0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where the aim of the game is to avoid the obvious answers
0:00:28 > 0:00:29and find the obscure ones.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hi, I'm Liya, this is my fiance Anthony.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41We're originally from Sydney but currently living in London.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- Couple number two.- Hi, my name is Claire, I live in Cornwall,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47and this is my sister Louise, she lives near Bath.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Couple number three.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm St John. This is my partner Catherine,
0:00:50 > 0:00:51and we're from Walthamstow in London.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And finally, couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Hello, my name is Joe,
0:00:54 > 0:00:57this is my friend Parag and we are students at Cardiff University.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Thanks very much to all of you.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05A very warm welcome to Pointless to each and every one.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08We'll get a chance to chat to you throughout the show as it happens,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14So fresh, so clean, so refreshingly mean!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Hiya. Hey, everybody, good afternoon.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Good afternoon to you, sir.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23- Good afternoon.- How are you?
0:01:23 > 0:01:24I'm very well, thank you.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Excellent. Really frontloading the show today.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29First two podiums were the people on the last show on podium one,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Anthony and Liya, welcome back, got knocked out in Round Two.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Unfortunate to get knocked out, I think, on a Shakespearean question.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37And on podium two, Louise and Claire,
0:01:37 > 0:01:39who got all the way through to the head-to-head.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42So welcome to podiums three and four, but some very,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44very strong competition there on those first two podiums.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- I should say so.- Or podia.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- Podia.- People often say the plural of podiums is podia.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Well, it is strictly, if you want to be annoying.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I think it's sort of is. But imagine if we said podia all the time.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56There are some things that are right
0:01:56 > 0:01:58that you just don't want to be doing!
0:01:58 > 0:02:00And that's one of them. I might start saying it now, actually.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- You should do.- I'll say it like that. It sounds great. Thank you very much indeed.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Now Ken and Lucy didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08which means we add another £1,000 to that,
0:02:08 > 0:02:12so today's jackpot starts off at £2,000. There we are.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24So remember, the pair with the highest score at the end of
0:02:24 > 0:02:26each round will be eliminated.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28That's the only rule you have to remember, that,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31and the fact there is no conferring until we get to the head-to-head.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36Best of luck to all four pairs, our first category today is Football.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Football. Can you all decide on your pairs, was going to go first,
0:02:39 > 0:02:40who's going to go second?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42And whoever is going first please stepped up to the podium.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many English
0:02:52 > 0:02:56football teams with 13 or more letters in their name as they could.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59English football teams with 13 or more letters in their name.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- Richard.- Looking for any of the 92 teams in the top four flights of
0:03:03 > 0:03:05English football in the 2015-2016 season
0:03:05 > 0:03:07with 13 or more letters in their name, please.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12We don't take FC and people's names, just the regular name.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13- The regular name.- Yeah.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16OK. Thank you very much indeed.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Now, Anthony, welcome back.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19- Thank you.- Welcome back.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Here, originally from Sydney...
0:03:21 > 0:03:23- Yes.- Here, kind of on placement, you might say.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Yeah, for a couple of years. - Maybe.- We'll see.- For a few years.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Who knows? Maybe you'll put down such strong English roots that
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- you won't want to go back! - Maybe! Maybe.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34You won't want sunshine!
0:03:34 > 0:03:37You'll have got used to rain and...
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- Fog!- All those things.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Anthony, what do you do? - I'm a software engineer.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43A software engineer.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44And you do that in London?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- I do that in London.- Does that allow you time to do other things?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- I hope it does.- Yes, yes, I enjoy playing a bit of sport.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52I like playing badminton and tennis on the weekend
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- and in the evening sometimes.- Very good indeed.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57OK, now, Anthony. English football.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58- Yes.- Are you across that?
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Yes, I do follow it.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03We used to watch it back in Australia at midnight or 2am.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- That is following it, isn't it?- Yes. - Wow.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07So what would you like to go for?
0:04:07 > 0:04:13Er...I'm going to go for my local London team, Queens Park Rangers.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Queens Park Rangers, says Anthony.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Let's see how many of our 100 people went for QPR.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22It's right.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Very good indeed! Look at that,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Anthony, 5 for Queens Park Rangers.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32What an excellent start to the round.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33And indeed the show.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Lovely start, Anthony, well played. 17 letters in Queens Park Rangers.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38They're the big rivals of my team.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41So I'm never allowed to say anything about them.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- Mmm.- Great bunch of lads.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Great bunch of lads, 17 letters.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46You've got to hand it to QPR,
0:04:46 > 0:04:48they've got 17 letters in their name.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49- There we go.- Give them that.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Mmm. OK, now, Louise.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- Welcome back.- Thank you.- Welcome back.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- Here from Wiltshire.- Yes.- Remind us what you do, Louise?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I'm a Swedish translator.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Now how many different translations do you work on at any time?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Oh, it can be about four or five.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Some of them very urgent, some of them not so urgent.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09OK. And it's very technical, isn't it?
0:05:09 > 0:05:10It can be, yes.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11You know when you go to...
0:05:11 > 0:05:13There is a very big furniture store from Sweden,
0:05:13 > 0:05:15and all their names are in Swedish,
0:05:15 > 0:05:17are they literal translations or are they making them up?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20They are usually Swedish towns, places.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22And actual words, yeah.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24So they're not actually lamps?
0:05:25 > 0:05:26You know what I mean.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28It's true. I do.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30They're good though, they've got good names.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Now, Louise.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- Football.- Yeah.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Um, I'm going to go with a very popular one, I'm afraid, here,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41which is Tottenham Hotspur.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42Tottenham Hotspur, says Louise.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Tottenham Hotspur.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Well, it's right, 5 is our only score at this point,
0:05:51 > 0:05:53so let's see what sort of context that should be placed in.
0:05:53 > 0:05:5629 for Tottenham Hotspur, there we are.
0:05:58 > 0:06:0116 letters. For Tottenham Hotspur.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- There you are.- They've got them to spare.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06They have. They have indeed.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07- Catherine.- Hi.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08A very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Great to have you here. What do you do, Catherine?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I'm an administrator for a London University.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Administrator in what sense? What are you...?- I deal with admissions,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19so everybody who applies for undergraduates and postgraduates.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21I see. How long have you done that?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23About two or three years now.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24- Do you enjoy it?- Yes.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Fair enough. And what do you do when you are not doing that,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- what excites you?- I'm a member of my local WI.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- I'm on the committee.- Are you?
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- Whereabouts is that? - It's in...around Archway,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37it's Gothic Valley WI.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Gothic... Now tell me about Gothic Valley WI!
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- Gothic Valley.- It's a group of Goths who got together,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46thinking that we would really like to...
0:06:46 > 0:06:49A Goth WI! Oh, that's the best thing I've ever heard.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52You all sing Bela Lugosi's Dead, at the end of each meeting?
0:06:52 > 0:06:53- Yes.- That's brilliant.- Things like that, yes.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58- Oh, you make sort of blackcurrant jam?- Blackberry jam!
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- Blackberry jam!- Putting the black back into blackberry jam!
0:07:01 > 0:07:03That's brilliant.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- How many of you are there?- There's about 25 of us, not all of us Goths,
0:07:07 > 0:07:09but, yes. Will you all come and visit us, maybe?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Yes.- We should come and visit them. That would be easier.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Wouldn't it? They could come up for a day out!
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- We'd bake for you.- I say a day out, the day out, they are all asleep,
0:07:18 > 0:07:19aren't they? Night out.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20That's what you do with...
0:07:20 > 0:07:24That's where Goths... But oh, brilliant.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Catherine, what would you like to go for?
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Um, I'm not very good at football but Preston North End.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32What about that? Preston North End!
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Straight out of the traps. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Preston North End.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Well, 29's our highest score, 5's our low.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47You've passed 29. You've joined 5, look at that.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Joint low scorers. Very well done indeed, Catherine.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Great answer, Catherine, well played.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Yeah, one of the founding members of the English football league.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Now then, Joe, a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Good to have you. From Cardiff.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Yes.- And what keeps you busy in Cardiff?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I'm a geography student.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06And I am also chairman of the University Cricket club.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Are you now?- I am, yeah.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Are you in your last year?- I am, yeah.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12On the final countdown.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Chairman, is that a social role...?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Both! Lots of administration,
0:08:16 > 0:08:20lots of kicking people out of bed at 8:30 in the morning on a cricket...
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Get them in the nets, yes. Got to be there.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Are you a batsman, a bowler, are you an all-rounder?
0:08:25 > 0:08:26I'm going to say a wicket keeper-batsman
0:08:26 > 0:08:28although my friends probably will disagree.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30OK, so middle order batsman?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- Yeah.- Very nice indeed.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35And Cardiff, where is Cardiff in the rankings, generally?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Up there, I believe.- Right up there! - But I'm not the person to ask!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41That is exciting. Does it count as first-class cricket,
0:08:41 > 0:08:42do you get listed in Wisden?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Oh, we don't, our University Cricket club doesn't.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48But we're a feeder club into the combined universities,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51the three universities in Cardiff, and they play at first-class level.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- Very nice indeed.- Our club's got a few players in there.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56OK. Maybe this summer, Joe...
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- I doubt it.- A few more early mornings in the nets, Joe,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- that's all I'm saying!- Yeah, maybe. A lot more, I think.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- A lot more.- OK. Joe, what would you like to go for?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I'm going to go for Hartlepool United.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Hartlepool United.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Hartlepool United, says Joe.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17It is right. Well, we have 29 as our high score,
0:09:17 > 0:09:18and 5 as our low score.
0:09:18 > 0:09:2129 you passed comfortably.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23And 5 you passed comfortably! Look at that, Joe! Down to 1!
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Very nicely done, Joe.
0:09:26 > 0:09:281 for Hartlepool United.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Yes, 16 letters in Hartlepool United.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Jeff Stelling from Sky is a Hartlepool fan.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36He walked from Hartlepool to Wembley because Hartlepool had never been,
0:09:36 > 0:09:38so he walked all the way via football grounds,
0:09:38 > 0:09:40raising a lot of money for prostate cancer research.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Good for him. Excellent.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Well, there we are, we're halfway through the round.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Let's take a look at our scores. Joe, hats off to you,
0:09:46 > 0:09:471 the best score of the pass.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Then 5 is where we find St John and Catherine and Anthony and Liya.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55And I'm afraid it's up to 29 for Louise and Claire.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I'm sorry. We need something like Hartlepool United from you, Claire,
0:09:58 > 0:10:01in the next pass, to keep you in the game, so good luck with that.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03We're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:08 > 0:10:09OK, so, Parag,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12remember we are looking for any English football team that has 13 or
0:10:12 > 0:10:14more letters in its name.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Welcome to Pointless, Parag. And what do you do?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19I'm a PhD student at Cardiff University as well.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- Oh, what's your subject?- Chemistry.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Chemistry. Do you specialise in any particular...?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25I specialise in heterogeneous catalysis.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Oh, heterogeneous, yes!
0:10:28 > 0:10:33Coincidently, one of the great Goth bands!
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Oh, so much better than homogenous catalysis, in my humble opinion,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40but there we are. And what do you do when you're not doing that, Parag?
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Like Joe, play cricket.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Well, I haven't played for a while, but I watch a lot of cricket.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I'm a steward at Lord's.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Now, that's fun. As a steward, what are you in charge of?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Well, I'm just mainly checking the tickets.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51That's the best job of all!
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Which presumably means when you shift finishes, you have...
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Yes, it's pretty good, we've got nice breaks,
0:10:55 > 0:10:57at lunch there's autograph sessions, so seeing...
0:10:57 > 0:10:59People come and get your autograph, that's nice.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Getting to see the team, quite a few of them have popped round, so...
0:11:02 > 0:11:05See, that's nice. And is there a sort of nice place where you can go
0:11:05 > 0:11:06and sit and watch the action?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Unfortunately, it is restricted view,
0:11:08 > 0:11:10but it's something there.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14It's better than nothing. Parag, now, brilliant low score from Joe.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Yes, I know. I'm a bit worried.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17The high score at the moment is 29, you're on 1.
0:11:17 > 0:11:2027 or less gets you through.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I've got a few in my head.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24I'm thinking Plymouth Argyle.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Plymouth Argyle has earned you a nod from Joe, which can only be good.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31There is your red line. Get below with that with Plymouth Argyle
0:11:31 > 0:11:33and you're into Round Two. How many people said it?
0:11:35 > 0:11:36It's right.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41And you're through.
0:11:41 > 0:11:4218 for Plymouth Argyle.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Slightly patronising pat on the shoulder from Joe there.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48But 19 is your total.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50The Pilgrims, Plymouth Argyle,
0:11:50 > 0:11:51that's quite a surprisingly high score.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- High score, I know. Surprising.- Well done, Plymouth Argyle.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Well done, yeah, whoever's doing their marketing's doing a great job.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Yeah, exactly. I believe they scored more points than Queens Park Rangers.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02- There you go.- There you go.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- In turn.- Listen, I make no comment about that.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- It's just a fact.- You know what, we should stop doing all our polling
0:12:08 > 0:12:11in Devon, don't you think? I think we need to move away from Totnes.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I know, but it's so lovely, the weather's so nice.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15I know, it's so nice, the toffees are delicious.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Exactly. And if you're going to stand outside with a clipboard,
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- you might as well have nice weather. - You know. Might as well.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22There we are. Thanks very much.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24St John. Hi. I think you're the first St John we've had on.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I would imagine so. It's not a particularly common name.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30It's not. It's a family name of relations of mine called St John.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35And worse still, one of their family Christian names is St Andrew.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38So St John is the surname, and St Andrew is a first name.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- Wow.- So, St Andrew St John.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Sorry... You've got people in your family
0:12:44 > 0:12:45whose first name is St Andrew?
0:12:45 > 0:12:50- Yes.- You might as well call your child Duke of Westminster.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- You might as well.- Presumably, presumably you can.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Is there anything stopping you if you have a baby tomorrow?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58You're not allowed to, apparently.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03You can't make your first name Duke, Earl, Duke of, Earl of.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06I'd like to see them try. That's what I'm going to do now.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08I'm now going to have some more children,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11and you wait and see what their names are going to be!
0:13:11 > 0:13:13There you are. Now, St John.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Hi. What do you do, St John?
0:13:15 > 0:13:16I'm a logistics manager.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18See, that's fun. Where do you do your logistics management?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I'm at the Royal Academy of Arts in central London.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Oh, that's beautiful.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Just off the Burlington Arcade there.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25Yes, slap-bang next to it, yes.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- How long have you been there? - Since May of last year.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31They're having their 250th anniversary in 2018,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34and both buildings are having a big refit and refurb,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36and I'm trying to make sure that the construction stuff and the artwork
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- don't get mixed up. - Right, yes, that is...
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- That would be a pain.- That is logistics.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43You're right next to the Albany, as well,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46which is another of those wonderful sort of all sort of preserved in
0:13:46 > 0:13:48aspic, isn't it? It's a little bit of old London there.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50OK, now, St John, there you are on 5.
0:13:50 > 0:13:5329 is the high score still. From Claire and Louise.
0:13:53 > 0:13:5423 is your target.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57There is a risky one I'm tempted to go for, however,
0:13:57 > 0:13:59I think I'm going to play it reasonably safe
0:13:59 > 0:14:01and say Wolverhampton Wanderers.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Wolverhampton Wanderers, says St John.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05There is your red line.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07If you get below that, you are through to the next round.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10How many people said Wolverhampton Wanderers?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19You're through! Look at that. 15.
0:14:20 > 0:14:2415 for Wolves takes your total up to 20.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26It's got the most letters of any English football club,
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Wolverhampton Wanderers, 22 letters.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Wolverhampton itself has got 13,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32then it adds another nine with Wanderers.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Yeah. Of all the clubs to be doing the merchandise for,
0:14:34 > 0:14:37I guess that's probably the best, isn't it?
0:14:37 > 0:14:38If you're paying by the letter!
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Paying by the letter, or perhaps the worst, if it's not by the letter.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46If it's a standard price and Wolves call up, you go no, sorry, sorry,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48we can't. Can't. Not big enough.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51That's why they call themselves Wolves.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52That'll be why.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Claire, welcome back.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Remind us what you do.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01I work for a charity in the South West that helps promote adults
0:15:01 > 0:15:04with learning difficulties living within family units.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06And that's based in Cornwall, is it, the charity?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Yes, it's based in Cornwall and Devon.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09And Devon. Very nice.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Do you ever go to Totnes?
0:15:10 > 0:15:14- We do, actually!- I can recommend a couple of places for lunch there!
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- We do!- Come and visit us! - We are based in Scorrier,
0:15:18 > 0:15:20and the other part of the office is based in Newton Abbot.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- Oh, well, there you are.- Which is quite near Totnes, I believe.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Excellent. Well, if you want to come and be part of our 100 people,
0:15:26 > 0:15:29feel free! Um, now, Claire, you're on 29.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Right.- We need a low score from you.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Well, I was going to have Plymouth Argyle, thanks, guys!
0:15:34 > 0:15:35Who are our local team,
0:15:35 > 0:15:39and the only other local team I know of is Torquay United.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Torquay United.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Now, that to me, I mean, just because it's got a Q in it, I guess,
0:15:44 > 0:15:46is going to be a very low score.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Torquay United, let's see how that does.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50No red line for you as you're the highest scorers.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Oh, no!
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Oh, Claire.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Oops.- Oh, Claire, I'm so sorry.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I salute what you were trying to do there,
0:16:02 > 0:16:04but I'm afraid it was a wrong answer.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07It scores you 100 points, and takes the total up to 129.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Yes, perfect on the letters, 13 of them,
0:16:09 > 0:16:12but no longer in the top four divisions, I'm afraid.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13They were relegated.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15They'll be back, I'm sure.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Liya.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23- Hi.- Liya, that has taken a lot of pressure off you there, has it not?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Liya, welcome back to Pointless.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Round Two we had to say goodbye to you last time...- Yes, that's right.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31..but it was a really good answer you gave, Taming Of The Shrew.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35It was a brave answer, and I'm sorry it cost you your place on the show.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36Remind us what you do, Liya.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39I work in the treasury division of a bank.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42There you are. And when not working in the treasury division of a bank,
0:16:42 > 0:16:44what you like doing? What you do at weekends?
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Well, we try to take the opportunity to travel
0:16:47 > 0:16:48around Europe while we're here.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51So, hang on, the minute work stops, you get out of England?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- Is that what you're saying? - Basically!
0:16:54 > 0:16:57No, but we try to see as much of the UK as possible as well.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Excellent. What's your favourite part of the UK so far?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Well, we were just up in the Scottish Highlands this weekend.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04It was a lovely, lovely place.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07The pride of the UK, I would say.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Anyway, Liya, there you are on 5, it doesn't matter what you score,
0:17:09 > 0:17:11let's have another low score from you.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Since there's no risk with me taking a punt this time,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I'm going to go with Sheffield Wednesday.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Sheffield Wednesday, says Liya.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21No red line for you, you're already through.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31Look at that, 11!
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Very well done indeed. Taking your total up to 16, which, by the way,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37is our lowest total of the whole round.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- Hats off to you.- Very good work from all our Australians there,
0:17:40 > 0:17:41very impressive stuff.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Now, there are some pointless answers here.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I will go through the one-pointers first.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47I know people will have had a go at home.
0:17:47 > 0:17:501 point for Oldham Athletic, Cambridge United,
0:17:50 > 0:17:53for Fleetwood Town or for Rotherham United.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Two points for Northampton Town, Dagenham & Redbridge,
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Colchester United, Crewe Alexandra, Doncaster Rovers,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Wycombe Wanderers and Middlesbrough.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04But let's take a look at these pointless answers.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Mansfield Town, a pointless answer.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Milton Keynes Dons, Newport County.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Well done if you said any of those.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Shrewsbury Town, Southend United, Wigan Athletic,
0:18:12 > 0:18:13the biggest club up there.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15It doesn't look like it's got 13 letters, though,
0:18:15 > 0:18:16does it, Wigan Athletic?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Let's take a look at the top three answers.
0:18:18 > 0:18:2129 for Tottenham Hotspur,
0:18:21 > 0:18:2344 for Manchester City
0:18:23 > 0:18:26and Manchester United, 61.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- Still at the top!- Still at the top. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Well, at the end of our first round,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33I'm afraid the pair we have to say goodbye to are our lovely returning
0:18:33 > 0:18:37pair, Claire and Louise, from the head-to-head, in fact, last time.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40And this time, it's Round One. I'm so sorry. Football has done for you.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42I'm sorry about Torquay United.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- I am, too.- I'm sorry. I don't know what to say.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46Come and visit us in Totnes.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49It's been great having you on, thank you so much for playing.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Claire and Louise!
0:18:54 > 0:18:57But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04And, so, look, three pairs remain.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Well, well done to our near podium there, Anthony and Liya,
0:19:11 > 0:19:12two great answers from you.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15But particular hats off to you, Joe, well done.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Lovely low score of 1 there with Hartlepool.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Our category for Round Two today is Famous People.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Famous people. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29who's going to go second? And whoever's going first,
0:19:29 > 0:19:30please step up to the podium.
0:19:34 > 0:19:40OK, and the question concerns famous people with animal names.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Now, that's fun. Animal names.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Richard?- On each board we're going to show you six clues to people
0:19:45 > 0:19:47whose first name or surname is that of an animal.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50It's going to be 12 in all to have a go at at home, so very best of luck.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Thanks very much indeed.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54OK, so, we're looking for the names of these people suggested by these
0:19:54 > 0:19:56clues, and here they are.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21I'll read those all one last time.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48There we are. Liya.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Hi. OK, so,
0:20:50 > 0:20:54I think I'm going to go for the fourth one down,
0:20:54 > 0:20:57the actress who starred in the Transformer movies and This Is 40,
0:20:57 > 0:20:59and say Megan Fox.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Megan Fox, says Liya, Megan Fox.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Let's see if that's right, and let's see how many of our 100 people went with it.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08It's right.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Well done. That's a lovely low score, Liya, very well done indeed.
0:21:17 > 0:21:1912 for Megan Fox.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Yes, she also won the Razzie Award
0:21:20 > 0:21:24for worst supporting actress for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Ah, it's a film I haven't seen.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Have you not? Oh, you must!
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Oh, I must. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Now, then, Catherine.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34What would you like to go for?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37I think I'll have to go for the Englishman
0:21:37 > 0:21:41who circumnavigated the globe, and that's Sir Francis Drake.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42Sir Francis Drake, says Catherine.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people knew it.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51It's right. 12 is our only score at this point.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Sir Francis Drake.
0:21:52 > 0:21:5337.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01He was knighted on board the Golden Hind in Deptford.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- That's quite cool, isn't it? - Knighted at Deptford.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- Knighted at Deptford.- On the poop deck.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- Yeah, exactly!- I don't know if it was the poop deck.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10They didn't have to go to a palace or anything.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11- That's nice.- Yeah.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14It's quite classy. It's like when you get knighted,
0:22:14 > 0:22:15it would be like the Queen coming here.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17- Wow.- In between rounds.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Just coming up from behind a column. - That would be good.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22We wouldn't tell you.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24I'd be so excited. During the first round, I'd be like...
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Just checking, see if the monarch is there.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29I'd see the tip of her crown and go, she's there!
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- She's there.- Fantastic.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Thanks very much, Richard.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Joe, this board is all yours.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Well, unsurprisingly, at the risk of great embarrassment,
0:22:38 > 0:22:42I'm going to take the cricket one and say Allan Lamb.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44There we are. Joe goes for Allan Lamb.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Well, Joe had the low score last time.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Where's Allan Lamb going to take Joe this time?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Down it goes. 12 is our low score, you've passed it, look at that.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58There we are. Once again, Joe, once again.
0:22:58 > 0:22:598.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Let's fill in these gaps, shall we?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05The biggest scorer, Lady of the Lamp.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- Florence Nightingale. - Florence Nightingale.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- 70 points.- Down the bottom there, do you know the actress?
0:23:10 > 0:23:11- Claire Goose.- Oh, yes.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Claire Goose. She would have scored you 9 points.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16And the best answer, the child actress, is Raven-Symone.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18And that would have scored you 1 point.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Very well done if you said that. - Wonderful, thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22We're halfway through the round.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Let's take a look at those scores. Joe once again with the low score,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27the late low score at the end of that pass.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Then up to 12 where we find Liya and Anthony, then 37,
0:23:29 > 0:23:30St John and Catherine.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Catherine, I thought Francis Drake deserved a lower score, frankly,
0:23:33 > 0:23:36but there we are, you are the high-scorers at this stage, so St John,
0:23:36 > 0:23:37you know what you have to do.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38- Yes.- Good luck with that.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40We're going to come back down the line now.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:45 > 0:23:48OK, let's put six more clues up on the board, and here they are.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Six more people with animal names.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16I shall read those all one last time.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Now, Parag, we come to you first.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Nice low score from Joe takes a lot of the pressure off you there.
0:24:43 > 0:24:4628 or less is your target.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49I honestly don't know any of this board, to be honest.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51- Not a single one?- Er...
0:24:51 > 0:24:56No. I can maybe do a punt at one or two.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57I...
0:24:58 > 0:25:00I'm going to go for the top one, the inventor of the revolver,
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Ryan Eagle or something like that.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- I don't know.- When you say I'm going to have a punt,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10what you meant was I'm literally going to throw some letters together
0:25:10 > 0:25:11and see if they make names...
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Ryan Eagle.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16OK. Ryan Eagle.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17There is your red line.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Joe, all that hard work...
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Um, Ryan Eagle. Well, let's see what happens.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29No.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Doesn't fly, I'm afraid, Parag.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35100 points, I'm afraid, for Ryan Eagle, taking your total up to 108.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Cool name, though, Ryan Eagle.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- That's a good name, yeah.- Isn't it?
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Ryan Eagle. There we are, St John,
0:25:39 > 0:25:41that has taken quite a lot of pressure off you.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- A little bit, yes.- As our erstwhile high-scorers.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47There's about four on the board I do know.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52I think the lowest one there that I know will be the striker who played
0:25:52 > 0:25:55for Wolverhampton Wanderers, which is Steve Bull.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56Steve Bull, says St John.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Let's see if that's right.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Here's your red line, lovely and high, 70 or less gets you through.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Let's see how many of our 100 said Steve Bull.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07It's right.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Gets you through to the head-to-head, St John.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13Look at that, 12.
0:26:15 > 0:26:1849 is your total.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20So hold on, St John has said Wolverhampton Wanderers
0:26:20 > 0:26:23and Steve Bull, that has been your Pointless career so far,
0:26:23 > 0:26:24that's amazing!
0:26:24 > 0:26:28It's like a dream for certain people from the Black Country, that is.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Incredible player, Steve Bull, once scored over 50 goals in a season.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33I thought you were going to say in a match.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- I was going to say, wow! - In one match, yeah!
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Scored on his debut for England as well against Scotland.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Fabulous. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Now, Anthony. There you are on 12, the high-scorers on 108,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45which means 95 or less gets you through.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Now, is that a pained expression on your face, or are you happy?
0:26:48 > 0:26:50I think I know just one on this board.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57I think the late-night talk-show host is Jay Leno.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Jay Leno, Jay Leno.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01There we are, there's your red line.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Get below that with Jay Leno, you're through to the next round.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05How many people said Jay Leno?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09It's right and you're through! Very well done.
0:27:14 > 0:27:159.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Taking your total up to 21, once again the lowest scorers,
0:27:20 > 0:27:21Anthony and Liya.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Well played, Anthony. I was looking at that age is thinking, well,
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- it's not David Letterman, it's not Jay Leno...- I know!
0:27:26 > 0:27:28And of course, jay, the bird.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30So very well done for spotting it.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- Now, the architect of St Paul's Cathedral is...- Christopher Wren.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Christopher Wren. 55.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Now we will forgive all the Australians for this bottom one,
0:27:38 > 0:27:41the weatherman, this is one of the most famous things that happened
0:27:41 > 0:27:44in Britain, I have to say, it should be part of the citizenship test, really!
0:27:44 > 0:27:47And it was Michael Fish was the name of the guy, Michael Fish,
0:27:47 > 0:27:4854 points for that.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Almost as famous as Sir Christopher Wren.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- How about that?- He has to, Michael Fish now,
0:27:53 > 0:27:56every time he appears in public, any time he's interviewed, anything,
0:27:56 > 0:27:59the first 20 minutes of any interview are spent with him going,
0:27:59 > 0:28:04- well, to be fair, though... - What he actually said was...
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Now, the inventor who successfully invented the revolver,
0:28:08 > 0:28:09not Ryan Eagle, it was Samuel Colt.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12I knew that it would be one of... Of course it was going to be Colt.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Colt, 11 points for that.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15And the author of those two books?
0:28:15 > 0:28:17The lovely Tony Hawks.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Tony Hawks, yeah. And that's the best answer there, six points.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21Brilliant, thank you very much indeed.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Well, we are at the end of our second round, and I'm sorry to say,
0:28:24 > 0:28:28Joe and Parag, you got off to such flying start there.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Parag, did some of those ring a bell?
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Yeah, I think I had a massive mind blank, so...
0:28:32 > 0:28:35It does happen. It happens on a first appearance on Pointless.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36Never on a second appearance, Parag!
0:28:36 > 0:28:39No, we will see you next time, and I'm sure you will go much,
0:28:39 > 0:28:42much further, but in the meantime, it has been lovely having you on.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Thank you so much, Parag and Joe!
0:28:46 > 0:28:49But for the remaining two pairs, it is now time for our head-to-head.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Congratulations, Anthony and Liya, St John and Catherine,
0:28:56 > 0:28:59you are now one step closer to the final and the chance to play to our
0:28:59 > 0:29:04jackpot, which currently stands at £2,000.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Well, we've reached the head-to-head, as you've probably noticed.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12This means you're allowed to confer, which I think is a wonderful thing.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13You can talk before you give your answers.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot, simple as that.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20This is a 75% Australian head-to-head.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22I can't tell you how impressive...
0:29:22 > 0:29:23I often say to people, I think, you know,
0:29:23 > 0:29:27if you didn't perhaps grow up in the UK and you were perhaps steeped in
0:29:27 > 0:29:29things like our sitcoms or, I don't know,
0:29:29 > 0:29:34our strange Michael Fish incidents, you are at a disadvantage,
0:29:34 > 0:29:36but you just completely disprove that.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Fantastic performance right across the board, and St John,
0:29:38 > 0:29:40you haven't done badly either!
0:29:40 > 0:29:43But anyway, I think this is going to be very hard fought.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Here comes your first question,
0:29:52 > 0:29:57and it concerns Soap Actors With Other Careers.
0:29:57 > 0:29:58Soap Actors With Other Careers, Richard.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01We're going to show you five pictures now of soap actors
0:30:01 > 0:30:03who were also famous for another career.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Can you identify the most obscure of these, please?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08OK, let's reveal our five soap actors, and here they come.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09We have got...
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Very UK centric, this, isn't it?
0:30:40 > 0:30:44There we are. Five soap actors with other careers.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Anthony and Liya, you have been our low scorers throughout the show
0:30:47 > 0:30:49so far, so you will go first.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53OK, so, we don't really watch any of the soaps, however,
0:30:53 > 0:30:57there is an Australian on the board, which is D,
0:30:57 > 0:30:59and we are going to go with Holly Valance.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Holly... Now, that's good.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Holly Va-LANCE. You see, we would call her Holly VAL-ance.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05Um, Holly Valance.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Now, St John and Catherine, it's over to you.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- Talk us through the board.- Talk you through the board.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Well, we think A is Jason Donovan.
0:31:13 > 0:31:20B I know is a singer from either Westlife or the other Irish boyband
0:31:20 > 0:31:21whose name has escaped me.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24C is...
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Denise van Outen.
0:31:26 > 0:31:27And we don't know E,
0:31:27 > 0:31:30so I think we're going to go for C, Denise van Outen.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32OK, C, Denise van Outen.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34So we have Holly Valance and Denise van Outen.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Anthony and Liya said Holly Valance, let's see that's right,
0:31:37 > 0:31:39let's see how many of our 100 people went with that.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44There we are, very well done, Holly Valance it is.
0:31:47 > 0:31:4927.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53St John and Catherine, meanwhile,
0:31:53 > 0:31:56have gone for Denise van Outen for C.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:32:05 > 0:32:0655.
0:32:08 > 0:32:1055, very well done. Anthony and Liya, that means after one question,
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- you're up 1-0.- Yeah, when you said there's an Australian on the board,
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Jason Donovan at home was going, oh, it's me, finally!
0:32:16 > 0:32:18He'd have been gutted.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Jason Donovan a big scorer, though, huge in both countries,
0:32:21 > 0:32:2356 points for Jason.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24- He's a lovely fella.- Isn't he?
0:32:24 > 0:32:26B, you're quite right, from Boyzone,
0:32:26 > 0:32:28the name of the band which you conveniently forgot.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30It's because they're not from Wolverhampton!
0:32:30 > 0:32:32That's what it is. That's exactly what it is, yes.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35And he's Keith Duffy, 16 points.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39And the last one.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42- Lisa Faulkner.- Lisa Faulkner of course is now a chef,
0:32:42 > 0:32:44and would have scored you 9 points.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47There we are, thank you very much indeed.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49So, here comes your second question.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51St John and Catherine, you get to answer at first,
0:32:51 > 0:32:53but you have to win it to stay in the game.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57Best of luck. Our second question today is all about
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Native British Trees. Native British Trees.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Yeah, we're going to show you the names of five native British trees now,
0:33:03 > 0:33:05but we have removed alternate letters.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Can you fill in those gaps, please?
0:33:07 > 0:33:11OK, so, let's reveal our five trees with bits missing,
0:33:11 > 0:33:12and here they are.
0:33:12 > 0:33:13We have got...
0:33:24 > 0:33:25I shall read all of those again.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37There we are. St John and Catherine will go first.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40I don't know the other one.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Hawthorn. Silver birch, Hazel.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47I think with what's on the board, we're going to go for the top one,
0:33:47 > 0:33:48which we think is hawthorn.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Hawthorn. Hawthorn, say St John and Catherine.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Now, then, Anthony and Liya.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57The second one I think is silver birch.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59The third one, hazel.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03The last two, I think something oak?
0:34:03 > 0:34:04And something pine.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06But... Silver birch?
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- Silver birch.- I think we'll go with silver birch.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13OK, silver birch. So we have hawthorn and we have silver birch.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16In the order they were given, St John and Catherine went for hawthorn,
0:34:16 > 0:34:19let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21It is hawthorn.
0:34:24 > 0:34:2552.
0:34:28 > 0:34:3152. Now, Anthony and Liya meanwhile have gone for silver birch.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said silver birch.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39It's right.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40Is it going to beat 52?
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Yes, it is! Look at that, very well done indeed, 47 for silver birch,
0:34:43 > 0:34:46which means, Anthony and Liya, after only two questions,
0:34:46 > 0:34:49you're straight through to the final 2-0.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- Very well done.- Yeah, very well played. Sorry it's so UK-centric.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54For example, that bottom one, it you really, really would have had to,
0:34:54 > 0:34:57for example, gone to the Scottish Highlands recently to know that one.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00That is a Scots pine, of course.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03And that would have scored 11 points.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Hazel, very, very big scorer, what else could that be
0:35:06 > 0:35:07with those letters?
0:35:07 > 0:35:09- 97!- 97 points.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12And this last one, do you know this one?
0:35:12 > 0:35:15It's hard, isn't it, because there isn't even any British words
0:35:15 > 0:35:18that fit that first thing. It's a sessile oak.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Sessile oak. Very well done if you said that, it's a pointless answer.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:25 > 0:35:27I'm afraid it's St John and Catherine.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Well, it's good news for us.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32It means we get to see again for another show, which is great,
0:35:32 > 0:35:34but a very strong performance, lots to be proud of there.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37We'll see you next time, and I'm sure you'll go even further.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41But in the meantime, thanks very much for playing, St John and Catherine.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45But for Anthony and Liya, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53Congratulations, Anthony and Liya, you've seen off all the competition,
0:35:53 > 0:35:55and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,000.
0:36:08 > 0:36:09There we are.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Well, I've maintained the whole way through that Pointless slightly owed
0:36:14 > 0:36:17you one, because you went out on a limb last time on our Shakespeare
0:36:17 > 0:36:19round with an impressive answer, Taming Of The Shrew.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22So, yes, second round then, 2-0 in the head-to-head this time.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25I just think that is just, it's all pointing,
0:36:25 > 0:36:28it's all part of the Pointless algorithm, I think,
0:36:28 > 0:36:30towards some sort of win here. I think.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32I don't know. But what would help that happen?
0:36:32 > 0:36:35What sort of subjects would you like to see come up on the board?
0:36:35 > 0:36:36- Geography.- Geography, definitely.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37Anything Australian!
0:36:37 > 0:36:41If we can go for the Australian politicians round.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- Oh, yeah?- Harry Potter would be great.- OK, very good.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Well, listen, as always, you get to choose your category from the four
0:36:47 > 0:36:49we put up on the board, so let's hope there's something up there
0:36:49 > 0:36:52you quite like the look of. Today's selection looks like this.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55We have got Royal Families,
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Witchcraft And Wizardry,
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Grammy Award-winning Actor-singers
0:37:02 > 0:37:04and Truman.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06We've got to go Witchcraft And Wizardry.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08We're going to go, no, not Truman. Not Grammy Award-winning...
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Witchcraft And Wizardry? All right.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14- It could be anything.- It could be Salem witch trials, but...
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- Witchcraft And Wizardry. - Witchcraft And Wizardry it is.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19- Richard?- Well, it's going to be three different things.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Let's have some tension as to whether we got three questions about
0:37:22 > 0:37:24witchcraft and wizardry without Harry Potter.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26We'll soon find out.
0:37:26 > 0:37:27We are looking, according to IMDB,
0:37:27 > 0:37:31any cast member of the film Witches Of Eastwick.
0:37:31 > 0:37:36We are looking for the name of any teacher who taught at Hogwarts
0:37:36 > 0:37:38during Harry Potter's time there, please.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42Or we are looking for, this is much better for you guys,
0:37:42 > 0:37:45any UK top 40 single by the band Wizzard.

0:37:49 > 0:37:52or Wizzard UK top 40 singles, very best of luck.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55There we are. OK, now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come
0:37:55 > 0:37:58up with three answers, and all you need to win the jackpot is for just
0:37:58 > 0:37:59one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- Are you ready?- Yes!- Yes.
0:38:01 > 0:38:02Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04There they are. Your time starts now.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06- All right.- OK, so...- Flitwick.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Flitwick they are all going to know.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12- OK.- So, how about in the seventh book when the Death-Eaters came?
0:38:12 > 0:38:14So Alec Carrow?
0:38:14 > 0:38:18- They've got to be good.- Alec Carrow, I don't know, he had a twin.
0:38:18 > 0:38:19- Madam Hooch?- Madam Hooch, yes!
0:38:19 > 0:38:21- Madam Hooch.- Oh, no, Madam Hooch wasn't a teacher.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24She was the... Or was that Madam Pomfrey?
0:38:24 > 0:38:26- No, she was the broomstick one.- She was the broomstick.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28OK. Hooch, Alec Carrow.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32- Trelawney?- Professor Trelawney? Yeah, she was the divination.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Um...
0:38:34 > 0:38:35- Um...- Who else?- No, I like your...
0:38:35 > 0:38:36Gilderoy Lockhart?
0:38:36 > 0:38:38- Oh, yeah, OK.- They're going to know,
0:38:38 > 0:38:40- he was played by Kenneth Branagh.- Umbridge?
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- Everyone hated Umbridge.- Carrow.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44- Can we think of any others?- Any Death-Eaters?
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Any other Death-Eaters that were teachers?
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Who were the ones who took the Longbottoms out?
0:38:50 > 0:38:52I don't know.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54- Oh...- Um...- Ten seconds left.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56OK, so, Carrow, Alec Carrow.
0:38:56 > 0:38:57What about old teachers?
0:38:57 > 0:38:58- Sort of like...- Slughorn?
0:38:58 > 0:39:02- Professor Slughorn?- Alec Carrow, Professor Slughorn, Madam Hooch?
0:39:02 > 0:39:03Madam Hooch, OK.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06- OK.- Oh, that was such fun to watch!
0:39:06 > 0:39:08I wish that minute could have gone on longer.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Um, good work.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12I mean, that was great. Let's have your three answers.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14I think I know which category you're answering.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Yes, all in the Harry Potter teachers.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- Yes.- OK.- So, we're going with Professor Slughorn.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22- Professor Slughorn.- Madam Hooch.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25- Madam Hooch.- And Alec Carrow.
0:39:25 > 0:39:26- Alec Carrow.- And Alec Carrow.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Of the three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:29 > 0:39:31- I think Alec Carrow.- Alec Carrow goes last.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- Slughorn?- Professor Slughorn, maybe. - Professor Slughorn goes first.
0:39:36 > 0:39:37And Madam Hooch in the middle.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40OK, well, let's put the answers are up on the board in that order,
0:39:40 > 0:39:43and here they are. We've got Professor Slughorn,
0:39:43 > 0:39:45we've got Madam Hooch and we've got Alec Carrow.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Well, very, very best of luck.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Three good answers there, such fun watching you trying to decide
0:39:50 > 0:39:52which answers you were going to submit.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Now, let's just imagine one of those answers might be pointless,
0:39:55 > 0:39:57and you were to win that jackpot of £2,000.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59What would you do with it?
0:39:59 > 0:40:00Anthony, you first.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03I think a bit more travel around Europe.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06We want to go on a cycling trip may be through Germany,
0:40:06 > 0:40:08so maybe go towards that.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Very good. Liya, anything you particularly want to add to that?
0:40:11 > 0:40:14The same, but I'd love to go and see the northern lights.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Ah, yes, worth doing.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18While you're here. Well, very, very best of luck.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22- Thank you.- £2,000 potentially up for grabs there,
0:40:22 > 0:40:24three good answers on the board.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27In all three cases, we were looking for teachers at Hogwarts,
0:40:27 > 0:40:29any teacher from Harry Potter.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Your first answer was Professor Slughorn.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33You thought this was probably your least likely to be pointless,
0:40:33 > 0:40:35but only one of them has to be pointless, remember,
0:40:35 > 0:40:38for you to win the jackpot. Let us find out for £2,000 how many people
0:40:38 > 0:40:41said Professor Slughorn. Is it pointless?
0:40:44 > 0:40:46It's right.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Now, then, if Professor Slughorn takes us all the way down to zero,
0:40:49 > 0:40:51you will walk away with £2,000,
0:40:51 > 0:40:53off to see the northern lights and cycle around Germany.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Down it goes into single figures, still going down, still going down,
0:40:56 > 0:40:58you've got there, very well done!
0:40:59 > 0:41:00Brilliant.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Superb.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04That's just brilliant. Well done, you.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Well, congratulations, Professor Slughorn was a pointless answer,
0:41:11 > 0:41:14which means you do go home with today's jackpot of £2,000,
0:41:14 > 0:41:16very well done.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Anthony and Liya, richly deserved.
0:41:20 > 0:41:21That turned out nicely, didn't it?
0:41:21 > 0:41:25People are desperate for Harry Potter questions, you always ask it, lovely when it turns up.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Congratulations, it fell very nicely for you.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Madam Hooch would have scored you one point.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Now, Alec, or Alecto, Carrow was another pointless answer,
0:41:32 > 0:41:33so very well done.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Some big names amongst those pointless answers.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43I know lots of people at home would have been filling in those Harry Potter teachers.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47You'll hear them all in a moment, but we will start, though, with the Witches Of Eastwick.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Everybody was a pointless answer that apart from Cher,
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer and Susan Sarandon.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55So if you said anyone else in that film, you got a pointless answer.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Now, these teachers, the Harry Potter teachers.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Mad-Eye Moody was a pointless answer.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Horace Slughorn. Dolores Umbridge who you mentioned.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04Gilderoy Lockhart you mentioned as well was a pointless answer.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08Other pointless answers, Amycus Carrow, also a pointless answer.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Charity Burbage, Septima Vector.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12Silvanus Kettleburn.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15I'll go through the order in which the most famous teachers.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18OK, so the one who scored the most was Severus Snape.
0:42:18 > 0:42:19Then Dumbledore.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Then McGonagall. Then Hagrid.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Then Flitwick. Then Sprout.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Then Trelawney, Quirrell, Grubbly-Plank,
0:42:26 > 0:42:29and then one point for Lupin, Hooch and Binns.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Those were all the answers there.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Now, we'll move on to Wizzard singles.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36I can't believe you didn't go for any of these!
0:42:36 > 0:42:41Are You Ready To Rock? Rock'n'Roll Winter and This Is The Story Of My Love (Baby).
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Very well done if you are playing a different game to the rest of
0:42:43 > 0:42:45us and you went for one of those.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- Terrific stuff.- Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51Well, thanks once again to our winning players, Anthony and Liya,
0:42:51 > 0:42:53who go away with today's jackpot of £2,000.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Very well done indeed.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01Join us next time, when we will be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
