0:00:17 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE

0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,

0:00:24 > 0:00:28the show where we are always striving to find the most obscure answers.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32APPLAUSE

0:00:34 > 0:00:35And couple number one.

0:00:35 > 0:00:39- Hi, I'm Steve, this is Oktiva, we're from Newcastle.- Hello.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Leanne, and this is my husband, David,

0:00:41 > 0:00:44- and we're from Livingston. - Couple number three.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Vicki, this is my friend and neighbour George,

0:00:46 > 0:00:50- and we're from Barnsley. - And finally, couple number four.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hi, my name is Oli, this is my partner, Naomi.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55- Coming in from Dorset. - And these are today's contestants.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57APPLAUSE

0:00:57 > 0:01:00Thanks very much, all of you. A warm welcome to the show, great to have you here.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show as it goes along,

0:01:03 > 0:01:06so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10The keystone in our Keystone Cops, it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13- Hiya. Hey, everybody. - APPLAUSE

0:01:13 > 0:01:14Good afternoon.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Good afternoon to you, sir. - Good afternoon.- How are you?

0:01:18 > 0:01:20- I'm very well, thank you. - That's good.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23We've got two good returning pairs from the last show.

0:01:23 > 0:01:24They did very well, both pairs.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27Leanne and David, who got through to the head-to-head, and George

0:01:27 > 0:01:30and Vicki, who did very well in Round One, less well in Round Two.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32But I think they're both going to be tough to beat,

0:01:32 > 0:01:35so tough for our newcomers.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38But Round One, the sort of thing that people are always asking for.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41- I think people will like it. - Oh, good.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44- I think good for all the family, Round One.- OK.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48I think it's the sort of round where kids can be adults.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Possibly.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Our favourite...- Depending on the quality of the adult.- OK.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54LAUGHTER Thank you very much indeed.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58Now, Ann and Robert didn't win our jackpot last time, which means we add another £1,000 to that,

0:01:58 > 0:02:01so today's jackpot starts off at £3,000.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03There we are, building nicely.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05APPLAUSE

0:02:05 > 0:02:09OK, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11APPLAUSE

0:02:13 > 0:02:16So, remember, the pair with the highest score at the end of

0:02:16 > 0:02:18each round will be eliminated. That's all you have to remember.

0:02:18 > 0:02:22Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category today is...

0:02:25 > 0:02:28Children's Films. Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going to go first,

0:02:28 > 0:02:30who's going to go second?

0:02:30 > 0:02:33And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38OK, and the question concerns...

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Excellent. Richard.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Yeah, on each board, we're going to show you seven sets of

0:02:47 > 0:02:49characters from a Disney or Pixar film.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52You just need to tell us the name of the film, please.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Seven on the first board, seven on the second.

0:02:54 > 0:02:58- Let battle begin at home. - Thank you very much indeed.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02So, let's reveal our first set of Disney or Pixar characters,

0:03:02 > 0:03:04and here they are.

0:03:04 > 0:03:05We have got...

0:03:25 > 0:03:27I'm going to read those again.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41There we are. Oktiva, a warm welcome to Pointless.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44- It's great to have you here, from Newcastle?- Yes.

0:03:44 > 0:03:50- What keeps you busy in Newcastle, Oktiva?- Being a mum to a ten-year-old son.

0:03:50 > 0:03:54- Right.- And I'm working.- Very good indeed. What is your ten-year-old called?- Ryan.

0:03:54 > 0:03:59- Ryan. And Ryan will be watching now, won't he?- I hope so. - I hope so, Ryan.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02Oh, maybe if you don't do well, you won't tell him you were here.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05- Pretend you came down for a city break.- He did ask me the other day.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09"Mum, are you really sure you want to do it? I think you are going to embarrass myself."

0:04:09 > 0:04:13You are never going to embarrass yourself, Oktiva. What are your hobbies?

0:04:13 > 0:04:16- Well, I enjoy reading and travelling.- OK, very good.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19How are you feeling about Disney and Pixar films?

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Not very confident, to be honest.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24I think I'm going to have to go for the obvious one,

0:04:24 > 0:04:27which is Olaf, Sven and Marshmallow.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30- Frozen.- Frozen, says Oktiva.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said Frozen.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38It's right.

0:04:40 > 0:04:4138.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43APPLAUSE

0:04:44 > 0:04:47- 38 for Frozen.- Well done, Oktiva.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Now, Frozen's interesting because to a certain generation,

0:04:49 > 0:04:51it's literally ubiquitous.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54My kids are 15 and 17, so it was after my time,

0:04:54 > 0:04:58so my Frozen knowledge, and I know some people would wish they

0:04:58 > 0:05:00were me, I know nothing about it.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02- Never seen it, never had to watch it.- Do you know what...

0:05:02 > 0:05:06- I hear it's great.- It is good, it's a film of huge impact.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10But, actually, Tangled's better.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12- Funnier.- Oh, really?- Frozen...

0:05:12 > 0:05:14The story just doesn't quite...

0:05:14 > 0:05:16There's so many things to enjoy in it, you don't mind too much.

0:05:16 > 0:05:20- But the story, it doesn't quite add up.- Oh, never seen it.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24Never seen it, and until I have grandchildren,

0:05:24 > 0:05:26and give that a couple of years, please...

0:05:26 > 0:05:28LAUGHTER

0:05:28 > 0:05:31- ..I never will.- Yeah, there you go.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35David, welcome back. From Livingston.

0:05:35 > 0:05:36Remind us what you do, David.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39I'm an account manager, I kind of travel around Europe.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43- This is with a steel company. - Yes, steel. Really exciting.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46So, this is steel that is used for what in particular?

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Mainly for the oil and gas industry,

0:05:48 > 0:05:50so for offshore applications and so forth.

0:05:50 > 0:05:55- So, pipes and things like that? - Pipes, plates, tubulars. - That's exciting.

0:05:55 > 0:05:59- Really not.- You get to go to the big oil and gas producers, then?

0:05:59 > 0:06:00To an extent, yeah.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02We go mainly to the kind of fabricators and so forth so,

0:06:02 > 0:06:06so kind of the less glamorous parts of the industry, but still...

0:06:06 > 0:06:08I still get to travel around.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10There we are. David, what would you like to go for?

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Not a bad round, to be honest.

0:06:12 > 0:06:17I'm going to go with Kala, Tantor and Terk, and that's Tarzan.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19Tarzan, says David. Let's see if that's right.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Let's see how many of our 100 people said Tarzan.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26It's right. 38 is our only score at this point.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Tarzan...passes 38. Down it goes.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Still going down...to 2!

0:06:33 > 0:06:34Oh, David!

0:06:38 > 0:06:40- Very well done.- Very good answer.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Yeah, the trademark Tarzan yell in that film is provided

0:06:43 > 0:06:47by Brian Blessed, cos he also plays... He plays the villain in

0:06:47 > 0:06:50- the film, but he provided the Tarzan yell.- Did he?- Yeah.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54- I bet he enjoyed that. - I bet he enjoyed that. Oh!

0:06:54 > 0:06:57I bet they booked him for an hour, and I bet after six hours,

0:06:57 > 0:06:59they were just thinking, "Brian..."

0:06:59 > 0:07:00"I think we've got it now, Brian."

0:07:00 > 0:07:02- "We've probably got it now." - What would he say?

0:07:02 > 0:07:05- "Tell us another story, Brian." - Yeah.

0:07:05 > 0:07:06- What would he say?- Yeah.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09IMPERSONATING: I wonder if I might do one more.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12LAUGHTER

0:07:12 > 0:07:17I don't know. I don't think I've really nailed it.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22There we are. George, welcome back, from Barnsley.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25Now, what do you like getting up to in Barnsley, George?

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Uh... Also, I'm retired now.

0:07:27 > 0:07:31I like watching sport, reading, doing pub quizzes.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33George, so when Vicki said you were neighbours,

0:07:33 > 0:07:35are you absolutely next-door, next-door neighbours?

0:07:35 > 0:07:37No, next-door but one.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41- And whose idea was it to come on the show?- Vicki's.- Mine.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44I wouldn't want to be the neighbour in the middle thinking, "What?!"

0:07:44 > 0:07:46LAUGHTER I know. I know!

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Yeah, why didn't you ask them?

0:07:48 > 0:07:50You don't have to answer that question.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52They've not been there long enough.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57George, what would you like to go for on our board of Disney

0:07:57 > 0:07:58and Pixar characters?

0:07:58 > 0:08:01- Right...- Are you happy with it as a round?

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Let's have a look. Hm, I think so.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07I'll try Sulley, Mike and Celia as Monsters, Inc.

0:08:07 > 0:08:08Monsters, Inc. Fabulous film.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Monsters, Inc.

0:08:14 > 0:08:18Very good indeed. 38's our high score.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20You pass it - 34.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27See, that was far more my kids' generation. I love Monsters, Inc.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Now that's a brilliant film. - That's a very good film.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32That's the beauty of kids' films, they never age as well - there's

0:08:32 > 0:08:35just generation after generation of great films for your kids to watch.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37Yeah. Fabulous.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40Now, Oli, welcome. Good to have you here, sir.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42Well, what do you do?

0:08:42 > 0:08:43I'm a freelance chef.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46I go around doing bits of relief work, summer seasonal work,

0:08:46 > 0:08:49- a bit of event catering. - Now, that's a freelance chef?- Yeah.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51So support chef. You arrive and everyone goes,

0:08:51 > 0:08:53"Oh, Oli's here, it's fine."

0:08:53 > 0:08:56Not quite. You might get a phone call kind of 24 hours beforehand,

0:08:56 > 0:08:59"Need relief chef." Kind of five, seven days.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02Maybe some kitchen management relief. Just be able to go in there

0:09:02 > 0:09:05- and help some people. Keeps it fresh from my side.- You've just got to hit

0:09:05 > 0:09:07- the ground running, haven't you? - Yeah.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Do you bring all your own kit with you?- Yeah, I've got an extended

0:09:09 > 0:09:12tool box with varying bits picked up over the years.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Wow. What's the most exotic tool in your armoury?

0:09:14 > 0:09:16Pff...

0:09:16 > 0:09:20I've got a spectrometer for measuring light refraction

0:09:20 > 0:09:22through sugar solutions for sorbets.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24LAUGHTER

0:09:24 > 0:09:28Do you know, I'm going to put my mind blowtorch back into

0:09:28 > 0:09:31my...mind tool box here.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Forget about that. That's exciting.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35What are your interests outside chefing?

0:09:35 > 0:09:37I like to travel a lot,

0:09:37 > 0:09:40do quite a bit of driving, go out and go diving out in the world,

0:09:40 > 0:09:42different places, a bit of scuba, fire staffing.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Anything that's a little bit kind of different.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Stop right there. Fire staffing?- Yeah.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Four-foot-long scaffolding poles with wicks on the end, soak it

0:09:50 > 0:09:52in paraffin and set it alight.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54- Wow.- Spin it round to your heart's content.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56I'm a fire staffer. Twisted fire staffer.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58LAUGHTER

0:09:58 > 0:10:00So you...you have a spinning burning pole?

0:10:00 > 0:10:02- Yes.- Oh!

0:10:02 > 0:10:04What could possibly go wrong(?)

0:10:04 > 0:10:07- So many things. So many things. - Yeah. Wow. OK, fantastic.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Now, Oli, this is your board. If you want to go through it

0:10:09 > 0:10:12and fill in all the banks, it would be very impressive.

0:10:12 > 0:10:13Well, I think, given the recent release,

0:10:13 > 0:10:16Baloo, Shere Khan and Kaa would be Jungle Book.

0:10:16 > 0:10:20Ariel, Flounder and Sebastian has got to be The Little Mermaid.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Flower, Thumper and Faline, I would say would be Bambi,

0:10:23 > 0:10:25given the date.

0:10:25 > 0:10:26And then Duchess,

0:10:26 > 0:10:29O'Malley and Roquefort is probably Aristocats, I think.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31- I think that's the one I'm going to go for.- OK.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34Aristocats, says Oli. Let's see if that's right.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Let's see how many of our 100 people got it.

0:10:38 > 0:10:43It's right. Well, 38 is still our high score. 2 is our low.

0:10:43 > 0:10:44You passed 38.

0:10:44 > 0:10:4621, there we are. Jolly nice.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Nicely in between.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53That's very nicely done. Not only did you get all of them right,

0:10:53 > 0:10:55you chose the right one as well.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57And actually, well done to all four pairs,

0:10:57 > 0:10:59you chose the best four answers on the board.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02That does not happen very often. The top three answers are all left.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06Baloo, Shere Khan and Kaa - Jungle Book - would have scored...

0:11:06 > 0:11:08This is the biggest score of all. ..85.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12Little Mermaid - for Ariel, Flounder and Sebastian -

0:11:12 > 0:11:13would have scored you 40.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15And Bambi would have scored 51.

0:11:15 > 0:11:16Thanks very much.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18We're halfway through our first round,

0:11:18 > 0:11:20so let's take a quick look at those scores.

0:11:20 > 0:11:222. What about that, David?

0:11:22 > 0:11:25Very well done indeed. Lovely low score.

0:11:25 > 0:11:26Then we travel up to 21,

0:11:26 > 0:11:28where we find Oli and Naomi.

0:11:28 > 0:11:29Then up to 34,

0:11:29 > 0:11:31where we find Vicki and George.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33And 38 is where we find Octiva and Steve.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36You're not way out ahead, Steve, but you know what you have to do -

0:11:36 > 0:11:37a low score to keep yourselves in the game.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Best of luck with that. We come back down the line now.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:11:44 > 0:11:47OK, let's put seven more sets of characters up on the board,

0:11:47 > 0:11:48and here they come.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50We've got...

0:12:10 > 0:12:11I'll read those all again.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Naomi, welcome to Pointless. - Hello.- Great to have you here.

0:12:31 > 0:12:35- What do you do, Naomi?- I'm a sort of assistant manager of my mum's pub,

0:12:35 > 0:12:38- which is in Dorset.- Wow! That's fun. How long have you been doing that?

0:12:38 > 0:12:42- About two years now.- So were you working in it from the beginning?

0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Oh, no, I graduated from university...- Right.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46- ..and then just came down to help her.- See, that's quite nice.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48It was going to be a second gap year,

0:12:48 > 0:12:49but then it got quite extended.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51And then it just turned into life!

0:12:51 > 0:12:53Ha, ha! Have you ever yet had to call in Oli

0:12:53 > 0:12:55to come and be a supply chef?

0:12:55 > 0:12:56That was how we met.

0:12:58 > 0:12:59- At the pub?- Yeah.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01He came in, arrived with the tool box...

0:13:01 > 0:13:03You go, "What's with the tool box, Oli?"

0:13:03 > 0:13:06- And then he opened it up... - Showed me his spectrometer.- Oh!

0:13:06 > 0:13:07And the rest is history.

0:13:09 > 0:13:10There we go.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12And his centrifuge, of course.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15Now, Naomi, what would you like to go for? There you are on 21.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18The high-scorers on 38 are Steve and Octiva.

0:13:18 > 0:13:2116 or less get you through.

0:13:21 > 0:13:26I'm going to go for one that I'm not 100% sure of, but I think is

0:13:26 > 0:13:28maybe right.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31I'm going to go for Tod, Copper and Vixey being

0:13:31 > 0:13:33- The Fox And The Hound. - The Fox And The Hound, says Naomi.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of

0:13:35 > 0:13:37our 100 people said The Fox And The Hound. Here is your red line.

0:13:37 > 0:13:41If you get below that, you are definitely through to Round Two.

0:13:49 > 0:13:53Very well done! Look at that, 7!

0:13:53 > 0:13:57Brilliant. Taking your total up to 28.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00Yeah, Vixey and Tod are foxes and Copper is a dog.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Tim Burton's first job was drawing Vixey.- Really?

0:14:03 > 0:14:06Yeah, he's uncredited for it, but, yeah, that was his first job.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09He said he found it quite... He found it too difficult.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11The style was too different to his own.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14- How extraordinary.- Yeah. - Thank you very much, Richard.

0:14:14 > 0:14:18- Now then, Vicki, welcome back.- Hi. - Great to have you here.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21Remind us what you like getting up to.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24Bespoke crafting, embroidery.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26Now, yes, bespoke, so the embroidery...

0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Do you...? This is sewing that we talked about last time...- Yes.

0:14:29 > 0:14:32..that you do for people as presents and things, and people commission

0:14:32 > 0:14:35various things. What's the most ambitious thing you've done?

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Probably something for my daughter's room,

0:14:37 > 0:14:40- about this big.- That's exciting.

0:14:40 > 0:14:41What did you have on it? What were the...?

0:14:41 > 0:14:46Animals, name, date of birth, things like that.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48- Wonderful.- Like a zoo.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51Lovely. Absolutely beautiful. Now, there you are on 34.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53We need a low score from you.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56Should you score 3 or less, you'd be through to the next round.

0:14:56 > 0:15:01I know three of them, but I'm pretty sure they're all going to be

0:15:01 > 0:15:04quite high, that's the problem.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06So I'd rather be right and hope.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08So I'll go for Lumiere,

0:15:08 > 0:15:12Chip and Cogsworth - Beauty And The Beast.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15Beauty And The Beast, says Vicki. Here is your red line, very low.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17But let's see what happens when we say Beauty And The Beast.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19How far down the column can we get?

0:15:21 > 0:15:22It's right.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29Not bad at all, 22.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32Takes your total up to 56.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34You might have done enough there, Vicki.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Yeah, the voice acting and the singing for the Mandarin version

0:15:37 > 0:15:39of Beauty And The Beast was done by Jackie Chan.

0:15:41 > 0:15:42He can do everything, that guy.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44Jackie Chan, Tim Burton, all these people.

0:15:44 > 0:15:48- I know. They all start somewhere, right?- Yeah. Absolutely.

0:15:48 > 0:15:49Thanks very much indeed.

0:15:49 > 0:15:53- Now, Leanne, what a score from David in the first pass there!- Yep.

0:15:53 > 0:15:54Fantastic.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56That set you up beautifully there.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00So, yes, 53 or less is all you require to find yourselves

0:16:00 > 0:16:03comfortably into Round Two. Leanne, remind us what you do.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05I work as a customer service manager.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08That's right. And what are your interests up there in Livingston?

0:16:08 > 0:16:10What do you like getting up to there?

0:16:10 > 0:16:12- Keep fit, walking the dog. - What kind of dog have you got?

0:16:12 > 0:16:16- I've got a Labrador called Honey. - How old's Honey?- She's seven.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19Very... Gosh, if you are into keeping fit, Honey has no choice

0:16:19 > 0:16:21but to be into keeping fit as well.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24- We usually have a two-hour walk each night.- See, that's good.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26- So she's... - That's very good indeed.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29Now, there you are, on 2.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31What would you like to go for?

0:16:31 > 0:16:33I think they're all going to be quite high,

0:16:33 > 0:16:35and the one that I'm thinking of,

0:16:35 > 0:16:38I'm talking myself out of whether or not it's the right answer.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40But I think Pongo is 101 Dalmatians.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44OK. Pongo, Perdita and Colonel - 101 Dalmatians.

0:16:44 > 0:16:45There's your red line.

0:16:45 > 0:16:49You have to get below that. Let's see if you can with 101 Dalmatians.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53It's right.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57You've done it. Look at that, 40.

0:16:59 > 0:17:0040 takes your total up to 42.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04Yeah, Dodie Smith, the writer of 101 Dalmatians,

0:17:04 > 0:17:07she was given a Dalmatian puppy called Pongo,

0:17:07 > 0:17:10and that inspired her to write the story.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Well, what inspired her was a friend of hers who said that

0:17:12 > 0:17:14Pongo's coat would make a nice fur coat,

0:17:14 > 0:17:17and she thought, "Hold on a minute."

0:17:17 > 0:17:18Interesting.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20Steve. Welcome to Pointless.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Great to have you here from Newcastle.

0:17:22 > 0:17:26- What do you do up in Newcastle? - I work for an IT company.

0:17:26 > 0:17:27- I'm a software engineer.- I see.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30And what do you like doing when not working for IT?

0:17:30 > 0:17:33I like going to music concerts.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36And I like going to football matches.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Very good. Who do you support? - I actually support Reading.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Convenient(!) Good. LAUGHTER

0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Obviously, living in Newcastle. - Yeah.- Why not?- Exactly, why not?

0:17:45 > 0:17:47Where do you like to go and see things?

0:17:47 > 0:17:49I mean, how far afield do you travel with your music?

0:17:49 > 0:17:52Well, there's lots of venues in Newcastle, in Gateshead.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54- Yeah.- But I've been to...

0:17:54 > 0:17:57Go down to Leeds, been down to York.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59- Up to Edinburgh at all? Up to the Playhouse?- Uh...

0:17:59 > 0:18:00I've never seen music up there.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03I went up to the Edinburgh Festival a couple of times

0:18:03 > 0:18:06to see things up there, but pretty much... Because Newcastle...

0:18:06 > 0:18:08- I mean, Newcastle...- When it comes to the north, let's face it.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11It provides everything. You never need to travel.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14- Very fine, Newcastle. You find world-class things.- Exactly.

0:18:14 > 0:18:15There you are.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17OK, now, 38 is your score.

0:18:17 > 0:18:18The high-scorers at the moment

0:18:18 > 0:18:19are Vicki and George on 56.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21This is exciting.

0:18:21 > 0:18:2317 or less is what we require.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26Right. I only know two of the answers.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30I think Abu, Genie and Iago is Aladdin.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Jiminy Cricket, etc, is Pinocchio.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36I've got no idea what Rusty, Ollie and Larry is all about.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39Fairy Godmother... No, I'd be guessing. I don't want to guess.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41So, um...

0:18:41 > 0:18:45I'm going to go for Jiminy Cricket, J Worthington is Pinocchio.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48Pinocchio, says Steve. Now, here comes your red line.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50This is what you have to get below with Jiminy Cricket.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53Can you do it? That's the question.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55How many of our 100 people went for Pinocchio?

0:18:58 > 0:18:59It's right.

0:19:02 > 0:19:03Oh, Steve!

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Much as I feared,

0:19:06 > 0:19:08yeah, that's a high score for Pinocchio,

0:19:08 > 0:19:10taking your total up to 98, I'm afraid.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12Yeah, and the one you didn't know

0:19:12 > 0:19:14is the one that would have saved you, unsurprisingly.

0:19:14 > 0:19:18Abu, Genie and Iago was Aladdin.

0:19:18 > 0:19:19Quite right.

0:19:19 > 0:19:20That would have scored 45.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22And Fairy Godmother, etc,

0:19:22 > 0:19:23was Cinderella.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25And that would have scored you 49.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28Now, Rusty, Ollie and Larry was Home On The Range

0:19:28 > 0:19:32and is a pointless answer, so very, very well done if you said that.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35- Home On The Range.- There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38At the end of our first round, the pair heading home with 98...

0:19:38 > 0:19:40Steve and Octiva, I'm sorry to say, it is you.

0:19:40 > 0:19:41You're not far ahead,

0:19:41 > 0:19:43but you just happen to be the high-scorers,

0:19:43 > 0:19:45so we have to say goodbye.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47We'll see you again next time, when I hope you'll go much further.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50In the meantime, thanks very much, Steve and Octiva.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56But for the remaining three pairs, it is now time for Round Two.

0:20:01 > 0:20:02And there we go, into Round Two,

0:20:02 > 0:20:06and we've dropped one of our couples, as you will have noticed.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09Well, Vicki and George, well done, you made it through to Round Two.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11ALEXANDER SIGHS A little bit close there.

0:20:11 > 0:20:15Well done on the far podium, Naomi and Oli, our lowest combined score.

0:20:15 > 0:20:16Very well done indeed.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Well done on the near podium, David,

0:20:18 > 0:20:21with our lowest individual score of the round. Superb!

0:20:21 > 0:20:26Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...

0:20:27 > 0:20:30Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:20:30 > 0:20:31who's going to go second?

0:20:31 > 0:20:34And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...

0:20:48 > 0:20:49Richard.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52Yeah, just looking for any of the 20 men in charge of one of those

0:20:52 > 0:20:56Premier League clubs at the start of the 2015-2016 season, please.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Thank you very much indeed.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00So then, Leanne.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04I've went totally blank. All I can think of is...

0:21:07 > 0:21:10..Harry Redknapp, and I don't think that's right.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13OK, Harry Redknapp says Leanne. Let's see if that is right.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16Let's see how many of our 100 people said Harry Redknapp.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22Bad luck, Leanne. I'm sorry. Sorry.

0:21:22 > 0:21:23Not Harry Redknapp.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25That scores you 100 points.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Yeah, sorry, Leanne, particularly hard to be

0:21:27 > 0:21:29on that first podium as well if it's a subject that's not your

0:21:29 > 0:21:32strong point, but it might not be the last 100 points we see.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34Thanks very much indeed.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Vicki, who would you like to go for?

0:21:36 > 0:21:40I know a few,

0:21:40 > 0:21:42but it's whether they started, that's the thing.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48- Jurgen Klopp.- Jurgen Klopp, says Vicki. Let's see if that's right.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jurgen Klopp.

0:21:54 > 0:21:57Oh, no! Well, listen, you are in very good company.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59You have a party going on up there at 100.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02I'm afraid another incorrect answer, scoring you 100.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04Yeah, sorry, Jurgen Klopp became Liverpool manager,

0:22:04 > 0:22:08but didn't start the season as Liverpool manager.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10OK. Now then, Oli.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14Not exactly my best subject, so I think I am going to play it

0:22:14 > 0:22:18fairly safe and go for a family favourite - Arsene Wenger.

0:22:18 > 0:22:19Arsene Wenger, says Oli,

0:22:19 > 0:22:22let's see how many of our 100 people said Arsene Wenger.

0:22:25 > 0:22:26It's right.

0:22:30 > 0:22:31Not bad.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Yeah, been at Arsenal for a very,

0:22:36 > 0:22:38very long time. First appointed when David Dein,

0:22:38 > 0:22:43the Arsenal chairman, met Wenger at Monaco and they played charades.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46And when he saw Arsene Wenger acting out A Midsummer Night's Dream

0:22:46 > 0:22:49in what's essentially his third language, English, he thought,

0:22:49 > 0:22:51"Oh, this guy is a little bit different to our other managers."

0:22:51 > 0:22:53You know, "Maybe he'll be good for our club."

0:22:53 > 0:22:55Fabulous. Thank you very much, Richard.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.

0:22:57 > 0:23:0055, the best score of the pass, Oli. Very well done indeed.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03I think you and Naomi might well be in the head-to-head at this rate.

0:23:03 > 0:23:04Then we travel up to 100,

0:23:04 > 0:23:05where we find Vicki and George

0:23:05 > 0:23:06and Leanne and David.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09So, yes, George and David, let's see what happens in the next pass.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11We come back down the line now.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:23:16 > 0:23:19OK, now, Naomi, remember, we're looking for any Premier League

0:23:19 > 0:23:24manager at the start of the 2015-2016 season.

0:23:24 > 0:23:28Unfortunately, I have nothing, not even an inkling of anyone who

0:23:28 > 0:23:31- has ever been a football manager anywhere.- OK.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34So this is going to be a matter of just making some names up.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37- Making a name up.- Making a name up. - Just rolling the die.- Well, listen,

0:23:37 > 0:23:41if you can make a name up that scores you 44 or less...

0:23:41 > 0:23:43you are through to the next round.

0:23:44 > 0:23:48Let's go with...Robin Smith.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50MUFFLED LAUGHTER

0:23:50 > 0:23:52I'm going to give you points for Robin.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54I think that's...that is good.

0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Smith, yeah...- Not imaginative enough?- Well, I don't know.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01But then, you know, who knows? Robin Smith, let's see.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Here is your red line.

0:24:03 > 0:24:04And here is Robin Smith.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Oh, I'm sorry, Naomi. However,

0:24:12 > 0:24:14thanks to Oli's efforts in the first pass, you never know,

0:24:14 > 0:24:16you might have done enough there.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 155.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20Yeah, not a manager of a Premier League team.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23Statistically, probably been a manager of Leeds at some point,

0:24:23 > 0:24:25cos...everybody else has.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28There was an England international cricketer called Robin Smith,

0:24:28 > 0:24:33- but he didn't make the leap into football management.- No, no.

0:24:33 > 0:24:34There we are.

0:24:34 > 0:24:39- Now then, George.- Yep. - George, this is fun, isn't it?- Yep.

0:24:39 > 0:24:43You have to score 54 or less. I mean, fill your boots.

0:24:43 > 0:24:47- Right. Alan Pardew.- Alan Pardew, says George. There we are.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49Here is your red line. Get below this red line

0:24:49 > 0:24:51with Alan Pardew, you are in the head-to-head.

0:24:51 > 0:24:52How many people said it?

0:24:55 > 0:24:57It's right.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59You're in the head-to-head. Well done, George.

0:25:02 > 0:25:0312 for Alan Pardew.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07Very good indeed. 112, your total.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12You could see George just happily watching that round fall apart

0:25:12 > 0:25:14around him, just thinking, "I'm all right here."

0:25:14 > 0:25:16Yeah, Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Thanks very much indeed. Now, David.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22David, again, 54 or less is your target.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24This is either something you're going to be very good at,

0:25:24 > 0:25:26which I hope...

0:25:26 > 0:25:28- Reasonably confident.- OK, good.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31I mean, I want to take a gamble and go with a fellow Scotsman,

0:25:31 > 0:25:33but I really need to get through,

0:25:33 > 0:25:36so I'm going to go with The Hammers' manager, Slaven Bilic.

0:25:36 > 0:25:40Slaven Bilic. OK, let's see if that's right. Here is your red line.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43Let's see if you can get below that. How many people said it?

0:25:46 > 0:25:48It's right. HE SIGHS

0:25:49 > 0:25:51And you're through to the head-to-head.

0:25:51 > 0:25:52Very well done indeed.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Loot at that.

0:25:54 > 0:25:55Scoring you 6.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57Very well done indeed.

0:25:57 > 0:25:58106 is your total.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03Yeah, former Croatia manager.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05He used to play for West Ham as well, Slaven Bilic.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07- What would your risk have been, David?- Alex Neil.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09Alex Neil, I thought it would have been.

0:26:09 > 0:26:10Yeah, 2 points for Alex Neil.

0:26:10 > 0:26:14I couldn't remember which way the name went, I was so nervous,

0:26:14 > 0:26:16- so...- You know what, you did exactly the right thing,

0:26:16 > 0:26:18exactly the right thing.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20There is a pointless answer out there,

0:26:20 > 0:26:24out of the 20 answers. That's Quique Flores, the Watford manager,

0:26:24 > 0:26:26is a pointless answer. You'd have got 1 point for Dick Advocaat,

0:26:26 > 0:26:28he was Sunderland manager.

0:26:28 > 0:26:322 for Alex Neil, 3 for Garry Monk at Swansea, 4 for Tim Sherwood,

0:26:32 > 0:26:34who started at Aston Villa,

0:26:34 > 0:26:355 for Ronald Koeman at Southampton,

0:26:35 > 0:26:396 for Eddie Howe and Tony Pulis and Steve McClaren.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41Ten for Brendan Rodgers and Mark Hughes. Brendan Rodgers was

0:26:41 > 0:26:44the Liverpool manager before Jurgen Klopp.

0:26:44 > 0:26:4611 for Mauricio Pochettino,

0:26:46 > 0:26:4812 for Manuel Pellegrini,

0:26:48 > 0:26:5016 for Roberto Martinez,

0:26:50 > 0:26:5227 for Jose Mourinho,

0:26:52 > 0:26:5532 for Louis van Gaal.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57No-one would've thought that the Leicester manager would be

0:26:57 > 0:27:00the second top-scorer, but he is - Claudio Ranieri with 35,

0:27:00 > 0:27:03- and then we've already heard Wenger. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05So at the end of our second round,

0:27:05 > 0:27:06I'm sorry to say, Naomi and Oli,

0:27:06 > 0:27:09we have to say goodbye to you with your high score of 155.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12I'm sure you've got great things in you for the next time, though,

0:27:12 > 0:27:14and I'm sure you'll go much further then.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16In the meantime, thanks very much for playing.

0:27:16 > 0:27:17Naomi, and Oli.

0:27:20 > 0:27:24But for the remaining two pairs, it is now time for our head-to-head.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31Congratulations, Leanne and David, Vicki and George.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play

0:27:34 > 0:27:38for our jackpot, which currently stands at £3,000.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44Well, we have now reached the head-to-head, which means

0:27:44 > 0:27:45you can start playing as a pair.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47You can confer before you give your answers.

0:27:47 > 0:27:50The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52Leanne and David, you've been here before.

0:27:52 > 0:27:56Only now, you're our golden couple, you're our low-scoring couple.

0:27:56 > 0:27:57Last time, you were the blue couple.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00And, Vicki and George, second time of asking,

0:28:00 > 0:28:02here you are in the head-to-head, which is lovely.

0:28:02 > 0:28:05How nice to have two returning pairs in the head-to-head.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07We've had great answers from both pairs, actually,

0:28:07 > 0:28:08so I think this should be close.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20Here's your first question, and it concerns...

0:28:22 > 0:28:24- Richard.- Yeah, we'll show you five pictures now

0:28:24 > 0:28:27of big animals, and we're going to give you alternate letters of

0:28:27 > 0:28:30their names. Can you tell us what they are, please?

0:28:30 > 0:28:32Thank you very much. Let's reveal our five big animals,

0:28:32 > 0:28:34and here they come. We have got...

0:29:01 > 0:29:03There we are. Five big animals.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05Now, Leanne and David,

0:29:05 > 0:29:08you've been our low-scorers, so you will go first.

0:29:08 > 0:29:12THEY WHISPER

0:29:18 > 0:29:19Yeah, OK.

0:29:19 > 0:29:22We are pretty confident on two, but we're going to take a bit of

0:29:22 > 0:29:25a gamble and go with C - Goliath beetle.

0:29:25 > 0:29:28Goliath beetle, say Leanne and David.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30George and Vicki, what would you like to go for?

0:29:30 > 0:29:33- That board is all yours. - That's what we were going to say, C.

0:29:33 > 0:29:35That's what we were going to say.

0:29:35 > 0:29:37- Do you want to talk us through all the others?- No.

0:29:37 > 0:29:40LAUGHTER

0:29:40 > 0:29:41B is whale shark.

0:29:43 > 0:29:46A, we think, is a giant tortoise.

0:29:46 > 0:29:50- We're going to have to go for the shark.- Yeah.

0:29:50 > 0:29:52- We'll say B - whale shark. - OK, B - whale shark.

0:29:52 > 0:29:54So we have Goliath beetle and we have whale shark.

0:29:54 > 0:29:57Leanne and David have gone for Goliath beetle for C.

0:29:57 > 0:29:58Let's see if that's right.

0:29:58 > 0:30:00Let's see how many of our 100 people got it.

0:30:02 > 0:30:05HE SIGHS

0:30:07 > 0:30:09There we are! Very well done indeed.

0:30:09 > 0:30:1117. That's a great answer.

0:30:15 > 0:30:18Vicki and George, meanwhile, have gone for whale shark for B.

0:30:18 > 0:30:19Let's see if that's right.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21Let's see how many of our 100 people said whale shark.

0:30:24 > 0:30:25It's right.

0:30:27 > 0:30:2959 for whale shark.

0:30:30 > 0:30:31Very well done indeed.

0:30:31 > 0:30:34Leanne and David, after one question, you are up 1-0.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36Yeah, well played. Good to take that risk.

0:30:36 > 0:30:40If your things fit the words, it's usually the right answer.

0:30:40 > 0:30:43A is giant tortoise, of course.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45It's a surprisingly low score, that, 39.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48- I don't know what people think that is.- How giant is that?

0:30:48 > 0:30:49I mean, that is...

0:30:49 > 0:30:51From the perspective of that...

0:30:51 > 0:30:54- It is half the size of a mountain, yeah.- Yeah.

0:30:54 > 0:30:57Although, that is the world's tiniest mountain.

0:30:57 > 0:31:01- Ah.- Let's take a look at the rest.

0:31:01 > 0:31:05Now, E... Again, this thing of filling in words, so you can work...

0:31:05 > 0:31:07It is a something giant rabbit.

0:31:07 > 0:31:08We all know it's a something...

0:31:08 > 0:31:10Flemish, I'm going for there.

0:31:10 > 0:31:12Flemish is right. Very well done.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14And that would've scored you 10 points.

0:31:14 > 0:31:16One of those has been 4'3" long.

0:31:16 > 0:31:18Imagine a rabbit 4'3" long.

0:31:18 > 0:31:21How big is the tattoo on that hand, though? That's what I'm trying to...

0:31:21 > 0:31:23- Are they genuine footprints on there?- Yes.

0:31:23 > 0:31:27- Yeah.- Yeah. But the other one, D...

0:31:27 > 0:31:29See, this is the one that, again,

0:31:29 > 0:31:32- we can all work out it's giant, again...- Yeah.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35But I've been going through every word in the alphabet,

0:31:35 > 0:31:38everyone at home will be going through it trying to do it.

0:31:38 > 0:31:39Give up.

0:31:39 > 0:31:43Give up. It is a New Zealand animal, and it is called the giant weta.

0:31:43 > 0:31:46The giant weta. And that would have scored you 1 point.

0:31:46 > 0:31:50So someone... Someone out there's from New Zealand. The giant weta.

0:31:50 > 0:31:51I wonder how giant that is.

0:31:51 > 0:31:53Oh, that is 40 foot long.

0:31:53 > 0:31:55OK. Good. LAUGHTER

0:31:55 > 0:31:57You see...you see that speck there?

0:31:57 > 0:31:59- Yeah.- That's Auckland.- Yes.

0:31:59 > 0:32:00RICHARD LAUGHS

0:32:00 > 0:32:02No, that WAS Auckland.

0:32:02 > 0:32:03OK, yeah, got it.

0:32:03 > 0:32:07Thank you very much indeed. OK, so, here comes your second question.

0:32:07 > 0:32:09Vicki and George, you get to answer it first,

0:32:09 > 0:32:11but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.

0:32:11 > 0:32:14Our second question today is all about...

0:32:17 > 0:32:18Fun!

0:32:18 > 0:32:21Yeah, we're going to show you five UK top 40 singles now,

0:32:21 > 0:32:24but who had hits with them in the years shown, please?

0:32:24 > 0:32:25Thanks very much indeed.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28OK, let's reveal our five hits, and here they come.

0:33:00 > 0:33:03So, George and Vicki, you will go first.

0:33:03 > 0:33:05THEY WHISPER

0:33:13 > 0:33:16Um, we know four of them.

0:33:16 > 0:33:20It's just what is going to be the lowest.

0:33:20 > 0:33:25We'll go for You've Got The Love by Florence and the Machine.

0:33:25 > 0:33:28Florence and the Machine, say Vicki and George, for You've Got The Love.

0:33:28 > 0:33:31Now, Leanne and David, that board's all yours. Talk us through it.

0:33:31 > 0:33:34- That was the one that we were going to go with.- Yeah.

0:33:34 > 0:33:37I'll know the first one when it comes up. Scratch my brain.

0:33:37 > 0:33:40Same with California Dreamin'. The song is going through my head.

0:33:40 > 0:33:44- Go for the last one, then?- Yeah. - Echo and the Bunnymen

0:33:44 > 0:33:46- for Nothing Lasts Forever. - OK, Echo and the Bunnymen.

0:33:46 > 0:33:48So we have Florence and the Machine and Echo and the Bunnymen.

0:33:48 > 0:33:51George and Vicki went for Florence and the Machine,

0:33:51 > 0:33:53for You've Got The Love. Let see if that's right.

0:33:53 > 0:33:55Let's see how many of our 100 people went for it.

0:33:57 > 0:33:58It's right.

0:34:07 > 0:34:0936 for Florence and the Machine.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12Now then, Leanne and David have gone for Echo and the Bunnymen.

0:34:12 > 0:34:15Let's see how many of our 100 people went for that.

0:34:17 > 0:34:18It's right.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20- AUDIENCE:- Ooooh....

0:34:20 > 0:34:23And it wins you the point!

0:34:23 > 0:34:24Look at that.

0:34:24 > 0:34:2612 for Echo and the Bunnymen.

0:34:26 > 0:34:28So there you are, you were encouraged

0:34:28 > 0:34:31to a better answer, and it means, Leanne and David,

0:34:31 > 0:34:34after only two questions, you are straight through to the final, 2-0.

0:34:34 > 0:34:37And, you know what, your brains work perfectly for Pointless

0:34:37 > 0:34:39cos the two that you were struggling over are the two

0:34:39 > 0:34:42highest scorers, and the one you knew was the lowest scorer, so...

0:34:42 > 0:34:44- I think it's an age thing.- You were custom-built for this show.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47- Layla was...- Derek and the Dominos.

0:34:47 > 0:34:49Derek and the Dominos, yeah. With Eric Clapton.

0:34:49 > 0:34:53That would've scored you 41. California Dreamin'?

0:34:53 > 0:34:55- The Mamas and the Papas. - The Mamas and the Papas.

0:34:55 > 0:34:57That would've scored 39. And Three Little Birds?

0:34:57 > 0:34:58Bob Marley and the Wailers.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00Bob Marley and the Wailers.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02- Also would have seen you through with 27 points.- There we are.

0:35:02 > 0:35:04Thank you very much indeed.

0:35:04 > 0:35:07So, at the end of our head-to-head round, I'm afraid, Vicki and George,

0:35:07 > 0:35:09this is where we have to say goodbye to you,

0:35:09 > 0:35:11but thank you for being so brilliant on both shows.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13Great performance across the show today.

0:35:13 > 0:35:14I'm sorry we didn't get you into the final

0:35:14 > 0:35:17and send you home with a trophy, but thank you so much for playing.

0:35:17 > 0:35:19- Vicki and George.- Thank you.

0:35:21 > 0:35:22Thank you. Bye.

0:35:22 > 0:35:25But for Leanne and David, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:35:29 > 0:35:31Well, congratulations.

0:35:31 > 0:35:33Leanne and David, you've seen off all the competition and you

0:35:33 > 0:35:36have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:35:42 > 0:35:45- Yay!- You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot, and at the

0:35:45 > 0:35:48end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £3,000.

0:35:48 > 0:35:49There we are.

0:35:54 > 0:35:58Well, your first answer of the day, David, was Tarzan, that scored 2.

0:35:58 > 0:36:01Lowest score, I think, of the show.

0:36:01 > 0:36:05You survived Premier...English Premier League football managers.

0:36:05 > 0:36:07And out you came, came through smiling.

0:36:07 > 0:36:092-0 in the head-to-head.

0:36:09 > 0:36:12Yeah, I mean, just round it off with a nice pointless answer

0:36:12 > 0:36:14here, and you can go home with that decent jackpot - 3,000 quid.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17Anything you'd particularly like to see come up in this last round?

0:36:17 > 0:36:19Leanne, you first.

0:36:19 > 0:36:22- Sport or film.- Sport or film. David?

0:36:22 > 0:36:24I think sport is aimed at me.

0:36:24 > 0:36:29I'm a bit of a cricket buff. I'm a big fan, so obscure cricket,

0:36:29 > 0:36:30international cricket.

0:36:30 > 0:36:34- Maybe some literature, if it falls into our kind of thing.- OK.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36- But sport in general.- Well, very, very best of luck. As always,

0:36:36 > 0:36:39you get to choose the category from the board behind me.

0:36:39 > 0:36:41Let's see what today's selection look like. We've got...

0:36:48 > 0:36:50DAVID GROANS

0:36:50 > 0:36:54- Not the best, is it? I think we can... We don't do jazz.- No.

0:36:54 > 0:36:56- Land of Oz is going to be... - The Tropics might be...

0:36:56 > 0:36:58I think Tropics will be geography, so...

0:36:58 > 0:37:02We'll go with the Tropics and hope that it's countries and geography or something along the lines.

0:37:02 > 0:37:04- OK, the Tropics it is. - OK, very best of luck.

0:37:04 > 0:37:06You are exactly right. That is exactly what it is.

0:37:06 > 0:37:08We are looking for the following, please.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11We are looking for any country that has any land anywhere between

0:37:11 > 0:37:13the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.

0:37:13 > 0:37:17As always, by country, we mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right.

0:37:17 > 0:37:19We are looking for the capital cities of any of those

0:37:19 > 0:37:20countries as well.

0:37:20 > 0:37:23Or we're looking for any British Overseas Territories

0:37:23 > 0:37:24in the Tropics.

0:37:24 > 0:37:28So, any country that has any of its land somewhere between the Tropics,

0:37:28 > 0:37:30the capital cities of those countries

0:37:30 > 0:37:31and British Overseas Territories.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33Very best of luck.

0:37:33 > 0:37:35OK, now, as always, you have up to one minute

0:37:35 > 0:37:36to come up with three answers.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers

0:37:39 > 0:37:42- to be pointless. Are you ready? - Yep.- Eh.... One, two, three.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45- Yep, we're ready.- OK. Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

0:37:45 > 0:37:47There they are. Your time starts now.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50Capital Cities... Djibouti City.

0:37:50 > 0:37:52You could have Benin.

0:37:52 > 0:37:54You could have Djibouti itself.

0:37:54 > 0:37:58Equatorial... No, that's too far north. Equatorial Guinea.

0:37:58 > 0:38:00I'm thinking St Vincent, Grenadines.

0:38:00 > 0:38:04I'm thinking Antigua & Barbuda.

0:38:04 > 0:38:06I'm thinking possibly the Falkland Islands.

0:38:06 > 0:38:08That may be a bit obvious.

0:38:08 > 0:38:10Eh...

0:38:11 > 0:38:15Try to see what else. Maybe go a bit Asian route.

0:38:15 > 0:38:17I'm trying to think. I'm trying to think.

0:38:17 > 0:38:19I'm just trying to think of anywhere that is

0:38:19 > 0:38:21a British Overseas Territory, you know.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23Captain Cook, you know, trying to remember all that.

0:38:23 > 0:38:27- Seychelles, maybe. Yeah, Seychelles could be.- Mauritius.

0:38:27 > 0:38:29I don't know.

0:38:29 > 0:38:32I think I'm quite keen to go with Djibouti City,

0:38:32 > 0:38:35- go with St Vincent, Grenadines... - Right, OK.

0:38:35 > 0:38:37- ..and go with...- Ten seconds left.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41- ..Antigua & Barbuda. - OK, that's fine. We'll go with that.

0:38:41 > 0:38:44- And if we don't got it, we don't get it.- Yep.

0:38:44 > 0:38:46OK, sounds like you've arrived at your three answers,

0:38:46 > 0:38:48and your time has just run out.

0:38:48 > 0:38:50So if you could just give me those three answers and the

0:38:50 > 0:38:52categories they are in, that'd be great.

0:38:52 > 0:38:56- I would go with Djibouti City, the capital of Djibouti.- Djibouti City.

0:38:56 > 0:38:57- Antigua & Barbuda. - Antigua & Barbuda.

0:38:57 > 0:38:59And I'm going to go with...

0:38:59 > 0:39:01In which category, by the way, Antigua & Barbuda?

0:39:01 > 0:39:04- Countries in the Tropics. - Countries in the Tropics. Yep, good.

0:39:04 > 0:39:07And St Vincent and the Grenadines. Countries in the Tropics.

0:39:07 > 0:39:09But I think, if it falls in any one of those, yeah,

0:39:09 > 0:39:10hopefully it will be OK.

0:39:10 > 0:39:12OK. St Vincent and the Grenadines as well.

0:39:12 > 0:39:16Now, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:39:16 > 0:39:17St Vincent and the Grenadines.

0:39:17 > 0:39:19St Vincent and the Grenadines goes last.

0:39:19 > 0:39:20Least likely to be pointless?

0:39:20 > 0:39:22- Djibouti.- Djibouti City, cos I'm not sure where it sits.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25- Djibouti City. And then we've got Antigua & Barbuda...- Yeah.

0:39:25 > 0:39:26..in the middle. OK, well,

0:39:26 > 0:39:29let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31And here they are. We've got...

0:39:35 > 0:39:38Well, three good answers on the board there. Let's hope one

0:39:38 > 0:39:42of those ends up being pointless and wins you that jackpot. 3,000 quid,

0:39:42 > 0:39:44that's quite a nice sum to be taking home.

0:39:44 > 0:39:46What would you like to do with that? Leanne, you first.

0:39:46 > 0:39:50I would probably go shopping. Take the kids shopping as well.

0:39:50 > 0:39:54- Excellent. David?- I don't think I'll see it, to be honest.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57I think I'll just come home one day and find lots of bags

0:39:57 > 0:39:59in the living room or something like that.

0:39:59 > 0:40:00But if I get a chance,

0:40:00 > 0:40:04I think I'd probably like to spend a little bit of money maybe on

0:40:04 > 0:40:06some golf or something like that, maybe take that up.

0:40:06 > 0:40:09Very good. OK, well, very, very best of luck.

0:40:09 > 0:40:11Your first answer was Djibouti City.

0:40:11 > 0:40:14In this case, we were looking for capital cities between the Tropics.

0:40:14 > 0:40:17Only one of these answers has to be pointless, remember,

0:40:17 > 0:40:18for you to win that jackpot of £3,000.

0:40:18 > 0:40:22Let's see, for £3,000, how many people said Djibouti City?

0:40:25 > 0:40:27It's right.

0:40:27 > 0:40:30Djibouti City is absolutely between the Tropics. Down it goes.

0:40:30 > 0:40:31If this goes all the way to zero,

0:40:31 > 0:40:33you leave here immediately with a cheque for £3,000.

0:40:33 > 0:40:35Down we go through the teens

0:40:35 > 0:40:36and into single figures. Still going down.

0:40:36 > 0:40:38Still going down, still going...

0:40:38 > 0:40:40You've done it! Congrats!

0:40:42 > 0:40:45Fantastic! Fantastic!

0:40:45 > 0:40:46Superb!

0:40:47 > 0:40:48Brilliant.

0:40:52 > 0:40:53Look at that!

0:40:53 > 0:40:56Congratulations. Djibouti City was a pointless answer,

0:40:56 > 0:41:00which means you go home with today's jackpot of £3,000.

0:41:00 > 0:41:02Very well done, Leanne and David. Superb.

0:41:06 > 0:41:08Yeah, you chose very, very well there.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10This is... For anyone who knows anything about geography,

0:41:10 > 0:41:13this is an absolute gimme, this round. It's brilliant stuff.

0:41:13 > 0:41:15Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers here.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22Antigua & Barbuda was a pointless answer,

0:41:22 > 0:41:23which you also said.

0:41:23 > 0:41:25You also mentioned Djibouti as the country,

0:41:25 > 0:41:28that was a pointless answer as well. Equatorial Guinea, you mentioned.

0:41:28 > 0:41:29That was a pointless answer.

0:41:29 > 0:41:31Mauritius, you mentioned, was a pointless answer.

0:41:31 > 0:41:33Seychelles, you mentioned - pointless answer.

0:41:33 > 0:41:36St Vincent and the Grenadines you went for - pointless answer.

0:41:36 > 0:41:39Brunei, Burundi, Cabo Verde, Cambodia, Comoros,

0:41:39 > 0:41:40Costa Rica, Cote d'Ivoire,

0:41:40 > 0:41:44Dominica, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Fiji, Grenada, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau,

0:41:44 > 0:41:46Madagascar, Malawi, Maldives, Mauritania,

0:41:46 > 0:41:48Senegal, Somalia, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia,

0:41:48 > 0:41:51Sudan, Tanzania, The Gambia, Togo, Tonga, Trinidad & Tobago, Tuvalu,

0:41:51 > 0:41:54Vanuatu and Vietnam - all pointless answers.

0:41:54 > 0:41:55I tell you what wasn't a pointless answer -

0:41:55 > 0:41:57Central African Republic, with 2 points.

0:41:57 > 0:42:00- LAUGHTER - 2 points.

0:42:03 > 0:42:06Big shout out to Central African Republic there.

0:42:06 > 0:42:09Very well done. Now, the capital cities...

0:42:09 > 0:42:12It's quicker if I go through the ones that weren't pointless answers.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14The ones that would have scored points - Mexico City,

0:42:14 > 0:42:18Kingston, Brasilia, Nairobi, Lima, Bangkok, Paramaribo,

0:42:18 > 0:42:22Singapore, Havana, Panama City, Caracas, Georgetown and Bogota.

0:42:22 > 0:42:24Every single other answer was pointless.

0:42:24 > 0:42:26The British Overseas Territories is an interesting one.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28The ones we've sort of heard of and are not quite sure where

0:42:28 > 0:42:31they are. There's only three pointless answers here.

0:42:34 > 0:42:36The ones that scored points - British Virgin Islands,

0:42:36 > 0:42:38Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, Cayman Islands

0:42:38 > 0:42:40and British Indian Ocean Territory.

0:42:40 > 0:42:42Those were the other answers that weren't pointless.

0:42:42 > 0:42:44But great choice of category

0:42:44 > 0:42:47and you absolutely nailed it. Terrific stuff. Very well played.

0:42:47 > 0:42:48Thanks very much, Richard.

0:42:48 > 0:42:51And thanks once again to our winning players, Leanne and David,

0:42:51 > 0:42:54who go away with today's jackpot of £3,000. Very well done.

0:42:54 > 0:42:55Thank you very much.

0:42:55 > 0:42:58APPLAUSE

0:42:58 > 0:43:01Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge

0:43:01 > 0:43:02to the test on Pointless.

0:43:02 > 0:43:04- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.

0:43:04 > 0:43:06And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
