0:00:14 > 0:00:17APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where we are always striving to find the most obscure answers.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Hi, I'm Kyle, this is my chum Mike, and we're from Jersey.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Louis,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44I'm from Liverpool and this is my friend Marie from Pembrokeshire,
0:00:44 > 0:00:45and we're students at Bristol.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- Couple number three. - Hi, I'm Rachel.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50I live in Horsham. This is my friend Aidan and he lives in Preston.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Alex, I'm here with my wife, Claire. We're from Hertfordshire.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57These are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Thanks very much, all of you. We'll find out more about you
0:01:01 > 0:01:03throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Still waiting for that drink I promised him in 1996,
0:01:08 > 0:01:12it's my Pointless, and indeed pintless, friend, Richard.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13Hiya.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Hi, everybody.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Good afternoon. Good afternoon to you.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20I'm not really waiting for that drink.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22It would mean I'd have to go for a drink with you. Oh!
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- That's a long evening.- Yeah.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Yeah, I know they've cancelled Armstrong and Miller.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31I'm sorry, but Ben's gone on to do other things.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- He's good, isn't he?- Yeah, he is.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Now...two returning pairs from the last show
0:01:36 > 0:01:38and they got knocked out in round one and round two,
0:01:38 > 0:01:42which normally means not the best pairs we've ever had,
0:01:42 > 0:01:43- but what a show last time.- Oh, man.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Alex and Claire, who got knocked out in round one,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48they got knocked out with four points.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Four points and they were the highest scorers of those four pairs.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54It was an amazing round one, wasn't it?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57And, in round two, we lost Mike and Kyle.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00In round one, they got two pointless answers between them.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01They got knocked out early,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03but they are very, very good players.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Now, a show doesn't go by these days without a beard.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- That looks like a proper beard. - That is a proper beard. Aidan's beard is something.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12When you watch Pointless on Challenge,
0:02:12 > 0:02:14you can tell what series we are on
0:02:14 > 0:02:16largely by the length of gentlemen's beards.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19You know, it's a great beard, but, in the olden days,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21for ten minutes, we'd have just stared at it.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Now we take these things for granted.- Yeah.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Extraordinary how times change.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Thank you very much indeed. So, yes,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31the important news is Jennifer and Naomi didn't win the jackpot
0:02:31 > 0:02:32last time, that's the big news,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34so we're adding another £1,000 to that jackpot.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Today's jackpot starts off, look at that, at £7,000.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Extraordinary.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44There we are. Now, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Only one thing you need to know and it's this -
0:02:52 > 0:02:55the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:59 > 0:03:00science.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second?
0:03:03 > 0:03:07And, whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:03:20 > 0:03:23The letters P or H, Richard.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Yes, simply looking for any elements on the periodic table
0:03:26 > 0:03:27as of December 2015 please,
0:03:27 > 0:03:31according to the IUPAC, that contain the letters P or H.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Worth remembering in this round,
0:03:33 > 0:03:35because people always get furious at home,
0:03:35 > 0:03:36that sulfer is spelt with an F.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38It is officially spelt with an F.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Mike, welcome. Here from Jersey.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- Remind us what you do, Mike.- I'm an administration and systems manager.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48You're looking after all the systems in Jersey, which is marvellous.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50When you're not looking after systems, Mike,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52what do you get up to?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56At the moment, I'm devoting a lot of my time to mini challenges
0:03:56 > 0:03:58in my 30 before 30 list.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59What's left on the list?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03It's a mix of eating challenges, travelling challenges.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04- Yeah.- Get on a quiz show
0:04:04 > 0:04:07and give Alexander Armstrong a high five challenges.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Wow. Listen, let's just sort that out right now.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13There we are. OK. There we are.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15That's good. APPLAUSE
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- OK.- I would have loved it if you said nope.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Mike, what would you like to go for?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I have a few.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31I think I'm going to go phosphorus.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Phosphorus says Mike.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Let's see if that's right
0:04:33 > 0:04:36and how many of our 100 people said phosphorus.
0:04:44 > 0:04:4530.
0:04:47 > 0:04:4930 for phosphorus.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Two Ps and two Hs in that.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55That is packed full of Ps and Hs.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Yeah. Fantastic.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Well done. Good. 30 there.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Now, Louis. Louis, what do you do, Louis?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03I'm a biochemistry student at Bristol.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05At Bristol. What year are you in?
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Final year, third year.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07How's biochemistry been at Bristol?
0:05:07 > 0:05:11It's difficult, but I quite enjoy it in general.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Have you worked out what you're going to do when you finish yet?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Well, I'm thinking of completely abandoning my degree, actually,
0:05:17 > 0:05:19and going into animal conservation.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Good stuff. Now, Louis, what are you going to go for?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26I should really know this, considering my course,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29but I'm going to go for lithium.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30- Lithium.- Yeah.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Lithium says Louis.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Let's see how many of our 100 people said lithium.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37It's right.
0:05:39 > 0:05:4130's our only score at this point
0:05:41 > 0:05:42and you fly past that.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Down you go to four. Very well done indeed.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Good answer.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Well done, Louis.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Lithium. Louis is a professional biochemist,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56so if anyone can beat that score, that'd be impressive.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Wouldn't it? Very good.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Thanks, Richard.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Now, Rachel, what do you do?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04I'm a retail manager in a department store.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06How many floors are you on, your department store?
0:06:06 > 0:06:11Well, we've only got two floors, but we only sell home products.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Is it an old-fashioned department store?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17It's one that's been around for about 150 years,
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- but we're quite modern these days. - OK.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Excellent. What do you do apart from that?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24In my spare time, I like collecting records
0:06:24 > 0:06:28and I do a bit of DJing on the side with one of my friends.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30We run an '80s night together...
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Fantastic. - ..which is just the most fun.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37Excellent. Now, Rachel, chemical elements with Ps or Hs.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Now, I've got one, I don't know if I'm going to pronounce it correctly,
0:06:40 > 0:06:42it's europium.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Europium, says Rachel. Let's see if that's right.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Let's see how many of our 100 people said Europium.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50(Please be right. Please be right. Please be right.)
0:06:50 > 0:06:52It is right.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Well, 30's our high score, four is our low,
0:06:55 > 0:06:57you fly past 30, you fly past four.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Look at that, down to one. Very well done indeed, Rachel.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Very good.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Great answer, Rachel. Pointless favourite, Europium.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10So Louis got beaten by an '80s DJ there.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Thanks, Richard. Now then, Claire.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Claire, remind us what you do.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I'm a legal PA, I work for a shipping law firm in London.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Shipping law. That's the kind of law you want to be in, shipping law.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23- It's very exciting.- Fun.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25What do you do when you're not doing shipping law?
0:07:25 > 0:07:29We've got a young daughter, so that takes up a lot of our time.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- A year old, you said, last time? - Yeah. Yes.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Lovely. What's her name? - Abigail.- If we say hello, Abigail,
0:07:34 > 0:07:37it'll be meaningless to her, but still, hello, Abigail.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39So, Claire, what are you going to go for?
0:07:39 > 0:07:40I have two in mind.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42One is probably quite obvious,
0:07:42 > 0:07:43so I'm going to take a bit of a risk
0:07:43 > 0:07:45because I don't know if it is one or not
0:07:45 > 0:07:47and go for dysprosium.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Dysprosium, says Claire, let's see if it's right.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Let's see how many of our 100 people said dysprosium.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57It's right.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58So, 30 the high score.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I bet you go past that, you do.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02One is our low score, you pass that.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Yes, indeed!
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Dysprosium is our first pointless answer of the show.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09It adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:08:09 > 0:08:11takes the total up to £7,250.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12It scores you nothing.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Very, very well done indeed, Claire.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16- Fantastic.- Well-played, Claire.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20So, two answers last time, you scored four, now another zero,
0:08:20 > 0:08:22so for people who've never been in the second round yet,
0:08:22 > 0:08:24it's very, very impressive. Yeah, dysprosium.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- Louis, once again. - Yeah, it's not looking good.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27- You're getting beaten.- There we are.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30We're halfway, so let's take a quick look at those scores.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Zero, of course, the best score.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33An unbeatable score on the far podium.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Then up to one, where we find Rachel and Aidan.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Up to four, where we find Louis and Marie,
0:08:38 > 0:08:40and then up to 30, Mike and Kyle.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Now, about this, Kyle, how is your chemistry?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Um...
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- Mixed.- OK, good luck with your score then, Kyle.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49We'll look forward to that. We'll come back down the line.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56OK. So, Alex, remember,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58we're looking for elements that contain the letters P or H,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01but before we get an answer from you, Alex, remind us what you do.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04I'm an applications manager for a law firm in the city.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Aside from the law, Alex, what do you get up to?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I do a lot of cycling, playing guitar
0:09:09 > 0:09:10and also looking after Abigail.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Trying to get her to win Wimbledon one day
0:09:12 > 0:09:14so we can retire early, about 50.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I know she's only one, but you've got to think ahead.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Good stuff. OK, now, Alex, there you are on nothing,
0:09:19 > 0:09:21the high scorers on 30, Kyle and Mike.
0:09:21 > 0:09:2329 or less keeps you in the game.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Science isn't the strong subject at all,
0:09:26 > 0:09:27but I think I saw one the other day.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I might be making this up, but I'm going to say Rutherfordium.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Rutherfordium.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33Or Ruther-fudium.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Listen, call it what you like,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Rutherfordium is what I'm going to say.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39There's your red line. If you get below that,
0:09:39 > 0:09:40you're through to the next round.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Let's see how many of our 100 people said Rutherfordium.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51You've done it. Very well done, Alex.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Ah, one!
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Exceptional play on the far podium there.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00One is your total because you score one for Rutherfordium.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Great answer, Alex. Well-played.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Named after Mike Rutherford from Genesis.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Across four answers now, they've scored five points.
0:10:06 > 0:10:081.25 points a question.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- That's going it some! - Not bad, not bad at all.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Thank you, Richard. Now, Aidan, what do you do?
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- I'm a drum teacher. - How long have you taught drums?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- About eight years.- You're also a practitioner of drums?
0:10:21 > 0:10:22I play, yeah. I play.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24How many bands do you play in?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Currently, three. - What kind of music do you play?
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Sort of mixture between rock, folk, a bit of psychedelic.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Wow. Aidan, you're on one.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34The high scorers here are Kyle and Mike on 30.
0:10:34 > 0:10:3728 or less gets you through.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Dreadful subject for me.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39I'm going to have to go for
0:10:39 > 0:10:41something really obvious like plutonium.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Plutonium says Aidan.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Here's your red line. If you get below that red line,
0:10:47 > 0:10:49you are through to round two.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51How many people said plutonium?
0:10:54 > 0:10:55It's right.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01You've done it. Very well done indeed. Just 22.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Takes your total up to 23.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Good work, Aidan.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08I love that look of relief on Aidan's face there.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Very well-played, Aidan.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Good name for a band as well, plutonium, I would say.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Wonderful. There we are.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Now, Marie, hello.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17- Welcome to the show.- Thanks.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- Also studying at Bristol.- Yes.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- What do you study? - I study history of art.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- How's that going?- Really good, I really enjoy it.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26What do you do when you're not studying?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28So, I'm currently training for a half marathon.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29- Ah.- Running quite a lot.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Where's the half marathon?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- In Bath.- In Bath, excellent.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34- Well, I hope you do well.- Thank you.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38You're on four, the high scorers in front of you still Kyle and Mike.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41If you can possibly score 25 or less,
0:11:41 > 0:11:43you are through to the next round.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46That's unlikely. This isn't a very good round for me.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Louis is going to be annoyed at me later,
0:11:48 > 0:11:50but I'm going to have to go for potassium,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52which I'm not even sure is...
0:11:52 > 0:11:54It sounds like it's got a P in it.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Sounds like it, but I'm not sure.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58OK. Well, let's find out, potassium.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Let's see if it has a P in it.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Let's see how many of our 100 people said potassium.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02There's your red line.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Oh!
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Ohhh! Marie. 35.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13It was expected.
0:12:13 > 0:12:1535 takes your total up to 39.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Kyle and Mike back in with a chance there.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Makes that final question very interesting, doesn't it?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Potassium, we've got potassium in every single cell in our body.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Thank you very much. Kyle, there you are on 30.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27All a little bit tense here.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29You know what you have to do. Kyle,
0:12:29 > 0:12:31remind us what you get up to in Jersey?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I'm an accountant, a fund accountant,
0:12:33 > 0:12:34in Jersey in the finance sector.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Very good. And, aside from accounting,
0:12:37 > 0:12:38what do you like to get up to?
0:12:38 > 0:12:40A lot of golf, running, five-a-side
0:12:40 > 0:12:41football, that sort of thing.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Sounds fun in Jersey, doesn't it?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- Doesn't it just? Amazing. - A lot of golf.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Very good indeed.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Now, how comfortable are you amongst these chemical elements?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Well, obviously I know some, but...
0:12:53 > 0:12:55I'm going to go with...
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Proposium.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Propo... Have you made this one up?
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Yes.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Proposium.- That's it, yeah.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07OK. Let's find out if that exists.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Here is the column.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Here is your line.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Right down at the bottom of it.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13If you get below that with proposium,
0:13:13 > 0:13:14you are into the next round.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17How many of our 100 people said proposium?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Oh, I'm sorry, Kyle.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I'm afraid not yet an element.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I'm afraid that scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 130.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30- Good name for an element though. - Yeah.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33People make stuff up sometimes, it's disappointing.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- That I thought was rather good, wasn't it?- It was good, yeah.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- Shall we look at the pointless answers?- I think we should.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40What our 100 people said when we asked them online.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Copernicium was a pointless answer.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44Holmium. Krypton,
0:13:44 > 0:13:47a pointless answer, very well done if you said that.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50And lanthanum, neptunium, protactinium.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54That's got a nice name, hasn't it? Rhenium, thallium and thorium -
0:13:54 > 0:13:56very well done if you said any of those.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Let's take a look at the top three,
0:13:58 > 0:14:00the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02There's potassium, 35.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Helium, 45.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Should be right at the top. Oh, there we go, hydrogen on 73.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Fabulous. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13At the end of that, the pair we are saying goodbye to,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16it's our double pointless scorers from the first round last time.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17It's been wonderful having you.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Thank you so much for coming to play, Kyle and Mike.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34And so we are now down to three pairs.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37We'll have to say goodbye to another pair at the end of this round,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39but the big story of round one is Alex and Claire.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Extraordinary, we said goodbye to you
0:14:40 > 0:14:42at the end of the first round last time
0:14:42 > 0:14:44and here you are with just one point between you.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Fantastic. Really, really good play there.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Our category for round two this afternoon...
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Famous people.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first, who's second?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59And, whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06OK, and the question concerns...
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Time magazine's 100 most significant historical figures.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16- Richard.- On each board,
0:15:16 > 0:15:17we're going to show you six clues
0:15:17 > 0:15:19and the answers to each of those clues
0:15:19 > 0:15:21is someone who appeared on this list.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Six on the first board, six on the second,
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- 12 to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.- Thanks very much.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Let's reveal our first board of six clues and here they come.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31We have got...
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I'm going to read those one last time.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Louis, it's you up first.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Well, I think I might know a few,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30but I think I'll play it relatively safe
0:16:30 > 0:16:34and say Thomas Edison as the US inventor.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Thomas Edison as the US inventor
0:16:36 > 0:16:39of the first practical filament light bulb. Let's see if that's right.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44It is right.
0:16:49 > 0:16:5031.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- 31 for Thomas Edison. - Well-played, Louis.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56Not a bad start at all.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Edison claims that he proposed to his second wife by Morse code.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01Very good. Now then,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Rachel, what would you like to go for?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- SHE SIGHS - I've got no idea!
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Um... This is going to be a complete guess.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13I'm going to go for the German composer.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I don't know, it's not going to be right,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17but I'm going to say Handel.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20OK, Rachel is saying Handel for the German composer of The Ring Cycle.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I'm afraid not Handel.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- That scores you 100 points. - Yeah, sorry, Rachel.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Are you just naming things you can buy in your shop?
0:17:36 > 0:17:37LAUGHTER
0:17:37 > 0:17:41OK, Claire, you are the last person to have this board.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Do you want to just go through it with us?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46No. I haven't got a clue either.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49I'm going to have to take a guess as well
0:17:49 > 0:17:51for the Conservative politician,
0:17:51 > 0:17:52so Winston Churchill?
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Winston Churchill, says Claire, succeeding Neville Chamberlain.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02It's right.
0:18:04 > 0:18:0653 for Winston Churchill.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07There we are.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Good enough.- Good answer, Claire, well-played.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13Let's fill in the rest of the board, shall we?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15The Pope succeeded by Joseph Ratzinger.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- John Paul II.- John Paul II.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19He would have scored ten points.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Now, the British monarch... - Queen Victoria.- Queen Victoria.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Of course it is. And she would have scored 55.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28The German composer, not Handel, it was Richard Wagner.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Would have scored 42.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34And the Spanish monarch was Philip II...
0:18:34 > 0:18:35and that would have scored 25.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38So, the best answer on the board - Pope John Paul II.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Let's take a look at the scores.
0:18:42 > 0:18:4431, Louis, the best score of the pass.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45Very well done. Louis and Marie
0:18:45 > 0:18:49looking pretty strong as contenders for the head-to-head at this stage.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Up to 53, where we find Claire and Alex.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Ditto. Rachel and Aidan, I'm afraid, yes, ahead there on 100 points.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57It's not the end of the world though, Aidan.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59I think you could salvage something
0:18:59 > 0:19:01if you had a really good low score in this next pass.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03It might be enough to keep you in the game.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Best of luck with that. We're coming back now.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13OK, let's put six more clues up on the board and here they come.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16We've got...
0:19:38 > 0:19:39I'll read those all one last time.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- There we go. Alex. - Yeah, history isn't good.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06I knew three on the other board, though.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Yeah, I know one for sure.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11The Simpsons one I should know because I've watched every episode,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14but I'll stay safe and I'll say the Roman emperor is Julius Caesar.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Julius Caesar, says Alex.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Julius Caesar. Here is your red line.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19You have to get below that with Julius Caesar
0:20:19 > 0:20:21to remain with us at the end of the round.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- 49.- That's...
0:20:32 > 0:20:3549, I think that's probably good enough.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37102 is your total.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Yeah, Caesar was assassinated by his own senators.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Thanks, Richard. Now, Aidan...
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Hiya.- Aidan, what we really need from you
0:20:46 > 0:20:49at this point is a score of one.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Erm...
0:20:51 > 0:20:54I'm going to go with the top one, the French general.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56I'm going to say Napoleon Bonaparte.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Napoleon Bonaparte, says Aidan. Let's see if that's right.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Here is your red line. I mean, there it is.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Look at that.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03Yeah! If you can get below it,
0:21:03 > 0:21:06you're definitely into the next round.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Let's see how many of our 100 people said Napoleon Bonaparte.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Oh, look at that. 55.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Takes your total up to 155.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24A valiant effort, Aidan.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26He wrote a romantic novel, Napoleon Bonaparte,
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Clisson et Eugenie.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Wow! Thanks very much, Richard.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31- Now, Marie.- Hi.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33This board's all yours.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Here's good news, you're through to the next round...
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Wow!- ..whatever you score.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40But, bearing that in mind, help yourself.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42So I knew those two.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45But I'm going to have to go for Joseph Stalin
0:21:45 > 0:21:47for the leader of the Soviet Union.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50OK, Joseph Stalin for the leader of the Soviet Union during the
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Second World War. Let's see if that's right.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54No red line for you, you're already through.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56But how many people said Joseph Stalin?
0:21:58 > 0:21:59It's right.
0:22:02 > 0:22:0348.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05There you are. 48.
0:22:05 > 0:22:0779 is your total.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Well-played, Marie. Yeah, I mean, killed scores
0:22:11 > 0:22:13and millions of people, Stalin,
0:22:13 > 0:22:15but there's a picture of him on the internet, you'll find it,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18where he looks exactly like a hipster.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19And he's really, really, really,
0:22:19 > 0:22:22really ridiculously good-looking as well.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23That's a picture of him when he's young.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25It's really worth looking at!
0:22:25 > 0:22:28I don't know why I raised that. Now, the psychologist,
0:22:28 > 0:22:29- it's Sigmund Freud.- Interesting.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Sigmund Freud would have scored 35.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- The composer of the Brandenburg Concertos?- JS Bach.- Is Bach, yep.
0:22:36 > 0:22:3713 points for that.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39And the writer of The Raven?
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- Edgar Allan Poe.- Edgar Allan Poe.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42A wonderful episode as well, that is.
0:22:42 > 0:22:4429 points for that. So Bach
0:22:44 > 0:22:46is the best answer on the board.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47Thanks very much, Richard.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50So, at the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home
0:22:50 > 0:22:52with a high score of 155, Aidan and Rachel, I'm afraid it is you.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54But we'll see you again next time -
0:22:54 > 0:22:55look forward to that.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Meantime, thanks very much. Aidan and Rachel.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03But for Alex and Claire, Louis and Marie,
0:23:03 > 0:23:04it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Many congratulations, Alex and Claire, Louis and Marie.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14You are now one step closer to the final
0:23:14 > 0:23:15and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:23:15 > 0:23:19which currently stands at £7,250.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Well, you know what happens here - you go head-to-head -
0:23:26 > 0:23:28but the difference is you can now confer before you answer,
0:23:28 > 0:23:31which is wonderful. The first pair to win two questions will play
0:23:31 > 0:23:33for that jackpot. Louis, every time I see you,
0:23:33 > 0:23:35you cheer me up and I've just worked out what is.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39When we were little, we used to have a towel like that...
0:23:39 > 0:23:40LAUGHTER ..like that jumper.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Thank you!
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Anyway, listen, best of luck to both pairs.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Let's play the head-to-head.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56OK, here is your first question and it concerns...
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Screen Robots. Richard?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02We're going to show you five pictures now of robots
0:24:02 > 0:24:03that have appeared on TV and in films.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06You simply have to name that robot, please.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08OK, name that robot.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Here they come.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37There we go, five screen robots.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Alex and Claire, you've been our low scorers so you will go first.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Definitely, he's normally taller.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47So do you want to go for R2-D2 or RoboCop?
0:24:47 > 0:24:51- The only ones I know... - It's Johnny Five.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53If you're sure.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Um... We know a couple, but we're going to go for B
0:24:56 > 0:24:58and we think that's Johnny Five.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01B, Johnny Five.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04B, Johnny Five. Now, Louis and Marie.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06I think we might know three of them.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- E, I think, RoboCop.- Yeah.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11C, R2-D2.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15And I think B is WALL-E.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- And we're going to go for B. - You're also going for B,
0:25:18 > 0:25:20and you're going to say WALL-E.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23OK, so we have Johnny Five from Claire and Alex
0:25:23 > 0:25:25and WALL-E from Louis and Marie.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Only one of you can be right, obviously.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Let's find out. Or maybe neither of you!
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Who knows? It might be a completely different robot altogether.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Alex and Claire are going for Johnny Five.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40I knew it wasn't.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42I'm afraid not Johnny Five,
0:25:42 > 0:25:46which would suggest that Louis and Marie might be right,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48but let's find out for sure.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50WALL-E, is that right, how many people said it?
0:25:52 > 0:25:53It is right.
0:25:57 > 0:25:5833 people said it.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02But chiefly it was right, which means, after one question,
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Louis and Marie, you're up 1-0. Well done.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07I like it when people go for the same answer as somebody else,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10especially when it's people who look as lovely and polite
0:26:10 > 0:26:13as Louis and Marie. It just shows a steeliness at your core.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Yeah, Johnny Five from Short Circuit, of course,
0:26:15 > 0:26:19but that's WALL-E. We'll clear up D and E first.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21E, you're absolutely right, was RoboCop.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Pretty big scorer, though.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24Would have scored 52.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25And D...
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Is that Marvin, the Paranoid Android?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- From the film.- From the remake.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Yeah, that's Marvin the Paranoid Android
0:26:31 > 0:26:32and would have scored you four points.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Now, we've got K9 and we've got R2-D2.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37R2-D2, I would probably say, you'd think,
0:26:37 > 0:26:42maybe the most famous robot or droid in the history of television.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Or is K9? What do you think?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47I'd have thought R2-D2 is fairly universally recognised.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Well, I'll tell you, K9 scored 64.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- OK.- R2-D2...
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Yes.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54..scores 62.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55- No!- 62.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- R2-D2?- Beaten by K9.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00- Can you believe it?- No!
0:27:00 > 0:27:02I don't believe that for a second.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03That's extraordinary.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05- Thank you very much indeed. - Pleasure.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Screen Robots.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08Here comes your second question.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Now, Alex and Claire, you have to win this one to stay in the game,
0:27:11 > 0:27:13but Louis and Marie will get to answer it first.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Our second question concerns...
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Boxing, Richard.- Simply going to show you five clues now
0:27:20 > 0:27:21relating to the sport of boxing.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24You need to give us the most obscure answer that you can.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28We've got...
0:27:52 > 0:27:53I'm going to read those one last time.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18There we are. Louis and Marie go first.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22- Do you know any? - SHE WHISPERS
0:28:22 > 0:28:26- And then...- I know the third one, that's Mike Tyson.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30- Well, what do you think is going to be lower?- Mike Tyson, I'd say.
0:28:32 > 0:28:37I think the boxer who bit off a part of a Evander's ear was Mike Tyson.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Mike Tyson, say Louis and Marie.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40Mike Tyson. Now, Alex and Claire.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42I'm going to leave it to Alex.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Do you want to talk us through the board, Alex?
0:28:44 > 0:28:46The top one's undercard.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49The boxing film is Rocky.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52That's Joe Calzaghe, the bottom one. I think the weight is bantamweight.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54But we're going to go for Joe Calzaghe,
0:28:54 > 0:28:56who won the Sports Personality Of The Year.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00OK, so we have Mike Tyson, we have Joe Calzaghe.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01Louis and Marie went for Mike Tyson.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07It is right.
0:29:10 > 0:29:1156 for Mike Tyson.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18Now, Alex and Claire, you're hoping to come back into the game here with
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Joe Calzaghe. Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:29:20 > 0:29:23let's see how many people said it.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29OK, £7,250 at stake.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30You are back in the game.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31Very well done indeed.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Down it goes to 11.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35Very well done.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Everything you needed to do right there, Alex and Claire.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41After two questions, it is 1-1.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Nice work there, Alex. You're right about undercard
0:29:44 > 0:29:46and it actually would have been a better answer.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Undercard scores eight points.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53The boxer is not bantamweight, it's tough because there's lots of them.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56It's featherweight, this is.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Featherweight would have scored you 20 points.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01And the boxing film, of course, is Rocky.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03That would have scored you 83.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05The recent, kind of when they revamped it, they called it Creed.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07It's a terrific film.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09- He's good.- He's really good. He's great in that.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11But that's a really good film.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14I must see that. Now, here comes the third and final question.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16I say final, maybe we'll go on, and on, and on.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19We shall see. Here comes the third question, usually the decider.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Best of luck to both pairs.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Remember that wonderful jackpot at stake.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Our third question concerns...
0:30:30 > 0:30:32LAUGHTER
0:30:35 > 0:30:37- Richard.- Need I say any more? - Mm-mm-mm!
0:30:37 > 0:30:39We're going to show you five ingredients from that recipe now,
0:30:39 > 0:30:42but we're just going to show you the first letters of each word.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Can you tell us what those ingredients are, please?
0:30:44 > 0:30:47The team with the most obscure answer is going forward
0:30:47 > 0:30:49to play for that £7,250 jackpot,
0:30:49 > 0:30:51so very best of luck.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Very good. OK, so here are our clues to ingredients.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57And we have...
0:31:14 > 0:31:16I'm going to read those again.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30There we are. Alex and Claire will go first.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33I'd... I'd guess turmeric.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- Yeah.- I can't think what L and J is.- No, I can't.
0:31:38 > 0:31:39- Let's go for the top one.- OK.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42We think we know a few, but we're going to go for the top one and say
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- turmeric.- Turmeric?
0:31:45 > 0:31:47OK, turmeric, say Alex and Claire.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- Now, Louis and Marie. - We were also going to say turmeric.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Do you want to talk us through the board? See what else you know.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56We think three tablespoons is lemon juice.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Then, the bottom one, onion.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Can't quite get the other two.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04So shall we go for lemon juice?
0:32:04 > 0:32:06- Lemon juice, we'll go for.- OK, we're going to go for lemon juice.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10So we have turmeric and lemon juice.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Now, Alex and Claire said turmeric.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:32:19 > 0:32:20It's right.
0:32:24 > 0:32:2647 for turmeric.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Louis and Marie have gone for lemon juice.
0:32:31 > 0:32:32Three tablespoons L, J.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36Let's see if that is lemon juice, let's see many people said it.
0:32:38 > 0:32:39It's right.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Oh, look at that. Lemon juice pips it.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45There we go, 25.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Very well done indeed.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Which means, Louis and Marie, after three questions,
0:32:50 > 0:32:52you are through to the final 2-1.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54I'm surprised by that. I'm surprised by the score for turmeric -
0:32:54 > 0:32:57it's big. People obviously know that recipe very well.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01The biggest scorer on the board is two medium tomatoes,
0:33:01 > 0:33:02peeled and very finely chopped,
0:33:02 > 0:33:05that would have scored you 80 points.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- The next biggest scorer, 140g...- Onion.- ..onion.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Onion's 57 points. The best answer on the board, just one point,
0:33:12 > 0:33:13four tablespoons of chopped...
0:33:13 > 0:33:15- Curry leaves?- So close.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19- Coriander leaves.- Coriander leaves! - Yeah, coriander leaves.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20One point. Very well done if you said that.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head around, I'm afraid,
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Alex and Claire. Oh!
0:33:27 > 0:33:30What a merry dance you've led us this episode.
0:33:30 > 0:33:31It's been fantastic.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Right from the first round, amazing.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35You've added to the jackpot, you've been absolutely superb.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38It's been wonderful having you. Alex and Claire, great contestants.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Thank you.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Good luck in the final.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43Best of luck. Well done.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46But, for Louis and Marie, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51Congratulations, Louis and Marie,
0:33:51 > 0:33:53you've seen off all the competition
0:33:53 > 0:33:56and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at...
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Let's just look back over the journey, shall we,
0:34:16 > 0:34:18that we've taken to arrive at this point?
0:34:18 > 0:34:21We started with chemical elements containing Ps and Hs,
0:34:21 > 0:34:25we then had historical figures, then we had screen robots,
0:34:25 > 0:34:29- then we had boxing, and then we finished with a curry, which is nice.- Yeah.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31But here we are in the last round,
0:34:31 > 0:34:33where you get to choose from the four options we put up on the board.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34They can be quite hard.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36They require very specialist knowledge usually.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40What sort of things would you like to see up there?
0:34:40 > 0:34:41- History of art.- OK.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Art.- I think geography, African geography would be a good one.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46OK, very good.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Let us not forget, £7,250 at stake.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51This could be very, very exciting.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Best of luck. Today's choices look like this.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55We've got...
0:34:55 > 0:34:57art...
0:34:59 > 0:35:02That's probably enough, isn't it?
0:35:02 > 0:35:05HE READS WHILE YAWNING
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Yes, well, what would you like to go for?
0:35:10 > 0:35:12- So much pressure.- It's all on you, it's all on you.
0:35:13 > 0:35:14It's going to have to be art.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16I think it is, isn't it?
0:35:16 > 0:35:19I would really be an embarrassment to my degree if I didn't pick this.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20OK. Art.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23In some ways, it's the dream. In some ways, it's the nightmare.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25I'm going to continue that because
0:35:25 > 0:35:27there's stuff here that you should get
0:35:27 > 0:35:30and there's seven and a bit thousand pound up for grabs as well,
0:35:30 > 0:35:31so I wish you the very, very best of luck.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- The pressure is on. - Three very different questions.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37We're looking for the name of anyone who has won
0:35:37 > 0:35:38the Turner Prize since 1984.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42So from 1984 all the way up to the 2015 prize.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46We're looking for any -isms in Tate Gallery's glossary of art terms,
0:35:46 > 0:35:47so anything that ends -ism
0:35:47 > 0:35:50in the Tate Gallery website's glossary of art terms.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54We're looking for any artist of the 41 post-war public sculptures
0:35:54 > 0:35:59which were granted grade two or grade two star listed status in 2016.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Any of the artists behind one of those.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03So any Turner Prize winner,
0:36:03 > 0:36:05any -ism in the Tate Gallery's glossary
0:36:05 > 0:36:08or any artist of a listed post-war piece of public art.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Very, very best of luck.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12As always, you've got up to one minute
0:36:12 > 0:36:14to come up with three answers.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15All you need to win that jackpot
0:36:15 > 0:36:18is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:36:18 > 0:36:21- Yes.- Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23There they are. Your time start now.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25I can only go -isms.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Colonialism...
0:36:27 > 0:36:29- That's an art term.- Impressionism.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31That won't score pointless. There's post-impressionism,
0:36:31 > 0:36:34but that's also probably not going to be pointless.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36A Turner Prize winner - Antony Gormley.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38OK, you can go for that.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- I think.- More -isms?
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- Cubism?- No, that would be too high.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48- Fauvism. - Listed post-war public art...
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Surrealism, that'll be high.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55I don't think Fauvism is even one.
0:36:55 > 0:36:56Think of some Turner Prize winners.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58- I don't know any.- Modern art.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00I only do ancient art.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04I think colonialism will be quite a good one.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06What about Andy Warhol?
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Turner Prize... Turner's British.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15- Ten seconds left.- OK, so...
0:37:15 > 0:37:17You've got your Turner prize, colonialism...
0:37:17 > 0:37:19- Is it Andy Gormley or Antony Gormley?- I don't know.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- I don't even think he won. - Colonialism and...
0:37:22 > 0:37:23So do you have two -isms?
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- Post-impression. - OK, that is your time up now,
0:37:26 > 0:37:28I now need your three answers.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30What are you going to go for?
0:37:30 > 0:37:31Antony Gormley.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Antony Gormley, in which category?
0:37:34 > 0:37:36- Turner Prize winners. - Turner Prize winner.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38And then two in the -isms,
0:37:38 > 0:37:39post-impressionism.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Post-impressionism.
0:37:41 > 0:37:42And colonialism.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44And colonialism.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45Of those three answers,
0:37:45 > 0:37:47which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- I would say colonialism. - Colonialism goes last.
0:37:50 > 0:37:51Least likely to be pointless?
0:37:51 > 0:37:53- Antony Gormley.- Antony Gormley.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Post-impressionism goes into the middle.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57OK, we'll pop them up in the board in that order then.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59And here they are. We have got...
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Very, very best of luck. Your first answer was Antony Gormley.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09In this case, we were looking for Turner Prize winners.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Let's just say one of these is a pointless answer
0:38:13 > 0:38:16and you were to walk off with £7,250,
0:38:16 > 0:38:18what would you do with it, Louis?
0:38:19 > 0:38:22One of my close friends is currently on a year out in Colombia,
0:38:22 > 0:38:25so I would probably like to fly out and see her there,
0:38:25 > 0:38:28maybe do a bit of volunteering work while I'm there.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Very nice indeed. Marie, how about you?
0:38:30 > 0:38:33I am currently planning a backpacking trip around the world,
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- so...- This would be handy. - ..this would really be handy.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Very handy, quite timely.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Well, very, very best of luck.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42As I say, Antony Gormley is the first answer,
0:38:42 > 0:38:44we're looking for Turner Prize winners.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Let's see if it's right, then let's find out if it's pointless.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50If it is, it'll win you £7,250.
0:38:53 > 0:38:54It is right.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Down it goes. If Antony Gormley goes all the way down to zero,
0:38:57 > 0:39:00you leave here immediately with £7,250.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Down it goes through the teens, into single figures.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Still going down, down it goes, still going down!
0:39:05 > 0:39:06One!
0:39:09 > 0:39:11- Wow.- Wow.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Wow. One point for your least confident shot
0:39:19 > 0:39:20at a pointless answer.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Two more shots in store.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Your next answer was post-impressionism,
0:39:24 > 0:39:25post-impressionism.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27In this case, we were looking for -isms
0:39:27 > 0:39:30in the Tate Gallery's glossary of art terms.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32You've gone for post-impressionism.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36If it's right and if it's pointless, it will win you £7,250.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38How many people said post-impressionism?
0:39:40 > 0:39:43It is right. Antony Gormley,
0:39:43 > 0:39:47your first correct answer, took us all the way down to one.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Post-impressionism now taking us down through the teens
0:39:49 > 0:39:50and into single figures,
0:39:50 > 0:39:53still going down, still going down, down it goes.
0:39:53 > 0:39:54One again.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06£7,250 at stake.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10We have come within millimetres of it with our first two answers here.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Your third and final answer,
0:40:12 > 0:40:14everything is now riding on it, colonialism.
0:40:14 > 0:40:15Again, in this case,
0:40:15 > 0:40:17we were looking for terms, -isms,
0:40:17 > 0:40:21in the Tate Gallery's glossary of art terms. Colonialism.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26It has to be right and it has to be pointless for £7,250.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28How many people said colonialism?
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Oh!
0:40:41 > 0:40:45- Oh, Louis and Marie. - It is an art term, but...
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Have a word with the Tate, for heaven's sake.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50I can't believe it. You have come so close
0:40:50 > 0:40:52and I bet you'll have known a million other terms
0:40:52 > 0:40:53in that glossary as well.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56You can probably think of a few of your own right now.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:40:59 > 0:41:02so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £7,250.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05You came so close to it. That will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07But we have really enjoyed having you on.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10You've been brilliant the whole way through, and it's some consolation,
0:41:10 > 0:41:12but you do get to take home a Pointless trophy.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15So there you are. Very well done. It hasn't all been in vain.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23No jackpot, but you didn't let yourself down or your subject down.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27You showed that you knew your stuff, so that's some consolation.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31Post-colonial art they have on the Tate website, but not colonialism,
0:41:31 > 0:41:33I'm afraid. There'll be plenty of terms there that you do know.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36We'll start, though, with Turner Prize winners.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44In fact, everyone apart from Damien Hirst, Grayson Perry,
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Gilbert and George, Wolfgang Tillmans,
0:41:46 > 0:41:47Steve McQueen and Antony Gormley,
0:41:47 > 0:41:50every other Turner Prize winner was a pointless answer,
0:41:50 > 0:41:52so well done if you said any of those.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Now, let's take a look at some of those -isms.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Brutalism, it's more commonly used for architecture.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06I mean, unbelievably, abstract expressionism is a pointless answer.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09- Oh, no. - Luminism is a pointless answer,
0:42:09 > 0:42:11there's Orientalism as a pointless answer,
0:42:11 > 0:42:13there's Stuckism as a pointless answer.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15So all sorts of pointless answers out there, I'm afraid.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Let's take a look at some of those post-war public artists.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28In fact, everyone there apart from Henry Moore,
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Antony Gormley, again, who scored five in that category,
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Barbara Hepworth and Elizabeth Frink,
0:42:33 > 0:42:36every other name on that list was a pointless answer.
0:42:36 > 0:42:37Listen, if you'd had two minutes,
0:42:37 > 0:42:41I know you'd have come up with so many -isms and it's super tough,
0:42:41 > 0:42:44but well done throughout and I'm sorry you're not going away with the money.
0:42:44 > 0:42:45It's been great fun.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Thanks. Well, unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you,
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Louis and Marie, but it's been wonderful having you.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Thank you so much for playing.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55Louis and Marie, very sadly, didn't win our jackpot today.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57That means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:42:57 > 0:42:59when we will be playing for...
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Join us next time, see if someone can win it.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
