0:00:15 > 0:00:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:23 > 0:00:25and a very warm welcome to Pointless -
0:00:25 > 0:00:27the game where you are always striving for the lowest score.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Hi, I'm Rupert, I'm from Nottingham,
0:00:36 > 0:00:39and this is my friend Rob from Peterborough.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Couple number two.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Hi, I'm Clare and this is Ailise,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and we're both studying at Exeter University.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Couple number three.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Jordan, this is my girlfriend Amber,
0:00:47 > 0:00:48and we live in Plymouth.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50And finally, couple number four.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Alan. This is my wife Heather, and we live in Lincoln.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Thank you very much, all of you.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01A warm welcome to the show, great to have you here.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02We'll get to chat to each of you, of course,
0:01:02 > 0:01:04throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09As vital as a 2am kebab to a drunkard,
0:01:09 > 0:01:10our very own questionable hunk of meat,
0:01:10 > 0:01:13it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Good afternoon.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Good afternoon to you.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Good afternoon.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Oh, that was a good show.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24I quite like being called a questionable hunk of meat.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- That's quite fun. - I'm here to serve.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Yes, although our kebab days, I think, are behind us now.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30They are, generally, aren't they?
0:01:30 > 0:01:31- Little bit, aren't they? - Ah...
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Perhaps they'll start again in our 50s.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- Yes!- When the kids have left home.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Perhaps we'll be getting drunken kebabs again.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Yeah. I don't miss it.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39You look hungry.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I am starving, but that... I can sort that out.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Lovely show last time.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Rob and Rupert join us again.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46They got all the way through to the head-to-head.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47A terrific performance, as well.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49They played against Irene and Marika.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Let me tell you what happened to Irene and Marika after you left us.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Lovely ladies, both of them. Both very scientifically minded, as well.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58They got a final question on chemistry, which they went for.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01And this is entirely our fault.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04As Pointless over the years, they went for three elements
0:02:04 > 0:02:07that years ago would have been completely obscure.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08- Yes.- They all scored points.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11They got three points, three points and two points.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14I know. Wow, you all say, sadly.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18But, again, we talked before, and I'm not kidding,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20that Nobel Prize for chemistry for the two of us
0:02:20 > 0:02:22cannot be too far away.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- I think it's within our grasp. - Some of the stuff that we've done.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- We've done a lot. - I'm going to nominate you.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Likewise.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31LAUGHTER
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- OK, that's sent. - You misspelt my name there.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- It's fine, it's fine.- That's fine, that's what we all call you.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Right.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Well, now, Irene and Marika, as you'll have gathered,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46which means we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49So today's jackpot starts off rather sweetly at £2,000.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50There we are.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03OK, the rule you have to remember, of course, is this.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05The pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:03:05 > 0:03:08will be eliminated, so make sure your scores are low.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Our first category today is...
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:16 > 0:03:17who's going to go second?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:03:33 > 0:03:34U and N, Richard.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Yes, one of those questions that requires a little bit
0:03:36 > 0:03:37of thinking time.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39We're looking for any country of the world
0:03:39 > 0:03:41whose usual short form name in English
0:03:41 > 0:03:43contains both the letters U and N, please.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45As always, by country we mean a sovereign state
0:03:45 > 0:03:48that is a member of the UN in its own right.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Rupert. Welcome back.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Back on podium one again.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Now, we discovered last time, Rupert, that you are a nutritionist.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Yes.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Just repeat that lovely bit of advice you gave us.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Rupert's advice is 80% following a balanced diet
0:04:04 > 0:04:07and then 20% letting yourself go.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09That's just fabulous.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Now, balanced diet.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13This is.... Just really for my sake, actually.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14Just say what that is.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19A balanced diet - plenty of fruit and veg, a lot of water,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22and reducing foods which are high in fats, salts and sugars.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23OK. Very good indeed.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Pretty simple.- Pretty simple.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Yep.- Now, Rupert, what would you like to go for?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33I'm going to go for Uganda.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Uganda, says Rupert.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Let's see how many of our 100 people said Uganda.
0:04:44 > 0:04:4662 for Uganda.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Not bad. Gets us off to a good start.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Yeah, the U very much up front there in Uganda.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Yeah.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Thank you very much, Richard.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Ailise, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here from Exeter.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- Yes. - And what are you studying at Exeter?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I'm studying medicine, and so is Clare.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Oh, so two medics. What year are you in?
0:05:07 > 0:05:08We're both in our third year.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Do you know yet what you want to do?
0:05:11 > 0:05:12I'm not entirely sure.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16I think I might quite like to go into general practice,
0:05:16 > 0:05:17but keeping my options open.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19That's what we need. Need plenty of you.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Fantastic. What do you like doing
0:05:21 > 0:05:24when you're not working hard at your medic stuff?
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Going out on the South Devon coast quite a lot.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30I thought it was going out on the town, I thought,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- on the lash.- No.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34On the south... Exactly.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Quite right. Beautiful, beautiful coastline there.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Fantastic. Now, what are you going to go for?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Countries with a U and an N their name.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I think I'm going to go for...
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- ..Honduras. - Honduras, says Ailise.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Let's see if that's right,
0:05:50 > 0:05:53let's see how many of our 100 people said Honduras.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57It's right.
0:05:57 > 0:05:5862 is our only score at this point
0:05:58 > 0:06:00and you passed that quite comfortably.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Honduras now takes us way down.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Look at that.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Oh, it's not just way down, it's right to the bottom.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08APPLAUSE Very well done indeed,
0:06:08 > 0:06:09that's a pointless answer.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12That adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:06:12 > 0:06:14takes the total up to £2,250.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18It scores you nothing and earns you considerable kudos.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Fabulous work, Ailise. Very well played.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- The U and the N hidden away slightly more in Honduras.- Aren't they?
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Bringing great credit on that wonderful University of Exeter.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Yes. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Jordan, a warm welcome to Pointless to you.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Jordan, what keeps you busy down in Plymouth?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- I'm a youth worker. - What sort of things do you do?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41What things do you like getting up to with your youth?
0:06:41 > 0:06:46With my youth. I try to get them kind of into activities.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Normally the ones I work with,
0:06:48 > 0:06:50they kind of get into a little bit of trouble at school
0:06:50 > 0:06:51or other things,
0:06:51 > 0:06:54so I try and bring them back onto the positive side, let's say.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56OK, so teamwork, things like that.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Yes, I take them to go and play football, boxing,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02anything they want to do, I try to get them into doing activities.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Excellent. Good for you, Jordan.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Now, how are you feeling about our countries round?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10I think I'm going to say Suriname.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Suriname.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13That was one I had at the back of my mind.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Suriname. Let's see. Now, there we are, there's a case in point.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18That, once upon a time...
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Maybe it still is, but once upon a time,
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- that was an unheard-of country. - Suriname.- Yes.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Let's see if it is still a low scorer.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28How many of our 100 people said Suriname?
0:07:31 > 0:07:3462's the high score. We passed that.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Pointless is our low score.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Look at that, 3 for Suriname.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43- 3.- Very well played, Jordan.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Jordan, of course, the only person playing today
0:07:46 > 0:07:47whose name is also a country.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- Yes.- That wouldn't count. - Luckily not.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53If someone here was called Uganda...
0:07:54 > 0:07:59- A, great name. - I might change my name. I might...
0:07:59 > 0:08:01When you write to the Nobel committee to nominate me
0:08:01 > 0:08:04for the Nobel Prize, would you call me Honduras Osman?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Yes.- Excellent.- I will. Thank you very much indeed.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Now, Heather, a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Hello.- Lovely to have you here. What do you do, Heather?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15I work in care of the elderly.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17How long have you been doing that?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20On and off for about the last 15 years.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Right you are, and what are your hobbies, Heather?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25I like knitting, I'm a big knitter.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28What sort of scale of knitwear are we talking about? Or knit thing?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Anything, really.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I've just knitted my daughter and her now husband
0:08:32 > 0:08:36little miniature replicas of them in their wedding gear.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39That is lovely. We've had miniature replicas of us knitted.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41We have. I've still got them at home.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Yes. I've still got mine, yes.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Now, Heather, what would you like to go for?
0:08:47 > 0:08:52I think I'm going to go for Burkina Faso.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Burkina Faso, says Heather.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55Let's see if that's right.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Burkina Faso.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Look at that. 3.
0:09:11 > 0:09:133 for Burkina Faso.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Its name means "The land of honest men", Burkina Faso.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19It's about the same size as the UK,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22but their population's four times smaller.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24What about that? Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26OK, well, we're halfway through the round.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Well, the best score, Ailise, is yours. Very well done indeed.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Honduras, fantastic answer there, and a good name.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Then we travel up to 3, where we find Heather and Alan,
0:09:36 > 0:09:37and where we find Jordan and Amber.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40And then 62 is where we find Rupert and Rob,
0:09:40 > 0:09:42our only returning pair.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47Rob, there's quite a burden on your shoulders, I'm just going to say.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51If anyone's shoulders can take it, though, I think yours probably can.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53So, yes, we need a low score from you when we get back to you.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Very best of luck with that. We're going to come back down the line.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:00 > 0:10:06So, Alan. Remember, it's countries containing the letters U and N
0:10:06 > 0:10:09that we're looking for. Alan, welcome here. What do you do?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Well, I also work in care of the elderly,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14but I'm a maintenance worker in a big care home.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Right, I see. And what do you do for fun?
0:10:16 > 0:10:17What are your interests?
0:10:17 > 0:10:21I like reading, you know, watch a bit of telly.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Shamingly, I go and watch Luton Town every now and again,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27and we particularly love stand-up comedy,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29both on the telly and going to live events.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Excellent. Now, Alan, there you are. Your are on 3.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Thanks to Rupert's surprisingly high score there, 58 or less,
0:10:36 > 0:10:39even before anyone else has given their second answer
0:10:39 > 0:10:42will keep you in the game. So, what would you like to go for?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Again, got a few in my head, but I think I'm going to go for Guyana.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Guyana. Oh, Amber's not pleased with that.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50It's not because that was her answer,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52she just doesn't like Guyana.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Alan, Guyana. There is your red line.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58If you get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Let's see how many of our 100 people said Guyana.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Very well done indeed.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09You are through.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12And down it continues to go to nothing.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13Very well done indeed.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Alan, that adds another £250 to today's jackpot,
0:11:18 > 0:11:20takes the total up to £2,500.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25It scores you nothing, it leaves your total at 3, and well done,
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Amber, because I know that would have been yours, as well.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Terrific answer, Alan, well done.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31The only English-speaking country in South America, Guyana.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Funnily enough, Suriname used to be called Dutch Guyana,
0:11:34 > 0:11:35so still would have been an acceptable answer.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Thank you. Now, Amber.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Oh, no.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43The heartache of watching your answer being stolen
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- at the last minute. - And it was so good.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48And then be rendered up and scoring nothing.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52However, where one great answer is, another is sure to be in its place.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Amber, what do you do?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I'm a final year psychology student.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Very good. So, what do you do with that afterwards? What happens next?
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Well, I would really like to work with young people, also,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08as a rehabilitation officer,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11so in a prison or a youth offenders institute.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- Very good indeed. Well, best of luck with that, that's great.- Thank you.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Now, there you are on 3.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Again, our high scorers are still Rob and Rupert on 62.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22So 58 or less get you through.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I'm going to go with South Sudan.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26South Sudan, says Amber.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28South Sudan. Here is your red line.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Get below this red line with South Sudan,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33you're through to the next round. How many people said that?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38It's right.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40You're through.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Down it goes to two. That's a great answer, Amber.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Takes your total up to 5, very well done.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Terrific scoring, everyone. This is great stuff.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Yeah, one of the newest countries in the world, since 2011,
0:12:55 > 0:12:57South Sudan has been a country.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Clare. Welcome.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Also a medic.- Yes.- At Exeter. Also in your third year.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Do you know what you're going to go and do afterwards?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Have you worked out what it is?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I don't have as much of an idea as Ailise does.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13You've got time. You've got time on your hands.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15What else have you been getting up to at Exeter while you're there?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17I joined the touch rugby club last year,
0:13:17 > 0:13:21and it's now one of the biggest clubs in the UK, so...
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- The Exeter touch rugby club? - Yes.- Why is that?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Because it's just a new sport in the UK now,
0:13:26 > 0:13:29so it's only really starting to come about.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31So everyone loves it because it's not quite so scary.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33It's not as bad as contact rugby.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Yes, I bet. Now, Clare, what about that, Ailise scoring nothing?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- Yeah.- Pretty fantastic. What would you like to go for?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I'm going to go for Burundi.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Burundi, says Clare.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Burundi, another great answer. Here is your red line.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Below that, you're into Round Two. How many people said Burundi?
0:13:54 > 0:13:55It's right.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Very well done, you're through.
0:14:01 > 0:14:029 for Burundi.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Take your total up to 9.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Yes, small landlocked country in Africa.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Gained independence from Belgium in 1962.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Thank you very much, Richard.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Rob, we come to you.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Listen, I have such terrible news for you. I'm so sorry.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Even before you give your answer, you're the high scorers.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Anyway, we discovered last time that Rob is British champion,
0:14:26 > 0:14:30European champion and world champion now in martial arts.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32This is a mixed martial arts thing, is it?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34No, it's sport martial arts, so kick boxing.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Sports martial arts. I see, that's what you call it.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38So, where did you do the World Championships?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Where did that happen?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Last year, the world Championships was in Norwich.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- So I didn't have to travel too far. - OK.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Qualified for it and got onto the British team.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Do you feel like now you can sort of relax?
0:14:49 > 0:14:50You don't have to worry about it any more?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53You're not going to pursue it for the next decade or so?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I might try something else if I can get good at it.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Oh. The clarinet, Rob.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- I can play the saxophone.- You see? There we are. Go double reed.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Now, you're on 62. I'm afraid, whatever you score,
0:15:04 > 0:15:06you are leaving as at the end of this round,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08but what about finishing with a nice pointless answer?
0:15:08 > 0:15:10OK.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14So, we're going home, so I can take a wild stab in the dark
0:15:14 > 0:15:16and I'll say Equatorial Guinea.
0:15:16 > 0:15:17Equatorial Guinea.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Now, that was my answer.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Not that I get to give one, but that's the one I had up my sleeve.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24Equatorial Guinea.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Let's see how far down the column we get with Equatorial Guinea.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32It's right.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Look at that, it's a pointless answer, Rob.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42What an end to the round. What an end to your Pointless career.
0:15:42 > 0:15:48That adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £2,750.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51It scores you nothing, it adds nothing to your total,
0:15:51 > 0:15:52and it takes nothing away
0:15:52 > 0:15:54from the fact you have a high score, I'm afraid.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57But what a great way to see the round off, that's fantastic.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Equatorial Guinea.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Played like the champion you are, Rob. Very well done.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04There's three pointless answers, so congratulations, everybody,
0:16:04 > 0:16:08but there's some more up here. Let's take a look at them.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Antigua and Barbuda.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Democratic Republic of the Congo -
0:16:11 > 0:16:13it's got almost all the letters in, that has.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Dominican Republic.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18There's Equatorial Guinea, Guyana and Honduras,
0:16:18 > 0:16:21all on the same page, that's nice. Well done, everybody.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Couple more.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Lithuania and Saint Lucia.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Now, the top three make very interesting reading,
0:16:28 > 0:16:29especially for Rupert.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Third is Hungary,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34which would have scored you 21 points.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Second is the United States, which would have scored you 38.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Uganda is miles ahead on 62.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43Thank you very much indeed.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45We are at the end of our first round,
0:16:45 > 0:16:48which means we have to say goodbye to one of our pairs.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I'm so sorry, the pair we have to say goodbye to, Rob and Rupert.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Rob, what a selfless act that was.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57You left something there, a legacy for future Pointless generations,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59and I'm sorry that we say goodbye to you at this stage.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01It's been great having you on both shows.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Thank you so much, Rob and Rupert, superb.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16And then suddenly we're down to three pairs.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Obviously, at the end of this round,
0:17:18 > 0:17:20we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23But welcome all of you to Round Two, best of luck.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Our category for Round Two today is...
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going to go first,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32who's going to go second?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40OK, and the question concerns...
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- Richard.- Yeah, I'm going to show you some pairs of clues now to people.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52The surname of one is the first name of the other.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54One is a scientist, one is a famous person.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56It's going to be six on the first board, six on the second.
0:17:56 > 0:17:5812 in all to have a go at at home.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Thank you, Richard.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Now, then, let's reveal our board of clues.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06So here is our first board of six, and we have got...
0:18:42 > 0:18:44I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16There we are. Clare, how much fun is this?
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- Great fun.- It's great fun.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21I don't know any of them.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Honestly, all lost on me.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I'll just have to guess maybe for the first one, Francis?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Lee Francis Bacon.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Lee Francis Bacon, says Clare.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43It absolutely is Lee Francis Bacon.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Exactly right.
0:19:46 > 0:19:4830. You knew all along.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50There we are, 30. Very well done indeed.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Yeah, absolutely. No need to panic with these ones.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57You know Lee Francis, and so you know the answer.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59There's loads of ones like that up there.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Thank you very much, Richard.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Amber. That's the only one I know.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07- Oh, no.- And not from Lee Francis, but from Francis Bacon.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Oh, hasten to add, yes.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12OK.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13I'm going to go for the third one.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Yeah.- And say Johnson.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18William Johnson Keitel says Amber.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Let's see if that's right,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30If you don't know them, you don't know them.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31But anyway, there you are.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34It may well not be the last high score of this round.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35It's incorrect, scores you 100 points.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Yeah, I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the pass.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Thanks very much, Richard.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Now, Heather, this board's all yours.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Do you feel like filling in all those common names?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Not really, no!
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I know three of them up there, one that's already gone.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54Alex James Watson, the fourth one down.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57But I am going to go for Craig Charles Babbage,
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- the bottom one.- OK. Craig Charles Babbage says Heather.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:21:11 > 0:21:1237.
0:21:14 > 0:21:1637, not bad.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Yeah, Craig Charles and Charles Babbage.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Actually, you would have been better off
0:21:20 > 0:21:21going for Alex James and James Watson.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24It's a much better score, it would have scored you 13 points.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26I would have thought they taught that to medics, James Watson.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29I would have thought. I certainly thought they would have taught you
0:21:29 > 0:21:32William Harvey. William Harvey and Harvey Keitel.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36It's quite a big scorer, that one would have scored you 45.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Ronald Ross and Ross Barkley...
0:21:40 > 0:21:42..would have scored you 16.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44And the best answer on the board is Edgar...
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- Mitchell. - Edgar Mitchell and Mitchell Johnson.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49That would have scored you 4 points.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Very well done if you said that at home.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55We're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at those scores.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Clare and Ailise looking very strong at this point
0:21:57 > 0:21:59with their nice low score of 30.
0:21:59 > 0:22:0137 is where we find Heather and Alan,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04and then 100 is where we find Amber and Jordan.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06So, Jordan, who knows what's going to happen in the next pass,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08but we need a low score from you whatever happens.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Best of luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:16 > 0:22:20OK, let's put six more clues up on the board of six more shared names.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56I'll read those all again.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33There we are. Alan, over to you.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36You're our second lowest scorer, or second highest scorer,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38whichever way you want to look at it. 62 is your target.
0:23:38 > 0:23:4062 or less gets you in.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43There's three I know for definite,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45and there's one I think I know,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47but I'm really not brave enough to go for it.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51So I'm going to go for Humphry Davy Jones, the fourth one.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53OK, Humphry Davy, Davy Jones,
0:23:53 > 0:23:57let's see how many of our 100 people said that. There's your red line.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Very well done, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:24:03 > 0:24:0650 is what that scores you, 87 is your total.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10There is a theory, it's only a theory,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13that the name Geordie comes from the fact that everywhere in the country,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15miners used a Humphry Davy lamp,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18apart from in the north-east where they used George Stephenson lamp.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20There's a theory that that's where Geordie comes from.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21There we are, thank you, Richard.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Now then, Jordan.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28You know what we require from you.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31A super low score.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36I think I know a few of them. I'm feeling the pressure of the 100.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43I'm going to try Blaise Pascal Cygan.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Blaise Pascal Cygan.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50Let's see how many of our 100 people went with Blaise Pascal Cygan.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54It's right.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59It's a good answer, Jordan.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01It's a very good answer. Look at that, down to 8.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Very well done indeed.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07108 is your total.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Well played. Yeah, amongst his many abilities,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Blaise Pascal was the first person
0:25:11 > 0:25:14to launch a bus service in Paris in 1662.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Horse-drawn carriages along predetermined routes.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- It's just brilliant.- Pascal Cygan, perfectly decent footballer.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- Perfectly solid.- There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Now, Ailise, Ailise.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32We had a pointless answer from you in the first round.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Are we going to get another lovely low score from you
0:25:34 > 0:25:36in this round, I wonder. That board is all yours,
0:25:36 > 0:25:40if you wanted to talk us through it and fill in any blanks.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45I think the bottom one is Charles Darwin,
0:25:45 > 0:25:50and I think the top one is referring to Rosalind Franklin.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53So I'm going to go with Rosalind Franklin
0:25:53 > 0:25:55and Franklin D Roosevelt.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Rosalind Franklin, Franklin D Roosevelt.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58Here's your red line.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Get below this, you are through to the next round.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01How many people said it?
0:26:05 > 0:26:09It's right, and you are into the head-to-head, that's the main thing.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11But down it goes to 36.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Very good, 66 is your total.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16The lowest total of the round.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Very well done indeed.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Well played, Ailise, and of the ones you gave us,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21actually by one point you chose the right one,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24because of course you're right about Charles Darwin and Darwin Deez,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27and that would have scored you 37 points.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Now, Sarah and Fleming...
0:26:28 > 0:26:29- Alexander.- Alexander.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Of course, Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin.
0:26:32 > 0:26:3339 points for that.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Now this one, Higgs one day will be as famous as Darwin,
0:26:37 > 0:26:39but he's not yet because he's a pointless answer.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41And if you just ask people, what's his first name?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43I think lots of people would have got it.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45- Peter Higgs.- Yeah. Samuel Peter, Peter Higgs.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Very well done if you got that.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Excellent. Thank you very much indeed.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51So at the end of our second round, the pair we have to say goodbye to
0:26:51 > 0:26:53with their high score of 108, Jordan and Amber, I'm afraid it is you.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55But we'll see you again next time,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- when I'm sure you'll go much, much further.- Thank you.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00But in the meantime, thanks very much indeed. Jordan and Amber.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Well, congratulations, Clare and Ailise, Alan and Heather.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16You are now one step closer to the final,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18and the chance to play for our jackpot,
0:27:18 > 0:27:19which currently stands at...
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Well, we have arrived at the head-to-head,
0:27:26 > 0:27:29which is wonderful news, cos it means you can now confer
0:27:29 > 0:27:30before you give your answers.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46OK, here's your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Goal celebrations, Richard.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52Going to show you five pictures now
0:27:52 > 0:27:54of memorable goal celebrations in football.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56We need you to identify the most obscure person
0:27:56 > 0:27:57you're about to see, please.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58Thanks very much indeed.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02Let's reveal our five goal celebrations, and here they come.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03We've got...
0:28:28 > 0:28:30There we are, five goal celebrations.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Clare and Ailise, you are our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38OK, we don't really know many of them, maybe only two.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41So we're going to go for D, Gareth Bale.
0:28:41 > 0:28:46OK, you're going to say D, Gareth Bale.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49OK. Now then, Alan and Heather.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Right, well, Heather doesn't really do football.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Obviously, being a Luton fan, neither do I.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57LAUGHTER
0:28:57 > 0:28:59But A is Shearer.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00I should know who B is, but I can't think.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02I think C is Danny Welbeck...
0:29:03 > 0:29:07..and E is Peter Crouch.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Going to go for C, Danny Welbeck.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Danny Welbeck say Alan and Heather.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14So we have Gareth Bale and we have Danny Welbeck.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Clare and Ailise have gone for Gareth Bale for D.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24It's right.
0:29:29 > 0:29:3127 for Gareth Bale, not bad at all.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Now, Alan, you've just had a moment there, haven't you?
0:29:37 > 0:29:40No, I think I've got that wrong, but I've just realised.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42OK, well, let's find out.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46You've gone for Danny Welbeck, let's see if that's right.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51No, I'm afraid not Danny Welbeck.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Well done, though, Clare and Ailise.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55It means after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Yeah, as you just worked out, Alan,
0:29:57 > 0:29:58Daniel Sturridge, not Danny Welbeck.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Would have scored you 17 points as well, would have won you the point.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05A is Shearer, as you said.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07He would have scored 65.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09We'll leave B for the moment cos it's the best answer.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11E is Peter Crouch doing the robot,
0:30:11 > 0:30:13and that would have scored you 50.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Now, B is a Sunderland player,
0:30:16 > 0:30:17he's an Italian. He does this.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18There's an Italian expression,
0:30:18 > 0:30:20which is a knife between the teeth.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Someone wants something so much they have a knife between their teeth.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26So that's his celebration, and it's Fabio Borini.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28And would have scored you 4 points.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31Well, here comes your second question.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Now, Alan and Heather, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37But you do get to answer it first, so best of luck.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39It concerns, this second question of ours...
0:30:41 > 0:30:42Animal Products, Richard.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45We're going to give you descriptions now of five products
0:30:45 > 0:30:46that come from animals
0:30:46 > 0:30:48and also the first and last letter of the answer as well.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Can you give us the most obscure answer, please?
0:30:50 > 0:30:51OK, thanks very much.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Let's reveal our five animal products and here they come.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21I'll read those all again.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Alan and Heather will go first.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Right, well, we think we know all those.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50But then again, I thought I knew most of the last lot!
0:31:50 > 0:31:54We're going to go for the third one down, which, we think, is ambergris.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59Ambergris. Ambergris, say Alan and Heather.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Now then, Clare and Ailise, do you want to go through the board for us?
0:32:04 > 0:32:09So we think we know beeswax and also gelatin,
0:32:09 > 0:32:11and we're going to go for gelatin
0:32:11 > 0:32:14for the common confectionery ingredient.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16OK, gelatin, say Clare and Ailise.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18So we have Alan and Heather with ambergris.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25It is ambergris.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Very good indeed, 15 for ambergris.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41Now, Clare and Ailise have gone for gelatin.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said gelatin.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48It's right.
0:32:51 > 0:32:52There we are, 45 for gelatin.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55Well done, Alan and Heather.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Just what we needed from you, you're back in the game.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01It's interesting Alan and Heather's answer,
0:33:01 > 0:33:03cos it's one of those words that we mispronounce.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06It's actually amberGRIS. But we assume it's amberGREE
0:33:06 > 0:33:08cos that's our French have taught us that's what it should be.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11AmberGRIS is how you pronounce that.
0:33:11 > 0:33:12The top one is...
0:33:12 > 0:33:13- Eiderdown.- Eiderdown.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16That would have scored you 60.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Beeswax is a big scorer.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21Would have scored 83.
0:33:21 > 0:33:22- And the bottom one...- Cochineal.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Cochineal, yeah. And that would have scored you 39.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27So ambergris is the best answer on the board.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Thank you very much indeed.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31OK, it comes down to the third question.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32Whoever wins this one goes through to the final
0:33:32 > 0:33:35and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Our third question is all about...
0:33:39 > 0:33:41- Richard.- Five clues now to facts
0:33:41 > 0:33:44relating to the Welsh capital city Cardiff.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Whichever team gives us the most obscure answer
0:33:46 > 0:33:48is going through to play for that jackpot. Good luck.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they come. We've got...
0:34:16 > 0:34:19I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Now, Clare and Ailise, you will go first.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47OK, the ones I know, this is really bad cos I'm from Wales...
0:34:47 > 0:34:48LAUGHTER
0:34:48 > 0:34:51The ones I know are going to be the ones that everyone knows.
0:34:51 > 0:34:56So I think I'm just going to go for the Millennium Stadium.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58- The Millennium Stadium. - For the second one down...
0:34:58 > 0:35:01..Say Clare and Ailise, the Millennium Stadium.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Now then, Alan and Heather, do you fancy talking us through that board?
0:35:03 > 0:35:07Right, top one must be Roald Dahl.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Officially recognised, I don't know.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12I'd maybe guess at the '60s for that.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Shirley Bassey is Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17But the one we're going for, I think, is the bottom one.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19- Yeah.- And that's Glamorgan.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Glamorgan, say Alan and Heather.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24So we have the Millennium Stadium and we have Glamorgan.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Clare and Ailise went for the Millennium Stadium.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32It's right.
0:35:36 > 0:35:3747.
0:35:40 > 0:35:4247 for the Millennium Stadium.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Now, Alan and Heather have gone for Glamorgan Cricket Club.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Let's see if that's right for the Swalec Stadium.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54It's right.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Now 47 is what it has to beat.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57And it does.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01There we are, 20 for Glamorgan,
0:36:01 > 0:36:02very well done indeed.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04And it means, Alan and Heather,
0:36:04 > 0:36:07after three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:36:07 > 0:36:08Yes, very strong performance.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Only one answer up there that would have beaten it,
0:36:10 > 0:36:12and that's the decade, as you would imagine.
0:36:12 > 0:36:17Because Roald Dahl would have scored you 61 points,
0:36:17 > 0:36:20and Shirley Bassey would have scored you even more.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22She would have scored you 77.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26But the decade was the '50s.
0:36:26 > 0:36:291955. And it would have scored you 4 points.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31- Very well done if you said that at home.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Now, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:36:34 > 0:36:36I'm sorry to say, Clare and Ailise, it is you.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38You've been brilliant the whole way through the show, though.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Very, very good. Strong first round,
0:36:41 > 0:36:43strong low score in the second round. I mean, fantastic.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46It's great news for us, it means we get to see you again next time.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Otherwise, it would all have been over in just one appearance,
0:36:49 > 0:36:54and we look forward to that. Thanks very much, Clare and Ailise.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57But for Alan and Heather it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Congratulations, Alan and Heather.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04You've seen off all the competition
0:37:04 > 0:37:07and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:37:15 > 0:37:18and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at...
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Well, very well done. I mean, what a great performance.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29As always, you get to choose your category in this last round
0:37:29 > 0:37:31from the four we put up on the board.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33We've just got to hope there's something up there
0:37:33 > 0:37:37that you like the look of. Today's selection looks like this...
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Hmm.- Don't know much about fashion, do we?
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- As our daughter would say. - Just look at us.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54It's going to have to be Dickens.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Yeah, it will have to be Charles Dickens.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Yeah, it's going to be Charles Dickens.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- OK, Charles Dickens it is. Richard. - OK, very, very best of luck.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Here are your three different categories.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06We are looking for anyone credited with appearing
0:38:06 > 0:38:10in David Lean's 1948 film Oliver Twist, according to IMDb.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12We are looking for any named character
0:38:12 > 0:38:16who appeared in three or more episodes of BBC's Dickensian.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17So three or more episodes.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18Or any work by Charles Dickens
0:38:18 > 0:38:21that appears on the Project Gutenberg website
0:38:21 > 0:38:22as of April 2016, please.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25That's his novels, novellas, any anthologies or periodicals
0:38:25 > 0:38:26that just contain his work.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28So lots of things on that list.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29So the cast of Oliver Twist,
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Dickensian characters in three or more episodes,
0:38:32 > 0:38:34or any work by Charles Dickens
0:38:34 > 0:38:37on the Project Gutenberg website, please.
0:38:37 > 0:38:38- Very best of luck.- Thanks very much.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:38:40 > 0:38:41to come up with three answers,
0:38:41 > 0:38:43and all you need to win that jackpot
0:38:43 > 0:38:46is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:38:46 > 0:38:48- Yes.- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50There they are. Your time starts now.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- It's got to be Dickensian...- It's got to be Dickensian, hasn't it?
0:38:53 > 0:38:57Who was the tall, thin one that hung around with...what's her face?
0:38:57 > 0:38:59I know who you mean, but I can't remember her name.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01That doesn't help, does it, really?
0:39:01 > 0:39:04- There's Honoria... Is it Bartelby?- No.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- Is it? No.- Is it Bartleby?
0:39:07 > 0:39:08No.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10- No, I can't remember. - I can't remember her name.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12There's the varying Cratchits, isn't there?
0:39:12 > 0:39:15So there's Peter Cratchit, isn't there? There's Martha Cratchit.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18That's going to be a big scorer.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21There's Fagan, there's Bill Sikes, there's Nancy,
0:39:21 > 0:39:23there's Inspector Bucket.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Who was the Omid Djalili one?
0:39:25 > 0:39:27- Mr Venus.- Yeah.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Mr Venus.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31- Who else was in it?- I don't know.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Mrs Gamp, isn't there?
0:39:33 > 0:39:36What was the name of the bloke with the peg leg?
0:39:36 > 0:39:37The inn keeper?
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Probably Peg Leg something, wasn't it?
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Ten seconds left.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Peter Cratchit, Martha Cratchit and Mr Venus.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Yeah, Mr Venus, yeah.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48- Yeah?- Yeah. - I can't think of anybody else.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50- My brain's gone.- My brain's gone a little bit as well.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51OK, that's your time up.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Sounds like you've arrived at three answers, though.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55- Yes, we have. - Let's hear what they are.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57- They're all out of Dickensian. - Very good.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00- And we're going to go for Peter Cratchit.- Peter Cratchit.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02- Martha Cratchit. - Martha Cratchit.- And Mr Venus.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04And Mr Venus.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:40:07 > 0:40:10- Mr Venus.- I reckon Mr Venus. - Mr Venus? OK, that goes last.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Least likely to be pointless?
0:40:13 > 0:40:14- Martha Cratchit.- Martha Cratchit.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Martha Cratchit, and Peter Cratchit goes in the middle.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22And here they are. We have got...
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Very best of luck, three good answers up on the board there.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Quite a nice jackpot, £2,750.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33What would you do with that if you won?
0:40:33 > 0:40:36We like going to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival,
0:40:36 > 0:40:39so I think it would fund a couple of seasons
0:40:39 > 0:40:41going up to watch the Edinburgh Fringe.
0:40:41 > 0:40:42Very nice, very nice indeed.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Alan, anything you want to add to that?
0:40:44 > 0:40:47No, that's about it, that's the same. We love going up there.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Well, three good answers on the board.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Let's hope at least one of them is pointless
0:40:51 > 0:40:53and wins that jackpot for you.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Your first answer was Martha Cratchit.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57In this case, in fact in all three cases,
0:40:57 > 0:41:00we were looking for characters from the programme Dickensian.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04If it is pointless, it will win you £2,750.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07Let's find out how many of our 100 people said Martha Cratchit.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13It's right.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14That's the first thing it had to be,
0:41:14 > 0:41:16the second thing it has to be is pointless.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Martha Cratchit takes us down through the 30s,
0:41:18 > 0:41:20into the 20s, into the teens,
0:41:20 > 0:41:21into single figures.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Down it goes, still going down.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Now, Dickensian characters, lots and lots of pointless answers here.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Mr Venus, as you said, was played by Omid Djalili.

0:42:40 > 0:42:42Nell, Rose, Sally Compeyson, Silas Wegg.

0:42:44 > 0:42:46Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49And works by Charles Dickens. Lots and lots of pointless answers.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52None of the novels were pointless, other than Barnaby Rudge.
0:42:55 > 0:42:56Lots of other pointless answers there,
0:42:56 > 0:42:58but mainly the short stories and what have you.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Very, very well done if you got any of those at home,
0:43:00 > 0:43:02and great work in the studio, well played.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Thank you very much indeed,
