0:00:19 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:24 > 0:00:26and welcome to Pointless, the show that makes big winners
0:00:26 > 0:00:29out of the lowest scorers. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hello, my name's Stephen, this is my best friend Andrew
0:00:38 > 0:00:39and we are both postmen from Banbury.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- Couple number two. - Hi, my name's Jessica.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44This is my friend Shailyn and we are both from London.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Couple number three.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Amber, this is my boyfriend Jordan and we live in Plymouth.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51And finally, couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Ailise and this is Clare and we are both students
0:00:53 > 0:00:55at the University of Exeter.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03A very warm welcome to Pointless, great to have you here.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05We'll get to chat to each of you
0:01:05 > 0:01:06throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12He knows his role and he knows he's droll, it's my Pointless friend,
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- it's Richard.- Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Good afternoon.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- What a show last time.- I know.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24We had three pointless answers in regular play and then
0:01:24 > 0:01:27on the jackpot round we had three more.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29We had six pointless answers in all,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32and Alan and Heather walked away with that £2,750 on Dickens.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Two returning pairs from that - Clare and Ailise, welcome back,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37and Amber and Jordan as well.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40And we welcome our newcomers as well. Two postmen, that's nice.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Yeah, what a delivery.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- If they win...- Yeah. - If they win, I swear I'm going to
0:01:46 > 0:01:48leave their trophy with a neighbour.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50LAUGHTER
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Thank you very much anyway, Richard.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Anything to look out for in question terms?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- I will say this.- Yeah.- Round One...
0:01:57 > 0:01:59I would...
0:01:59 > 0:02:02In a way, I think if you're at all nervous or anything like that,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04I would switch off, because it's so high-octane
0:02:04 > 0:02:07it's going to blow a lot of people's minds, I think.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Thank you very much, Richard.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10Now, Alan and Heather, as you've gathered,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13won the jackpot last time, which means we start off
0:02:13 > 0:02:15with a jackpot of £1,000 today.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17There we are. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19APPLAUSE
0:02:23 > 0:02:25So, remember this, if nothing else -
0:02:25 > 0:02:28the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:28 > 0:02:30will be eliminated, so just keep your scores down.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category today...
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- It's already getting pretty exciting.- It gets better.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41- It gets better.- Plants.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47who's going to go second? Watch them fight to go first.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Oh, yes.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07On each board we're going to give you seven clues relating to herbs.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10You need to give us a nice obscure answer, please.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Seven herb clues on the first board,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14seven herb clues on the second board,
0:03:14 > 0:03:1614 in all to have a go at at home.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Very, very best of luck.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Imagine the excitement around Britain now.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21I can feel it in here.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24People being called in, kids being called in off the street.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Yeah.- "They're doing herbs on Pointless!"
0:03:30 > 0:03:31So, let's reveal our board.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34We are looking for the herbs being described by these clues.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37And here are our first seven clues.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I've got to do all those again, so just bear with me.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Andy, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here from Banbury.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Yes.- Where you sort out all the mail.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Yes.- And then deliver it to people's houses.- Yes.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Do you have any favourite addresses on there or are they all lovely?
0:04:43 > 0:04:44They're all lovely, every single one of them.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48I'm glad. I would really love to get the inside gen on that.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49This is my area, you see.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51But where particularly do you deliver?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Talk amongst yourselves.- I deliver in a village called Cropredy.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I see. And how long have you been on that particular beat?
0:04:57 > 0:05:0011 years on that job but 27 years as a postman.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Now, what happens...? Presumably if they suddenly changed
0:05:03 > 0:05:05your delivery area that would be awful, wouldn't it?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07You'd suddenly have to...
0:05:07 > 0:05:09You'd make friends again, I'm sure, very quickly,
0:05:09 > 0:05:10but do you have a say in that?
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Yeah, kind of. Yeah, we do get to choose, but...
0:05:14 > 0:05:15That's good. That's good.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19So, Andy, what are you go to go for from our herbs here?
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Not really good for me, this board, I'm afraid,
0:05:22 > 0:05:24but I think the medical herb famously used for
0:05:24 > 0:05:27a lawn at Buckingham Palace is camomile.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Camomile, says Andy.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Let's see how many of 100 people agree with Andy.
0:05:38 > 0:05:3952, not bad.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Not bad, it's a solid start.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43APPLAUSE
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Yeah, one of the nine sacred herbs of the Saxons, camomile.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48They had nine sacred herbs.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I'm not going to ask what the others are because maybe there'll be more.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55But then we can then all see maybe what they have in common,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58the sacred herbs, and see if there's anything that marks them out.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00They're sacred.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02What marks them out,
0:06:02 > 0:06:05might have made them stand out to the Anglo-Saxons.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Oh, I think it was their sacredness.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08LAUGHTER
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Shailyn, welcome to Pointless, good to have you here.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- What do you do, Shailyn? - I work in advertising.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Which department of advertising?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17So, we are the media planning and buying side,
0:06:17 > 0:06:19so we plan and buy media.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22So this is all the advertising that goes in the press that you put...
0:06:22 > 0:06:25I mean, how...? Has that changed quite a lot over the last ten years,
0:06:25 > 0:06:26the amount of focus on press?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Do you do lots more online stuff now?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Yeah, I mean, what we do is we, I guess,
0:06:31 > 0:06:34distribute the media through different channels,
0:06:34 > 0:06:39so social media, digital display, for example. So, yeah.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Excellent. Shailyn, what would you like to go for
0:06:41 > 0:06:42from our board of herbs?
0:06:42 > 0:06:46I have two in mind - one is a safe option,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48the other one is not so safe.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50I think I'm going to take the risk...
0:06:51 > 0:06:55..and I'm going to go for the relative of the onion, chive.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Chive, says Shailyn. Let's see if it's right,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59let's see how many of our 100 people said chive.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Well done.
0:07:05 > 0:07:0676.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Well, it's on the board.- 76.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12That's the crisp lovers of Britain know that, don't they?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Sour cream and chive. The Romans brought it to Britain,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17you can find wild chive growing along Hadrian's wall.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- There you go.- That's nice, isn't it?
0:07:20 > 0:07:24That is nice. One of the many things they did for us.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25- The Romans?- Yeah.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27It's one of their sacred herbs, you know?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30I wonder what it is.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Thank you very much. Jordan, welcome back to Pointless.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Great to have you here. Remind us what you do, Jordan.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- I'm a youth worker.- You're a youth worker down in Plymouth?
0:07:38 > 0:07:39- That's right, yeah. - Very good indeed.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42And what are your interests, Jordan?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44I like football, watching it, playing it.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48I like doing a bit of the gym when I've got time
0:07:48 > 0:07:50and that kind of stuff.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Very good indeed. How are you on herbs?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Do you cook at all? Do you grow herbs?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Yeah, I cook. But these clues are not helping me right now.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04I think I'm just going to have to go with the common ingredient
0:08:04 > 0:08:06in soap and go lavender.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Lavender, says Jordan. Let's see if that's right,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11let's see how many of our 100 people said lavender.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14It's right.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Oh, look at that, lavender, passing everything else.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Oh, you leave them in your wake, Jordan.
0:08:20 > 0:08:2138 for lavender there.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Yeah, good answer, Jordan. Well played.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26It's one of those ones that's obvious when you see it
0:08:26 > 0:08:28but actually quite tricky to work out.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Renaissance painters used to use lavender
0:08:30 > 0:08:32to improve the quality of their colours.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Thank you, Richard.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Clare, welcome back.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Remind us what you do. - I'm a student at Exeter University.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- A medic...- Yes. - ..at Exeter University.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44And what are your interests, Clare?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Just doing a lot of stuff with friends,
0:08:47 > 0:08:49just play touch rugby for the uni.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Very good. And do you belong to any societies at the uni?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- Just the touch rugby. - Just the touch rugby.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57That's enough. That's not just having friends.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59My society of friends.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01How are we feeling about this board of herbs?
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Because it's all yours, Clare.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05If you wanted to go through it and fill in all our blanks,
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- you'd be very welcome.- I don't think I'll be able to do that.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10The ones I was going to go for have gone, but I think something maybe
0:09:10 > 0:09:12has just popped into my head, so I'm going to go with it.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Good.- The leaves of this plant also known as cilantro,
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I think it might be coriander.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Coriander, gets you a nod and a smile from Ailise.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Is it right? Let's see how many of our 100 people said coriander.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26It is coriander.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Well done.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32And done it goes, 21.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Best score of the round so far. Very well done.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39That's good work, Clare, well played.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Now, shall we fill in this?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Because you're very good with herbs.- Yes.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47- If you know what I mean. - Yes.- The top one?
0:09:47 > 0:09:48- Mint.- Mint, yeah.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51That's the biggest scorer up there, would've scored you 81.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54This next one is the best answer on the board.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56But, you see, initially I was thinking fennel,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59but, of course, cerfeuil, chervil.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Chervil is the right answer, very well done.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03- Nice. - Would've scored you four points.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- And at the bottom?- That's oregano.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07- Oregano.- Or Oreh-gino.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Oreh-gino, the Americans say that.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- 32 points for that. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:14 > 0:10:1621, the best score of the pass, Clare, well done, you.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Clare and Ailise I think will be in Round Two.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Then we go to 38 where we find Jordan and Amber,
0:10:21 > 0:10:2352 where we find Andy and Stephen
0:10:23 > 0:10:26and then up to 76, Shailyn and Jessica.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Jess, how are you on your herbs?
0:10:28 > 0:10:29This is not a good subject for me.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- Really?- No.- OK.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- Good luck with the next pass, then. - So we'll give it a go.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35OK. We are going to come back down the line now.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Can the second players please step up the podium?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42OK, let's put seven more clues to herbs up on the board
0:10:42 > 0:10:43and here they come.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17I'm going to read those all again.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Now then, Ailise, welcome back.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Also a medic.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49- Yes.- In your third year.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- Yeah.- At Exeter.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53You are nothing to do with touch rugby, are you?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- No, rugby's not my thing. - You wouldn't touch that.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00What do you like getting up to when you're not in the medic department?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Well, for exercise I tend to prefer things more like yoga,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06going to the gym, swimming. A bit more chilled out,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08less contact than rugby.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Very good indeed. And are you adept with herbs? This is the big thing.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Well, I'm quite glad I'm going first
0:12:15 > 0:12:18because I don't think I could've got many of these.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21So I'm going to go for the member of the laurel family
0:12:21 > 0:12:23and I'm going to go with bay.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Bay, says Ailise. Here's your red line.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28If you can get below this red line with bay, you are home and dry.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Let's see how many of our 100 people said bay.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Very well done.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Good answer, 25.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Our two lowest scores so far on that far podium,
0:12:43 > 0:12:4546 is your total.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Very well played. The Greek god Apollo wore bay leaves
0:12:48 > 0:12:50after his sweetheart Daphne was turned into a bay tree.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Mm.- That is tough.- Yes.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Yeah.- There we are.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Thanks very much, Richard.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- Amber.- Hi. - Lovely to have you back.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Remind us what you do, Amber.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I'm a psychology student, final year.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05In your final year.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Are you going to miss it when you finish?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09No. The studying hasn't been...
0:13:09 > 0:13:11I'm one of those people, or few people,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14that can't wait to go out and get a job and a house...
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- Get on with it. - Yeah. Go travelling first.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Oh, that's good. So, how long are you going to go travelling for?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21As long as we possibly can.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24So you'll go off somewhere and just follow your noses,
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- or will you go on a...? - We want to go to Asia.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29We're going to teach for a little bit, teach English.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Excellent.- And then go south-east.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33- Fabulous.- Yeah.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Fabulous, well, good luck with all of that, Amber.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Now, you're on 38, the high-scorers are still
0:13:39 > 0:13:40Jessica and Shailyn on 76,
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- so 37 or less keeps you in the game.- Yeah.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45I knew bay.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49And it's between two others.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I'm going to go with often used in pesto.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- Basil.- Basil, says Amber.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Here is your red line. Not too far down.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Let's see if you can get near it or below it with basil.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05It's right.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07Ooh.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10It's a popular one there, 80 for basil.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12118 is your total.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Yeah, big score there, I think mainly due to
0:14:14 > 0:14:17the Fawlty Towers reference, probably, in that clue.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18Thanks very much indeed.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Now, Jessica, no longer the high-scorers, what about that?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- Jessica, what do you do? - So, I work in advertising as well.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Now, Jessica, something tells me you're not originally from London,
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- are you? - No, I'm originally from Australia.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33From Australia, and whereabouts in Australia are you from?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Everywhere, because my dad's in the Army, so I moved around a lot.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37I see. That's good.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Now, you've been in London for how long?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- Five years now.- OK.- Yeah.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Enough to sipe up as much pointless knowledge as possible.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47I will try my best, definitely.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Good. Well, very, very best of luck.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51As I say, you are on 76.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55You now have a target of 41 or less to remain in the game.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57So, I'm going to take a punt
0:14:57 > 0:14:59and go for the herb commonly used with salmon...
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- ..and go with dill.- Dill.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- Yes.- Dill, says Jessica.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Let's see if that's right.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08There is your red line, you have to get below that red line.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Let's see how far down the column we get with dill.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14- It's right.- Wow.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19There we are. Very good.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Not much space to spare there.
0:15:20 > 0:15:2237 takes your total up to 113,
0:15:22 > 0:15:24but gets you into Round Two, most importantly.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Well played, Jessica. Very nicely done, yeah.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29I love the character Dill in To Kill A Mockingbird,
0:15:29 > 0:15:31he's so sweet.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- There it is.- There we are. - I don't know if he's in the new...
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- Is he in the other book? - I don't know.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I wonder what happened to him.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41I might just leave the new book unread.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42I don't mind... I'll buy it.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45For the Lee estate, that'd be nice.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Yeah, but not read it. - But I think I won't read it.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50It can sit there alongside A Brief History Of Time.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53Thank you very much indeed.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Now, Stephen.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Welcome, welcome, welcome.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59And I know what you do and I know even where you do it -
0:15:59 > 0:16:03the village of Sibford I know is in the middle of your delivery area.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07How large is the area geographically that you are...?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10The area I deliver is huge because I do the village of Sibford
0:16:10 > 0:16:15and Burdrop and then I have to drive, say, about 15 miles
0:16:15 > 0:16:18round some farms, all the way up to Rollright Stones,
0:16:18 > 0:16:19you know, more or less.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- Yeah.- Then back down to The Firs, which you know.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Yeah.- Yeah, it's a big area. - That's a big area.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26So how long does it take you from start to finish?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- Four hours.- Wow.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31He's laughing because there's a big joke in the office,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34they all start singing Sibford Gower takes an hour,
0:16:34 > 0:16:35but it's a load of rubbish.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Stephen, you're the last person to have this board.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42You've been set up quite well by Andy, 52 is not a bad score at all.
0:16:42 > 0:16:4465 or less gets you through.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Do you want to talk us through that board at all?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Unfortunately I can only talk you through one,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51which is the fourth herb mentioned
0:16:51 > 0:16:54in the Simon and Garfunkel song, which is thyme.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Thyme, well, let's see if it's on your side, Stephen.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Thyme. LAUGHTER
0:16:59 > 0:17:03There we go. There is your red line. Can you get below that with thyme?
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Very well done.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Oh, look at that, beautifully judged, Stephen.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Great economising there.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15It takes your total up to 112.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Yeah, very well played. What a tight round that was.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Terrific work, everybody. Yes, so,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23we all know the song, and a couple of the other things mentioned in it
0:17:23 > 0:17:26are also up here. It goes parsley, sage -
0:17:26 > 0:17:29which is the answer to the top one there.
0:17:29 > 0:17:3267 points. Rosemary, which is the answer to the bottom one,
0:17:32 > 0:17:34would scored 258.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36And this last one, it's the best answer on the board.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Tarragon. - Tarragon, with chicken, absolutely.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41That would've scored you 17 points.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Very well done if you said that at home.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46At the end of our first round, the pair we have to send home
0:17:46 > 0:17:48with their high score, Amber and Jordan.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I can't bear it, you've come back for a second time
0:17:50 > 0:17:52when it's traditional to stay a bit longer,
0:17:52 > 0:17:54and on this occasion I'm afraid we are saying goodbye to you
0:17:54 > 0:17:56at the end of the first round. Far too soon.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57But lovely to have you on.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Thank you so much for playing, Amber and Jordan.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01APPLAUSE
0:18:01 > 0:18:04But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12What about that? We're down to three pairs.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Well done, you've made it through to Round Two.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18But particular well done, Clare and Ailise, fabulous,
0:18:18 > 0:18:19individually the lowest scorers
0:18:19 > 0:18:21and obviously together the lowest scorers,
0:18:21 > 0:18:24so very, very well done. They're clearly the pair to beat.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26But best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Our category for Round Two today is...
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36who's going to go second? And whoever's going first,
0:18:36 > 0:18:37please step up to the podium.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Richard.- Yes, so many British actors now go over to the States
0:18:51 > 0:18:54and star in US TV series, there's loads and loads of them,
0:18:54 > 0:18:56so we've got a whole round about them.
0:18:56 > 0:18:5716 pictures, we're about to show you,
0:18:57 > 0:19:01all of Brits in US TV dramas where they're playing Americans.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Just need to name one of these actors, please.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05There's going to be 16 in all to have a go at.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07OK, thanks very much. So, as Richard explained,
0:19:07 > 0:19:10we're going to put a picture up with 16 actors on it,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13just throw out a name of somebody who's up there on the board.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15OK, let's reveal the picture. Here it comes.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18There we go.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21There we go.
0:19:21 > 0:19:2416 British actors.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25Now, Andy.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- Yes.- Who would you like to go for?
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Oh, this is just no good for me at all.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31There's one face there I recognise,
0:19:31 > 0:19:33I just can't put a name to it,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35so I'm going to have to do plump for
0:19:35 > 0:19:38probably an obvious answer and say Hugh Laurie.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Hugh Laurie, says Andy.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Let's see how many of 100 people got Hugh Laurie.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46It's right.
0:19:48 > 0:19:4957, that's not bad.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- Not bad.- Could be a lot worse.
0:19:51 > 0:19:5357 for Hugh Laurie.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Yeah, played, of course, Dr House in House.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Fabulous, thank you very much indeed.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- Now, Jessica.- Yes.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Have you decided which one you're going to go for?
0:20:02 > 0:20:06There's two. One is obvious and he's quite popular now...
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Well, don't do that one.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09OK.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Oh, Minnie Driver.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Minnie Driver, says Jessica.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Let's see how many of our 100 people spotted Minnie Driver.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- Oh.- Who is that?
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Oh. Do you know what?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25I would just assume that she was on there.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I didn't think... I was thinking, yes, Minnie Driver.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Yes, she's gone on to have a very successful career in the States
0:20:31 > 0:20:34but not on that board, I'm afraid.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Bad luck, yes.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38An incorrect answer scoring you 100 points there.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Clare.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Yes.- Clare, how are you feeling about this board?
0:20:42 > 0:20:46I know a couple and there's one that I can't remember the name
0:20:46 > 0:20:49and it's really frustrating me, so I can't go for that one.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50I'm going to go for Idris Elba.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Idris Elba, says Clare.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Let's see how many of our 100 people said Idris Elba.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58It's right.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02And you pass 57, our low score.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03This is a new low score.
0:21:03 > 0:21:0527, very well done indeed, Clare.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07APPLAUSE
0:21:09 > 0:21:12That's a good answer, yeah, he played Stringer Bell in The Wire.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14He's the absolute archetypal person
0:21:14 > 0:21:16because he wasn't a big star over here
0:21:16 > 0:21:19and his American accent is so utterly convincing.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Now a huge star over here as well as over there.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Absolutely. Thank you very much indeed.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Well, we're halfway through the round,
0:21:26 > 0:21:27let's take a look at those scores.
0:21:27 > 0:21:3027, that far podium on fire today.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Clare and Ailise looking very strong for the head-to-head at this point.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Then up to 57, where we find Andy and Stephen,
0:21:35 > 0:21:37then up to 100, Jessica and Shailyn.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Shailyn, the round is not over yet,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42so a nice low score from you could easily redeem things.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Let's see what happens.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45We're going to come back down the line now.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Can the second players please step up to podium?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52OK. So, Ailise.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58This is not good for me.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01I'm honestly just going to have to make up a name, I think,
0:22:01 > 0:22:05and hope by some crazy chance that's someone up on the board.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09So I'm going to go with...
0:22:09 > 0:22:10Steve Johnson.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Steve Johnson.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Brilliant with Minnie Driver in that...
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Anyway, let's see, Steve Johnson, there's your red line.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23I mean, it's not the end of the world if this is wrong.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Let's see what happens when we say Steve Johnson.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Well, there we are.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Although that scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 127.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Luckily, you were very well set up by Clare
0:22:35 > 0:22:38and you may very easily still be in with a shout there.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Yeah, no Steve Johnson.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- I bet there must be an actor called Steve Johnson...- Oh, yeah.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45..at home thinking, "I would love to get the call from LA."
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- But, yeah, not on that board. - Not on that board, sadly.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51How come you haven't landed a part in a major US drama?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- I did a pilot for a US thing. - Did you?- Which is fun.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55You have a sort of pilot season where everyone...
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Did you have to do an American accent?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59No, I was playing an English person.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Oh, really?- Yeah. - Can you do an American accent?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- I think I can.- Go on, then.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- Right, I'm going to... - I'm not going to do it now.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- We'll do a little scene.- OK.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10So I'm going to be an English tourist, OK?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Yes.- And I'm coming in to the police station.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17I go, "Oh, I'm so sorry, my car has just broken down.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20"I wonder if there's anyone here who can help me."
0:23:20 > 0:23:22OVER-THE-TOP AMERICAN ACCENT: I could help you, sir!
0:23:22 > 0:23:24LAUGHTER
0:23:26 > 0:23:28The trouble is, I think maybe...
0:23:28 > 0:23:30I think maybe I hit someone further down the road.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Wait a minute, sir, we got a whole queue of people waiting here.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35But I just think that someone might be quite badly injured
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- down there...- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Would you deal with this joker while I go and get myself a muffin?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- What do you say? - He's good, he's good.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44APPLAUSE
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Oh, that was spookily good, wasn't it?
0:23:50 > 0:23:51That was unbelievable.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Oh. The trouble is, when I do Americans,
0:23:54 > 0:23:57I always just keep it very subtle so it's very...
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I always think that's the way to do it, it's the key, don't over...
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Never overdo it.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Thank you very much. Now, Shailyn.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- Yes.- 26 or less is what we require from you.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09I have absolutely no clue.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14I recognise some faces but I'm going to also have to take a guess.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16And I'm going to go for John Smith.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21John Smith. Well, there is your red line.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23And there is the top of the column.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Let's see what happens when we say John Smith.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Oh.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33I am afraid that's an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35takes up to 200
0:24:35 > 0:24:38but wins you eternal gratitude on the far podium there.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41See, that's the thing with acting,
0:24:41 > 0:24:43because no two people are allowed to have the same name,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45all names are as common as each other.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- This is true.- Aren't they?- Mm.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Thank you very much indeed. Now, Stephen.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52You're the last person to have this board.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Who would you like to go for?
0:24:53 > 0:24:54No, it's not a good board for me.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56I've not a clue on anyone,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59so I'll just pluck any actress out of the air and say Emma Thompson.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Emma Thompson, OK.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03No red line for you, you're already through,
0:25:03 > 0:25:04which is a bit of a relief.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Let's see what happens when we say Emma Thompson.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Not Emma Thompson, I'm afraid.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 157,
0:25:13 > 0:25:15but you're through anyway.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17That second pass went pretty well, didn't it(?)
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- Yeah!- God, this board's going to take a long time to fill in.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22- Oh.- Some very...
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Yeah.- I bet you could probably go through this.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28I bet maybe there's two you don't know on that board.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29- But let's try.- So, top left?
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Alan Cumming.- Alan Cumming, would've scored you seven points.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Next to Hugh Laurie?
0:25:34 > 0:25:38- It's Archie Panjabi from The Good Wife.- Yes.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Would've scored you four.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- Next to her...- Damian Lewis. - Damian Lewis.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Would've scored you 17.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Now, the first one on the next row.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Dominic West.- Dominic West.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Would've scored you seven.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- Next to him? - I can't remember her name.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53She's in The Affair, with Dominic West in fact.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- Ruth Wilson.- There we are. - She would've scored you four points.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Next to Ruth Wilson?
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Lovely Natascha McElhone.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Natascha McElhone would've scored you two points.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02- Next to her?- Michael Sheen.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Michael Sheen, 13.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Now, pointless answer for the one on the next row.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- From Breaking Bad. - From Breaking Bad, yeah.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- And it's...- I don't know what her name is.- ..Laura Fraser.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Very well done if you said that, pointless answer.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Next to Laura Fraser? - Morrissey, David Morrissey.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18The wonderful David Morrissey would've scored you seven points.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21He is in The Walking Dead, as is...
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- Andy Lincoln.- Andrew Lincoln, who would've scored ten points.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Next to Andrew Lincoln?
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- John Mahoney.- John Mahoney, very famous for being in Frasier.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30British-born, two points for him.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32On the bottom row next to Idris Elba?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34You might not recognise her, Anna Friel.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- Oh, it's Anna Friel?- Yes. It would've scored you six points.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38A very big name next to Anna Friel.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Only just recognised Martin Freeman.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Martin Freeman, yeah. Would've scored you 19.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- And next to him?- Is David Harewood.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47David Harewood, who would've scored you one point.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49very well done if you got one of those low scorers.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Very good indeed. Thanks so much, Richard.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52So, at the end of our second round,
0:26:52 > 0:26:55the pair who are heading home with a high score of 200,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Shailyn and Jessica, I'm afraid it is you.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00We will see you again next time, I'm sure you will go much, much further.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02But it's been great having you on the show, thank you so much.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Shailyn and Jessica.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06APPLAUSE
0:27:06 > 0:27:09But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Well, congratulations, Clare and Ailise, Stephen and Andy,
0:27:16 > 0:27:19you're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play
0:27:19 > 0:27:21for our jackpot, which currently stands at...
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Well, here we are, we've made it to the sunlit uplands
0:27:26 > 0:27:28of the head-to-head, which means you can now confer
0:27:28 > 0:27:30before you give your answers, which is nice.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Well, this is students versus postmen.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Very good. Same planet, different time zone, some might say.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43But, yes, Clare and Ailise, you've been here before,
0:27:43 > 0:27:45you were our golden couple last time.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Stephen and Andy, very best of luck.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Great to have you here too. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Here is your first question and it concerns...
0:28:03 > 0:28:04- Richard. - Yeah, not as scary as it sounds.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06We're going to show you five pairs of books now
0:28:06 > 0:28:09and we've missed out numbers from both of their titles.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11All you've got to do is add together
0:28:11 > 0:28:12the numbers we have missed out.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Thank you very much.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Let's our reveal five sets of clues, and here they come.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49I'm going to do that again.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Clare and Ailise, you will go first because you're our low scorers.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15OK.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18OK, so I think there's only one that we feel confident that we know,
0:29:18 > 0:29:20so we're just going to have to go for that.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24So, we're going for The Three Musketeers and 50 Shades Of Grey,
0:29:24 > 0:29:26adding up to 53.
0:29:26 > 0:29:2953 for the top one, say Clare and Ailise.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Now then, Stephen and Andy.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Do you want to talk us through the board?
0:29:35 > 0:29:36- That board is all yours.- Not really.
0:29:36 > 0:29:41We know half of a few of them, but we don't know the other half.
0:29:41 > 0:29:42Yeah.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44So I think we're going to go for the third one,
0:29:44 > 0:29:49which is Three Men In A Boat and The 39 Steps, which is 42.
0:29:49 > 0:29:5142, OK.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53So, we have 53 and we have 42.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Clare and Ailise said 53 - let's see if that's right for the first one,
0:29:56 > 0:29:59let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:30:01 > 0:30:02It's right.
0:30:04 > 0:30:0571.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07APPLAUSE
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Three plus 50 is 53 and it scores you 71.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13There we are. What could be simpler than that?
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Stephen and Andy have gone for 42 for the third one.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said 42.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26And it wins you the point. Well done.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Look at that, 57.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Three plus 39 equals 42, scores 57,
0:30:31 > 0:30:36and it means, Stephen and Andy, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Yeah, very well played.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Let's take a look. It's One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
0:30:41 > 0:30:43plus Slaughterhouse Five,
0:30:43 > 0:30:45which is six, which would have scored you 19.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47This is really confusing, isn't it?
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- Do you know this next one?- Erm...
0:30:50 > 0:30:52- The Secret Seven.- Secret Seven.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55And Fahrenheit...
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Oh, it's three. It's Fahrenheit nuh-nuh-nuh.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59- Fahrenheit 451.- 451.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02So, 458 is the answer there.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04It would have scored you 14.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05And this next one is a pointless answer.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09The first one is simply a note that Pittacus Lore left out
0:31:09 > 0:31:11for the postman. It says, "I am number four."
0:31:13 > 0:31:15And it's 12 Red Herrings, so the answer there is 16.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Very well done if you got that at home, a pointless answer.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Excellent. Thank you very much indeed.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21Here comes your second question.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Clare and Ailise, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27This is your second time here as our low scorers, our golden couple.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29We can't send you home at the end of this round
0:31:29 > 0:31:32without seeing you through to the final.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34But best of luck to both pairs.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Stephen and Andy get to answer this one first.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Question two is all about...
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- That's nice.- Yeah, we're going to show you five pictures now
0:31:44 > 0:31:48of cities that ranked in the top ten happiest cities to work in
0:31:48 > 0:31:49in the UK in 2016.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Can you identify these cities, please?
0:31:51 > 0:31:54OK, let's reveal our five cities and here they come.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27There we are, five happy cities.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Stephen and Andy, you will go first this time.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34OK, erm...
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Right, well, we think we know a couple, but we're going to go for C.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38We think that's Norwich.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40C, Norwich, say Stephen and Andy.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Norwich. Now then, Clare and Ailise,
0:32:42 > 0:32:44do you want to talk us through that board?
0:32:45 > 0:32:51Erm... So, we think that A is Birmingham,
0:32:51 > 0:32:54B we think probably Bristol.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55D is London.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58And we're not so sure about E, but it may be Newcastle.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03So we're going to maybe go for Bristol for number B.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05OK, Bristol for B.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08So we have Norwich and we have Bristol.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Stephen and Andy said Norwich for C.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17It's right.
0:33:21 > 0:33:22That's a good answer.
0:33:22 > 0:33:2418 for Norwich.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28I think Bristol's pretty good, though.
0:33:28 > 0:33:3018 for Norwich.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Meanwhile, Clare and Ailise have gone B - Bristol.
0:33:33 > 0:33:34Let's see if that's right.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Let's see how many of our 100 people said Bristol for B.
0:33:40 > 0:33:41It is right.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45This is going to be close, I should think.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Oh, look at that! 25 for Bristol.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49APPLAUSE
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Which means very well done, Stephen and Andy.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55After only two questions, you're straight through to the final 2-0.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56Well played, gents, and appropriately,
0:33:56 > 0:34:00Norwich was number one on that list, the best UK city to work in.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Number two on the list was D, which isn't London.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06They won't thank you for that! It's Liverpool.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09And Liverpool would have scored you 53.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Number three on the list is Birmingham, which was A.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15They went out on beautiful days to photograph these, didn't they?
0:34:15 > 0:34:1943. Yeah, didn't they? I wonder if Photoshop has been involved somehow.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21I do wonder a little, yes.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23But, yeah, third nicest place to...
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Third happiest UK city to work in.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28E is not Newcastle, it is Nottingham.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Nottingham. Very well done if you said that at home.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Ten points, the best answer on the board.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Wonderful. Thank you very much indeed.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36So the pair leaving us, I'm so sorry,
0:34:36 > 0:34:37at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:37 > 0:34:40second time you've been here and I'm afraid
0:34:40 > 0:34:41it's a 2-0 defeat by the postmen.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Oh! We say goodbye to our medics.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Been lovely having you on the show. Thank you so much for playing.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Sorry we're sending you home without a trophy, though.
0:34:48 > 0:34:49Clare and Ailise.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51APPLAUSE
0:34:53 > 0:34:56But for Stephen and Andy it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Congratulations, Stephen and Andy,
0:35:02 > 0:35:04you have fought off all the competition
0:35:04 > 0:35:06and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and at the end of
0:35:15 > 0:35:19today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,000.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20Well, this is very impressive.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Apart from anything else, it's very good news
0:35:22 > 0:35:24for people living in the Banbury area,
0:35:24 > 0:35:27because it means their post tomorrow will be delivered
0:35:27 > 0:35:30absolutely at the normal time, no disruption to the service.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Also, you will note how efficiently they have come in here.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36They've just got the job done, haven't been savaged by any dogs...
0:35:38 > 0:35:40..and are making out with a trophy each,
0:35:40 > 0:35:42which is very exciting indeed. Very well done.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Anything you'd particularly like to see come up in this last round?
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- Music.- Anything sporty, I think. - Yeah, sport as well, yeah.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51I quite like football. Anything sporty, really.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53OK, best of luck. As always, there are four categories
0:35:53 > 0:35:56that will appear on the board behind me. You just have to hope
0:35:56 > 0:35:58there's something that you aren't too scared of on that board.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59Best of luck.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Today's selection looks like this.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- I don't know, Steve.- No. - I don't know any of them.- No.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Should we give French pop a go? It's the only thing we even
0:36:15 > 0:36:17remotely know anything about.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- OK, give it a go, yeah. OK, we're going to go for French Pop.- No!
0:36:20 > 0:36:22- French Pop. - LAUGHTER
0:36:22 > 0:36:24You just said, "Shall we go for French Pop?"
0:36:24 > 0:36:26You don't look happy with that, Stephen.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- Are you all right with that?- No, no, no, sorry, as long as it is about...
0:36:29 > 0:36:31We don't know what it's about, do we?
0:36:31 > 0:36:32It could be champagne, couldn't it?
0:36:32 > 0:36:34LAUGHTER
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Man, we missed a trick there, didn't we?
0:36:37 > 0:36:39- Yeah.- We should have done that.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Good luck, gents, I wasn't expecting that,
0:36:41 > 0:36:43but here are your three questions.
0:36:43 > 0:36:48We are looking for any UK top 40 single or album by the band Air.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50We are looking for any tracks on Serge Gainsbourg's
0:36:50 > 0:36:54greatest hits album Initials SG, released in 2003.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Or we are looking for any tracks on the Daft Punk album
0:36:57 > 0:37:01Random Access Memories, please. The original release of that.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05So, top 40 singles or albums by Air, tracks on Initials SG,
0:37:05 > 0:37:07that's the best of Serge Gainsbourg,
0:37:07 > 0:37:10or tracks on Random Access Memories by Daft Punk.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Very best of luck.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14OK, now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:37:14 > 0:37:16to come up with three answers and all you need
0:37:16 > 0:37:19to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:25 > 0:37:26There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28OK, so Daft Punk.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31THEY WHISPER
0:37:31 > 0:37:32Was that them?
0:37:32 > 0:37:36No, that wasn't Daft Punk, no. That wasn't Daft Punk. Erm...
0:37:36 > 0:37:38I can't think who it was.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41We're Up All Night To Get Lucky, was that Daft Punk?
0:37:41 > 0:37:42- Yeah?- Give that a go, yeah.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44That's me being really obvious, though,
0:37:44 > 0:37:48so think of something French, Steve.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50- Brie! - Top 40 singles or albums by Air.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- Brie.- Yeah.- Want to try that?
0:37:52 > 0:37:54- Yeah.- I don't know...
0:37:54 > 0:37:56What else could we try?
0:37:56 > 0:37:57Think of a French city.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- Saint Etienne. - Saint Etienne, or, yeah...
0:38:00 > 0:38:02That's a football club, isn't it?
0:38:02 > 0:38:06- Lyon or...- Yeah, Lyon.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Can't think of anything else.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10I don't know what else to say, really.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12What are we going to say?
0:38:12 > 0:38:16- One of them called Brie?- Yeah! - THEY LAUGH
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- Ten seconds left. - And the one you said before.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21- Get Lucky, is it?- Get Lucky.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- And Cherbourg?- Yeah.
0:38:24 > 0:38:25- Yeah?- Yeah, do it, yeah.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- I don't know. - OK, that is your time up,
0:38:28 > 0:38:29just as you arrive at your answers.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32What about that? So, yes, if you could give me your answers
0:38:32 > 0:38:34and say which category you're answering in.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37The tracks by Daft Punk, I think Get Lucky.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41- Get Lucky.- Singles by Air, we're going to say Cherbourg.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42- Cherbourg.- Yeah.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45And tracks of the Serge Gainsbourg best of album,
0:38:45 > 0:38:46we're going to say Brie.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48LAUGHTER
0:38:48 > 0:38:49Brie, OK. Of the...
0:38:49 > 0:38:50Mais oui!
0:38:52 > 0:38:54- Oh, that's good.- Yeah!
0:38:55 > 0:38:56- I think so.- Of those three,
0:38:56 > 0:38:58which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:58 > 0:39:02Oh, Brie, definitely(!) Yeah, most definitely!
0:39:02 > 0:39:04- Shall we?- Yeah!- Brie goes last.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:06 > 0:39:07Erm... Get Lucky.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10OK, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then,
0:39:10 > 0:39:11and here they are. We've got...
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Very best of luck. Now... ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:39:20 > 0:39:23I have to ask this question, if you were to win the jackpot...
0:39:25 > 0:39:27..what would you like to spend it on?
0:39:27 > 0:39:28Stephen, you first.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Well, we're going to play golf soon on our annual holiday,
0:39:31 > 0:39:36so it will just go on a couple of really good nights there, you know.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38- Hit the town. Yeah. - Very good indeed.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- Andy, anything else you want to add to that?- Similar, really.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44And I might buy some French cheese with it or something.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Yeah! Quite right.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Best of luck. Now, your first answer was Get Lucky.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51In this case, we were looking for tracks from the album
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Random Access Memories by Daft Punk.
0:39:53 > 0:39:54Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57For £1,000, is it pointless?
0:39:57 > 0:39:58Get Lucky.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Well, it's right.
0:40:03 > 0:40:04It just has to be pointless now.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05Down it goes, it Get Lucky.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Through the 50s, into the 40s.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Makes it into the 30s and into the 20s.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Down it goes, still going down. 20, not bad, actually.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14APPLAUSE
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Really not bad.
0:40:19 > 0:40:20Sadly, not a pointless answer,
0:40:20 > 0:40:24which means we now move onto your next answer, which is Cherbourg,
0:40:24 > 0:40:27which I think is still very much within the realms of possibility.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29In this case, we're looking for any UK top 40
0:40:29 > 0:40:31singles or albums by Air.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Let's find out, for £1,000, is it right, Cherbourg,
0:40:34 > 0:40:36and if it is, is it pointless?
0:40:39 > 0:40:41- No.- No way!
0:40:41 > 0:40:43- Wrong album.- Ah...
0:40:43 > 0:40:45- I'm afraid an incorrect answer... - Ah, that one.
0:40:45 > 0:40:46..which means everything is now riding
0:40:46 > 0:40:51on your third and final answer. I think we've now escaped
0:40:51 > 0:40:53the bonds of possibility, haven't we?
0:40:53 > 0:40:57Brie. We're now looking for tracks on the Initials SG album
0:40:57 > 0:40:58by Serge Gainsbourg. Brie.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Firstly, it has to be right, then it has to be pointless.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03If it's both of those things, you leave with £1,000.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05How many of our 100 people said Brie?
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Oh, bad luck.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12Bad luck.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Cannot believe it.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Well, we had one good answer there, but that was...
0:41:19 > 0:41:21I mean, that's a really challenging round.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Quite niche knowledge, you need there.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:26 > 0:41:28though, unsurprisingly, so I'm afraid you don't win
0:41:28 > 0:41:29today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31That will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34But it's been great having you here, absolutely fantastic.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36So it's a great pleasure to send you away with
0:41:36 > 0:41:39a coveted Pointless trophy each, so very, very well done.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Well earnt, Stephen and Andy.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42APPLAUSE
0:41:46 > 0:41:47Yeah, unlucky, gents. Very well played.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49There is some good news, which is having seen
0:41:49 > 0:41:52your two incorrect answers, a film producer's been in touch
0:41:52 > 0:41:55and wants to make a movie of this jackpot round called the...
0:41:55 > 0:41:58He's going to call it The Postman Always Wrongs Twice.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03Let's take a little look at the pointless answers, shall we?
0:42:03 > 0:42:06If you don't know Air, I think you'd rather like them.
0:42:06 > 0:42:07They're a fantastic band.
0:42:07 > 0:42:0910,000 Hz Legend, the album.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11All I Need, lovely track.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Kelly Watch The Stars, a pointless answer.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Number two album, Talkie Walkie.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19Also could have had Alpha Beta Gaga, Le Voyage Dans La Lune, Love 2,
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Playground Love, Pocket Symphony, Premiers Symptomes,
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Radio #1 and The Virgin Suicides. All of those were pointless answers.
0:42:24 > 0:42:25Well done if you said one there.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Serge Gainsbourg now.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30There's only three answers on that album that scored any points at all,
0:42:30 > 0:42:32which were Bonnie And Clyde, L'anamour
0:42:32 > 0:42:34and unsurprisingly Je T'aime as well.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Everything else on the album, including these,
0:42:36 > 0:42:38was a pointless answer.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40And Random Access Memories by Daft Punk,
0:42:40 > 0:42:42again, which is an amazing album.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45You could have had Fragments Of Time, Give Life Back To Music,
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Lose Yourself To Dance, Motherboard.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50You could have had Beyond, Contact, The Game Of Love, Touch and Within.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Thanks very much indeed, Richard, and thank you, Stephen and Andy.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Great to have you on the show. I'm afraid they didn't win
0:42:57 > 0:43:00our jackpot today, which means it rolls over onto the next show
0:43:00 > 0:43:03when we will be playing for £2,000.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:08 > 0:43:09Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
