0:00:18 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the game where you are always aiming for the lowest score.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Hi, my name is Manoj. I'm from Birmingham,
0:00:37 > 0:00:40and this is my best mate, Rakesh, and he's from Leicester.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Joe. This is my housemate, James,
0:00:43 > 0:00:45and we're both students from the University of Bristol.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Alice.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49This is Julie, my mum, and we're from Tunbridge Wells.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51And finally, couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Martin. This is my wife, Mel.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54We're from Honeybourne in Worcestershire.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56And these are today's contestants.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58APPLAUSE
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Thanks very much to all of you, a very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show
0:01:03 > 0:01:04as it goes along.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Here to make himself heard,
0:01:08 > 0:01:11although the loud-hailer is probably overkill,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard!
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- APPLAUSE - Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Good afternoon.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- Good afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Did you hear where Mel and Martin were from?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- Honeybourne. - Honeybourne in Worcestershire.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27That might be the nicest name we've ever had on the show, do you think?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- Yes!- Is that the nicest named place in Britain?- I think so.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31It's rather lovely, isn't it?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Honeybourne.- Aah. - Oh, I can see it now.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- I bet it's dappled, don't you think? - Oh, it's dappled, course it is.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Honeysuckle grows in abundance there.- Everywhere.- Yeah.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41And there's people on the streets, riding little bikes
0:01:41 > 0:01:44with bread in the baskets in the front going, "Morning!"
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- "Morning, everybody."- There are children with hoops and sticks.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Yeah, absolutely.- Aah.- Oh.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- It must be wonderful in Honeybourne. - Honeybourne, yeah.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Aah.- Yeah.- There it is.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Now, two returning pairs from the show,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57both of whom did rather well last time.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Joe and James, who got through to our head-to-head
0:01:59 > 0:02:00so are going to be tough to beat,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02and Rakesh and Manoj from our first podium there,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04who got through to Round Two.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06So it's going to be a tough show, I think.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Fun questions, we've got people here from Honeybourne...
0:02:09 > 0:02:10- you know, what more do you want? - Come on.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- That's tea time, isn't it? - Let's do it.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Thank you very much, Richard.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Now, Becky and John didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:15 > 0:02:19so we add another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off...
0:02:19 > 0:02:20£2,000.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22There we are. APPLAUSE
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35OK, now the pair with the highest score at the end of each round,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37remember, will be eliminated.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39So, just keep those scores low, whatever you do.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41No conferring until we get to the head-to-head.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Significant Others.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Significant Others.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52who's going to go second,
0:02:52 > 0:02:55and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:02 > 0:03:06..Time Magazine's most influential marriages of all time.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Most influential marriages of all time. Richard?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Yeah, Time Magazine published a list
0:03:10 > 0:03:13of the 25 most significant or influential marriages of all time.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15On each board, we're going to give you seven clues
0:03:15 > 0:03:17to one of the spouses mentioned in that list.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at home.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Very best of luck.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24OK, so we're looking for the spouses in these influential marriages
0:03:24 > 0:03:26described by these clues.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28And here is our first board of seven.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- There we go. Rakesh, welcome back. - Thank you.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Now, remind us what you do, Rakesh.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I'm self-employed, I run my own online toy shop.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28- An online toy shop?- That's right.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Aah. You see the nice thing about an online toy shop,
0:04:30 > 0:04:31you don't have any limits
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- about how many schoolchildren can come in at once.- Exactly.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- But it's more collectable toys I sell.- It is, that's right.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- I remember you saying last time. - Yeah.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- So, these are science fiction...? - Science fiction related merchandise,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43related to TV programmes, and films,
0:04:43 > 0:04:46action figures, prop replicas, that type of thing.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49These are the sort of toys that people obsess about?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Yeah.- Is that a nice sort of customer to have, I wonder?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- The perfect customer to have. - Oh, is it?- Yeah.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57And your hobbies, do they include the science fiction...?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Well, I'm a bit of a collector myself.- I see...
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Just the odd few bits of sci-fi memorabilia,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04but I do have a life outside work.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07I do like my football.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08- Excellent!- I like my tennis.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I'm a keen follower of Liverpool Football Club.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12I've seen them play quite a few times at Anfield,
0:05:12 > 0:05:14and also at away grounds.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16I've been to Wimbledon quite a few times for the tennis,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19also the ATP tournaments in London.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- So, you know, I'm a keen follower of both sports, yeah.- Very good.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Now, Rakesh, famous spouses.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27OK, it's not too bad a board.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I think I know three of those.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32But I think a couple of them might be high.
0:05:32 > 0:05:38I'm going to go for the wife of Jay Z, headlined On The Run Tour.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- I'm going to say, Beyonce. - Beyonce, says Rakesh.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Let's see how many of our 100 people agree with Rakesh. Beyonce.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47It's right.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- 43. Not bad!- Good for that. - APPLAUSE
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Gets us off to a good start, anyway, Rakesh. Well done.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Yeah, before they were married, she was called Fi-once.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59LAUGHTER
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Worth over 1 billion between the two of them.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Probably fairly evenly split.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06I would think fairly evenly split, yeah, which is probably quite nice.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09We're worth about 1 billion between the two of us, aren't we, Richard?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12We certainly are, between the two of us, in that I'm worth about £12,000.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15LAUGHTER
0:06:15 > 0:06:16Aah.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I'm worth a fraction of what you're worth!
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Anyway, thank you very much indeed.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Now, James, welcome back.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Remind us what you do in Bristol?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I'm a geology student in my final year.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30What's the most exciting rock you've come across in your time at Bristol?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32The most elusive rock is the glaucophane schist.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- Glaucophane schist?- Yeah.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37I'm saying that right? None of that makes any sense to me whatsoever.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Sometimes there's a syllable of something that makes sense.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- Yeah.- "Glauco" sounds medical.- Mmm. - "Phane."- Yeah.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- "Schist."- I don't know if there's any meaning behind it,
0:06:45 > 0:06:47but, yeah, it's basically like a metamorphic rock.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49He's talking in riddles, I've no idea what he's saying.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51But anyway, that's wonderful.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53It's what all of the houses in Honeybourne are made out of.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Glaucophane schist.- An elusive rock! - Yeah.- Aah, Honeybourne.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Sorry, we'll come to Honeybourne in a moment.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02James, your interests outside rocks?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04We've got a pool table in the house, it's a house of five of us, so...
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- We've heard a lot about the pool table.- Yeah, I like to play pool.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09OK, who is currently the best pool player in the house?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Well, that is a big subject of debate,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13cos we frequently have tournaments,
0:07:13 > 0:07:15but I would have to say that I'm the best at the moment.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18But I think my housemates might have another opinion on the matter.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Quick question, did you rent the pool table?
0:07:20 > 0:07:21- Oh, no, no.- Was it in the house?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Yeah, it was just in the house. Yeah, it came with the house.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- How is the felt? - It just got resurfaced, for us.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Oh good, I'm glad to hear that!
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Good, anyway, James, enough of this.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Spouses, famous spouses.- Er...
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Yes, I know I should probably know quite a few of them,
0:07:33 > 0:07:34but I don't really know that many.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36So I'm going for the husband of Hillary Clinton,
0:07:36 > 0:07:3842nd US president, Bill Clinton.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Bill Clinton, says James.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Still going for the low-hanging fruit, I would say, on that board.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Yeah.- But let's see how many of our 100 people said Bill Clinton.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50It's right. ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Look at that! 89 for Bill Clinton.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- That's a punishingly high score there.- Yeah.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00But you know what? At least you're good at pool.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01They got married in their living room.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- That's rather nice, isn't it? - That's nice.- Yeah.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Thanks very much indeed.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Now, Alice, welcome to the show, good to have you here.- Hi.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- What do you do, Alice? - Well, I work freelance.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I'm an actress and voice-over artist,
0:08:12 > 0:08:17and a rock climbing instructor, which is, yeah, a bit different.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Yes, rock climbing is different.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Actor and voice-over artist, I just hear "competition" there.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25That's all I'm hearing. I'm thinking, "Oh, oh!"
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Where will we hear you voicing?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31I mainly do corporate voice-over, so in-house training videos,
0:08:31 > 0:08:32e-learning courses, that sort of thing.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35So you turn up and you're given a great sheaf paper...?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Hundreds of pages.- ..and you sit down, six hours later you come out?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- That's pretty much my day, yeah.- Oh.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41- I enjoy it, yeah.- Yeah.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43And where do you do that, in the main?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I work with a couple of different studios in London, and Portsmouth,
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- various different places, yeah. - Very good.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50And then obviously, rock climbing,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52the obvious sister vocation to voicing over.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- Yeah, they gel well! - Yes, so you teach rock climbing?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- I do, yes.- And what kind of rock climbing?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Is there other kinds of rock climbing?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01There are various types of rock climbing. I'm mainly a boulderer...
0:09:01 > 0:09:03A boulderer, yes.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05So that's low-level climbing without rope.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08So you do shorter problems, but you're not attached to anything.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Less far to fall? - Yes, but you will fall to the ground
0:09:11 > 0:09:14rather than sitting in a comfy harness, so more risk, sometimes.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- Yeah, terra firma, though.- Yeah.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- I mean, there's something reassuring about that!- Yeah.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Once you've landed, you've landed. - Yeah, there you are.- Exactly.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Now, Alice.- Yes.- Spouses of repute.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Yes. Um...
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Knew the two that had already been said.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Know the top one, definitely,
0:09:29 > 0:09:33but think it will score quite highly, so...
0:09:33 > 0:09:37I'm going to have a stab at husband of Marie Curie,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40and hope that's Pierre Curie.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Pierre Curie is earning you a nod from Rakesh,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45but to be honest, he was nodding before you'd even said Pierre!
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Anyway, Pierre, OK, let's see. Pierre Curie, is that right?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Let's hear how many of our 100 people said it.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54It's right. Very well done indeed, Alice.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00There you are, you see! 13.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02APPLAUSE
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Do you know what?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I was saying it was only the low-hanging fruit
0:10:05 > 0:10:07people have gone for, and it took a boulderer
0:10:07 > 0:10:10to be bold enough to get that nice low score there.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- Very well done. 13. - Absolutely, yeah.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Married in 1895, no news on where.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- Now, Mel, a warm welcome to Pointless.- Hello.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Good to have you here.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22Mel, what do you do?
0:10:22 > 0:10:27I'm an HR manager, I work for a marketing agency in Cheltenham.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29In Cheltenham, and how long have you done that for?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- Er, two and a half years.- OK.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33It's a burgeoning centre, Cheltenham.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- All sorts of exciting things going on there.- Yeah.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37What sort of marketing are you doing?
0:10:37 > 0:10:42Mainly non-for-profit clients, some financial ones as well.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44So, lots of charities and things like that.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Excellent, Mel, and your interests outside of that?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Lots of things, really. Playing netball.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Well, I did play netball - we're currently expecting our first child,
0:10:52 > 0:10:54so I had to give that up a few months ago.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Generally into sort of sport.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Upcycling furniture.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Excellent. All this will go when you have a baby!- Yep!
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Yeah. Well, congratulations, that's very exciting for you.- Thank you.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06It's going to be heaven. Now, Mel, this board is all yours.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Talk us through it, and fill in all those blanks,
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- cos they're very easy. - I'm not too sure if I can, actually!
0:11:12 > 0:11:14I obviously know the top one.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18The other ones... I could probably take a stab at,
0:11:18 > 0:11:22but I think just to get some points on the board, I'll for the top one,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- which is Romeo.- Romeo, says Mel.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Very interesting...
0:11:27 > 0:11:28It's Romeo versus Bill Clinton -
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I will be interested to see who comes out the better in this one.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Let's see how many of our 100 people said Romeo...
0:11:36 > 0:11:38It's right, look at that!
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Beating Bill Clinton into a cocked hat - 79.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42APPLAUSE
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Yeah, as you say, scores fewer points than Bill Clinton.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Bill Clinton, I guess, is going to be happy with that.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Yeah.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53One of the most romantic stories of the ages, Bill and Hillary.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Star-spangled lovers!
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Yeah, they certainly are.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Now, let's fill in these gaps.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02The wife of Scott Fitzgerald is Zelda Fitzgerald,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04and as the best answer on the board, six points.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Husband of Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09That would have scored you 28. Another big scorer down the bottom.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10Wife of Juan Peron...
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- Eva.- Eva Peron. Yeah, Evita. 59 points for that.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Thanks very much, we're halfway through the round,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19let's take a little catch up of the scores at this point.
0:12:19 > 0:12:2113 is the best score of that pass, well done, Alice.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Alice and Julie, I would say,
0:12:23 > 0:12:25looking strong contenders for Round Two at this point.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Then, up to 43, Rakesh and Manoj.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Then, up to 79, Mel and Martin.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Then up to 89, James and Joe.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Joe, low score,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35what we need from you. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43OK, we're going to put seven more clues up on the board,
0:12:43 > 0:12:44and here they come.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46We've got...
0:13:12 > 0:13:14I'm going to read those all one last time...
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Martin, welcome to Pointless.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Good to have you here. What do you do, Martin?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I'm an engineer, and I specify in scientific equipment.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45So, mainly in labs.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Aah - huge science park just right in the middle of Honeybourne.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Honeybourne, yeah.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- Mm, Honeybourne.- Honeybourne.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56There we are. Now, Martin - and your interests?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59I'm a big Wolves fan. So, yeah, I follow Wolverhampton Warriors.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01I love the bigger wolf, I have to say.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04See, I like a small wolf. See, that's where we're all different.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05I'm a huge fan of small wolves.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I'm with you there, Martin.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10And I'm a big fan of American sport, so I like my ice hockey, baseball,
0:14:10 > 0:14:12American football, so I watch them quite a lot.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Good, this could play very neatly into your hands
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- if that kind of a round came up on the show.- That would be lovely!
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Wouldn't that be nice? Now, Martin, you're on 79.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20- I know.- You're not quite the highest scorers,
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- but to you're nine behind them.- Yes.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24If you wanted not to trouble the high-scorers,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26you could score nine or less.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28What are you going to go for on this board?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Um... I don't know many on there, but I'm going to play it safe.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35I'm going to go with husband of Yoko Ono, John Lennon.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37OK, John Lennon.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Here is your red line.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Trouble is, you have to get below that red line with John Lennon.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42See if you can...
0:14:45 > 0:14:46It's right...
0:14:46 > 0:14:4985. 85 for John Lennon. APPLAUSE
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Taking your total up to 164.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Again, bigger scorer than Romeo,
0:14:54 > 0:14:56slightly smaller scorer than Bill Clinton.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- He's still got it.- You know what I would do if I lived in Honeybourne?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- Tell me.- Cover it in chocolate.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Mmm, chocolate covered Honeybourne. - Chocolate Honeybourne.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- That'd be lovely, wouldn't it?- Oh! HE SMACKS HIS LIPS
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Mm. Well done, Martin and Mel, for Honeybourne.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Is it nice, Honeybourne? We're assuming it is.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14It's very nice, yes, on the edge of the Cotswolds.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Ah! Honey-coloured stone.
0:15:16 > 0:15:17- Yep.- Wonderful.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- Now, Julie, welcome to Pointless. - Hello.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Great to have you here.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- Tell us what you do.- I'm a volunteer for the National Trust
0:15:23 > 0:15:25at Knole, in Sevenoaks.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27That's nice - how many days a week are you there?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29I'm there quite a lot, because I do quite a lot of admin for them
0:15:29 > 0:15:31and I give guided tours and I room steward.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- So it's as much as I want, but... - That's nice.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34- A bit of variety, as well.- Yeah.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- Cos if you were just room stewarding or just guided touring...- Yes.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Now, if you're doing a guided tour...
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- Mm-hm.- ..do you find you get into a sort of pattern,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44you're trammelled into the same thing?
0:15:44 > 0:15:45Yeah, you have to be very, very careful,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47because otherwise it's a bit boring,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50because you say the same thing, day in, day out, so you have to...
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Look who you're talking to.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- Now, Julie, you're through to the next round.- Oh!
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- It does not matter what you score. - Oh, good.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- You can score anything you like and you're through.- OK.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Have some fun with your answer, if you like.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Maybe try and go for a bit of a risky one.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06This board is so much better for me.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I'm so lucky that Alice went first.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12So, I will go for the wife of Henry II,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15the mother of Richard the Lionheart, Eleanor of Aquitaine.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Eleanor of Aquitaine, says Julie.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20That's a good answer. No red line for you, you're already through.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Eleanor of Aquitaine.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26It's right.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29Down it goes.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Down it goes, to eight, very well done.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34APPLAUSE
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Our only single-figure score of this round so far.
0:16:37 > 0:16:4021 is your total, our lowest total of the round.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Very well played. The ultimate power couple, those two,
0:16:42 > 0:16:44controlled most of Great Britain and France.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Thank you very much, Richard.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- Now, Joe.- Hello.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Joe, you've been handed a bit of a lifeline there by Martin,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54but remind us what you do at Bristol.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I study environmental geoscience.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Absolutely, how good is your pool?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Er... Yeah, it's decent.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I think I'm pretty good, but, I mean...
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- That's what they're all saying. - I know!
0:17:04 > 0:17:05That's what they're all saying.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Joe, your hobbies outside the pool.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10I like my music, so I try to go to as many gigs as I can.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Excellent - Bristol, a fantastic base for that.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13- Yeah, exactly.- Lots of good gigs.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15What was the last great gig you went to?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17I actually went to Xavier Rudd,
0:17:17 > 0:17:19which was kind of nice acoustic-y music, that was good.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Best one I've been to recently was probably Fat Freddy's Drop.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Excellent, this is just noise to me, but, yeah, that...
0:17:27 > 0:17:30I mean, we had Glauco von...
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- Bismarck.- ..Bismarck. Yeah. LAUGHTER
0:17:32 > 0:17:34And Fat Face Drop.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35- Fat Freddy's Drop. - Fat Frillies Drop.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- Freddy's.- Fat Freddy.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Oh, that makes sense.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Oh, no, it doesn't.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Fat Freddy's Drop. Joe, so, our board of famous spouses.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46What would you like to go for?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Yeah, it's not very good for me, to be honest.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50I know a few wives of Henry VIII,
0:17:50 > 0:17:52so I might have a punt at one of them.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Er...
0:17:54 > 0:17:59I think I'll go wife of Henry VIII and go Catherine Parr.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Catherine Parr, says Joe.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04There is your red line, Joe.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Get below that with Catherine Parr
0:18:05 > 0:18:07and you are through to the next round.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08It has to be right, though.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Let's see how many of our 100 people said it, if it is right.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Bad luck, Joe, I'm sorry.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17That is an incorrect answer.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20It scores you 100 points and takes your total up to 189.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Yeah, not Catherine Parr, I'm afraid.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the pass.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26OK, thank you very much indeed.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Manoj, nice to have you back.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- Thank you. Nice to be back. - Remind us what you do.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I'm a senior surveyor for a property management company
0:18:32 > 0:18:35in West Yorkshire. And, well...
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- And you like it.- I love it.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Is that commercial property, or...?
0:18:38 > 0:18:39No, mainly residential.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I do some commercial, but not too much.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- It's a bit nicer, residential, isn't it?- It is.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45You're looking at existing property,
0:18:45 > 0:18:47or are you surveying for future properties, development?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- No, existing.- Right.- Managing and maintaining all the properties
0:18:50 > 0:18:52my clients have throughout the country, basically.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54That's nice, so how far afield do you travel?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I travel from the Midlands,
0:18:56 > 0:18:59I go down to London and then I also go from the Midlands
0:18:59 > 0:19:02up to West Yorkshire, out to the Welsh borders, and also East Anglia.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- That's fantastic. - It's a massive field, it's lovely.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Yeah, very good. Now, you're on 43,
0:19:07 > 0:19:09which means it doesn't matter what you score.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10This board is all yours.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Talk us through it, if you can.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Let's see what you can fill in. - I'd have preferred the last one,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16and obviously Julie has given the best answer there is there,
0:19:16 > 0:19:19which was hopefully going to be mine, but never mind.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Er, one of the Henry VIII wives, I was contemplating,
0:19:23 > 0:19:28but I think it's probably going to be the highest score on the board.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33The one that I would go for will be wife of John F Kennedy,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36which I believe is Jacqueline Bouvier.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38OK, Jacqueline Bouvier, says Manoj. Let's see if that's right.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40No red line for you, you're already through.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Jacqueline Bouvier.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Absolutely right.
0:19:49 > 0:19:5266 is what it scores you, takes your total up to 109.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54APPLAUSE
0:19:54 > 0:19:55Yeah, Jacqueline Bouvier,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Jacqueline Kennedy, Jacqueline Onassis, very good answer.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Became so much easier to become a shipping magnate
0:20:00 > 0:20:02after they started making ships out of metal.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- Oh, so much.- When they were wooden,
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- the shipping "magnet" was almost impossible.- Yeah.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13Er, now, the husband of Marie Antoinette was Louis XVI,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15it would have scored you nine points.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16- The wife of Bill Gates...- Melinda.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19It is Melinda Gates, would have scored you 15 points.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22The husband of Jiang Qing was Chairman Mao.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26- Mao Tse-tung.- Yeah, Mao Tse-tung. 25 points for that -
0:20:26 > 0:20:28and finally, this wife of Henry VIII...
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- It has to be Anne Boleyn. - It is Anne Boleyn, yeah.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33That would have scored 42.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Catherine Parr, of course, survived Henry VIII.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Yeah, there we are.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Thank you very much indeed, Richard,
0:20:39 > 0:20:40so we are at the end of our first round.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43The pair we are saying goodbye to, with their high score of 189,
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Joe and James. I'm sorry, it's you.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Back to your pool table you go, back to Bristol.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49It's been great having you here, thanks so much for playing.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Joe and James.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51APPLAUSE
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Right, for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02And look at that -
0:21:02 > 0:21:05suddenly we're down to three pairs, just like magic.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07At the end of this round we'll have to say goodbye
0:21:07 > 0:21:08to another pair, of course.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Rakesh and Manoj, our only returning pair now.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Julie, very well done, our lowest individual score.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Julie and Alice, our lowest combined score,
0:21:15 > 0:21:17so, yes, clearly the pair to watch out for.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Very best of luck to all three pairs.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23Our category for Round Two this afternoon is Board Games.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Board Games. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:21:25 > 0:21:27who's going to go second,
0:21:27 > 0:21:30and whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Here it comes.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:21:38 > 0:21:41to name as many spaces on the Monopoly board
0:21:41 > 0:21:44that contain the letter S as they could.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Spaces on the Monopoly board that contain the letter S, Richard.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Yeah, we're looking for the names of any squares
0:21:48 > 0:21:50on that classic London Monopoly board
0:21:50 > 0:21:52that contain the letter S, please -
0:21:52 > 0:21:54the names of any of those squares.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56OK, thank you very much.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58So, Manoj.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02I'm going to go for Euston Square.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Euston Square, says Manoj, Euston Square.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06OK, let's see if that's right.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Let's see how many of our 100 people said Euston Square.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18I'm afraid Euston Square, not on the board.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Scores you 100 points, sorry, Manoj.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Yeah, sorry, Manoj - got two esses in it, but not on the board.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Thanks very much, Richard.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Alice.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29So we're looking for any spaces on the Monopoly board
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- containing an S.- Yes, OK. Um...
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I feel like I should know loads.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39I think I'm just going to go for a famous place in London
0:22:39 > 0:22:41and hope it's on the board.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Is Mum making a face?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- No.- You know what? - I would say not yet.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50Yeah, give it a second. Erm, Russell Square.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Russell Square.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Ooh, did you hear the... INTAKE OF BREATH
0:22:53 > 0:22:54..from the audience, there?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Here comes Russell Square.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Let's see what happens.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I'm afraid another incorrect answer.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Ooh - Manoj and Rakesh are in the game.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08But, yes, Alice, I'm afraid not Russell Square.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Do you know what I blame? I blame all these diffusion Monopoly boards.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- Different versions of it. - They now make Monopoly boards...
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- Well, you know, the Honeybourne one, for example.- Yeah.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Because there isn't one Monopoly board any more.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20You're right, there's hundreds -
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- the London one wasn't the original one, of course.- That's true.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24You see, Atlantic City was the original one, I think.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27It's interesting. So, we've had a wrong answer with two esses in it,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29and now a wrong answer with three esses in it.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- A lot of pressure on Martin. - Oh, yeah.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Thanks very much, Martin. What are you going to go for?
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Erm, I'm going to go for a non-place name.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37I'm going to go for Community Chest.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41A, well done.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42B, phew!
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- OK, Community Chest.- If it's right.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Oh, if it's right, yeah. Let's see. Is it right?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50How many of our 100 people said Community Chest?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55It's right. Look at that.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Oh, all of this just commanding lead you are taking on here, Martin.
0:23:58 > 0:24:0017. Very well done indeed.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02APPLAUSE
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Very nicely done, Martin.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Yeah, that's where you win second prize
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- in the beauty contest and so on. - It's always nice. Community Chest.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12It's always something good.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- Yeah, it's relaxing. - Yeah, it's relaxing.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.
0:24:17 > 0:24:2017, the best score of the pass, well done, Martin and Mel.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22I reckon you're going to be in the head-to-head.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Alice and Julie, Manoj and Rakesh,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25you're going to have to fight it out between you.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27We're going to come back down the line now.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Now, then, Mel, remember it's any space on the Monopoly board
0:24:34 > 0:24:37containing the letter S.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38OK, erm,
0:24:38 > 0:24:42I've got a couple that I kind of think are probably a bit risky
0:24:42 > 0:24:44because I'm not sure whether I've made them up or not.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49But because Martin did so well, I'm just going to say Bond Street.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Bond Street, says Mel.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Bond Street. Here is your red line.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Get below that with Bond Street, you are definitely in the head-to-head.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57How many of our 100 said Bond Street?
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Perfect.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Oh, look at that. 25. Very well done indeed.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09APPLAUSE 42 is your total.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10Very nicely played.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Bond Street. Of course, it doesn't exist, Bond Street.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14It's a Tube station but not a street.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- There's New Bond Street.- There's Bond Street and New Bond Street.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19No, it officially doesn't exist.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Really?- Yeah.- How about that?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- I didn't know that. - But it's got a Tube station.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26What, do they call it Old Bond Street, then?
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Because there's a bit...
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Well, there's Old Bond Street and there's New Bond Street,
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- but there is not Bond Street. - No Bond Street.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- What do you think about that? - I...- It's slightly in between.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- Here's what I think... - It's like when Sean Connery left
0:25:36 > 0:25:39and Roger Moore hadn't started. There was no Bond.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42There was an old Bond and there was going to be a new Bond
0:25:42 > 0:25:44but there wasn't currently a Bond.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46It's exactly like that.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- My word.- Yeah.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Thanks very much, Richard. So, Julie.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- Yes.- Julie.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Right.- Did you know that about Bond Street?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Do you know, I did, because I used to work near there!
0:26:00 > 0:26:03So...and it was very strange, there was no Bond Street.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05I used to work at the bottom of Mayfair.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07She knows everything!
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- Er, Julie.- Yes.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Now, there's no red line for you.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12There's no target.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15You just have to go as far down that column as you can.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Yes.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20I do know some but I've just no idea what will be low or not,
0:26:20 > 0:26:22so I'm going to go for...
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- The Angel, Islington. - The Angel, Islington, says Julie.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Let's see how far down the column you get.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30No red line.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Ten.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42APPLAUSE
0:26:42 > 0:26:45That's good. 110 is your total.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Another very good answer, yeah.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49The only site on the board named after a building.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50I'm guessing a pub, was it?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- Yeah.- Thanks very much.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Now, Rakesh, we have a goal for you.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54You have to score nine or less.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58OK. Monopoly's not my...my game.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00But I've got a few answers floating around in my head.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02I'm going to try for Vine Street.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Vine Street, says Rakesh.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Vine Street. Here is your red line.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Whew! Good luck. Are you going to get below that with Vine Street?
0:27:10 > 0:27:11Let's find out.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21- Oh!- 14! APPLAUSE
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Bad luck, Rakesh. That was a very good answer.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26114 is your total.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29I thought that might go a little bit lower, that one.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30Now, that's named after Vine Street.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Vine Street is named after a pub, as well,
0:27:32 > 0:27:33as lots of London streets are,
0:27:33 > 0:27:35but the actual square is named after the street.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37There's a few answers that would have seen you through,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40a few answers that would have scored you fewer than ten.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42I'll take you through them. Coventry Street would have scored five.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45You would have got four points for Bow Street
0:27:45 > 0:27:46and for Euston Road, Manoj,
0:27:46 > 0:27:48which is on the board, not Euston Square.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Three points for Just Visiting,
0:27:50 > 0:27:52three points for Marlborough Street
0:27:52 > 0:27:54and the best answer you possibly could have gone for,
0:27:54 > 0:27:55very well done if you said this at home,
0:27:55 > 0:27:58two points for Super Tax.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Super Tax.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00Thanks very much indeed.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03So, we're at the end of our second round and I'm very sorry to say,
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Rakesh and Manoj, our second and last returning pair,
0:28:07 > 0:28:09we have to say goodbye to you. It's been great having you on both shows.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Thanks for playing, but I'm sorry, this is where the road ends.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13Rakesh and Manoj, thank you.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14APPLAUSE
0:28:17 > 0:28:20But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Congratulations, Julie and Alice, Mel and Martin.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30You are now one step closer to the final
0:28:30 > 0:28:33and a chance to play for the jackpot,
0:28:33 > 0:28:35which currently stands at £2,000.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38So, well done, everyone,
0:28:38 > 0:28:39we've made it to the head-to-head,
0:28:39 > 0:28:43which means you are now allowed to confer before you give your answers,
0:28:43 > 0:28:44and the first player to win two questions
0:28:44 > 0:28:46will be playing for the jackpot.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:54 > 0:28:55Here is your first question.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58And it concerns adventurers.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Adventurers, Richard.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02We're going to show you five pictures now of TV adventurers.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Can you identify the most obscure?
0:29:04 > 0:29:05OK, thanks very much.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Let's reveal our five adventurers - and here they come.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43There we go. Five adventurers.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47Julie and Alice, you have been our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52- So...- Which ones do you know? - I know B, C... B and D.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56C was on Strictly. Do you remember...
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- B is Bear Grylls...- Yeah.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- A is Kate Humble. - Oh, that one, that one.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06I think we're going to go for A, and hopefully, that's Kate Humble.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Kate Humble, say Julie and Alice.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Kate Humble. Now, Mel and Martin, that board's all yours.
0:30:12 > 0:30:13Talk us through it if you can.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15OK.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17That's Bear Grylls.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21We know B is Bear Grylls, but we think that might be quite high.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23We feel like we should know D.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27I'm not sure. For some reason I think his name is Toby something...
0:30:27 > 0:30:28- No.- ..but I'm not - we're not sure.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32I think we're going to have to go for B, Bear Grylls.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Bear Grylls. So we have Kate Humble and we have Bear Grylls.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36Julie and Alice said Kate Humble for A.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Let's see if that's right and let's see how many of our 100 said it.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43It's right.
0:30:47 > 0:30:4930.
0:30:49 > 0:30:50APPLAUSE
0:30:51 > 0:30:5330 for Kate Humble.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Mel and Martin, meanwhile, have gone for Bear Grylls for B.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Let's see if that's right
0:30:57 > 0:30:59and that's see how many of our 100 people said Bear Grylls.
0:31:06 > 0:31:0752. APPLAUSE
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Very well done indeed, Julie and Alice.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Yeah, I think Kate Humble would be a very good mayor of Honeybourne.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16- Don't you think?- I think she would.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18She'd be perfect. She would be perfect.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Let's fill in this bottom row, shall we?
0:31:20 > 0:31:23C presents Deadly 60 and all sorts of other things as well,
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Steve Backshall. That would have scored you six points,
0:31:26 > 0:31:28a very good answer.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29D is not a Toby.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- He's a Ben.- He is a Ben, Ben Fogle.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32Oh, yeah.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Would have scored 38.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37And E is a pointless answer, he's the Canadian adventurer,
0:31:37 > 0:31:40you see him of all sorts of Discovery type shows,
0:31:40 > 0:31:41and he's Les Stroud.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Very well done if you said that.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46So, here comes your second question.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Mel and Martin, you get to answer it first,
0:31:48 > 0:31:50but you have to win it to stay in the game, so good luck.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54It concerns, this second question of ours, Cumbria.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Cumbria, Richard.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Simply five clues, now, to facts about the County of Cumbria.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- Can you give us the most obscure answer?- Thanks very much.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Now, Mel and Martin, it's over to you.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- The only one I'm certain about is Peter Rabbit.- Yeah, I know.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Kendal Mint Cake, will it be higher?
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- It's Kendal, the top one.- OK.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Peter Rabbit, go with the Peter Rabbit one?
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Erm, we know a couple,
0:33:02 > 0:33:07it's just trying to kind of weigh out which is the safest and lowest.
0:33:07 > 0:33:12Um, I think we're going to say the creator of Peter Rabbit,
0:33:12 > 0:33:13who was Beatrix Potter.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Beatrix Potter, say Mel and Martin, Beatrix Potter.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Julie and Alice?
0:33:18 > 0:33:19Yeah, we knew that one
0:33:19 > 0:33:21and Kendal Mint Cake is Kendal Mint Cake,
0:33:21 > 0:33:24and then I think we should go with the one at the bottom,
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- which you know.- Well, no, I may, I don't know if that's right.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28It may be right, it may not be right.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29I think we have to go for it,
0:33:29 > 0:33:32just because I think Kendal Mint Cake is going to score more.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34I don't know, you don't know the comedy duo.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38I think the comedy duo I may know, but it's just a guess, so, no.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40OK, we'll go for the largest lake.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Erm, the legend, the largest lake, hopefully, is Lake Windermere.
0:33:43 > 0:33:44Lake Windermere.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47So, we have Beatrix Potter and we have Windermere.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48Mel and Martin went for Beatrix Potter.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Let's see if that's right
0:33:50 > 0:33:52and let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:33:54 > 0:33:55It is right.
0:33:57 > 0:33:5963. APPLAUSE
0:34:00 > 0:34:0263, for Beatrix Potter.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Now, Julie and Alice have gone for Lake Windermere.
0:34:05 > 0:34:06Let's see if that's right
0:34:06 > 0:34:08and let's see how many of our 100 people said Windermere.
0:34:10 > 0:34:11It's right.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14And it wins you the point. Very well done indeed.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16APPLAUSE 54 for that,
0:34:16 > 0:34:18which means Julie and Alice, after only two questions,
0:34:18 > 0:34:20you are straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22They are unstoppable, aren't they, the two of them?
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- Yeah.- Very well played. Let's fill in the top three.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27The town in Cumbria, I think you all know, is Kendal.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30It was a very big scorer, though. 81 points for that.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Now, Ulverston, you know this one?
0:34:32 > 0:34:35- It's where Stan Laurel was born. - It is, exactly. Laurel and Hardy.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36So it's Laurel and Hardy, yeah.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38That would have scored 30.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39And Postman Pat's village?
0:34:39 > 0:34:41- Is called Greendale. - Greendale, yeah.
0:34:41 > 0:34:4318 points for that, best answer on the board.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- Well done if you said that. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Mel and Martin, it is you.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51But it's good news, really,
0:34:51 > 0:34:53because it means we get to see you again next time.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55We look forward to that very much indeed.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Mel and Martin, thanks very much for playing.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58Thank you. APPLAUSE
0:34:59 > 0:35:02But for Julie and Alice it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Congratulations, Julie and Alice.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10You have seen off all the competition
0:35:10 > 0:35:12- and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.- Yay!
0:35:18 > 0:35:20You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:20 > 0:35:25At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,000.
0:35:29 > 0:35:30Well, very well done indeed.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33I mean, that sort of trajectory we've seen from you
0:35:33 > 0:35:34suggests that you are going to do very well,
0:35:34 > 0:35:37and go all the way and take that jackpot home,
0:35:37 > 0:35:39because you were our low scorers in Round One.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42We'll draw a veil over Russell Square in Round Two,
0:35:42 > 0:35:45but then, 2-0 in the head-to-head,
0:35:45 > 0:35:47that's a fantastic progress through the show.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Anything you'd love to see come up in this last round?
0:35:50 > 0:35:52I honestly don't know, to be honest.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55I mean, history for you would be good.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Literature, we might have a good go at.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01- Yes.- So, you know, books, history.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03- A bit of football, even, possibly. - OK, well, as always,
0:36:03 > 0:36:06you get to choose your category from the four we put up on the board,
0:36:06 > 0:36:08and today's selection looks like this.
0:36:08 > 0:36:09We've got...
0:36:13 > 0:36:14Ooh.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17If it was Premiership managers,
0:36:17 > 0:36:19- it would be all right, but nothing else.- But it might be...
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- Seans for you. - Acting Seans would be...
0:36:21 > 0:36:22No, because I think that's quite broad.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Short Stories, we don't know what that would be.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27- Latin American Singers would be you. - No, no it wouldn't.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Either Football Managers or Short Stories.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34- I'm intrigued by Short Stories.- OK.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36- Just because it's such a vague... - Yeah, OK.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37Let's go Short Stories.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Short Stories, Richard.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42OK, very best of luck. Three very different authors for you here.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44We're looking for the title of any of the short stories
0:36:44 > 0:36:47in the Penguin Complete Short Fiction of Oscar Wilde.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51Any of the adult short stories in Roald Dahl's Complete Short stories,
0:36:51 > 0:36:54again the Penguin volume - just the adult ones -
0:36:54 > 0:36:56or we are looking for any of the tales
0:36:56 > 0:37:00in the Penguin Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe, please.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04So, the short stories of Oscar Wilde, Roald Dahl or Edgar Allan Poe
0:37:04 > 0:37:06in those volumes, please.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- Very, very best of luck. - Thanks very much.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:11 > 0:37:14and to win that jackpot, only one of those answers needs to be pointless.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- Are you ready?- Yes.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock, and there they are.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20- Your time starts now. - Do you know anything?
0:37:20 > 0:37:24I was kind of hoping for, like, Chekhov, but no. Um...
0:37:24 > 0:37:26- I've read...- Oscar Wilde, only The Ballad Of Reading Gaol.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28OK, let's say that one.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Short story... I've read some of the Roald Dahl ones,
0:37:30 > 0:37:32and there's one about a tattoo on the back, do you remember it?
0:37:32 > 0:37:34What's it called, The Painted something?
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- There's one about somebody killing somebody with a joint of lamb.- Oh!
0:37:37 > 0:37:39- That's so good, that one. - There's one that's quite -
0:37:39 > 0:37:40- the title's a bit rude... - Well, it won't...
0:37:40 > 0:37:43I don't know if it's the collection or the short story.
0:37:43 > 0:37:44Short stories by Edgar Allan Poe.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- I don't know.- The Tell-Tale Heart. - The Raven. The Ravens, that one.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49- I don't know. - Quoth The Raven, maybe?
0:37:49 > 0:37:51OK, Tell-Tale Heart definitely is, I think.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- Oscar Wilde - what did you say...? - The Ballad Of Reading Gaol.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57And it's actually a poem, probably, rather than short story.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- Agh!- Actually. He did one about an inspector.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01I can't think what it's called.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03It'll be the Roald Dahl ones, can you not...?
0:38:03 > 0:38:06I've read the leg of lamb one and I've read the one about a tattoo,
0:38:06 > 0:38:08and I... It's...
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- Ten seconds left.- Mm...- Oh, OK.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13We're just going to have to guess.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14We're going to have to make some up.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16No, it's called The Painted something, I'm sure.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Think of that and we'll do a couple more.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23OK, I'm afraid that's your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:23 > 0:38:24So, from the Oscar Wilde one.
0:38:24 > 0:38:25The Ballad Of Reading Gaol.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27OK, The Ballad Of Reading Gaol.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31Erm, let's go The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- The Tell-Tale Heart.- I'm pretty sure that's going to be a high scorer.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37- Short stories by...- And The Raven, for Edgar Allan Poe.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- OK.- And The Raven.- The Raven. - OK, of those three,
0:38:40 > 0:38:43which is your best shot at a pointless answer, do you think?
0:38:43 > 0:38:44Oh, I think The Raven.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47The Raven goes last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:47 > 0:38:48Tell-Tale... Ballad Of Reading Gaol.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- Oh.- Ballad Of Reading Gaol, and The Tell-Tale Heart in the middle.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order,
0:38:54 > 0:38:57and here they are. We have got The Ballad Of Reading Gaol.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59We have got The Tell-Tale Heart and we've got The Raven.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00Well, very best of luck.
0:39:00 > 0:39:01Three answers on the board.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05Let's hope one of those is pointless and will win that jackpot for you.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07£2,000 - not a bad sum to be taking home.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Julie, what would you do with that?
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Erm, we've got, one of... one of my sons lives in Cape Town,
0:39:12 > 0:39:15so it would be nice to go and visit him.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17- Very good. Alice? - I - well, I need a new car.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20I've had the same car since I was 17
0:39:20 > 0:39:22and I think I'd quite like a new one.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24- So it would go towards that.- OK.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26- It's on its last legs. - Very best of luck.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Let's hope one of these answers does it for you.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Your first answer was The Ballad Of Reading Gaol.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34In this case, we were looking for any short story by Oscar Wilde.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37You thought this was probably your least likely to be pointless.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Obviously, it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42So, for £2,000, let's see if anyone said The Ballad Of Reading Gaol.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Oh!
0:39:46 > 0:39:49I'm afraid, for the reason I think you said, Julie,
0:39:49 > 0:39:50that is an incorrect answer.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Not a pointless answer, therefore,
0:39:52 > 0:39:54which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Your next answer - in fact, your next two answers
0:39:56 > 0:39:58are both Edgar Allan Poe short stories.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01The Tell-Tale Heart, you said.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02We are looking for a pointless answer.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05For £2,000, let's see how many of our 100 people
0:40:05 > 0:40:06said The Tell-Tale Heart.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11It's right.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14It's right. Now, your first answer was The Ballad Of Reading Gaol,
0:40:14 > 0:40:15which was incorrect -
0:40:15 > 0:40:18but The Tell-Tale Heart absolutely not incorrect by any stretch.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Down it goes, single figures, down it goes.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23- Tell-Tale Heart...- Oh!
0:40:23 > 0:40:24APPLAUSE
0:40:30 > 0:40:34Wow. From 100 to one in just one question.
0:40:34 > 0:40:35Not bad at all.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38Let's see if you can do it with your next answer.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Your third and final answer has to be pointless
0:40:40 > 0:40:42for you to win the jackpot. It is The Raven.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Once again, we were looking for Edgar Allan Poe short stories.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46It has to be pointless.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48How many of our 100 people said The Raven?
0:40:48 > 0:40:50No, it's wrong.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54Oh, bad luck!
0:40:55 > 0:40:58APPLAUSE An incorrect answer, I'm afraid.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Also scores you 100 points.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Wow. Well, you came as close as you can get with that second answer.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06That was a fantastic answer, The Tell-Tale Heart,
0:41:06 > 0:41:08but I'm afraid one person out of our 100 got that,
0:41:08 > 0:41:09so I'm afraid you didn't manage to find
0:41:09 > 0:41:11that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:11 > 0:41:13which means you don't win today's jackpot of £2,000.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15That will roll over onto the next show -
0:41:15 > 0:41:18but, boy, what a performance on the show.
0:41:18 > 0:41:19You have done so well.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Fabulous low score after fabulous low score.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24I'm sorry you didn't find something slightly more exciting
0:41:24 > 0:41:27on the board in this last round, but that's how it is, I'm afraid,
0:41:27 > 0:41:28it always is slightly specific -
0:41:28 > 0:41:31but you both get a Pointless trophy to take home so very well done.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33- Thank you very much. - Thank you so much.
0:41:33 > 0:41:34APPLAUSE
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Yeah, as you said, The Ballad Of Reading Gaol
0:41:39 > 0:41:42and The Raven both poems, I'm afraid, so both incorrect answers.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44I used to love those Roald Dahl -
0:41:44 > 0:41:46I had both of the books of short stories.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48I was literally, like you, we know the stories,
0:41:48 > 0:41:51it's trying to remember the names. The one with a tattoo was Skin,
0:41:51 > 0:41:52- that's called...- Yeah! So good.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54- ..and that was a pointless answer if you had said it.- Oh!
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Lamb To The Slaughter is the famous one which would have scored four.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- Oh, OK.- So, not too bad, don't worry about that.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Now, let's start, shall we, with Oscar Wilde?
0:42:05 > 0:42:07The Canterville Ghost is a pointless answer.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11In fact, everything apart from The Happy Prince,
0:42:11 > 0:42:13The Selfish Giant and The Young King.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15All the other short stories in that volume were pointless answers.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Well done if you got one. Roald Dahl, now.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Again, loads and loads of pointless answers here.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22We see them all in Tales Of The Unexpected.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Again, everything there apart from Lamb To The Slaughter and Taste,
0:42:29 > 0:42:30everything else was a pointless answer.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32And Edgar Allen Poe.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Never Bet The Devil Your Head - that is very, very good advice, children.
0:42:41 > 0:42:42All of those pointless answers.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:44 > 0:42:45Thanks very much, Richard -
0:42:45 > 0:42:47and thanks very much, Julie and Alice.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Very sadly, they didn't win today's jackpot
0:42:49 > 0:42:52which means it rolls over onto the next show
0:42:52 > 0:42:54when we will be playing for £3,000.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55APPLAUSE
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
