0:00:18 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
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 where the aim of the game is to avoid the obvious answers,
0:00:27 > 0:00:29and find the obscure ones.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Hi, I'm Jack, this is my best friend, Meena,
0:00:38 > 0:00:39and we're from Bristol.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Couple number two.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Hi, I'm Colette, this is my mum, Corinne,
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- and we're from Lincolnshire. - Couple number three.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Hello, I'm Alison, this is my partner, Alan,
0:00:47 > 0:00:48and we're from South Yorkshire.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50And finally, couple number four.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Nash, this is James, and we're PhD students in Leicester.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55And these are today's contestants.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56APPLAUSE
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Thanks very much, all of you. A warm welcome to Pointless.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02We'll get to chat to each of you of course throughout the show
0:01:02 > 0:01:03as it goes along.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Here to clear things up, like a lovable school janitor,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- LAUGHTER - Hiya.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13- APPLAUSE - Hey, everybody.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Afternoon.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon.- How are you?
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- I'm very well. - Now, James and Nash back with us.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21We just heard they're PhD students from Leicester.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Yes, yes.- Two extra bits of information we didn't hear.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25They're PhD students in film,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28and they got knocked out of the last show on a film question.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- AUDIENCE CHUCKLES AND GROANS - That's the extra information.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33But knocked out in the head-to-head, so they'll be tough to beat.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35And Alan and Alison, knocked out in round one.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38And I suspect they've got unfinished business with Pointless, as well.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40So, should be a lot of fun, I think.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Thank you very much. Well, Nigel and Katie didn't win the jackpot
0:01:42 > 0:01:44last time, which means we add another £1,000 to it,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47so today's jackpot starts off...
0:01:47 > 0:01:48at £5,000.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50CHEERING AND APPLAUSE There we are.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54APPLAUSE
0:01:59 > 0:02:00OK, now, remember this.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02The pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:02 > 0:02:05will be eliminated, and there is to be no conferring
0:02:05 > 0:02:07until we get to the head-to-head round.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Our first category today is...
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:16 > 0:02:17who's going to go second?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20And whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26OK. And our question concerns...
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- National Flags In Black And White, Richard.- It's really, really good.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35We're going to show you a board now of lots of
0:02:35 > 0:02:37national flags of the world, but in black and white.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39So you just have to notice them by the pattern alone.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Obviously, the most obscure answer you get, the fewer points you score.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Thank you very much. OK. So we're going to show you the image.
0:02:44 > 0:02:4616 flags up on that board.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48It will stay up for the whole round.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Here is the image with the flags on it.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Wow. There we go.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58It's less scary than it sounds, right?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Mm. Jack, a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02- Good to have you here from Bristol.- Yeah.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04What do you do, Jack?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07I've just finished my degree and I'm on a gap year at the minute.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- That's... So taking your gap year after your degree? That's nice.- Yes.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14So you haven't set yourself any sort of goals for the next year or so?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Well, I've got a job that starts in August.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Ah, right. I see.- Yeah, so I had like a year off to like...
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- do a bit of travelling.- I see, and what job are you starting?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Marketing.- So where are you doing that, Jack?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- London.- Oh, so moving from Bristol up to London.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Have you yet worked out where you're going to be living in London?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- Hopefully with Meena. Hopefully. - Yeah. Let's hope it goes all well
0:03:33 > 0:03:35today on the show today. LAUGHTER
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Now, Jack, what are you going to go for?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I think I know a few, but I think they're quite obvious.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- I'm going to go for India. - OK. You're going to take India.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Let's see if India is right.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53It's right.
0:03:57 > 0:03:5926 for India. APPLAUSE
0:04:00 > 0:04:01There we are.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Yes, absolutely right. Top row there.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Second from the right.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Thanks very much, Richard.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Now then, Colette.- Hi. - Welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Lovely to have you here. What do you do, Colette?
0:04:12 > 0:04:13I'm an events organiser.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- Where do you do your organising? - Well, I actually live in Edinburgh.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I suppose events happen everywhere, don't they?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22They do, but I work for a charity in Scotland,
0:04:22 > 0:04:23so I'm Scottish-based.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24I see. I see.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27So how many events a year do you have to put on for them?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Well, we do a big award ceremony every year
0:04:29 > 0:04:31and then lots of different training and networking events.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Excellent. Hard work, I happen to know.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Yes.- Yeah, very early mornings.- Yes.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Early mornings, long hours, hotel rooms.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41There we are. Now, Colette, this issue of the flags.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Yes.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I'm going to play pretty safe.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47One that I know is right.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- I'm going to go Israel. - Israel, says Colette.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Let's see how many of our 100 people said Israel.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59It's right. Well, 26 is our opening score at this point.
0:04:59 > 0:05:0172 is our new score. APPLAUSE
0:05:02 > 0:05:0372.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Yeah, fairly hefty score there, for Israel, on the third row there.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07- Third in.- Thank you very much.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- Now, Alison. Welcome back to Pointless.- Hello again.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14We had to say goodbye to you in the first round last time.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15- Sadly. Yes.- Yes.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Yes, I'm afraid we did.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Remind us what you get up to, Alison.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21I'm a semi-retired accountant.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25And you were saying last time that you're trying to play more golf,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27but you seem to be working quite a lot, still.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Yes. Not enough time to get the handicap down and beat Alan at golf,
0:05:31 > 0:05:33which is my ambition.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Now there's a lofty ambition.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I'm guessing Alan is rather good, is he?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39He's better than me. He's better than me, yes.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Do you travel a lot? Yes, you do, we discovered that last time,
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- as well.- We do. We travel to Europe which makes last time's round
0:05:44 > 0:05:47particularly embarrassing really. We should have known more.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Yeah, hope that sets you up quite well for this round.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52What are you going to go for on this board?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Yeah, not too many European flags perhaps,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57but I'm going to go for South Africa.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58South Africa, says Alison.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Let's see how many of our 100 people went for South Africa.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05It's right. 72 is our highest score,
0:06:05 > 0:06:06and you pass it.
0:06:06 > 0:06:0826 is our low score.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09You stop at 37. APPLAUSE
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Not bad.- It's a solid score.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15There it is on the bottom row, second from the right.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17That's got lots of colours on it.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19They were using them up when they came up with the flag.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- Yeah.- Why wouldn't you? If we were coming up with a flag,
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- you'd have as many colours as possible, wouldn't you?- Yeah.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25What would you have on your flag?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Erm...
0:06:27 > 0:06:28a big...bear.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30I think in brown or black.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Maybe a bear with a gold bracelet.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- Lovely.- And...
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- a quiff. - And against maybe a red background?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- Cerise.- Cerise would be lovely.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42So black against cerise, bear with a bracelet.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43A bracelet and a quiff.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45I'm just going to draw yours quickly and then I'll...
0:06:45 > 0:06:46OK, that's nice. Lovely.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I'll do the... LAUGHTER
0:06:48 > 0:06:49OK, thank you very much.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Nash, welcome back.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51- Hi.- Great to have you here.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Now listen, you were the low scorers in the head-to-head last time,
0:06:54 > 0:06:56and you had it whipped away from under your noses.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59But actually, tactically, you did rather a canny thing there
0:06:59 > 0:07:02because the jackpot's just got a little bit bigger there.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Now, Nash, remind us what you do.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I'm doing a PhD in film history.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07- In film history.- Yes.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09But you're sort of studying the marketing of film
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- and the distribution of film.- Yeah, and also the exhibition of film,
0:07:12 > 0:07:15as well. What it was like to be in the cinema back in the transition
0:07:15 > 0:07:16from silent to sound period.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Of course, theatres always used to...
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- There was a huge fire risk in theatres...- Yes.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- ..because of all the naked flames and the...- Absolutely.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Was at the same in cinemas?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Hot, hot projectors and lenses and things?
0:07:27 > 0:07:32Yes, yes, it was. The first-ever sweeping law ever put into place
0:07:32 > 0:07:35for cinemas was to curb down fires, because there was a lot of fires!
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Yeah. Now, Nash, what would you like to go for from our board of flags?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41I've got inklings about a few.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44I think I spy the Spanish flag.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I'm going to go for Spain.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Spain, says Nash.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50You're getting a half nod from Alison.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53They travel to EUROPE a lot. LAUGHTER
0:07:53 > 0:07:54I think that could be a good sign.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Let's see how many of our 100 people said Spain.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00It's right.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Well, 72 still our highest score.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03You pass that.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Down it goes.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Look at this, our new low score for Spain.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08APPLAUSE Very well done indeed, Nash.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13"I think I spy the Spanish flag."
0:08:13 > 0:08:16It was like Sir Francis Drake had come back to visit us, wasn't it?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- I've drawn your flag. - Yeah.- I can't...
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- I haven't got cerise, I've only got a black pen.- That's OK.- So that's...
0:08:24 > 0:08:25- Oh, it's beautiful. - It's good, isn't it?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27LAUGHTER
0:08:27 > 0:08:29It's beautiful. That's exactly how I pictured it.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Would you like a Union Jack in the corner like some countries have?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Then people know if it's upside... They'll know it's upside down anyway cos the bear...- The bear.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- Otherwise it's going to look like that.- Yeah.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40I think it's important that we do have the Union Jack in the corner.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42All right, geez. I left a space.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- I offset the symmetry of it. - Good job. Good job.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- For exactly that.- Thank you very much, Richard.- Such a pleasure.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49We are halfway through the round,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51so I'm going to tell you where we are on our scores.
0:08:51 > 0:08:5322, the best score of the pass. Well done, Nash.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Nash and James once again looking like they mean business.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Then up to 26 where we find Jack and Meena.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Up to 37, where we find Alison and Alan and then,
0:09:00 > 0:09:03oh, Colette and Corinne. CORINNE CHUCKLES
0:09:03 > 0:09:04The issue of 72.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06We are quite far ahead there.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07So, Corinne,
0:09:07 > 0:09:08you know what we need from you.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11I mean, you know, there will be some low scoring flags there.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13I really hope you know one because it'd be great.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15It'd be just awful to send you away after the first round.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16Coming back down the line, now.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Second players, please step up to the podium.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Now then, James, welcome back.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Remind us what you do.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I am also a PhD student in film history.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30But focusing very much on Stanley Kubrick.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Yes, all about the film director Stanley Kubrick.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Any particular period of Kubrick,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36or do you go right the way from Soup to Nuts?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- Soup to Nuts, yeah. - That's it!
0:09:38 > 0:09:41It's looking specifically at his role as producer,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43so just looking throughout his entire career.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45How long have you got to write it?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- About a year.- Oh, that's fine. JAMES CHUCKLES
0:09:47 > 0:09:49That's fine. But I mean, you've planned it, though?
0:09:49 > 0:09:53You only haven't written it because you've been doing so much hard work on it, I should think.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Exactly.- That's it, talking to interesting people.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56And going on the occasional game show.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58LAUGHTER Now, you are on 22.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00The highest score is on 72,
0:10:00 > 0:10:02which means 49 or less is your target.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06There's quite a few flags on there.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08I don't know whether to... take a risk.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12I'm going to say...
0:10:12 > 0:10:13And I apologise, Nash, in advance.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15I'm going to say South Korea.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17South Korea, says James.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Here is your Red Line. Get below that with South Korea,
0:10:20 > 0:10:21round two beckons.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27It's right.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Very well done, look at that. Down you go.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33Oh, still going.
0:10:33 > 0:10:3420! A new low!
0:10:34 > 0:10:35APPLAUSE
0:10:36 > 0:10:3742 is your total,
0:10:37 > 0:10:39very well done, James and Nash.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Safely through. Yeah, there it is on the second row.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44They eat seaweed soup for their birthday in South Korea.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Not everybody, but... it's a tradition.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47- Seaweed soup?- Yeah.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50- There you are.- Mm, seaweed soup. - LAUGHTER
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Thanks very much indeed.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Alan, welcome back.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Alan, remind us what you did.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56You had a fascinating job.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01I had a business that manufactured parts for big marine diesel engines.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04So, what was the biggest part you manufactured?
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Some sort of...
0:11:05 > 0:11:06The biggest part for an engine?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Yeah.- Well, we made piston rings.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Right.- Cylinder size were about a meter on the biggest ones.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14So, colossal,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16and these were manufactured in the UK?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Manufactured in Chesterfield. Yes.- Fantastic. That's still going?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- The factory itself, still going? - The factory is still thriving, yes.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Excellent. Fantastic.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25And now you have retired.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Obviously, we've covered golf.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28And we've touched on the travel, as well.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30What other sorts of things do you like doing?
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Anything outdoors.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34So running, walking, cycling.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Excellent. Good for you.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Now, Alan, you're on 37.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40The high score is still Corinne and Colette on 72.
0:11:40 > 0:11:4234 or less is your target.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46I'm going to try for Cyprus.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Cyprus.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Cyprus, says Alan.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Here is your Red Line.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Get below that, you are through to the next round.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54How many of our 100 people said Cyprus?
0:11:57 > 0:11:58It's right.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Very well done, Alan. There you go. 25.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Taking your total up to 62.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Yeah, there's Cyprus. It's got a map of itself on its flag.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14Oh, I finished your flag.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Oh, let's have a look.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18So, you've got the Union Jack,
0:12:18 > 0:12:21and Ben Miller has turned up in the corner of it...
0:12:21 > 0:12:22- saying, "Hi, I'm Ben Miller." - LAUGHTER
0:12:22 > 0:12:24That looks so like Ben!
0:12:24 > 0:12:25- It's good, isn't it? - It's really good.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Yeah, I got him to pose for that while you were talking.- Ohh.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Good work, isn't it?- Very good.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31- Thank you, Richard.- Pleasure.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Now then, Corinne.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34Welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you here.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39- What do you do, Corinne?- Well, I don't do anything any more.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Because what I did do,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44I gave it up so I could do what I do at the weekends.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47- Did you get that? - Let us unpack that.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50OK. And you gave up with glee?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- You were happy to walk away? - Oh, God, yes. I couldn't wait.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55You are now doing nothing,
0:12:55 > 0:12:57because you gave that up in order to do what you...
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Because it takes me till Wednesday to get over the weekend.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04You're a professional clubber? LAUGHTER
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Raver? What is it?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- Pretty much.- What do you do at the weekend?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Well, I'm a original Northern Souler.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- You ARE a clubber!- Yeah.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- Wow.- So back in the '70s, that was OK, you know,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19it was all night, two nights, all day,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22and then work on Monday morning.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23But now, you know...
0:13:23 > 0:13:26But you're still doing it, that's fantastic.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Wonderful. Where...
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Is there a particular place you go, or...
0:13:30 > 0:13:31- Just everywhere.- Everywhere.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- Everywhere.- Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle...
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Places you've never heard of.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Rooms that you never, ever want to go in.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- LAUGHTER - That sort of thing.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I'm trying to read Colette's expression.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46LAUGHTER
0:13:46 > 0:13:49She's got a better social life than me.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- Fact.- Now then, Corinne.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- You're on 72. You're the high scorers at this stage.- Yes.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56So we need a low score from you.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58What are you going to go for on this board?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Georgia.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- Georgia...- Yes.- ..says Corinne.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05No Red Line for you, as you're the highest scorers.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Let's see how many of our 100 people said Georgia.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10It's right.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15That's a good score, down it goes.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Look at that, seven. APPLAUSE
0:14:17 > 0:14:20The lowest score of the round, Corinne.
0:14:20 > 0:14:2279 is what your total is.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24I wonder if you've done enough.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26That's a great answer, yeah. Very well played.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28That's the one on the third row there, on the left, with the...
0:14:28 > 0:14:30with the five different crosses.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31There we are, thank you, Richard.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Now, Meena, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- What do you do?- I'm a subeditor on a newspaper.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39On a daily newspaper?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Yeah.- Is it a daily newspaper we know?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- Yes.- Which department do you sub-edit?
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- The tablet edition of the paper. - I see.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50And how many editions a day go up on the tablet edition?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Well, we build the night before
0:14:53 > 0:14:55so it's ready for people to read the next day,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57and then there's an update, as well.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- OK, so just one update every 24 hours?- Yeah.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02What's the time of day, is it sort of lunchtime-ish kind of thing?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- Yeah.- Right, OK. That keeps you on your toes, doesn't it?- Yes!
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Wow-ee! And, if necessary, when stories are breaking,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- do you then have sort of more instant updates?- Yes.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Yeah. It's quite exciting.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13That's the thing I love, actually.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16When something exciting happens, everything's rushing around.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18That's when it gets pretty good.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Yeah. News coming in on the wire.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Very exciting indeed.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Now, 26, talking of exciting, is your score at the moment.
0:15:24 > 0:15:2652 or less is your target.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Not many flags left on there, I imagine.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Quite a lot of the middling flags have gone.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Some very obscure ones and some very well-known ones.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37I am thinking of taking a risk.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I'm going to go for Sri Lanka.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Sri Lanka, says Meena.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Sri Lanka. I can't read Jack's expression.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49He's fairly easy with that at the moment, Meena.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50There is your Red Line.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52If you get below that with Sri Lanka,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55you are through to the next round. How many people said Sri Lanka?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- Oh, thank God.- It's right!
0:16:00 > 0:16:02And, guess what? It gets you through.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Very well done indeed.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06And how! 14. APPLAUSE
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Taking your total up to a lovely round 40.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Great work, Meena, well played.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Yeah, the first country ever to elect a female head of state,
0:16:15 > 0:16:16Sri Lanka, in 1960.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Shall we fill in the rest of this board?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20On the top row, there's two we haven't got.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Actually, the highest answer on the board, next to Sri Lanka, there,
0:16:23 > 0:16:24- is...- Oh, Canada.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Canada, yes. 91 for that. And top right?- Switzerland?
0:16:27 > 0:16:28Switzerland, 64.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Now, best answer on the board.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Second row, first one, is...
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Cambodia. Would have scored you one point.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Very well done if you said that.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38And then next to South Korea you've got Bhutan,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40which would have scored you two points.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42United States would have scored you 88.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45The third row, the only one we haven't had is Brazil.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46That would have scored you 48.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50And the lovely triangular flag there, at the bottom left.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- That is Nepal.- Nepal, yeah. Eight points for that.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55And the only other one we haven't got, the bottom right,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- the wonderful country of...- Lebanon.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Lebanon, yes. And that would have scored you 17.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Thank you very much indeed. So, we are at the end of our first round.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04The pair we have to say goodbye to... I can't bear it!
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Corinne and Colette! You only just got here.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Oh, we were just getting to know you!
0:17:09 > 0:17:10And already we send you away.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Good news is, we'll see you again next time. Corrine and Colette.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13APPLAUSE
0:17:16 > 0:17:17But for the remaining three pairs,
0:17:17 > 0:17:18it's now time for round two.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26And, now, look, we're down to three pairs.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30But, well done, everyone.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32We made it through the black and white flags round, which is good.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Meena, of the surviving contestants,
0:17:35 > 0:17:36yours was the best answer.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38So, yeah, hats off to you.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Our category for round two today is:
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going to go first,
0:17:46 > 0:17:48who's going to go second. And whoever's going first,
0:17:48 > 0:17:50please, step up to the podium.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55OK. And the question concerns:
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Richard. On each board, simply six clues to famous people
0:18:02 > 0:18:03known as Jane.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05So, it's going to be 12 in all to have a go at home. Good luck.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08So, who are these famous Janes? Here's our first board.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57Jack?
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Yes.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00So, I feel I know a few, but...
0:19:00 > 0:19:03It's much harder when you're here than when you're at home.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I do know....
0:19:07 > 0:19:10the third one down, it's just on the tip of my tongue.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I'm going to have to go for the fourth one down,
0:19:13 > 0:19:15and say Jane Austen.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Jane Austen, says Jack.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23It's right.
0:19:26 > 0:19:2742. Not bad. APPLAUSE
0:19:32 > 0:19:34All of the novels published during her career were anonymous.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37After she passed away, Persuasion was published under her own name.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Thank you very much. Now, then...
0:19:40 > 0:19:41Alan.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44Difficult board for me.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49The only one I can bring to mind is the last one...
0:19:49 > 0:19:51which is Jane Torvill.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Jane Torvill, says Alan.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jane Torvill.
0:20:00 > 0:20:0277 for Jane Torvill. APPLAUSE
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Big score, there.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07Yeah, she used to be an insurance clerk,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10before she became a national treasure.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Thank you very much. Now, James, this board is all yours.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14All these Janes are yours, James.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15James's Janes.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Unfortunately, number two, I delivered a conference paper...
0:20:21 > 0:20:24..and I name checked that person several times,
0:20:24 > 0:20:26but the name now escapes me.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28The two Janes that I did know have gone.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30So, I'll just have to take a risk.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32And that first one, it's a film one again,
0:20:32 > 0:20:36so this is really embarrassing, I'm just going to say...Jane Fonda.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Jane Fonda, says James.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Well, it earns a buzz from the audience.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Let's find out what that means.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Jane Fonda. Is it right?
0:20:44 > 0:20:45And if it is, how many people said Jane Fonda?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50No. I'm afraid not.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Jane Fonda, James, scores you 100 points.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56I think that was a disapproving buzz from an entire coach.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- LAUGHTER - I think, there...
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Jane Russell was the answer.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Good answer, though, would have scored you 11 points.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Now, the primatologist whose name you had referred to
0:21:04 > 0:21:06was Jane Goodall. Would have scored you nine points.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- Played Sue Sylvester in Glee. Have you remembered yet?- No.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Jane Lynch.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Would have scored seven.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- And the actress and entrepreneur... - Jane Asher.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Jane Asher. And she would have scored 36.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18So, the best answer on the board is Jane Lynch.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- Well done if you said that. - Thanks very much.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22We're halfway through the round. Let's have a look at those scores.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Ooh! They're all high ending, I would say, these scores.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Apart from 42, of course, Jack.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Jack and Meena looking very strong there.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31At 77, Alan and Alison.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33And 100, James and Nash.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35I mean, Nash, anything could happen on the next board
0:21:35 > 0:21:38but make sure you don't go for a nice, comfortable easy answer.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40It needs to be a low score. We're coming back down the line, now.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:45 > 0:21:49OK, let's put six more clues on the board, and here they come.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50We have got...
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I'll read all of those again.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44There we are. Now, remember, we're looking for these famous Janes.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47And, Nash, we need a low scoring one from you.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51I think I've got a couple.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57I'm going to go for the New Zealand director as Jane Campion.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Jane Campion, says Nash.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01No red line for you as you're the highest scorers,
0:23:01 > 0:23:04but let's see how far down the column we get with Jane Campion.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09It's right. I think this is going to be a very good score.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Look at that, Nash. Very well done indeed.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Four. APPLAUSE
0:23:16 > 0:23:18It's exactly what we needed.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20And you might have kept yourselves in the game there.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Very well done.- Great work, Nash, given yourself a chance there.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25She won an Oscar for her screenplay for The Piano.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Nominated, as well, as director, but didn't win.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Thanks very much, Richard.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Alison. Alison, you're on 77.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35The high scorers, at the moment, 104, Nash and James.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37So, 26 or less.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40I think I'm going to go for the fifth one.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42The third wife of Henry VIII,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44and say Jane Seymour.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Jane Seymour, says Alison.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49There is your red line.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54It's right.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58APPLAUSE 50 for that.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01127 is your total.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Nash and James, welcome back into the game.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05Very nicely done.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Yeah, the first of his wives not to undergo a coronation.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Jane Seymour. I imagine, by that time, he thought, what's the point?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- He's going to run out of crowns. - Yeah, exactly.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Thanks very much. Now then, Meena,
0:24:18 > 0:24:19you are on 42.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23If you can score 84 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27I have no idea about any of the ones that are left, unfortunately,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29so I'm going to have to guess.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32And I'm going to say Jane Fonda for the first one.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35For Barbarella? Jane Fonda, says Meena.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Complete guess.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38There is your red line.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41If you get below it, you are through to the next round.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43How many of our 100 people said Jane Fonda?
0:24:46 > 0:24:47It is Jane Fonda.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49And through you go to the head-to-head.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Very well done indeed. APPLAUSE
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Scores you 72, which is good enough,
0:24:53 > 0:24:55taking your total up to 114.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Yeah. Very well played, Meena,
0:24:57 > 0:24:58that was nicely done, wasn't it?
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Goodness me. The best actress Oscar winner
0:25:01 > 0:25:03and married to Reagan was Jane Wyman.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Audience, the blonde bombshell?
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Jayne Mansfield.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Jayne Mansfield. Absolutely.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08That would have scored 24.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- And played Bubble in Absolutely Fabulous?- Jane Horrocks.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Jane Horrocks. And she would have scored you 48.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15So, Jane Campion, Nash, best answer on the board.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17There we are. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19So at the end of our second round, the pair we have to say goodbye to,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22I'm afraid, Alison and Alan, for the second time.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Been wonderful having you on.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25I'm sorry we haven't got you further than this.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27But very well played. Great to have you here.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Thank you so much. Alison and Alan.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30APPLAUSE
0:25:33 > 0:25:35But for James and Nash, Jack and Meena,
0:25:35 > 0:25:37it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38APPLAUSE
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Congratulations, James and Nash, Jack and Meena.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46You are now one step closer to the final
0:25:46 > 0:25:48and the chance to play for our jackpot,
0:25:48 > 0:25:51which currently stands at £5,000.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:25:54 > 0:25:56So, here we are. We've reached the head-to-head
0:25:56 > 0:25:58which means you can now confer before giving your answers.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Jack and Meena. First appearance on the show,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06straight through to the head-to-head. Very, very well done.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09James and Nash, your second appearance on the show.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Second appearance in the head-to-head round
0:26:11 > 0:26:13and as our low scoring pair.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Yeah, you gave us a bit of a run-around there.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Nash, you did very, very well to dig James out
0:26:17 > 0:26:19after his incorrect answer in that last round.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23But, here you are, back as our golden couple.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27APPLAUSE
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Here is your first question. And it concerns:
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Richard.- Going to show you now the names of five works of art
0:26:40 > 0:26:42and the initials of the gallery you will find them in.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Can you tell us what those galleries are, please?
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Thank you very much indeed.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49OK. Let's reveal our five works of art and here they come.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50We have got...
0:27:09 > 0:27:11I'll read those all again.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26James and Nash will go first.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27WHISPERING
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Um, I think...
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Ooh, this is a tricky one. I think we're going to try the first one.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38The National Gallery.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41The National Gallery, say James and Nash. The National Gallery.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Jack and Meena, talk us through the rest of the board, if you can.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46We know that the third one down is The Louvre.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50We think the fourth one down is a museum in Amsterdam.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52But I don't know how to pronounce it correctly.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54THEY LAUGH
0:27:54 > 0:27:57It's, like R I J K S museum.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Cos I feel like The Louvre is going to be higher
0:27:59 > 0:28:00than The National Gallery.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02We'll go for Rijksmuseum.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04- The Rijksmuseum.- Yes, yes.- OK.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08So, we have The National Gallery and we have the Rijksmuseum.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11James and Nash have gone for The National Gallery.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Let's see if that's right for The Hay Wain.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14Let's see how many people said it.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19It's right.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24APPLAUSE
0:28:27 > 0:28:2831.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Jack and Meena have gone for the Rijksmuseum.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34Is it right?
0:28:37 > 0:28:39It is absolutely right.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40THEY CHUCKLE
0:28:40 > 0:28:41- Go lower! Go lower! Go! Go!- Amazing.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43And there you are, wins you the point.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44Very well done, indeed.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Down it goes to six, the Rijksmuseum.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:28:49 > 0:28:51And it means after one question Jack and Meena are up 1-0.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53And you spelt it beautifully.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54Absolutely perfect, yeah, very well done.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57It's pronounced "Raiks" museum, but the spelling was exemplary.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00And it's a right answer, as well.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Now, the birth of Venus, Sandro Botticelli,
0:29:02 > 0:29:03- is in...- The Uffizi.
0:29:03 > 0:29:04the Uffizi. Yep.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06That would have scored you 12.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08You were right to avoid the Louvre.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Would have scored 61.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12And the best answer up there...
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Guernica, one of the most famous paintings of the 20th century
0:29:15 > 0:29:17is in the Reina Sofia in Madrid.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19And if you knew that, you've just got a pointless answer.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21- Very well done.- Thank you very much, indeed, Richard.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23So, here comes your second question.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25James and Nash, I'm getting deja vu here.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27You have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:29:27 > 0:29:28So, best of luck,
0:29:28 > 0:29:30because Jack and Meena will get to answer it first.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Our second question is all about...
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Fictional soldiers, Richard.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Yeah, even worse news, gents, this is a film question.
0:29:39 > 0:29:40LAUGHTER
0:29:40 > 0:29:42We're going to show you five pictures now of fictional soldiers
0:29:42 > 0:29:45in films. We need you to tell us the name of the film, please.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47OK. Let's reveal our five fictional soldiers and here they come.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50We have got...
0:30:13 > 0:30:14There we are.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Five fictional soldiers.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18You just need to tell us which films they are from.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Jack and Meena will go first.
0:30:21 > 0:30:22WHISPERING
0:30:26 > 0:30:27OK.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30We are, kind of, taking a guess.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34- THEY CHUCKLE - As usual.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38And we're going to say The Hurt Locker, for C.
0:30:38 > 0:30:39C, The Hurt Locker.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44C, The Hurt Locker. Now, James and Nash, that board is all yours.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47If you want to talk us through it and supply names.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Well, I think we know four of them.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53I famously know D because I once projected it upside down
0:30:53 > 0:30:55- during a lecture. - LAUGHTER
0:30:55 > 0:30:57- And they couldn't tell. - And they couldn't tell.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59That was Apocalypse Now.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01I think C is Jarhead.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03C is Jarhead.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05A is The Hurt Locker.
0:31:05 > 0:31:06And B's Saving Private Ryan.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Can't remember the name of E...
0:31:08 > 0:31:10even though I've seen it.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13But shall we go... Which one shall we go for?
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Let's go Apocalypse Now.
0:31:15 > 0:31:16Might as well. Apocalypse Now.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18OK, you're going to say D, Apocalypse Now.
0:31:18 > 0:31:23So, we have The Hurt Locker for C,
0:31:23 > 0:31:24from Jack and Meena.
0:31:24 > 0:31:25Let's see if that's right,
0:31:25 > 0:31:28let's see how many of our 100 people said The Hurt Locker for C.
0:31:30 > 0:31:31No. Not right.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32Which means, James and Nash,
0:31:32 > 0:31:35you merely have to be correct with this and you are back in the game,
0:31:35 > 0:31:38and you have gone for Apocalypse Now, for D.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45Well done. Back in.
0:31:50 > 0:31:5220. APPLAUSE
0:31:53 > 0:31:5520 for Apocalypse now.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58And that means, after two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00That landed very nicely. He looks so young there, Martin Sheen,
0:32:00 > 0:32:02- doesn't he?- Yeah. - Isn't that amazing?
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Took us through the board beautifully there.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06A is The Hurt Locker.
0:32:06 > 0:32:07That would have scored you eight points.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09It's the best answer up there, actually.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Saving Private Ryan's 52 points.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Jarhead. Quite right. That's 16 points.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21- And the last one?- Private Benjamin.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Private Benjamin, that would have scored 51.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25Thank you very much indeed.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28OK, here comes the third question. This is the decider.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31James and Nash, this is where you went out last time.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Is that going to happen again, I wonder? Let's see.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Best of luck to both pairs.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Our third question is all about...
0:32:39 > 0:32:41LAUGHTER
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- Richard?- I like that it gets a laugh at least.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Yeah. Were going to show you five clues now about the wonderful city
0:32:48 > 0:32:51of Norwich. Whichever team gives us the most obscure answer
0:32:51 > 0:32:54is going through to play for that £5,000 jackpot.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Let's reveal our five clues. Here they come. We've got...
0:33:16 > 0:33:17I'll read them again.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36James and Nash will go first.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40I think we're going to take a bit of a risk.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42We know a few but we think they might be high-scoring.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46So, I'm going to go for the bottom one and Nash is going to hate me
0:33:46 > 0:33:48if this is wrong.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Sir John Houblon?
0:33:50 > 0:33:53H O U B L O N.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57Sir John Houblon, says James.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00OK. Sir John Houblon, for the Quaker philanthropist.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Now then, Jack and Meena.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03It's over to you.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Talk us through that board, if you can.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08We know the DJ, which is Alan Partridge.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12And we think the cookery writer might be Delia Smith.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14But shall we go for that?
0:34:14 > 0:34:15Yeah...
0:34:15 > 0:34:17We're going to go for Delia Smith, the cookery writer.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20Delia Smith, say Jack and Meena.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23So, Sir John Houblon is James and Nash's answer
0:34:23 > 0:34:26for the Quaker philanthropist. Let's see if that's right.
0:34:26 > 0:34:27Sir John Houblon.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29How many people said it, if it's right?
0:34:33 > 0:34:34No!
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Oh, I'm sorry.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Pointless loves it when people do that cos quite often they're right.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- I think I know the right answer now. - Oh, I'm sorry!
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Anyway, Jack and Meena, you merely have to be right with Delia Smith,
0:34:44 > 0:34:47which is also a bit of a punt for the cookery writer.
0:34:47 > 0:34:48Let's see if it's right.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50If it is, you go through to the final.
0:34:54 > 0:34:55I'm afraid...
0:34:56 > 0:34:58- Ooh!- ..for James and Nash's sake...
0:34:59 > 0:35:01..that is a correct answer.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03It means very well done, Jack and Meena.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06After three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Yeah. Sir John Houblon,
0:35:08 > 0:35:10he was the first governor of the Bank of England.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12- Who would you have gone for now? - Elizabeth Fry.
0:35:12 > 0:35:13It was Elizabeth Fry.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Yeah, it was Elizabeth Fry,
0:35:15 > 0:35:17and she would have seen you through to the final, as well.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19- Just eight points. - GENERAL GROANING
0:35:19 > 0:35:20That is unlucky.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22- Author of His Dark Materials? - Philip Pullman.
0:35:22 > 0:35:23Philip Pullman. 28 Points.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25It lies on the river...
0:35:25 > 0:35:26Wensum.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Wensum, and that would have scored you five.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30And you're quite right about Steve Coogan.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31Played Alan Partridge.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33And would have scored 40 points.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37So the pair leaving as at the end of the head-to-head round
0:35:37 > 0:35:41for the second time, I'm afraid, it's James and Nash.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42Oh...
0:35:42 > 0:35:43I'm sorry. Pointless bridesmaids,
0:35:43 > 0:35:45never Pointless brides. LAUGHTER
0:35:45 > 0:35:47I'm so sorry. It's been wonderful having you on both shows.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Really strong performance.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Very exciting performance across this show.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52You kept us on tenterhooks, there.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Thank you so much for playing. James and Nash, very well done.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57APPLAUSE
0:35:59 > 0:36:01But for Jack and Meena, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03APPLAUSE
0:36:05 > 0:36:06Well, congratulations,
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Jack and Meena, you've seen off all the competition.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11And you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £5,000.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:36:27 > 0:36:28Well, what about that?
0:36:28 > 0:36:30One show, you just come straight in,
0:36:30 > 0:36:32straight through to the final,
0:36:32 > 0:36:34and now playing for a massive jackpot.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37What would you particularly like to see come up in this last round?
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Well, literature, so that Meena can answer all of the questions.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43- HE GIGGLES - Music would be quite good.- Yeah.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- Music would be good. Like, Pop music.- Yeah.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- What else? A bit more geography? - Some geography. That'd be good.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51OK. Well, you know what it's like in this last round.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53We put four things up on the board there
0:36:53 > 0:36:56and you've just got to hope for something that is close to something
0:36:56 > 0:36:57- that you might know.- Yeah.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Best of luck. Let's see what today's selection looks like.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01We've got...
0:37:02 > 0:37:04THEY LAUGH IN DISBELIEF
0:37:08 > 0:37:09SYMPATHETIC LAUGHTER
0:37:09 > 0:37:11- Oh!- Right.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Can we do that again?
0:37:13 > 0:37:15LAUGHTER
0:37:16 > 0:37:19I've no idea... I'm thinking Tom Hardy's co-stars.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20Yeah, shall we just go with that?
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Pick some random actresses and actors, maybe.
0:37:23 > 0:37:24It might be films.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Let's just go with that. We're not going to get Opera.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29LAUGHTER
0:37:29 > 0:37:32- Tom Hardy's co-stars, please? - Tom Hardy's co-stars, Richard.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34OK, very best of luck. We're looking for anybody who starred
0:37:34 > 0:37:35alongside Tom Hardy,
0:37:35 > 0:37:37according to IMDB in any of these three films, please.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50So, anyone credited with appearing alongside Tom Hardy
0:37:50 > 0:37:52in one of those three films. Very best of luck.
0:37:52 > 0:37:53Thanks very much indeed.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Now, as always, you've got a minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58All you need to win the jackpot is for just one of those answers
0:37:58 > 0:37:59to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:38:00 > 0:38:02- Yeah.- Yes.- OK.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06- Your time starts now.- OK, right.
0:38:06 > 0:38:07- I haven't seen any of them. - JACK LAUGHS
0:38:07 > 0:38:09No! Nor me.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- The Dark Knight Rises, I think. - It'll have to be an educated guess.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Yes, we need some obscure actors that would be in that.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15I'm thinking Danny DeVito.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17Really?
0:38:17 > 0:38:18Is he old? He's quite old.
0:38:19 > 0:38:20Mad Max. What's Mad Max about?
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Is that the one with all the four... Those different men?
0:38:22 > 0:38:23- Yeah.- Is it? OK.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26Thinking about Liam Neeson, like...
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Arnold Schwarzenegger.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31- These are really obvious, aren't they?- No. Not to me.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34What's the other guy... What's the guy who does Die Hard?
0:38:35 > 0:38:36- Bruce Willis?- Bruce Willis, yeah.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38And what's that other bald guy?
0:38:38 > 0:38:40That the bald guy that does... Oh, my God!
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- What about Legend? It's very recent.- What's Legend about?
0:38:44 > 0:38:46It's about boxing.
0:38:46 > 0:38:47- OK.- I honestly...
0:38:47 > 0:38:49I don't think I've even seen the trailers for these films.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Oh, my God, we haven't got any and we've got 15 seconds.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54- We'll go with Liam Neeson.- Yeah. Bruce Willis.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55Ten seconds left.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58How about somebody like Helen Mirren?
0:38:58 > 0:38:59Then we have to pick which film she's in.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01HE CHUCKLES
0:39:01 > 0:39:03- Oh, no. The Dark Knight Rises. - Yeah, shall we do that?
0:39:03 > 0:39:05- Maybe she's got a cameo. - MEENA LAUGHS
0:39:05 > 0:39:08OK, that is your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10It's never long enough, that minute, is it?
0:39:10 > 0:39:12We're going to say Liam Neeson for Mad Max.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Liam Neeson.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16And we're going to say... (Bruce Willis?)
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- Bruce Willis, Mad Max.- Bruce Willis.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19- (Shall we say Helen Mirren?- Go on.)
0:39:19 > 0:39:21We'll also put Helen Mirren in there, as well.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Helen Mirren in Mad Max.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24Any of those you'd like to nominate
0:39:24 > 0:39:28- as your most likely Pointless answer?- I think Liam Neeson.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30I think Liam Neeson, very good one for last.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:32 > 0:39:33BOTH: Helen Mirren. LAUGHTER
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Helen Mirren. OK. And Bruce Willis in the middle.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37OK. Well, let's put those answers up on the board,
0:39:37 > 0:39:39in that order, then. And here they are.
0:39:39 > 0:39:40We've got...
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Well, very good luck.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47If one of these happens to win that jackpot for you,
0:39:47 > 0:39:50£5,000. What would you do that? Jack, you first.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53I'd probably...
0:39:53 > 0:39:54buy a new suit.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56- That'd be nice.- Just fabulous.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Any particular kind of suit you're looking for? Gold?
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Yeah, I don't know.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Meena, what would you like to do with your share?
0:40:02 > 0:40:06- I would definitely go on holiday. - Mm.- Possibly to New York.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08- I've been before but I absolutely loved it. So...- Ooh.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Very good. Well, best of luck. Your first answer is Helen Mirren.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14In this case, in fact, in all three cases,
0:40:14 > 0:40:18we're looking for cast members of Mad Max: Fury Road, the 2015 film.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22If Helen Mirren is pointless, she will win you £5,000.
0:40:22 > 0:40:23Is she right, though?
0:40:26 > 0:40:28She's not right.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32Sadly, Helen Mirren is not in Mad Max: Fury Road.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35But don't worry, you've got two more answers on the board.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38We've still got Bruce Willis and Liam Neeson waiting up there
0:40:38 > 0:40:40on the bench. Bruce Willis.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Let's find out if he is in Mad Max: Fury Road.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45If he in it, and he is pointless, he will win you £5,000.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47How many people said Bruce Willis?
0:40:51 > 0:40:54Bruce Willis, I'm afraid, also joining Helen Mirren...
0:40:54 > 0:40:56not in Mad Max: Fury Road.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58So, your last answer is Liam Neeson.
0:40:59 > 0:41:04Let us find out if Liam Neeson was in Mad Max: Fury Road.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Let's find out how many people said Liam Neeson, if he was.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08For £5,000, is it pointless?
0:41:11 > 0:41:13- No. Bad luck.- Oh, that's so bad.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16I'm afraid none of them was in Mad Max Fury Road.
0:41:16 > 0:41:17APPLAUSE
0:41:17 > 0:41:20I'm so sorry. It's always tough, though,
0:41:20 > 0:41:22if you get a category and you just don't quite know...
0:41:22 > 0:41:23- Any of them. - THEY CHUCKLE
0:41:23 > 0:41:26..don't quite know those films. Well, it was a game attempt, anyway.
0:41:26 > 0:41:27But I'm afraid you didn't manage to find
0:41:27 > 0:41:29that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:29 > 0:41:30so you don't win today's jackpot of £5,000.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33That, therefore, will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:33 > 0:41:34But you've done so well.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37I mean, really, really well, right across the show.
0:41:37 > 0:41:38Lovely low scoring.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40And, for that, you get a wonderful pointless trophy each
0:41:40 > 0:41:43to take home. So, very well done for that, Jack and Meena.
0:41:43 > 0:41:44APPLAUSE
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Yeah. You've been great fun, as well. You know what,
0:41:49 > 0:41:50it's worth a guess, sometimes.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Like, Liam Neeson is not in Mad Max, but you know what film he is in?
0:41:53 > 0:41:55he's in the Dark Knight Rises,
0:41:55 > 0:41:57and he was a pointless answer, as well.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59AUDIENCE GROANS
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Imagine that. Imagine that.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04Now, actors in the film Legend. Let's take a look at that first.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06The singer Duffy has a role in that film.
0:42:06 > 0:42:07John Sessions plays Lord Boothby.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Kevin McNally plays Harold Wilson, in the film. Tara Fitzgerald...
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Everyone pointless there apart from David Thewlis, Taron Egerton,
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Christopher Ecclestone and Emily Browning.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Every other member of the cast was a pointless answer.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21We will move on now to Mad Max: Fury Road.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Everyone pointless in that apart from Charlize Theron,
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Nicholas Hoult, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
0:42:29 > 0:42:30and Nathan Jones.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- And The Dark Knight. Some big names here.- Oh...
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Burn Gorman from Torchwood, Cillian Murphy from Peaky Blinders,
0:42:37 > 0:42:39many other things as well...
0:42:39 > 0:42:40And Liam Neeson. All of those pointless.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Every one pointless there apart from Christian Bale, Michael Caine,
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Anne Hathaway, Gary Oldman, Marion Cotilliard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt,
0:42:46 > 0:42:49and Morgan Freeman. Everyone else, a pointless answer.
0:42:49 > 0:42:50Thank you very much, Richard.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Well, thank you, Jack and Meena.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54I'm sorry you didn't win our jackpot today.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56But that will then roll over onto the next show
0:42:56 > 0:42:59when we will be playing for £6,000.
0:42:59 > 0:43:00APPLAUSE
0:43:00 > 0:43:02It's getting bigger and bigger!
0:43:02 > 0:43:03Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:06 > 0:43:07And it's goodbye from me.
0:43:07 > 0:43:08Goodbye.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10APPLAUSE
