0:00:16 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show that makes big winners out of the lowest scorers.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36- And couple number one.- Hi, I'm Mark, this is my girlfriend, Katie,
0:00:36 > 0:00:39and we're from Chelmsford in Essex.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Steph,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44this is Charlie, and we're students from the University of Birmingham.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46- Couple number three.- Hi.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48My name is Derek, this is Kyle, and we're from Bolton.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50And finally, couple number four.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Mel, this is my husband Martin,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55and we're from Honeybourne in Worcestershire.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Thanks very much, all of you. We'll get to chat to each you
0:01:01 > 0:01:03throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Here to put his foot down, then his other foot, shuffle, hop-step,
0:01:08 > 0:01:11pirouette, and then finish with the splits -
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Hi, everybody. Afternoon.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Lovely to see you. - Lovely to see you, too.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- It's been a long time, been too long.- It... Hey.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26- Been too long.- It has.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28We should do some sort of morning show as well,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31so that we don't leave it so long between seeing each other.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33I mean, we should do that. A morning Pointless.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Or a completely different show.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- Like guest-host Homes Under The Hammer or something.- Oh!
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- They don't have enough hosts on that already(!)- No.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- LAUGHTER - But if Martin and Lucy want to take the summer off...
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- We could stand in, do the morning. - Dion... Dion would still be there.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- That would be nice, wouldn't it?- It would be fun.- Maybe do Bargain Hunt.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- Yeah. Wouldn't that be fun? - That would be a load of fun.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- That would be. - You could be in Doctors.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57LAUGHTER
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- But let's do Pointless now.- OK.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Mel and Martin, back from the last show,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03got through to the head-to-head.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Back, of course, from the most beautifully named place in Britain -
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Honeybourne.- Honeybourne.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Since the last show, I've sold our detective drama set in Honeybourne
0:02:11 > 0:02:14with you as the local cop and Kate Humble as the mayor...
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Lovely.- ..who's always getting on your back
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- about the Honeybourne crime statistics.- Yeah.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Too low. LAUGHTER
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Too low. Far too low.- Too low. - She needs to justify her salary.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- She's got the DA on her back.- Yeah.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- That's true.- You know, which is the local Duck Authority...
0:02:29 > 0:02:30LAUGHTER
0:02:30 > 0:02:33..who are furious, because a duck has gone missing.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Thank you very much, Richard.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Now, listen to this, Julie and Alice didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41which means we add another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot
0:02:41 > 0:02:46starts off at what is actually a bit of a recent record - £3,000.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47There we are.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58OK, remember this.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00The pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:03:00 > 0:03:03will be eliminated so your job is to make sure you are not that pair.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Best of luck. Our first category this afternoon is...
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Words. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:11 > 0:03:12who's going to go second?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21OK. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:03:27 > 0:03:29..as they could.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30E-A-T. Richard?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32We are looking for any word that has its own entry
0:03:32 > 0:03:35in the British and World English section of oxforddictionaries.com,
0:03:35 > 0:03:36please, that ends E-A-T.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39As always, no proper nouns, no hyphenated words,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- anything like that. Also we won't accept the word "eat".- Hm.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44But as I... I always have to say that,
0:03:44 > 0:03:47but it would be a terrible, terrible answer, I think.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50I'll have a little predictor of the word... This is quite hard.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- It is quite hard. Yeah. - I'll have a little think about
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- what you're going to say. - I'll keep thinking.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Yep, thank you very much indeed. Now, Katie, welcome to Pointless.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- Hello.- Lovely to have you here. Katie, what do you do?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- I am a support worker.- Very good.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- How long have you been doing that for?- Just over a year now.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Enjoying it? - Yeah, love it. It's great.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- Very rewarding, I should think. - Very, yeah.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11And I get to go to the cinema a lot.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- Oh, what about that?!- Always good. - Win-win.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16And what else do you like getting up to, Katie?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20I like to go with Mark and look at castles and aquariums and...
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- just do nice weekend stuff. - Lovely. Very nice.- Yeah.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Now, Katie... Words. Always tough going first when it's a Words round.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- Yes.- Always tough.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32I haven't thought of one yet.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Take a little moment to yourself. - Well, I've got one.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Oh, take a moment back. Give a moment.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- I'm just trying to work out the spelling.- OK.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41And I think I'm going to go for caveat.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45FAINT MURMUR Oh, that is a murmur of pure appreciation.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47That's what that is. Caveat, says Katie. Let's see if it's right.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Let's see how many of our 100 people said caveat.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- Oh, yes.- Yes.
0:04:59 > 0:05:002!
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Katie, that is fabulous!
0:05:02 > 0:05:04What a great start to the round
0:05:04 > 0:05:05and a great start to the show!
0:05:05 > 0:05:07That's a terrific start.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08So tough on that first podium.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11It's the most expensive pet food in the world. It's caviar for cats.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12LAUGHTER
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Thanks very much, Richard.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Charlie, welcome to the show. Great to have you here. From Birmingham?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- Yes.- What do you do, Charlie, at Birmingham?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21I am a student at the University of Birmingham.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- And what are you studying?- I am studying micro-palaeontology.- Wow.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Oh, he's my favourite of all the Pythons!
0:05:27 > 0:05:29LAUGHTER
0:05:29 > 0:05:31What sort of things are you studying?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34I'm basically studying, like, mini-fossils, micro-fossils,
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- so I spend my life looking down a microscope.- Micro-fossils.- Yeah.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Wow. So what sort of things are you looking for on micro-fossils?
0:05:40 > 0:05:44So we look at like really, like, millions-of-years-old rocks
0:05:44 > 0:05:47and try and... I, like, try and reconstruct past environments.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Just working where they've come from, I suppose?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Yeah, so we can find out, like, what...
0:05:51 > 0:05:54We can, like, look at the species that we find and, like, work out
0:05:54 > 0:05:58what temperature ranges they liked and work out how hot or cold it was,
0:05:58 > 0:05:59- things like that.- I see.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02So this must be quite a relatively recent science, then, I suppose?
0:06:02 > 0:06:03- Relatively, yeah.- Yeah.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Fascinating. So, Charlie...
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Words ending in E-A-T.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12I was struggling at first, but then I've got a vaguely good one, I hope,
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- so I'm going to go with overheat. - Overheat, says Charlie.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16Let's see if that's right.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Let's see how many of our 100 people said overheat.
0:06:30 > 0:06:314.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33APPLAUSE
0:06:33 > 0:06:344 for overheat.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Very well done.- Well played. Good round so far.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Overheat means to overheat.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40LAUGHTER
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Thank you very much. Now, Kyle, welcome. Here from Bolton?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- That's right.- Kyle, what keeps you busy in Bolton?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Um, not much. I'm actually...
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I work in Warrington, so...
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Ah, what keeps you busy in Warrington?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- The Royal Mail.- Ah. It...
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Actually in the Post Office or is it...?- It's in the mail centre.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Right, the mail centre there. And what do you like doing
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- when you're not doing that? - Music.- Music.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- I'm a musician, yes.- Are you?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- What do you play? - I play the euphonium.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Oh, right.- Yes.- Euphonium is... - You didn't expect that, did you?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- I wasn't really expecting that. - People normally say guitar, piano...
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Yeah! Euphonium... - Euphonium - that's a big call.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- It is.- I bet you know about it, though.- Yeah.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- A little bit smaller than a tuba. - That's right.- That's...the thing.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Do you play...? Are you in a band, then?- I am. I am in a brass band.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Lovely.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Right, Kyle... Words ending E-A-T.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36OK. I had overheat
0:07:36 > 0:07:40but I will have a go at underheat.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Underheat! You see?
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Underheat, says Kyle.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Let's see how many of our 100 people said underheat.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52AUDIENCE GROANS
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Oh, bad luck, Kyle. I'm sorry.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Underheat not quite such a word.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- I think that's unlucky.- It is. - Do you?- Yeah.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I thought that was going to be there, Kyle...
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Especially after overheat.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- Yeah.- It's like they haven't even given it any consideration
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- that might be a thing. - LAUGHTER
0:08:08 > 0:08:09No.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Now then, Martin.- Hello. - Martin, welcome back.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Our only returning pair from last time.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Ah, that was a show, wasn't it?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19You guys, you missed a great show!
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Ah! Martin, remind us what you do.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24I'm an engineer, and I work mainly...
0:08:24 > 0:08:27mainly work in labs working on scientific equipment.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29So you make the scientific equipment or...?
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- No, we maintain and service and... - Repair?- Repair, yeah.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34So, what particular kind?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Is it any particular field of science
0:08:36 > 0:08:38that this equipment works on?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- It's the pharmaceutical industry. - Right.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42There's a few places in the food industry as well
0:08:42 > 0:08:45so anywhere that's got a lab, we'll try and get in there and...
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- So you get in there and maintain? - Yep, yep.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48I see. OK. Now, Martin...
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Um, I've been trying to think of some obscure ones,
0:08:51 > 0:08:55but I'm just going to play it safe now and just go with cheat.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Cheat, says Martin. Cheat. Let's see if it is right.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Let's see how many of our 100 people said cheat.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04It's right.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Well, 100 was our high score, and you've already passed that.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Then we get down to the fours and the twos.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11You come down to 20 for cheat.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13APPLAUSE Not bad at all.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18To act dishonestly, what no-one ever does on Pointless,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- but everyone always does on Pointless Celebrities.- Exactly.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Do you remember, we once had Keith Harris and Orville?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Orville didn't cheat.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- LAUGHTER - Yeah, he was very well behaved.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- He was very well behaved. - I think that's the only one.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Well, 2, Katie - very well done. 2, the best score of the pass.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Then up to 4. Charlie, well done, you.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Charlie and Steph looking pretty strong there on 4.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Then up to 20, Martin and Mel.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Then up to 100, I'm afraid,
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Kyle and Derek. So, Derek...
0:09:46 > 0:09:47XANDER SIGHS
0:09:47 > 0:09:49..we need a low score from you.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Good luck. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Now, then, Mel, welcome back to Pointless. Remind us what you do.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04I am a HR manager working for a marketing agency in Cheltenham.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06That's right. We discovered last time
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- that you are going to be having a baby later this year.- Yes.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- Many congratulations.- Thank you.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Have you found out what sort of baby it's going to be?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- We have, actually, last week. So we're having a baby boy.- Lovely.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- Very nice. Have you got all the kit yet?- No. Really nothing.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22It all starts to take shape, I think, once the kit's arrived.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Until then, it's a sort of slightly nebulous idea...- Mm-hm.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27..having a baby. And then - a-ha! - it becomes real.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Oh, how exciting! You've got all that ahead of you.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Wonderful. Now, there you are on 20.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- 79 or less keeps you in the game for sure.- Yeah.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38I think because of that, I'm probably going to play it safe
0:10:38 > 0:10:40and I'll say repeat.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Repeat. Repeat, says Mel.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Here comes your red line. If you can get below that red line there
0:10:45 > 0:10:47with repeat, you're through to the next round.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Let's see how many people said repeat.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Very well done indeed.
0:10:58 > 0:10:5913. Look at that.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Very well done. 33 is your total.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Yeah. To say or do something again.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08There will be one showing of this where that's not an ironic answer
0:11:08 > 0:11:11and one showing where it is an ironic answer.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Derek.- Yeah.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- Welcome to the show.- Thank you. - Lovely to have you here.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- What do you do, Derek? - I work in local government.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- I work in environmental health. - Very good.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22So what area of environmental health is your particular...?
0:11:22 > 0:11:26I manage a couple of teams - dog warden, pest control -
0:11:26 > 0:11:29look after the environmental health database
0:11:29 > 0:11:31and anything else that comes my way.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34So quite varied, actually? Quite a lot of different stuff...
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- Yes, it's very interesting. - ..to keep you amused. Yeah.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38And what pleases you when you're not working?
0:11:38 > 0:11:42I like to paint - watercolours. Um...
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Do you go out and set yourself up on an easel?- No.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48No, I-I'm not that good. No, I normally...
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I normally get the...the Lancashire Life and find a nice landscape
0:11:51 > 0:11:54and then take a page out of that and just copy that and paint that.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55That's nice.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58It's not much of a leap from that, is it, to being out in the open air?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Or is it?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I've never tried, but... I suppose, you know, when I retire,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05I might just... If I've got enough time, I'll probably be out.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06Yeah. Very nice.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Now, Derek, you're the high-scorers. We need a low score from you.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11What are you going to go for?
0:12:11 > 0:12:15I don't think I've got anything that could match the first answer.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Um... I'll go for...
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Being an ex-military person, I'll go for retreat.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- Retreat.- Yeah.- Retreat, says Derek.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24No red line for you, as you're the high-scorers.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Let's see how many of our 100 people said retreat.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30It's right.
0:12:36 > 0:12:3715. Not bad.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38APPLAUSE
0:12:38 > 0:12:40115 is your total.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Yeah, retreat.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44That's a nicer name for repeat, actually.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Re-treat, to treat oneself again.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Yeah. Again. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Now, Steph, welcome to Pointless.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Also here from Birmingham. What are you studying?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Music.- Wonderful!
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- And are you an instrumentalist as well?- Yes, I am.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I play... It's a bit of a list, so...
0:13:00 > 0:13:04I play the violin, the clarinet, the saxophone, the piano and the flute.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Wow. What about that?!
0:13:06 > 0:13:08So, yes, the fingering...
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Saxophone and clarinet - kind of the same thing.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12But clarinet and flute, that's...
0:13:12 > 0:13:15I mean, it's basically the same, but quite a lot of variation,
0:13:15 > 0:13:16I'd have thought.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Yeah, sax and flute are actually almost the same fingering.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- Oh, are they? - Well, very similar fingering, yeah.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- So that kind of helps.- But similar must throw you, surely? Anyway...
0:13:24 > 0:13:25- Sometimes.- Sometimes.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- And do you... Are you in an orchestra?- Yes, I am.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Me and Charlie are both in the philharmonic orchestra
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- at our university.- Fantastic.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- Do you tour and things like that? - Yes.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Me and the orchestral coordinator member of staff,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41we've actually organised a tour to Amsterdam this summer.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- That'll be fun. How long are you there?- Just for a week.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- Under a week, with travelling. - Very nice indeed. What fun.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49So, there you are on 4. It doesn't matter what you score,
0:13:49 > 0:13:52you're still through to the next round - takes a bit of pressure off.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55What would you like to go for?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Seeing as we are already through,
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- I'm going to go for a slightly risky one...- Good.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03..and go for baccalaureate?
0:14:03 > 0:14:04FAINT MURMUR
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Ooh! LAUGHTER
0:14:06 > 0:14:09That murmur is exciting, isn't it?
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Baccalaureate, says Steph.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12No red line for you, you're already through.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Let's see how many people said it.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Oh!
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Ah... Well, listen, that was a good punt to take, though. Fun.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22It scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 104,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25but you're already through, so there we are.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28A nice one to go for. That's what people should do when they're through - go for a punt.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- It actually ends E-A-T-E, baccalaureate.- I wasn't sure.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- It's what a lot students do instead of their A levels.- There we are.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Thank you very much indeed.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Now, Mark, a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Good to have you here. What do you do, Mark?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43So, I work for one of the big four
0:14:43 > 0:14:45professional services firms.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- And what's the department you're in? - It's within corporate finance.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- Right.- I work within a department
0:14:50 > 0:14:53that does sort of financial publications and presentations.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- I see. And what are your hobbies, Mark?- I love playing sport.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59I play a lot of football, cricket.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I run. I ran a marathon.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04And how far in advance do you plan a marathon?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Have you got any coming up? Have you decided to do any this year?
0:15:07 > 0:15:11- Not this year, but I spent about six months training for...- Yeah.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12- ..the other one, so...- Yeah.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- I managed to get under four hours, so...- Good for you. Not bad at all.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18I've got great news, Mark.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Partly thanks to Katie's fabulous answer in the first pass
0:15:21 > 0:15:22and the high score of Derek and Kyle,
0:15:22 > 0:15:24you are through to the next round.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- So the pressure is off.- Yeah. - But have some fun with it.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29What can you come up with?
0:15:29 > 0:15:31I was going to have retreat and then repeat
0:15:31 > 0:15:35but they've both gone so I'll go for unseat.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Unseat. That's a good answer.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Let us see how many of our 100 people said unseat.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41No red line for you, as you're already through.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50Oh, it's good, Mark, look at that.
0:15:50 > 0:15:5210 for unseat. Very well done indeed,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54taking your total up to 12 -
0:15:54 > 0:15:57the lowest total, by some margin, of the round.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Great start to the round. Great finish to the round there on podium one. Very well played.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- Now, do you have an answer? - I have.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- Exeat.- Oh, exeat.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08That's not what I thought you were going to say at all.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10It's Shakespearean, right?
0:16:10 > 0:16:11It's a pointless answer.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- Oh!- Very nicely done.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14- I don't know...- Brilliant.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18What did you have for me?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21I thought you were going to say...
0:16:21 > 0:16:24"Mincemeat. No, no, sweetmeat."
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Oh, no, I should have done both of those!- Yeah, you didn't.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Mincemeat... Sweetmeat was a pointless answer.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- That's good.- There you go. So I was...- Thank you.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I knew you were going to get a pointless answer,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36just completely the wrong one.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38There's some really nice pointless answers here, actually.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Let's take a look at them, shall we?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Any hip-hop fans... Breakbeat is a pointless answer.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Browbeat as well - to browbeat somebody.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Cyberthreat. That's quite cool, isn't it?
0:16:49 > 0:16:50It's a good word.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51Deadbeat.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Escheat, which is... That's a kind of thing to do with property,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57a slightly kind of archaic property term.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Exeat...
0:16:58 > 0:17:01that a certain Alexander Armstrong said.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Floreat. Forcemeat.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- Ooh, my favourite kind. - Do you think?- Mm.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Forcemeat is the only word in the English language
0:17:08 > 0:17:10to rhyme with horse meat.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13There you go. And preheat, Kyle, is a pointless answer.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Underheat is not there at all. Preheat was a pointless answer.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Reheat would have scored you 2, as well.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19So there's some good words there.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Let's take a look at the top three answers.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Pretty much what you'd expect.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Beat, 71.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26Seat, 83.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28And meat at the top on 91.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30There we are. Thank you very much, Richard,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32so we are at the end of our first round
0:17:32 > 0:17:34and we have to say goodbye to one of our pairs.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I'm afraid, Derek and Kyle, you are that pair.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38However, we'll see you again next time
0:17:38 > 0:17:40and I am sure you'll get much further.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42In the meantime, thanks very much, Derek and Kyle!
0:17:42 > 0:17:43APPLAUSE
0:17:44 > 0:17:47But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49APPLAUSE
0:17:52 > 0:17:55And so we are down to three pairs.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Well, very well done, everybody.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59We've made it through the Words round.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Katie in particular, hats off to you for the lowest score of the round.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04That was fabulous. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Our category for Round Two today...
0:18:07 > 0:18:09is Radio. Radio.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:11 > 0:18:13who's going to go second?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Radio Personalities.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26Radio Personalities, Richard.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29On each board, we're going to show you the names of six BBC radio
0:18:29 > 0:18:33programmes and the initials of the star or presenter of that programme.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35You just need to tell us who that person is, please.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37We're also going to show the year that person first appeared on
0:18:37 > 0:18:40the show, so there's 12 in all to have a go at at home. Good luck.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Thanks very much indeed.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44OK, so we are looking for the personalities on these radio shows,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46and here is our first board of six.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48We have got...
0:19:03 > 0:19:04I'll read them again...
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Katie.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- Yeah.- Katie... Are you a radio listener?
0:19:22 > 0:19:27I am, but not any of those shows.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32So I'm going to do a guess and say Just A Minute,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Nicholas Parsons?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Surely. Nicholas Parsons.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41- Nicholas Parsons, let's just look at that date again, 1967.- '67.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- Isn't that amazing?- Nearly 50 years. - I know. Still going strong.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Nicholas Parsons, is it right? How many of our 100 people said it?
0:19:50 > 0:19:51It is right. There we are.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Not bad, 45.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57APPLAUSE
0:19:57 > 0:19:5945 for the wonderful Nicholas Parsons.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02It is extraordinary, isn't it? He's been on the show, as well.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04He's over 90, still sprightly.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- I saw him up at the Edinburgh Festival, as well...- Extraordinary.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- Sharp as a tack.- Yeah, amazing, isn't it?- Yeah, very impressive.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Er, Steph.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14- Yes.- Steph.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Erm, I think,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19I'm not 100% sure, but I think that
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Radio 1 Breakfast Show is Nick Grimshaw?
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Nick Grimshaw, says Steph.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Let's see how many of our 100 people got Nick Grimshaw.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Well, it's right.
0:20:30 > 0:20:3245 is our only score so far,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34and you've passed it. Look at that.
0:20:34 > 0:20:3628 for Nick Grimshaw.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39APPLAUSE AND INDISTINCT SPEECH
0:20:39 > 0:20:40You see, that's impressive -
0:20:40 > 0:20:45Nicholas Parsons outscoring the presenter of Radio 1 Breakfast Show.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47I mean that's...
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Not bad going, is it?- Not bad going.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53He was first spotted DJ-ing in a pub in Camden, Nicholas Parsons.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54LAUGHTER
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- Nick Grimshaw was.- In a DJ.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00In a DJ, yeah. No, that's where they found Nick Grimshaw.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- He's good, Nick Grimshaw. I like him.- He is good.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04He is good. Martin.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- Hello.- Martin, this board's all yours.- I don't know any.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- No!- No.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11I had you down as a radio listener, as I was picturing you,
0:21:11 > 0:21:15in the lab, repairing, servicing stuff,
0:21:15 > 0:21:19with your radio, immaculate, no splatters of paint on that.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- MARTIN LAUGHS - Erm...
0:21:22 > 0:21:27No, I don't know. Front Row, Kevin Logan? I don't know...
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Oh, I'm not sure Kevin Logan's right for those dates, though.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32That's the trouble. Front Row, Kevin Logan, says Martin.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Let's see if that's right,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37let's see how many of our 100 people said Kevin Logan.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43I'm afraid not Kevin Logan. That, I'm afraid, scores you 100 points.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- Sorry, Martin.- Yeah, it's a low-scorer, that one.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Do you know that one?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- Kirsty Lang.- It is Kirsty Lang.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Would've scored you two points, though.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Sports Report, this is the best answer on the board. Er...
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Er...Mark Pougatch...
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Mark Pougatch, who has done lots and lots of telly now as well.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59One point for that.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Dead Ringers, which is the impressionist show, and that is...
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- Jon Culshaw.- Jon Culshaw.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- 19 for that.- And In Our Time, Melvyn Bragg.- Melvyn Bragg.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08And that would've scored you ten.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09Thank you very much indeed.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11OK, well, let's take a look at the scores.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14We're halfway through the round. 28 the best score of the pass,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Steph, very well done indeed to you.
0:22:16 > 0:22:1845, not bad, for Katie and Mark.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20And then 100 is where we find Martin and Mel.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Now, Mel, anything could happen on the next board.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25There might be some other 100s being scored here and there,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27but we need a low score from you. Best of luck.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:33 > 0:22:36OK, let's put six more radio programmes up on the board,
0:22:36 > 0:22:39and here they are. We've got...
0:22:59 > 0:23:02I'll read those all one last time...
0:23:21 > 0:23:24There we are. Now, Mel...
0:23:24 > 0:23:27You're the high-scorers, we need a low score from you.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Yeah, that might be a bit tricky, actually.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34I don't think I've actually listened to any of those radio shows. Um...
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Let's go for The Official Chart,
0:23:36 > 0:23:39cos it's the only one I think I know, and that's Greg James.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Greg James, says Mel, for The Official Chart.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43No red line for you, as you're the highest scorers.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Let's see how many of our 100 people said Greg James.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49It's right.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Ooh, look at that. Six for Greg James.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59APPLAUSE
0:23:59 > 0:24:00106 is your total.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03You might have kept yourself in the game there, Mel.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05You've certainly done everything you could.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Yes, he's been on the show as well, hasn't he? He's a lovely fella.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11- Yeah.- I think that GJ must be the hardest initials to say.- GJ.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- It's quite hard, isn't it?- Yeah.- GJ.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15And also, you slightly doubt yourself,
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- you think you're going to say the wrong one first.- Yeah.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- Yeah. There you go. What can you do? - What can you do? Nothing.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Can't do nothing.- Nothing. Nothing to be done. Charlie.
0:24:23 > 0:24:28- 28 is your score, which means 77 or less keeps you in the game.- Yes.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31The only one I knew was Greg James.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Erm, well, I knew for certain.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36I have a name on the back of my mind for Desert Island Discs,
0:24:36 > 0:24:39I'm going to have to go with that, cos I don't know any others.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41- I'm going to say Kirsty Young? - Kirsty Young, says Charlie.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Let's see whether that's right, here is your red line,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45get below that, you're through.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48How many of our 100 people said Kirsty Young?
0:24:50 > 0:24:54It's right and you're through. Look at that, Charlie. Well done.
0:24:54 > 0:24:5544 is your total.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57APPLAUSE
0:24:57 > 0:25:0072 is your total, I should say.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- 44 was your score. - Well played, Charlie.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05If I was on Desert Island Discs, I would literally just take
0:25:05 > 0:25:07your album. I would just have all the tracks from that.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- Ah.- One after the other.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11And every time she asked me about one of them, I'd say,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14"It's because it's done by a really, really good friend of mine.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16"And he's a terrific guy,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18"his name is Alexander Armstrong and this is another of his songs."
0:25:18 > 0:25:22And then I would name one of the songs from your record. Like...
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Uh... Well, exactly. I mean, which... But which one?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- Which one would I pick?- Maybe... - What would you pick if you were me?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32LAUGHTER
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- I think, I think for you... - Yeah.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- I bet you're going to say the one I'm thinking of.- Yeah.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:25:39 > 0:25:42I would go for Londonderry Air.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Yeah, Londonderry Air I would definitely do,
0:25:44 > 0:25:47because it's about men in London and their backsides.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48I would, er... That's my favourite.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- Yeah, that's the one I would go for. - That's the one.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Thanks very much. Now, Mark...
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Mark, that board is all yours. Do you want to talk us through it?
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Erm...
0:25:59 > 0:26:03It's gone blank. I knew Mark Pougatch off the first board. But...
0:26:03 > 0:26:04MARK LAUGHS
0:26:04 > 0:26:06I can't think of one. Erm...
0:26:06 > 0:26:11- No, I'll just guess at Carole Malone for On The Hour.- Carole Malone.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Let's see that's right. Here is your red line,
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Carole Malone would have to be right to get you below it.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18Let's see if it is.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24No, I'm sorry. I'm afraid not Carole Malone.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Bad luck, that scores you 100 points, take your total up to 145.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30On The Hour, actually the best answer on the board.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33That's the show... Armando Iannucci, and introduced the world
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- to Alan Partridge and all that kind of stuff and...- Chris Morris.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Chris Morris. Would've scored you two points.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- Woman's Hour?- Jenni Murray. - Jenni Murray.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Dame Jenni Murray, I think, isn't it? 22 points.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue? - Humphrey Lyttelton.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50The wonderful Humphrey Lyttelton. 13 points for that.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- And The News Quiz? - Sandi Toksvig.- Sandi Toksvig.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Would've scored 19.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Now presented by Miles Jupp, that show.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00So, at the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home with
0:27:00 > 0:27:04their high score of 145, Mark and Katie, I'm afraid it is you.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07However, we will see you again next time, and I'm sure you'll go even further.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10But in the meantime, thanks very much for playing, Mark and Katie.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12APPLAUSE
0:27:14 > 0:27:16But for Steph and Charlie and Mel and Martin,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20APPLAUSE
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Congratulations, Mel and Martin, Steph and Charlie,
0:27:25 > 0:27:28you're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play
0:27:28 > 0:27:32for our jackpot, which currently stands at £3,000.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33APPLAUSE
0:27:35 > 0:27:37I always think it's a bit of a relief when you get to the
0:27:37 > 0:27:39head-to-head, cos from here on in, you can confer
0:27:39 > 0:27:42before you give your answers, which is very nice indeed.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44First pair in this case to win two questions will be going
0:27:44 > 0:27:47through to that final to play for the jackpot.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Well, we've had great answers from both teams.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51Mind you, we've also had Kevin Logan,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53we've also had baccalaureate,
0:27:53 > 0:27:55so we've had some incorrect answers too.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58But I think you're quite well matched and I think this will be very hard-fought.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01But best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02APPLAUSE
0:28:06 > 0:28:11Here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Walruses. LAUGHTER
0:28:13 > 0:28:14- Walruses, Richard.- Yeah.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- What else do you expect, right? - Yeah.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Five clues now, to facts, about walruses.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Give us the most obscure answer you can, please.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25OK, let's reveal our five clues, and here they come. We've got...
0:28:47 > 0:28:49I'll read those all one last time...
0:29:06 > 0:29:08There we are.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Now then, Mel and Martin, you're our low scorers.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12You will go first.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14THEY CONFER
0:29:16 > 0:29:19I think it's Yellow Submarine, but I'm not 100%.
0:29:19 > 0:29:20INDISTINCT SPEECH
0:29:24 > 0:29:28I think we'll go for the Beatles TV film is, er, Yellow Submarine.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Yellow Submarine, say Mel and Martin. Yellow Submarine.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Now, Steph and Charlie,
0:29:33 > 0:29:36that board's all yours. Do you want to talk us through it?
0:29:36 > 0:29:38- It's a toughie. - I think we only know two.
0:29:38 > 0:29:43So blubber for the subdermal fat, and tusks for the teeth.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- Which one do you want to go for? - Maybe tusks?- Yeah, OK.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- We'll go for elongated teeth, tusks.- Tusks.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52So we have Yellow Submarine and we have tusks.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Mel and Martin went for Yellow Submarine.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:30:00 > 0:30:01Ah.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06Ah. Interesting. Not Yellow Submarine, as it turns out.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Steph and Charlie have gone for tusks.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10Let's see if that's right.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13All it has to be is right for you to win the point.
0:30:15 > 0:30:16It is right.
0:30:18 > 0:30:2057. APPLAUSE
0:30:20 > 0:30:22But the key thing is it was right,
0:30:22 > 0:30:24which means after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27When you hear "Beatles film" and "walrus" and "the sea",
0:30:27 > 0:30:29you immediately think of Yellow Submarine,
0:30:29 > 0:30:31it's actually Magical Mystery Tour.
0:30:31 > 0:30:3412 points for that if you said that at home. The US soul singer?
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- Barry White.- It is Barry White.
0:30:38 > 0:30:39Would've scored 41.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42You can actually get a stuffed toy which is a Walrus Of Love,
0:30:42 > 0:30:43it's a walrus with a red rose,
0:30:43 > 0:30:45and it sings Barry White's Can't Get Enough Of Your Love.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- LAUGHTER - That's quite cool, isn't it?
0:30:48 > 0:30:49I'd like one of those.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52The layer of subdermal fat, you were quite right, is blubber,
0:30:52 > 0:30:54actually a slightly better scorer than tusks, but no matter.
0:30:54 > 0:30:5551 for that.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58- And do you know the London museum? It's a lovely museum.- No.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59It's the Horniman.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02And that would've scored four, so very well done if you said that.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Thanks very much, Richard.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06So, here comes your second question, Mel and Martin,
0:31:06 > 0:31:08you have to win this one to stay in the game, but remember,
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Steph and Charlie get to answer it first, so...
0:31:10 > 0:31:11good luck with that.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Our second question today is all about...
0:31:17 > 0:31:19- Richard?- Going to show you the names, now,
0:31:19 > 0:31:21of five of those seven wonders of the ancient world.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23But we've missed one word out of each of them.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Can you fill in that word, please?
0:31:25 > 0:31:28OK, let's reveal our five wonders with bits missing,
0:31:28 > 0:31:30and here they are.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32We have...
0:31:43 > 0:31:45I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:53 > 0:31:54There we are.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58Now, Steph and Charlie, you will go first. Feel free to confer.
0:31:58 > 0:31:59WHISPERING
0:32:02 > 0:32:04- SHE LAUGHS - Erm...
0:32:04 > 0:32:07I think I know all the first four, not the bottom one,
0:32:07 > 0:32:09and I'm going to go for the second one which I believe is the...
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Mausoleum of Halicarnassus.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14OK, the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Now, then, Mel and Martin, it's over to you.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Can you talk us through that board?
0:32:19 > 0:32:22We only know a couple of them, actually.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26And they're probably the two obvious ones, so obviously...
0:32:26 > 0:32:28- Pyramids of Giza and...- Gardens...
0:32:28 > 0:32:30But the ones we're going to go for, I think,
0:32:30 > 0:32:32is the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35OK, so, we have Mausoleum versus Gardens.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Steph and Charlie went for Mausoleum,
0:32:37 > 0:32:38let's see if that's right,
0:32:38 > 0:32:40let's see how many of our 100 people went for it.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Mausoleum of Halicarnassus.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46SHE SIGHS
0:32:49 > 0:32:50Oh, that's a good answer!
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Down it goes. The Mausoleum...
0:32:52 > 0:32:53XANDER LAUGHS
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Five, for Mausoleum of Halicarnassus.
0:32:55 > 0:32:56APPLAUSE
0:32:58 > 0:32:59Very well done.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03Mel and Martin, meanwhile, have gone for the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10It's ri... Ooh! Look at that!
0:33:10 > 0:33:1289! My goodness me.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Very well done, indeed, Steph and Charlie.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16That means after only two questions,
0:33:16 > 0:33:19you are straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22One of our 100 on that one said the Hanging Baskets of Babylon,
0:33:22 > 0:33:24- which I... - LAUGHTER
0:33:24 > 0:33:27I suspect was absentmindedness rather than ignorance...
0:33:27 > 0:33:29You can imagine just going, "Hanging... Yep, got that
0:33:29 > 0:33:32"Yeah, Baskets, that's fine... Let's look at these others."
0:33:32 > 0:33:36Nice answer, though. The Statue at Olympia was of...
0:33:36 > 0:33:37Zeus.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41That would have scored you 34 points.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43The Pyramids of Giza, you're right.
0:33:44 > 0:33:4865 points for that, and the Temple at Ephesus...?
0:33:48 > 0:33:50- Artemis. - It is Artemis.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51And that would have scored you 14,
0:33:51 > 0:33:53so the best answer on the board there,
0:33:53 > 0:33:55the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. Very well played.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56Thanks very much.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- I'm afraid, it's Mel and Martin. Twice in the head-to-head!- I know!
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Last time you were the slightly higher scorers,
0:34:04 > 0:34:05this time, you're the low scorers.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07HE SIGHS
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Still, I'm afraid you've been thwarted at every turn.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11I'm so sorry. It's been great having you on the show
0:34:11 > 0:34:13but I'm sorry you didn't get your hands on the trophy.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16But brilliant, brilliant play, Mel and Martin. Very well done.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18APPLAUSE
0:34:20 > 0:34:24But, for Steph and Charlie, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27APPLAUSE
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Congratulations, Steph and Charlie,
0:34:29 > 0:34:31you've seen off all the competition,
0:34:31 > 0:34:34and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:34:42 > 0:34:46and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £3,000.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48APPLAUSE
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Well, I mean, this is a wonderful thing.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54- You've done very well, but it's all just been on one show.- I know!- Yeah.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56I wanted to ask you all about your orchestra.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58Charlie, what do you play in the orchestra?
0:34:58 > 0:35:00I play trombone in the orchestra.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- All right, and how big is the orchestra?- Pretty big.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04- Like 80...- 80 people. - 80, 90 people.- That's colossal.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08- A proper symphony orchestra.- Yeah. - Have you got contrabassoons?
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Talk amongst yourselves. LAUGHTER
0:35:10 > 0:35:13- We have to hire them in, don't we? - We have.- I had contrabassoons once.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15- Oh, boy!- Oof! - LAUGHTER
0:35:15 > 0:35:17You know what? Antibiotics cleared it up,
0:35:17 > 0:35:19- two weeks... - LAUGHTER
0:35:19 > 0:35:21- ..absolutely fine. - Fair enough.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25Now, in this round, anything you'd particularly like to see come up?
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- Well, classical music. - Classical music, yeah.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28Would be a gift, wouldn't it?
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- What else?- Geography.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32I'm pretty good at football, so long as it's relatively recent.
0:35:32 > 0:35:33Bad for me!
0:35:33 > 0:35:36- And then... - Films, maybe, depending what it was.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Maybe like modern pop music, as well.
0:35:38 > 0:35:39OK, well, as always, you know how it works,
0:35:39 > 0:35:42you get to choose your category from the four we throw up on the board.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Let's see what today's selection looks like. We've got...
0:35:54 > 0:35:55Soul singers?
0:35:56 > 0:35:59I think... I think...Davis Cup might be better, might be able to...
0:35:59 > 0:36:03- Hopefully there'll be some players that I can...say.- Sure?- Yeah.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05- OK.- Yeah, we'll go 2015 Davis Cup.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07OK, Davis Cup it is.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09OK, very best of luck.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12We're looking for the name of anyone beaten by Andy Murray during...
0:36:12 > 0:36:16our winning campaign, anyone beaten in singles or doubles
0:36:16 > 0:36:19between March and November in the world group ties.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21We are looking for any team
0:36:21 > 0:36:23who played in the world group and play-off stages,
0:36:23 > 0:36:27that's the top 24 teams in the world apart from the GB team,
0:36:27 > 0:36:30so any team who played in the world group and play-off stages.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Or we're looking for any places that hosted a tie
0:36:32 > 0:36:35during those stages as well, please, so the name of any town or city
0:36:35 > 0:36:37listed on the official Davis cup website
0:36:37 > 0:36:38that hosted one of those ties,
0:36:38 > 0:36:41so anyone beaten by Andy Murray, any teams in those...
0:36:41 > 0:36:43final world group and play-off stages,
0:36:43 > 0:36:46and any town or city that hosted one of the ties. Very best of luck.
0:36:46 > 0:36:47Thanks very much indeed.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:36:51 > 0:36:53and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers
0:36:53 > 0:36:54to be pointless.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- Are you ready?- Yes. - As we'll ever be.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Your time starts now.
0:37:01 > 0:37:02- Right.- Talk at me.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03I wouldn't be able to name any...
0:37:03 > 0:37:05places.
0:37:05 > 0:37:06And I wouldn't be confident on a...
0:37:06 > 0:37:07- You could guess a team.- Yeah.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09- Maybe.- Well, the teams...
0:37:09 > 0:37:10The teams are just countries, so...
0:37:10 > 0:37:12- Yeah, OK.- We could just guess three countries.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- But do you know any one...?- I know, like, certain teams are like...
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Oh, I didn't follow it that much, but, like...
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Belgium... Argentina were definitely in it.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23I mean, like, all the obvious ones are going to be
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- like Spain, Switzerland... - Take a punt at a country.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Yeah, I just trying to think of like if there's any, like,
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- slightly more obscure... - Do you know any...
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Like any obscure tennis players that are from, like,
0:37:33 > 0:37:36more obscure countries that will have, like...
0:37:36 > 0:37:38OK. Do you know anyone that...
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- Andy Murray beat? Like, any obscure people?- Not for certain.
0:37:41 > 0:37:42- OK, right. OK.- So...
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- we're just going to guess three countries?- Yep.- So...- Argentina?
0:37:45 > 0:37:46Shall we go Argentina...?
0:37:49 > 0:37:50Somewhere in Africa?
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- No, shall we go for some of the Eastern European ones?- OK, quick.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Shall we go...
0:37:55 > 0:37:57- We could say Serbia...- Yes, and...?
0:37:57 > 0:37:59SHE GIGGLES
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- You can make one up.- Just guess one.
0:38:01 > 0:38:02OK, that is your time up.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04I now need your three answers.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Right.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Going to have to take a bit of a guess,
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- we're just going to go for three teams and hope one of them is...- OK.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14- ..correct. So we're going to go Argentina.- Argentina.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16- Serbia.- Serbia.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18And...let's go for Croatia.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- And Croatia.- Hopefully.- OK.
0:38:20 > 0:38:21Argentina, Serbia and Croatia.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer,
0:38:24 > 0:38:25do you think?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27I'm pretty sure Argentina's correct, so put that last.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Argentina goes last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- Croatia, cos I'm not 100% sure. - Croatia. Serbia in the middle.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34OK, well, let's pop those up on the board in that order, then,
0:38:34 > 0:38:36and here they are. We've got...
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Croatia, Serbia, Argentina.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41Well, very, very best of luck.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42Three answers on the board, there.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44One of those could easily be pointless,
0:38:44 > 0:38:46and could win that jackpot for you.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50If that were the case, what would you do with your 3,000 quid, Steph?
0:38:50 > 0:38:54I would probably spend it on a well-deserved holiday
0:38:54 > 0:38:56- at the end of my degree.- Excellent.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- City break, maybe, somewhere in Spain.- Very nice.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00Charlie, how about you?
0:39:00 > 0:39:04Well, I also play piano so I really want to buy another cool keyboard,
0:39:04 > 0:39:06like a little synthesiser thing, so that'll be nice.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Very good. OK, well, very best of luck.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Three answers, as I say, up on the board that, all of them,
0:39:11 > 0:39:13stand a chance of winning something for you.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Croatia was your least confident answer. The first one.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17In all three instances, we were looking for
0:39:17 > 0:39:20any team in the final world group and play-off stages.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22If it's pointless, it'll win you £3,000.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24How many of our 100 people said it? Croatia?
0:39:28 > 0:39:29Well, it's right.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33All it has to do now is go down to zero,
0:39:33 > 0:39:35and you will leave here with £3,000.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Croatia, taking us down through the teens into single figures.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Down it goes, still going down...
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Three! AUDIENCE GROANS
0:39:41 > 0:39:43APPLAUSE Three...
0:39:43 > 0:39:44for Croatia.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47That's a great score.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Think how thrilled you'd be with that, normally, in Pointless.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Sadly, in this round, we only accept pointless answers.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Serbia was your next answer.
0:39:57 > 0:39:58Again, it has to be pointless for you to win.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02So, for £3,000, let's see how many of our 100 people named Serbia.
0:40:06 > 0:40:07Again, it's right.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Your first answer, Croatia, was right,
0:40:09 > 0:40:11took us all the way down to three.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Serbia now takes us down through the teens...
0:40:14 > 0:40:15into single figures again,
0:40:15 > 0:40:17down it goes, still going down...
0:40:17 > 0:40:18There's... Ooh, three again.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20AUDIENCE GROANS
0:40:20 > 0:40:21APPLAUSE
0:40:24 > 0:40:27- I wonder if it's the same people... - Probably.- ..that put down Croatia.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28Oh, Serbia, too!
0:40:28 > 0:40:29LAUGHTER
0:40:29 > 0:40:32OK, another great answer, another great score.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33Again, not pointless.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Your third and final answer is the one that everything is riding on.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39- Argentina. This was the one that you knew was right.- Yes.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41THEY LAUGH
0:40:41 > 0:40:42Will it be pointless, I wonder?
0:40:42 > 0:40:44If it is, it wins you £3,000.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46How many of our 100 people said Argentina?
0:40:50 > 0:40:52It's right.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54Your first answer, Croatia, took us down to three.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Your second answer, Serbia, took us down to three again.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Argentina now takes us down into single figures,
0:40:59 > 0:41:01down it goes, still going down,
0:41:01 > 0:41:03still going... Oh, four! AUDIENCE GROANS
0:41:03 > 0:41:05APPLAUSE
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Well, three exceptionally low scores there.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Wonderful answers, in any other context.
0:41:14 > 0:41:15Sadly, though, you didn't manage to find
0:41:15 > 0:41:17that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:17 > 0:41:20so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £3,000.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22That will roll over onto the next show, but...
0:41:22 > 0:41:25A brilliant performance right across the show.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Lots to be proud of there and you get to take home
0:41:27 > 0:41:29a Pointless trophy each, so very, very well done indeed.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Fabulous. APPLAUSE
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Yeah, that's unlucky. That's a tough question as well,
0:41:36 > 0:41:39and I have to say the one that you went for, which is the countries,
0:41:39 > 0:41:42probably the toughest of all when you see the pointless answers.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46We'll start with the people that Andy Murray beat, though.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Here are your pointless answers.
0:41:48 > 0:41:49Ruben Bemelmans,
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Nicolas Mahut of France,
0:41:51 > 0:41:52Sam Groth of Australia,
0:41:52 > 0:41:55and Gilles Simon, whom Andy Murray beat
0:41:55 > 0:41:57in the singles against France.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Here are the countries. Only four countries were pointless answers.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02You've got a long time before you've got those.
0:42:02 > 0:42:03Columbia, Dominican Republic.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Kazakhstan were in the quarterfinals against Australia, so, you know,
0:42:06 > 0:42:08some people at home would have got that. Uzbekistan as well.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- I know you said maybe what about one of the Stans.- One of the Stans!
0:42:11 > 0:42:13There's a lot of them, but two of them were up there.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16And maybe the countries, if you'd thought about Argentina,
0:42:16 > 0:42:17Buenos Aires was a pointless answer.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Funnily enough, that's where Argentina beat Serbia as well.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Liege, where the Belgians...
0:42:22 > 0:42:24all the Belgian matches were at home.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Vancouver, Canada.
0:42:26 > 0:42:27Darwin, as well, Australia.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30That's where Australia beat Kazakhstan, funnily enough.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Also could have had Astana, Irkutsk, New Delhi, Ostrava,
0:42:33 > 0:42:37Santo Domingo, Tashkent... So lots of pointless answers out there.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40But, yeah, unless you were going to take a punt on a Stan, I think...
0:42:40 > 0:42:42- That's a nice catchphrase. - LAUGHTER
0:42:42 > 0:42:45..I think it was a very, very tough round. Unlucky.
0:42:45 > 0:42:46Thanks very much indeed.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Thanks so much, Steph and Charlie.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Great to have you on the show.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Sadly, though, they didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:52 > 0:42:54which means it rolls over on to the next show,
0:42:54 > 0:42:56when we will be playing for £4,000.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58APPLAUSE
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Join us, then, to see if someone can win it.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:04 > 0:43:05And it's goodbye from me.
0:43:05 > 0:43:06Goodbye.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10APPLAUSE
