0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Hi there, I'm Andy, this is my wife Sarah, and we're from Leeds.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43- Couple number two.- Hello, my name's Sian, I'm from Bridgend,
0:00:43 > 0:00:45and this is my brother Ian, from Cardiff.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Nicky,
0:00:47 > 0:00:51this is my friend and spiritual guide Edo, and we're from London.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And finally couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hello, my name's Jean, this is my son Ray,
0:00:55 > 0:00:57and we're from Llandudno in North Wales.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00And these are today's contestants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Thanks very much, all of you, a very warm welcome to the show.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show
0:01:05 > 0:01:08as it goes along. So that just leaves one more person
0:01:08 > 0:01:11for me to introduce - he's not here to sugar-coat things,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13no matter how delicious I keep saying that would be.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Hiya. Good afternoon to you.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- And to you.- Now, there's good news and bad news, I think,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26for all our contestants today.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29The good news is that in that jackpot round last time,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Lesley and Gillian got a two-pointer
0:01:31 > 0:01:34on Barbra Streisand, but not a pointless answer,
0:01:34 > 0:01:35so the jackpot keeps going up.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38The bad news is, I think it's going to be quite a competitive show,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40we've got two very good returning pairs.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Ian and Sian got through to the head-to-head,
0:01:42 > 0:01:43so they're going to be tough,
0:01:43 > 0:01:44but also Edo and Nicky got knocked out
0:01:44 > 0:01:47in that first round where everybody got low scores,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49everybody did, so I think it's going to be tough.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51But there's money up for grabs,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53so for people at home, it's all good news.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Oh, it's all good.- It's all good.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Well, Gillian and Lesley, as you've gathered,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01didn't win the jackpot last time, which means we add
0:02:01 > 0:02:05another £1,000 to it, so today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:05 > 0:02:06- AUDIENCE:- Ooh! - Yes.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:02:08 > 0:02:09There's an "Ooh!"
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Just remember this - the pair with the highest score at the end of
0:02:21 > 0:02:24each round will be eliminated, no conferring until the head-to-head.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Best of luck to all four pairs, our first category for today is...
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Can you decide in your pairs,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:45 > 0:02:46- TV surnames, Richard.- Yeah, on each board
0:02:46 > 0:02:48we're going to give you seven lists of surnames
0:02:48 > 0:02:51of characters from certain television shows alongside
0:02:51 > 0:02:53the year that show was first broadcast.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55You just need to tell us the name of the show, please.
0:02:55 > 0:02:5814 in all to have a go at at home, very best of luck.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Fantastic. OK, so we're looking for the TV shows that feature
0:03:00 > 0:03:03the characters with these surnames.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Here is our first board of seven.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I'll read those again.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45There we are. Sarah.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Hello.- A warm welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here, from Leeds.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49What do you do in Leeds, Sarah?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51I'm a senior credit controller,
0:03:51 > 0:03:53I work for a large food manufacturing company.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I love large food!
0:03:57 > 0:03:59How fantastic. And you control the credit there!
0:03:59 > 0:04:03What are your interests when you're not doing that?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Well, we've got a 13-month-old little boy...
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- Aww.- ..so obviously a lot of time's taken up with that.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12A big interest of mine is music, I love going to gigs, festivals,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- that kind of thing. - Leeds - big, big music centre.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- New arena.- Very exciting. - Yeah, so, yeah.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22Good stuff. How are you feeling on this TV programmes/surnames mashup?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Not too bad.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28I think I'm going to play it relatively safe, I think.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I'm going to go for Murdock, Baracus, Peck,
0:04:31 > 0:04:32and that's The A-Team.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34The A-Team, says Sarah.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37The A-Team. Let's see how many of our 100 people went for that.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38The A-Team.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42It's right.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46It's not too bad, I thought that might be a high score.
0:04:46 > 0:04:4946, not bad at all. The A-Team, good start to the round.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Well done, Sarah.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Guess how many times BA Baracus, Mr T,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58says, "I pity the fool" across the whole run of The A-Team.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- 2,497.- You are so close.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Zero.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04LAUGHTER
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- I know!- It's the sort of thing he should've said.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Well, Mr T does, that's one of his catchphrases in real life,
0:05:10 > 0:05:12but he never says it in The A-Team.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- Really?- BA Baracus never says it. - When he goes for weigh-ins...
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Oh, no, that was only in Rocky.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18RICHARD LAUGHS There we are, OK, thank you.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Richard, thank you.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Sian.- Hello.- Welcome back. Head-to-head last time.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25- Yep.- Got to have your eye on the final this time, Sian.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- Ooh.- Remind us what you do, Sian.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30I work for children's services for the local authority.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32That's right, and whose idea...? You've come with your brother,
0:05:32 > 0:05:34whose idea was it to come, initially?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37It was my idea, I had to twist Ian's arm...
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Oh. Oh, you had to twist Ian?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Only slightly!- Oh, I see, OK.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Good, not so as it hurts! There you are.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Well, very, very good indeed.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Now, Sian, what would you like to go for?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- SIGHING:- Right, I think I know a couple of them,
0:05:52 > 0:05:56but the one I'm going to go for is probably one of my favourite shows.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Cooper, Koothrappali and Wolowitz is The Big Bang Theory.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02The Big Bang Theory, says Sian.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05OK, you're earning yourself a nod from Edo, that's a good show.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Let's see how many of our 100 people went for The Big Bang Theory.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14It's right, 46 is our only score at this point -
0:06:14 > 0:06:16and you pass it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Down it goes -
0:06:18 > 0:06:1919, very well done indeed, Sian.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20That's the stuff.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Lovely answer, Sian. Great show as well.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27We make a thing over here of thinking our comedy
0:06:27 > 0:06:29is more intelligent than American comedy,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32and that's the biggest rated comedy in America by a mile,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35and it's about nuclear physics, essentially, and neuroscience,
0:06:35 > 0:06:36and has lots of plotlines about it.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- I've never watched it. Isn't that appalling?- Oh, it's really good.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42That makes it sound boring, it's not, it's very stupid as well,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44but a lot of the jokes are to do with, you know,
0:06:44 > 0:06:48chaos theory and vexillology and probability and stuff.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- I love vexillology! - Biggest rated show in America.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Brilliant. I'm going to track it down.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Thank you very much. Now, Edo...- Hello.- ..welcome back.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Remind us what you do, Edo? - I work in sports journalism.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02In sports journalism, but for an Italian...
0:07:02 > 0:07:04It's not a publisher, it's an online thing, isn't it?
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Yeah, I'm an editor of the English page of an Italian website.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10But sport is your focus?
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Yeah, that and history.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Oh, sorry, no - in the job, yeah, sports.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16What sports do you cover then? Football obviously.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Yeah, it's almost all football, basically.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Mostly transfers...that I see.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25So during the window you are working flat out?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Yeah, the window is hell, but a good kind of hell.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Yeah, fun hell!
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Fun hell, yeah.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36The best kind of hell! Edo, what would you like to go for?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38EDO SIGHS
0:07:38 > 0:07:41It's a show I watched as a child, a shout out to my sister.
0:07:41 > 0:07:46Tracy, Creighton-Ward and Kyrano I'm strongly confident is Thunderbirds.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Thunderbirds, says Edo.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people
0:07:49 > 0:07:51said Thunderbirds.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Well, it is right.
0:07:55 > 0:07:5846 still our highest score, and you pass it.
0:07:58 > 0:07:5919 our low score...and you pass it.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Look at that, 11!
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Look at that, Edo!
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Wow.
0:08:06 > 0:08:0811, and also that's the first time
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I've seen a salute of somebody slapping paper into stone!
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- No, I know, I... - LAUGHTER
0:08:13 > 0:08:14They looked like they were both trying to do
0:08:14 > 0:08:16slightly different celebrations to each other.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Guys, I think you sort of pulled it off, you almost got away with it.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20- I liked it.- Almost did.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23It's my fault, he's got way more swag than I do, I just don't.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Never had it, never will.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26I'm looking forward to seeing that
0:08:26 > 0:08:28in slow motion when they show it in the...
0:08:28 > 0:08:30The stone, a bit of a... HE MIMICS SLOW MOTION SOUND EFFECTS
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- ..as the paper comes. - Good answer.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Creighton-Ward, that is Lady Penelope's surname.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Of course it is, Creighton-Ward.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Lovely, thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Now, Jean, welcome. Lovely to have you here from Llandudno.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Lovely to hear her Llandudno accent.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Jean, let's hear it again.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- ENGLISH ACCENT:- Hello, how are you?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51There you go - unmistakable!
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Where are you from originally, Jean?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I'm from South Ruislip in Middlesex.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00I detected a tiny whisper of that, call me Henry Higgins.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03What keeps you busy up in Llandudno?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06At the moment, I'm looking after my 18-month-old granddaughter,
0:09:06 > 0:09:07which is Ray's little girl.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Lovely, what's her name? - She's Frankie.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Frankie! Will she be able...?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- Of course she'll be able... - Yeah, she loves to watch you.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16That's very nice indeed. What are your hobbies, Jean?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18I like reading, I like swimming,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21I also like going on roller-coasters as well.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Stop right there, Jean! LAUGHTER
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Roller-coasters? What kind of roller-coasters do you like?
0:09:27 > 0:09:31The last one I went on was at Winter Wonderland, and it was the one,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34you know, it drops, and I just sort of quite like them, actually.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37You like that? Do you still get scared by roller-coasters
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- or are you such an old hand now...?- No, not at all.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43You have to put your hands in the air to feel any kind of adrenaline?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Yeah.- That's brilliant, good for you.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Jean, this board's all yours.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Do you want to talk us through it and fill in all the blanks?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I think the top one's...
0:09:52 > 0:09:54what is it? I can't remember now.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I know the second one is Criminal Minds.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Mitch... No, sorry, Hotchner, Reid and Morgan.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Is that the one you want to go for? - Yeah, please.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Hotchner, Reid, Morgan - Criminal Minds, says Jean.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Let's see if that's right, let's see how many
0:10:07 > 0:10:09of our 100 people said Criminal Minds.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15It's right. Well, 46, still our high score...
0:10:15 > 0:10:16and you pass it.
0:10:16 > 0:10:1811 our low score...
0:10:18 > 0:10:19and you pass it!
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Look at that, Jean, 7!
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Very well done indeed.
0:10:22 > 0:10:247 for Criminal Minds.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27That's lovely play, Jean, very well done.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30I have to confess, I've not seen Criminal Minds,
0:10:30 > 0:10:33I wouldn't have got that. I'm assuming it's crime-ey?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Yeah, and it's not got...
0:10:35 > 0:10:38I don't think it's got Morgan in it any more.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Spoiler alert, Jean!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Let's fill in these, shall we?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Flanders, Wiggum and Lovejoy...
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Is The Simpsons. - Oh, of course!
0:10:48 > 0:10:4933 points for that.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Mitchell, Slater, Fowler...
0:10:51 > 0:10:53is of course EastEnders.
0:10:53 > 0:10:5761 points. And Game Of Thrones your final answer there,
0:10:57 > 0:10:58that would have scored 24.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00So, Jean, Criminal Minds is the best answer on the board.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02There we are, thank you very much indeed.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Well, we're halfway through the round, so let's just recap
0:11:05 > 0:11:08on those scores. They get smaller as they go away from me.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Jean and Ray, very well done, Jean,
0:11:10 > 0:11:11lovely low score, 7.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Then we come up to 11 with Edo and Nicky,
0:11:14 > 0:11:15then up to 19, Sian and Ian,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17then up to 46, quite a leap
0:11:17 > 0:11:18for Sarah and Andy.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20So, Andy, you know what you have to do,
0:11:20 > 0:11:21you have to find the lowest possible score
0:11:21 > 0:11:24you can and let's hope it's enough to keep you in the game.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Best of luck, we're going to come back down the line now,
0:11:26 > 0:11:29can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:31 > 0:11:35OK, let's put seven more surnames up on the board, and here they are.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00I'm going to read them all again.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Now then, Ray, welcome to Pointless, great to have you here.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23What keeps you busy, Ray, up in Llandudno?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26I'm a keen footballer,
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- playing and watching. - How often do you play?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33I play, well, I train Wednesdays during the week
0:12:33 > 0:12:34and then play Saturdays.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Very good, so you take it quite seriously, football?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Well, to a certain degree. I try to.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41What's your team called?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- Mochdre Sports. - Mochdre?- Yes.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46That sounds like a shop. Mock-tra Sports.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49I think it's...in Welsh translates to "pig town".
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- Pig town?- Yeah.- Still...
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Sounds a bit less like a... - Yeah, not much better, is it?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Butcher-come-sports shop. Anyway, there we are.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Now, Ray, 38 or less definitely keeps you in the game.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Okey dokey. I think I only know two on this board,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07and one will be quite high, so I'm going to go for my second choice.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Marsh, Cartman, Broflovski - South Park.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12South Park, says Ray.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Here is your red line.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Not too low, actually.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19If you get below that, you're definitely into Round Two.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21How many of our 100 said South Park?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Look at that, Ray. Done it.
0:13:31 > 0:13:3324, taking your total up to 31.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Not mucking about on that final podium, are they?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40I have to say the day my kids were old enough to watch South Park
0:13:40 > 0:13:43was a great day. It's a great show,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45but you mustn't watch it if you've got young kids,
0:13:45 > 0:13:46it's very, very rude.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- Very rude.- They create each one from scratch in six days.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- No!- Isn't that amazing?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- Really?- They are incredibly reactive sometimes,
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- to topical events. - They are, that's true.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Now, Nicky... Remind us what you do, Nicky?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00I'm currently a trainee journalist.
0:14:00 > 0:14:06A trainee journalist, but you have also been a political researcher.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- I have indeed.- How long did you do the political research for?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- Seven years.- Wow.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Close to eight, actually.- Based at the Houses of Parliament?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Indeed.- Westminster.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18- In the Palace of Westminster. - Wow.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20How long had you worked there before
0:14:20 > 0:14:23the magic wore off, or did it never?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Did you walk in every day and think, "Ahhh"?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29It could be tiresome sometimes, erm...
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- It can be jading. - Yeah, I can imagine.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38It took a while, I did enjoy it - largely.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Well, there we are. So, Nicky, you are on 11.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Our high scorers are still Andy and Sarah on 46,
0:14:43 > 0:14:46so 34 or less keeps you very much in the game.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50Indeed. I know that the show I'm thinking of
0:14:50 > 0:14:55has Peter Griffin and has a Cleveland Brown,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57so I'm going to go for Family Guy for the bottom one.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Family Guy says Nicky. Here is your red line.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Get below this red line with Family Guy and you are into Round Two.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04How many of our 100 said Family Guy?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08It's right.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Good enough.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Oh, and more. Look at that, room to spare.
0:15:15 > 0:15:1813, taking your total up to 24.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Could easily be in line to be
0:15:20 > 0:15:22the lowest total of the round, I'd have thought.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25And a much more co-ordinated celebration there as well,
0:15:25 > 0:15:26gents, so very well done.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- Very well done. - I missed the celebration.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- Mm?- I missed the celebration.- Did you?- It was very nicely done.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32You'll have to watch it when it goes out.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- In slow-mo?- Can you guys just do in slow-mo what you did for Xander?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Because he missed it.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Oh, better in slow-mo.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46Slow-mo is weird.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50I love the way the sweat fell off Edo's face like that.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Amazing.- And the Swanson there is Joe, the cop, and his wife Bonnie,
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- are the Swansons in Family Guy. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Now, Ian, welcome back to Pointless.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Good to have you here. Remind us what you do, Ian?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03I am an IT services manager.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06So I unplug cables and plug them back in again.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10So important. So important if you want to be connected.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Absolutely.- Now, Ian, you, I gather,
0:16:13 > 0:16:15look very, very, very like your father.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17That is very true.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22This is extraordinary. I know. It's not a hobby as such,
0:16:22 > 0:16:23it's just something you do.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25And I've got one of his shirts on today.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- Yeah.- Just in tribute to my dad.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- That's fantastic! - Not that he's...dead.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33No, he's just shivering at home.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35HE SHIVERS
0:16:36 > 0:16:40So, yes, you sent in a lookalike thing to be judged on.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Well, my sister sent in a lookalike picture to The One Show.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45A couple of years ago.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I was out in the garden, chopping wood.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I came back in and everybody made me sit down and watch The One Show,
0:16:51 > 0:16:52and I thought,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54"Well, OK, if you really want me to watch the One Show."
0:16:54 > 0:16:56All of a sudden, Matt Smith, is that his name?
0:16:56 > 0:17:01- Matt Baker.- Matt Baker held up two pictures, one of me, one of my dad,
0:17:01 > 0:17:04and said, "Look at these two. Look how similar they look."
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Peas in a pod. Aww. Outside chopping wood.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08You see, that's...
0:17:08 > 0:17:11I know. It puts us to shame slightly, doesn't it?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13I know. I like that.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Ian, you're on 19.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17The high scorers STILL Andy and Sarah on 46.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20You have to score 26 or less to stay in.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Ian, do you think you can do it?
0:17:21 > 0:17:23I don't know.
0:17:23 > 0:17:29I'll try. My answer is, for Pierce, Houlihan and Klinger, is Mash.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Mash, says Ian.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32Here's your red line.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34You have to get below that with Mash.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Let's see how many of our 100 people said Mash.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40It's right.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Oh, look at that! 27.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48You wanted 26, you got 27.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50That takes your total up to 46.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53You are now equal to our high scorers, Andy and Sarah.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55And Alan Alda, who plays Hawkeye Pierce,
0:17:55 > 0:17:57first person ever to get an Emmy for writing,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59directing and acting in the same series.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Very impressive.- Yeah, co-wrote lots of them, directed lots of them.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04There we are, thank you, Richard.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06So, Andy, welcome to Pointless.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- What do you do, Andy? - I'm a bus driver.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Are you? In Leeds itself?
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- In Leeds, yes.- On one particular route or do you get moved around?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Well, I've just actually changed rotas,
0:18:16 > 0:18:19so it's a comprehensive route, so I do all routes, basically.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Are you ever allowed to make up little short cuts?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- No.- Oh.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Always wanted to know that.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29What are your hobbies, aside from driving?
0:18:29 > 0:18:30I enjoy watching films.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33I enjoy, for my sins, playing Scrabble.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39When I was younger, I used to be quite involved in circus skills,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42so I can unicycle, stilt walk and juggle.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Well, that's how we're going to celebrate
0:18:45 > 0:18:46the end of this show, isn't it?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48I think! There we are.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Now, Andy, you have to find a pointless answer
0:18:51 > 0:18:53to have a chance of staying in the game,
0:18:53 > 0:18:56I'm afraid, because you are currently joint high scorers
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- with Ian and Sian.- OK.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02I did know five, three of them have gone.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06I'm going to go with a guess, and go for Brent, Canterbury and Keenan,
0:19:06 > 0:19:10and I will guess Beverly Hills 90210.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15Beverly Hills 90210, says Andy, for Brent, Canterbury, Keenan.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Is it right? That's the question. Is it right?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Bad luck. You did exactly what you had to do.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26I'm afraid it didn't pay off on this occasion.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Scored you 100 points. 146 is your total.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Yeah, you did exactly the right thing.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32You've got to go for it. This was a show,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34it got one of the lowest appreciation indexes
0:19:34 > 0:19:36of any first episode of any show in the history of the BBC,
0:19:36 > 0:19:38and it was...?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- The Office. - The Office, yeah, absolutely.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43David Brent, Tim Canterbury and Gareth Keenan.
0:19:43 > 0:19:4514 points for that. They say the only thing that ever scored lower
0:19:45 > 0:19:49than it on the appreciation index was women's bowls.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Really?- Yeah.- There you are.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53- There you go.- Wow.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56The top two are the most obvious ones here.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59I'm assuming those were the ones you were avoiding.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- Fonzarelli etc...- Happy Days.
0:20:02 > 0:20:0455. Geller, Buffay, Tribbiani.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- Friends. - Yeah. 46.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Now, this is the best answer on the board.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11You can work it out from the first name and date, maybe.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- Vicar of Dibley. - Vicar of Dibley, yes.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Dawn French as Geraldine Granger. - Wow, three!- Three points for that.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- Well done if you said that. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20So, at the end of our first round,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22the pair we have to say goodbye to, I'm sorry to say,
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Andy and Sarah, it's you.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24But it's been lovely having you on.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26We'll see you again next time.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27I'm sure it will go much better then.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29In the meantime, thanks very much indeed. Andy and Sarah!
0:20:29 > 0:20:31APPLAUSE
0:20:32 > 0:20:35But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42And so three pairs remain.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43At the end of this round,
0:20:43 > 0:20:45obviously we have to say goodbye to another pair
0:20:45 > 0:20:48in time for our head-to-head round. But Jean and Edo,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51our low scorers there in that round, very well done.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Jean, with Criminal Minds.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Very good. Anyway, best of luck to all three pairs.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Our category for Round Two today is science.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Science. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:21:02 > 0:21:03who's going to go second?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Here it comes.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:21:15 > 0:21:18to name as many chemical elements
0:21:18 > 0:21:21that contained the letter A as they could.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Chemical elements that contain the letter A. Richard.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Yeah, any element on the periodic table as of February 2016, please,
0:21:28 > 0:21:30that contains the letter A in its name.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Thanks very much.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Now then, Ian.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Hi. I'm going to try californium.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Californium.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48It's right.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Used to be a wonderful low scorer, reliable Pointless answer, this one.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Let's see how it does today.
0:21:54 > 0:21:555 for californium.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Very well done indeed, Ian.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Yeah, it's often used to start up nuclear reactors.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Oh. So, when they are inaugurating a nuclear reactor,
0:22:07 > 0:22:08they call in the californium...
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- Well, you know when you get home... - Yeah.- ..after a day out...
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- Yeah.- ..and your house is a bit cold...
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- Yes.- It's essentially that.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18If you have nuclear heating in your house,
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- which some people do these days... - Yeah.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23You would essentially, it's like, instead of a pilot light,
0:22:23 > 0:22:28you just toss some californium onto the coals and...
0:22:28 > 0:22:29- You're up and running.- Lovely.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Someone was telling me that the future of nuclear reactors
0:22:32 > 0:22:35could easily be something the size of a garden shed.
0:22:35 > 0:22:40Something of that size that would have something the size of a saucer,
0:22:40 > 0:22:44effectively, and that could power a city.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- A little garden shed.- Which city?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Very small one.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- Yeah.- Letchworth Garden Shed City?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53That's the fellow.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Anyway, let's get back to the game.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Nicky?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00So many options.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01I will go for...
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- ..radium.- Radium says Nicky.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Let's see how many of our 100 people went for that.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11It's right.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Got californium to contend with, which took us down to 5.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17Radium takes us to 10.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19There we are.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Yeah, discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28- Together?- Yes.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- They were clearing out the loft. - Aw.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35And they found it underneath some old photos.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Aw, nice.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40There weren't old photos at the time. But they are these days.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Yes.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Don't store your photos next to your radium, by the way.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45You mustn't do.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Also, don't store your radium in the loft, to be honest.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Fair enough. Fair enough.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Jean?
0:23:51 > 0:23:54I'm so bad at this that I don't even know if it's right.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58- Magnesium.- Magnesium, says Jean.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Gets you a nod from Edo.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Let's see how many of our 100 people said magnesium.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06It's right.
0:24:10 > 0:24:1328 for magnesium.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Very important for human sleep, magnesium.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22If you have too little or too much, you can't sleep properly.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- I don't know why. - That's where I'm going wrong.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Yeah. It's those hot magnesium drinks that you're having
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- before bedtime. - So good for the digestion, though.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- Listen, a lovely cup of hot... - Magnesium.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- Little rich... - Not too hot. A bit bright.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Lovely little biscuit. Little Rich Magnesium in there.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40Lovely.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Let's take a look at those scores. 5, very well done indeed.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49It's the reverse of last time.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51This time, the thin end of the wedge is towards me.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52Ian and Sian, very well done.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Then to 10 where we find Nicky and Edo.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Then up to 28 where we find Jean and Ray.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59So, Ray, you're the high scorer.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Let's have a nice obscure element, please.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03We're going to come back down the line now.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:25:08 > 0:25:12So, Ray, remember, it's any chemical element containing the letter A.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16OK. This isn't very good for me.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19I'm hoping that I'm going for an obvious one
0:25:19 > 0:25:22and I'm not going to look stupid saying it.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Nitrate.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Nitrate? Nitrate.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30I'm on a day rate, personally.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Ray is saying nitrate. No redline for you.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33You're the highest scorer.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Let's see how many of our 100 people said nitrate.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Oh, bad luck.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Ray, I'm sorry. That scores you 100 points.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Takes your total up to 128.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49- Sorry.- Sorry, Ray. Not an element, I'm afraid.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50There we are, Edo.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Little bit of pressure taken off you there.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Doesn't matter what you score now.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I'm sure you've got a good answer, though.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02And, hence, why I'm going to take a bit of a risk.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Cadmium.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Cadmium. As in nickel cadmium.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people
0:26:09 > 0:26:11said cadmium. There's no redline for you.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12You're already through.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Look at that! Cadmium.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Well, 5 is our lowest score.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21So far. Cadmium takes us to 10.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24There you are. Equalling Nicky.
0:26:24 > 0:26:2620 is your total.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Cadmium, another good answer.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30It's the big rival to Rowntreesium.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Thanks very much, Richard.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Sian, again, it doesn't matter what you score.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39You're still through. A little bit of pressure off.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Why not see if you can find a pointless answer?
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Right. I was looking at these before we came on the show.
0:26:46 > 0:26:52And, I think it's right, protactinium.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Protactinium. Oh, we love protactinium.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57No red line for you. You're already through.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01Let's see how many of 100 people love protactinium.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09It's right. Now, Ian was our lowest scorer before protactinium.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Ian who?
0:27:14 > 0:27:17That's a pointless answer. It adds £250 to today's jackpot.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21It takes our jackpot up to £6,250.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22It scores you nothing.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24It leaves you a total of 5.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25Very well done indeed.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Protactinium. - Oh, what a lovely end to the round.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Terrific stuff. Well played.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32For many years, the only place you could get protactinium
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- was in the UK.- At Boots.- Yeah.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Over-the-counter, though, you couldn't just pick it up.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38- No.- You had to ask a chemist.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I don't know what they use it for,
0:27:40 > 0:27:42but someone will be in charge of what that was all about.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- I'm assuming. - Very exciting.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Now, there's a whole bunch of pointless answers.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48We'll take a look at some of them now.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50In fact, we'll take a look at all of them, I think.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00Well done if you said any of these.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06You also could have had gallium and hassium.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Well done if you said any of those and, of course, protactinium.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Let's take a look at the top three.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13The ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20And the shop where they keep all the other elements.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Argon with 37.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Thanks very much, Richard.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28So, at the end of our second round, the pair we have to say goodbye to,
0:28:28 > 0:28:30with their high score of 128.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33It is our new couple, it's Ray and Jean.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36We will see you again next time. You'll be veterans of the game then.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38I'm sure you'll get much, much further.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41In the meantime, thanks very much for playing. Ray and Jean.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Well, congratulations, Edo and Nicky, Ian and Sian.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57You are now one step closer to the final
0:28:57 > 0:28:58and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:28:58 > 0:29:00which currently stands at...
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Well, here we are. We've arrived at the head-to-head,
0:29:07 > 0:29:08which now means you are allowed to confer
0:29:08 > 0:29:10before you give your answers.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:29:12 > 0:29:17So, it's brother and sister versus Nicky and his spiritual guide.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Very good.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Edo, that's putting quite a lot of your shoulders, isn't it?
0:29:22 > 0:29:23Are you happy with that?
0:29:23 > 0:29:26No. It's good for me because, if we don't win tonight,
0:29:26 > 0:29:27I'll just release a book.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Some book that doesn't really tell you anything important
0:29:29 > 0:29:32and I'll make loads of money out of it.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Fantastic. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35Let's play the head-to-head.
0:29:41 > 0:29:42Here is your first question.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45And it concerns...
0:29:48 > 0:29:50- Richard.- We're going to show you five pictures of celebrities
0:29:50 > 0:29:52who have a capital city in their name.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55We need the full name of one of these five, please.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Thank you very much indeed. Let's reveal our five celebrities.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Here they come. We've got...
0:30:29 > 0:30:33There we are. Five celebrities with capital cities in their names.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Edo, and Nicky, you're our low scorer so far, so you will go first.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Feel free to confer.
0:30:39 > 0:30:45We wanted to go for a less well-known answer,
0:30:45 > 0:30:48but we could not totally agree on the first name of the person.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52- Right.- So, we'll go with A, and we'll say Dion Dublin.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Dion Dublin, Say Edo and Nicky. Dion Dublin.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Now then, Ian and Sian, it's over to you.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03Well, we know B, Denzel Washington,
0:31:03 > 0:31:05and we think D is Paris Hilton.
0:31:05 > 0:31:11So, we're going to take a risk on E with Irving Berlin.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Irving Berlin.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16You were thinking Isaiah, weren't you?
0:31:16 > 0:31:17That's what you were juggling with. OK.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21So, we have Dion Dublin and we have Irving Berlin.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Edo and Nicky said Dion Dublin.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Let's see if that's right for A.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Let's see how many of our 100 people went for that.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32It's right.
0:31:38 > 0:31:3919.
0:31:43 > 0:31:4419. OK.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Now, Ian and Sian have gone for Irving Berlin for E.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people got it.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02And, look at that, Irving Berlin, wins it. 8.
0:32:02 > 0:32:068 for Irving Berlin, which means, very well done indeed, Ian and Sian.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08After one question, you're up 1-0.
0:32:08 > 0:32:09Two very good answers there.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Well played. B is, of course, Denzel Washington.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15He would have scored 45 points.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18I don't think there's a Denzel Washington film I haven't enjoyed.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19I'm going to go out there and say it.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21If he's in a film, it's going to be a good film.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23I'd watch any of his films on a plane,
0:32:23 > 0:32:26apart from the one with the plane crash in it.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28- Yeah. Don't watch that one. - But that's a great film.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- It is a great film.- Flight. But don't watch it on a plane.
0:32:31 > 0:32:32Do you know what?
0:32:32 > 0:32:33Any film I watch on a plane, I enjoy.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Even terrible films, on planes.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Oh, I watched Kevin Costner's Swing Vote on a plane.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39I wouldn't do that again.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Anyway, Denzel Washington, 45.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44We'll look at D first. As you know, it's Paris Hilton.
0:32:46 > 0:32:4765 points for that.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Now, anyone who watched the Musketeers
0:32:49 > 0:32:51will recognise this other gentleman.
0:32:51 > 0:32:52But what is his name?
0:32:52 > 0:32:55He is named after the capital of Chile
0:32:55 > 0:32:57and he's called Santiago Cabrera.
0:32:57 > 0:32:58And it was a pointless answer.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00So, well done if you said that.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02There we go. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04So, here comes your second question.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Edo and Nicky, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09So, very best of luck, because Ian and Sian get to answer it first.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Our second question is all about...
0:33:13 > 0:33:14..Mythical Creatures.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18- Richard.- Yeah, we're going to give you five mythical creatures,
0:33:18 > 0:33:20they are all listed on oxforddictionaries.com,
0:33:20 > 0:33:21but we've missed out alternate letters.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Can you tell us the most obscure of these, please?
0:33:24 > 0:33:27OK, so let's reveal our mythical creatures with bits taken out.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28And here they are.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Ian and Sian will go first.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:34:00 > 0:34:05OK. We're going to try the third one down with Minotaur.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Minotaur say Ian and Sian. Minotaur.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Now, Edo and Nicky, over to you.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14Right. The top one's mermaid.
0:34:14 > 0:34:15Second one is Loch Ness Monster.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Third was Minotaur, which was our choice.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Fourth is poltergeist.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22And last is Bigfoot.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25I feel like the lowest one may have already gone, anyway.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27But we'll go with Bigfoot.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29You're going to go with Bigfoot?
0:34:29 > 0:34:32OK. So, we have Minotaur and we have Bigfoot.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Ian and Sian went for Minotaur. Let's see if that's right.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Let's see how many of our 100 people said Minotaur.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43Minotaur...
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Ooh. 55.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47APPLAUSE
0:34:47 > 0:34:5055 for Minotaur.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Edo and Nicky have gone for Bigfoot.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:34:58 > 0:35:0155. A little bit higher than we were expecting.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Oh, no! 59 for Bigfoot.
0:35:07 > 0:35:08Bad luck, Edo and Nicky.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Very well done. Ian and Sian, after only two questions,
0:35:11 > 0:35:13you're straight through to the final 2-0.
0:35:13 > 0:35:14Very well played. Such a tough one.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Working out what scores lowest there,
0:35:16 > 0:35:18because it's what's the most famous creature?
0:35:18 > 0:35:20And then, sometimes, it's just the formation of the letters
0:35:20 > 0:35:22that make things harder than others.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Loch Ness Monster, as you'd imagine,
0:35:24 > 0:35:26is the biggest scorer of all of them.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Loch Ness Monster would have scored you 71 points.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Now, mermaid, you weren't tempted with at all.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33It's actually the lowest scorer up there.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36But I think it is, maybe, just because of the letters.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37That would have scored 22.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39But the other one that you were thinking
0:35:39 > 0:35:41about going with was poltergeist.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44And, if you had, you'd have won.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Because it would have scored you 30 points.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48So, really, really unlucky.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Ooh, it's harsh.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Edo and Nicky. You knew two answers
0:35:57 > 0:35:59that would have kept you in the game there.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Whatever the opposite of a pyrrhic victory is, pyrrhic defeat,
0:36:02 > 0:36:05that one was. I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06It's been great having you on both shows.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09You've been low scorers in this show. Really strong performers.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11And, as I say, you could easily have stayed with us.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14I'm so sorry. Edo and Nicky, thanks very much for playing.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15Great contestants.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17APPLAUSE
0:36:19 > 0:36:22For Ian and Sian, it's our Pointless final.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Well, congratulations, Ian and Sian.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30You've seen off all of your opponents
0:36:30 > 0:36:32and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £6,250.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47CHEERING
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Now, that is turning into quite a monster jackpot now.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54And, actually, thanks to you - we had a pointless answer.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57There we are. It was our friend...
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- Oh, God! Protacterium. - Protactinium!
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Protactinium!
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Wow. Your short-term memory is good. Thank goodness.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Protactinium.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11That saw you very comfortably through each round.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14As always, you get to choose your category in this last round.
0:37:14 > 0:37:15There'll be four on the board there.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Let's hope today's selection includes
0:37:17 > 0:37:20at least one you quite like the look of. Good luck.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21Today's choices are...
0:37:31 > 0:37:32Definitely not dogs and definitely not...
0:37:32 > 0:37:37- Dogs might be...- I don't know, a bit obscure.- A bit random.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- Some of them. - Got to be live albums, hasn't it?
0:37:40 > 0:37:43- Live albums, yeah. - Live albums by bands.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- Richard. - OK, very, very best of luck.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48£6,250 if you can give us a pointless answer
0:37:48 > 0:37:50on one of these three.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53We're looking for any of the tracks on the original release
0:37:53 > 0:37:55of Live 2003 by Coldplay.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Any tracks on Queen, Live At Wembley '86.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03Or any tracks on Nirvana's MTV Unplugged in New York.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Any of the tracks on the original releases of
0:38:05 > 0:38:07any of those three albums, please.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09- Very, very best of luck. - Thanks much indeed.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:38:11 > 0:38:12to come up with three answers.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14All you need to win the jackpot is for just one of your answers
0:38:14 > 0:38:18- to be pointless. Are you ready? - Yes.- Yes.- Marvellous.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22There they are. Your time starts now.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25I know a lot of Queen Live At Wembley '86.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- OK.- It's got...
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Big Spender, they did a version of that.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- On there.- They did a... - That's a good one.
0:38:36 > 0:38:41There's a track called Impromptu. Which was a guitar solo.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- You're a big Queen fan, so... - Do you want to choose?
0:38:44 > 0:38:48Nirvana, there's Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49There's...
0:38:50 > 0:38:53God. Is it The Plateau?
0:38:53 > 0:38:56I think it's called The Plateau.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59There is Man Who Sold The World.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Bowie cover.
0:39:01 > 0:39:02Erm...
0:39:05 > 0:39:07The first one? The first or second one, eh?
0:39:07 > 0:39:08Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Yeah. Go for that.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Go for Impromptu and go for Big Spender.
0:39:13 > 0:39:14OK. OK.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18OK, well, there are still five seconds.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20They can ride it out, can't they? Your time is now up.
0:39:20 > 0:39:21What are you going to go for?
0:39:21 > 0:39:26We're going to go for, from Queen Live At Wembley, Impromptu.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28- Impromptu. - Big Spender.
0:39:28 > 0:39:29Big Spender.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33And from Nirvana MTV Unplugged In New York is
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam. - Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Now, of those three, your best shot at a pointless answer,
0:39:38 > 0:39:40- what do you think? - Impromptu.- Impromptu.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Impromptu. Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:43 > 0:39:45- Big Spender.- Big Spender.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47And Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam in the middle.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49OK, well, let's pop those answers on the board
0:39:49 > 0:39:51in that order, then. Here they are. We've got...
0:39:57 > 0:39:58Very, very best of luck.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Now, if one of these wins that jackpot for you,
0:40:01 > 0:40:03what would you spend the money on?
0:40:03 > 0:40:06£6,250.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Well, today is my fifth wedding anniversary,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12so I'm going to buy my wife something nice.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16And then I think I will treat the family to a holiday.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18OK. Sian, how about you?
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Well, travelling.
0:40:21 > 0:40:22I love travelling,
0:40:22 > 0:40:25so I'll probably do a bit of travelling with the money.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Stuff for the garden, maybe, a new shed, or something like that.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30- New shed.- Sort of weighing it up.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Well, we know what you can put in the shed now, don't we?
0:40:33 > 0:40:35- Nuclear reactor. - You can power the whole town.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37What about that? OK.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Well, very best of luck. Your first answer was Big Spender.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43In this case, we were looking for tracks from Queen Live At Wembley.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Only one of these has to be pointless
0:40:45 > 0:40:47for you to win that jackpot. £6,250.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Let's not forget. Let's see how many of our 100 people
0:40:50 > 0:40:52said Big Spender. Is it pointless?
0:40:55 > 0:40:57It's right.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Now, if Big Spender goes all the way down to zero,
0:40:59 > 0:41:03you will leave here immediately with £6,250.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Down goes Big Spender into single figures.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Still going down. Still going down.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09Yes!
0:41:09 > 0:41:12That is fantastic.
0:41:12 > 0:41:13Very well done.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16- Oh, brilliant! - That is superb!
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Thank you very much.
0:41:22 > 0:41:23Just wonderful.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Congratulations. Big Spender was a pointless answer,
0:41:26 > 0:41:29which means you go home with that big jackpot of £6,250.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Very, very well done indeed, Ray and Sian.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34CHEERING
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Very, very well played, Ian and Sian, that's terrific stuff.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39If there's one thing we like on this show,
0:41:39 > 0:41:41it's giving away big jackpots to lovely people,
0:41:41 > 0:41:43and that's just what we've done. So, thank you so much.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam, would have scored you two points.
0:41:47 > 0:41:48Cover of The Vaselines' song.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Impromptu was another pointless answer.
0:41:50 > 0:41:51So, very well done.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Brilliant, well done.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59That category turned out very nice indeed.
0:41:59 > 0:42:04We'll start, shall we, with the tracks on the Coldplay album?
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Some of their big hits here.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12God Put a Smile Upon Your Face. You also could have had Moses.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Those were the five pointless answers there.
0:42:14 > 0:42:15Take a look now at Queen.
0:42:21 > 0:42:22A few other answers.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24You could have had their Brighton Rock Solo,
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Gimme Some Lovin. Baby I Don't Care.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Hello Marylou (Goodbye Heart), they were pointless answers as well.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32And we will finish with Nirvana.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38You said Plateau, as well, during that 60 seconds.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40It would also have been a pointless answer.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Terrific work in the studio. What a performance.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Thanks, very much, Richard, and thanks, once again,
0:42:47 > 0:42:49to our winning players, Ian and Sian,
0:42:49 > 0:42:51who go away with today's jackpot of £6,250.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54- Very well done indeed. - I'm so chuffed. Thank you.
0:42:57 > 0:42:58Join us next time,
0:42:58 > 0:43:01when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08APPLAUSE
