0:00:19 > 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 game where we aim for the obscure and we ignore the obvious.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38I'm Jamie, this is my stepdad, David, and we're from London.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40- Couple number two. - Hi, I'm Mark from Retford,
0:00:40 > 0:00:42and this is my friend Paula from Liverpool.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Couple number three.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Leila, and this is my husband, Simon,
0:00:46 > 0:00:48and we're from Chepstow.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49And finally couple number four.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Sunil, this is Katy, and we are a couple from Nottingham.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54And these are today's contestants.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56APPLAUSE
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Thank you very much, all of you, welcome to the show.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00We'll get to chat to each of you
0:01:00 > 0:01:02throughout the show as it goes along,
0:01:02 > 0:01:04so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09As huge as a Russian billionaire's London mansion, but never as vacant,
0:01:09 > 0:01:11it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Hiya. Hey, everybody. Good afternoon.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- Afternoon, afternoon. - Good afternoon.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- Now, this jackpot is boiling up nicely, I would say.- Isn't it?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- Simmering away, isn't it?- Yes.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Eight people here, all of whom would like to get their hands on it.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Two pairs have been on before, Sunil and Katy, they're on podium four,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32got knocked out in Round One.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Now, David and Jamie,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36how unlucky were David and Jamie in the last round?
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Got through to the head-to-head, 1-1, and then in the final thing,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42just one word wrong with an answer, we had to give it to the other pair,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45but very, very unlucky.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47But the good news is you're back again and the jackpot's even higher,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49so who lost, really?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Plan all along. - Well, thank you very much indeed.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55As you've gathered, Jackie and Sarah didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00so today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:01 > 0:02:04APPLAUSE
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13So, you know the rule,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be
0:02:16 > 0:02:18eliminated, so keep your scores low,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20no conferring until the head-to-head round.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Other than that, best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Our first category today is...
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Words. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32who's going to go second? Whoever's going first,
0:02:32 > 0:02:33please step up to the podium.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39OK, let's find out what the question is, here it comes.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many words ending in
0:02:44 > 0:02:47W-A-Y as they could.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- W-A-Y, Richard.- Yeah,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52looking for any word which has its own entry in the British
0:02:52 > 0:02:55and World English section of oxforddictionaries.com,
0:02:55 > 0:02:56please, that ends W-A-Y.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58As always, no proper nouns,
0:02:58 > 0:03:00no hyphenated words, anything like that.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01Very, very best of luck.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Very interesting indeed.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I might try and predict you. I've been quite bad predicting yours.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08The last couple of times I got it wrong.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- I've been bad at choosing the ones that you've selected for me.- Maybe.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13But I'll have a little think. It's tricky, this one.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15It is tricky. Thank you.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Now, David, welcome back.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18- Hi.- Great to have you here.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Remind us, what do you do again?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22At the moment, I'm just getting over
0:03:22 > 0:03:24a motorbike accident and convalescing,
0:03:24 > 0:03:26but about to head over to South America.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28South America, for a few years?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Yeah, that's the plan.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Do you know what you'll be doing there, or is the idea just to relax?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I'm going to be doing some travelling
0:03:35 > 0:03:36and I'm qualified as a teacher,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39so perhaps a bit of teaching of English as we travel.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Sort of TEFL-type teaching? - Yeah, exactly.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Do you know where you'll be staying, where you'll live?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Starting in Rio, we've got a one-way ticket to Rio,
0:03:45 > 0:03:46and we'll take it from there.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48That's incredibly exciting.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49You may not come back, who knows?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52I mean, sorry, because you've chosen to stay, not because...
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I mean, you understand what I'm saying? Because...
0:03:55 > 0:03:56HE LAUGHS AWKWARDLY
0:03:56 > 0:04:01Anyway, quickly moving on. David, what would you like to go for?
0:04:02 > 0:04:06I'm sort of tempted to go for a bit of a punt,
0:04:06 > 0:04:08just cos I'm not sure if it's hyphenated or not,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11but I'm going to go for it anyway, hell.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- Superhighway. - Superhighway, says David.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Superhighway. Little buzz from the audience there.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Let's see if it's right.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Let's see how many of our 100 people said it if it is.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26It is right, David.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28HE SIGHS
0:04:32 > 0:04:33And it's a pointless answer!
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Very, very well done indeed, David.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38That adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41takes the total up to £7,500,
0:04:41 > 0:04:42scores you nothing,
0:04:42 > 0:04:44and is generally marvellous.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- There you are. - That's terrific stuff.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48What a start to the show, and well done on having the guts
0:04:48 > 0:04:50for going for it as well. Yeah, superhighway.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53We think of it often in the term information superhighway, of course.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Thank you very much indeed.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Mark, welcome to Pointless, great to have you here.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- What do you do, Mark?- I work for the Sports Ground Safety Authority.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04OK. Are you based at any particular ground, or do you tour around?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- We're a government organisation... - Right.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08..that's an expert on sports safety and
0:05:08 > 0:05:12spectator safety, and we look after the whole of Great Britain.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Very good. Are you a football fan anyway?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- No, I'm not, personally. - But a sports fan at all?
0:05:17 > 0:05:18No, not really!
0:05:20 > 0:05:22That's a wasted opportunity!
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Big, big fan of safety.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Big fan of safety. - Oh, he's a fan of safety.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27See, that, of all the things...
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Do you know what, that is the right thing.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32If you're a fan of sport, your back would be towards...
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- I'd be distracted.- Exactly, exactly.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37So, no, you are in the right job there.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39What are your hobbies, Mark?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I've got a dog called Milo, border terrier, enjoy taking him on walks,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45took him to the Lake District this year a couple of times,
0:05:45 > 0:05:48then down to Bournemouth and into Wales as well.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Very good. How far does he walk?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52He'll do ten, 15 miles.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Terriers, you can never really tire them out.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Now, Mark, what would you like to go for?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- I'll go for castaway. - Castaway, says Mark.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04OK, let's see how many of our 100 people said that, castaway.
0:06:14 > 0:06:166 for castaway, very good indeed.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Person who's been shipwrecked or stranded, castaway.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Thank you very much indeed. Now, Leila, welcome to Pointless.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Great to have you here. From Wales?
0:06:30 > 0:06:31- Yeah, Chepstow.- From Chepstow.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33What do you do, Leila?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- I'm a teacher.- What do you teach?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- I teach maths and English. - To what level do you teach?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40I was hoping words didn't come up, actually,
0:06:40 > 0:06:41because it's a bit of pressure!
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- ALEXANDER LAUGHS - To do it right.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45And it's not just pressure of what you should know,
0:06:45 > 0:06:48it's the pressure of all those people watching you who you teach.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53- Yes.- Now, Leila, let's just distract you for a moment or two from that.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56What are your interests, outside the classroom?
0:06:56 > 0:06:57I like ballroom dancing.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Where do you do that?
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Just a local ballroom dancing club with my daughter, Seren.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Excellent. Hi, Seren.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11I like Wales football, and I watch that with my son, Jacob.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Very good indeed. Now, Leila, we come to the word.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15We've had some good words so far.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Sorry, I'm adding to the pressure, sorry, that's no help at all.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I think I'm going to gamble on Segway.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25OK, Segway. There's a buzz again.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Is it a good buzz or a bad buzz?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- I don't know.- Segway.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Well, we shall find out. Segway, is it right, and, if it is,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34how many people said Segway?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Oh, Leila, I'm sorry,
0:07:42 > 0:07:43I'm afraid that's an incorrect
0:07:43 > 0:07:45answer and it scores you 100 points.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Yeah, it's a trademark, I'm afraid, Segway machines.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51There you go. OK, now, Katy.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Katy, that takes some pressure off, I think?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- Hopefully.- Yes.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Now, remind us what you do, Katy.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I'm a writer and blogger.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03You are a writer and blogger.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04You were saying it is a beauty blog?
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- It is.- Does that mean you test products out and report on them?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Yes, so I either buy or get sent beauty products,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15and I review them and put them on the website.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Was your background in beauty as well?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- No, my background's in English and creative writing.- Right.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25And when I started uni, I realised that I love beauty, I love writing,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- it makes sense to put them together. - It just does, it absolutely does.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Now, Katy, what would you like to go for?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I'm going to go for flyaway.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Flyaway, as in hair?
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Yeah, flyaway hairs.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39There we are, which you probably write about often in your blog.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Occasionally, yeah. - There we are, flyaway,
0:08:41 > 0:08:43let us find out how many of our 100 people said flyaway.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48It is right.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Well, 100 is the highest score, which you passed a while ago.
0:08:52 > 0:08:536 is the next score...
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Ho-ho! Now, what about that? Very well done. Down to 1.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Very good work indeed,
0:08:59 > 0:09:011 for flyaway.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Yeah, terrific answer. Yeah, the fine and difficult to control hair.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Look, mine, honestly, it just...
0:09:07 > 0:09:09A breeze and it's
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- all over the place.- Just flown away.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- Donald Trump-like.- Yeah!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15There's a man with flyaway hair, isn't it?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Do you think that's flyaway?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Maybe flown away.- LAUGHS: Yeah.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Anyway, we're halfway through the round,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Zero is our best score, very well done.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27I think you'll be in Round Two.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30As I think will Katy and Sunil with their 1,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32as I think will Mark and Paula with their 6.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Leila and Simon, let's see what happens in the next part.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Simon, maybe find a pointless answer,
0:09:37 > 0:09:38just as a little gesture.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- I'll see what I can rustle up. - Little parting gesture.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Anyway, we're going to come back down the line now,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50There we are, OK. Now, Sunil, remember we are looking
0:09:50 > 0:09:53for words ending W-A-Y.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Sunil, remind us what you do.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Yes, I work for an optical company, mainly in the dispatch department.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02That's right, sending out lenses and glasses frames.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05What are your interests, out of the world of sight?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Mainly music and film, I try to watch a film a day.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- Really?- Yeah, I've been keeping
0:10:10 > 0:10:11a list since I was about six years old.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Oh, no, that's impressive.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16So you have an enormous film reference library in your head?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- Yeah, absolutely. - And if you write them down,
0:10:19 > 0:10:20that helps you remember stuff?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Are you good at remembering plots and actors' names?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Yeah, I try to, I try to group them together a little bit as well into
0:10:25 > 0:10:27themes and directors, things like that.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Do you blog that as well?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Little bit, not as much as this one.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Very interesting. Well, there you are, perfect training for Pointless.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39You're on 1. If you can possibly score 98 or less, you are definitely
0:10:39 > 0:10:41into the next round. What would you like to go for?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Brilliant, I'm going to go with the word underway.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Underway.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Underway, says Sunil.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48Here is your red line.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52How many people said underway?
0:10:55 > 0:10:56It's right.
0:11:02 > 0:11:039.
0:11:07 > 0:11:099, taking your total up to 10.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Very strong answer, that was Speedy Gonzales' catchphrase.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Thank you very much, Richard.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Simon, welcome to pointless.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- What do you do, Simon? - I work for the Council.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Can I ask you which department, or is that just prying too far?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25No, it's not top secret.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29It's on the ground maintenance side, cutting grass, taking down trees,
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- outdoorsy stuff.- Oh, that's nice.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34What do you do in high winter, or low winter, I should say?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Are you still out in all weathers?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Get cold, you know, get cold, at the mercy of the elements,
0:11:39 > 0:11:40so just gloves and a hat.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Could you say, if it's really freezing, if it's an horrific day,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46can you say, "Today is a day for planning,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48"I've got seed charts to do."
0:11:49 > 0:11:51On very rare occasions, we might sit in the van...
0:11:53 > 0:11:55..if it gets particularly cold.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Oh, there's a van!
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- Oh, he's got it easy!- Yeah.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- This guy's got a van!- And sometimes you can have a bonfire, presumably?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- Yeah!- Oh...
0:12:05 > 0:12:07It gets better! Very nice.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Simon, what are your interests outside work?
0:12:09 > 0:12:10I love basketball.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- Do you play?- Not as much as I'd like to,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17because it coincides with one of my son's...
0:12:17 > 0:12:21one of his hobbies, but five-a-side in the week. Yeah.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Very nice. Now, Simon, you know what you have to do here.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28I'm afraid poor Leila had a shocker on that first pass there.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Let's see if you can find a nice low score.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34I'm not sure how cast-iron this one is, because it might be two words,
0:12:34 > 0:12:36but I'm going to go for Milky Way.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Milky Way, says Simon.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Well, no red line for you as you are the highest scorers.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43Let's see if Milky Way is right.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Bad luck, Simon.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51It scores 100 points. That's nice, you're equal there.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53He did that to make me feel better.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Well, 200 is your total.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57It's normally the answer you can give in between rounds
0:12:57 > 0:13:00without ruining your score, isn't it, Milky Way? But not this.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02The most delicious answer we've had yet.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Definitely that. Thank you very much.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06- Paula.- Hello.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Welcome to Pointless.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Here from Liverpool. What keeps you busy in Liverpool, Paula?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Well, I don't actually work in Liverpool, I work in Manchester,
0:13:13 > 0:13:17which isn't too good, but I work for a construction company.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- So do you commute?- I commute every morning.- Every morning?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- There's a good train, isn't there? - Six o'clock.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Oh, Lordy, that's early. Early start.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26What are your interests, Paula?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Well, I play football for a ladies' football team
0:13:29 > 0:13:31and I like spending time with my grandkids,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33and also going to watch Liverpool FC.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Lovely. How many grandkids have you got?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I've got two, Eva and Roman.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Eva and Roman.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Now, Paula, you are through to the next round, which is good news,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46but, I mean, let's have a nice low score from you,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48see if you can get better than Mark.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50I think I'm just going to say hallway.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Hallway. Hallway, let's see how many of our 100 people said hallway.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55There's now no red line, I'm afraid,
0:13:55 > 0:13:57cos we have our highest scorers there,
0:13:57 > 0:13:59and even if you score 100, you won't overtake them.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Look at that, very well done indeed.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Very well done, 3,
0:14:15 > 0:14:16taking your total up to 9.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Lovely low score there.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Well played, Paula, yeah, just another word for hall, hallway.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- There we are.- It is. I don't know what else to say, it is.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- It is that, yes. - Posher or less posh?
0:14:28 > 0:14:29What's posher? One of them's posher.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Maybe hallway is sort of a hall that's also a bit of a passage.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Yeah, I agree. But hall also suggests maybe something grander,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- where hallway is like... - I think you're right.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Don't pass each other in the hallway,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41whereas in the hall, loads of room.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- Like ships in the night.- You can swing snooker cues in the hall.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I mean, obviously you'd hit each other, but...
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Now, Jamie.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Hello.- Now, then, Jamie, remind us what you do?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53I'm an analyst at a sustainability company.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56That's right, and what are your interests?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Football's a big interest, I watch a lot of football, I play football,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01so that kind of dominates most of the week,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04but outside of that, I've just moved,
0:15:04 > 0:15:07so I like to get out and see the new local bars, restaurants,
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- that kind of thing. - Always exciting just having moved.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- It is, yeah.- Very good.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Are you sharing a house with friends?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Sharing a house with friends from school.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Excellent. Now, there you are on nothing.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Doesn't matter what you score, but quite nice to have double pointless,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23I think. I'll try.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27A few things I'm thinking of, I'm just going to go with throwaway.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Throwaway, says Jamie.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Throwaway. Well, let's see if that's right,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34let's see how many people said it. No red line for you, obviously,
0:15:34 > 0:15:36because you're already through.
0:15:44 > 0:15:462.
0:15:48 > 0:15:512 for throwaway.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Very well done indeed.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55They mean business again on podium one, don't they?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Another terrific answer. Now, have you got one for me?
0:15:58 > 0:16:01I have, yeah. It's a very ugly word.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03It's a word that you only ever see... The councils use it.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06I've never, it's not a word anyone tends to use,
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I'm hoping people have forgotten it.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Footway, people say footway.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Footway...- Instead of pavement. - ..would have scored you 2 points.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Oh, that is disappointing.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Do you know what I thought you were going to say?- What did you think?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19I thought you were going to say bridleway.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20See, that's much better.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23But also cos I assumed you live near bridleways.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- I do.- Bridleway would have scored 5 points,
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- so you came up with a much better answer.- Well, there we are.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29So, well done. There's some nice pointless answers here.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Let's take a look at a few of them. Colourway, crossway,
0:16:32 > 0:16:33which is roads that cross each other,
0:16:33 > 0:16:36entranceway is a pointless answer.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Greenway, which is sort of part of a green belt, laneway, multiway,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43ridgeway, routeway, superhighway, look at that.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Loads of others, some really fun ones, actually.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Cutaway, that's a TV term for things you use in an edit, entryway,
0:16:49 > 0:16:50same as entranceway.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Expressway, you could have had.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Any Geordie out there, howay is in the dictionary,
0:16:54 > 0:16:56that would have been a pointless answer as well.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Very well done if you said that. Let's take a look at the top three,
0:16:58 > 0:17:00the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Obviously, you're not allowed to say "way" itself.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13So, at the end of our first round,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I'm sorry to say it's Simon and Leila.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17We have to say goodbye to you with your high score of 200,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20but you will be back next time and I'm sure will go much further then.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24In the meantime, thank you very much for playing, Simon and Leila.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36And there we are, three pairs remain.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39At the end of this round, we will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42But I couldn't say which pair that is going to be.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44You've all been brilliant, lovely low scores there.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46All single-figure scores.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48David and Jamie, special mention to you, I guess,
0:17:48 > 0:17:51with your pointless answer there, but very well done to everyone.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Very best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Our category for Round Two today is...
0:17:59 > 0:18:00EU member states.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:03 > 0:18:04who's going to go second,
0:18:04 > 0:18:06and whoever's going first please, step up to the podium.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:15 > 0:18:17European currency, Richard.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Yeah, each of the countries that are members of the euro are allowed to
0:18:19 > 0:18:22put their own symbols on the backs of euro coins.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23We're going to, on each board,
0:18:23 > 0:18:25tell you six of the things that are on the backs of euro coins,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28you just need to tell us the country in which you'd find that coin.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30There's going to be 12 in all to have a go at, at home.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33There are... Obviously, what the symbols are
0:18:33 > 0:18:35are kind of clues to the country anyway.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Thank you very much indeed.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38So, we are looking for the countries
0:18:38 > 0:18:41in which you would find these symbols on their euros.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43And we have got...
0:18:59 > 0:19:01I'll read those all again.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19David. This, I'm going to say, it could be easier, couldn't it?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Could be easier, definitely.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25- There's a couple of sort of obvious ones there.- Yes.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28There's another one which I sort of have an inkling for,
0:19:28 > 0:19:32but I'm not sure if I can risk it, really.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36I'm going to have to play safe on this and go...
0:19:37 > 0:19:39..Brandenburg Gate, Germany.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Brandenburg Gate, Germany.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Well, I mean, tactically you might be taking one off the board
0:19:44 > 0:19:46that others know, so not a bad thing to do.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Let's see if Germany's right,
0:19:47 > 0:19:49let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52It is right.
0:19:55 > 0:19:5761, not as bad as it might have been.
0:19:57 > 0:20:0061 for the Brandenburg Gate being Germany.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Yeah, one of the most visited sites in Berlin, the Brandenburg Gate.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Thank you very much, Richard.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Paula.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I don't know any of them at all, so it's just a total guess.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13I'm going to go King Willem-Alexander
0:20:13 > 0:20:16and I'm going to say the Netherlands.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18The Netherlands, exactly what I'd have said for that.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Let's see if it's right, let's see
0:20:19 > 0:20:21how many of our 100 people said the Netherlands.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26It is right. Good answer, Paula.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27Look at that, down it goes.
0:20:30 > 0:20:329.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Very well done indeed, Paula.
0:20:34 > 0:20:369 for the Netherlands.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Well played, Paula, good instincts there.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Yeah, he became king in 2013.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Now then, Sunil, this board is all yours.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I know how much you are itching to take us through it.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Why don't you have a go?
0:20:51 > 0:20:53I wish that was the case. I was thinking for the top one,
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Marcus Aurelius sounds Roman,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57but then they took over a lot of places,
0:20:57 > 0:21:00so it probably isn't going to be near that area, not too sure.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Cloudberry flowers, I have no idea.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05The poet France Preseren, although it's got the word France in it,
0:21:05 > 0:21:06I don't think it's going to be France.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09King Philippe, I'm thinking, is the most French,
0:21:09 > 0:21:11so I think I'm going to go France for King Philippe.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14King Philippe, France.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16OK, well, let's see if that's right,
0:21:16 > 0:21:18let's see how many of our 100 people said France.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Oh!
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I'm afraid not France.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27I'm afraid that scores you 100 points.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Sorry, Sunil.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Yeah, it's a republic.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34It's Belgium, that would've scored you 5 points.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Well done if you said that. The top one...
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Italy.- Italy, of course.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40That would have scored you 36.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Now, the other two are tough.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Cloudberry flowers is Finland, very well done if you said that at home,
0:21:46 > 0:21:492 points. And the bottom one is a pointless answer -
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- he is the finest poet of Slovenia. - Oh, isn't he, though?!
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Slovenia, pointless answer. He's the guy who wrote,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59"There once was a girl from Slovenia...
0:21:59 > 0:22:01"who dated a guy from Armenia..."
0:22:01 > 0:22:04That one. "When crossing the border, he was bang out of order..."
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I haven't got a final line to that one, but that's...
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- I think that was one of his. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:22:12 > 0:22:159, well done, Paula, best score of that pass.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Paula and Mark, I think you'll be in the head-to-head.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21David and Jamie, 61, quite a costly answer, that one,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24but I think you might make it through.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Sunil and Katy, 100.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Now, Katy, use the new board when you get it,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30make sure you go for something that's going to be a low score.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Best of luck with that, we're going to come back down the line now.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40OK, we're going to put six more clues up on the board,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43and here they come. We have got...
0:23:00 > 0:23:02I'm going to read those all again.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20There we are.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21Katy.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24I'm going to go for Bratislava Castle and Austria.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Austria, says Katie, for Bratislava Castle.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Let's see how many of our 100 people said it, no red line for you,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31you are the high-scorers.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Bad luck, Katy, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42it scores you 100 points, your total is now 200.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Yeah. Sorry, Katy, not Austria, I'm afraid.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47It would be a brave Austrian politician who decided
0:23:47 > 0:23:50to put Bratislava Castle on the back of their euros.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Thank you. Now, Mark, a little bit of pressure off you there.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56You can enjoy this round now, you are through.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Doesn't matter what you score.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59I don't think I know any of them.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04I'll have a guess, the Cathedral of Santiago,
0:24:04 > 0:24:05I'll go for Spain.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Spain for Santiago de Compostela, let's see if that's right.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10No red line, you're already through.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11How many people said it?
0:24:13 > 0:24:14It's right.
0:24:18 > 0:24:1945.
0:24:19 > 0:24:2254 is your total.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Yeah, Santiago de Compostela,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27a beautiful World Heritage Site as well.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- And a great pilgrimage site as well, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Thank you very much indeed.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32Now, Jamie, again,
0:24:32 > 0:24:36you are through to the head-to-head for the second time running.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Now, do you feel like talking us through that board?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Even if you don't supply answers, you can do some thinking aloud,
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- if you like.- Sure, I'll try.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Castles and Coats of Arms, worryingly I was thinking England,
0:24:46 > 0:24:49then I was like, of course, we don't have euros!
0:24:49 > 0:24:52I'd say probably France for that one?
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Portrait of the pacifist Bertha von Suttner, no,
0:24:56 > 0:24:57I'm not even going to guess.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Prince Albert, maybe Monaco?
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Shields surrounded by olive and palm branches, Cyprus?
0:25:04 > 0:25:07And Bratislava Castle is the one I'll pick, I'll go for Slovakia.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Slovakia, says Jamie, for Bratislava Castle.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12No red line for you either, you're already through.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14How many people said Slovakia?
0:25:17 > 0:25:18It's right.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Well, David scored 61, you passed that very comfortably.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Down you go to 9.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Joining Paula as our joint low-scorers of the round.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Very well done, 70 is your total.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Great answer, Jamie.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Yeah, there's been a settlement where that castle stands
0:25:34 > 0:25:35since the stone ages.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38It's been a long time that there have been things there.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Now, let's see what we've got here.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Castles and Coats of Arms is Portugal, very, very tough.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46How you'd get that I don't know,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49unless you actually know the currency. 1 point for that.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Portrait of the pacifist Bertha von Suttner...
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- Austria?- That is Austria, yep, and that would've scored 4 points.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57You're quite right, Jamie, about Prince Albert, that's Monaco.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00Would have scored you 30.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03And you weren't a million miles out with Cyprus, actually,
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- for this last one - it's Malta. - Oh, is it?- Malta.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Very well done if you said that, it's a pointless answer.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10Thank you very much indeed.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- Tough round.- Yeah, very tough round.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14But fun, I feel like we've been travelling.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16So, at the end of our second round,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19the pair who are heading home with a high score of 200, Katy and Sunil,
0:26:19 > 0:26:20I'm afraid it's you.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22It was Round Two, I think, last time, wasn't it?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- Round One last time. - Oh, it was Round One last time.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Well, you've done twice as well,
0:26:26 > 0:26:28which is good, this is an improvement.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Sorry to be saying goodbye to you, but thanks for playing.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Katy and Sunil.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34APPLAUSE
0:26:34 > 0:26:37But, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Congratulations, Paula and Mark, David and Jamie, you are now
0:26:45 > 0:26:48one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50which currently stands at...
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Well, here we are at the head-to-head,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00which means you are now allowed to confer before you give your answers.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04David and Jamie, you've been here before.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Not just been here before,
0:27:05 > 0:27:07you've been standing in that very position before.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10You're up against Paula and Mark,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12we've had brilliant low scores from them.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Straight through to being our low scorers
0:27:14 > 0:27:16here in the head-to-head - very, very well done, Paula and Mark.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18David and Jamie, you know what you have to do.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Paula and Mark, you know what you have to do.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Very, very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Here is your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:35 > 0:27:36- Famous Kings, Richard.- Yeah,
0:27:36 > 0:27:39we'll show you five pictures now of people who share the surname King.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Can you identify the most obscure of these?
0:27:42 > 0:27:43Thanks very much indeed.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Let's reveal our five Kings, and here they are.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47We have got...
0:28:08 > 0:28:13There we go, five Kings.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Paula and Mark, you've been our low scorers so far,
0:28:15 > 0:28:17so you will go first.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19We're going to say go for A, and that's Ledley King.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24OK, Ledley King, say Paula and Mark.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Now then, David and Jamie,
0:28:26 > 0:28:29do you want to talk us through the other Kings?
0:28:29 > 0:28:33B is Martin Luther King, obviously, or Dr Martin Luther King, I suppose.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36C is Billie Jean King, the tennis player.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39D I just recognise, I can't...
0:28:39 > 0:28:41can't pluck the name.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43And E, I've absolutely...
0:28:43 > 0:28:45- No idea.- ..no idea whatsoever.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48So of those two, it's got to be C, Billie Jean King.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Billie Jean King say David and Jamie. So we have Ledley King,
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Billie Jean King. Paula and Mark have gone for Ledley King,
0:28:54 > 0:28:56let's see if that's right for A, and, if it is,
0:28:56 > 0:28:58let's see how many people said it.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01It's right.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Very well done indeed, Paula and Mark.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15I suspect probably more Paula than Mark there,
0:29:15 > 0:29:17but a fabulous low score.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20David and Jamie, meanwhile, have gone for Billie Jean King for C,
0:29:20 > 0:29:23let's see how many of our 100 people agree with them.
0:29:26 > 0:29:27It's right.
0:29:32 > 0:29:3328.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Very well done, Paula and Mark. After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Yeah, very well played, that's a terrific answer, Ledley King.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42There is one answer of there that would beat it, which is E,
0:29:42 > 0:29:44but will get onto that.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47B is Martin Luther King.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Big scorer, 86 points for that.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53D is Larry King, the American talk-show host.
0:29:53 > 0:29:5522 points for that.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59And E is the American actor from Heart Of Dixie, Jaime King.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Very well done if you said Jaime King.
0:30:01 > 0:30:02A pointless answer. It's funny, isn't it,
0:30:02 > 0:30:06because often your surname is what your family used to do,
0:30:06 > 0:30:07so if you are a Cooper or someone like that.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- King is quite a... - That's a big claim.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13But it is... I mean, are they genuinely...? How does that work?
0:30:13 > 0:30:14I don't know, I don't know.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16So, your great, great, great, great,
0:30:16 > 0:30:18great-ancestors used to be arm-wrestling champions?
0:30:19 > 0:30:21And very good at it!
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Yeah.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Thank you very much indeed. So, here comes your second question.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Now, David and Jamie, you get to answer it first,
0:30:28 > 0:30:30but you have to win it to stay in the game, so good luck.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33It concerns, this second question...
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Kings to boys.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Yeah, we're going to give you five clues now which all sort of allude
0:30:39 > 0:30:41to the word "boy" in one way or another,
0:30:41 > 0:30:43can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Thank you very much indeed.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47So, let's reveal our five clues, and here they are.
0:30:49 > 0:30:50We have...
0:31:11 > 0:31:13I'll read those again.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37There we go. David and Jamie will go first.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39- We...- I think we're struggling on this board.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41But... Do you want to go for it?
0:31:41 > 0:31:46Yeah, I think we're just going to take, again, a flyer, really,
0:31:46 > 0:31:48on the one we're not 100% certain on,
0:31:48 > 0:31:51just cos the other two would be just too big, I think.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55So, the Backstreet Boys one, we're going to go for Boyz II Men.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Boyz II Men, say David and Jamie.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Now then, Paula and Mark, that board is yours.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Do you want to talk us through it?
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Um, we don't really know the first one,
0:32:05 > 0:32:09but the second one is World War II, we think.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Garcon is French,
0:32:13 > 0:32:15and the British band is Duran Duran.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17We'll go for that one, shall we? Duran Duran.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19I think we'll go for Duran Duran.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23Going for Duran Duran. So, we have Boyz II Men, we have Duran Duran.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24David and Jamie went for Boyz II Men,
0:32:24 > 0:32:26let's see if that's right
0:32:26 > 0:32:27for the Backstreet Boys supergroup.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Let's see how many people said it if it is.
0:32:32 > 0:32:33Oh!
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Not Boyz II Men, I'm afraid.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Paula and Mark have gone for Duran Duran for the Wild Boys,
0:32:41 > 0:32:43let's see if that's right and let's see how many of our 100 people said
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Duran Duran. Just has to be right for you to win the point,
0:32:46 > 0:32:47to go through to the final.
0:32:50 > 0:32:51It is right.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Very well done.
0:32:54 > 0:32:5850 is what it scores, but crucially, it is right, and that means,
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Paula and Mark, after only two questions,
0:33:00 > 0:33:02you're straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Yeah, very well played. Duran Duran, a great answer,
0:33:05 > 0:33:07also the best one of the three you knew as well.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Because John Boyne's novel, it is the Second World War,
0:33:09 > 0:33:13but it's a very big scorer, would have scored you 75 points.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16And garcon, of course, it's in French.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17Another very big scorer, 84.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- Do you remember when we were at school...- Yeah?
0:33:20 > 0:33:23I remember being taught that garcon also meant waiter.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- We were taught...- And it doesn't?
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Well, no, it doesn't, but if you ever called a waiter "garcon",
0:33:28 > 0:33:31you probably shouldn't eat whatever they bring to you!
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Is that right? But that's what all British people call waiters.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38We were taught, our generation was taught to go, "Garcon, garcon!"
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Well, at my school, we weren't taught to do that,
0:33:40 > 0:33:42but we were certainly taught garcon was waiter.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44We were taught garcon, yeah.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- And it's not?- No!
0:33:46 > 0:33:47But we still do that, don't we?
0:33:47 > 0:33:49A heinously insulting thing to say.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51No wonder they don't like us, the French!
0:33:51 > 0:33:54I know! I've never thought of that before.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58Imagine what I've eaten over the years, goodness me!
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Now, this Backstreet Boys one,
0:34:00 > 0:34:02worth a go with Boyz II Men,
0:34:02 > 0:34:04- it's New Kids On The Block. - Oh, there we are.
0:34:04 > 0:34:05Would have scored you 9 points.
0:34:05 > 0:34:10And the US singer and actress is Jennifer Lopez.
0:34:10 > 0:34:11And she would have scored you 19.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14So, New Kids On The Block, the best answer on that board,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16- well done if you said that. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:18 > 0:34:21I'm afraid... We've had a run of people who've had two consecutive
0:34:21 > 0:34:23head-to-heads without going through to the final,
0:34:23 > 0:34:25and I'm afraid you're just the latest in that thing,
0:34:25 > 0:34:27but it's been great having you on both shows.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29We've seen plenty of you, you've done really well,
0:34:29 > 0:34:32but I'm sorry you never got a sniff at the trophy.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35- But thanks very much for playing. David and Jamie.- Thanks.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41But for Paula and Mark, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Well, congratulations, Paula and Mark,
0:34:48 > 0:34:51you've fought off all the competition and you have won
0:34:51 > 0:34:53our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Ooh! That's what we came for.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Well, what about this? You now get the chance to win our Pointless
0:35:03 > 0:35:04jackpot, and at the end of today's show,
0:35:04 > 0:35:06the jackpot is standing at...
0:35:10 > 0:35:11Now...
0:35:13 > 0:35:15I mean, it's been a while since we've had a jackpot
0:35:15 > 0:35:16as exciting as that.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Anything you'd particularly like to see come up?
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Football?
0:35:21 > 0:35:23- Football.- Possibly.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27Yeah? Well, we had Ledley King, who came riding to your rescue there...
0:35:27 > 0:35:30- He did.- ..in the first question of the head-to-head.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Mark, anything you badly want to see come up?
0:35:32 > 0:35:34- Um, pop music.- Pop music? What's your favourite era?
0:35:34 > 0:35:37- Do you have a...?- Um, '80s, '90s.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39OK, anything you'd hate to see come up?
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- Um...- Art.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- And history, not very good at history.- Art and history.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Football and pop music would be great. You know what happens -
0:35:46 > 0:35:49we put four things up, you pick the one that scares you the least.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Let's hope there's something there you like the look of.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Today's selection is this.
0:35:54 > 0:35:55We have...
0:36:03 > 0:36:06- Well, my son was born in 1987. - Aww!
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Um, I don't know anything about zombie films, really.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10No, don't know. Latin American...
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Jennifer Lopez, obviously.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Paula Abdul.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Romantic poetry...
0:36:16 > 0:36:20- No.- Shall we go for that? - We'll go for 1987.- 1987.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21Best of luck. Richard?
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Yeah, good luck, three very different questions here,
0:36:23 > 0:36:25so I'm hoping at least one of these will suit you.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29We are looking for anybody who made the men's or women's quarterfinals
0:36:29 > 0:36:32at Wimbledon in 1987, the singles.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36We are looking for any members of Margaret Thatcher's post-general
0:36:36 > 0:36:39election cabinet, of June 1987.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Or we are looking for any acts that had a UK number one single or album
0:36:42 > 0:36:45in 1987, according to officialcharts.com.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49So, Wimbledon quarterfinalists, the post-general election cabinet,
0:36:49 > 0:36:51or acts that had a UK number one, all in 1987.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Very, very best of luck.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Thank you very much indeed.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Now, you've got one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of your answers
0:37:00 > 0:37:02to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:02 > 0:37:06- Yup.- OK. Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock, there they are.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07Your time starts now.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10OK, so I think we are going to concentrate on the UK number ones,
0:37:10 > 0:37:12- shall we?- Yeah, the number ones.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14- What do you think, Bananarama? - Bananarama is one, so...
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- Duran Duran would probably be one as well.- Duran Duran?
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- They were early '87, early '80s. - Bananarama...
0:37:20 > 0:37:21Who else was there?
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- Kylie Minogue?- Yeah, but is she an act, or is she a...?
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Yeah, yeah. She's classed as an act.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Kylie Minogue.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32What else was in 1987? Um...
0:37:32 > 0:37:34I'd say I was pregnant and giving birth, so...
0:37:35 > 0:37:36Come on, some other music...
0:37:36 > 0:37:40Um... I can't think of anything.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42I can think of Jason Donovan, what else, '80s acts?
0:37:42 > 0:37:44- '87...- Bros.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- Oh, yeah, Bros.- Was that '87, yeah?
0:37:47 > 0:37:48- They might have been.- Late '87.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- BOTH: Um...- Go for Bros?
0:37:53 > 0:37:54Who else?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Ten seconds left.
0:37:58 > 0:37:59- Um...- Oh, I can't think of anything.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Boy George?
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Boy George, they were early '80s, they were. Later '80s?
0:38:06 > 0:38:11- All Saints?- OK, that is your time up, I now need your three answers.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Go for Bananarama...
0:38:13 > 0:38:15- If you say which category. - Oh, sorry.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17We're going to go for the acts that had...
0:38:17 > 0:38:21Just in case I thought Bananarama qualified for Wimbledon that year!
0:38:21 > 0:38:23It could happen! Sorry, say again?
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- So, Bananarama...- Bros.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26- Bros.- I can't remember...
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- Kylie Minogue.- Kylie Minogue.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30And Kylie Minogue.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32OK, of those three, which do you think is your best shot
0:38:32 > 0:38:34- at a pointless answer?- I think Bros.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35- Bros.- OK, Bros goes last.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:37 > 0:38:39- BOTH:- Kylie Minogue. - Kylie Minogue goes first.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then,
0:38:42 > 0:38:44and here they are. We've got...
0:38:45 > 0:38:51Well, very, very best of luck. Three good answers up there.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55And a brilliant jackpot up for grabs, 7,500 quid.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57What would you do with that if you won that?
0:38:57 > 0:38:59- Paula, you first.- If I won it,
0:38:59 > 0:39:02I'd be taking my two grandchildren to Disneyland
0:39:02 > 0:39:05on the holiday of a lifetime for them.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Wonderful. Mark?
0:39:07 > 0:39:10It's my 40th birthday soon, so I'd have a good celebration with that.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Wonderful, OK. Well, very, very best of luck.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Three answers on the board, let's see how we do.
0:39:15 > 0:39:16Your first answer, in fact, all three answers,
0:39:16 > 0:39:20we were looking for 1987 UK number one in either the singles
0:39:20 > 0:39:23or the albums chart. Your first answer was Kylie Minogue.
0:39:24 > 0:39:29It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot, so for £7,500,
0:39:29 > 0:39:32let's see how many of our 100 people said Kylie Minogue, is it pointless?
0:39:36 > 0:39:37No!
0:39:38 > 0:39:42- Bad luck. Not Kylie Minogue in 1987. - Never liked her anyway!
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Only two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Your next answer was Bananarama.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Let's find out, it has to be pointless, though,
0:39:49 > 0:39:51for you to win that jackpot. For £7,500,
0:39:51 > 0:39:53let's see how many people said Bananarama.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Right, OK, so, two incorrect answers,
0:40:04 > 0:40:07everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:07 > 0:40:10which was Bros. This was the one you thought was probably most likely
0:40:10 > 0:40:13to be pointless, but it has to be right first.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Let's find out, for £7,500,
0:40:15 > 0:40:18how many people said Bros? Is it pointless?
0:40:22 > 0:40:23Oh, no!
0:40:29 > 0:40:31So hard to pin down that year.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33I'm afraid, though, you didn't manage to find
0:40:33 > 0:40:35that all-important pointless answer,
0:40:35 > 0:40:38which means you don't win today's jackpot of £7,500 -
0:40:38 > 0:40:39that will roll over the next show -
0:40:39 > 0:40:43but what a performance right across the show, very, very well done.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47And you get to take home a Pointless trophy, so there you are, well done,
0:40:47 > 0:40:49- very well done.- Thank you. - Paula and Mark.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54Yeah, and actually, you know what, three wrong answers,
0:40:54 > 0:40:57but they are actually all rather good answers.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59When it's those specific years, it's very difficult,
0:40:59 > 0:41:02and Bros and Kylie both had number ones in 1988, so, you know, really,
0:41:02 > 0:41:04really good answers, so, very,
0:41:04 > 0:41:07very unlucky and certainly not reflected in the score that you got.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Let's take a look at the different pointless answers in the different
0:41:10 > 0:41:13categories now. Lots of people at home will have gone for
0:41:13 > 0:41:16different ones here. Start with Wimbledon, those quarterfinalists.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23You also could have had Anders Jarryd,
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Claudia Kohde-Kilsch and Diane Balestrat.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28So, very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Martina Navratilova and Jimmy Connors
0:41:30 > 0:41:31were the biggest scorers there.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Now, this post general election cabinet,
0:41:33 > 0:41:36every single person in it apart from Margaret Thatcher was a male,
0:41:36 > 0:41:38and an awful lot of them are pointless answers.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Here are some of them.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47David Young, John MacGregor, John Moore,
0:41:47 > 0:41:48John Wakeham, Nicholas Ridley,
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Paul Shannon, Peter Walker and Tom King,
0:41:50 > 0:41:52all of those were pointless answers,
0:41:52 > 0:41:54very well done if you said any of those.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Now, let's have a look at these number one hits -
0:41:56 > 0:41:58lots of names you'll know on the list, unfortunately,
0:41:58 > 0:42:00but it's so tough with those specific years.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Curiosity Killed The Cat,
0:42:02 > 0:42:04who would have thought they would ever win you £7,500?
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Number one albums from Kate Bush and Paul Simon.
0:42:08 > 0:42:09Lots of other answers here.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Aretha Franklin and George Michael was a pointless answer.
0:42:12 > 0:42:13Ben E King, Def Leppard,
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Hot Chocolate, Los Lobos, who did La Bamba,
0:42:16 > 0:42:18that was number one in 1987.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20MARRS, Pump Up The Volume,
0:42:20 > 0:42:22that was number one. Mel and Kim, Respectable.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Steve "Silk" Hurley, Jack Your Body, that was a number one in 1987.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Swing Out Sister had a number one album.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31And Terence Trent D'Arby also had a number one album in 1987.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33The biggest scorers there were Madonna,
0:42:33 > 0:42:34the Pet Shop Boys and Rick Astley.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Very, very well done if you got any of those pointless answers at home,
0:42:37 > 0:42:39and really, really unlucky in the studio -
0:42:39 > 0:42:41three very good attempts there.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Thanks very much indeed, Richard. And thank you, Paula and Mark,
0:42:44 > 0:42:46fantastic performance across the show.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48I'm really sorry you didn't win the jackpot today.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51That will roll over to the next show,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54when we will be playing for £8,500.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
