0:00:18 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Hello, my name's Mike, this is my buddy Kyle, and we're from Jersey.
0:00:37 > 0:00:42- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Hubert, and this is my friend Charan.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45I'm from Bedford, and she's from Wolverhampton.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- Couple number three.- I'm Jennifer, this is my daughter Naomi.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Naomi's from Derby, and I'm from South Derbyshire.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, my name's Alex, this is my wife, Claire,
0:00:54 > 0:00:55and we're from Hertfordshire.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants. APPLAUSE
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Well, thank you very much, all of you.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04We will get to chat to each of you later throughout the show as
0:01:04 > 0:01:07it goes along. So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10He's not just a wise man, he's three wise men,
0:01:10 > 0:01:14the stable, the manger, the oxen, the bison and the star
0:01:14 > 0:01:15all rolled into one.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19And the baby. It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- Hiya. Hi, everybody. - APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- Afternoon. Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Now, just one returning pair from the last show
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- that's Hubert and Charan - are back with us.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Got through to the head-to-head last time.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Welcome to our three new pairs as well.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Now, I would say we've got some great questions today,
0:01:37 > 0:01:39but a little secret on Pointless -
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I always get the questions just before the show starts.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Now, we're really cutting it fine this time, cos I haven't yet got them,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46but the second you start talking to people,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48I know that somebody will come, when the camera's off,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51and pass me the questions, so we'll carry on anyway.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53That is amazing. Somebody...
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- Bam ba ba! - ALEXANDER CHUCKLES
0:01:57 > 0:02:00What about that? What about that? APPLAUSE
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- Whoa!- Boy, let me tell you, we've got some questions for you today.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- This first one! - Very exciting indeed. Wow!
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Well, thank you, Richard. - Pleasure.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Now, as you'll have gathered, Andy and Helen didn't win the jackpot last time, so we add another
0:02:12 > 0:02:19£1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off at a majestic £5,250.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20There we go.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Look at that. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27APPLAUSE
0:02:29 > 0:02:32OK, all you have to remember is this - the pair with the highest
0:02:32 > 0:02:35score at the end of each round will be eliminated. That is it.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Oh, and there is no conferring in the first two rounds.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Thank you very much. Our first category today is...
0:02:44 > 0:02:45There we are.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Can you all decide who's going to go first,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49who's going to go second in your pair?
0:02:49 > 0:02:53And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:02:58 > 0:03:04We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many countries
0:03:04 > 0:03:08that are more forested than the UK as they could.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11As many countries more forested than the UK. Richard.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Yeah, 12% of the UK is officially forested.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17There is 135 countries in the world which have
0:03:17 > 0:03:20a greater percentage of land forested than the UK.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23We're looking for any of those 135 countries, please.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24That's according to the UN.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26As always, by country,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29we mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Thanks very much indeed. Now, Mike, welcome to Pointless.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Great to have you here, from Jersey. What keeps you busy in Jersey, Mike?
0:03:35 > 0:03:40I am an administration and systems manager at a legal practice.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Right you are. What are your hobbies, Mike?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I play golf, play some squash.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Living in Jersey, I like to barbecue a lot.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Don't rub it in, come on. LAUGHTER
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- Now, forestry.- Yes.- Forestry.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Countries that have more forestry than the UK.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Erm... I'm going to go for Laos.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Laos, says Mike. Let's see if Laos is right.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Let's see how many of our 100 people said Laos.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11It's right.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Yes! A pointless answer. APPLAUSE
0:04:20 > 0:04:23How Laos can you go? And the answer is no Laos-er than that.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27It adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £5,500,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29it scores you nothing,
0:04:29 > 0:04:33apart from the enormous respect of all your peers, so very well done.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Laos.- That's brilliant, yeah, what a start to the show.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Laos, or "Louse", some people would call it.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40What sort of percentage of that country do you think is forested?
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- 90? - It's a lot. 68%. 68%.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- What a start.- What a start. What a start to the show.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Thanks very much indeed. Mike, congratulations.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Hubert. Now, then.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55We discovered last time that you are studying IT.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58What are your hobbies, Hubert? What do you like getting up to?
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Radio, music, listening to podcasts, and making them, and books.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- Very good. And you said you did some radio work.- Yup.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Where do you do that?
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Well, I have an online page where I put my shows up,
0:05:11 > 0:05:15but I also do shows for an internet radio station
0:05:15 > 0:05:18that I've been volunteering for for nearly three years.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Very nice. Now, Hubert.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Forested countries. - Well, not the best at it.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26I have been to a few forests in a few countries.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I'm going to go for Jamaica.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Jamaica, says Hubert. OK, let's see if Jamaica is right.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jamaica.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39It's right.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48It's another pointless answer! Look at that, very well done indeed,
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Hubert! Fantastic. APPLAUSE
0:05:50 > 0:05:53That adds another £250 to today's jackpot,
0:05:53 > 0:05:56taking the total up to 5,750.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59It scores you nothing, and earns you huge kudos.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Brilliant, Hubert. Very well done.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Yeah, as in the joke, "My wife recently went to a heavily forested country."
0:06:04 > 0:06:06"Jamaica?" "Yes."
0:06:06 > 0:06:07LAUGHTER
0:06:07 > 0:06:12- 31% of Jamaica is forested.- 31%. - There you go.- Excellent.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Jennifer, welcome to Pointless. Wonderful to have you here.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- What do you get up to, Jennifer? - I'm retired. I'm a retired nurse.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21What have you taken up since retiring?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Well, I'm always keen on sewing, even when I was working,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- so that's what I've focused on, really.- Sewing.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29I'm doing a course, a distance-learning course.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32And what kind of sewing is this? Embroidery, or...?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35It's embroidery, yeah. Mixed media, really, as well.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Sort of painting, as well as stitch, so, yeah.- Excellent. There we are.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- Good for you. Jennifer, how are we liking this forestation?- Yes...
0:06:43 > 0:06:47OK, well, I can't follow these two, I don't think, for pointless.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Oh, imagine if you did, though. - Yeah, but I don't think it's likely.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- 135 countries more wooded than us. - Yes. Yes, I know.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Erm, I'm going to go for Burma.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Burma. OK, Burma, says Jennifer. Let's see if that's right.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Let's see how many of our 100 people said Burma.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08It's right.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Is it going to be another pointless answer, I wonder? Down it goes.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Oh, 2! Look at that, Jennifer!
0:07:16 > 0:07:20APPLAUSE 2 for Burma.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- Myanmar.- 2 points, Jennifer, what are you playing at(?)
0:07:25 > 0:07:30Very good answer, yeah, Burma or Myanmar. 48% forested.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34There we are. Our high-scorers, Jennifer and Naomi, there, on 2.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36LAUGHTER Claire, welcome to the show.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Thank you.- Great to have you here. Here from Royston in Hertfordshire.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41What do you get up to, Claire?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I'm a legal PA. I work for a shipping-law firm in London.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47And what do you like getting up to when you're not working, Claire?
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Well, we've got a one-year-old at home,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- so that takes up a lot of spare time.- Right, yes, I'll say.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53But I try and play netball as well,
0:07:53 > 0:07:55go swimming, just general sporting stuff, really.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Have you done netball all the way through? Did you have a break?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01No, I started playing netball for a club when I was six,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04so I've played for, like, 30 years, so...
0:08:04 > 0:08:05You must be really good at it!
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Well, I'm tall, which helps, so... - There we are.- Yeah.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Now, how are we feeling about forestry and countries
0:08:12 > 0:08:15and the relative woodland area to the UK?
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- I'm going to try for Bolivia. - Bolivia.- Yep.- Bolivia, says Claire.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Let's see if that's right.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Let's see how many of our 100 people said Bolivia.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27It's another correct answer.
0:08:32 > 0:08:343! APPLAUSE
0:08:34 > 0:08:38There we are. Very well done indeed, Claire. 3 for Bolivia.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Very well played.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- These scores are going through the roof now, aren't they?- I know.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- I know.- What percentage of Bolivia do you think is forested?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Erm, I'm looking at the audience's faces. 63.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50- You said 63?- Mm.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54De-dum, de-dum, de-dum. Higher or lower than 63?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56SOME: Higher. MOST: Lower.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58They say lower, and they're right, it's 53.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- Ah!- You got beaten by the audience. - There we are. Thank you very much.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Thank you, audience. We are halfway through the round.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:06 > 0:09:080 is the best score of that pass.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Very well done, Mike and Hubert.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Extremely strong performance from this end of the row.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Then it just turns into a disaster area! We go up to 2,
0:09:17 > 0:09:19where we find Jennifer and Naomi, and all the way up to 3,
0:09:19 > 0:09:21where we find Claire and Alex.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24So, yes, I'd say it's between Alex and Naomi, but who knows?
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Anything can happen in this next pass.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Best of luck to all four pairs. Let's come back down the line.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36So, Alex. What do you do, Alex?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I'm an applications manager for a law firm in the City.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Basically, I just make sure the lawyers have access to their
0:09:41 > 0:09:44time recording cases, that kind of thing.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Right you are. And what do you like getting up to, Alex?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I like cycling, I do a lot of charity races.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Play guitar. Getting worse, but then again...
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Getting worse? It's not... It's meant to go the other way!
0:09:55 > 0:09:56The more you play the worse you get?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Yeah, but the older I get, I'm getting a bit slower.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- Ah. Right, Alex, there you are on 3. - Yeah.- Our high-scorers, by the way.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06We need a low score from you. What are you going to go for?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08I've no idea if there's any trees or anything in this country,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10but I'll go for El Salvador.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Sounds like there are going to be trees there, surely.- Potentially.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14No red line for you,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17because you are our embarrassingly high scorers there.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Let's see how many of our 100 people said El Salvador. Is it right?
0:10:23 > 0:10:24It is right.
0:10:30 > 0:10:331! Look at that, very well done indeed, Alex.
0:10:33 > 0:10:361, taking your total up to 4. APPLAUSE
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- Very well played indeed. El Salvador.- Well played, Alex.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42This is getting quite nerve-racking now, isn't it? All these low scores.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Little bit.- Percentage of El Salvador that's forested?- 49%.
0:10:45 > 0:10:4749% - higher or lower?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49MOST: Lower. FEW: Higher.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Right, I need you all to talk amongst yourselves,
0:10:52 > 0:10:54and come up with one answer.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- I think they're saying lower.- Yeah.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- 14%. - GASPS
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Very close. Very close to the UK. 14%, El Salvador.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- I know, we think of it as a forested country.- You do!
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I never think of El Salvador without thinking of branches.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12The forests of El Salvador.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Walking through El Salvador is like this. Pyoing! Twang! Thwock!
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- Ah, there we go. Anyway, how wrong we are. Naomi.- Hello.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Hello, welcome to the show. Naomi, what do you do?
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- I'm an occupational therapist.- Very good. And what are your interests?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Well, pretty much similar to my mum.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33I like sewing, and I belong to a band. I play the clarinet.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- Play... What's the band?- It's Derby Hospital's band.- Fantastic.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- So we raise money for charities. - How big's the band?
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- There's about 35 of us, when we're at capacity.- That's pretty good.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- Excellent. Now, Naomi, the pressure is on. It really is!- I know!
0:11:48 > 0:11:53- I can't believe this.- Now, nobody has scored higher than 3.
0:11:53 > 0:12:00Really have got no idea, and so I'm just going to plump for Luxembourg.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Last time someone plumped for Luxembourg, a few shows back,
0:12:03 > 0:12:04it turned out to be a pointless answer.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Let us find out now how we do with Luxembourg.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09Here is your red line. It's...
0:12:09 > 0:12:12I mean, there it is, right at the bottom of the column.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Get below that, you're into Round Two.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16How many people said Luxembourg?
0:12:18 > 0:12:19It's right.
0:12:25 > 0:12:271! APPLAUSE
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Very well done indeed. 1 for Luxembourg,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33taking your total up to 3. Very well done.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37- This is fun. I'm loving this round! - Same here.- Percentage?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Oh, Luxembourg? 15.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- Higher or lower? - MOST: Higher.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- Clearly. 33%.- No. I just don't know anything about Luxembourg.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- You're losing 3-0 to the audience. - I know, I know.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52There are more of them.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Thank you, Richard.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Now, then, Charan. Welcome back.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01We discovered last time you are also studying IT. What do you like
0:13:01 > 0:13:03getting up to when you're not doing that?
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Reading, probably.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Do you have a favourite author,
0:13:07 > 0:13:10or are there any particular type of books you like reading?
0:13:10 > 0:13:15- Harry Potter.- Excellent. Harry Potter. Now, then, Charan.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18What about this woodland thing? Hubert has set you up so well there.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- But it's going to go all ker-plunk. - No, it's not. It's not.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23I have complete faith in you, Charan.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26What are you going to go for?
0:13:26 > 0:13:32- Congo.- Congo...- Yeah.- ..says Charan. OK, here is your red line.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36It's higher than the last red line, but only by about an inch.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Your target is 3, so it's right at the bottom of the column.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41How many of our 100 people said the Congo?
0:13:44 > 0:13:45It's right.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Down it goes...
0:13:51 > 0:13:541! Very well done indeed. APPLAUSE
0:13:54 > 0:13:581 for the Congo, taking your total up to 1.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- How good is this?- Amazing.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05It's amazing, but also, we don't have many forests, do we?
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- It turns out. - No.- Percentage of the Congo?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- ALEXANDER SIGHS - Come on, you've got to win one.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16- Congo... I am thinking the Congo - 57%.- 57, that's...
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Oh, you've asked them a question there. Higher or lower?
0:14:19 > 0:14:20MOST: Higher.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25Higher, they all say, and they are right to say higher. It's 66%.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- That's 4-0.- How much? - 66%.- 66.- You were close.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32For the first time, yeah.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34There we are. Thank you, Richard. Thank you.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Now, Kyle, welcome.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Good to have you here, from Jersey also.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40What do you do in Jersey?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Much like Mike, I play a lot of golf, squash, I'm a keen runner.
0:14:43 > 0:14:49- OK, do you have a career as well? - Yeah, I won't...
0:14:49 > 0:14:51I won't drag it out too much, but I'm an accountant.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54I thought you were going to say, "I am an international playboy."
0:14:54 > 0:14:56No, no. That would be good.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59That would be good. Now, Kyle, there you are, on 0.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01The high-scorers, over there, Alex and Claire,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04slightly embarrassingly, on 4.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09- Your target is 3.- Yup. I'm going to plump for Cambodia.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Cambodia, says Kyle.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14We're looking for countries more forested than the UK. Cambodia.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15Here is your red line.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Get below that with Cambodia, you are through to the next round.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19How many people said Cambodia?
0:15:21 > 0:15:22It's right.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29You've done it!
0:15:29 > 0:15:32It's another pointless answer! Very, very well done indeed.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34APPLAUSE
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Double pointless on that first podium there.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39That adds another £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up
0:15:39 > 0:15:43to £6,000, scores you nothing, leaves your total at nothing.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Fantastic work on podium one.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Wow, and eight points between eight players, as well. That's terrific.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Must be close to a new record.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Percentage of Cambodia that's forested?
0:15:51 > 0:15:56- Somewhere over halfway. 55. - 55. Higher or lower?
0:15:56 > 0:15:57MOST: Higher.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- 57. 57, it was. - LAUGHTER
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Oh, I'm getting good at this!
0:16:02 > 0:16:07- Thank you.- If we just play seven or eight more rounds of this, you'll...
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13There's quite a few out there.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Angola.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16There's Cambodia and Laos, neighbours, of course,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18and both scored you pointless answers, gents.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Well played.
0:16:20 > 0:16:26Micronesia is 92% forest. North Korea say they are. Who knows?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Palau, very heavily forested, an old Pointless favourite.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Seychelles, Slovenia, Zambia.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Another Pointless favourite, Central African Republic,
0:16:35 > 0:16:36would have scored you 1 point.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Let's take a look at the top three.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Not too many obvious answers here, but these three were Russia,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- would have scored you 41. - Mm-hm.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Canada, 49, and top of the shop, Brazil,
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- which would have scored you 55. - There you are.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Thanks very much, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54I'm afraid the pair we have to say goodbye to is Alex and Claire.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I'm so sorry.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Everyone's done so well, there's nothing wrong with that score.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59- So close.- SO close.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02It seems ridiculous to be sending you home, but anyway,
0:17:02 > 0:17:03we will see you again next time.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Look forward to that very much indeed. Meantime, thanks so much.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Alex and Claire. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09APPLAUSE
0:17:09 > 0:17:12But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20And so we are down to three pairs. Obviously, at the end of this round
0:17:20 > 0:17:22we'll be saying goodbye to another pair, but very good.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Between our three pairs, three pointless answers,
0:17:25 > 0:17:29two of them on that near podium, so hats off to you all.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Best of luck for this round. Our category for Round Two today is...
0:17:35 > 0:17:36It's Adaptations.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:17:38 > 0:17:39who's going to go second?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48OK, and the question concerns...
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Authors and Directors. Richard.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56On each board, we're going to name six pairs of people.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00One is an author, and one is a director who adapted one of
0:18:00 > 0:18:02that author's books into a film.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05We need the name of the book that the director turned into a film.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Wonderful. Thank you very much indeed, so here is our first board
0:18:09 > 0:18:11of authors, directors, and dates.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I'll read those all one last time.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49OK. Kyle.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- What would you like to go for? - Erm...
0:18:53 > 0:18:56I'm going to plump for the third one down,
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- and say Dracula. - Dracula, says Kyle.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Let's see how many of our 100 people said Dracula.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06It's right.
0:19:08 > 0:19:1267, that's a big score. APPLAUSE
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Better than 100, though.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Yeah, from 1897, the novel Dracula, by Bram Stoker.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Used to write on the Daily Telegraph.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23There you are. Thank you very much. Now, then, Charan.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27What would you like to go for?
0:19:27 > 0:19:28Harper Lee.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33It's the most obvious one, but I have no clue about the others.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35- And what's the book? - To Kill A Mockingbird.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38To Kill A Mockingbird, says Charan. Let's see if that's right.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Let's see how many of our 100 people said To Kill A Mockingbird.
0:19:48 > 0:19:5136. APPLAUSE
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Not bad at all, Charan. 36.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Yeah, the book has sold 40 million copies worldwide
0:19:56 > 0:20:00since publication, and the film won three Oscars.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01The follow-up, Go Set A Watchman,
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- contained some very controversial... new information.- Yeah.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09A lot of people have chosen not to...not to acknowledge the new information,
0:20:09 > 0:20:10haven't they?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Yeah. Exactly right. - Let's not go any further into it.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- Yes.- Yeah.- Spoiler alert, they call that.- Indeed. Thank you, Richard.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Now, Naomi, that board is all yours.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22If you wanted to, you could fill in all those books for us.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24If I wanted to, but I can't, I'm afraid!
0:20:26 > 0:20:29So, I'm going to go for Jane Austen, Joe Wright,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31and I think it's Pride And Prejudice.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Pride And Prejudice, says Naomi. Let's see if that's right.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Let's see how many of our 100 people said Pride And Prejudice.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41It's right. 67 is our high score,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43you pass it. 36 is our low score,
0:20:43 > 0:20:44you pass it.
0:20:44 > 0:20:4827. Very well done indeed, Naomi. APPLAUSE
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Well played, Naomi.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Yeah, published anonymously in 1813, Pride And Prejudice.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Now, I suspect you might be quite good on this board.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00I could be wrong. Anthony Burgess/Stanley Kubrick?
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- A Clockwork Orange. - It is A Clockwork Orange.
0:21:02 > 0:21:0534 for that. Raymond Chandler/Howard Hawks?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- The Big Sleep. - It is The Big Sleep.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12And that would have scored 6. And Chuck Palahniuk and David Fincher?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14BEEPS INDECISIVELY No.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Fight Club.- Fight Club. - Fight Club.- There you are.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18And that would have scored 7, so The Big Sleep, actually,
0:21:18 > 0:21:20the best answer on that board. Well done if you said that.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21Very good. Thanks, Richard.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25OK, well, we're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:21:25 > 0:21:2727, very well done indeed, Naomi, the best score of that pass.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Then up to 36, where we find Hubert and Charan. Well done, Charan.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34And then up to 67, Kyle and Mike, so Mike,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36a low score from you might be enough to keep you in the game.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:43 > 0:21:47OK, we're going to put six more pairs up on the board,
0:21:47 > 0:21:49and here they are. Our authors and directors.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23There we are.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Remember, we're looking for the titles of the books that were
0:22:26 > 0:22:27made into films by these directors.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Jennifer, let's see if we can keep up this low-scoring streak
0:22:31 > 0:22:32on that far podium.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36I'm going to go for the most obvious one, and say, for the top one,
0:22:36 > 0:22:41- Frankenstein.- Frankenstein. Frankenstein, says Jennifer.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Let's see how many of our 100 people said that. There is your red line.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46If you get below that, you're into the head-to-head.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50It's right.
0:22:52 > 0:22:5656 for Frankenstein, taking your total up to 83.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59APPLAUSE
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Yeah, it was published when she was 20, Frankenstein,
0:23:01 > 0:23:04and the film was actually called Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09- Thanks, Richard. Now, Hubert. 46 is your target.- Oh, great.
0:23:09 > 0:23:1446 or lower gets you into the head-to-head for the second time.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Er, the Danny Boyle one, sounds like a James Bond title to me.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Not good on my Bond movies. I'm going to go...
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Man With The Goldfinger. - Man With The Goldfinger.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Man With The Goldfinger, says Hubert.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27OK, here is your red line.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30You have to get below that with Man With The Goldfinger.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35(Great. If this is Bond...)
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Oh, I'm sorry, Hubert.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points...
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- I thought it would be. - ..takes your total up to 136.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47However, if they are looking for a title for the next James Bond film,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50I think you may have just come up with it. You think?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Yeah. Absolutely, yeah.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56- That'll be your first outing as Bond, maybe.- Oh, do you think?- Yeah.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- It's about time! - It is about time, isn't it?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Do you think Barbara Broccoli watches the show?
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- Babs?- Of course she does.- Yeah. Oh, you could be my nemesis.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Oh, I would like to be your nemesis.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Yeah, I would like to play that role.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- I would like it, finally, if Bond lost as well.- Yeah.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12If I was the first one to kill him.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- ALEXANDER GASPS - Imagine that.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Imagine if I had you tied up on a table - just go with me - with
0:24:18 > 0:24:21one of those lasers, and instead of just explaining my plan, I just...
0:24:21 > 0:24:23MIMICS GUNSHOT
0:24:23 > 0:24:25YAWNS Bit of a waste of a laser, isn't it?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- Hmm? - Using the gun AND the laser.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- No, I've got a laser cos I'm hanging some pictures later.- Oh, I see.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33I want to get them straight.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Fantastic. Now, Mike.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37You're on 67.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41You need to score 68 or less to get through to the head-to-head.
0:24:41 > 0:24:4468 or less. Do you fancy talking us through the board, Mike?
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Er, I don't know any. Erm...
0:24:48 > 0:24:52I'm just going to punt for a Spielberg movie.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54ET?
0:24:54 > 0:24:59You're saying ET for the Spielberg one? OK, 1975, ET, says Mike.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00There is your red line.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04You have to get below that red line to go through to the head-to-head.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05Let's see if ET's right.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11No, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points,
0:25:11 > 0:25:13takes your total up to 167.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Yeah, not ET, I'm afraid.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17There's some fairly big scorers on this board.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Peter Benchley, Steven Spielberg...
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- Is Jaws.- Jaws, yeah.
0:25:21 > 0:25:241975. That would have scored you 34.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26The Irvine Welsh/Danny Boyle film...
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- Trainspotting. - It's Trainspotting.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Would have scored 31 points.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Thomas Harris?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- The Silence Of The Lambs. - The Silence Of The Lambs, yep.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Would have scored 16.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Won in all five of the top Academy Award categories, that film.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41Roald Dahl/Tim Burton?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. - Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46And that's 34, and the only low scorer on the board,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Edith Wharton and Martin Scorsese...
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- The Age Of Innocence.- The Age Of Innocence. 6 points for that.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53She won the Pulitzer Prize for the novel,
0:25:53 > 0:25:55now known as the prize for fiction. First woman ever to do so.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Very well done if you said The Age Of Innocence.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58Thanks very much, Richard.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01So, at the end of our second round, I'm afraid the pair who are
0:26:01 > 0:26:04heading home, with their high score of 167, it's Mike and Kyle.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Oh, you were handed one there by Hubert, but I'm afraid...
0:26:08 > 0:26:09Did you know any of those films?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Obviously, you did once we'd told you them.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- Yeah, of course. All of them. - Yeah. Ah, well.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Ah, well, Mike and Kyle, we'll see you again next time,
0:26:16 > 0:26:18and I'm sure you'll go much further, but meantime,
0:26:18 > 0:26:19thanks very much for playing. Mike and Kyle.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21APPLAUSE
0:26:22 > 0:26:26But for the remaining two pairs it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Congratulations, Jennifer and Naomi, Hubert and Charan,
0:26:33 > 0:26:36you are now one step closer to the final, and a chance to play
0:26:36 > 0:26:39for that massive jackpot, which currently stands at £6,000.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42There it is. APPLAUSE
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Well, the big news is you're now allowed to confer before you
0:26:47 > 0:26:50give your answers, which is very exciting indeed.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58APPLAUSE
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Here is your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:06 > 0:27:11- The Letter W.- Simply five clues now to facts involving the letter W.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- Wow.- Yeah?- Amazing.- How about that?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18I've got 25 more like this, just so you know.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20LAUGHTER
0:27:20 > 0:27:25OK, let's reveal our five facts about W. Here they come.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45There we are. I'm going to read those one more time.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59There we are.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Jennifer and Naomi, you are our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07There's a couple that we think we know,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10but we're going to go for the second one down, the number on a standard
0:28:10 > 0:28:14telephone keypad which contains the letter W, and we think it's 9.
0:28:14 > 0:28:179. 9 contains the letter W.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21OK. Now, then, Hubert and Charan.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28Well, we're going to go for the unit of power, and I believe that's watt.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33OK, you're going to go for watt. OK, so we have 9 and we have watt.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Jennifer and Naomi said the number 9. Let's see if that's right.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Let's see how many of our 100 people said 9.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45It's right.
0:28:45 > 0:28:489 is the keypad represented by the letter W on
0:28:48 > 0:28:50a standard telephone.
0:28:50 > 0:28:55Hubert and Charan are saying that watt is the SI unit of power
0:28:55 > 0:28:56represented by the letter W.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Let's see how many of our 100 people said watt.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04It's right.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Oh, 73. APPLAUSE
0:29:06 > 0:29:10So, well done, Jennifer and Naomi. After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Let's fill in the rest of this board.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15The middle name of George W Bush is Walker.
0:29:15 > 0:29:16Would have scored you 8.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20The Morse-code signal used to represent the letter W
0:29:20 > 0:29:23is dot dash dash.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25That would have scored you 3 points, a terrific answer,
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- and the Nato phonetic alphabet... - Whiskey.- It is whiskey.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Might have known you'd know that.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31And that's 37 points,
0:29:31 > 0:29:33so dot dash dash the best answer there.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Thanks very much, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Hubert and Charan get to answer it first,
0:29:37 > 0:29:40but you have to win this one to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41It concerns...
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Elements Whose Symbols Begin With Different Letters, Richard.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51We're simply going to give you now the symbols for five
0:29:51 > 0:29:54chemical elements. We just need you to tell us the elements, please.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57OK, let's reveal our five symbols, and here they come.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06I'll read those again.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15So, Hubert and Charan.
0:30:16 > 0:30:21OK, I think K is potassium.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24OK, potassium for K.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Potassium. Now, then, Jennifer and Naomi.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29What would you like to go for?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- Do you want to talk us through that board?- No, not really. I mean...
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- Go for the top one.- Don't know if you know any more than that...
0:30:35 > 0:30:36No, no.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40We thought that K was potassium, so we're going to go for Fe and iron.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43- Fe, iron.- Yep.- OK, so we have potassium and we have iron.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Hubert and Charan went for potassium.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46Let's see if that's right for K.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52It's right.
0:30:56 > 0:30:5936 for K. APPLAUSE
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Meanwhile, Jennifer and Naomi have gone for Fe for iron.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said iron.
0:31:10 > 0:31:11It's right.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Ooh, 69! APPLAUSE
0:31:15 > 0:31:1869. Very well done indeed, Hubert and Charan, back in the game.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24Yeah, well played. Fe, of course, is only for new iron.
0:31:24 > 0:31:25It's Ne, old iron.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28LAUGHTER Oh, right!
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Let's take a look at the rest of these... I just thought of that.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33I just thought of that, and I thought I would say it.
0:31:33 > 0:31:38Hg is mercury. Would have scored you 20 points.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- Would have seen you into the final. Pb...- Lead.- ..is lead.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Would have scored you 51.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48And Sb is the best answer on the board - antimony.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Would have scored you 5 points. Very well done if you said that.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Thanks very much indeed. Right, so it comes down to a third question.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Whoever gets this one goes through to the final,
0:31:57 > 0:31:59so best of luck to both pairs.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03Our third question this afternoon is all about...
0:32:05 > 0:32:08It's just nice, isn't it? All about pandas. Richard.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11That's nice, isn't it? Yeah, five clues now to facts about pandas.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13We just need you to give us the most obscure answer, please.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Very best of luck to both teams.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18OK, let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Well, I'm sure it died of natural causes first!
0:32:49 > 0:32:50I'm going to read those again.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14There we are. Jennifer and Naomi, we come to you first.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- The second one down is Soo. - Yeah.
0:33:18 > 0:33:19And the third one is...
0:33:20 > 0:33:25- The last one is Chi Chi. - So, which one do you want to go for?
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- It's a risk, but... We're going to go...- OK.
0:33:28 > 0:33:33I'M going to go for a risky one. The bottom one is Chi Chi.
0:33:33 > 0:33:39Chi Chi. Chi Chi, say Jennifer and Naomi. Now, Hubert and Charan.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40The only one I know is food.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Yeah, I was going to say, I only know the obvious one.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44I don't know any of them apart from the food,
0:33:44 > 0:33:45and I'm afraid that one's...
0:33:45 > 0:33:50- OK, we're going to have to go for the panda food. Bamboo.- Bamboo.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54Bamboo, the fast-growing grass, say Hubert and Charan.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57So, Jennifer and Naomi have gone for Chi Chi,
0:33:57 > 0:34:00the panda bought by London Zoo in 1958.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01Let's see if Chi Chi is right.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06It is right.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10Oh, that was a good punt to take, Jennifer. Chi Chi takes us down
0:34:10 > 0:34:13to 20. APPLAUSE
0:34:14 > 0:34:19Very well done indeed. Now, Hubert and Charan have gone for bamboo.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Let's see if bamboo is right for the panda's diet.
0:34:22 > 0:34:23How many of our 100 people said it?
0:34:26 > 0:34:27It is right.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31Ooh, 90! 90 for bamboo. APPLAUSE
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Very well done, Jennifer and Naomi.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36That means after three questions you are through to the final 2-1.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37That's very good work, Jennifer.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39It's lovely when something comes into your head, and you think,
0:34:39 > 0:34:42"Now, hold on - is this something I know, or am I making this up?"
0:34:42 > 0:34:44So fair play to you for going for it as well.
0:34:44 > 0:34:49The name of the first giant panda to leave China was Su Lin.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Su Lin, and that would have scored you 1 point, and that leads you
0:34:52 > 0:34:55to the answer to the second one, the panda puppet - Soo.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59She would have scored you 54 points.
0:34:59 > 0:35:00She once won an episode of Weakest Link,
0:35:00 > 0:35:03beating Roland Rat in the final, Soo.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- That's... - It was a puppet special.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08And the conservation organisation is the WWF,
0:35:08 > 0:35:11and that would have scored 67.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12Thanks, Richard.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head,
0:35:15 > 0:35:17I'm afraid this time it's Hubert and Charan.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18You've done so well,
0:35:18 > 0:35:21fantastic consecutive head-to-head appearances.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Really good scoring throughout. It's been great having you on the show.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Thank you so much for playing. Hubert and Charan.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30APPLAUSE
0:35:30 > 0:35:34But for Jennifer and Naomi it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:37 > 0:35:38Congratulations, Jennifer and Naomi.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41You have fought off all the competition and you have won
0:35:41 > 0:35:45- our coveted Pointless trophy. - Yay!
0:35:49 > 0:35:51You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:51 > 0:35:54and at the end of today's show, let's not forget,
0:35:54 > 0:35:56the jackpot is standing at an impressive £6,000.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58APPLAUSE
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Well done. Just first - first and only - appearance on the show.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05I know. Don't know how that happened.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08We started off with more forested countries than the UK,
0:36:08 > 0:36:11and we had Burma and we had Luxembourg.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15- Burma, I think scored 2, was that right?- Yeah.- Luxembourg scored 1.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- Yeah.- She's always trying to outdo me.- Well, there you are.
0:36:19 > 0:36:20Well, as always,
0:36:20 > 0:36:23you have to choose your category from the four we put up.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Today's selection looks like this.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38- Erm... Obviously not football. - No.- Or opera.- No.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40- Want to do Dickens at the BBC? - Yeah.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- We're going to go for Dickens at the BBC.- Dickens at the BBC.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44OK, very best of luck.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47We are looking for the names of anyone who acted in any of
0:36:47 > 0:36:49the following BBC TV series.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52We're looking for anybody credited in...
0:37:03 > 0:37:04All of those on the BBC.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08So anyone credited for Bleak House, Little Dorrit or Oliver Twist.
0:37:08 > 0:37:09Very best of luck.
0:37:09 > 0:37:10There we are.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14OK, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers
0:37:16 > 0:37:17to be pointless.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19- Are you ready? - Yes.- I think so.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Your time starts now.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25- Do you know any of these? - Not really.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28- Let's have a guess at Oliver Twist, then.- OK.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Just random actors or actresses.
0:37:30 > 0:37:31Yeah, anybody.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36Erm, I don't know. I was thinking, like, Timothy Spalding, maybe.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, go for him, yeah.
0:37:39 > 0:37:40Erm... Let me think.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Erm... Oh, gosh.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Just trying to think who might have been in it.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50- Erm...- Just some random actors and actresses that do period dramas.
0:37:50 > 0:37:51Let's go for...
0:37:54 > 0:37:55..James Fox.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- OK, and Laurence Fox.- Well, go on, then. Go for Laurence Fox, then.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02No, let's go for Laurence Fox. We've seen him today.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- Erm, I dunno.- Erm...
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Dunno. Shall we go for...?
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- Billie Piper?- Yeah, go on, then. - Ten seconds left.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18Gosh, I don't really know.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23- Can't think of any at the moment. - No. No.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25OK, that is your time up, I'm afraid.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27I now need your three answers.
0:38:27 > 0:38:28Well, we co...
0:38:28 > 0:38:31It's a difficult category, but we've gone for cast of Oliver Twist.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33- OK, all three answers are from Oliver Twist?- Yeah.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37- Yeah, we've gone for Laurence Fox. - Laurence Fox.- Erm, who'd you say?
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- Timothy Spalding. - Timothy Spalding.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43- Who was the other one?- Oh...
0:38:43 > 0:38:45- Billie Piper, wasn't it?- Yeah, we... - Well, that'll be nice.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- Nice for Laurence. - Yeah, exactly.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49There we are.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51So, OK, of those three,
0:38:51 > 0:38:54which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:54 > 0:38:56- Timothy Spalding.- Yeah. - Timothy Spalding we'll put last.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58- Least likely to be pointless? BOTH:- Billie Piper.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Billie Piper we'll put first.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02OK, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order,
0:39:02 > 0:39:04then, and here they are.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06We've got Billie Piper, we've got Laurence Fox,
0:39:06 > 0:39:08and we have got Timothy Spalding.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Well, very best of luck.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Now, if one of these answers turned out to be right and pointless,
0:39:13 > 0:39:18let's just imagine, it could happen. £6,000 would be yours, suddenly.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20What would you do with that, Jennifer?
0:39:20 > 0:39:23- Well, you can never have enough fabric.- No, I was just saying...
0:39:23 > 0:39:25I was literally just saying that to Richard.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Talking about his trousers, but...
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Naomi, anything in particular you've got your eye on?
0:39:33 > 0:39:37No, we kind of said that we'd like to do a craft business,
0:39:37 > 0:39:41- maybe, so it might start something like that.- That would be great.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43- Yeah.- I don't know how many people have set up businesses based on
0:39:43 > 0:39:47- Pointless jackpot wins... - No. - ..but you could be a first there.
0:39:47 > 0:39:48So, in the first case,
0:39:48 > 0:39:53we were looking for actors from the BBC adaptation of Oliver Twist.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55You've gone for Billie Piper.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57This is your least confident answer,
0:39:57 > 0:40:00but if it's right and if it's pointless, it'll win you £6,000.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Let's find out how many people said Billie Piper. Is it right?
0:40:06 > 0:40:08No, I'm afraid it's not. I'm afraid...
0:40:08 > 0:40:10- She'd have been brilliant in that. - Oh, yeah, she would.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12- In any number of roles. - She could have been.- Nancy, maybe.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15You never know. So, unfortunately not a pointless answer, though,
0:40:15 > 0:40:17so only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Your next answer was Laurence Fox.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Once again, we were looking for the BBC adaptation of Oliver Twist.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26If it's right, and pointless, it'll win you £6,000.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28How many people said Laurence Fox?
0:40:30 > 0:40:33No, I'm sorry.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35I'm afraid that is incorrect as well,
0:40:35 > 0:40:38which means everything is now riding on your third and final answer.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Timothy Spalding.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44And we are looking for members of the cast from the BBC
0:40:44 > 0:40:46adaptation of Oliver Twist.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Timothy Spalding has to be right, then it has to be pointless.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52If it's both of those things, you win £6,000.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54How many people said Timothy Spalding?
0:40:58 > 0:41:02No, I'm sorry. Oh, bad luck. APPLAUSE
0:41:02 > 0:41:06A really tough category, but you found three answers there.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08I'm afraid none of them turned out to be correct,
0:41:08 > 0:41:11so I'm afraid you don't win our jackpot today, of £6,000
0:41:11 > 0:41:13- that will roll over onto the next show -
0:41:13 > 0:41:16but we've really enjoyed having you on, and you've been brilliant
0:41:16 > 0:41:19all the way across, right through to the final in your first appearance.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21And you get a Pointless trophy for your trouble, so there you are.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Very, very well done. Jennifer and Naomi.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25APPLAUSE
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Yeah, Timothy Spall you're thinking of, who played Fagin, of course.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33- Oh, yeah.- There's only two actors who scored points in that -
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Timothy Spall, and Tom Hardy as well, scored points for Oliver Twist.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38There's big actors in all of these,
0:41:38 > 0:41:40so very well done if you got any of these at home.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42If you enjoyed any of these series,
0:41:42 > 0:41:44you may well have got pointless answers.
0:41:44 > 0:41:45We'll start with Bleak House.

0:41:56 > 0:41:58The only ones that scored points there - Gillian Anderson
0:41:58 > 0:42:00would have scored you points, Johnny Vegas, Timothy West,
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Anna Maxwell Martin, Denis Lawson and Charles Dance.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Everybody else was a pointless answer.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Well done if you said something else.
0:42:07 > 0:42:08Cast of Little Dorrit now.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Again, some big actors here.

0:42:16 > 0:42:20Roy Huddersfield, Ruth Jones from Gavin & Stacey.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Amanda Redman was a pointless answer,

0:42:45 > 0:42:47and sorry in the studio.
0:42:47 > 0:42:48- That jackpot keeps going up. - Doesn't it just?
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Well, unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you,
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Jennifer and Naomi, but it's been wonderful having you on the show.
0:42:53 > 0:42:54Thank you so much for playing.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Sadly, Jennifer and Naomi didn't win our jackpot today, which means
0:42:57 > 0:43:01it rolls over onto the next show, when we will be playing for £7,000.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05APPLAUSE
0:43:05 > 0:43:09Join us next time to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...
