0:00:14 > 0:00:17APPLAUSE
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 that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33APPLAUSE
0:00:33 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37I'm David, this is Gareth,
0:00:37 > 0:00:39and we're both work colleagues from South Wales.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Couple number two.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Hi, I'm Hannah, this is Kerry, my partner,
0:00:43 > 0:00:45and we're from Stalybridge in Greater Manchester.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Couple number three.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Bob, and this is my silver partner, Graham,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51and we're from Newmilns in East Ayrshire.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And finally, couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Eileen, this is my daughter Martina,
0:00:56 > 0:01:00- and we're from London. - These are today's contestants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02APPLAUSE
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Thanks very much, all of you. A very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08We'll chat to each of you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13As wise as an owl, as cunning as a fox
0:01:13 > 0:01:17and as terrifying as a cross between those two animals would be,
0:01:17 > 0:01:19if you can imagine, my Pointless friend, it is Richard.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Hiya. Hey, everybody. Afternoon.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25APPLAUSE
0:01:25 > 0:01:28I think a cross between an owl and a fox would be quite cute,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- don't you think?- Uh-uh.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33A fox that could turn its head round 360 degrees would be quite scary.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Depends which bits you're mixing, Richard, that's the thing.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- But a fox that hooted would be nice. - Are you crazy? A hooting fox?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Yeah, a hooting fox.- The stuff of nightmares.- You think?- Yes!
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Imagine it hooting with mirth. Hoo-ha-ha!
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Now, first two podiums, we have returners,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52but they got knocked out in Round One and Round Two last time.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55On podium one, very coy when they say work colleagues.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Not just work colleagues. Train driver and train driver instructor.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04I mean, I know, right. And welcome to our two new pairs as well.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- It should be a lot of fun, this show.- Fabulous. Let's find out.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Thank you very much indeed.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Jean and Ray didn't win the jackpot last rime,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13which is exciting. That means we add another £1,000 to it,
0:02:13 > 0:02:15so today's jackpot starts off at £2,000. There we are.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18APPLAUSE
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23APPLAUSE
0:02:26 > 0:02:29All you have to remember is the pair with the highest score
0:02:29 > 0:02:32at the end of each round will be eliminated. That is it.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34That's the only rule. Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Our first category today is...
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Marine life.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Richard.- It's not hugely different to marine life, fish.- Not really.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00But there are other bits of marine life.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03On each board, we're going to show you seven clues to types of fish.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05You just need the name of the fish.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Seven on each board, fourteen in all to have a go at home.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11So, we're looking for the types of fish described by these clues
0:03:11 > 0:03:13and here's our first board of seven.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I'll read those all again.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- Gareth, welcome back to Pointless. - Thank you.- On podium one, this time.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- Remind us what it is you do, Gareth. - I'm a train driver.- A train driver.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- Yeah.- That's it. In Wales.- Yeah. - Taught by David.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- You brought your supervisor along, your instructor.- My sensei.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Ah, amazing! What type of train do you drive at the moment?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- Very little local passenger trains. - So, diesel.- Yeah.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41And do you have the skill,
0:04:41 > 0:04:44thanks to the excellent teaching of David, to drive all kinds of trains?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I have the skill to drive, cos I drove them before I moved to Wales,
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- to help their railway network out a bit with MY skills.- Wow!
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- So their schedules are now just hotting up now you're there.- Yeah.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57People are arriving days before they were expecting to.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- LAUGHTER - After.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- Oh, right. Now, Gareth, how do we feel about fish?- I hate fish!
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Ah, especially now. What are you going to go for, Gareth?
0:05:07 > 0:05:12I think the misleading common name for the Indian fish, the bummalo,
0:05:12 > 0:05:18- might be a Bombay duck. - Bombay duck? Interesting.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I see what you're saying. Yeah, let's see if that's right.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21That would be a great answer.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24How many of our 100 people said Bombay duck? Is it right?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28It is right!
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Well done, Gareth. I think this may be a spectacular start to the show.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36And it is! 11 points for Bombay duck.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38APPLAUSE
0:05:38 > 0:05:40That's a great answer, Gareth. Well done for going for it too.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Even better, do you know one of the theories
0:05:43 > 0:05:44- why it's called Bombay duck?- No.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47It's named after a train that it used to be transported on.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Genuinely, it used to be transported on a train
0:05:49 > 0:05:52called the Bombay Daak, which is the Hindi for "mail",
0:05:52 > 0:05:55so it was on the mail train, and it was called the Bombay duck.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Oh, that's just so perfect! It's like a Celtic knot.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- It's beautiful, isn't it?- Ha! Thanks very much indeed.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Now, Hannah.- Hi. - Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Remind us what you do, Hannah.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- I'm a speech and language therapist with children.- That's right.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- And what are your interests, Hannah? - I like musicals.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14I like to go and see musicals and listen to that music all the time.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Do you travel up to London or do you go and see musicals all over?
0:06:17 > 0:06:21They come to Manchester quite a lot, so we go to them quite a lot.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25- Good touring shows.- Yeah, really good. Saw Chicago last time.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- And do you have a favourite musical? - Ooh, it's a tricky one.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- Maybe Les Mis.- Les Mis. You've been to see that.- Yeah, that was amazing.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- Yeah.- But I like Mary Poppins as well.- There you are.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- Anyway, Hannah, what would you like to go for?- Um...
0:06:42 > 0:06:46I think I'll go for the Pixar film and say clownfish.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Clownfish, says Hannah.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Let's see if that's right and how many people said clownfish.
0:06:55 > 0:06:5811 is our only score at this stage.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Ooh!- 38 for clownfish. APPLAUSE
0:07:02 > 0:07:04That's another good answer.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07They famously move in with anemones and they have to touch every part
0:07:07 > 0:07:10of their bodies with the tentacles to acclimatise themselves.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Also, they wear very big shoes.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15LAUGHTER Ah.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Thank you very much, Richard.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Now, Bob, a warm welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25- What do you do, Bob?- I'm retired, Xander.- How nice. What did you do?
0:07:25 > 0:07:29I worked in a bank for 26 years and then I ran a decorator's merchants.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33That's quite a change of direction. Where was the decorator's merchants?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- On the Isle of Wight. - Wow, and then up to Ayrshire.- Yeah.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- You're flitting about, Bob.- I am. - This is wonderful.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- But you have now settled in Ayrshire.- Correct.- Lovely.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45And what sort of things do you like spending your retirement doing?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I'm learning to speak Scottish...
0:07:47 > 0:07:49LAUGHTER
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Because "I" is pronounced "E".
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Fish and chips is now fesh and cheps.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Oh, that IS good. I don't know what he said there.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Fish and chips, but then... - It was something.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Something in Scottish and it was just...whoo. That's wonderful.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Now, Bob, what would you like to go for?
0:08:04 > 0:08:08I'd like to go for the cold water fish
0:08:08 > 0:08:11that gives its name to a Cape in Massachusetts
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- and that's Cape Cod. - Cape Cod, says Bob. Cod.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Let's if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23It is Cape Cod. 38 is our h...
0:08:23 > 0:08:25No, it's not. 76 is our high score.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26APPLAUSE There we are.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28A good answer, but so good,
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- 76 people liked it. - I know. Cape Cod.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34It was named by an English explorer called Bartholomew Gosnold.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Why, in the name of God, didn't they call it Cape Gosnold?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- I think he probably thought that was a bit too...- Bit showy.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- A bit showy, exactly. - Thanks very much.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Now then, Eileen, a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- Lovely to have you here. What do you do, Eileen?- I'm retired now too.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50I used to be a housing executive.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53What sort of things did you do as a housing executive?
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Managed properties, people, people's lives, people's properties.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59What do you like doing now, Eileen?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I love gardening, I love cooking,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05I love looking after my grandchild,
0:09:05 > 0:09:10- Um, I love going to the sauna, swimming.- Lovely.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13In over 1,000 shows, that's the first time anyone's said,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15"I love going to the sauna." Brilliant!
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Eileen, this board is all yours.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19If you want to fill in all the as yet unnamed fish,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22you'd be extremely welcome.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Um, or not, as the case may be.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Um, is there such thing as a pilchard
0:09:27 > 0:09:29which is made in stargazey pie?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31I don't know,
0:09:31 > 0:09:36but I'm going to go for the great white shark
0:09:36 > 0:09:40of the Spielberg thriller.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Right, OK, GWS, great white shark.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Not George Wernard Shaw, as I thought it might have been.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Er, how many of our 100 people said great white shark?
0:09:54 > 0:09:5852. Not bad at all. 52 for great white shark, Eileen.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- APPLAUSE - Well done, Eileen.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Could have made yourself much safer if you'd said pilchard, actually,
0:10:04 > 0:10:07cos it's absolutely right. The pilchard in stargazey pie
0:10:07 > 0:10:09and that would have scored you 26 points.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11A pilchard, essentially, is just a sardine,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14but any sardine that's longer than six inches is a pilchard.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Ah, that's good.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Now, let's fill in the last two then. The man's hairstyle is...?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Mullet.- A mullet. That would have scored 62.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24And Gerry Anderson's show?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- Stingray.- Stingray, absolutely.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28That would have score 18.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30So, the best answer on the board, Gareth, is Bombay duck.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Very well played.- Very good indeed. We're halfway through the round.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Let's look at those scores.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Gareth, well done. 11, the lowest score of the pass.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Very well done to you.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Then up to 38, where we find Hannah and Kerry.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Then up to 52, Eileen and Martina.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48And then all the way up to 76, Bob and Graham.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Graham, let's hope you know your fish,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53cos we need a low score from you in the next pass, please.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01OK, let's put seven more types of fish up on the board
0:11:01 > 0:11:02and here they are.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I'll read those again.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07We made it. LAUGHTER
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Martina, welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- What do you do, Martina? - I, like my mum, I work...
0:12:13 > 0:12:16I like your mum too, I have to say! I think she's brilliant!
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I have to say that. I love my mum.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22I work in social housing as a village manager.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Did you work with your mum? - I didn't and, surprisingly,
0:12:25 > 0:12:27though my mum's worked in social housing all these years,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30I never thought I'd go into the profession of social housing.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32You grew up knowing all about social housing.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Yeah, the social housing profession, so...
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Did you know some people by repute when you started working there?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Um, in the business, yes,
0:12:39 > 0:12:41but not in the organisation that I work for now,
0:12:41 > 0:12:43so I have heard, "Are you Eileen's daughter?"
0:12:43 > 0:12:46And I say, "That's me." So, hopefully it's a good thing.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- Excellent. Now, Martina, you're on 52.- We are.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51The high-scorers, Bob and Graham, are on 76,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53so 23 or less gets you through.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Mm, I know a few of them, but the one I'm going for is C,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59the fish name used to describe tricking someone
0:12:59 > 0:13:01with a fictional online persona,
0:13:01 > 0:13:03and I'm going to go for catfish.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Catfish, says Martina. Catfish. Here's your red line.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09If you get below that with catfish, you are into the next round.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11How many of our 100 people said it?
0:13:14 > 0:13:15- It's right.- It's right.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Yes!- Very well done, Martina, look at that. 15.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24APPLAUSE Through you go to Round Two.
0:13:24 > 0:13:2567 is your total.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- Very well done.- Great work, Martina. Very well played.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31My daughter's favourite show is that Catfish show
0:13:31 > 0:13:34all about people catfishing other people.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- Until this moment, I've never heard that expression.- Oh, really?- Yeah.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- I'm such an old fuddy-duddy, I didn't know.- It's a big deal.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- Yeah, brilliant.- And you can say "to catfish someone".- There we are.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Thanks very much indeed.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Now, Graham, a warm welcome to Pointless to you,
0:13:48 > 0:13:52here from East Ayrshire. What keeps you busy up there?
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Er, I like my gardening.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58I've also recently joined a twalking group.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- Twalking?- Yeah.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Nothing to do with Miley Cyrus, please.- That's twerking.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06LAUGHTER What does it involve, Graham?
0:14:06 > 0:14:10It's just a talking and walking group, so it's a social...
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Oh, that's fine, that's fine. Good, good.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- Nothing sordid.- That's nice.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19What a lovely thing to do, twalking. How far do you twalk?
0:14:19 > 0:14:20I mean, in terms of distance,
0:14:20 > 0:14:23rather than free-ranging around all the subject matter.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Up to about five miles. It's usually a couple of hours.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29And if you fall into a companionable silence, does someone say,
0:14:29 > 0:14:31"Come on, we're not talking enough!"
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- We tend to just then change partners.- Oh, I see, OK.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- Now, Graham, you're on 76.- Yeah. - You are still the high-scorers.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I think I know all bar two of them,
0:14:42 > 0:14:45so I'm going to go for one of those two
0:14:45 > 0:14:47cos I think I need to try and rescue,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50so for the King Henry,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53I'm going to go for lungfish.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Lungfish. Lungfish.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00No red line for you, as you are the high-scorers.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Let's see how far down the column we get with lungfish.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Ooh, bad luck, Graham,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11but admirable tactics. I like what you've done there.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 176.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Had to take a risk, Graham, but not lungfish, I'm afraid.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19There we are. Thank you. Now, Kerry.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22I have the best news possible for you. You are into Round Two.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Vindication for last time, I'd say. Kerry, remind us what you do.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29- I'm an ecologist.- An ecologist. And we discovered last time
0:15:29 > 0:15:33that you monitor bats and newts and badgers.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Does this mostly take place at night?
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Certainly bats and badgers are late nights.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Yeah, a lot of it takes place at night,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41I can be out at two o'clock in the morning
0:15:41 > 0:15:43outside an industrial unit in Manchester,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46looking for bats. It's very glamorous.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47Do you use sophisticated equipment
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- or is it just your eyes and a notebook?- It's our eyes.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52For bats, we have bat detectors,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54which pick up the noises we can't hear.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- I'm picturing Ghostbusters. - Very similar, yeah.- Fabulous.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01You're on 38. Whatever you score, you're through to the next round,
0:16:01 > 0:16:02but have some fun with this board.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Again, I know most of them except for two.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09I'm tempted, cos we're already through,
0:16:09 > 0:16:11go for the bottom one and have a guess.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14The Scandinavian dish gravlax.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Is it salmon?
0:16:16 > 0:16:17No red line for you.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Let's see how far down the column you get with salmon.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- Oh!- Absolutely right.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Not bad. 32.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31APPLAUSE
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Taking your total up to a nice, neat, round 70.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35At the Orrin Falls in Ross-shire,
0:16:35 > 0:16:39the highest jump they've ever seen a salmon make
0:16:39 > 0:16:41was 3.7 metres.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- That's over ten feet.- Wow!- That's quite impressive, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48They've swum all the way down from Greenland.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51They do a lot of swalking though. They swim and talk, to be fair.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52LAUGHTER
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Thanks very much.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Now, David, your thunder's been somewhat stolen,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00but you still have plenty left to give.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01Remind us what it is you do.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06- I'm a train driver instructor.- Oh! That's just fantastic, isn't it?
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Do you teach all types of train driving, every type of train?
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Every type of train that we actually have in South Wales, yes.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- I see, yes. No point learning how to...- Pendolinos, no.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Pendolinos, no.- Never going to touch them.- The Rocket.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- No point teaching that, I dare say. - No.- David, your interests.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25You've got it all covered in your job, I'd have thought,
0:17:25 > 0:17:26but if you have the room for other interests,
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- what would you nominate?- Gaz here introduced me to geocaching,
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- which is a sort of techy hide and seek.- It is, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- You're following coordinates, are you?- That's it.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39And you get somewhere and you've got to dig, or maybe not dig.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- No, but there's something there to find.- Is it usually obvious?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44No, far from it.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Has it ever been someone hiding behind a lamppost
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- with a plate of foam? - No, I've never noticed that, no.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53OK. Now, David, it doesn't matter what you score,
0:17:53 > 0:17:55you're through to the next round.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57This board's all yours. Talk us through it.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- Bring us the fish. - So, the flat fish is a plaice.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05King Henry I, I think, died of a surfeit of lamprey.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09The skipjack, the yellowfin, bluefin, is tuna.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13The fish in kedgeree, is it halibut? I'm not sure on that one.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Silvery fish associated with a misleading
0:18:15 > 0:18:17or distracting clue is herring.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20It doesn't matter, so I'm going to go for the second one down.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24- King Henry I died of a surfeit of lamprey.- Lamprey.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Um, lamprey, says David. No red line for you.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29You are already through.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Look at that! 13.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42APPLAUSE The two lowest scores
0:18:42 > 0:18:44of the entire round, both on this first podium there.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Well done, David and Gareth.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Lampreys evolved 200 million years before the dinosaurs.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- Isn't that incredible?- Wow, they ducked the meteor!- They did, yeah.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- Well, they were under water. - Of course they did. D'uh!
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- They're no idiots.- Yeah.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01And gents, you got the best score on both boards there. Terrific.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Very well played in that first round cos that is the best score here.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06You were right about plaice at the top.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Plaice would have scored you 59.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10You're right about tuna as well.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Would have scored 76. Now, kedgeree.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Not halibut, it's haddock. That would have scored 57.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- I do like kedgeree. - You like kedgeree, do you?- Oh, I do!
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- And the silvery fish is...?- Herring.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Of course, which you were right about as well. 56 points.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Thank you very much indeed. We are at the end of our first round
0:19:25 > 0:19:27and I'm sorry to say the pair we have to send home
0:19:27 > 0:19:29with their high score of 176, it's Graham and Bob.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31It's been great having you here.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33We look forward to seeing you next time
0:19:33 > 0:19:35and I'm sure you'll go much further.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37But meantime, thanks very much. Graham and Bob.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40APPLAUSE
0:19:40 > 0:19:43But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47APPLAUSE
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Three pairs remain now, and at the end of this round,
0:19:52 > 0:19:55we'll have to send another pair away. That'll be sad.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- It will be sad. Let's change the rules.- Yeah!
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- Oh, I'm being told we can't. - LAUGHTER
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Oh, well. Gareth and David clearly the pair to beat.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Our two lowest-scorers, individually and jointly, obviously.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...
0:20:13 > 0:20:16British life. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first,
0:20:16 > 0:20:18who's going second?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28OK, and the question concerns...
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- Richard.- We're going to show you 16 pictures
0:20:34 > 0:20:36of people who featured on the list
0:20:36 > 0:20:38of Britain's 500 most influential people,
0:20:38 > 0:20:40published by Debrett's in 2016.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Can you identify any of the people you're about see?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Thanks very much indeed. We're going to put this image up.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47It's going to stay up for the whole round,
0:20:47 > 0:20:50so let's see the image, and here are all those people.
0:20:51 > 0:20:5716 of them there. You just have to be able to identify one of them.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Now, Gareth.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Right. There's a few faces there.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I think that I am going to go for
0:21:07 > 0:21:10one of the guys in the middle
0:21:10 > 0:21:15- as Danny Boyle.- Danny Boyle, says Gareth. Danny Boyle.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Let's see how many of our 100 people spotted Danny Boyle.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Wow, look at that! 17 for Danny Boyle.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31APPLAUSE Very well done indeed.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32Well played,.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Oversaw the 2012 Olympics ceremony,
0:21:34 > 0:21:38director of Slumdog Millionaire, many other films. Danny Boyle.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39Thanks very much.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44Kerry, who would you like to go for on our board of influential people?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46I recognise quite a few of them
0:21:46 > 0:21:49but some of them I just can't get the surnames at all.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54I'm going to go for, um, Jess Glynne.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Jess Glynne.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Jess Glynne. Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02It's right.
0:22:07 > 0:22:0921 for Jess Glynne.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12APPLAUSE
0:22:12 > 0:22:15She was top row, second from the left.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18She's had five number one singles already, at time of recording,
0:22:18 > 0:22:21number one album. She was going to enter X Factor when she was 15.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23She met with the producers and she thought,
0:22:23 > 0:22:24"Actually, this is not for me."
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- It seems to have worked out for her, I have to say.- Seems to have.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Thanks very much indeed. Now, Martina.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35I know quite a few but, again, the surnames have escaped me.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37So, I'm going to have to go for
0:22:37 > 0:22:39a particularly easy answer,
0:22:39 > 0:22:41which is Chris Evans on the bottom row.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Chris Evans, says Martina.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Let's see how many of our 100 people spotted him.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49It's right.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53APPLAUSE 70. That's a big score
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- for Chris Evans there.- There he is, on the bottom row, Chris Evans.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Cleared out his homes in LA
0:22:58 > 0:23:00and London at one point and set up
0:23:00 > 0:23:02a market stall in Camden to sell all his stuff.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Thanks very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Let's a look at those scores. 17, Gareth, well done.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Best score of the pass. Gareth and David looking good
0:23:09 > 0:23:11for the head-to-head,
0:23:11 > 0:23:14as, I would say, are Kerry and Hannah, on 21.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Martina and Eileen, you're quite far out ahead there.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Eileen, let's hope you've got a really good, obscure,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21low-scoring answer for the next pass.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:28 > 0:23:33OK, Eileen, high-scorers on 70. Let's have a low score from you.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Who would you like to go for?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Er...I'm going to go for
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Karren Brady.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Karren Brady, says Eileen.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Let's see how many of our 100 people spotted Karren Brady.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49No red line for you, as you're the high-scorers.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53It's right.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Not bad. 28.
0:23:58 > 0:24:0298 your total. APPLAUSE
0:24:02 > 0:24:03Yeah, there's Karren Brady,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05in the bottom right-hand corner.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Thanks very much indeed.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- Now then, Hannah.- Mm-hmm.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Mm, your target is 76 or less.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14I think that's easily doable.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17I hope so. Um...
0:24:17 > 0:24:21It's between a few. I think I'll go with...
0:24:21 > 0:24:23- Ian Hislop.- Ian Hislop,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26says Hannah. Here is your red line. Nice and high.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Get below that red line with Ian Hislop,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31you are through to the next round. How many people said it?
0:24:34 > 0:24:35It's right.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- And you've done it. Well done.- Yes! Phew!
0:24:38 > 0:24:4040 for Ian Hislop... APPLAUSE
0:24:40 > 0:24:43..taking your total up to 61.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Yeah, another very good answer.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50He's been a team captain on Have I Got News For You for 26 years now.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54- That's a long time, isn't it?- Isn't it?- Yeah.- He's still brilliant.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- Oh, he's amazing.- Yeah. David.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01David, now, actually, you are the last person to have this board.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Your target is 80 or less - eminently doable.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Would you like to have a bit of fun
0:25:06 > 0:25:10and read out some names that you can see on that board?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Top row, I only know Tracey Emin in the corner.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16We've had Ian Hislop.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Is it Mark Carney who's second in?
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Richard Branson.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21Dyson on the bottom left,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23but I can't think of his first name.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25It's Dame Judi Dench. So, my answer
0:25:25 > 0:25:27would be...
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Tracey Emin.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Tracey Emin, top right, you're saying.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Tracey Emin. There is your red line.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39How many people said Tracey Emin?
0:25:41 > 0:25:42Very well done. It's right
0:25:42 > 0:25:46and you're through to the head-to-head. Well done.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Good answer. 24.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51APPLAUSE 41 is your total.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Well played. Let's start with that top row.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- Top left, winner of Bake Off? - Nadiya...- Nadiya Hussain.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Very well done if you said that.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Would have scored you 6 points.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03The pointless answer on that top row
0:26:03 > 0:26:06is Adam Crozier, who is head of FA, head of ITV.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10The next row, Mark Carney would have been a great answer.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11It would have scored you 10 points.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14You're right, that is the governor of the Bank of England. Next to him?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- Calvin Harris. - Calvin Harris, the DJ, yeah.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19That would have scored you 10 points as well.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21That guy - Gandy, somebody Gandy.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23It is somebody Gandy.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Oh...- David Gandy.- Oh, David Gandy, that's it.- The model.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28He would have scored you 8 points.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Next row, Robert Peston, of course, 24.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33And then, next to Danny Boyle?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- David Hockney.- David Hockney.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37He would have scored you 3 points.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Richard Branson, who's the high scorer on the board, with 84.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43And it's James Dyson. 12 points for that.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46And Dame Judi Dench would have scored you 65.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Thanks very much, Richard.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49So, at the end of our second round, the pair we have to send home,
0:26:49 > 0:26:54with their high score of 98, it's Eileen and Martina. Nothing wrong
0:26:54 > 0:26:56with either of your answers, they were just high-scorers.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Chris Evans, big high score, I'm afraid.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01We'll see you next time and I'm sure you'll get much further.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- Meantime, thanks, Eileen and Martina.- Thank you.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07APPLAUSE
0:27:07 > 0:27:10But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13APPLAUSE
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Congratulations, Gareth and David, Kerry and Hannah.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20You're now one step closer to the final and a chance
0:27:20 > 0:27:25to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,000.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:27:27 > 0:27:30This is great. You've made it as far as the head-to-head,
0:27:30 > 0:27:32which means you can confer before giving your answers from here on in.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34First player to win two questions in this round
0:27:34 > 0:27:37will be through to the final to play for that jackpot.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42APPLAUSE
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Here's your first question and it concerns...
0:27:50 > 0:27:52- Chicago, Richard. - I know, sometimes it happens.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55We were talking about you just being to see Chicago
0:27:55 > 0:27:58and sometimes questions come up at the right time in the right show.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Not on this occasion cos we're going to ask you five questions
0:28:00 > 0:28:02- about the city Chicago, I'm afraid. - Ah!
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Just give us the most obscure answer you can.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Let's reveal our five clues. Here they come.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22I'll read those all again.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37There we are.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Gareth and David, you're our low-scorers, so you will go first.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43INDISTINGUISHABLE DISCUSSION
0:28:46 > 0:28:49OK, we think we know a few of the answers,
0:28:49 > 0:28:53so we're going to go for the name of the international airport
0:28:53 > 0:28:56that opened to commercial traffic in 1955
0:28:56 > 0:29:00- as O'Hare. - O'Hare, say Gareth and David.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Now, Kerry and Hannah,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04do you want to talk us through the rest of that board?
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- Not really. - LAUGHTER
0:29:07 > 0:29:10They didn't cover this in the musical.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- Shall we just go with the state? - Yeah.- The state's Illinois.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Illinois. So, we have O'Hare and we have Illinois.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Gareth and David said O'Hare airport. Let's see if that's right.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25It is O'Hare.
0:29:29 > 0:29:3122. Not bad at all.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34APPLAUSE
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Hannah and Kerry, meanwhile, have gone for Illinois for the state.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 got it.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44It's right.
0:29:47 > 0:29:4942 for Illinois.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51APPLAUSE
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Well done, Gareth and David, after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Yeah, the city lies on the shore of Lake Michigan.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Would have won you the point, actually. 19 for that.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03The sport played by the Chicago White Sox is baseball.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05That would have scored 67.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07And the best answer is the central area.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09It's called The Loop, The Loop.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Would have scored you 2 points.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Thank you very much, Richard. So, here comes your second question.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Kerry and Hannah, you answer first,
0:30:16 > 0:30:18but you have to win it to stay in the game, so good luck.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21Our second question today is all about...
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Famous Bobs, Richard.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Five pictures now of people who are called or are known as Bob.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Who is the most obscure?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32OK, let's reveal our five Bobs and here they are.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01There we are. Five famous Bobs.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04We just need to know who they are. Kerry and Hannah will go first.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06- E.- Yeah?
0:31:06 > 0:31:07- E.- Yeah.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10OK, we are going to go for E,
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Bob Holness.
0:31:13 > 0:31:18Bob Holness. OK, now, Gareth and David.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Well, we think that A might be Bob Hope.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24B, we've got NO hope with.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- LAUGHTER - C is Bob Marley.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30But I think we're going to go for D, which is Bob Mortimer.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34OK, so we have Kerry and Hannah saying Bob Holness.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43It's right.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- 38 for Holness.- Well done.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55Now, Gareth and David have gone for Bob Mortimer for D.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02It is right.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09- 41, so close!- Oh!- Oh!- Look at that! APPLAUSE
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Very well done, Kerry and Hannah.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13That's exactly what you needed. You're back in the game.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- After two questions, it's 1-1. - Great head-to-head, as we expected.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20A is Bob Hope, born in Eltham in London. 51 points for him.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24B is the former presidential candidate Bob Dole.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Very well done if you said him at home. 7 points.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30And Bob Marley, you knew. He's the biggest scorer on the board.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Look at that for a score. 90.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Excellent. Thanks very much indeed. Here comes your third question
0:32:36 > 0:32:39to decide who goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Best of luck to both pairs. Our third question concerns...
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- Dad's Army characters.- This is a nice way to decide it, I think.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Five dad's Army characters now, but with alternate letters removed.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Can you give us the most obscure of these?
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Let's reveal our five characters. Here they come.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22There we are. Now, Gareth and David will go first this time.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25INDISTINGUISHABLE DISCUSSION
0:33:27 > 0:33:30We think we know a few of these
0:33:30 > 0:33:33but we're going to go for the fourth one down as Private Walker.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Private Walker. Private Walker.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Now then, Kerry and Hannah, it's over to you.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Can you fill in all the others?
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- Captain, what is it? - Captain Mannering,
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Lance Corporal Jones
0:33:45 > 0:33:47and Sergeant Wilson.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51So, out of the ones we know... OK, we'll take Lance Corporal Jones.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52Lance Corporal Jones.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55So, we have Private Walker, Lance Corporal Jones.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Gareth and David have Private Walker.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04It's right.
0:34:08 > 0:34:1125. APPLAUSE
0:34:11 > 0:34:1325 for Private Walker.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Kerry and Hannah, meanwhile, have gone for Lance Corporal Jones.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Let's see how many of our 100 said that.
0:34:21 > 0:34:22It's right.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27- Oh!- 54 for Lance Corporal Jones. APPLAUSE
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Which means very well done, Gareth and David.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32After three questions, you're through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Private Walker was the best answer on the board.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36They could not have beaten it.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40Captain Mannering is the biggest scorer, as you might expect. 77.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Sergeant Wilson would have scored you 37.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45- And it's Private...?- Frazer.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48Frazer at the bottom there, played by John Laurie.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50He would have scored you 30.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51Thank you very much indeed.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54So, the pair heading home at the end of our head-to-head,
0:34:54 > 0:34:55I'm afraid, Kerry and Hannah.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59That was close though, particularly that second question.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01It's been wonderful having you across both shows.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05Thank you so much. I'm sorry you didn't get through to the final,
0:35:05 > 0:35:07but it's been wonderful having you here. Thank you, Kerry and Hannah.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11- Thank you.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:35:11 > 0:35:14But for Gareth and David, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17APPLAUSE
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Many congratulations, Gareth and David.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21You've seen off all the competition
0:35:21 > 0:35:23and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:31 > 0:35:35and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,000.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:38 > 0:35:42Very well done, very well done.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Anything you badly want to see come up in this last round?
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Questions that have already been asked on Pointless
0:35:47 > 0:35:49would be a good round.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51- Yeah, what goes around comes around, Gareth.- Yeah.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53As always, you get to choose your category
0:35:53 > 0:35:55from the four we put on the board.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Let's hope there's something you like the look of.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Today's selection includes... Not includes, IS...
0:36:07 > 0:36:11- Right...- Yeah.- Not a great selection for us.- Oh, I see.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13We don't spend a lot of time
0:36:13 > 0:36:16reciting romantic poetry to each other.
0:36:16 > 0:36:21- Not lately, anyway.- No. Um, so shall we go for royalty?- Yeah.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25- We can have a stab at royalty. - OK, royalty, Richard.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27OK, very best of luck, gents.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Here are your three questions on royalty.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31We are looking for the year of birth of any of the children,
0:36:31 > 0:36:34grandchildren or great-grandchildren of Queen Elizabeth II.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36So, the years of birth of her children,
0:36:36 > 0:36:38grandchildren or great-grandchildren.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40We're looking for any country whose head of state
0:36:40 > 0:36:43has been on an official visit to the UK since the Queen acceded
0:36:43 > 0:36:46to the throne in 1952, right up to January, 2016.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48As always, by country, we mean a sovereign state
0:36:48 > 0:36:50that's a member of the UN in its own right.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Or we're looking for the first name of any spouse
0:36:52 > 0:36:56of anyone who's a sovereign of any of the current monarchies of Europe,
0:36:56 > 0:36:59again, in January, 2016, please. So, any of their spouses.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01So, the years of birth of the Queen's descendants,
0:37:01 > 0:37:04any country that's had an inward state visit to the UK since 1952,
0:37:04 > 0:37:06or the spouses of any of the current European monarchs.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10- Best of luck.- As always, you've got up to one minute
0:37:10 > 0:37:12to come up with three answers and all you need
0:37:12 > 0:37:14to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18- Are you ready?- Yeah.- Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:18 > 0:37:19Your time starts now.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23OK, I know Prince Harry was born in 1982.
0:37:23 > 0:37:28- Well, I think I know that. - Edward was '64, I think.- OK.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32Was Eugenie born, or one of those ones born in '88?
0:37:32 > 0:37:37- That rings a bell for some reason. - Charles, '48?
0:37:37 > 0:37:39- He's older than that.- 1940.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Um...
0:37:41 > 0:37:47- Inward state visit...- King of Tonga? - Maybe.- Prince of Monaco.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51Yeah. King of Tonga would be as good a guess as any.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Er, I presume like the Netherlands and Spain
0:37:54 > 0:37:57and the like have come over.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- I can't think of any...- Beatrix?
0:37:59 > 0:38:03- Is there a Beatrix?- Beatrix of...? - The Netherlands, Norway or...?
0:38:03 > 0:38:05There is a Beatrix of the Netherlands, I think.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08Shall we go with Beatrix of the Netherlands, King of Tonga...
0:38:08 > 0:38:14- Ten seconds left.- And Edward, '64? - 1964.- Well, we'll have a go at that.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16- OK. Yeah.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20OK, it sounds like you've landed on your answers. That's your minute up.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22I now need your three answers.
0:38:22 > 0:38:27- We think Prince Edward was born in 1964.- OK, Prince Edward, 1964.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Inward state visit, we're going to go for the King of Tonga.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31King of Tonga.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34And the spouse of any current European monarch,
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- we're going to go for Beatrix. - Beatrix of...?
0:38:37 > 0:38:39- The Netherlands.- The Netherlands.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42OK, of those three, which do you think is your best shot
0:38:42 > 0:38:44- at a pointless answer? - Beatrix, if it's right?- Yeah.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46OK, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands goes last.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Least likely to be Pointless?
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- Prince Edward's birthday, 1964. - Price Edward, 1964.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54OK, let's put those answers up on the board in that order
0:38:54 > 0:38:55and here they are.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04Very, very best of luck. Three answers on the board.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06One of those could easily be pointless
0:39:06 > 0:39:07and might win that jackpot for you.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11What would you do with your winnings if that were the case, Gareth?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14I was thinking, the four of us, lads holiday, you know,
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Magaluf, foam party. That's only if we win, mind.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20- OK.- So, bear that in mind.- OK.
0:39:20 > 0:39:21David?
0:39:21 > 0:39:27Er, I'd probably go to the USA, Florida, visit some friends there.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31Very good indeed. OK, very best of luck. Your first answer was 1964.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33In this case, we were looking for the years of birth
0:39:33 > 0:39:35of any of the Queen's descendants.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Only one of these has to be pointless
0:39:37 > 0:39:39to win that jackpot, remember. 1964.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43For £2,000, let's see how many people said it. Is it pointless?
0:39:45 > 0:39:47It's right.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49If this goes all the way down to zero,
0:39:49 > 0:39:51you will leave here with 2,000 quid.
0:39:51 > 0:39:541964 takes us down through the teens,
0:39:54 > 0:39:56into single figures. Down it goes.
0:39:56 > 0:39:57Still going down.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59- Oh!- Oh, 2!
0:39:59 > 0:40:03APPLAUSE
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Fantastic score. 1964 taking us right down, oh,
0:40:07 > 0:40:09within touching distance of that jackpot.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11But I'm afraid, not a pointless answer,
0:40:11 > 0:40:14which means everything is now riding on the last two.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Let's hope nobody went with your next answer
0:40:16 > 0:40:17which was Tonga.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21In this case, we were looking for inward state visits.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23King of Tonga you've gone for.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25This has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot,
0:40:25 > 0:40:28so for £2,000, let's see how many of our 100 people said Tonga.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34- Oh!- Oh, no, not Tonga.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39OK, everything is now riding on the third and final answer.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43In this case, we were looking for spouses
0:40:43 > 0:40:46of any of the current European monarchs.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48To win that jackpot of £2,000, it has to be correct,
0:40:48 > 0:40:51then it has to be pointless. Let's see if it is both of those things.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Queen Beatrix. How many people said it?
0:40:56 > 0:40:59- Oh, bad luck!- Oh!- Oh, I'm sorry.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02APPLAUSE
0:41:02 > 0:41:05That was a tough old round, that one.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Yeah, tough category, and I'm afraid you didn't manage to find
0:41:08 > 0:41:10that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:10 > 0:41:11which means you don't win today's jackpot.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15That rolls over onto the next show. But, whoa, right from the get-go,
0:41:15 > 0:41:17you two have been fantastic on this show.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Low score after low score after low score.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22And that was a game attempt in that round,
0:41:22 > 0:41:24but I'm afraid you don't get to take home that jackpot.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26However, you do get to take home a Pointless trophy,
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- so very well done, Gareth and David. - Yeah!
0:41:29 > 0:41:32APPLAUSE
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Very well played, gents. Very unlucky.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37We haven't had an official state visit from Tonga, I'm afraid.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40And Queen Beatrix, she used to be the Queen of the Netherlands.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42She's not any more and wasn't a spouse.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45But let's look at the answers that would have won you that money.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Edward and the Countess of Wessex's two children,
0:41:48 > 0:41:52born in 2007 and 2003, James and Louise.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55And 2010 was when the Queen's first great-grandchild was born,
0:41:55 > 0:41:56Savannah Phillips.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59So, very well done if you said any of those dates at home.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03Inward state visits - loads and loads of pointless answers here.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Mexico was 2015.
