0:00:13 > 0:00:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless, the show
0:00:25 > 0:00:28where the aim of the game is to find the most obscure answers possible.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32APPLAUSE
0:00:35 > 0:00:37- And couple number one. - I'm Sunil, this is Katy,
0:00:37 > 0:00:39and we're a couple from Nottingham.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Colette, this is my mum Corinne,
0:00:42 > 0:00:43and we're from Lincolnshire.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- Couple number three. - Hi, I'm Sarah, this is Jackie,
0:00:46 > 0:00:48and we're friends from Carshalton.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm David, this is Jamie, we're stepfather and stepson from London.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56And these are today's contestants.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58APPLAUSE
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Thanks very much, all of you. A very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Great to have you here. We'll get to chat to each of you
0:01:03 > 0:01:05throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Some say he's a few crayfish scotch eggs with piccalilli short
0:01:11 > 0:01:13of a middle-class picnic... LAUGHTER
0:01:13 > 0:01:15I say he's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- CHEERING - Hiya. Hey, everybody.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Good afternoon.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24- Hello, there!- Hello! - Lots of new faces for us.- I know.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25We get a bit shy when there's new faces.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Only one couple returning - that's Corinne and Colette.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- And even they we didn't meet for too long in the last show.- Alas, no.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34I think by and large because I think they're very bright and realised it
0:01:34 > 0:01:37was a nice jackpot last time, but they realised it might get bigger.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39I wonder if it did.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Hmm!
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- If only someone were here to reveal all.- I literally have no idea.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46You remember me. I remember nothing. LAUGHTER
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Anyway, thank you very much, Richard.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Jack and Nina DIDN'T win the jackpot last time, which means we add
0:01:52 > 0:01:56another £1,000 to it, so today's jackpot starts off at...
0:01:56 > 0:01:58It's almost embarrassing now! ..£6,000.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00AUDIENCE OOHS There we are - £6,000.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02APPLAUSE
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12So, remember this, the pair with the highest score
0:02:12 > 0:02:16at the end of each round will be eliminated. The HIGHEST score.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18So keep your scores low. Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Our first category today is...
0:02:23 > 0:02:25History and music. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going
0:02:25 > 0:02:28to go first, who's going to go second? And whoever is going first,
0:02:28 > 0:02:30please step up to the podium.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Famous figures in We Didn't Start The Fire.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- Richard?- On each board, we're going to give you seven clues to famous
0:02:44 > 0:02:47historical figures. We'll also give you their initials.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49They're united by the fact that all of them are mentioned
0:02:49 > 0:02:51in Billy Joel's song We Didn't Start The Fire.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54There'll be 14 in all to have a go at at home, so very best of luck.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Thanks very much. OK.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59So, we are looking for the famous people described by these clues.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00And here they are. We have got...
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I'm going to read them again.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- Sunil, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09It's good to have you. Sunil, what do you do?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I work for an optical company and I work in dispatch.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16OK. Dispatching new glasses and lenses?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Yes. New glasses, glasses frames, that have got, er...
0:04:20 > 0:04:23lenses that need replacing, so re-glazing frames, yeah.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25What are your interests, Sunil?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Music and film, mainly. Um, sport as well.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- A big Leicester City fan. - Very good indeed.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- OK, now, do you remember the song We Didn't Start The Fire?- I do.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39I can remember the rhythm of it, but I can't really remember many words.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42There's only one I think I know well from this one, um,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45playing it kind of safe.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47So the singer whose first UK hit single was All Shook Up,
0:04:47 > 0:04:48I'm going for Elvis Presley.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Elvis Presley, says Sunil. Let's see if that's right.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Let's see how many of our 100 people said Elvis Presley.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58He's right.
0:04:58 > 0:04:5968.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- APPLAUSE - Well done.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02- That could've been a lot worse, I think.- Yeah!
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Elvis Presley gets us off to a good start.- It's incredible to think
0:05:05 > 0:05:08about these days with the music industry we have, but Elvis never,
0:05:08 > 0:05:09apart from a couple of gigs in Canada,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12never performed outside of the US.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- Isn't that amazing? - Isn't that extraordinary?- Yeah.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- You couldn't imagine it happening today, could you?- No. No.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Thank you, Richard. Colette?- Hello. - Welcome back, Colette.- Thank you!
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Great to have you here again. Now, Round One last time...
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- Yeah, it was pretty embarrassing. - Yes, we know...
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Exactly, we know where we want to end up this time.- Yeah.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Colette, remind us what you do.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35I'm an events organiser for a charity in Scotland.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36- That's right.- Yeah.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Colette, your interests outside that, what are they?
0:05:39 > 0:05:43I love music, Glastonbury is like my second home.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47- Um, and...- During the week of the festival, I'm guessing?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- Yes.- You don't have a nice holiday cottage down there?
0:05:50 > 0:05:51- No, I wish.- OK.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Just where the letters are at the top of the hill.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- ALEXANDER LAUGHS - And, um...
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I love travelling. Recently, a few years ago,
0:05:57 > 0:06:02I did a big trip round America, I did, um, 33 states in 64 days.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- So, yeah.- That could come in very handy on Pointless.- We'll see.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Anyway, Colette, one step at a time,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10how are all these famous people for you?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I'm trying to rack my brains for the American president, but I can't
0:06:13 > 0:06:16think of it, so I'm going to go for the US folk hero as Davy Crockett?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Davy Crockett, says Colette.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Let's see how many of our 100 people said Davy Crockett.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Well, Elvis scored 68.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Davy Crockett goes down below that, to 55.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30APPLAUSE
0:06:32 > 0:06:36He was also a congressman, Davy Crockett, for Tennessee.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- There you are. I bet he didn't wear his raccoon hat for that.- No.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I bet, with all those other congressmen sitting around,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I bet he was thinking, "I feel slightly invisible," then he'd
0:06:45 > 0:06:49slip on his raccoon skin hat and they'd go, "That's Davy Crockett!"
0:06:49 > 0:06:51"I can't believe it! Davy Crockett, you a congressman?" "Yeah."
0:06:51 > 0:06:54"Anyway, let me take this off." Then they'd go, "Where's he gone?"
0:06:54 > 0:06:55LAUGHTER
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Thanks very much, Richard. Jackie, welcome to Pointless.- Hello!
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- Good to have you, from Carshalton! - Yes.- What you do up in Carshalton?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I am a freelance virtual assistant.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06SHE LAUGHS You VIRTUALLY assist?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Virtually assist! I'm not really here.- A virtual assistant?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Basically, I do it from home, so it's all done over Skype.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- So easy! Easily done from home. - It's lovely.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- So you're like a PA, but you can do it from home?- Yeah, exactly, yeah.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- I mean, you can run people's diaries, it's very easy.- Exactly.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Yeah, yeah.- Aw, that's nice. - So it's fabulous.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25But I mean, do you find...?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28It could work either way. It could be nice that you're based at home.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- Yes.- Or, because you're at home, you could slightly resent
0:07:31 > 0:07:34when things come in that demand your attention.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36No, not at all. You've got to separate...
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I've got a separate office, so, when you go to work,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41you are still going to work, you close the office door and you work.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Yes.- You have to draw those lines... - No, very good.- ..in your head.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- Now, Jackie, what would you like to go for on this board?- OK, um...
0:07:48 > 0:07:52I am glad I had that thinking time, cos I knew the top one and it took
0:07:52 > 0:07:55a while to call it to mind, but I think, I hope, it's Johnnie Ray.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- Johnnie Ray.- Yeah. - Poor old Johnnie Ray.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06It is right. Well, 55's our low score and you passed it.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Look at that, Johnnie Ray. Zipping down the column
0:08:09 > 0:08:10to 15! APPLAUSE
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Good work, Jackie. Great start.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Yeah, "Poor old Johnnie Ray sounded sad upon the radio,"
0:08:20 > 0:08:22that's the first line of Come On Eileen.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- Thank you very much. Now, David.. - Hi.- ..welcome to Pointless.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Good to have you here. What do you do, David?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I used to work for many years in mobile telecoms but at the moment
0:08:31 > 0:08:35I'm convalescing following a bad motorbike accident, so I guess you could say my job is going
0:08:35 > 0:08:37to the gym, really, at the moment.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- Will you be going back into mobile telecommunications?- Actually, no.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43We're actually, in a couple of months,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46my wife and I are heading off to South America for a few years.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- Oh, well, that... A few years? - Yes.- That's nice.- Yeah.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Blimey!- We might have to do that at some stage.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Yeah, for various reasons! - LAUGHTER
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Do feel free to drop in and, you know, visit.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Aw! Well, that's lovely.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01And how long were you in the telecommunications industry for?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- About 20 years, I suppose. - I see.- So I saw it all.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Working for a particular network or working for...?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Yeah, naming no names, but yes.- OK. Were you based in the Newbury area?
0:09:10 > 0:09:16Not exactly the Newbury area, no, more the sort of, um, Slough area.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20OK, OK, right. I'm going to pretend that means something to me.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Oh, THAT, yes.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Oh, yes.- Yes. - Oh, I've got you, different colour!
0:09:24 > 0:09:25I understand entirely.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Er, now then...
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Talk us through that board.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Um, I wish I knew the one which would obviously
0:09:32 > 0:09:35be the lowest score, which is the South Korean one.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38The Argentinian president was Juan Peron.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42The American president was Harry Truman.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46And the French one was Charles de Gaulle.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Let's go...
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- ..Charles de Gaulle. - Charles de Gaulle, says David.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:10:01 > 0:10:0342 for Charles de Gaulle.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05APPLAUSE
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Not bad.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Yeah, not bad, David. The only French president
0:10:09 > 0:10:12named after an airport, Charles de Gaulle. 42 points.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14You know, you'd have been better going for either
0:10:14 > 0:10:16of your other answers, actually.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Harry Truman, you were quite right, the American president,
0:10:19 > 0:10:20and he would've scored 30.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24And, even better, Juan Peron, cos he would've scored 23.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26You're quite right thinking this last answer is the one
0:10:26 > 0:10:28you should've gone for. Not that you should've gone for,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31but it's the one that's going to be the best answer.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34It's actually a pointless answer and it's Syngman Rhee.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Very well done if you said that at home.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39A pointless answer. Included mainly, I think,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42because Rhee rhymes with an awful lot of things, so useful in a song.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- It's just a gift, isn't it? - Isn't it? Beautiful, yeah.- Yeah.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Well, we can stay talking about this, but let's "Juan Per-on".
0:10:49 > 0:10:52LAUGHTER, ALEXANDER SIGHS
0:10:52 > 0:10:55We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:55 > 0:10:5815 the best score of that pass. Very well done indeed, Jackie.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Jackie and Sarah, I'll say right now, I think you'll be in Round Two.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Then we go up to 42,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05where we find David and Jamie.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08And then up to 55, where we find Colette and Corinne.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Then up to 68, Sunil and Katy.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Not that far ahead, Katy, but far enough ahead for you to need
0:11:13 > 0:11:15to find a nice low-scoring answer, so best of luck with that.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16We'll come back down the line.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board, and here they are.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27We have got...
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Let me read them again.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- We got there in the end, Jamie. - We did.- Welcome to Pointless.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Thank you very much. - Good to have you here.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- What do you do?- I'm an analyst for a sustainability company,
0:12:34 > 0:12:39so I help companies reduce their carbon emissions and energy.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41And what are your interests, Jamie?
0:12:41 > 0:12:46Um, I play a lot of football. I enjoy music, you know, I...
0:12:46 > 0:12:51I enjoy travelling and try and keep doing environmentally useful things.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Very good. Also, just for the next few years,
0:12:54 > 0:12:56you've got a base in South America.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57Well, exactly, I can just pop over.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- Yeah, pop over.- Say hello.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01I wasn't invited, but it's fine.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02LAUGHTER Well..
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Play your cards right today, you never know.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07The invitation may come. Now, Jamie, what would you like to go for?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10You're on 42. Ideally, you'd score 25 or less to be sure.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I don't know the song, so I'm purely doing it on the clues,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15but I'm going to go for the leader
0:13:15 > 0:13:18of the Soviet Union at the end of World War II - Josef Stalin.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Josef Stalin, says Jamie. Here is your red line.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24If you can get below this red line, you're definitely in the next round.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Let's see how Jamie does with Josef Stalin.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Not bad. 41.
0:13:35 > 0:13:3741. One better than your stepdad.
0:13:37 > 0:13:3883 is your total.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I think you've probably done enough.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Yeah, it's a good answer.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44His parents were a cobbler and a washerwoman.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- His dad was a washerwoman?- Yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:13:46 > 0:13:49And his mum was a cobbler.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- Yeah.- There we go. Thank you very much. Now, Sarah!
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- Hello!- Welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.- What do you do, Sarah?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I'm a community nurse in Croydon.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59- In Croydon?- Yes.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- And what are your interests, Sarah? - Um...
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Various interests. I enjoy baking.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Although it tends to be a little bit seasonal, as in...
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Which is your baking season?
0:14:11 > 0:14:15It often coincides with a programme on the television.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- Ah!- Ah!- I tend to get all enthusiastic.- Oh, what?
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- So it takes that to sort of get you back into the kitchen?- Yeah.- I see.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- A bit of inspiration. - I do that whenever X Factor is on.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I think, "I've got to get out of the living room!"
0:14:27 > 0:14:28- LAUGHTER - I'm exactly the same.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- I'm the same.- Yeah. - Yeah, the same.- Um...
0:14:32 > 0:14:34So, Sarah, there you are, you're on 15.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36I mean, an amazing score from Jackie in the first pass.
0:14:36 > 0:14:4083 is the high score. 67 or less is what you're aiming for.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44OK. Um, I know it'll be a sort of obvious one,
0:14:44 > 0:14:50but I might try the posthumous Best Actor nominations.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- James Dean?- James Dean, says Sarah. Let's see if it's right.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Let's see how many of our 100 went for James Dean.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57There's your red line, nice and high.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00It's right.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04And you are through to Round Two, very well done.
0:15:04 > 0:15:0730 for James Dean. APPLAUSE
0:15:07 > 0:15:0945 is your total, the lowest total
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I can tell you right now of the round.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Yes, he lost out to Ernest Borgnine and Yul Brynner.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15He was only in three films,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18so two of them nominated for Best Actor Oscar.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Thanks very much, Richard.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Now, Corinne...
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Welcome back.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Tell us what you like getting up to.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Well, not much in the week,
0:15:30 > 0:15:33because I'm recovering from the weekend.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Cos your heart belongs to...
0:15:35 > 0:15:37To Wigan Casino.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- Northern Soul.- Yes!
0:15:39 > 0:15:43This is Wigan, cos there are several sort of iconic places, aren't there?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- Yes.- There's the Blackpool Mecca... - Yes.- ..and all those other places.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- The Torch in Stoke, yeah.- Yeah.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50And these are places you're regularly at?
0:15:50 > 0:15:53I never went to the Torch, I have to admit that.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- Yeah.- I wouldn't like to, you know,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58some people do say they've been when they haven't,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- so we'll get that out of the way. - Tell me about it!
0:16:00 > 0:16:02The amount of people on here saying they've been to the Torch in Stoke
0:16:02 > 0:16:04when they haven't been to the Torch in Stoke!
0:16:04 > 0:16:07What they mean is they've bought a torch in Stoke.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08- LAUGHTER - Yeah, yeah.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Now, Corinne, you're on 55.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- The high-scorers, over there on 83, are Jamie and David.- Yes.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15If you can score 27 or less...
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Yes.- ..you are through to the next round.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- You have to score 27 or less, simple as that.- I know.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23There's two that I definitely know the answer to
0:16:23 > 0:16:26and one that I'm thinking, shall I, shan't I?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28I'm just too scared, I just daren't do it,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31so I'm going to go for Joe DiMaggio.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- The Yankee Clipper.- Yeah. - Joe DiMaggio says Corinne.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Here's your red line - get below that,
0:16:35 > 0:16:38you're through to the next round. How many people said Joe DiMaggio?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43It's right.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Look at that, very well done indeed.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Down you go to 16. APPLAUSE
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Round Two here we come.
0:16:50 > 0:16:5271 is your total.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Yeah, Bill Clinton once described Joe DiMaggio
0:16:56 > 0:16:59as the very symbol of American grace, power and skill.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- It's a nice thing to be described as, isn't it?- Mm-hm.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Thank you, Richard. Now, Katy.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Katy, welcome to Pointless.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Good to have you here. What do you do, Katy?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11So, I am a writer and beauty blogger.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13And where to do your writing and blogging?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Well, the blogging I can guess, online.- Yeah.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Yeah, so, generally, in my house or in a park.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Oh, I see, that's where you do it, but I mean, where does it appear?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Oh, right, OK! So I do a lot of open mike for my poetry.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Ah!- And I've been published in a poetry anthology.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- So...- That's wonderful.- Yeah.- So this is sort of performance poetry?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- Yeah, a lot of it is, yeah.- I see. What's the anthology that you're in?
0:17:35 > 0:17:38It's called Black Balloon. It's a collection of dark anthologies that
0:17:38 > 0:17:41was created by the masters students that I worked with
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- for my Creative Writing masters. - Oh, congratulations.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Now, Katy, you're on 68.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Our high-scorers are still Jamie and David
0:17:48 > 0:17:50over there on the far podium on 83.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53It means you have a low target of 14.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Um, so, there's two that I'm pretty sure that I know.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01The first one's far too obvious, so I'm not going to go with that one.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04So, instead, I'm going to go for the actress and singer
0:18:04 > 0:18:05who starred as Jo McKenna,
0:18:05 > 0:18:07as Doris Day?
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Doris Day, says Katy.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Doris Day, now, here's your red line.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12If you get below that, you're into Round Two.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14How many of our 100 said Doris Day?
0:18:17 > 0:18:18It's right.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- Ooh, 19!- Oh, no!
0:18:25 > 0:18:26You needed 14, I'm afraid.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Still quite good!
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Not bad, though. That's a great score.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33But 87, I'm afraid, is your high total.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Yes, a really good answer, it's unlucky.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36It bodes well for next time, though.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39You were right to avoid Marilyn Monroe, the top answer.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42She's a big scorer. It would've scored you 56 points.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Now, the last two are astronauts
0:18:44 > 0:18:46and they are the best answers on the board. We'll start at the bottom.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50The first US astronaut to orbit the Earth was John Glenn,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52and he would've scored to 16.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56And the first American woman in space was Sally Ride.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00And she'd have scored six, so very well done if you said that at home.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,
0:19:02 > 0:19:05the pair we say goodbye to, with their high score of 87, I'm afraid,
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Katy and Sunil, it is you. But we say that knowing they'll be back
0:19:09 > 0:19:12next game and we'll look forward to that very much indeed.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14But meantime, thank you for playing, Katy and Sunil.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15APPLAUSE
0:19:18 > 0:19:21But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30So we are down to three pairs and obviously, at the end of this round,
0:19:30 > 0:19:33we'll have to say goodbye to another pair, but well done, everyone.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36We had some great low scores there.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Our category for Round Two today is...
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Football. There you go.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44Can you all decide in your pairs
0:19:44 > 0:19:47who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49And, whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55OK, let's find out what the question is, here it comes.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Football teams with three or four vowels in their name.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Yeah, we're looking for any of the 92 teams
0:20:07 > 0:20:10in the top four flights of English football in the 2015-2016 season
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- that have three or four vowels anywhere in their name, please?- OK.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16So any English league football team
0:20:16 > 0:20:18with three or four vowels in its name. Corinne?
0:20:21 > 0:20:22Aston Villa.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28OK. I was smiling, because I somehow knew you're going to say that.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Aston Villa, says Corinne.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Let's see how many of our 100 people said Aston Villa.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43APPLAUSE 37 for Aston Villa.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Four vowels in that and they begin with one and end with one.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- Oh!- A couple of As, an I in there, an O in there.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57They didn't have a great 2015-2016 season, but you know, the vowels,
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- they've done very well there.- Yeah.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01LAUGHTER Oh, their vowel cupboard...
0:21:01 > 0:21:06- Their vowel cupboard is bursting. - Yeah.- They'll be very happy.- Yeah.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- There we go. Jackie.- I don't know if this is the right name,
0:21:10 > 0:21:11but I'm going to go for Brighton & Hove Albion.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Brighton & Hove Albion says Jackie.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22It's right. Well, 37 is our only score at this point.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24And you pass it.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Oh, you pass it, look at that! Two for Brighton & Hove Albion.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:21:30 > 0:21:31There we are.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Good work, Jackie. They've got a lot of vowels, seven vowels.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37They have eight, if you include the A in "and",
0:21:37 > 0:21:39which I don't, cos it's an ampersand.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- If you do, then it's eight. - LAUGHTER
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- But we can argue about that another time.- I'm not even going to argue.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Can you imagine? That's the sort of thing
0:21:46 > 0:21:48we'd have to see the director-general about. He'd say,
0:21:48 > 0:21:51"Why are you accepting be A in the ampersand of Brighton & Hove Albion?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54"I wonder if we might have a little chat about it in my club?"
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- Oh, we'd have to go up to his club. - We would have to go up to his club.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59His club is on the top of New Broadcasting House, isn't it?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I said Nude Broadcasting House, I meant New Broadcasting House.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04LAUGHTER Nude Broadcasting House is...
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Yes, that's very, very different.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08LAUGHTER CONTINUES Er, Jamie...
0:22:08 > 0:22:10um, what would you like to go for?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Um, I'm going to go for a team, which definitely has enough vowels,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16it's just whether they're still in the league structure,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18and I'm going to go for Dagenham & Redbridge.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Oh, listen to that. You see what you've earned yourself there, Jamie?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23You've earned yourself a buzz.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Dagenham & Redbridge.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32It is right.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Well, our Brighton & Hove Albion took us all the way down to two,
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Dagenham and Redbridge...
0:22:37 > 0:22:39It's pointless! CHEERING
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Very well done indeed. That's a pointless answer.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47It adds £250 to today's jackpot that takes the total up to £6,250.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51It scores you nothing and earns you the colossal respect of Mr Osman.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53A very good answer. Well played. I would've thought it would
0:22:53 > 0:22:55earn you an invitation to South America as well,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- but we'll see. That's not in my gift.- Yeah.- They've got six vowels
0:22:58 > 0:23:01and, again, seven if you include the A in the and,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03and I think we probably should.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- Let's say seven.- Yeah, OK.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Well, there we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Nothing was the best score of that pass. Very well done indeed, Jamie.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I think Jamie and David will probably be
0:23:16 > 0:23:18in the head-to-head, as I think will Jackie and Sarah.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21But by that process, I'm afraid, Corinne and Colette,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- that would mean you wouldn't be in it.- It would.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26And I don't like that scenario one bit.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Colette, please do what you have to do to keep yourselves in the game.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- I'll try. - We'll come back down the line now.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39OK, so David, remember, we're looking for any
0:23:39 > 0:23:43English league football team with three or more vowels to its name.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47I think I'll go for one in the same neck of the woods
0:23:47 > 0:23:51as Dagenham & Redbridge, keeping it local, and go for Leyton Orient.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52Leyton Orient says David.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Well, you want to score 36 or less with this, ideally.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59There is your red line - get below that with Leyton Orient
0:23:59 > 0:24:01and you are through to the next round.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Well done. Head-to-head it is.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Oh, and it's five!
0:24:13 > 0:24:14Not bad.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Five for Leyton Orient.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Yes, they're even known as The Os, Leyton Orient,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22so perfect answer for this round.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Thanks very much, Richard.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Now, Sarah...
0:24:25 > 0:24:30Sarah, again, the high score is 37, so 34 or less.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Can't think of anyone particularly obscure, so I'm going to go with...
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Wolverhampton Wanderers.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Wolverhampton Wanderers, says Sarah.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Here's your red line.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Get below that, you're through.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45How many people went for Wolves?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54You've done it.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Oh!
0:24:55 > 0:24:57One! For Wolverhampton Wanderers.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Very well done indeed.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Taking your total up to three, the lowest total of the round.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Yeah, seven vowels there,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06I can't believe Wolves got beaten 5-1 by Leyton Orient.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08LAUGHTER
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- Um, Colette, I'm sorry. - Yeah, me too.- I'm sorry.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Yes, you are out in front
0:25:17 > 0:25:18even before your answer, however,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- let's hear what you've got. - I don't even know if these are
0:25:21 > 0:25:24still in the League, but I'm going to go Doncaster Rovers.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Doncaster Rovers says Colette.- Yeah.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28No red line for you, I'm afraid, as you're the high-scorers already.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31But let's see how many of our 100 people said Doncaster Rovers.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35It's right.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43It's a great answer. Very well done indeed!
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Three is what you scored there, taking your total
0:25:46 > 0:25:48up to 40. APPLAUSE
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Yeah, very well played. There's lots of pointless answers here, actually.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Let's take a look at a few of them.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55All of these would've added a bit of money to the jackpot.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Chesterfield, there's Dagenham & Redbridge, well played. Gillingham.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Some big teams here, actually. Ipswich Town, a pointless answer.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Shrewsbury Town, Southend United.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Stoke City, a Premiership team.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Swindon Town, Wycombe Wanderers. Also could've had Cambridge United,
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Crawley Town, Exeter City, Fleetwood Town, Mansfield Town,
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Morecambe, Peterborough United, Rochdale and Stevenage.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Those were all pointless answers. We'll take a look at the top three.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21The ones that most of our 100 people said online...
0:26:26 > 0:26:30..and, as always, Manchester United up there on 69.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Thanks very indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our second round,
0:26:32 > 0:26:35the pair we have to say goodbye to, with their high score of 40,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- I'm so sorry, Colette and Corinne, it is you.- Never mind.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40I am so sorry. Far too soon to be sending new home.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- I had high hopes of you going through...- So did we!- Yeah!
0:26:43 > 0:26:45But it's been wonderful having you on.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Thank you so much for coming to play, Colette and Corinne.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49APPLAUSE
0:26:51 > 0:26:54But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Well, congratulations, Jackie and Sarah, David and Jamie.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play
0:27:05 > 0:27:09for that jackpot, which currently stands at £6,250.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11AUDIENCE OOHS
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Well, you've made it as far as the head-to-head,
0:27:15 > 0:27:16which means you're now allowed to confer
0:27:16 > 0:27:18and the first pair in this round to win two questions
0:27:18 > 0:27:21will be going through to the final to play for that jackpot.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Well done, I have to say. We've had... I mean, from one team,
0:27:23 > 0:27:26we've had our only pointless answer and, from Jackie and Sarah
0:27:26 > 0:27:28in that last round, just three points between you,
0:27:28 > 0:27:30I mean, amazing low scores there.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32This is going to be incredibly hard-fought.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Very best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37APPLAUSE
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Here is your first question, And it concerns...
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- Richard.- Yes, we're going to show you five cathedrals now.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52You need to tell us what cities they're in, please. We'll give you
0:27:52 > 0:27:54- the first and last letters of each of those cities.- Thanks very much.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58Let's reveal our five cathedrals and here they come.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25There we are.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26Five cathedral cities.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Jackie and Sarah, you are our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33THEY CHATTER QUIETLY
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Well... The only one we're certain of is E, so that's the one
0:28:37 > 0:28:40we're going to go for, which I hope, hope is Salisbury.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Salisbury, say Jackie and Sarah, for E. Salisbury.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Now, then, David and Jamie?
0:28:45 > 0:28:50Um...we think A is Coventry.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51We think B is Gloucester.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54D is Chester.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58C is... Looks like it should be the easiest, but we just can't make any
0:28:58 > 0:29:02sense of that at all. I know that, I'm pretty certain it's Coventry.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04- Sure. Let's say Coventry, yeah. - Coventry, A.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06OK, you're going to go for Coventry for A.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08So we have Salisbury and we have Coventry.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Jackie and Sarah went for Salisbury, let's see if that's right.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Let's see how many people said Salisbury.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17There we are, absolutely right.
0:29:20 > 0:29:2138.
0:29:21 > 0:29:22APPLAUSE
0:29:23 > 0:29:2538 for Salisbury.
0:29:25 > 0:29:30David and Jamie, meanwhile, have gone for A and said Coventry.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31Let's see if that's right.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33How many of our 100 people said Coventry for A?
0:29:37 > 0:29:38It is Coventry.
0:29:41 > 0:29:42Ooh, 50.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44APPLAUSE
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Which means well done, Jackie and Sarah.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48After one question, you're up 1-0.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Yeah, voted Britain's favourite 20th-century building,
0:29:50 > 0:29:54Coventry Cathedral, that's the old cathedral next to the new one.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Um, you should've gone with Jamie, really, because B is Gloucester
0:29:57 > 0:30:00and it would've won you the point as well, would've got you 23.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Er, D, you also knew.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Chester, that would've won the point as well, would've been 30.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09And the best answer on the board, er, in Northern Ireland...
0:30:09 > 0:30:13- Newry?- Newry, yep. That would've scored you eight points.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Very well done if you said that at home.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Thank you very much indeed. Well, here comes your second question.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20David and Jamie, you have to win this one,
0:30:20 > 0:30:24but you get to answer it first, so there you are. Good luck with that.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27It concerns...
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- Richard? - Yeah, we're going to show you
0:30:30 > 0:30:32the names of five gases now, but in anagram form.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Can you unscramble them and give us the most obscure gas?
0:30:35 > 0:30:36OK, thank you very much.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41So let's reveal our five shaken-up gases and here they are. We have...
0:30:52 > 0:30:54David and Jamie will go first.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56THEY WHISPER
0:31:04 > 0:31:08Er, we'll go for the top one, which is krypton.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Krypton. Krypton say David and Jamie.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Jackie and Sarah?
0:31:14 > 0:31:17- What are you going to go for? - Well, the second one's radon,
0:31:17 > 0:31:19the third one's argon,
0:31:19 > 0:31:21the fourth one's helium,
0:31:21 > 0:31:23and I think the fifth one's neon.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27- So...do you think radon? - Yeah, yeah- We'll go radon.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30OK, you're going to go for radon. So we have krypton and radon.
0:31:30 > 0:31:31David and Jamie said krypton.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37It's right.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42Not bad.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43APPLAUSE
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Not bad. 44.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Jackie and Sarah, meanwhile, have gone for radon.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Ooh, 66 for radon.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Well done, David and Jamie, that's what you needed to do.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04You're back in the game. After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06This time round, you chose perfectly,
0:32:06 > 0:32:08cos it's the best answer on the board, krypton.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Groan is argon, of course -
0:32:10 > 0:32:11would've scored you 60.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15Uh Lime is helium and would've scored you 58.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19And neon would've scored you 85 points.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Thank you very much indeed. It all comes down to this, third question.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:32:24 > 0:32:26and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both players.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30Our third question is all about Russell Brand.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34- Richard.- Yeah. Talking of gases!
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- LAUGHTER - We are now...
0:32:36 > 0:32:38That's a mean thing to say, he's a very nice fella.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41We're going to give you five clues now to facts about Russell Brand.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Whichever team gives us the most obscure answer is
0:32:43 > 0:32:46going through to play for that £6,250 jackpot.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- Good luck.- OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:32:51 > 0:32:52We have got...
0:33:07 > 0:33:08I'll read those again.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27There we are. Jackie and Sarah, you will go first.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29THEY WHISPER
0:33:31 > 0:33:35We're going to go with the TV police drama and The Bill.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36The Bill, say Jackie and Sarah.
0:33:36 > 0:33:41Now, David and Jamie, talk us through that board.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Katie Perry at the top.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Newsnight.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Yeah, I'm not ashamed to say I think I read the memoir.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50It's called Booky Wook, I think.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52And for the county,
0:33:52 > 0:33:54maybe Hertfordshire or something like that?
0:33:54 > 0:33:56But I'm going to gamble and probably
0:33:56 > 0:34:00go with the title of his memoir, which I think is Booky Wook.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02- Booky Wook?- Yes.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Booky Wook, so we have The Bill and we've Booky Wook.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Jackie and Sarah have gone for The Bill, for the police drama.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:34:19 > 0:34:2028.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21APPLAUSE
0:34:24 > 0:34:27David and Jamie are going for Booky Wook.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Let's see if that's right for the memoir.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33Ooh!
0:34:33 > 0:34:37- Gosh!- I'm afraid not Booky Wook.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39That means, after three questions, Jackie and Sarah,
0:34:39 > 0:34:41you are through to the final 2-1.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Yeah, unlucky, gents. I couldn't give it to you, it's My Booky Wook
0:34:44 > 0:34:46and, it's such a well-known book, I need the full title,
0:34:46 > 0:34:48- it would be unfair to Jackie and Sarah.- It's an autobiography.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50If it was a biography, it would be Booky Wook.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- It's an autobiography, so it's... - My Booky Wook, exactly.- Yeah.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56So that's really unlucky. It bodes well for next time, though,
0:34:56 > 0:35:00I have to say. The firework singer he married was Katie Perry.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02It would've scored you 57 points.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04It is Newsnight as well.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07That would've scored you 33.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11And the English county, it's my home county as well, Essex.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14- Essex.- Yeah, and that would've scored you 30.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:19 > 0:35:20I'm afraid it's David and Jamie.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23You played incredibly well throughout the show.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26As Richard says, that bodes incredibly well for the next time.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30We look forward to seeing you then, but in the meantime, thank you very much, David and Jamie.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31APPLAUSE
0:35:33 > 0:35:35But for Jackie and Sarah, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Congratulations, Jackie and Sarah,
0:35:42 > 0:35:44you've fought off all the competition
0:35:44 > 0:35:47and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:56 > 0:36:02and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £6,250.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03AUDIENCE OOHS
0:36:07 > 0:36:08I mean, amazing!
0:36:08 > 0:36:10- You've done so well.- Thank you.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12So, that second round, the football round, just astonishing!
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Lovely low scores there.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16And yes, 2-1 in the head-to-head.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Well, as always, you get to choose your category
0:36:18 > 0:36:20from the four we put up on the board.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Today's selection looks like this. We've got...
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- Um, don't know a lot about Russia. - US crime writers.- Don't know...
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Shall we just go for purple things?
0:36:35 > 0:36:36It's a big subject, isn't it?
0:36:36 > 0:36:40- It could be anything.- OK.- Let's go for purple things.- Purple things!
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- Purple things.- I quite like purple. - Richard?- OK, best of luck.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47We're looking for any of the three very different things, please.
0:36:47 > 0:36:48We're looking for any station
0:36:48 > 0:36:51on London Underground's Metropolitan Line, please.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53We are looking for any actor credited
0:36:53 > 0:36:57with appearing in the film The Color Purple, according to IMDB.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Or we're looking for any act who's had a UK top 40 single or album
0:37:00 > 0:37:04with purple in its title, please, up to the end of December 2015.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06So Metropolitan Line stations,
0:37:06 > 0:37:07actors in The Color Purple
0:37:07 > 0:37:11and acts with UK top 40 singles or albums with purple in the title.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Now, as always, you've got up to one minute come up with three answers
0:37:16 > 0:37:18and all you need to win that jackpot
0:37:18 > 0:37:21is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23- Yeah.- Yeah.- OK! Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25There they are. Your time starts now!
0:37:25 > 0:37:28- Metropolitan Line, do you know? - Not a clue, not a single one.- No?
0:37:28 > 0:37:32- Actors in The Color Purple? - Um... I think...
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Is it Whoopi Goldberg or...?
0:37:34 > 0:37:37Oprah Winfrey? Was Oprah Winfrey in it?
0:37:37 > 0:37:39That sounds good, I can't think of any at all.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- The only ones I an think of... - It's possible, anyway.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Acts with a top 40 single with the colour purple...
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- Well, Prince is the obvious one. - That's too obvious, isn't it?
0:37:47 > 0:37:48Purple...
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Oh, gosh!
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Purple, purple, purple...
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Was there not a Cyndi Lauper song with purple in?
0:37:56 > 0:38:00- Or was that just rainbow?- Was there? - I think that was rainbow.
0:38:00 > 0:38:01Unless she sang all the colours.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Oh, it is! Oh, no...
0:38:03 > 0:38:05I was going to say Joseph and his Technicolor Dreamcoat,
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- but he didn't actually sing... - And was it a top 40 single?
0:38:08 > 0:38:12- Colours? Probably not, no.- No.- Um...
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Oh, time! We've got...
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- Ten seconds left.- Whoopi Goldberg. - Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey...
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- We'll have to go Prince! We can't think of anything else.- We are!
0:38:22 > 0:38:24That was a bit rubbish, wasn't it?
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Oh, I'm sorry, that's your minute up!
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- THEY LAUGH That was tough!- That was.- It was!
0:38:31 > 0:38:32- That was.- Yeah.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34What are your three answers going to be?
0:38:34 > 0:38:37Well, the actors in The Color Purple.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- We're going to go for Whoopi Goldberg...- Whoopi Goldberg.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- ..and Oprah Winfrey?- Oprah Winfrey.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46- And...- The only one we can think of, top 40 singles,
0:38:46 > 0:38:48is Prince and Purple Rain.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51OK. You are going to go for Prince?
0:38:51 > 0:38:54- Yeah.- Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- Oprah Winfrey?- Yeah. - Oprah Winfrey, let's put her last.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- Least likely answer to be pointless? - Prince.- Prince, we'll put first.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03OK, well, let's pop those answers upon the board in that order, then,
0:39:03 > 0:39:05and here they are. We've got...
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Well, very, very best of luck.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Now, one of these might turn out to be pointless.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16If that were to happen and you were to go away with £6,250,
0:39:16 > 0:39:18what would you like to do with it, Jackie?
0:39:18 > 0:39:21- It's my birthday in a couple of weeks, so...- Happy birthday.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25..I think that'd be a vodka luge and a chocolate fountain right there.
0:39:25 > 0:39:26LAUGHTER
0:39:26 > 0:39:28There we go. Sarah?
0:39:28 > 0:39:31I think it would definitely be a holiday somewhere nice and hot
0:39:31 > 0:39:33and warm and tropical, yeah.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- Wonderful.- Definitely. - Well, very, very best of luck.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Let us find out. Your first answer was Prince.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40In this case, we were looking for acts
0:39:40 > 0:39:42that've had UK top 40 singles with the word purple in them.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Singles or albums. You've gone for Prince.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48If it is pointless, it will win you £6,250.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Let's find out how many people said Prince.
0:39:54 > 0:39:55It's right.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Still going down. Now, if this goes down to zero, obviously,
0:39:59 > 0:40:01you will leave with £6,250.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02And Prince stops at 40.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09So, unfortunately not a pointless answer,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12which means everything is now riding on the final two answers,
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Whoopi Goldberg we will take next. In this case,
0:40:16 > 0:40:20we are looking for actors in the film The Color Purple.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24For you to win that jackpot of £6,250, this has to be pointless.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Let's see many people said Whoopi Goldberg.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32It's right.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36Your first answer, Prince took us all the way down to 40.
0:40:36 > 0:40:37Whoopi Goldberg...
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Ooh, 45!
0:40:39 > 0:40:4145 for Whoopi Goldberg.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46OK, not a pointless answer either, which means everything is now riding
0:40:46 > 0:40:49on your third and final answer, which is Oprah Winfrey.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53For you to win the £6,250 jackpot, this has to be pointless,
0:40:53 > 0:40:56so let's find out how many people said Oprah Winfrey and, again,
0:40:56 > 0:41:00we are looking for actors from the cast of The Color Purple.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08It's right. Well, our scores so far have been 40 for Prince,
0:41:08 > 0:41:1245 for Whoopi Goldberg. Oprah Winfrey passes both of those.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Down she goes, through the 20s, into the teens.
0:41:14 > 0:41:1517!
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Well, very well done, three correct answers there,
0:41:21 > 0:41:24but I'm sorry to say you didn't manage to find that all-important
0:41:24 > 0:41:28pointless answer. So we can't give you today's jackpot of £6,250.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30That will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33But a very strong performance, right across the show,
0:41:33 > 0:41:36plenty to be proud of there, and you get to take home
0:41:36 > 0:41:40- a Pointless trophy, so very well done.- Which is what we came for!
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Yeah, great show today. Let's take a look at the pointless answers
0:41:46 > 0:41:49that would've seen you walking away with that jackpot.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51The Metropolitan Line,
0:41:51 > 0:41:54you could've had Finchley Road, Moorgate, Pinner, Watford.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56The Pointless express also stops at Chalfont and Latimer,
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Chesham, Chorleywood, Oxley, Great Portland Street, Ickenham, Moorpark,
0:41:59 > 0:42:03change at North Harrow for Northwick Park, Northwood, Northwood Hills...
0:42:03 > 0:42:05- LAUGHTER - ..Preston Road, Rickmansworth,
0:42:05 > 0:42:06Ruislip Manor and West Harrow.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Very well done if you got any of those. Actors in The Color Purple.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Everybody in The Color Purple was a pointless answer,
0:42:12 > 0:42:14apart from the two you mentioned and Danny Glover.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Laurence Fishburne is there, for example.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19He's probably the most famous of the pointless answers up there.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23And acts with UK top 40 singles and albums, it's another tough one,
0:42:23 > 0:42:26actually. D12, Jackie Dennis, who had a hit with Purple People Eater,
0:42:26 > 0:42:29as did Sheb Wooley, who was also a pointless answer.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Rod Stewart and the Scotland Euro 96 squad
0:42:31 > 0:42:34and Whitesnake, The Purple Album. You could also have Groove Armada.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37In fact, the only ones that scored points were Prince,
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Deep Purple, perhaps understandably,
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Jimi Hendrix Experience and Donny and Marie Osmond.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Everyone else a pointless answer,
0:42:43 > 0:42:45so very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Thanks very much indeed.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49And thank you to Jackie and Sarah, who very sadly didn't win
0:42:49 > 0:42:52our jackpot today, which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:42:52 > 0:42:56when we will be playing for £7,250.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58AUDIENCE OOHS
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
