0:00:17 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:23 > 0:00:25and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27the show where obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:27 > 0:00:29and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Hi, my name's Sarah, this is my husband Andy and we're from Leeds.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Couple number two.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Hi, my name's Ray, this is my mum Jean,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44and we're from Llandudno in North Wales.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Couple number three.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Gareth and this is Dave.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49We're work colleagues from South Wales.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51And finally couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Kerry, this is my partner Hannah,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56and we're from Stalybridge in Greater Manchester.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01APPLAUSE
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Thanks very much to all of you, a very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Great to have you here. We'll get to chat to each of you
0:01:05 > 0:01:07throughout the show, of course, as it goes along.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce,
0:01:10 > 0:01:14the sat nav guiding us away from stupidity via Leeds and Powys.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Hiya. Hello, everybody.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- Afternoon. Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Now, talking of Powys, we've got two pairs here from Wales,
0:01:25 > 0:01:29and we just sent another pair back to Wales with £6,250
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- in their back pockets, didn't we? - We have, yes.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Sian and Ian winning that jackpot in the last round
0:01:33 > 0:01:35on Queen songs, which is fantastic,
0:01:35 > 0:01:36and Nirvana songs, as well, didn't they?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38But they got two pointless answers.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41But two pairs returning from that show on our first two podiums,
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Sarah and Andy and Jean and Ray,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44who were knocked out in the first and second rounds.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46But we also, I happen to know,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49have a train driver versus a bus driver on today's show.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- I mean...- Finally, it happens.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54I know, right?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- That is pretty cool. - Like a dream come true.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00What do you reckon, train or bus?
0:02:00 > 0:02:01It's so hard, isn't it?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I love buses but I love trains as well.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Buses can go their own way,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08trains very much have to follow a preordained route.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Yes, that's true, but then trains often get replaced
0:02:11 > 0:02:13by a bus service, whereas buses never get replaced
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- by a train service.- That's true.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17There you go. OK.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Now, Ian and Sian won the jackpot last time,
0:02:20 > 0:02:24so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000, there it is.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Now, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33So, remember, the pair with the highest score
0:02:33 > 0:02:35at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38The pair with the highest score, so keep those scores nice and low.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40No conferring in the first two rounds as well.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Best of luck. Our first category today...
0:02:43 > 0:02:45..is capital cities, capital cities.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49who's going to go second?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58OK, so, our question concerns...
0:03:03 > 0:03:06European Union capital cities east of London, Richard.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Yeah, looking for the capital city of any country
0:03:08 > 0:03:10that's a member of the European Union
0:03:10 > 0:03:11that are east of London.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Essentially, we're going to show you a big map, though,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16which will firstly show you what countries are in the European Union,
0:03:16 > 0:03:18and secondly what we mean by east.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20We learn as we go along, don't we, Richard?
0:03:20 > 0:03:21- We do, yes.- We do.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23OK, so we're going to show you an image,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26let's have a look at that image. Here it comes.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Ah!
0:03:27 > 0:03:31So, essentially anything to the right of that line is east.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33So the capital cities of any of those countries
0:03:33 > 0:03:34that are coloured in blue,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37which are the EU member states.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38OK, thank you very much.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Now, Andy, welcome back.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40- Hi.- We had to say goodbye to you
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- at the end of the first round last time.- Yes.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- That won't be happening again. - I hope not.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48That won't be happening again. Andy, remind us what you do.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49- I'm a bus driver. - You're the bus driver.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Quite tough to be representing the whole bus driver community
0:03:55 > 0:03:58on the show today, up against your archrivals,
0:03:58 > 0:03:59the train drivers, there.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01But we're always on time.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Ooh.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Ooh!
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Wow, throwing down the gauntlet early, there, Andy!
0:04:10 > 0:04:12When you're not driving buses,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15remind us what you like getting up to.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18I like movies, I like cooking an awful lot.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20I also like playing a bit of Scrabble.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22When you say cooking an awful lot,
0:04:22 > 0:04:25a lot of leftovers, you mean, at the end of the...?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- Absolutely, yes.- Yes, now, that's the kind of cook I like.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30What do you like cooking, do you have a particular?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32I steer clear of baking quite often,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34because that's not my strong suit as far as cooking's concerned.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- Yes.- However, I do like cooking Oriental food.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Which particular kind?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43I make a mean fried rice.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44Very good indeed.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46I'm starving!
0:04:48 > 0:04:50You can have tea after this.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52We can have tea while we watch the news.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54OK.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Andy, what would you like to go for?
0:04:59 > 0:05:04I'm going to go for the capital city of Lithuania, Vilnius.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Vilnius says Andy.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Let's see how many of our 100 people said Vilnius.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12It's right.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Oh, it's a good answer, Andy, look at that, down it goes,
0:05:18 > 0:05:20still going down, 7, very well done indeed,
0:05:20 > 0:05:22what a fabulous start to the show.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26That's a very good start, Andy, well played.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Wouldn't want to be a train driver right about now!
0:05:30 > 0:05:32In Lithuania they don't have the Easter Bunny,
0:05:32 > 0:05:34they have the Easter Granny.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- That's sweet, isn't it? - That is sweet.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Kind of makes more sense as well.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Yes, I'm guessing the Easter Granny hops a bit less.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Yes, not so much, not so much hopping, yes.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Yeah.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Very nice. Very nice, yeah.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Yes. Jean, welcome back to pointless.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Now, remind us what you do, Jean.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55I'm, at the moment, looking after my granddaughter.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- Lovely.- So, she's 18 months and it's really nice looking after her.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Very nice indeed.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03She'll be watching right now, I think, in Llandudno.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Yes.- And what other things do you like to get up to?
0:06:06 > 0:06:07I like reading,
0:06:07 > 0:06:09I like walking because it's such a lovely place to walk around in.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Yeah.- And that's basically what I do, really.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Very nice indeed. Now, Jean, would you like to go for?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Capital cities east of London.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24I'm not really sure but I'm going for Valletta in Malta.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Valletta.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27All the Vs so far.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31OK, Vilnius and Valletta in Malta, let's see if that's right.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37It is right.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Oh, look at that, 5!
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Very well done indeed.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51That's another very good answer, yeah, isn't it?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54It was commissioned by a Pope, Valletta,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57who wanted it to be a fortress and a cultural masterpiece.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00It is - currently it's neither of those things, really,
0:07:00 > 0:07:01- but it's very nice. - Oh, well that's good.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Yeah.- Aim high. - Yeah, exactly, exactly that.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Aim high. There we are, thank you, Rich.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Now, David, warm welcome to you to Pointless.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10- Thank you. - What do you do, David?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12I'm a train driver instructor.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18That's fantastic.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Do you have a clipboard when you're driving and say...- Always.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24"I would like you to emergency brake"?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- I do sometimes, yeah. - That's exciting.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28The worst thing with being a train driver instructor
0:07:28 > 0:07:30is when they have to do the 3-point turn, right?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Yes.- That's true, yes!
0:07:32 > 0:07:34How long does it take to teach someone to drive a train?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Between the theory and practice before they're out on their own,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41probably around nine months or so.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I was looking for more like quarter of an hour!
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Ah, nine... Right, a lot there.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Plenty more to ask you about this David,
0:07:49 > 0:07:53but we must get on with the game. What are you going to go for?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56OK, following on from my bus driver friend, there...
0:07:58 > 0:08:03..I'm going to go for another Baltic state and say Tallinn.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Tallinn. OK, Tallinn says David.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Look at that, 11 for Tallinn.
0:08:20 > 0:08:2111 for Tallinn.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Bus drivers winning at this stage, David.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Yeah, it's a good answer.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Capital, as you say, of Estonia, there it is.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Very good answers so far.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- It's been really impressive so far, hasn't it?- Very impressive.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I mean, that's, yeah, that's good going.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37OK, Kerry, welcome to pointless.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Lovely to have you here. What do you do, Kerry?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I'm an ecologist.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43In what sphere?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46So, I do habitat surveys,
0:08:46 > 0:08:50wildlife surveys for housing developers.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51- Right.- When they're looking to build
0:08:51 > 0:08:54to try and enhance and maintain the wildlife.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Bats, I'm thinking, that's the thing we all have to be looking out for.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- Bats. Newts.- What else? Newts, that's the other one.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00- Badgers.- Badgers.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02You'll find me stood in a pond in the middle of the night
0:09:02 > 0:09:04up to my waist, that's generally what I do.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07There you go. And quite often you'll find these things.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Absolutely, yeah, yeah.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Yeah. And what are your interests outside the world of ecology?
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Well, a lot of my interests are related to that,
0:09:15 > 0:09:16so I really like the outdoors,
0:09:16 > 0:09:20so I go walking a lot, but then I like pub quizzes,
0:09:20 > 0:09:25reading, TV, so a general wide range of stuff, really.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Very good. How about travelling?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30How about travelling to countries east of the UK,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32but in the European Union?
0:09:32 > 0:09:37Yes, well, not my strongest point, this one,
0:09:37 > 0:09:41but I will go for a country that I have been to in the past
0:09:41 > 0:09:45when I went to visit Legoland as a child in Denmark,
0:09:45 > 0:09:46and I'll go Copenhagen.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Copenhagen says Kerry.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51OK, let's see how many of our 100 people said Copenhagen.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55There we are, it's right.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Well, 5's our low score,
0:09:57 > 0:09:5911 is our high.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Oh, 31.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Legoland you see, I blame that.
0:10:03 > 0:10:0531, a high score, there, for Copenhagen.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09You know they have no word for "please" in Danish?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Interesting. And they're a very polite people.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Oh, they're very polite, almost to a fault.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14But they don't have the word please,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17they would say "Thank you" instead of "please".
0:10:17 > 0:10:19There you go. OK, now, we're halfway through the round.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Well done Jean, the lowest score of that pass there.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Fantastic.
0:10:24 > 0:10:277, Andy and Sarah. 11, David and Gareth.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Then up to 31, Kerry and Hannah.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Hannah, we need a low score from you.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32- Yeah.- A low score. Good luck with that.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34We're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Could the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43OK, so Hannah, remember, we're looking for any capital city
0:10:43 > 0:10:45in the EU but east of London.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Welcome to Pointless, Hannah.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Thank you.- What do you do?
0:10:48 > 0:10:51I'm a speech and language therapist for children.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52Very good indeed.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54And how long have you done that for?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I think it's about 11 years.
0:10:57 > 0:10:5911, well, that's fun, because you've seen quite a lot of people
0:10:59 > 0:11:02go through and go on and achieve things linguistically.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Yeah, growing up, yeah, it's been really interesting.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Very satisfying.- Yeah. - And what are your hobbies, Hannah?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10We have games nights where we try and cook food
0:11:10 > 0:11:12from different countries,
0:11:12 > 0:11:15so we've just got all the world's countries in a hat
0:11:15 > 0:11:19and we pull out a country and then we have to cook their food.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21How long have they got to prepare?
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Oh, quite a long time, about a month.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24About a month, OK, so it's not quite like MasterChef.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Yeah, we don't do it there and then!
0:11:26 > 0:11:28You've got to use the contents of the fridge!
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- We might do that next! - That's quite fun, I mean,
0:11:30 > 0:11:32what have been the notable disasters of that?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Oh, it was an island country,
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I can't remember which one it was,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39but we did like a chilli and tuna soup.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Sounds delicious!
0:11:41 > 0:11:43It's not what it sounds like.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46No. Now, Hannah, you're on 31, you're the highest scorers.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- Yeah.- We need a low score from you.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Yeah, despite doing all that cooking and stuff,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I don't know very many capital cities, unfortunately.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57So, I'm just going to go Lisbon.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Lisbon says Hannah.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Let's see if it's right,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03let's see how many of our 100 people said Lisbon.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Bit of a murmur from our crowd there.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- I heard it!- No red line for you, I'm afraid, as you're the high-scorers.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Yes, I'm afraid it's not east.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Oh, no, it's not!
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I'm sorry, that's scored you 100 points, I'm sorry.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20There's a red line and everything!
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Can we go again?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25LAUGHTER
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Next show you can, yes!
0:12:28 > 0:12:29No geography, no red lines!
0:12:29 > 0:12:31131 is your total.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Yeah, I'm so sorry, Hannah, it is to the left of that.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- Yeah.- Never eat shredded wheat,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39and it's very much on the wheat side of things.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Thanks very much, Richard.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Now, Gareth, welcome to the show.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- A train driver.- Yes.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- And is David your teacher? - He was my teacher, yeah.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- For a while. - For the whole nine months?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51No, no, I had him for a couple of months.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Which side does David teach, which?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55He taught me where I was going.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Well, the track showed me more where I was going,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59but he sort of helped a bit.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02So, is he at your side as you go out for the first time?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Yeah, yeah.- That's got to be exciting, hasn't it?
0:13:04 > 0:13:05No!
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- Yeah!- And where are you driving now, which route do you drive?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13South Wales through the valleys,
0:13:13 > 0:13:17glamorous places like Merthyr Tydfil, Barry Island.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19I know, it's a dream, isn't it?
0:13:19 > 0:13:20But it is nice.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- It is a dream, isn't it? - It is a dream.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23There are very few people in the world
0:13:23 > 0:13:26who have jobs that people genuinely dreamt of doing. Yeah.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29And train driver, bus driver, they're one of them.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I would say ecologist, as well, funnily enough.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Those things where it's something that you have a passion for.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35People would kill to do that job.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37They wouldn't kill to do that job, that's ridiculous.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39People would love to do that job.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41They would love to do that job. Gareth, good news,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43you're through to the next round, doesn't matter what you score.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46But I think there's got to be a nice low-scoring one on there
0:13:46 > 0:13:47that you know.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Well, actually, it's not a good round for me
0:13:49 > 0:13:52because it involves knowing stuff, which is not always great,
0:13:52 > 0:13:57but I'm hoping this one will give us a good finish and I'll say Helsinki.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Helsinki. That can give a lovely finish, can't it, Helsinki?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Let's see that's right. No red line for you, you're already through.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Let's see how many people said it.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08It's right.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Not bad at all, Gareth, there we are, 18.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19Very well done. Takes your total up to 29.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Yeah, very well played, still very much advantage bus drivers so far
0:14:23 > 0:14:25in terms of the scores, but not a bad answer at all.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I've never met a Finnish person I didn't like.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Yeah, I've met a few, I've met a few Finns.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- They're all lovely, aren't they? - Yeah, I think they are.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35You know, Finns, I've never met a... I won't say that.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- You've never met...- I'm not going to talk about other countries.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Other countries. You're quite right.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42But there are quite a few other countries in that area
0:14:42 > 0:14:45where you will just meet 100% nice people.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- Yeah.- There you go. OK, now, Ray, great news for you as well,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51you're also through to the next round.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Remind us what you do, Ray.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I work in traffic management at the moment.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Traffic management. Whereabouts are you managing the traffic?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Just around sort of North Wales area,
0:15:00 > 0:15:02through to Chester and that sort of area.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- Wow.- Yes.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Presumably, today, that's just chaos, there.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10There are a few more people in the office...
0:15:10 > 0:15:12OK, another couple of guys there.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14OK, on the traffic management detail.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17We are not in everyone's good books, to be honest.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19What does that actually mean?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21This is traffic lights, designing systems?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Yes, sort of closing roads and things like that
0:15:23 > 0:15:26for utility companies. Yes, we can get on people's nerves.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Quite fun, isn't it? That's really fun.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Do you feel like you're God, as you look down on your systems?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Now you mention it, actually, I might look at it that way.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36That's not a bad way to look at it.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I think that's another career people would quite like, I think.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Yes, being in charge of closing roads.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Or just in charge of traffic lights, in fact.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45I would love to be in charge of traffic lights.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- As long as you could be there to watch.- Oh, man, oh, man.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Ray, what would you like to go for? You're through.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Yes, I've had a few in my head.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56And I'm glad there was 100 points there,
0:15:56 > 0:15:57because I wasn't too sure of them.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00But I'm hoping I'd just go with Stockholm.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Stockholm, says Ray.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- They're nice.- They are nice.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06They're nice. Let's see how many of our 100 said Stockholm.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08No red line, you are already through.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18There we go, 33 for Stockholm,
0:16:18 > 0:16:2038 your total.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24That's another very good answer.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26- There it is. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Pleasure. So, now, Sarah.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- Hi.- Sarah, remind us what you do.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33I'm a senior credit controller for a food manufacturing company.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37That is right. And you are sending food all over the place.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- Just within the UK, or...? - No, it's European as well.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Oh, to European capitals, I'll be bound.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46So you will have a good inside track on this.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Well, no.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Oh. Only the foodie capitals.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Yes, obviously. - Now, Sarah, there you are on 7,
0:16:53 > 0:16:57doesn't matter what you score. What would you like to go for?
0:16:57 > 0:16:58I was going to go for Valletta,
0:16:58 > 0:17:01and then I was going to go for Helsinki,
0:17:01 > 0:17:04so I will go for Reykjavik.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Reykjavik, says Sarah.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07OK, let's see if that's right,
0:17:07 > 0:17:09let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15No, I'm afraid it is not in the EU.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Scores you 100 points.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Takes your total up to 107.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20EU - and it's the other side of the red line.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Oh, and it's the other side of the red line.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23It is very much in the Lisbon side of the line.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Very much, you're right.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Again, all Icelandic people tend to be lovely.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29They do. Norwegians, they are the people I was thinking of.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- Yes, I knew you were.- I love... - You love Norwegians.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Yes. Now, there's no pointless answers at all.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37So we've had some very, very good scoring in this round.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39The best answer you could have given us is Ljubljana,
0:17:39 > 0:17:41which is the capital of Slovenia.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Would have scored you 3 points.
0:17:42 > 0:17:474 points for Nicosia and Zagreb, Croatia and Cyprus.
0:17:47 > 0:17:505 points for Bratislava, which is Slovakia.
0:17:50 > 0:17:547 points for Bucharest, which is Romania.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Sofia would have scored you 10 points,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58as would have Luxembourg and Riga.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01So those are all the low scorers, well done if you said any of those.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03The top three scorers, let's take a look.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16So, at the end of our first round, the pair we have to say goodbye to,
0:18:16 > 0:18:18with their high score of 131,
0:18:18 > 0:18:21I'm sorry, Hannah and Kerry, it is you.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25But we will see you again next time, I'm sure you'll go much further.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Thanks for playing. Kerry and Hannah.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28Thank you.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Look at that, we are down to three pairs.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44At the end of this round, we will be down to two.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46But, Andy, Jean, very well done.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Our notable low scorers in that round.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51But everybody did OK. We made it through.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53So, very well done. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Our category for Round Two today...
0:18:56 > 0:18:57is authors. Authors.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:19:00 > 0:19:01who's going to go second?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08OK, and the question concerns...
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- Richard.- On each board we are going to show you
0:19:13 > 0:19:16the first published novel by six famous authors.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18We just need you to tell us the name of the author, please.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20There's going to be six on each board,
0:19:20 > 0:19:2112 in all to have a go at at home. Good luck.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24OK, so we're looking for the authors of these debut novels,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26and here's our first board of six. We've got...
0:19:38 > 0:19:39I'll read those one last time.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53Sarah.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Harper Lee, says Sarah, for To Kill A Mockingbird.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Not bad, 47.
0:20:11 > 0:20:1347 for Harper Lee.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Yes, she was able to commit to writing that book
0:20:15 > 0:20:18because two of her friends had such faith in her talent,
0:20:18 > 0:20:21as a Christmas present they gave her enough money to write for a year.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- Isn't that lovely?- That's nice. - Yeah.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26I assume they made that money back.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30I would hope maybe they got a little Christmas present themselves
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- next year.- You would hope so. What if she just didn't?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Didn't pay them back.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36"I don't really see them so much any more."
0:20:36 > 0:20:39A signed copy should do it, I should think.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Ray.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- Yes.- Now, that's a brave smile.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46It's not the easiest board, is it?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49No, I'm not a big reader, if I'm being honest.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Unless it's probably about football or the newspaper or something.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Or traffic, Ray.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Traffic. That's a good point.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59It's a complete guess.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Sense and Sensibility...
0:21:06 > 0:21:07..Jane Austen.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Why not? Let's just try it.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Jane Austen. How many people said that?
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Is it right?
0:21:17 > 0:21:18It is absolutely right.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Jane Austen it is.
0:21:20 > 0:21:2362, not bad, as well.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Gets you quite a way down the column. 62.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Yes, well played. She'd finished the original versions
0:21:28 > 0:21:30of Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice
0:21:30 > 0:21:33and Northanger Abbey by the time she was 23 years old.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34I know, it's quite annoying.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Yes, it's a bit annoying.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Anyway, thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Now, David, this board is all yours.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Talk us through it.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44I wish I could.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48I wish I could give you any one of them there, but I can't.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52I don't have any of them. The two already given I knew,
0:21:52 > 0:21:54but I don't know any of the others.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57How far out of the station, David, do I start slowing?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Well, you speed up when you leave the station normally.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03No, no, before I come into the station, David.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Depends how fast you're going, really.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Oh, David!
0:22:07 > 0:22:09I can see why it takes nine months!
0:22:09 > 0:22:12LAUGHTER
0:22:12 > 0:22:15OK, David, what would you like to go for?
0:22:17 > 0:22:21It's a name plucked out of thin air, I've got no idea.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Martin James.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27The name is good. Which title do you want to attach it to?
0:22:27 > 0:22:31The most recent one, The Secret History.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33The Secret History, Martin James.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Let's see what happens when we say that to the column.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40There's a surprise.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Sorry, David, not Martin James.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44That scores you 100 pints.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Yes, it is a tough board, especially with those two taken off it.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52The Dying of the Light is very, very much more famous
0:22:52 > 0:22:54for another series of books.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57But that was the first book by George RR Martin,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59the Game of Thrones author.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Very well done if you knew that, 3 points.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04The Thomas Berryman Number is James Patterson.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05One of the great thriller writers.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08That would have scored 5. These two are wonderful books.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11The Secret History is Donna Tartt.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Really, really worth reading that, 6 points for that.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14- And The Wasp Factory.- Iain Banks.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16The wonderful Iain Banks.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18And that would have scored 15.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Fabulous. Thank you much indeed.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22OK, we're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:23:22 > 0:23:2447 the best score of that pass.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25Very high-scoring round.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27They were tough.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29But, yes, very well done, Ray.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Ray and Jean kept in the game there by Ray's last-minute,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35pluck out of thin air for Jane Austen.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Then David and Gareth, I'm sorry, up there at 100.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40So, yes, Gareth, we need a very nice low-scoring answer from you.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Let's hope the next board is a little bit kinder
0:23:42 > 0:23:43than that one was to you.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45We are going to come back down the line.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:23:50 > 0:23:53OK, we are going to put six more first novels up on the board,
0:23:53 > 0:23:55and here they are. We've got...
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Here they come again.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22Gareth.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25It's unfortunate, because I knew Iain Banks on the last one.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- I know, nice fella.- Yeah.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31This is awful, though.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34There's only one that I actually know.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38But we've just got to get one right, just to save...
0:24:38 > 0:24:40It might be the only one everyone else knows.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42That's true.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45So I'm going to go with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
0:24:45 > 0:24:46and JK Rowling.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47JK Rowling, says Gareth.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49No red line for you as you are the high-scorers.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51How many people said JK Rowling?
0:24:54 > 0:24:55It's right. 79.
0:24:59 > 0:25:0179.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03179 is your total.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Yes, JK Rowling,
0:25:04 > 0:25:08she has since written follow-up books with the same character.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12- Yes. - The character Harry Potter.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Oh, he returns, comes back for more?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17She wrote other books with him as a character.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20He is, I think he's an accountant.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21Oh, that does sound good.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23It does sound good, thank you.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24Now then, Jean.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I know absolutely none of these.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31What I'm going to do is say Brad Pitt, Fight Club,
0:25:31 > 0:25:32because he was in it.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Maybe he wrote the book as well.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Shall we find out? Let's see, Brad Pitt.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Brad Pitt.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- No.- That's a surprise!
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Listen, the good news is, it doesn't matter.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50You're through anyway. I should have said,
0:25:50 > 0:25:52there was no red line for that reason,
0:25:52 > 0:25:54but there you are, 162 is your total.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Yes, he's talented, Brad Pitt, but not that talented.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Thanks very much indeed. Now, Andy, you are also through, by the way.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Which I'm so pleased at.
0:26:03 > 0:26:09Fantastic. I'm no good at literature whatsoever.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12So I can't talk you through any of the board.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16I obviously knew JK Rowling, I'll just have to take a guess.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22And I would say The Mysterious Affair at Styles,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Charlotte Bronte.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Charlotte Bronte, says Andy.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30No red line. Let's see what happens when we say Charlotte Bronte.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34There we are, another 100.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36It's been a good round, this, hasn't it?
0:26:36 > 0:26:40- Hasn't it just? - That takes your total up to 147.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41Look at those scores.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42If Charlotte Bronte had written it in 1920,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45it would have been a very mysterious affair, I suspect!
0:26:45 > 0:26:48You will know this one. This is the one I think you could guess maybe.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51It's Agatha Christie. Agatha Christie wrote that.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Would have scored 14 points.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55Watership Down.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Richard Adams.- Richard Adams.
0:26:58 > 0:26:5918 points for that.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Divergent.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Some of our younger types will know this one.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Veronica Roth was the answer to that.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Very well done if you said that.
0:27:07 > 0:27:118 points. Fight Club is Chuck Palahniuk.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14He's an unbelievably wonderful writer, Chuck Palahniuk.
0:27:14 > 0:27:175 points for that. And Looking for Alaska, again another one,
0:27:17 > 0:27:19is massive among teen audience.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21It is John Green.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23So, well done if you said that. 6 points.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25So, Chuck Palahniuk is the best answer there.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28So, at the end of our second round,
0:27:28 > 0:27:31the pair we send home with their high score of 179,
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Gareth and David, I'm afraid it is you.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35But we will see you again next time, as you said, Gareth.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37We will look forward to that very much indeed.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40But I'm sure you will go much further. But in the meantime,
0:27:40 > 0:27:42thank you very much, Gareth and David.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Congratulations Jean and Ray, Sarah and Andy,
0:27:53 > 0:27:56you're now one step closer to the final
0:27:56 > 0:27:57and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:27:57 > 0:28:00which is currently standing at £1,000.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01We've made it to the head-to-head,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03which means you're now allowed to confer
0:28:03 > 0:28:04before giving your answers.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:07 > 0:28:08So two returning pairs,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11but neither pair has been in the head-to-head before
0:28:11 > 0:28:13so we are in uncharted waters.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Anything could happen. The very best of luck to both pairs,
0:28:16 > 0:28:17let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24Here is your first question.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29And it is all about returning wildlife.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Returning wildlife, Richard.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Every time you go to a shop and you buy an animal
0:28:33 > 0:28:35and there's something wrong with it...
0:28:35 > 0:28:38It's not that at all, we're going to show you five pictures
0:28:38 > 0:28:41of animals that have made a comeback -
0:28:41 > 0:28:43their numbers have increased in the UK or in continental Europe,
0:28:43 > 0:28:46and you have to give us the most obscure answer you can.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49It's an uplifting thing to be talking about, isn't it?
0:28:49 > 0:28:54How nice, let's reveal our five returning wildlife representatives.
0:28:54 > 0:28:55Here they are.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57We've got...
0:29:17 > 0:29:18There we go.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Five returning species.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Jean and Ray, you're our low scorers, so you go first.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34We'll go for D. Red kite.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36OK, red kite say Jean and Ray. Red kite.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Now, Sarah and Andy...
0:29:39 > 0:29:42You can talk out loud, do all your reasoning out loud if you like.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45So we think A is a beaver.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Not sure about B.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Is it a kookaburra? I don't know.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52C is a Sun Eagle.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54And is E Lemur?
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Lemur, possibly.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59that's probably easy to guess, isn't it?
0:29:59 > 0:30:03So Sun Eagle because beaver will be too high.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- Sun Eagle, C.- Sun eagle for C.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08So we have red kite and sun eagle.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Jean and Ray have gone for red kite let's see if that's right for D.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Let's see how many people said it.
0:30:19 > 0:30:2150.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23APPLAUSE
0:30:23 > 0:30:2550 for red kite.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29Now Sarah and Andy have gone for sun eagle for C.
0:30:29 > 0:30:30Let's see if that's right,
0:30:30 > 0:30:33let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Bad luck. Not a sun eagle, which means, Jean and Ray, well done.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41After one question you're up 1-0.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Well played Jean and Ray, not a sun eagle.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Introduced to Scotland 40 years ago... Reintroduced.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- Sea Eagle?- Sea eagle yeah, over 100 breeding pairs now,
0:30:49 > 0:30:51including the first ones on Orkney recently as well.
0:30:51 > 0:30:5356 points for that.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55A is the beaver.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Would have scored you 78 points.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02B is the corncrake.
0:31:04 > 0:31:0610 points for that.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08There are lots of different types of corncrakes,
0:31:08 > 0:31:11the rarest is the Crunchy Nut Corncrake.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12LAUGHTER
0:31:16 > 0:31:20And E is the Lynx.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21And that would have scored 66 points.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Beautiful, isn't it, the Lynx?
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Isn't it? Thanks very much, Richard.
0:31:26 > 0:31:27Here comes your second question,
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Sarah and Andy, you get to answer this first,
0:31:29 > 0:31:31but you have to win it to stay in the game.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Best of luck. Our second question is all about...
0:31:34 > 0:31:35famous homes and gardens.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Famous homes and gardens, Richard.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Yeah, just going to show you five clues now
0:31:39 > 0:31:41to real and fictional famous homes and gardens.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Can they give us the most obscure answer?
0:31:43 > 0:31:47Thanks very much, let's reveal the clues, here they come.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10I'll read them one more time.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Sarah and Andy will go first.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41OK, we're going to go with the author of The Secret Garden
0:32:41 > 0:32:43as AA Milne.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47AA Milne says Sarah and Andy. OK.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Jean and Ray, do you want to talk us through that board?
0:32:50 > 0:32:52There's only two we know and that's Graceland,
0:32:52 > 0:32:54obviously for Elvis Presley
0:32:54 > 0:32:58and Beckingham Palace for Posh and Becks.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Which would you like to go for?
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Graceland.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Yeah, is that all right?
0:33:06 > 0:33:08What do you want to go for?
0:33:08 > 0:33:10It's all right, he has to do what I say, you see?
0:33:10 > 0:33:12What would you like to go for?
0:33:12 > 0:33:16- Ray, you choose. - Shall I choose? OK, then.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Let's go with Graceland.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20LAUGHTER OK, there we are.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23So we have AA Milne and we have Graceland.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Sarah and Andy said AA Milne, let's see if that's right.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33No, I'm afraid not AA Milne.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Jean and Ray have gone for Graceland, Elvis Presley's mansion,
0:33:36 > 0:33:38let's see if that's right.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40All it has to be, by the way, is right and you'll win the point.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45It is right, very well done.
0:33:45 > 0:33:4675 for Graceland.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49But the key thing is, it was right. It wins you the point.
0:33:49 > 0:33:50It means that after only two questions,
0:33:50 > 0:33:52you're straight through to the final 2-0.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54- Very well done.- Straight through.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Beckingham Palace would have been a much better answer.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59It would have scored you 45 points, Beckingham Palace.
0:33:59 > 0:34:04They reportedly sold it in 2014 for £11.4 million.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06That's a lot of money for a house, isn't it?
0:34:06 > 0:34:08- That's a lot. - It must be a big house, I think.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10I think they did quite a lot to it, didn't they?
0:34:10 > 0:34:12They would have had to have done. I assume they would have...
0:34:12 > 0:34:14It has an underground airport.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16I believe it does.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Now the author of the 1911 novel secret Garden is...
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- Frances Hodgson Burnett?- Correct.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27That would've scored 11 points.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31- To the bottom, the London royal park is...- Regent's park.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Would've scored you 8.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35This is a pointless answer, the botanical garden.
0:34:35 > 0:34:40It is the Majorelle Garden in Morocco.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Thanks very much indeed, so the pair leaving us
0:34:42 > 0:34:45at the head-to-head round, I'm afraid, Sarah and Andy.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48We didn't really serve you up good categories there, did we?
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Not ones you particularly liked, but there we are.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52You've done very well this show.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54It's been great having you on both shows,
0:34:54 > 0:34:56and you've come all the way to the head-to-head.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57I'm sorry you didn't get to go a step further.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Thank you so much for playing. Sarah and Andy.
0:34:59 > 0:35:00- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06Right for Jean and Ray it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Congratulations, Jean and Ray.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14You have seen off all the competition,
0:35:14 > 0:35:16and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing still at £1,000.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Well, very well done.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33You'll be going back to Llandudno with a trophy apiece,
0:35:33 > 0:35:35which is fabulous.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37You come back with your spoils from Pointless.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40That's all my mum wanted, was a trophy, so she's happy.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42You always have a chance to win this jackpot, let's not forget.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45What would you like to see come up?
0:35:45 > 0:35:48I'd say probably a sport, football sort of category for me.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53Certain types of music and television.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56- Things like that, really.- Fingers crossed.- Or children's television.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Exactly, children's television.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Let's hope there's something you like the look of on the board today.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Today the selection looks like this. We've got...
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Well, the only thing, I suppose, would be modern rock groups.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18I don't know anything about golf.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19I know a bit about golf.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- Do you want to go golf? - Not too much.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23- Are you more confident on modern rock groups?- No.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25- We'll go golf, then. - Let's go with golf.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28OK, I think golf is maybe the category we've given away
0:36:28 > 0:36:29the Pointless jackpot most often on.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32It's one of those ones where if you know it, you know it,
0:36:32 > 0:36:33so fingers crossed for you.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35This is what we're looking for -
0:36:35 > 0:36:38any man who won a golf major during the 1960s,
0:36:38 > 0:36:41any man who won a golf major during the 1980s,
0:36:41 > 0:36:43or any man who won a golf major during the 2000s, please.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45That's the Masters, the British Open,
0:36:45 > 0:36:47the US Open and the US PGA.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50So any man who won a golf major in the '60s, '80s or 2000s.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52- Very best of luck.- Thanks very much.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:36:54 > 0:36:56to come up with three answers, and all you need to win the jackpot
0:36:56 > 0:36:59is for just one of your answers to the pointless. Are you ready?
0:36:59 > 0:37:02- Yes.- Thank you.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Your time starts now.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- Ernie Els, is he a golfer? - Ernie Els is golfer, yes.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11I know that one. Obviously there's people like Nick Faldo.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12But he's pretty...
0:37:12 > 0:37:16And what's the Spanish guy? The one that died...
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- My mind has gone completely blank. - Seve Ballesteros.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Seve Ballesteros, we could try that one.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23And 2000s?
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Maybe try Lee Westwood, Rory McIlroy...
0:37:25 > 0:37:29Who's the blond-haired bloke, who married Chris Evert?
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- I don't know who she is. - She's a tennis player.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32OK.
0:37:32 > 0:37:38So I would probably say if we go with maybe Seve Ballesteros.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40- Try that one. - Ernie Els, because I said it.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44All right, then. And maybe try Lee Westwood because...
0:37:46 > 0:37:51- ..they might not think of that if he has won a major.- OK.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- Ten seconds. - I can't think of anyone else now.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58I'm thinking more modern ones, but...
0:37:58 > 0:38:01I think he'd sort of be quite high anyway.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Everyone remembers him.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05- Shall we go for that? - OK, that is your time up.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07I need your three answers and if you can say which category,
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- which decade, you're speaking about. - So, we'll go...
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Is it Ernie Els 1960s?
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- Was he?- I don't know.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Well, we'll say Ernie Els 1960s.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- Ernie Els.- Seve Ballesteros, 1980s.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- Seve Ballesteros. - Lee Westwood, 2000s.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Lee Westwood. Now, of those three,
0:38:25 > 0:38:27which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- Lee Westwood. - Lee Westwood we put last.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- Ernie Els.- Ernie Els we put first.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36- OK.- And here they are.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39We have got Ernie Els, we've got Seve Ballesteros,
0:38:39 > 0:38:41and we have got Lee Westwood.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Well, very best of luck.
0:38:43 > 0:38:44Three answers on the board.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Any one of those could turn out to be pointless
0:38:46 > 0:38:48and win you that jackpot of £1,000.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50What would you do with it if you won? Jean, you first?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Well, we all go off to Center Parcs in September as a family,
0:38:53 > 0:38:56so I think I'd put it towards that so we can do a few more things.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Very nice. Ray, how about you?
0:38:58 > 0:39:01I'm planning on getting married next year, so...
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Hang on, does the other person know about this?
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Not yet, no. I'll write her a letter after the show.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- And then hopefully she'll accept. - Seriously?- No, no, she knows.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Oh, I was going to say, that would be so romantic...
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Slightly controlling. But there we are.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Well, listen - very, very, very best of luck.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Best of luck with all those lovely things anyway.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19But wouldn't it be a bonus if you could,
0:39:19 > 0:39:21if you could fund it a little bit with this?
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Your first answer was Ernie Els.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26In this case we were looking for golf major winners in the 1960s.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28It has to be pointless for you to win.
0:39:28 > 0:39:29So let's find out, for £1,000,
0:39:29 > 0:39:32how many of our 100 people said Ernie Els?
0:39:36 > 0:39:38I'm afraid an incorrect answer.
0:39:38 > 0:39:39Not for that decade.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42So, only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Your next answer was Seve Ballesteros.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49In this case we were looking for golf major winners from the 1980s.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Let's find out, Seve Ballesteros, how many people said it?
0:39:52 > 0:39:54For £1,000, is it pointless?
0:39:57 > 0:39:59It's right.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00Well, Ernie Els, I'm afraid,
0:40:00 > 0:40:04was an incorrect answer for our first answer that you gave.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06But Seve Ballesteros, absolutely right this time.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Down it goes, through the 20s...
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Oh. Stopping at 20.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Which means you only have one more shot at today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20It could be yours if Lee Westwood
0:40:20 > 0:40:22turns out to be a pointless answer.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25In this case we were looking for men's golf major winners
0:40:25 > 0:40:26from the 2000s.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Let's find out, for £1,000, how many people said Lee Westwood?
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Oh, bad luck! Oh, well...
0:40:43 > 0:40:44You didn't do badly.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47You came up with three answers, which is always a relief, anyway.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Sadly, though, none of them turned out to be pointless.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52So I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54That will roll over on to the next show.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56But it's been great having you on both shows,
0:40:56 > 0:40:59and wonderful to see you go all the way through to the final this time.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01And you get a Pointless trophy each to take home.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03- Brilliant.- So very well done. Jean and Ray.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Yeah, unlucky. At time of recording,
0:41:09 > 0:41:10Lee Westwood never won a major, I'm afraid.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13He's been close a number of times, he's never won one.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14Ernie Els didn't win a major in the '60s.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17He was born in 1969, so he would have been...
0:41:17 > 0:41:19He would have been going it some!
0:41:19 > 0:41:23He did win majors in the '90s and in the noughties and in the 2010s.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Wouldn't have been pointless answer for the noughties though,
0:41:25 > 0:41:27it would have scored you 3 points.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Now let's take a look. We'll start with our 1960s ones.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Bobby Nichols. Bob Charles, first New Zealand to win a major.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Ken Venturi. Ray Floyd.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Ray Floyd also a pointless answer for the '80s.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41That's the thing with golfers, they have such long careers.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42Loads of other pointless answers,
0:41:42 > 0:41:44in fact the only ones that weren't pointless
0:41:44 > 0:41:46for the '60s major winners were Jacklin, Palmer, Nicklaus,
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Gary Player and Lee Trevino.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Now, let's take a look at the '80s.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Again, loads of very big names here.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Curtis Strange won the US Open two years in a row.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Fuzzy Zoeller won the US Open in the '80s.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Mark Calcavecchia won the British Open.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Tom Watson is a pointless answer.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04He won five major titles in the 1980s, Tom Watson.
0:42:04 > 0:42:05You also could have had Andy North,
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Ben Crenshaw, Bob Tway, Craig Stadler,
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Hubert Green, Jeff Sluman, Larry Myers, you could have had.
0:42:10 > 0:42:11I bet some people would've said him.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Scott Simpson, Payne Stewart you could have had, as well.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Would have been a terrific answer.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Let's look at the noughties now.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Again, some names you're going to know here.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Angel Cabrera, the Argentinian.
0:42:22 > 0:42:23Retief Goosen, the South African.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Stewart Cink, who won that famous play-off
0:42:25 > 0:42:29against a 60-plus Tom Watson to win the Open.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Trevor Immelman, the South African.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34The only ones that score points for the noughties were Tiger Woods,
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Vijay Singh, and Padraig Harrington.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Could have had Ben Curtis, Geoff Ogilvy, Jim Furyk, Rich Beam,
0:42:40 > 0:42:41Todd Hamilton, Zach Johnson.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Lots and lots of pointless answers out there,
0:42:43 > 0:42:45so very well done if you got any of them at home.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50So, Jean and Ray very sadly didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:50 > 0:42:52which means it rolls over on to the next show
0:42:52 > 0:42:54when we will be playing for £2,000.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
