0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed!
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and a very warm welcome to Pointless -
0:00:25 > 0:00:27the show where obvious answers mean nothing and
0:00:27 > 0:00:30obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39I'm Charlotte and this is Sophie, and we are from Sheffield.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41- Couple number two.- I'm Ruth,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44I'm from Cockfosters in north London, and this is my mum, Jenny,
0:00:44 > 0:00:45from Langford in Bedfordshire.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Couple number three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Ann and this is my son, Robert.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And we are both from Watford.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53And finally, couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57I'm Shaun, this is my friend Ryan, and we're from West Yorkshire.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01APPLAUSE
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Thanks very much, all of you. A very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Great to have you here. We'll get to chat to each of you, of course,
0:01:06 > 0:01:07throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15In Norse times, he'd have been called Osmundo, keeper of sagas,
0:01:15 > 0:01:16crusher of dreams.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19But these days, it's simply my Pointless friend, Richard.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- Good afternoon. Good afternoon to you.- Good afternoon.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28I like Osmundo, that's nice.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- Osmundo.- Osmundo.- Yeah. That's very, very good. Very powerful.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- Your name already sounds Norse. Alexander Armstrong.- Yes.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Doesn't it?- Yeah.- Wouldn't have to change it.- It'd be a bit of a let down,
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Armstrong. I perhaps might play the Armstrong down a bit, I think,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44if I went back and met my Viking ancestors.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46You'd call yourself Alexander Arm Mediocre.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48CHUCKLING I'd just call myself Alexander...
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Just Alexander Arms.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51I'd go, "Wahey!" and they go, "Oh!"
0:01:51 > 0:01:54HE GRUNTS
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- Is that how they talk? Your Norse is terrific.- It is good, isn't it?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Anyway, thank you very much. - It's a pleasure.- Richard, thank you.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Ange and Rani won the jackpot last time,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06which means today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08There we are. There it is. Right, if everyone is ready,
0:02:08 > 0:02:09let's play Pointless.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Now, you know this rule.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19The pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be
0:02:19 > 0:02:22eliminated. That's it - the only rule of Pointless.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24No conferring until we get to the head-to-head.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category today is...
0:02:29 > 0:02:30It's a Words round.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34who is going to go second? And whoever is going first,
0:02:34 > 0:02:35please step up to the podium.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42OK. And the question concerns...
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Richard.- Yeah, homophones are words which sound the same but are spelt
0:02:47 > 0:02:49differently and have different definitions.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52On each board, we are going to show you seven pairs of definitions
0:02:52 > 0:02:55of homophones. You need to tell us the word we are looking for, please.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Seven on the first board, seven on the second board.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- 14 in all to have a go at at home. Best of luck.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02So, we are looking for the words that complete these definitions.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Here's our first board of seven clues.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08HE READS THE CLUES
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I'll read those all again. These are fun.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14There we go. Sophie. Welcome to Pointless. You are from Sheffield.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15- Yeah.- What do you do, Sophie?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18I'm a bespoke administrator for an occupational health company.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Bespoke administrator.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23So, you are designing therapy all the time?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Yeah, we give different types of physio to different companies
0:04:26 > 0:04:28- outside of the contract.- I see.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30OK. And what are your interests, Sophie?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I like travelling, I like football...
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Which team do you follow? - Manchester United.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Are you a travelling supporter of Manchester United?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39I've not travelled away but I've gone to Old Trafford,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- which is travelling, seeing as I'm from Sheffield.- Well, it is, yeah!
0:04:42 > 0:04:44You have plenty of teams nearer to home.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46But there we are. Manchester United, it is.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Now, Sophie, what about our homophones here?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52There's a few that I think I know.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56But the one that stands out is male child or youth,
0:04:56 > 0:04:58anchored float serving as a navigation mark,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- and I think it's boy. - Boy. Boy, says Sophie.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said boy.
0:05:08 > 0:05:1190. That's a big score!
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Well, there we are. Still, it's right.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- It's a lot better than 100. - It is a big score, though.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19The heaviest baby boy ever born, 22 pounds.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20XANDER GASPS
0:05:20 > 0:05:23You can hear the gasps from the WI there.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Yeah, 1955, in Italy.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Wow! Did he come out with a beard?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- That's extraordinary. - Yeah.- Wow!
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Wow!- Wo-hoy!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Ah!- "It's a man!"
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Thank you very much. Now, Ruth, welcome to Pointless.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44- Thank you.- Lovely to have you here.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49- What do you do, Ruth?- I'm chair of governors at a primary school and
0:05:49 > 0:05:53I run a lunch club for the over-60s at church.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Both of those are wonderful things.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56How long have you been chairman of the governors?
0:05:56 > 0:06:01Since January at this school and then two years at a previous school.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Right. So you are keeping everyone in order.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Pretty much.- Yes.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- Yeah.- Are the governors generally drawn from the parents or...?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11You have a couple of parent governors and then others,
0:06:11 > 0:06:15because it's a church school, from the diocese and just local area.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17I see. Well, that's fun.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- It is.- Keeps your hand in. Have you got kids at the school?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Not any more. They left and I didn't, really.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24I see!
0:06:24 > 0:06:26That's nice. It's a nice school, though.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- I love it.- Very good indeed.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Now, Ruth, how are you finding this board behind me?
0:06:31 > 0:06:36I know them all, it's just which one is going to score less than 90.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Yes.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41I think I will go for grain used
0:06:41 > 0:06:43for food - cereal.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Cereal, says Ruth.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Let's see how many of our 100 people went for cereal.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53It's right. 90 is our only score so far, and you've passed that
0:06:53 > 0:06:55quite comfortably.
0:06:55 > 0:06:5637 for cereal.
0:07:00 > 0:07:06Now, the world's largest bowl of cereal was over 2,000 pounds.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09It was an 8ft bowl of cornflakes.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Made it in Johannesburg.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13That is baffling.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17That's what it is. It was eaten by a small Italian child.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Not THAT small.- I assume they did it for a record attempt.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I assume it wasn't just someone's breakfast.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27The cornflakes at the bottom are going to be quite soggy.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28- SO soggy.- So soggy.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Can you imagine? Imagine the milk you'd need.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I know. There you are.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Thank you, Richard. Now, Ann.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Welcome to Pointless.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- Hello.- Great to have you here. What do you do in Watford, Ann?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Actually, I work in Hatfield but I'm an administrator
0:07:45 > 0:07:50in a pharmaceutical company in the learning and development section.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Very good indeed, and what do you like getting up to for fun?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Oh, tennis is my love. - Is it?- Yes, it is.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59And you play? Are you in a doubles tennis partnership or are you...?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- I am, I play doubles... - Yeah.- And it's mixed doubles.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- Mixed doubles.- So, I play socially and in the local league as well.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Socially but maybe fiercely competitively.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- I've never come across anyone who plays mixed doubles who doesn't take it very seriously.- No, serious.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Very serious. Absolutely right.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18But Robert is not my partner.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20OK. Oh, Robert!
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Just look at her throwing salt into the wounds there!
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Ann, our homophones here.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Yeah, I know a couple of them.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34I think I will go for the avoiding work or being lazy,
0:08:34 > 0:08:36and say idle.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Idle, says Ann.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Idle, let's see how many of our 100 people went for idle.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46It's right. 90 is the high score, which you pass. 37 is our low.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Where will you end up in relation to that?
0:08:48 > 0:08:49You pass it, look at that! 33.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53A new low - which I mean in a good way!
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- 33.- That's another very good answer, yes.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Very well played.- There we go.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Now, Shaun. Welcome back to Pointless.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Remind us what you do, Shaun.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05I'm a professional squash player.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06What about that? Professional...
0:09:06 > 0:09:09AUDIENCE: Oooh! Yes, exactly.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14And just give us a resume of your squash career to date, Shaun.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19So, I've played professionally for sort of nine years,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22and my highest world ranking is 37.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24What are the big tournaments in squash?
0:09:24 > 0:09:28There's sort of eight major championships throughout the year,
0:09:28 > 0:09:31with the biggest being the World Championships.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- Where does that take place? - It moves.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Yeah, it moves, so all over the world.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38When's the next big World Championship?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- Next year.- Next year.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Well, very best of luck for that, Shaun.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Hoping to get your world ranking up...
0:09:45 > 0:09:48What do you reckon? Top ten?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- Come on, Shaun! - I'd like to go top ten, yeah.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- That would be good, but... - Well, we will be following you.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Actually, we really will. We've never had a professional
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- squash player on.- We've never had a professional squash player.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01It's exciting. What would you like to go for on this board? It is all yours, this board,
0:10:01 > 0:10:04so if you wanted to go through it and fill in all our blanks...
0:10:04 > 0:10:07I think I know three out of the last four.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09The top one, medal.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Physical power is muscle.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15And steel, the last one.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I think I'm going to go... I think I'm going to go with muscle,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20for physical power or strength.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21OK, muscle, says Shaun.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Let's see how many of our 100 people said muscle.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29It's right.
0:10:31 > 0:10:3451 for muscle. Not bad.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Chose very wisely. It's the best answer of the ones that were left
0:10:39 > 0:10:43on the board, so well played. We'd already had the best two answers of the round, with 33 and 37.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Everything else is a bigger scorer. Medal, at the top, as you say.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Medal and meddle. That would have scored 70.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53We go down the bottom, you were right about steal and steel.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54That would have scored 66.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56And the last one is...
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- Tax.- Tacks and tax.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00And that would have scored 81.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Thank you very much, Richard. We are halfway through our first round.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05So, let's take a quick look at our scores.
0:11:05 > 0:11:0833, Ann, very well done, the best score of that pass.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Then we travel up to 37, Ruth and Jenny.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Looking pretty strong as contenders for Round Two at this point.
0:11:14 > 0:11:1551, Shaun and Ryan.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17And then 90, Sophie and Charlotte.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20So, Charlotte, a bit of pressure on you to find a nice low score
0:11:20 > 0:11:22in the next pass. Good luck with that.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:11:28 > 0:11:32OK. Let's put seven more pairs of definitions up on the board, and here they come.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33We have got...
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I'm going to read those one last time.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Now, Ryan. Welcome back to Pointless.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40Remind us what you do, Ryan.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43I'm a geography teacher in a school in Leeds.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46That's right. And your interests, Ryan?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Playing golf on a weekend in my spare time.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Sometimes competitively against Shaun.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55I've got a five handicap, so...
0:12:55 > 0:12:58And travelling as well. Being a geography teacher, so...
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Perfect for a... That is...
0:13:00 > 0:13:01All work-relevant, isn't it?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04I mean, travel. Now, Ryan, there you are.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07You are on 51. If you could score 38 or less,
0:13:07 > 0:13:09you are definitely in the next round.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11I know a few.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I'm going to go with the Scottish and Gaelic word for lake,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16and the mechanism for keeping a door...
0:13:16 > 0:13:20So a lock. Lock, says Ryan.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Lock. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24There is your red line.
0:13:29 > 0:13:3067 for lock.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Takes your total up to 118.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Did you see that story recently where they sent the sonar down
0:13:36 > 0:13:39to the bottom of Loch Ness to look for Nessie, and they found a shape
0:13:39 > 0:13:41that was exactly the shape they were looking for?
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Exactly the shape of a monster.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45And they realised it was a model from a film about
0:13:45 > 0:13:48the Loch Ness Monster that they made there years ago, that had gone to the bottom of the loch.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51I think that's still proof that it exists.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52- Yeah?- There you are. Brilliant.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Now, Robert. Welcome to Pointless.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Good to have you here. From Watford? - Yes.- What do you do, Robert?
0:13:57 > 0:14:02I am a merchandiser, which basically means I deal with stock
0:14:02 > 0:14:03- for a large retailer.- I see.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06What kind of stock? Clothing or...?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08No, this is electricals, electrical stock.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13So I manage a team of planners, who order the stock from suppliers,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16make sure it's available for customers to buy in the shops
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- and online.- OK. And what are your interests, Robert?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22So I am part of two drama groups.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25One of them being a musical group and another one doing serious drama.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- And also playing tennis.- Excellent. Which do you prefer -
0:14:28 > 0:14:31the musical group or the serious drama? Come on, seriously, Robert.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- The musical group.- The musical group, of course. Anyway, there you are. You are on 33.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36If you can score 84 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39I would have thought that's fairly nice and simple, Robert.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40What do you think?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Um, so, I think I'm going to go for...
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Lift or move to a higher position or level,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- and say raise. - Raise, says Robert.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Here is your red line.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Nice and high. If you can get below that red line with raise,
0:14:54 > 0:14:56you are through to the next round.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01It's right.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02And you are through. Very well done.
0:15:03 > 0:15:0651 is your score, taking your total up to 84.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Well played, Robert.- Yeah, raise with an S and raze with a Z.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Jenny. A warm welcome to Pointless.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Great to have you here, Jenny. What do you do?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Obviously, I'm retired.
0:15:19 > 0:15:25I work quite a lot for the church in our village and I'm also president
0:15:25 > 0:15:27of our village Women's Institute -
0:15:27 > 0:15:30if we really have got some WI members here.
0:15:30 > 0:15:37And I also sing in the local choral society and we've got our concert
0:15:37 > 0:15:39coming up this weekend.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42That's fun. Wow! You were allowed time off to come and play Pointless.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- Yes.- What are you singing this weekend?
0:15:44 > 0:15:48We are doing opera choruses. It's a light programme this time.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- That's fun.- We have a lot of varied stuff.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52How often do you put on concerts?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Oh, several times a year.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59Three sort of main concerts and other opportunities for singing.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Wonderful. And do you meet weekly?
0:16:01 > 0:16:02- Yes.- That's great.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04I'm hoping I shall get back in time
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- to go to choir for this evening. - I hope so.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- Maybe with a trophy to show off. - Well...- Let's hope.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Who knows? I don't know about that. - Well, now, Jenny, very best of luck.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15You are on 37. If you could score 80 or less...
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Yes.- ..you're through.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Well, there's one or two that are possible but I'm not going to take
0:16:21 > 0:16:23a risk, and so consequently,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26I'm going to go for what I'm sure is the highest answer,
0:16:26 > 0:16:29the bottom one. Having little physical strength or energy,
0:16:29 > 0:16:31a period of seven days - week.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- OK.- And that's my answer, which is weak, I'm afraid!
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Jenny, here is your red line.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38- It's nice and high.- Yes.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- I know, but...- Let's see how far down the column we get with week.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Not bad. Not bad at all.
0:16:48 > 0:16:5284 for week, taking your total up to 121.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Yes, 16 of our 100, going,
0:16:56 > 0:16:59"A period of seven days, a period of..."
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Well, it depends when it starts.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Charlotte, welcome to Pointless.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- Thank you.- Here from Sheffield. What do you do, Charlotte?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I work in a law firm in Sheffield.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- In what capacity? - I'm a conflicts assistant.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14A conflicts assistant.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Yes.- That's where you NEED an assistant, right?
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Yeah. In a conflict. Absolutely.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- What does that mean?- I deal with conflicts of interest for the firm,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- basically.- Right, I see.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25So they can't exactly represent somebody that they're then
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- adverse to elsewhere.- Ah, so this is to do with signing up to people, getting clients,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- I see.- Yes.- You have to make sure you're not going to have any conflict of interest
0:17:32 > 0:17:34- further down the line.- Yes.- And what are your interests, Charlotte?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I like shopping, I go to the cinema.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38I like travelling as well.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Excellent. Now, homophones.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Do you want to go through all the ones we haven't yet answered?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I would if I could. I think the top one, I don't know,
0:17:45 > 0:17:46I could have gone gate,
0:17:46 > 0:17:49maybe but I don't know if that is a person's manner of walking.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Race of brown bear, I would guess grizzly.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54But then I don't know if that's causing horror or disgust.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57No idea about the hot tasting paste.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00And then not decorated or elaborate, maybe plain.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I don't know. So I'm just going to have to take a punt at one of them.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06And go for gate, the top one.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Gate, says Charlotte. Now, here is your red line.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13If you get below that red line, you are through to the next round.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Let's see how many of our 100 people said gate.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20It's right.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23Ooh, 71.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Takes your total up to 161.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28Good news on podium two.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Yeah, they studied the gait of all the top Russian leaders and they all
0:18:31 > 0:18:34walk in the same way. It's a KGB way of training you to walk,
0:18:34 > 0:18:37which is you swing your left arm normally but your right arm,
0:18:37 > 0:18:39you swing very close to your body.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Do I look like I'm in the KGB now?
0:18:43 > 0:18:44You really do, yeah.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Now, let's fill in the rest of these ones, shall we?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- Causing horror or disgust... - Grisly.- Something is grisly
0:18:50 > 0:18:52or it's a grizzly.
0:18:52 > 0:18:5335 points for that.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Not decorated or elaborate.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Plain or plane.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Plane of a surface. The best answer, the nicest answer as well,
0:19:00 > 0:19:02this last one. Did you get this one?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04You'll kick yourself when I tell you.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- Mustered and mustard. - Oh, no!- Yeah.- That's brilliant!
0:19:09 > 0:19:1020 points for that.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- Mustered! Oh, yes. - Mustard and mustered.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Thank you very much indeed.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Well, we are at the end of our first round and I'm sorry to say, the pair
0:19:18 > 0:19:21we have to send home with a high score of 161, Charlotte and Sophie,
0:19:21 > 0:19:25'tis you. But we'll see you again next time and I'm sure you'll go much, much further then.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28But meantime, thank you very much for playing. Charlotte and Sophie.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41And so suddenly we are down to three pairs, and at the end of this round,
0:19:41 > 0:19:42we will be down to two pairs.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44That's just the rules, I'm afraid.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47But, well done, everyone, for making it through Round One.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:19:54 > 0:19:55who's going to go second?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04OK. And the question concerns...
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- Richard.- Yes, it's fun, this one. We are going to show you 16 pictures
0:20:13 > 0:20:16of famous people who have items of food or drink in their names.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20Can you tell us who they are, please? Very best of luck.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Thank you very much. Let's put up this image.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25The image will stay up for the whole round.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Let's see who is on the image.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29There we are.
0:20:29 > 0:20:3316 people with food or drink in their names.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Jenny.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Oh, this is the sort of round I dread
0:20:37 > 0:20:41and I didn't actually mean to go first on it.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43But that wouldn't have made any difference.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44I think better to go first, Jenny.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Well, yes. Because the only person...
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Ah, yes!
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Oh, now, I'm not quite positive about her first name.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58I'll have to... Condoleezza Rice.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Condoleezza Rice, says Jenny.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03There we are. A good staple for any store cupboard.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Condoleezza Rice.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10It's absolutely right.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18That is a very, very good answer!
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Well done, Jenny.
0:21:20 > 0:21:229 for Condoleezza Rice.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Yes, she was Secretary of State under George W Bush.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28She wanted to be a concert pianist at one point,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31and she did a private recital for the Queen when they came over.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33She did a private recital at Buckingham Palace.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- That's impressive, isn't it?- That is very impressive. There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Robert.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Robert, who would you like to go for on this board?
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Hmm. There's a few...
0:21:47 > 0:21:50There's more I don't know than I do know.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52It's quite tough, isn't it? You see lots of people you recognise.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- It's like being at a wedding.- Yes, it is.- You dread them coming over!
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- "Oh, I can't remember their names!" - There's a few that I recognise
0:21:58 > 0:22:02and I can't think of their names. I think I'm going to go for...
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Vanilla Ice.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05Vanilla Ice.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07It's JUST like a wedding!
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Vanilla Ice.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17It's right. Well, 9 is our only score at this point.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Vanilla Ice...
0:22:21 > 0:22:23..stops at 10.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29Yeah, he was once world-ranked number six in jet-ski racing,
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Vanilla ice. How about that?
0:22:31 > 0:22:36- Really?- Yes. Robert Van Winkle is his real name.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Thank you very much, Richard.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Now then, Shaun.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44I was actually going to go for Vanilla Ice.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48But I'll go, I think, Sugar Ray Leonard.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Sugar Ray Leonard, says Shaun.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Sugar Ray Leonard.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Well, 10 is the high score. 9 is the low.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Sugar Ray Leonard passes them both. 6, there we are!
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Very well done indeed. Lovely new low score there.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Great answer, Shaun. Very well played.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13What a fighter he was. Probably one of the greatest boxing fights
0:23:13 > 0:23:16of all time when he defeated Marvin Hagler in 1987, Sugar Ray Leonard.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Fantastic. Thank you. We are halfway through the round. Let's take a look
0:23:21 > 0:23:24at the scores before we come back down the line. 6, the best score of the pass.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Well done, Shaun. 9 is where we find Jenny and Ruth, and then
0:23:27 > 0:23:2910, Robert and Ann. All nice and close together.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33We are going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38OK, now, Ryan.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Here are all our 16 who share their names with foodstuffs.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45There's more that I don't know than I do.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Um, I'm going to take a punt on Sean Bean.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49- Sean Bean...- Yeah.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52..says Ryan. Now, here is your red line.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54If you can get below that red line with Sean Bean,
0:23:54 > 0:23:56you would definitely be in the head-to-head.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58How many people said Sean Bean?
0:24:01 > 0:24:02It's right.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Yes, I feared something like that might happen.
0:24:07 > 0:24:1042 for Sean Bean. A popular choice there.
0:24:10 > 0:24:1248 is your total.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Yeah, Sean Bean. Non-English speakers,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17it must blow their minds how we pronounce his name.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Because it's spelt... Why is that not...? Seen Bonn?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Shaun Born, Seen Bean.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24But Sean Bean, you think, "Come on!"
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- I know.- Honestly, some people must just give up learning English
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- when they see his name.- Yeah. Thanks very much, Richard. Now,
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Ann. Phew-ee! You were the high-scorers not a moment ago.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Now the high-scorers are Ryan and Shaun, 48.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40You're on 10. 37 or less keeps you in the game.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42There's a few that I know...
0:24:42 > 0:24:47- Yes.- And I can either sort of play it what I think is fairly safe
0:24:47 > 0:24:51or I can go with the face that is just drawing me to it,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54and I want to say it, so I don't know what to do.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I'm going to go for...
0:24:57 > 0:25:01- Basil Rathbone. - Basil Rathbone, says Ann.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Here is your red line. If you get below that with Basil Rathbone,
0:25:03 > 0:25:06you are through to the next round. How many people said it?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11It's right, Ann.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Look at that. Down it goes.
0:25:15 > 0:25:1710 for Basil Rathbone.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Very well done indeed. Takes your total up to 20.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Very well done, Ann. Sometimes worth taking that risk.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Oscar-nominated twice, Basil Rathbone,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29- but never for Sherlock Holmes. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Now then, Ruth.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33I was pinning all my hopes on Basil Rathbone!
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Oh, no!
0:25:35 > 0:25:37You could do some talking through the board, I think.
0:25:37 > 0:25:43Being a child of the '80s, I know John Candy and Meat Loaf
0:25:43 > 0:25:45and Kevin Bacon.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49I feel like I SHOULD know the kind of the black and white actresses.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Michael Fish, obviously.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55I'm going to say Tim Curry.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57You're going to go for Tim Curry.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Here is your red line. If you can get below that with Tim Curry,
0:26:00 > 0:26:01you are into the head-to-head.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Let's see how many of our 100 people said Tim Curry.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08It's right.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Very well done indeed. Look at that, Ruth,
0:26:14 > 0:26:1613!
0:26:16 > 0:26:1922 is your total. VERY good.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Well done, Ruth. Better answer than any of the others you mentioned
0:26:22 > 0:26:24as well. So a very good choice, Tim Curry.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26There he is - bottom row, second in from the left.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Now, shall we start from top-left?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Ginger Rogers.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Would have scored you 6 points.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Then there's John Candy, would have scored you 29.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- Now, the first run on the second row.- Chuck Berry.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Chuck Berry. Yeah. What have scored 12 points.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Next to Sean Bean, here's a pointless answer.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Sean Penn played him in a film.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46It's Harvey Milk. Very well done if you said that, pointless answer.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Next row down, as you say, Kevin Bacon.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49He would have scored you 49.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Next to Kevin Bacon, it is George Clooney's aunt, Rosemary Clooney.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55And she would have scored you 1 point.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Next to Sugar Ray Leonard, she won the Best Actress Oscar in 2016...
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- Brie Larson.- Brie Larson, yeah.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Would have scored you 1 point. And another pointless answer
0:27:04 > 0:27:07on the bottom row there. It's the actor, Saffron Burrows.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Pointless answer. Then Meat Loaf would have scored you 23.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13And then Michael Fish, he would have scored you 26.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So, we are at the end of our second round.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20The pair we have to say goodbye to, with their high score of 48, Ryan and Shaun.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22I'm so sorry. It's been Round Two both times.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25There was a space for you in the head-to-head, I was quite certain,
0:27:25 > 0:27:27this time round. But I'm afraid it's not to be.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30It's been great having you on both shows. Thanks so much for playing. Ryan and Shaun.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- Thank you.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:27:33 > 0:27:37But for the our remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Congratulations, Ann and Robert, Ruth and Jenny,
0:27:44 > 0:27:47you are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our
0:27:47 > 0:27:50jackpot, which currently stands at £1,000.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Well, this is fun. We've arrived at the head-to-head,
0:27:53 > 0:27:55which means you can start playing as teams.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57You can confer before you give your answers, and the first players
0:27:57 > 0:28:00to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Anyway, best of luck to both pairs. Let's play this head-to-head.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- Richard.- Yeah, five clues now to metals that you'd find
0:28:17 > 0:28:20on the periodic table but can you name the metals, please?
0:28:20 > 0:28:24Thank you very much. Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27We've got...
0:28:27 > 0:28:29HE READS THE CLUES
0:28:47 > 0:28:48I'll read those all again.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Ann and Robert, you are our low-scorers, so you will go first.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13THEY CONFER
0:29:27 > 0:29:31We'll go with the metal with the symbol Hg,
0:29:31 > 0:29:35- and we'll go with mercury. - Mercury, say Ann and Robert, for Hg.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Now then, Ruth and Jenny, that board is all yours.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Do you feel like talking us through it and filling in the blanks?
0:29:40 > 0:29:42My son is doing chemistry revision
0:29:42 > 0:29:45and he's been going through this with us,
0:29:45 > 0:29:48but we said we don't want chemistry, but...!
0:29:48 > 0:29:52- XANDER CHUCKLES - ..we think the top one is copper.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56O, we think might be osmium.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00Mercury... Gold at the bottom.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03The wolfram might be... you said tungsten.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Just a vague idea, but I wouldn't go for that.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- We'll go for...- We'll go with copper.- Yeah, the top one.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Copper for verdigris. So, we have mercury and we have copper.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Now, then, Ann and Robert said mercury for Hg.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21It's right.
0:30:21 > 0:30:22Ooh! 86 for mercury.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24That's a high score.
0:30:26 > 0:30:32Meanwhile, Ruth and Jenny have gone for copper for the top one.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34The atomic number 29. Let's see if that's right,
0:30:34 > 0:30:36let's see how many of our 100 people said copper.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40It is copper,
0:30:40 > 0:30:42and it wins you the point, more importantly.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46There we go, down to 28.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Very well done indeed, Ruth and Jenny.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54Yeah, very well played. Talking of me, O is osmium.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57And it would have scored you 10 points.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58You can tell it's named after me
0:30:58 > 0:31:01because it's incredibly dense and hard to work with!
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Jenny, you are absolutely right about wolfram, it is tungsten.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- Would have scored you 17 points. - That's a good name -
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- Wolfram Tungsten.- Wolfram Tungsten, that's a LOVELY name.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14- Wolfram.- If your surname was Tungsten, call your son Wolfram.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18And in the Bible, the Magi brought gold.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Course they did. And that would have scored 77.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25Thank you very much indeed. So here comes your second question.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Ann and Robert, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Ruth and Jenny pinched that one.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31You should have had the advantage there.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33But they turned it to THEIR advantage.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35So, good luck with this because Ruth and Jenny will answer it first.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39Our second question today is all about...
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- Richard.- We are going to show you five outlines of different
0:31:44 > 0:31:47European countries but can you name the countries, please?
0:31:47 > 0:31:49They are not to scale.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50Oh, right. Not to scale.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53So, smaller countries and bigger countries will appear the same size.
0:31:53 > 0:31:54Very good. Not to scale,
0:31:54 > 0:31:56but let's have a look at these outlines, and here they come.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57We have got...
0:32:23 > 0:32:28There we go. Outlines of European countries.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Now then, Ruth and Jenny will go first on this one.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34THEY WHISPER
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Ooh.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42OK.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44This is shocking.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46What do we think it is?
0:32:46 > 0:32:49I think it's Norway.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51We think B is Norway.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Norway, say Ruth and Jenny for B.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Now then, Ann and Robert.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Do you want to talk us through that board?
0:33:00 > 0:33:06Well, we think A might be Greenland or Iceland.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09One of them. C is France.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12E is Greece.
0:33:12 > 0:33:13We think.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16And D, I think...is Spain.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19I think we are going to go with Spain.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- D for Spain.- D, Spain.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24So, we have Norway and Spain.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Ruth and Jenny said B was Norway.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people went for Norway.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33It's right.
0:33:37 > 0:33:3830.
0:33:41 > 0:33:4230 for Norway.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Meanwhile, Ann and Robert have said that D is Spain.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said Spain.
0:33:53 > 0:33:54It IS Spain. Good answer.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Oh, no. 40 for Spain!
0:34:01 > 0:34:03That was a great answer, Ann and Robert,
0:34:03 > 0:34:06but I'm afraid you were pipped by Norway, which means, Ruth and Jenny,
0:34:06 > 0:34:09after only two questions, you're straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13Yes, it's interesting this round, isn't it? Norway normally has
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Sweden next to it and Spain has normally got Portugal
0:34:15 > 0:34:17filling in that little gap there.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20A... What do you think you would have gone for
0:34:20 > 0:34:22if you were forced to go for A?
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- Iceland.- Iceland is the right answer.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25It would have won you the point as well.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27It would have scored you 25.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30C is France.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32That's the biggest scorer up there.
0:34:32 > 0:34:3458 points for that.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Now, E is the best answer on the board.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40It's not Greece. Over 1,000 islands in this country.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42And it's Croatia.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44- Ah!- Very well done if you said that.
0:34:44 > 0:34:45Would have scored you 5 points.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- Terrific answer.- Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Well, we have come to the end of our head-to-head round,
0:34:51 > 0:34:54and I'm afraid to say, Ann and Robert, our low-scoring pair,
0:34:54 > 0:34:59who came into this with all guns blazing, I'm afraid Ruth and Jenny,
0:34:59 > 0:35:01they pipped it out from under your noses, I'm afraid there.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Which means we have to say goodbye to you now, but the good news is
0:35:04 > 0:35:05we get to see you again next time, which is great.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Otherwise it would all have been over in just one show.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11We'll see you next time, looking forward to that. Ann and Robert.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12APPLAUSE
0:35:15 > 0:35:18But for Ruth and Jenny, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Well, congratulations, Ruth and Jenny.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27You've seen off all the competition and you have won
0:35:27 > 0:35:29our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:29 > 0:35:30Yay!
0:35:35 > 0:35:37You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,000.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44Well, four things will appear on the board, you just have to hope
0:35:44 > 0:35:47something looks not too bad.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Our selection today looks like this. We have got...
0:35:55 > 0:35:58I shall be no good on Directing Robs And Roberts.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00- But are you good on anything else? - No. Probably not.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Well, Russia could be all sorts...
0:36:03 > 0:36:05I don't know. I mean, Fashion, no.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09Dreams, hopeless. Yeah, go on. It's all up to you, Ruth.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12No pressure. Directing Robs And Roberts.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15- Directing Robs and Roberts. Richard.- OK, very best of luck.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19We are looking for any feature film made for cinema release up to
0:36:19 > 0:36:22March 2016, please, by any of the following three Robs and Roberts.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33So, any feature film made for cinema, released in the UK
0:36:33 > 0:36:35up to March 2016, please,
0:36:35 > 0:36:38by Rob Reiner, Robert Wise or Robert Rodriguez.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- Very best of luck.- OK, now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:36:41 > 0:36:44to come up with three answers and all you need to win that jackpot
0:36:44 > 0:36:47is for just one of your answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:36:47 > 0:36:49- Yes.- Good.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:51 > 0:36:52There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55OK, Robert Rodriguez, no idea.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Robert Wise, obviously did Sound Of Music.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Did he do anything else from that kind of era?
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- Any other musicals? Oklahoma?- I've no idea.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05- OK.- I'm hopeless on this.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09Rob Reiner might have done something like Working Girl.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13I think he's kind of '70s, '80s, I'm thinking big hair.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16But I really don't know.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19None of them directed Cary Grant.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- LAUGHTER - Rob Reiner...
0:37:22 > 0:37:25You see, I'm thinking GREG Wise...
0:37:25 > 0:37:26No, that doesn't help!
0:37:28 > 0:37:30So, Robert Wise was The Sound Of Music...
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Oklahoma... Oh, Rob Reiner...
0:37:37 > 0:37:38Working Girl...
0:37:38 > 0:37:43Or...it wasn't When Harry Met Sally, because that was Nora Ephron.
0:37:43 > 0:37:44Um...
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Oh, I might just have to throw in
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House by Cary Grant,
0:37:50 > 0:37:52just to get it out there.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54That, I'm afraid, is your time up.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- I'm so sorry.- Doesn't it go quickly?
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Doesn't it? What are you going to go for?
0:37:59 > 0:38:04Oh, we are going to go for Films Directed By Robert Wise -
0:38:04 > 0:38:06- The Sound Of Music. - The Sound Of Music.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10Films Directed By Rob Reiner - Working Girl.
0:38:10 > 0:38:16- Working Girl.- And films starring Cary Grant, directed by Rob Reiner,
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House!
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House. - Because you never know.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25Because you never do. Sometimes you do. But, no, you never do.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:28 > 0:38:29None of them. Working Girl.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31- Working Girl. - Working Girl goes last.
0:38:31 > 0:38:32Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- Mr Blandings. - Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37- Sound Of Music... - Sound Of Music in the middle.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then,
0:38:40 > 0:38:42and here they are.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51Well, three answers on the board. ONE of them is definitely right!
0:38:51 > 0:38:55Now, if one of those turns out to be pointless,
0:38:55 > 0:38:57what would you do with your winnings, Ruth?
0:38:57 > 0:39:01We are going to America for our summer holiday and we want to go
0:39:01 > 0:39:04to Broadway, go and see a show on Broadway,
0:39:04 > 0:39:08so we would spend probably all the money on the tickets.
0:39:08 > 0:39:13- Very good. Have you decided what you want to go and see?- An American In Paris.- Wonderful. Wonderful.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Jenny, anything you'd like to add to that?
0:39:15 > 0:39:20Well, I would take the whole family out for a meal, a celebration meal,
0:39:20 > 0:39:24and if there's any money left over after that,
0:39:24 > 0:39:27I'm going on a cruise later on, and I think I'll treat myself
0:39:27 > 0:39:31to a spa treatment or something extra while I'm on my cruise.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Lovely. OK. Well, very, very best of luck.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Three answers on the board. Let's hope one of them is pointless.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Wouldn't that be nice? Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House was your first answer.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42In this case, we were looking for Rob Reiner films.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45And we just put it in there because why not?
0:39:45 > 0:39:47- Why not?- Let's find out. It has to be right, obviously.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Then it has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54So, let's see what happens when we say Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House.
0:39:56 > 0:40:01- No, I'm afraid not a Rob Reiner piece.- I think it's Frank Capra.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Your next answer is The Sound Of Music.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09In this case, we were looking for Robert Wise films.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12This has to be correct, then it has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Let's see how many people said The Sound Of Music for Robert Wise.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21It's right. Well, Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House, I'm afraid,
0:40:21 > 0:40:23was not a Rob Reiner film.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25The Sound Of Music most definitely is a Robert Wise film.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Down we go. Through the teens.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28Into single figures.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Not quite into single figures.
0:40:30 > 0:40:3110! Look at that.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34That's a good score.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Annoyingly, in this round, we only accept pointless answers, though.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41But how did 90 people not know?
0:40:41 > 0:40:42- Well...- Well, I'm one of them.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44There we are!
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Well, your third and final answer was Working Girl.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50And in this case we were looking for another Rob Reiner film.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Again, it has to be right and it has to be pointless for you to win,
0:40:53 > 0:40:57so let's find out, for £1,000, how many people said Working Girl.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02No, I'm sorry.
0:41:02 > 0:41:08Bad luck. That was a tough category, but it was a game attempt.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:12 > 0:41:14so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16That will therefore roll over onto the next show.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19But it's been great having you here. Really strong performance,
0:41:19 > 0:41:21across the show and in the head-to-head round.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24There we were. What about that? 2-0. A very decisive victory.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27And in recognition of all of that, you get to take home
0:41:27 > 0:41:29a Pointless trophy each, which is a great pleasure.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31I'm sorry we can't send you home with the jackpot as well.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33But thank you so much. Ruth and Jenny.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43Yeah, Working Girl was Mike Nichols and Mr Blandings was HC Potter.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Rob Reiner, I have to say, some of the greatest films of all time,
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Rob Reiner has made. Let's take a look at his pointless answers first.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54A Few Good Men, pointless answer, the Jack Nicholson movie.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Misery, also, the Stephen King adaptation, is a pointless answer.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Rumour Has It... The Aaron Sorkin scripted
0:42:00 > 0:42:02the American President - also a pointless answer.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05The only ones that scored points for Rob Reiner - When Harry Met Sally,
0:42:05 > 0:42:06he did direct it, Nora Ephron wrote the script.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08The Princess Bride scored points.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10This Is Spinal Tap scored points as well.
0:42:10 > 0:42:11And Stand By Me.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15Just four of the greatest movies of all time, I would say, Rob Reiner.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Let's move on to Robert Wise now.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Run Silent, Run Deep, with Clark Gable - not Cary Grant,
