'll go first.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30OK. And the question concerns...
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Novels In Haiku, Richard.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37On each board, we're going to give you six clues to the names
0:18:37 > 0:18:40of famous novels. You just have to tell us what the novels are, please.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42All those clues are in the form of haikus,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45which is a poem of five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48That's just to entertain ourselves.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50And it will. LAUGHTER
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Let's reveal our first board of six haikus.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55And here they are. We have got...
0:19:29 > 0:19:30I'll read those again.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59There we are. Ash.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Er, it's not my strongest...
0:20:02 > 0:20:03..topic, to be honest,
0:20:03 > 0:20:05but there are two that I could probably just go with,
0:20:05 > 0:20:07just to get scores on the board.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- Good.- So, I'm going to say
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Lord Of The Rings.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11For?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- Number three.- Number three.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Lord Of The Rings.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17OK, let's see if that's right.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Lord Of The Rings.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26No. I'm afraid, Ash, not Lord Of The Rings.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Scores you 100 points.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Yeah, sorry, Ash, I'll give you all the correct answers
0:20:30 > 0:20:31at the end of the pass.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Thanks very much indeed. Now, Linda.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- Hm.- Linda. That takes the pressure off a little bit.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Yeah. So I think I'm going to go for a safer one
0:20:40 > 0:20:43than I was thinking of going for. I'm going to go for the bottom one,
0:20:43 > 0:20:45and say Pride And Prejudice.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Pride And Prejudice, says Linda.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Pride And Prejudice for Lizzie and Darcy.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56It's right.
0:21:00 > 0:21:0133.
0:21:01 > 0:21:0433 for Pride And Prejudice.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Yeah, it was originally going to be called First Impressions,
0:21:07 > 0:21:10but the publisher turned down the first draft, so she changed it.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Hm.- It's a good title, Pride And Prejudice.- It's good. Much better -
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Pride And Prejudice.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17First Impressions sounds like a sitcom from 1984.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Doesn't it? - It does a little bit, yeah.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22There we are. Thank you very much indeed. OK, now, then.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Anne, this board is all yours.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Would you like to go through it and fill in all our blanks?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29I take it the first one is Harry Potter.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32The second one, I'm not sure.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I think it could be Metropolis.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36I think the next one is The Hobbit.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39I don't know what the Lyra Belacqua is,
0:21:39 > 0:21:40but I think Tolstoy is
0:21:40 > 0:21:43War And Peace, so that's the one I'm going for,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- War And Peace.- OK, War And Peace, says Anne.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Let's see how many of our 100 people said War And Peace.
0:21:54 > 0:21:5664 for War And Peace.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58APPLAUSE
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Yeah, the biggest scorer up there, War And Peace.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04The Hobbit would have been a slightly better answer.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08It is The Hobbit, of course. That would have scored you 45 points.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Lord Of The Rings not published until 1954.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13The young boy... It is a low-scorer, this,
0:22:13 > 0:22:15because you need the full title, obviously.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16That happened in the first book, which is...
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Which is Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24That would have scored 9.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Set in the world state - that is Aldous Huxley's...
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- Brave New World.- Brave New World.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Best answer on the board. 2 points for that.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33And the Lyra Belacqua is...
0:22:33 > 0:22:35See, I'm struggling with what the actual name is.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37His Dark Materials?
0:22:37 > 0:22:40That's the trilogy, but it's the first one in that.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41- By Philip Pullman.- Yeah.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- Something Tower?- Northern Lights.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- Northern...- There we are.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- Of course it's Northern Lights. - 10 points for that.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Very well done if you said Brave New World, especially.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Terrific answer.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Thank you very much indeed. We're halfway through the round.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Let's take a look at those scores. 33 the best score of the pass.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Very well done indeed, Linda.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Linda and Ian I think can be sure of a place in the head-to-head,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03as, I would hazard a guess, can Anne and Paul.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Now, Ash and Arry, you're way ahead there.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Arry, we're going to need a nice low score from you in the next pass to
0:23:08 > 0:23:10keep you in the game, so good luck with that.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:23:16 > 0:23:20OK, let's put six more haikus up on the board, and here they are.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21We've got...
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I'll read those one last time.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18There we are.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23Now, Paul... On 64, so 35 or less keeps you in the game.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25I'm not sure if it's going to get that low,
0:24:25 > 0:24:29but I think the telekinesis, the fourth one down,
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- is Matilda.- Matilda, says Paul.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32Here is your red line.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34If you can get below that red line with Matilda,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36you are in the head-to-head for sure.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Let's see how many of our 100 people said Matilda.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43It's right.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48You've done it. Look at that. 34.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50You needed 35. 34 you've got.
0:24:50 > 0:24:5198 is your total.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Sailing through. The last of his long children's books, Matilda.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- It's a great story. - A wonderful story.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01I would have thought it was earlier than that. It's funny, isn't it?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- Isn't that funny?- '88?- Yeah, I know. Completely missed us.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04I wish we'd had that to grow up to.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- That would've been nice, wouldn't it?- Wouldn't it have been nice?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- It's almost worth having more kids. - Yeah. Yeah.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11LAUGHTER
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Now, Ian, on 33.
0:25:13 > 0:25:1566 is your target.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I think I'll just go for the bottom one,
0:25:17 > 0:25:19and that is Catcher In The Rye.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Catcher In The Rye, says Ian.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Let's see if that's right for Holden Caulfield.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Here is your red line. Get below that,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27you're definitely into the head-to-head.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29How many people said Catcher In The Rye?
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Very well done. Through you go.
0:25:39 > 0:25:408.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42An impressive low score there,
0:25:42 > 0:25:43taking your total up to 41.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46I do love The Catcher In The Rye.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- Yeah.- 65 million books sold.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Still sells quarter of a million a year.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54- That's quite something.- That'll do. - Still speaks to every new generation.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55There we are. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Now, Arry... I'm afraid the writing
0:25:57 > 0:25:59is on the podium. But...
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Do you fancy just
0:26:01 > 0:26:04walking us through the board, seeing if you can fill any answers in?
0:26:04 > 0:26:08I wish I could, but I only know one, which is the boys on an island.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- Lord Of The Flies. - Lord Of The Flies, says Arry.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14No red line for you, I'm afraid, as you are already our high-scorers.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Let's see how many of our 100 people said Lord Of The Flies.
0:26:24 > 0:26:2741 for Lord Of The Flies,
0:26:27 > 0:26:28taking your total up to 141.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Yeah, nice way to leave us, Arry.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Well played. Let's fill in the rest of these, shall we?
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Do you want to fill in these?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Yeah, I think I can do all of that.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37OK, Mr Rochester.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- That is Jane Eyre.- Jane Eyre. 29 points.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- The Beat novel?- On The Road.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Yep. And that's 14.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46And the shipwrecked sailor?
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- Robinson Crusoe.- Yep. And that would have scored 59.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51So the best answer is The Catcher In The Rye. Well done if you said that.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53There we are. Thank you very much. So, at the end of our second round,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56the pair we have to say goodbye to, with a high score of 141,
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Arry and Ash. I'm afraid it's you, our last returning pair.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01I'm sorry this is the end of the road,
0:27:01 > 0:27:04but it's been great having you here. Thank you very much for playing.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Arry and Ash.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07APPLAUSE
0:27:07 > 0:27:10But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Congratulations, Ian and Linda, Anne and Paul.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22You're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:27:22 > 0:27:26which currently stands at £1,000. There we are.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27Well, we have reached the head-to-head,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30which means you are now allowed to confer before you give your answers.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35I mean, very well done. We've got our naked painters
0:27:35 > 0:27:38versus our raunchy novelists. LAUGHTER
0:27:38 > 0:27:42What about that? A lot of steam coming off this head-to-head, I'll say.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44But you've seen off our two returning pairs, so, yes,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46both of you, forces to be reckoned with.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48I think this should be very close.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Best of luck. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Here is your first question.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59And it concerns...
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- Arts And Crafts. Richard.- We're going to show you the names
0:28:04 > 0:28:06now of five different types of art or craft,
0:28:06 > 0:28:07but we're going to show you them in anagram form.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Can you tell us what they are, please?
0:28:09 > 0:28:12OK, thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five anagrams.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14And here they come.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15We have got...
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Now then, Ian and Linda,
0:28:28 > 0:28:31you've been our low-scorers up to this point, so you will go first.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33- Not seeing anything there. - Well...
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Top one is sewing, but that's too easy.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Not seeing anything.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40SHE WHISPERS
0:28:40 > 0:28:42I think we're going to have to go for that.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44We're both really bad at anagrams.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46We were hoping not to get anagrams.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50So we can only see the top one, which is sewing.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52OK. Sewing, say Ian and Linda.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Now then, Anne and Paul, can you talk us through the rest?
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Um, yes, the second one - embroidery.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01And the bottom one is pottery.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Struggling with the other two.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- Embroidery.- Embroidery.- OK, you're going to go for embroidery.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09So we have sewing and embroidery. Ian and Linda said sewing.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Let's see how many of our 100 people got sewing.
0:29:17 > 0:29:1972 for sewing.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24And Anne and Paul have gone for embroidery for the second one down.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31It's right.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33And it wins you the point.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Good answer. 29.
0:29:37 > 0:29:38Very well done indeed, Anne and Paul.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41After one question, you're up 1-0.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Yeah, three and four are the harder ones there. The one at the bottom,
0:29:44 > 0:29:47you're right, is pottery. It looks like it's "poetry", doesn't it?
0:29:47 > 0:29:48Pottery. 38 points for that.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52- How are you on these other two? - Not good.- Cluster up is an art
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- rather than a craft. - Got it. Sculpture.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- Sculpture.- There we go.- And that would have scored you 9 points.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01This other one is a pointless answer.
0:30:01 > 0:30:02Anybody in the audience?
0:30:02 > 0:30:03- WOMAN:- Needlepoint.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- Needlepoint is exactly the right answer. - ALL EXCLAIM
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Very well done if you got that at home.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10- Very good indeed. - That's infuriating, isn't it?
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- Yeah, isn't it?- Oh.- Oh. There we are. Thank you very much.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15So, here comes your second question.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Now, Ian and Linda, Anne and Paul get to answer this one first,
0:30:18 > 0:30:20but you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21So very, very best of luck.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Our second question today is all about...
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Game Birds & Waterfowl, Richard.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30We're going to show you five pictures now of game birds
0:30:30 > 0:30:32and waterfowl you might find in the UK.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34We'd like you to give us their names, please.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37OK, let's reveal our five birds. And here they come.
0:30:37 > 0:30:38We've got...
0:31:05 > 0:31:06There we are.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Five game birds and waterfowl.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11There we go.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Now, Paul and Anne, you will go first.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Which one do you think?
0:31:17 > 0:31:19B?
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Um, we'll go with B
0:31:21 > 0:31:23and say golden plover.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Golden plover, say Anne and Paul. Golden plover.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Now then, Ian and Linda,
0:31:28 > 0:31:30the rest of those game birds and waterfowl are all yours.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Do you want to talk us through them?
0:31:32 > 0:31:34A is a coot.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37C, I think, is a common snipe.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38D is a Canada goose.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Is E a red-legged partridge?
0:31:42 > 0:31:46So I think I'll go with E, a red-legged partridge.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Red-legged partridge, say Ian and Linda.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50So we have golden plover and red-legged partridge.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Anne and Paul, golden plover.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Let's see how many of our 100 people got that for B.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05Look at that. Very well done indeed.
0:32:05 > 0:32:0716.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Now, Ian and Linda, meanwhile,
0:32:11 > 0:32:13have gone for the red-legged partridge for E.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14Let's see if that's right,
0:32:14 > 0:32:17let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19It's right.
0:32:24 > 0:32:2537.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27So very well done, Paul and Anne,
0:32:27 > 0:32:29because that means that after only two questions,
0:32:29 > 0:32:31- you are straight through to the final, 2-0.- Well done.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Very well played. I think both teams knew all of those.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Very impressive knowledge. Nothing you could have done.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38The golden plover is the best answer up there.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41I always, on these rounds, I try and see what letters fit into that,
0:32:41 > 0:32:43and I thought it was a gilded plover.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Can you imagine the fool I'd have made of myself?
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Oh, yes. The furore that would follow!
0:32:47 > 0:32:50I love plovers, golden plovers.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- They're very rare now.- Are they? - They're ground nesters, you see.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Why would you be a ground nester?
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- I mean, why would you?- You know?
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- I would... If I was a plover... - Yeah.- ..I'd say, "Do you know what?
0:33:01 > 0:33:04"It's nice, the ground, but look, everybody else is up in trees."
0:33:04 > 0:33:06- "Do it. A tree."- "Everybody."
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Then the other one would go, "How do we get up there?"
0:33:08 > 0:33:10And you think, "Um...
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- "Hello?"- Yeah.- They fly, right?
0:33:12 > 0:33:13Yeah.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16- Now, A is coot.- Hm.
0:33:16 > 0:33:1764.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19That's a mean-looking stare, that, isn't it?
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- Yeah, he's furious about something, isn't he?- They never blink.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Do they not?
0:33:24 > 0:33:26- I don't know.- I bet they do... - I don't think they do.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28- I've never seen one blink. - I bet they do when you look away.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31If you look away, they go, "Oh!"
0:33:31 > 0:33:34- And they look at you again.- Yeah.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37And at night, all you can see is their red eyes.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- Oh, really? That's not a coot. That's an assassin.- Oh, sorry, yes.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42You're right. You're absolutely right. Yeah.
0:33:42 > 0:33:4464 for coot.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45The common snipe.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48That's a bit of a mean name, isn't it?
0:33:48 > 0:33:49That would have scored you 30.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Canada goose, of course, the biggest scorer, the Canada goose.
0:33:54 > 0:33:5684. Canada geese can travel
0:33:56 > 0:33:59over 1,500 miles in a day.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01You know they do that V formation?
0:34:01 > 0:34:02If there's favourable wind,
0:34:02 > 0:34:04over 1,500 miles in 24 hours.
0:34:04 > 0:34:05Wow.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11So, the pair leaving us at the end of our head-to-head round,
0:34:11 > 0:34:13I'm afraid it's Ian and Linda.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Our low-scoring pair coming into the head-to-head.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18There is a silver lining to this cloud,
0:34:18 > 0:34:20and I can tell you that we will see you again next time.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Otherwise, it would all have been far too brief
0:34:23 > 0:34:25for you to have wandered into the final, never to be seen again.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Obviously, in real life, you would be, but just in Pointless terms.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30We'll see you again. We'll look forward to that very much.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33In the meantime, thanks very much, Ian and Linda.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35APPLAUSE
0:34:35 > 0:34:38But for Anne and Paul, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Congratulations, Anne and Paul.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46You have fought off all the competition,
0:34:46 > 0:34:49- and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.- Yes!
0:34:55 > 0:34:57You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,000.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05Well, only one appearance on the show, but what an appearance!
0:35:05 > 0:35:08You've gone through the show like a knife through butter,
0:35:08 > 0:35:12and we've thrown Politicians at you, which is never easy, never nice.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14We've thrown Books In Haiku form.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15We've thrown Arts And Crafts,
0:35:15 > 0:35:17and we've thrown Game Birds & Waterfowl at you.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21And here you are, 2-0 in the head-to-head, no argument with that.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Looking like strong contenders, I would say, for that jackpot.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27What would you particularly like to see come up in this last round?
0:35:27 > 0:35:29I know what I'd like not to see.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32- Go on, let's hear it. - Celebrity culture,
0:35:32 > 0:35:33recent pop music.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37Oh! Recent... Oh, the bane of our life!
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Yes, OK. You can dodge that. There might be some of that up there,
0:35:41 > 0:35:43but there'll be four things for you to choose from.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Anything you would like to see, Anne?
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Yeah, Premier League football managers.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49You continue to surprise me, Anne.
0:35:49 > 0:35:50LAUGHTER
0:35:50 > 0:35:52And me!
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Fantastic. OK, well, as always,
0:35:55 > 0:35:57you get to choose your category from the four we put up there.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Let's see what today's selection looks like.
0:36:01 > 0:36:02We've got...
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- I know nothing about US crime writers.- No.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- Podium Finishers? - Southern Geography?
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- Yeah.- Yeah?- Yeah. - Southern Geography.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- Southern Geography it is. Richard.- OK, very best of luck.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Three questions here. We are looking for any of the following, please.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27We are looking for any of the 12 London boroughs
0:36:27 > 0:36:30that are wholly or partly south of the River Thames.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32We are looking for the capital cities
0:36:32 > 0:36:35of any of the nine South African provinces,
0:36:35 > 0:36:38or we are looking for the capital cities, the official capital cities,
0:36:38 > 0:36:39of any of the 12 nations
0:36:39 > 0:36:42that make up the Union of South American Nations, please.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44So, South London Boroughs,
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Capital Cities Of South African Provinces,
0:36:46 > 0:36:49or Capital Cities Of The Union Of South American Nations.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:36:53 > 0:36:54to come up with three answers,
0:36:54 > 0:36:58and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:58 > 0:36:59Are you ready?
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- Yes.- Yeah.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- London geography?- I don't know...
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Right, OK, forget that one.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11- Capital cities...- Pretoria.- Jo'burg.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12Soweto?
0:37:14 > 0:37:17South America.... So, Buenos Aires.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20- Capital city.- Rio.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Brasilia.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- Lima.- Lima, yeah.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Santiago.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29What's the capital of Venezuela?
0:37:31 > 0:37:33- No?- Caracas. Caracas.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36So, for South Africa, we could go...
0:37:36 > 0:37:38- Sowe...- Soweto.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Yeah. Capital, South African, I think we'll go Soweto.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Soweto, yeah.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- South America...- Go for Lima?
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- And Caracas?- Yeah.- Yeah. OK.- OK? You've landed on your answers?
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Well, we'll stop the clock there. Let's have those three answers.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54If you can you say which category you're answering,
0:37:54 > 0:37:55- that'd be great.- Right.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59Capital Cities Of South African Provinces, we're going to go Soweto.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- Soweto.- Yeah.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05Union Of South American Nations, we're going to go Caracas.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07- Caracas.- And...- Lima.- Lima.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10And Lima. Of those three, your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- Which do you think?- Soweto. - Soweto we will put last.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:14 > 0:38:16- Lima?- Lima.- Lima.- Lima.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18OK, well, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order, then.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20And here they are. We have got...
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Now, three answers on the board there.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Any one of those could easily be pointless.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31If you were to win that jackpot, what would you do with the money?
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Easy. Family party.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- Yeah.- A family party.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Yeah, that'd be fun. Have you got an idea when you might have it?
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Just so we can check our diaries...
0:38:40 > 0:38:41Yeah, yeah. June.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- June. Lovely. Very nice indeed.- Barbecue weather.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47- Oh! That would be fabulous. - Prosecco, you know.- Oh!
0:38:47 > 0:38:51- Perfect.- Not at my house, this time. - My mouth is now watering.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53OK. So, in the first instance, you have gone for Lima.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55We were looking for capital cities
0:38:55 > 0:38:57of the Union of South American Nations.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59If this turns out to be pointless,
0:38:59 > 0:39:01you will have won yourselves £1,000.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Let's see how many of our 100 people said Lima.
0:39:04 > 0:39:05Is it pointless?
0:39:08 > 0:39:09It's right.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Now then, if Lima takes us all the way down to zero,
0:39:12 > 0:39:13you will leave here with £1,000.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Down it goes. Through the 40s, into the 30s.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17Down into the 20s.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Still going down. 21 for Lima.
0:39:19 > 0:39:20APPLAUSE
0:39:23 > 0:39:25I just thought that was going to go all the way down, for some reason.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Anyway, there we are. 21, not a bad score.
0:39:28 > 0:39:29Sadly, not a pointless answer there.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32You only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:32 > 0:39:33Your next answer was Caracas.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Once again, we're looking for capital cities of
0:39:35 > 0:39:37the Union of South American Nations.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40If this is pointless, it will win you £1,000.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Caracas.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48It's right.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Lima took us down to 21.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Caracas now takes us down through the 30s,
0:39:53 > 0:39:56into the 20s, passes 21, through the teens,
0:39:56 > 0:39:58into single figures, down it goes, still going down...
0:39:58 > 0:40:014! Ooh, that's more like it.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02APPLAUSE
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Brilliant score. 4 is wonderful.
0:40:06 > 0:40:07Caracas was a great answer.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Again, though, annoyingly, in this round,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12we're only interested in pointless answers,
0:40:12 > 0:40:15which means you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Your last answer, the one you thought was your best shot
0:40:17 > 0:40:19at a pointless answer, was Soweto.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21In this case, we were looking for the capital cities
0:40:21 > 0:40:24of South African provinces. You've said Soweto.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26It has to be right, then it has to be pointless.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30If it's both of those things, you will have won yourselves £1,000.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Let's see how many of our 100 people said Soweto.
0:40:36 > 0:40:37Oh!
0:40:37 > 0:40:38AUDIENCE GROANS
0:40:38 > 0:40:39Bad luck.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41APPLAUSE
0:40:43 > 0:40:47Bad luck. I'm afraid Soweto, an incorrect answer, which means,
0:40:47 > 0:40:49very, very close though you came with Caracas,
0:40:49 > 0:40:52you haven't managed to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:40:52 > 0:40:55so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:55 > 0:40:56That rolls over on to the next show.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58But you can be so proud of your performance.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Brilliant performance right across the show. 2-0 in the head-to-head.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03No arguing with that.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05- And you get to take home a Pointless trophy.- Yes!
0:41:05 > 0:41:08So very, very well done indeed. It's been wonderful having you on.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09Anne and Paul, brilliant!
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Yeah, Soweto not a city, I'm afraid. It adjoins Johannesburg.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Southwest Township is where it gets its name from.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Let's take a look now at the pointless answers
0:41:22 > 0:41:23that would have won you that jackpot.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25We will start with South London boroughs.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29Only two pointless answers here, but lots of people know Kingston.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Sutton, also a pointless answer.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Bexley would have scored you 1. Merton would have scored you 2.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Southwark - the biggest scorer there.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40Now, these South African provinces, the capitals of.
0:41:40 > 0:41:41Bhisho, which is Eastern Cape.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Kimberley, which is the diamond centre.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46That's the capital of the Northern Cape.
0:41:46 > 0:41:47Mahikeng, Mbombela.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49You also could have had Polokwane,
0:41:49 > 0:41:52which is the capital of the Limpopo province.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54It's just an excuse for me to say Limpopo.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56- It's quite fun. - LAUGHTER
0:41:56 > 0:41:59And on to these capitals. Only one pointless answer in this,
0:41:59 > 0:42:02which is Georgetown, which is the capital of Guyana.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Very well done if you said that. Georgetown is on the Demerara River,
0:42:05 > 0:42:08which is where the sugar gets its name from.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Sweet, isn't it? Literally a sweet. I didn't mean it like that.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Honestly, I can't help myself sometimes.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Just to give you the other answers,
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Brasilia was the biggest scorer, then Lima, Buenos Aires,
0:42:18 > 0:42:20and then the better scorers -
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Santiago, 9, Bogota, 7,
0:42:22 > 0:42:23Quito, 5, La Paz 3,
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Asuncion, which is Paraguay, that would have scored you 2.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30Paramaribo, which is Suriname, would have scored you 1 point.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Sucre, which is the other capital of Bolivia, would have scored you 1.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35And Montevideo, which is Uruguay, also would have scored you 1.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39So, some annoying 1-point answers there.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42- Hm.- But very well done if you got any pointless answers at home.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Terrific work. Unless you live in Kingston or Sutton, in which case,
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- you should have got one! - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51Well, very sadly, Anne and Paul didn't win the jackpot today,
0:42:51 > 0:42:53which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:42:53 > 0:42:56when we will be playing for £2,000.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Join us then, see if someone can win it.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...
0:43:02 > 0:43:05- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
