0:00:17 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thank you and hello, 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 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players. APPLAUSE
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- And couple number one. - Hi, my name is Rob.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39I'm from Peterborough, and my friend Rupert is from Nottingham.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Couple number two.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hi, my name is Marika and this is my neighbour Irene.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46We're from the Ribble Valley in Lancashire.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48- Couple number three. - Hi, my name's Deborah.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53- This is my daughter Maxine and we're from Muswell Hill. - And finally, couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hello, my name's Tori and this is my boyfriend Duncan and we're from North London.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00And these are today's contestants. APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Thank you very much, all of you. A warm welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show, so that just leaves one more person for me to
0:01:09 > 0:01:13introduce. He's about to headline the O2 and by headline,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15I mean watch Little Mix headline the O2.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- Hiya. Hello, everybody. - APPLAUSE
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- Good afternoon. Good afternoon to you, sir.- Good afternoon.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Now, one of the all-time great Pointless shows last time.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Really was terrific. We've got two pairs who got knocked out in round one and round two,
0:01:31 > 0:01:35the pairs we have here. We've got Tori and Duncan and Deborah and Maxine. Welcome back.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39But we had Chas and Charlie. They started the show with two pointless answers, father and son.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42They got two pointless answers in round one.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Blitzed all through the show and then won £4,500 at the end of it
0:01:45 > 0:01:48as well with a pointless answer right at the last as well.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- They were brilliant. - Very strong indeed.- Super bright.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53So we'll do well to match that, I suspect.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56One of the best pairs we've ever had.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58But I always think it's lovely on this show when we have
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- neighbours on. Don't you think?- Yes.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04We've got Irene and Marika and they're neighbours. With family and stuff like that,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I can understand the conversation that goes on about how you come
0:02:07 > 0:02:10on the show, but with neighbours, I always think that's rather nice.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- Very nice.- They usually do quite badly.- But that's nice too.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- But that's nice too. - Gives them something to laugh about when they get home.- Yes, exactly.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22But I wonder if they're next-door neighbours, what do you think?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26I'm guessing, A, they're next-door neighbours, B, they're going to do really well.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30- Do you think?- I just get that from them.- We've got the new Chas and Charlie on our hands.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- The new Chas and Charlie. - Yeah.- Thanks very much.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Chas and Charlie won the jackpot last time,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38which means we start off today with our jackpot back at £1,000.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44APPLAUSE
0:02:47 > 0:02:50So, just remember this, the pair with the highest score at the
0:02:50 > 0:02:53end of each round will be eliminated. That's it.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57No conferring till we get to the head-to-head, of course. Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Our first category today is...
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- Richard. - On each board, we're going to show you the titles of seven UK
0:03:20 > 0:03:24top 40 singles, all of which have a mode of transport in the title.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27But we've missed out that mode of transport, unfortunately.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29We're going to require you to fill in those gaps and obviously
0:03:29 > 0:03:33the more obscure the answer, the better. 14 in all to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Thank you, Richard. So we're looking for the mode of transport that is missing
0:03:36 > 0:03:40from each of these song titles and here is our first board of seven.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42And we've got...
0:03:59 > 0:04:00I shall read those again.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Rob, a warm welcome, from Peterborough.- That's right, yeah.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25What do you do in Peterborough, Rob?
0:04:25 > 0:04:29I'm a retail manager for a large sports shop.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- Are you based within the shop itself?- I am, yes.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34That's quite nice. Lots of people you get to see day in, day out.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- That's right.- And what are your interests out of the sports shop?
0:04:38 > 0:04:39It's more sport again.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43I'm into bodybuilding, keeping fit and martial arts.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Right, so which of the martial arts,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47or do you have a whole spread of martial arts?
0:04:47 > 0:04:51I've done judo, karate, taekwondo, and then sport, martial arts, kickboxing.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Wow! Does that mean you've got to the top and moved on?
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Got to the top, moved on, British champion, European champion, world champion.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- APPLAUSE Yes!- Not bad!
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- World champion in which discipline? - In kickboxing.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11How incredible!
0:05:11 > 0:05:13That is so interesting you say that because Xander was saying
0:05:13 > 0:05:16just before the show he reckoned he could beat you in a fight.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19I said I don't think you could, but he was very confident.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25So, Rob, now, let's throw ourselves into these song titles.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- What's grabbing you there?- There's a couple that I'm not sure of.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I'll have to take a guess. Not 100%.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32One I am 100%,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35so I think I'm going to go with that one to start off with.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38So I'm going to go with The Beatles and Yellow Submarine.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Yellow Submarine, says Rob.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Yellow Submarine.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50APPLAUSE Well...
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Ironically, for submarine, it didn't go down that far.
0:05:55 > 0:05:5693.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01Yeah, one of their 17 number one singles. A double A side with Eleanor Rigby.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I don't know about you, Xander, I thought that was a very good score.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- I thought it was very good. - I thought it was terrific work.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Thank you very much, Richard.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Marika, welcome to Pointless, good to have you
0:06:12 > 0:06:14here from the Ribble Valley.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Where is the Ribble Valley? - It's near Preston, near Blackburn.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- Wonderful.- Near Whalley, where all the floods were.- Right.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23You're not originally from the Ribble Valley,
0:06:23 > 0:06:28- something tells me that!- No. Near Seattle, in Washington State.- Right.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30And when did you move to the Ribble Valley?
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Well, I moved about a year ago from Washington DC.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39- I see, and what brought that about? - My husband was actually born in the Ribble Valley,
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- so he was getting homesick and wanted to come home. - So it was a homecoming.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47- Yeah.- There you are. You've landed beautifully and comfortably in the Ribble Valley.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Now, what would you like to go for?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52I'd like to go for Chasing Cars, Snow Patrol.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Chasing Cars. OK, let's see how many of our 100 people said Chasing Cars.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02It's right. Well, you've passed 93.
0:07:02 > 0:07:0652 is where you land. APPLAUSE
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Chasing Cars.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Yeah, the single most played song of the 2000s in the UK, Chasing Cars.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Of course, radio, TV, public spaces,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19it's the most played song of anything released.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Thank you very much, Richard. Deborah, welcome back.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Now, last time, we said goodbye at the end of round one.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27That's not going to happen today.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Remind us what you do, Deborah. - I'm an event planner.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Event planner, and I went off last time thinking that was planning
0:07:33 > 0:07:36conferences and things like that, but it's much more fun than that.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39You plan parties and weddings. Did you start doing it for friends?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Well, not really.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I started in the charity sector and I used to organise lots of
0:07:44 > 0:07:46events in the charity sector,
0:07:46 > 0:07:49so I just took those skills and decided to work for myself.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54- Which is so much nicer. A work night for you is a party.- Exactly.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- It's just great! - I know, it's brilliant.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Fantastic.- It's really good.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Now, Deborah, what would you like to go for?
0:08:01 > 0:08:06Well, I know a few, and it's a toss up between a very old one or
0:08:06 > 0:08:09a slightly more recent one, and which is going to be the lowest,
0:08:09 > 0:08:14so I think I'm going to go with Magic Bus by The Who.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Magic Bus, says Deborah.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Let's see how many of our 100 people remember Magic Bus.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24It's right. Well, you've passed 93.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27You pass 52.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Wow! Magic Bus stops there. APPLAUSE
0:08:29 > 0:08:3325.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Yeah, well played, Deborah.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37They've had 25 UK top 40 singles, but no number one.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Thank you very much, Richard.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Now, Tori. Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Round two last time we said goodbye to you. Remind us what you do, Tori.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50I'm a personal assistant for a software company.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52That's right. And your interests, Tori?
0:08:52 > 0:08:57So, I love playing golf with Duncan when we have time.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01And I also love history, so kind of lots of reading and visiting
0:09:01 > 0:09:04kind of National Trust houses and things like that.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- That's fun. Do you read historical novels?- Yes, I do.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09It's a fantastic way into history, isn't it?
0:09:09 > 0:09:13It's kind of historical romance, that's kind of my remit and that's about it.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Very good. OK, now, Tori, this is your board.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19If you want to go through it and fill in all our blanks for us, we'd be extremely grateful.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22So, I'm thinking maybe Train Of Love, I'm not sure,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25for the second one down.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27No idea. I'm not really sure.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31And then I was going to say Big Yellow Taxi as it's kind of
0:09:31 > 0:09:33just common sense would say Big Yellow Taxi.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35But I'm just going to go for Train Of Love.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38I'm just going to have a punt. I have no idea.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41OK, Train Of Love, says Tori. Let's see if that's right,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44let's see how many of our 100 people went with Train Of Love.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50No. I'm afraid not a Train Of Love, Tori.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53That scores you 100 points, but you're in very good company,
0:09:53 > 0:09:55the scores have been quite high at this end.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- So there you are.- Yes, not Train Of Love. It's a beautiful song.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Oh, Caravan Of Love. - Caravan Of Love, yeah.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Every woman, every man, join the caravan of love.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05That would have scored you 41 points.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- You can probably work out the next one.- Ship.- Ship Of Fools.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Sorry, Lift Of Fools.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15That would have scored you 33. It is Big Yellow Taxi, Joni Mitchell.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Big scorer, though - 70 points for that.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20And this bottom answer is the best answer.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- I don't know. - Know that one? It's a pun.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Snow Coach.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Snow Coach, and would have scored you five points, so very well done
0:10:27 > 0:10:28if you said that at home.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Excellent. I haven't heard anyone say slow coach for a long time,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33but maybe that's cos I'm now grown up.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I don't know if that's cos it's fallen out of favour. Who knows?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- Come on, slow coach!- Slow coach, yes! People do still say it.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44Thank you very much indeed, Richard. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:44 > 0:10:4625 the best score of the pass, Deborah. Very well done indeed.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I don't think you will be leaving at the end of round one this time.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Then we travel quite a long way up to 52,
0:10:52 > 0:10:53where we find Marika and Irene.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Then we travel quite a long way up to 93, where we find Rob and Rupert.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00And then it's a short hop and a skip up to 100, where we find Tori and Duncan.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04So, Duncan, you have some near neighbours. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:09 > 0:11:13OK. Seven more song titles going up on the board and here they come.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15We've got...
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Here they come again.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59There we go. Duncan, welcome back.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Now, it was a 200 score that saw you out last time.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Duncan, remind us what you do.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08I'm an account manager at a software company.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11That's right, and what thrills you when not at work?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I like to, when we have time off and stuff, go travelling,
0:12:14 > 0:12:16I'd like to go to Italy this summer, hopefully.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Do you go for a good long stint when you go?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Do you save it all up for one big holiday or do you go for sort
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- of little...?- We tend to do just sort of weekend breaks.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- We did Prague and Budapest and stuff last year.- That's nice.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28So, yeah, just try and get that time off really.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Hopefully do a bit more in the summer.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Very good. Now, what would you like to go for, Duncan?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I've gone a little bit blank, to be honest with you.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38The Bloc Party one I know is going to frustrate me. Erm...
0:12:39 > 0:12:41I'm going to go for Midnight Train to Georgia.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Midnight Train to Georgia, says Duncan.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Let's see how many of our 100 people went for that.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50You're the high scorers, I'm afraid, so there's no red line.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53It's right.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Ooh, that's a high score there. 87.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59APPLAUSE 187 is your total.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02It was written about Lee Majors and Farah Fawcett, that song.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Bionic Man and one of Charlie's Angels.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07It was written by a friend of theirs.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Thank you, Richard.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Now then, Maxine. Welcome back to Pointless. Remind us what you do.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16I'm an HR manager at a fashion company.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Now, when you say fashion company, is it a design company?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21It's a luxury fashion brand.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- A luxury fashion brand.- Yeah.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Are you based within the heart of London's Mayfair?- Yes, yeah.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- That's exciting.- Yeah.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30- Is there a shop attached to it?- No.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32But nearby.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Nearby. I'm not getting it yet. I've used up four questions.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Is it an accessory company?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Yeah, accessories and ready to wear as well.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Very good indeed. Now, what are you making of this board?
0:13:44 > 0:13:47The great news is you can't lose, even if you score 100 points.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49You are through.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53So, the one that I'm most confident
0:13:53 > 0:13:55in is the Bloc Party one.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59- And I think it's Helicopter. - Helicopter, says Maxine.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02No red line for you for the lovely reason that you're already through.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Let's see how many of our 100 people said Helicopter.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15That's a good answer. Look at that, Maxine. Oh! It's down to one!
0:14:15 > 0:14:18APPLAUSE How about that?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20You left at the end of the first round last time,
0:14:20 > 0:14:23this time you are the lowest scorers of the round, 26.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Well played, Maxine. Great answer, great song, great band as well.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29And it got to number 26 in the charts. Which is nice.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33- How about that? Perfect. - Just perfect.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36OK, now, Irene, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- What do you do, Irene? - Well, I'm retired.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Retired university teacher.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- What did you teach?- Biology, but I'm a botanist, largely, by training.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46At the Open University.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49And then I had a sort of second job as a magistrate.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- And are you still sitting as a magistrate?- No, I'm not.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- They retire you at a certain age. - They retire you.- Which I passed.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- Do you miss that?- Not really, no.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- It was good, but I don't miss it.- No.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Irene, how do you find this board?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Well, there's only one I think I'm reasonably certain of. The rest?
0:15:06 > 0:15:09I don't know, I could probably guess one.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12I'm going to say Ferry Cross The Mersey.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14There we are Ferry Cross The Mersey.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Again, you are also through, so there's no red line for you,
0:15:17 > 0:15:19doesn't matter what you score.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Ferry.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Oh, 85!- Another popular one there!
0:15:26 > 0:15:29APPLAUSE But like I say...
0:15:29 > 0:15:3295 takes your total up to 147, but like I say,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34you're already through, so it doesn't matter.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38That's a hefty score, isn't it? It's more than Yellow Submarine.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Mm.- Interestingly.- Very interesting. - Both of course Liverpool bands.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- Beautiful song.- Mm. Thank you very much, Richard. Now then, Rupert.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48We have a game on our hands here.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Rupert, welcome to the show. - Thank you.- Great to have you here.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- What do you do, Rupert? - I'm a nutritionist.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Are you? How long have you been doing that?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59About seven, eight years.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Excellent. What got you into nutrition?
0:16:02 > 0:16:06I'm very sports minded, so I did a diploma in sports science and
0:16:06 > 0:16:08one of the modules was nutrition.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11And through someone in my family with diabetes,
0:16:11 > 0:16:14it changed my perception on sports,
0:16:14 > 0:16:17talking about nutrition and focus more on illness.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20So, what is your big thing then, Rupert?
0:16:20 > 0:16:24What's the gospel according to Rupert, when it comes to nutrition?
0:16:24 > 0:16:25OK, my gospel, erm,
0:16:25 > 0:16:29it's to enjoy what you eat and for 80% of the time,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32if you can follow a balanced diet,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35and 20% of the time if you can let yourself go, then that's fine.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40- Oh, I love that! 80-20.- 80-20. That's Rupert's rule.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Rupert, you've got 93 and your target is 93. You have to score 93 or less.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Essentially, we need a correct answer from you.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49This is your board. If you want to talk us through it, you can.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53OK, I knew Ferry Cross The Mersey, being a football fan, I did know that one.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Down in the... That could be Bus Station. I'm not sure.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01I think it could be Bus Station. My White - no idea.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06Rock The Boat. I think it's Rock The Boat. That would sound good to me.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09And then Funky... Jasper Carrott, no idea.
0:17:09 > 0:17:15- So, I will go for Rock The Boat. - Rock The Boat, says Rupert. OK.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18There's your red line. You just have to get below that red line with Rock The Boat.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Well done. You're through.
0:17:28 > 0:17:3036 is what it scores you. APPLAUSE
0:17:30 > 0:17:34But crucially, it gets you below that red line. 129 is your total.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Very nicely played, Rupert. Did exactly what you needed to do there.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40A wonderful band as well, the Hues Corporation.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- It's not Down In The Bus Station, it's Down In The...- Tube. - Tube Station At Midnight by The Jam.
0:17:44 > 0:17:4725 points for that. Do you know this next one?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Neil from the Young Ones did a cover version of this song.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking. My White Bicycle. - My White Bicycle. Yeah, by Nazareth.
0:17:54 > 0:17:5720 points for that. And Jasper Carrott has a top ten hit
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- this was before he was a huge comic - with Funky Moped.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04And that would have scored you 31 points.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08So Helicopter, Maxine, very much the best answer there. Very well done if you said that at home.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13So we are at the end of our first round and I can't bear it.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Tori and Duncan, it was round two at least last time.
0:18:15 > 0:18:20- This time it's round one.- Yeah, not great.- I'm sorry. High score of 187.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25Anyway, we will send you on your way with our best wishes. Been great having you here.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Thank you very much indeed, Duncan and Tori.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29APPLAUSE
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Right, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36APPLAUSE
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Look at that. Suddenly, we're down to three pairs.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44At the end of this round, we'll say goodbye to another pair.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Best of luck. Our category for round two today is...
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:19:02 > 0:19:08We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:19:08 > 0:19:12..as they could. ATP world number one players.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15We are looking for the name of any male tennis player who
0:19:15 > 0:19:17has been world number one for at least five weeks since the
0:19:17 > 0:19:21rankings began in 1973 through to March 2016, please.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25So any male tennis player who has been number one for five or more weeks.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30OK, thank you very much indeed. Rob, do you follow tennis?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33A little. A little. I've got a few. Got a few good ones.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Exciting having a world champion here, isn't it?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- It's quite good, isn't it? - Feel very safe.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Yeah, certainly, if something kicks off, even I'm hiding behind him.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43- Oh, yeah.- Yeah.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- I don't know about hiding, but standing.- Yeah, maybe not hiding.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Rob, what would you like to go for?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- I'll go for Stefan Edberg. - Stefan Edberg, says Rob.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said Stefan Edberg.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01It's a good answer.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08That's a very good answer. Down to five. Very well done indeed, Rob.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Great start to the round there. APPLAUSE
0:20:10 > 0:20:13That's a great answer, Rob. Very well done.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Tough on that first podium because it's tempting to go for a more
0:20:17 > 0:20:21well known name, but yeah, number one for 72 weeks, Stefan Edberg.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26Thanks very much indeed. Now, Irene. What would you like to go for?
0:20:26 > 0:20:30- I'll say Boris Becker. - Boris Becker, says Irene.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Let's see how many of our 100 people said Boris Becker.
0:20:42 > 0:20:4525 for Boris Becker. APPLAUSE
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Well played. 12 weeks at number one for Boris Becker.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Won six Grand Slam titles. Olympic doubles gold as well.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Fantastic. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Deborah, now, you follow tennis?
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I do follow tennis.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04But I'm thinking I need to find a low one.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I mean, Stefan Edberg was such a good pick.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I'd like to equal that,
0:21:09 > 0:21:14so I'm going to take a bit of a risk because I did actually go to
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Wimbledon and see this player and I'm pretty sure he won that
0:21:18 > 0:21:21year, so I'm hoping he was number one for at least five weeks.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Richard Krajicek.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- Richard Krajicek.- Yes.- OK. Let's see if that's right.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Let's see how many of our 100 people said Richard Krajicek.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Oh, no, Deborah!
0:21:35 > 0:21:40Oh, Deborah, I'm sorry. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer. But for exactly the right reason.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42We applaud your tactics and your thinking.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45I'm afraid it's just an incorrect answer and it scores you 100 points.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Yeah, that's a real shame. You're quite right, he did win Wimbledon.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Never been world number one, though, Richard Krajicek.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53World number four is as high as he went.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Well, the round is not yet over.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Let's just take a little recap of the scores.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Rob and Rupert looking very strong on five there. Lovely low score.
0:22:00 > 0:22:0225 is where we find Irene and Marika.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05And then 100 is where Deborah and Maxine are at the moment.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08However, Maxine, maybe you've got a lovely low scoring answer and
0:22:08 > 0:22:11maybe that will be enough to keep you in the game. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:17 > 0:22:21OK, Maxine. Now, remember, we're looking for male singles tennis players
0:22:21 > 0:22:26who have been world number one for at least five weeks.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31- Tennis is definitely not one of my strong points!- Oh, no!- At all.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36Um, I'm just going to go with any sort of male tennis player
0:22:36 > 0:22:38that I know and just say Tim Henman.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43Tim Henman, says Maxine. OK. No red line for you.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45See how far down the column we go with Tim Henman.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54I'm afraid not, Maxine. That is another incorrect answer.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- Takes your total up to 200. - Unlucky, Maxine. Same as Krajicek. Never world number one.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01In fact, again, world number four was as high as he went.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05He was in the top ten for a long time, Henman. But never number one.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Thanks very much indeed. Now, Marika.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- Yes.- Marika, great news...- Mm. - You're through to the head-to-head.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- However, how is your tennis? - Not great.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18I've been revising a bit, but I can only remember a couple of names...
0:23:18 > 0:23:22- OK.- I'm just hoping that one of the names I remember is a good one.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27Just, you know, so I don't embarrass myself. Um, Rafael Nadal?
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Rafael Nadal, says Marika.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30No red line for you, as you're already through,
0:23:30 > 0:23:33but let's see how many of our 100 people said Rafael Nadal.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37It's right.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43APPLAUSE 33 for Rafael Nadal,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45takes your total up to 58.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Yeah, 141 weeks at number one, Rafael Nadal.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Thanks very much indeed. Now... So, Rupert.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Rupert, again, you're through to the head-to-head.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Doesn't matter what you score at this point.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00However, I bet you've got a good answer.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01I hope so. Erm...
0:24:01 > 0:24:04I do like tennis, so I've got a few.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Roger Federer, I think, was definitely number one.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Going old school, Rod Laver?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Erm, Bjorn Borg, Ivan Lendl.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18But I'm going to go for another American, Jim Courier.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19- Jim Courier.- Yeah.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21No red line for you,
0:24:21 > 0:24:25let's see how far down the column we get with Jim Courier.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35It's another good answer... Down to two.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Very well done indeed, Rupert. That takes your total up to seven.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Very impressive scoring on that first podium.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Nicely played, Rupert.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46And you beat Rob, as well. How about that?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Terrific answer, 58 weeks at number one, Jim Courier spent.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Very, very strong answer.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Now, there's three pointless answers out there.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I know the big tennis fans might have got some of these.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Here are your three pointless answers.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00The Austrian Thomas Muster was a pointless answer,
0:25:00 > 0:25:02he was world number one, despite never winning
0:25:02 > 0:25:04a singles match at Wimbledon in his entire career, Muster.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06He was a clay-court specialist.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Mats Wilander, the Swede, and Juan Carlos Ferrero, the Spaniard,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11all of those were pointless, well done if you said any of them.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15One point for Marcelo Rios, Yevgeny Kafelnikov,
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Gustavo Kuerten and Marat Safin.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Two points alongside Courier, John Newcombe and Andy Roddick.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Rod Laver, he was before the time of the rankings, Laver,
0:25:22 > 0:25:26but all the other answers you gave were absolutely right.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Five points for Lleyton Hewitt, nine for Ilie Nastase,
0:25:28 > 0:25:3016 for Lendl, 19 for Agassi,
0:25:30 > 0:25:3323 for Connors, 26 for Sampras,
0:25:33 > 0:25:3635 for McEnroe and Borg,
0:25:36 > 0:25:3839 for Novak Djokovic,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41and Federer would've scored you 44.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Thanks very much, Richard. So at the end of our second round,
0:25:44 > 0:25:46the pair we're sending home, with their high score of 200,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49it's our other returning pair, Maxine and Deborah.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52I'm so sorry, after that brilliant performance in the first round,
0:25:52 > 0:25:54I thought you were going straight through to the
0:25:54 > 0:25:56head-to-head and beyond, but I'm afraid that wasn't to be.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Great to have you here, thanks so much for playing,
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Maxine and Deborah. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02APPLAUSE
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Right, for the two remaining pairs, it's time for our head-to-head.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06APPLAUSE
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Congratulations, Rob and Rupert, Irene and Marika,
0:26:12 > 0:26:14you are now one step closer to the final
0:26:14 > 0:26:16and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19which currently stands, still, at £1,000.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Well, we've got to the head-to-head round,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24which means you can now confer, which is rather nice.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26First player to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29I think this should be pretty hotly-contested.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34APPLAUSE
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Here is your first question. And it concerns...
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Richard.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49We're going to show you five pictures now of actors portraying historical figures on film.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52We need the name of the historical figure they are playing, please.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- Very best of luck.- OK, let's reveal our five historical figures in film,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57and here they are...
0:27:15 > 0:27:17And...
0:27:21 > 0:27:26There we are, five historical figures portrayed on film.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Now then, Rob and Rupert, you've been our low scorers,
0:27:28 > 0:27:31so you will go first, feel free to confer.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35It's got to be C or B, I don't know which one they are.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- Do you know who they are?- No.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I know A, E and D.
0:27:40 > 0:27:46- Mm-hm.- So which one out of D and E do you think is the lowest?
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- D.- D. OK.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Erm, I'm going to go for D,
0:27:51 > 0:27:55which is Will Smith playing Muhammad Ali, or Cassius Clay.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57OK, Muhammad Ali, say Rob and Rupert.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Now then, Irene and Marika,
0:27:59 > 0:28:02do you want to talk us through the rest of the board? You can do it all out loud.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04So, A is Charlie Chaplin.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Um, I'm not sure of B at all.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Er...
0:28:09 > 0:28:11I feel like I should know C, but I can't think of it.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15We knew D, and E is going to be Marilyn Monroe.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16Marilyn Monroe?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18OK, you're going to say E, Marilyn Monroe.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20So we have Muhammad Ali and Marilyn Monroe.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Rob and Rupert went for Muhammad Ali and D,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28It's right.
0:28:30 > 0:28:3257. APPLAUSE
0:28:35 > 0:28:3657 for Muhammad Ali.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40Meanwhile, Irene and Marika have gone for Marilyn Monroe for E.
0:28:40 > 0:28:41Let's see if that's right,
0:28:41 > 0:28:44let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47It's right.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Ooh, 78 for that.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51APPLAUSE
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Very well done indeed, Rob and Rupert.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55That means after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56Very well played.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59A is of course Charlie Chaplin, Robert Downey Jr there.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Before he was the best paid actor in the world.
0:29:01 > 0:29:0385 points for that.
0:29:04 > 0:29:09Now, B is Amelia Earhart.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Would've scored you four points,
0:29:11 > 0:29:12but two of our 100
0:29:12 > 0:29:14gave a different answer to that.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Do you know what two of our 100 said for that?
0:29:17 > 0:29:18James Hunt.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20LAUGHTER
0:29:20 > 0:29:24- I can see it, actually. - You know, you can kind of...
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Amelia Earhart there and the next one,
0:29:27 > 0:29:30that's John Cusack playing Edgar Allan Poe
0:29:30 > 0:29:32in The Raven.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34And that would've scored you seven points.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35Thank you very much, Richard.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37OK, here comes your second question, Irene and Marika,
0:29:37 > 0:29:39you get to answer this one first,
0:29:39 > 0:29:41but you have to win it to stay in the game, so good luck.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Our second question today is all about...
0:29:46 > 0:29:47Stonehenge, Richard.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Yeah, five clues now to facts about Stonehenge,
0:29:50 > 0:29:52but which is the most obscure? Very best of luck.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56So, yes, let's reveal our five clues. And here they come.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58We have got...
0:30:17 > 0:30:19I am going to read those one last time...
0:30:37 > 0:30:40There we go. Irene and Marika will go first.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43All right, I actually think I know the last one. What do you know?
0:30:43 > 0:30:46- I don't know the last one at all. - I think I know the last one,
0:30:46 > 0:30:47but I don't know if it's any better than yours,
0:30:47 > 0:30:49so what do you think we should do?
0:30:49 > 0:30:53- I should think probably go with yours.- OK, so it's a gamble.- Yeah.
0:30:53 > 0:30:54OK.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57We're going to go for a bit of a gamble,
0:30:57 > 0:31:01the band that performed the song Stonehenge, I think is Spinal Tap?
0:31:01 > 0:31:05Spinal Tap, say Irene and Marika. Spinal Tap.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Now, Rob and Rupert, that board's all yours. Talk us through it.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11So the road that passes within half a kilometre,
0:31:11 > 0:31:12pass that one.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15The county it's situated in, I think I know that one.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Yeah, that's what I'm going to go with, I think, unless you...
0:31:17 > 0:31:19- I don't know the other one.- OK.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Salisbury.
0:31:21 > 0:31:22OK, you're going to say Salisbury.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25OK, so we have Spinal Tap and we have Salisbury.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Now, Irene and Marika have said Spinal Tap for the band
0:31:28 > 0:31:30that sang Stonehenge, let's see if that's right,
0:31:30 > 0:31:32let's see how many people said it.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35Wow.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Well done.
0:31:39 > 0:31:4216 for Spinal Tap. APPLAUSE
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Very well done indeed, that's a great answer.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Rob and Rupert meanwhile are saying Salisbury for the county
0:31:50 > 0:31:53you'd find it in. Let's see if that's right.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Bad luck. I'm afraid not Salisbury,
0:31:58 > 0:32:00which means well done, Irene and Marika,
0:32:00 > 0:32:02you're back in the game, it's 1-1.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03Another good answer.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Yeah, Salisbury not a county, it's a city, I'm afraid.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08It's in the same county, so you're in exactly the right area,
0:32:08 > 0:32:11it's Wiltshire, is the answer, would've scored you 51 points.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- The road, this is such a British... - A303.- The A303.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18I love the fact that 19 people out of 100 know that.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20"Oh, yeah, Stonehenge, A303."
0:32:20 > 0:32:23The decade it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site,
0:32:23 > 0:32:27one of those ones you could maybe guess. The 1980s.
0:32:27 > 0:32:291980s, would've scored you ten points.
0:32:29 > 0:32:34And the name given to the skeleton was The Amesbury Archer.
0:32:34 > 0:32:35The Amesbury Archer.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37And it's a pointless answer, very well done if you said that.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41That's a bit of a comedown from being called the King of Stonehenge.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43- Cos that's a cool name.- Yeah.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46If you were going to be told in, you know, 1,000 years' time,
0:32:46 > 0:32:48you're going to be called the King of Stonehenge,
0:32:48 > 0:32:49you go, OK, that's nice.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52If they said you're going to be called the Amesbury Archer...
0:32:52 > 0:32:55It's better than Bony McBoneface, I guess, isn't it?
0:32:55 > 0:32:57LAUGHTER
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Anyway... OK, here is your third question.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Whoever wins this one goes through to the final
0:33:01 > 0:33:03and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06It concerns...
0:33:08 > 0:33:09Richard.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12We're going to show you now the names of five special occasions
0:33:12 > 0:33:14that occur at the same time each year.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Tell us the name of the month in which they usually occur, please.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- Good luck.- OK, thank you, let's reveal our five special occasions,
0:33:20 > 0:33:23and here they come. We have got...
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Now then, Rob and Rupert will go first.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Halloween, St Patrick's...
0:33:38 > 0:33:39INDISTINCT SPEECH
0:33:39 > 0:33:41I don't know Groundhog Day.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- No. What about Burns? - Burns is, erm, January, isn't it?
0:33:45 > 0:33:48OK, so out of Burns and Bastille, which one...?
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Bastille, erm, isn't that French? Because you've got...
0:33:51 > 0:33:53INDISTINCT SPEECH
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- ..Bastille Day. I think it's July.- OK.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59We think we know a few, but we're going to go for Bastille Day
0:33:59 > 0:34:01and we think that's in the month of July.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04July, say Rob and Rupert, for Bastille Day.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Now, Irene and Marika, do you want to talk us through the board?
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Er, do you want to?
0:34:09 > 0:34:10Some of them.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14- Burns Night, January, St Patrick's Day, I'm not really sure.- March.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19March, OK. Halloween, October. Bastille Day, yeah, July.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21- Groundhog Day...- February.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24We're going to go for Groundhog Day, February.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27February, so, we have July and we have February.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Rob and Rupert went for July, for Bastille Day.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35It's right.
0:34:38 > 0:34:3943, not bad.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41APPLAUSE
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Irene and Marika have gone for Groundhog Day.
0:34:47 > 0:34:48Let's see if that's right.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54It's right.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56I'm guessing that's going to be quite a low score, yes,
0:34:56 > 0:34:58- it passes Bastille...- Well done.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Look at that, 15 for Groundhog Day.
0:35:01 > 0:35:02APPLAUSE
0:35:02 > 0:35:04And that means very well done indeed, Irene and Marika,
0:35:04 > 0:35:07after three questions, you are through to the final 2-1.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Very well played. Yeah, the good news, gents,
0:35:09 > 0:35:12is we're going to use exactly that same question next time, as well.
0:35:12 > 0:35:13GENTLE LAUGHTER
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Very, very well done. Let's fill these in.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Burns Night, you're quite right, is January.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21You were right to avoid it, though. Cos it would've scored 54.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23St Patrick's Day, you are right, is in March.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27- All Americans know Patrick's Day. - Yeah.- 67 points for that.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31And Halloween is in October, I can exclusively reveal.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34And that would've scored you 92 points.
0:35:34 > 0:35:35Thank you very much, Richard.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round
0:35:38 > 0:35:41is Rob and Rupert. The good news is we get to see you again, otherwise you'd have
0:35:41 > 0:35:44gone straight through to the final and that would be it.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46You'll be back for another bite at the Pointless cherry next time.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48We'll look forward to that very much.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50In the meantime, thanks so much, Rob and Rupert.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52- APPLAUSE - Well done.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56But for Irene and Marika, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57APPLAUSE
0:36:00 > 0:36:04Congratulations, Irene and Marika. You are now through to the final.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06You've seen off all the competition
0:36:06 > 0:36:09and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21At the end of today's show the jackpot is standing at £1,000.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Now, very, very best of luck with this round.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26You know what happens, four things go up on the board there.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Our selection looks like this...
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Chemistry.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39- Chemistry.- I knew you were going to say chemistry.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42I knew it. Very, very best of luck. I hope these suit you.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44We're looking for any of the following, please.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46We are looking for any of the synthetic elements
0:36:46 > 0:36:48on the periodic table, please.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50That's any of the transuranium elements,
0:36:50 > 0:36:52the ones after uranium on the periodic table.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54As of March 2016.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58We're looking for any chemistry Nobel Prize winners, 1901 to 1951,
0:36:58 > 0:37:01or we're looking for the country of birth of any winner of the
0:37:01 > 0:37:05Nobel Prize in chemistry from 1901 all the way through to 2015, please.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09So any synthetic element, chemistry Nobel Prize winners,
0:37:09 > 0:37:12or the country of birth of any winner of the Nobel Prize for
0:37:12 > 0:37:15chemistry from 1901 all the way through to 2015, please.
0:37:15 > 0:37:16Very best of luck.
0:37:16 > 0:37:17Thanks, Rich. Now, as always,
0:37:17 > 0:37:20you've got one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers
0:37:22 > 0:37:25to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:25 > 0:37:28- Yes.- Marvellous. Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32OK, so I know a few of the elements.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34- I think of synthetic ones, einsteinium, californium.- Yeah.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38- Do you know any of the others? - Rutherfordium.- Oh, rutherfordium.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Chemistry Nobel Prize winners...
0:37:40 > 0:37:43- I don't...- There's... - INDISTINCT
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- Marie Curie. - Oh, that's too obvious, I think.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47- Probably.- Yeah.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49All those are British.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52THEY CONFER
0:37:52 > 0:37:53Russian. US.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- These are all pretty guessable. - I think they are.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00- I would say we go with the three synthetic.- OK.- Yeah?- Yeah, yeah.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03And so do you want...? Do you know more of them?
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Er...
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- None springs to mind instantly. - OK.- Blank.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11OK, you say yours and I'll say the other two.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- Cos I don't know the others.- OK.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- Are you good?- OK. - OK, you're happy with those?
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- Yes, I think so.- Stop the clock.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- Yeah.- Yeah.- There we are. That's impressive.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23The clock has been stopped. What are your three answers going to be?
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Say which category you're answering, as well.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27We're answering all of them in synthetic elements, because the
0:38:27 > 0:38:30only things we know in the others we think everybody else will know, too.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33So I'm going to say rutherfordium...
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- Rutherfordium.- Um, einsteinium. - Einsteinium.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- And californium.- And californium.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42OK, of those three, do think there's one that stands out as
0:38:42 > 0:38:46- a more obvious pointless contender? - Rutherfordium?- Rutherfordium.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Rutherfordium goes last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:49 > 0:38:52- Einsteinium.- Californium? - Californium.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Einsteinium goes in the middle.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57OK, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order, then.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00And here they are. We've got...
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Very best of luck.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Now if one of these excellent answers wins that jackpot,
0:39:06 > 0:39:09what would you do with it, £1,000 split between you?
0:39:09 > 0:39:13Well, we actually started an animal sanctuary last year, so we were both
0:39:13 > 0:39:17going to donate the money to the animal sanctuary that we've started.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21Very good indeed. OK, well, very best of luck. Three good answers.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24Your first answer was californium.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Obviously it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot,
0:39:27 > 0:39:30so let's find out, for £1,000, how many of 100 people said californium?
0:39:34 > 0:39:36It's right.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Down it goes, through the 60s.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40If this goes all the way down to zero, you will leave here
0:39:40 > 0:39:41with a cheque for £1,000.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Down we go, through the teens, californium, into single figures.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47down it goes, still going down. Three.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49- Oh, well.- OK, OK. - APPLAUSE
0:39:53 > 0:39:54Three.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Sadly not a pointless answer.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59But a nice low score, nonetheless.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Your next answer was einsteinium.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Again, this has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot,
0:40:04 > 0:40:06so for £1,000, how many people said einsteinium?
0:40:10 > 0:40:11Again, it's right.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15Your first answer, californium, took us all the way down to three.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Einsteinium now takes us down through the teens,
0:40:18 > 0:40:21into single figures, still going down, down it goes,
0:40:21 > 0:40:23stops at three again.
0:40:23 > 0:40:24APPLAUSE
0:40:29 > 0:40:33Again, another lovely low score, but not a pointless answer, I'm afraid.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Which means we move to your third and final answer,
0:40:36 > 0:40:38which is rutherfordium.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40You had no hesitation putting this last,
0:40:40 > 0:40:43thinking this was your best shot at a pointless answer. Let's find out.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45For the jackpot to be won, it has to be pointless.
0:40:45 > 0:40:50How many people said rutherfordium? Is it pointless, for £1,000?
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Again, it's right. Every answer has been right.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Californium took us down to three. Einsteinium took us down to three.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Rutherfordium takes us down through the teens.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Once again we're into single figures, down it goes,
0:41:04 > 0:41:06still going down, passes three, to two.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08APPLAUSE
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Oh...
0:41:12 > 0:41:13Wow.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16Three exceptionally low scores there.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19However, I'm afraid none of them were pointless,
0:41:19 > 0:41:22which I'm afraid means you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000,
0:41:22 > 0:41:24that will roll over on to the next show.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28But what a great performance, right the way across.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30You can be so proud of your performance today.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32I'm delighted to send you home with a Pointless trophy
0:41:32 > 0:41:36in recognition of that, so very, very well done, Irene and Marika.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38APPLAUSE
0:41:42 > 0:41:43That is very unlucky.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46There's only six synthetic elements that scored any points at all
0:41:46 > 0:41:47and you managed to hit three of them.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50The only ones that scored points are the ones you said,
0:41:50 > 0:41:52plus plutonium, americium and lawrencium.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54They're the only ones that scored any points at all.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Let's take a look at the pointless answers in these categories.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00We'll start with synthetic elements. Lots of them were pointless answers.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Curium, I know you were talking about Marie Curie,
0:42:02 > 0:42:05mendelevium, nobelium, roentgenium.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08You could've had berkelium, bohrium, copernicium,
0:42:08 > 0:42:12darmstadtium, dubnium, fermium, flerovium, hassium.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Livermorium was a pointless answer.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Meitnerium, neptunium and seaborgium.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18They were all pointless answers.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24Chemistry Nobel Prize winners from 1901 to 1951.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27In fact, every single answer on this list was a pointless answer,
0:42:27 > 0:42:30apart from Marie Curie and Ernest Rutherford.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Everybody else was a pointless answer.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35And the countries of birth, again, lots and lots here.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Egypt, Finland, Lithuania, South Africa.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40You could've had Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia,
0:42:40 > 0:42:44Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Slovenia, South Korea, Turkey and the Ukraine.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49And that's a particularly unfortunate jackpot round.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51I'm so sorry, but it's been so lovely having you here.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Thanks very much, Richard.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55And thanks once again, Irene and Marika,
0:42:55 > 0:42:58who I'm afraid to say didn't win our jackpot today, which means it
0:42:58 > 0:43:02rolls over on to the next show, when we will be playing for £2,000.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04APPLAUSE
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13APPLAUSE
