0:00:25 > 0:00:26the show where the aim of the game
0:00:26 > 0:00:28is to find the most obscure answer possible.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hello, my name's Yoshi, this is my husband, Ulf.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41I'm from London and he's from Vaxjo, Sweden.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Imy, this is my friend, Gerry.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46I'm from London and he is from Weymouth.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Couple number three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Hiya, my name's Dave, this is my sister, Jane,
0:00:49 > 0:00:50and we're both from Mansfield.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Richard, this is my brother, Ian, and we're both from Swansea.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59APPLAUSE
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Thanks very much, all of you, a warm welcome to the show.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03We'll get to chat to each of you
0:01:03 > 0:01:04throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Quizzes are his bread and butter -
0:01:09 > 0:01:11except when he's making bread and butter pudding,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14when bread and butter is very much his bread and butter.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20APPLAUSE
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- Good afternoon to you, sir. - Good afternoon.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- This is going to be a high-quality show, I think.- I think so.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Don't you think? Three returning pairs, we know, er, we know...
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Ulf and Yoshi got through to the head-to-head,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32very, very strong indeed, Jane and Dave also strong.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Gerry and Imy, you got knocked out in the first round
0:01:34 > 0:01:37on that tough, er, the one about Spanish pronunciations,
0:01:37 > 0:01:38which was a tough round, I think.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41And Richard and Ian, they look like they mean business as well,
0:01:41 > 0:01:42- don't you think?- I think so.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47Round One, as soon as it comes up people are going to go, "Ugh!"
0:01:47 > 0:01:50I think it's fine, though, but people will go, "Ugh!"
0:01:50 > 0:01:52I was waiting for you to come up with a consolation.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I thought you were going to say, "But it's going to be great!"
0:01:54 > 0:01:56But it's not, it's going to be...
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Well, no, it's... Honestly, it'll be absolutely fine,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00but it's one of those ones where you think, "Oh, I... Oh!"
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- It'll be fine. - And at home people will go, "Oh!"
0:02:02 > 0:02:05People will be like, "Oh, no, really?!"
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- And they'll be like, "Oh... Don't know if I can... Oh..."- Ah.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- But it'll be fine.- It'll be fine. - Oh, yeah, it's going to be fine.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13We will all be alive at the end of it...
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Everyone is going to know stuff.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17ALEXANDER EXHALES DEEPLY Good, thank you very much.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Um... Holly and Jordan won the jackpot last time,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000, there it is.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25There we go. Now, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27APPLAUSE
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Now, as ever, the pair with the highest score
0:02:33 > 0:02:35at the end of each round will be eliminated,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38so make sure your answers score as low as they possibly can.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category today is...
0:02:45 > 0:02:47ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Even the audience was losing the will to live.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51LAUGHTER
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Politics, there we are.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first
0:02:54 > 0:02:56to answer about Politics, who's going to go second?
0:02:56 > 0:03:00And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:03:03 > 0:03:09Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:03:13 > 0:03:14..as they could.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Yeah, specifically,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19we're looking for any leader of the Conservative, Labour or Lib Dem
0:03:19 > 0:03:22parties at Westminster, please, who were born in the 20th century.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25With the Liberal Democrats, it's from anyone who's led the party
0:03:25 > 0:03:29from '89 onwards, so any Tory or Labour leader at any point
0:03:29 > 0:03:31who was born in the 20th century,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33or any Liberal Democrat leader from 1989.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38Thank you very much indeed. OK, Yoshi, welcome to Pointless.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43So, yes, Yoshi, remind us what it is you do.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- I work as a consultant in international development.- That...
0:03:46 > 0:03:48But I've taken a slight break at the moment.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Taken a break, that's fun, nice to have a bit of a break from it.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53What are you doing with your time in that break?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56I'm studying to be a pastry chef.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57RICHARD LAUGHS
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Now then, do you think this might be a second career?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I have no idea, I don't want to put too much pressure on it, so...
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I'm just seeing if I can get through it.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Quite fun, so where are you studying that? In London, or...?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Yes.- And in a sort of big professional kitchen?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Yeah, with scary professional chefs.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- Yeah, with a sort of service going on while you're doing it?- No.- No.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- You produce the food and then you try to find people to eat it.- I see.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21- I will, very happily... - LAUGHTER
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- Yeah, I'm...- Anyone? Yeah, yeah. - AUDIENCE:- Yes.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26But how exciting!
0:04:26 > 0:04:29How exotic have you gone so far with your pastry chef-ing?
0:04:29 > 0:04:34It's really embarrassing, it's all French names that I can't remember,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36so I can remember the bog-standard English one... Yeah.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40..which is, it doesn't sound exotic at all, it's a tart,
0:04:40 > 0:04:43puff pastry tart, fruit tart, but it's latticed
0:04:43 > 0:04:45and it's... it's really...
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- It was really good.- Mm. But it's going well, though?- Mostly.- Mostly.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Well, good luck with that. What a fun thing to do.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Brilliant thing, great news for Ulf.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Yeah.- Oh...- Maybe also bad news.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Sorry!- Now then, Yoshi, what would you like to go for?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- Who would you like to go for?- I'm just trying to work out whether...
0:05:03 > 0:05:06I have a problem that I can make up answers and think they're really...
0:05:06 > 0:05:10they're real, and not know they're wrong until you tell me.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14I think, a Labour Party leader who died of a heart attack,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17he wasn't Labour Party leader very long, was John Smith.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19John Smith, says Yoshi.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Let's see how many of our 100 people went for John Smith.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26It is absolutely right.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Look at that, 13.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34APPLAUSE
0:05:35 > 0:05:3813. And it's precisely the sort of name you might think,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41"Oh, Lord, have I just made that up?" But no, absolutely, you didn't.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Well done, Yoshi. Born in 1938, former Labour leader, John Smith.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- Now, Imy, welcome back to Pointless. - Hi.- Good to have you here.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Good pink flamingos there on the shirt.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57Look how well they go with the cerise behind there. Wonderful.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59It's all been very carefully thought through, this, Imy.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Remind us what it is you do. - So I'm hairstylist.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- A hairstylist, but you work in a salon in Knightsbridge.- Yeah.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Do you style the hair of gentlemen and ladies, or are you...?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- No, I don't do men's hair.- OK... - It's not...
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Yeah, that's my Achilles heel, so... - Do you have a signature cut?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Is there somebody who would say, "Ah, that's an Imy cut"?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Well, the Chelsea blow-dry, the salon that I work in...
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Cos obviously I'm based in Chelsea, in the Royal Borough...
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Yeah.- Everyone comes in for their, you know,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- the glamorous Chelsea blow-dry. - Very exciting.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30I mean, presumably there are some people
0:06:30 > 0:06:33who travel vast distances to have Imy do their hair.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Yeah, I've got clients come from Dubai,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Australia, America, so...
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- I'm pretty good, so... - That's pretty good, yeah.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Good, I'm getting that, I'm getting that, Imy.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Let's see how good you are on this, though.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Leaders of political parties.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51How are you feeling about this?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53So I want to go for Gordon Brown?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55OK, Gordon Brown, says Imy.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Let's see how many of our 100 people said Gordon Brown.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02It's right.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- Yes!- 13 is our only score at this point. Gordon Brown...
0:07:06 > 0:07:07takes us down to 29. APPLAUSE
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Born in 1951, the leader from 2007 to 2010.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- Born James Brown, of course. - Yeah.- Is his actual name.- Mm.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- Now, Jane, welcome back to Pointless.- Hi.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26We had to say goodbye to you at the end of the second round last time,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28so we've got to hope to see more of you this time.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Jane, remind us what you do. - I'm a therapeutic counsellor.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34That's right, up in Mansfield. What are your interests, Jane?
0:07:34 > 0:07:39- What do you like doing?- Um, walking my dog, that we've re-homed, um...
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Lovely.- And I've got a two-year-old granddaughter, as well.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- So she takes up quite a lot of time. - Wonderful, what's her name?- Olivia.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Olivia. Hi, Olivia.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Very good indeed. Now, how are you feeling about our political round?
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- Not good. I was going to say Gordon Brown.- Sorry.- So, um...
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Tony Blair.- Tony Blair... - Yeah.- ..says Jane.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- OK.- It's probably going to be high, but...
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Well, let's see. Gordon Brown scored 29.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Let's see what Tony Blair scores.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Ooh.
0:08:11 > 0:08:1367 for Tony Blair. APPLAUSE
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Yeah, born in 1953, he was leader from '94,
0:08:19 > 0:08:24all the way through to 2007, when Gordon Brown took over.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Good. Now then, Richard, welcome to the show.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Good to have you here, from Swansea. What do you do, Richard?
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- I work in the NHS, patient pathway management.- Right.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37What does pathway management...? I've heard that a few times.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39It's really not that exciting.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42It's basically making sure patients get from one end of the hospital,
0:08:42 > 0:08:45out of the other, hopefully in one piece.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46LAUGHTER That's interesting.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49That is literally the pathway that you oversee?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Yeah, for the ENT Department in one of the Swansea hospitals.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Right you are. OK, what are your interests, Richard?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Football, rugby, travelling...
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Very good indeed. Now, how are you feeling about our political round?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Ah... Um, Richard kind of scuppered my plans,
0:09:04 > 0:09:06but I think I'm still OK with '89.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Neil Kinnock?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Neil Kinnock.- Yeah... - '89 was just for the Lib Dems.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Yeah, well, in my head, he's a Lib Dem leader.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I could be completely wrong.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- I see, OK.- I'm pretty sure he is and it was before...
0:09:19 > 0:09:23OK, right, let's see how many of our 100 people said Neil Kinnock.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27It's right.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Oh, look at that, down to 11 for Neil Kinnock.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37APPLAUSE We have a new low score.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Well done, Richard. Yeah, Labour leader,
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Labour leader before John Smith, Neil Kinnock.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Thank you, Richard. We're halfway through our first round.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Let's take a look at those scores, 11, as we've just heard,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49from Richard, our lowest score of the pass.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Then up to 13, Yoshi and Ulf.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Then up to 29, Imy and Gerry.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Then up to 67, Jane and Dave.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Dave, you are out in front there, so we need a low score from you.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01It's going to get harder now, isn't it?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Because there are some big names, I'm sure.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06But we have to remember, it's in the 20th century.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08So, yes, I'm going to be fascinated to see what happens
0:10:08 > 0:10:10in this next pass. Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12We'll come back down the line -
0:10:12 > 0:10:14can the second players step up to the podium?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19OK, remember, we're looking for the leader
0:10:19 > 0:10:22of any UK political party born in the 20th century.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Now, Ian, welcome.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Welcome to Pointless. What do you do, Ian?
0:10:27 > 0:10:30I also work for the NHS, I work for the Welsh Ambulance Service.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- I'm a resource planning coordinator.- Right.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Are you based anywhere near Richard? - No, quite, er...
0:10:36 > 0:10:39In the... Well, we're both based in Swansea...
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- That's near enough.- No.- But you're not... Yeah, nowhere near.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I work in a call centre, um, used to be NHS Direct,
0:10:45 > 0:10:48but now we're sort of expanding,
0:10:48 > 0:10:53so it's becoming more advanced than NHS Direct. And...
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Yeah, I do all the staff's, like rotas, annual leave,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- manage sickness, that kind of stuff. - Right you are.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02OK. Now, Ian, you're on 11.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Your high scorers at the moment are Dave and Jane on 67,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08so 55 or less keeps you in the game.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13I keep having the answers taken away from me. It's not fair.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15So I'm going to go for...
0:11:15 > 0:11:18The only one I can remember now is Nick Clegg.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Nick Clegg, says Ian. Here is your red line.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22If you get below that red line with Nick Clegg,
0:11:22 > 0:11:24you're definitely through to the next round.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Let's see how many people said it.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Very well done.
0:11:34 > 0:11:3527 for Nick Clegg.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38APPLAUSE
0:11:38 > 0:11:4138 is your total - and you are through to the next round.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Yeah, Nick Clegg's still hanging on there.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- 27, that's not too bad, is it? - Not bad.- Lib Dem leader.- Yeah.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Now then, Dave, welcome back. So remind us what you do.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- I'm a courier driver, delivery driver.- A courier driver.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Is it your own courier firm? - It is my own business, yes.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- And how many vans are there? - Just the one.- Oh, it's just the one?
0:12:01 > 0:12:02- Just for me.- I see. Oh, that's...
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Is it emblazoned with something so we can look out for it?
0:12:05 > 0:12:06- No, it's just a plain... - Plain white?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Does it occasionally have witty things written into the dust?
0:12:09 > 0:12:14- Oh, yes, yes. "Please pass". - Always like that gag.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Now, Dave, what are your interests when you...?- I like football.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- Mm-hm.- Er, swimming... I've got four children
0:12:21 > 0:12:23that keep me occupied quite regularly.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26I've just got a little girl, she's just turned one.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- Lovely. OK, now...- Very busy. - Dave, you are the high scorers.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32We need a low score from you here.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I noticed you didn't mention politics
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- as one of your hobbies there. - Not at all.- OK.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Um, I can't really think...
0:12:38 > 0:12:41The only one I can think of is...
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Ian Callaghan?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Ian Callaghan, says Dave. Let's see if that's right,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49let's see how many of our 100 people said Ian Callaghan.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51No red line for you, as you're the high scorers.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56No. I'm afraid, Dave, not Ian Callaghan.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58I'm afraid that scores you 100 points
0:12:58 > 0:13:00and takes your total up to 167.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02You're thinking of the Liverpool footballer,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- I'm afraid, Ian Callaghan. - JANE LAUGHS
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Who hasn't yet led a political party.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- More's the pity.- He's given it a go a couple of times.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- Yeah.- Yeah.- I know the Greens are keen on him.- Yeah, very keen.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Thank you very much, Richard. So then, Gerry, remind us what to do.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22I'm a centre coordinator in Weymouth, in which I teach
0:13:22 > 0:13:25adults new skills to help them find work, to get back in to work.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Excellent. And when you're not doing that, what pleases you?
0:13:28 > 0:13:32I'm a massive film fan, I go to the cinema all the time,
0:13:32 > 0:13:37I listen to music, play my consoles. Nothing too taxing, really.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- So, you know, just to unwind. - Very good.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Listen, you're going to be in Round Two.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43- Cool.- That's exciting news.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46You will be in Round Two, no matter what you score here.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50- But I have a feeling you might have a good answer.- I've got a couple.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53I'm going to go for, I'll risk it, I'll say William Hague?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55William Hague, says Gerry.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57No red line for you, you're already through,
0:13:57 > 0:13:59but let's see how many of our 100 people said William Hague.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03It's right.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10That's a very good answer, Gerry. Down it goes to 12.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12APPLAUSE It is, in fact,
0:14:12 > 0:14:14our second lowest score of the whole round.
0:14:14 > 0:14:1641 is your total, well done.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Yeah, Conservative leader from '97 to 2001.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Now then, Ulf...
0:14:22 > 0:14:24we come to you.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Now, I've seen some very good nodding from you as various answers
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- have been given, which suggests... - That was unfortunate.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32..you have... No, it just suggests that you have
0:14:32 > 0:14:36spread before you in your... palace of the mind.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39It is sort of what I work with...
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Well, I know it is, I know it is, fair enough. Well, that's true.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45So, yes, just remind us what it is you do.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48I'm a diplomat working for the Swedish embassy here in London.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51That's right, and you're here for not much longer, you think.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53No, we have three- to five-year postings, so...
0:14:53 > 0:14:55And you've done four years here.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- I think we should try and keep Ulf. - Oh, we should try and keep Ulf.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Is there any way we can petition to keep you in the country?
0:15:00 > 0:15:03You can write a letter to the government.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04I would be very happy if you do that.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- If I write it in English, would that be all right?- That would be OK.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09My Swedish is rudimentary at best.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- They would understand, I hope. - We should do, let's do that.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- Let's do that.- Don't you think we should keep Ulf in the country?
0:15:15 > 0:15:16- AUDIENCE:- Yes! - Yeah, I think so.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18And could people e-mail, maybe?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20They could e-mail and, you know, just leave a message...
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Because, also, we'd lose all of Yoshi's new pastries
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- and cakes and all sorts of stuff. - I know.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28We're not sending that off... I don't know where it might be next,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30do you have any say at all?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Well, we can apply, but you cannot just dictate and say,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36"I want to go there and there," but you can sort of...
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Do you have areas of expertise that might dictate where you might go?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Not dictate, but it would be a higher chance if you...
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I mean, I've worked a lot with south-east Asia,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- so I would have a better chance going there.- OK.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48OK, now, you are already through, Ulf.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- This is the news I have to tell you. - Yeah.- You're on 13.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I think if anyone's going to have a nice low score, Ulf,
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- it will be you. - Yeah, the trick is, I think,
0:15:57 > 0:15:58- the born in the 20th century.- Mm.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Because that makes it a little bit more...
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Can one say acting leaders of the party?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- No. Just leaders, I'm afraid.- OK.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Then I'll go for, um, "Iron" Duncan Smith.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10OK. Ooh, "Iron", he'd love that. LAUGHTER
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Is it Iain...?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14We say Iain, but I think "Iron",
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- I think, you know... - I always call him IDS.- Exactly.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20But "Iron" Duncan Smith, he will like that.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Um, Iain Duncan Smith,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24no red line for you, you're already through.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Let's see how many of our 100 people said Iain Duncan Smith.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Look at that. Look at that, down to 7.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Very well done indeed. APPLAUSE
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Takes your total neatly up to 20, the lowest total,
0:16:41 > 0:16:44as one might have imagined, of the whole round.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Yeah, he was the Tory leader after William Hague.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50He's sort of "Iron", cos he's got the extra I, I-A-I-N.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52The Scottish way of spelling Ian.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54As I say, look, it sounded like a scary round,
0:16:54 > 0:16:58but there's so many names you're going to know in this list. So many.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00We'll start with the lower ones, there is one pointless answer,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03that's Lib Dem leader Ming Campbell.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Very well done if you said Ming Campbell.
0:17:04 > 0:17:061 point for Alec Douglas-Home,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08who was born in 1903, so just scrapes in,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11and Hugh Gaitskell was born in 1906, would've scored you 2.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13The current leader of the Lib Dems, Tim Farron,
0:17:13 > 0:17:14would've scored you 3 points.
0:17:14 > 0:17:163 points also for Michael Howard,
0:17:16 > 0:17:197 for Charles Kennedy and Michael Foot,
0:17:19 > 0:17:2211 for James Callaghan, I'm afraid, not Ian Callaghan.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25James Callaghan, the Labour leader.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Ed Miliband, 16.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Ooh...
0:17:29 > 0:17:31That's show business.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32LAUGHTER
0:17:32 > 0:17:3521 points for Edward Heath, 24 points for Paddy Ashdown,
0:17:35 > 0:17:3824 points for Jeremy Corbyn, as well. Would've scored you 24.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I think it might be the first time he's made an appearance...
0:17:41 > 0:17:42- Yeah...- ..on the show. 24.
0:17:42 > 0:17:4427 for Harold Wilson,
0:17:44 > 0:17:4752 for John Major...
0:17:47 > 0:17:50And we'll take a look at the top three, shall we?
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Margaret Thatcher would've scored you 62. Tony Blair, 67.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- And remember this guy?- David...
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Dave Cameron, 72 points.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04We are at the end of our first round and we have to say goodbye
0:18:04 > 0:18:06to one of our pairs. I'm afraid to say, Dave and Jane,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09it is you, we have to send you back to Mansfield.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11I'm sorry we don't send you back with trophies
0:18:11 > 0:18:14and all sorts of other garlands with you,
0:18:14 > 0:18:16but just with our very best wishes.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18It's been great having you on the show,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- thanks so much for playing, Dave and Jane.- Thank you.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22APPLAUSE
0:18:22 > 0:18:25But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27APPLAUSE
0:18:30 > 0:18:33And look at that, suddenly we're down to three pairs,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36and at the end of this round, we will be down to two pairs.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Well, Ulf and Yoshi, once again, very well done.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Lowest individual score with Iain Duncan Smith,
0:18:42 > 0:18:43and lowest combined score, too.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Who knows what will happen in this round?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Could be very interesting. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Phew. The End Of The Alphabet.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:56 > 0:18:58who's going to go second,
0:18:58 > 0:19:00and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07OK, and the question concerns...
0:19:11 > 0:19:13There we are. Richard.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Yeah, on each board we're going to show you six clues,
0:19:15 > 0:19:18and the answers to each of those clues either begin X, Y, or Z.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20So six on the first board, six on the second,
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- 12 in all to have a go at at home. Good luck.- Thanks very much.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26OK, so we are looking for the words described by these clues.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29And here is our first board of six clues.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00There we go. I'm going to read those one last time.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Ulf.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- Yes.- Mm-hm...
0:20:32 > 0:20:37- All these words begin with a X, a Y, or a Z.- Yeah.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40I'll go for the TV show
0:20:40 > 0:20:43and say Xena, starts with a X, Warrior Princess.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Xena: Warrior Princess, says Ulf. Let's see if that's right,
0:20:46 > 0:20:49let's see how many of our 100 people went for Xena: Warrior Princess.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53It's right.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Oh, that's a good answer. Well done.
0:20:59 > 0:21:0120 for Xena.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02APPLAUSE
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Well played, Ulf.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Xena's costume is now at the Smithsonian Institute.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Lucy Lawless donated it.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12I presume they were happy.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Do you know, I'm not a watcher of Xena: Warrior Princess,
0:21:15 > 0:21:17so I can't picture that costume.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Describe it for me.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19It's a sort of...
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Imagine a warrior princess.- Yes.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- Imagine what she might wear. - I'm picturing a beautiful dress
0:21:26 > 0:21:28with armour plates.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Armour plates, definitely.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- Yeah, not so much... She's not a princess like a...- OK.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- That's just her heraldic title.- OK.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- She's more of a warrior than a princess.- More of a warrior.- Yeah.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40OK. Thank you very much, indeed.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- Um, Imy.- OK.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45So I know the top or the bottom.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49I think they're both going to be high.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51I'm going to go with xylophone for the musical instrument.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Xylophone, says Imy.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Let's see how many of our 100 people said xylophone.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00It's right.
0:22:01 > 0:22:0462 for xylophone.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06APPLAUSE
0:22:06 > 0:22:08I think that was lower than I was expecting.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10I thought it was much lower than I was expecting.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I thought that would be very high.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Xylophone is wood and a metal one is a glockenspiel.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Yeah, I mean, xylophone is like the poster object for the letter X.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22You would think if there was a round with X words, that might pop up.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23- Yeah.- And it did.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- And it did.- Yeah.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26There we are.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Good. Now then, Ian, this board's all yours.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31The X, the Y and the Z.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I think I know all of them.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39I think the top one that's left is Zero Dark Thirty.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Then the springy character is Zebedee.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45A large domesticated or wild ox is a yak.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49And then I really hope I don't get this one wrong.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52The Persian king, Xerxes.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Xerxes, says Ian.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Xerxes.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00It's absolutely right.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Now 62 is our high score, which you pass, unsurprisingly.
0:23:03 > 0:23:0420 is our low score,
0:23:04 > 0:23:05which you pass.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Down you go to 12, very well done indeed, Ian.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09APPLAUSE
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Good work.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13Very well played, Ian.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Do you know what, Zero Dark Thirty is actually a much better answer.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- Wow!- Zero Dark Thirty would have scored you 2 points.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Isn't that amazing? Very well done if you said that at home.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Zebedee. Zebedee scores more than a xylophone.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- LAUGHTER - Zebedee scores 65.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31And the bottom one is yak.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35And that would have scored you 50 points.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Thank you very much indeed. We're halfway through our second round.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39Let's take a look at those scores.
0:23:39 > 0:23:4212, Ian, very well done. The best score of that pass.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Ian and Richard looking like strong contenders for the head-to-head,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47as I would say are Ulf and Yoshi.
0:23:47 > 0:23:4962, you're a bit ahead there, Imy.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Gerry, we need a nice low score from you. Good luck with that.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54We're going to come back down the line -
0:23:54 > 0:23:56can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01OK, let's put six more clues up on the board and here they are.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03We've got...
0:24:28 > 0:24:30I'm going to read those all again.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55There we are. Richard.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57You're on 12.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00If you can score 49 or less, you are already in the head-to-head.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I'm pretty sure I know all of them.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05It's just deciding which one's going to be the lowest,
0:25:05 > 0:25:07which I think would be the territory of Canada
0:25:07 > 0:25:10that shares a border with Alaska is the Yukon.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Yukon, says Richard. Let's see if that's right.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Let's see how many people said it. There's your red line.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Very well done indeed.
0:25:23 > 0:25:2526 for Yukon. APPLAUSE
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Taking your total up to 38.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Yeah, the border between Alaska and the Yukon
0:25:30 > 0:25:34is a completely straight line for 647 miles.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35Mmm.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Phew.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39There you are. Thank you very much indeed. Now, Gerry.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41you are still the high-scorers.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43I only know a couple.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Um, the one I'm going to go for,
0:25:45 > 0:25:48I hope I'm pronouncing it right is Yosemite for the bottom one.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Yosemite for the national park. Let's see if it's right.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53No red line, you're the high-scorers.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Yosemite.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Ooh...
0:26:00 > 0:26:01Gerry.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Yes. I'm afraid not Yosemite.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 162.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Yeah, Yosemite in California, I'm afraid.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11You definitely won't be the only person who's made that mistake.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13I'll guarantee it.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Mm. Thank you very much, indeed.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Now, Yoshi, this board's all yours. You're through.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- You're through to the next round... - That's a relief.- ..which is great.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Talk us through this board if you can and fill in all the blanks.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25I can make up answers.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Of course you can.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29The electromagnetic waves is X-ray.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I think that would be high. The Greek pianist,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34I just keep thinking really inappropriate cliched surnames.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36I'm not going to even try.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Alphabet, I keep thinking of zeta,
0:26:38 > 0:26:40but I don't even know if that exists.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42I'm going to go for xenophobia for the top one.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46OK. Xenophobia, says Yoshi. No red line, you're already through.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Let's see how many of our 100 went for xenophobia.
0:26:54 > 0:26:5751. APPLAUSE
0:26:57 > 0:26:5951, which takes your total up to 71.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01But you are through.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Very safely through, well done.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- You were right about zeta.- Oh.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09That would have scored you 12 points.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Um, the pianist is Yanni.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- He's been on this show before. Not ON the show, but as an answer.- Yes.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- I still don't really know who he is. - I don't really know either.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19One point for that.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22The electromagnetic waves are, of course, X-rays.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23It would have scored you 63.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25And the national park?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27- Yellowstone. - Yellowstone National Park.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29That would have scored you 39.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31So Yanni, whoever he is, is the best answer on that board.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Well done if you got that.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35There we are. Thank you very much, indeed, Richard.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37At the end of the second round the pair we have to send home
0:27:37 > 0:27:40with their high score of 162, Gerry and Imy, I'm afraid it's you.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- You did twice as well this show as you did last time.- Yeah, we did.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45It was all good. Brilliant improvement in terms of effort
0:27:45 > 0:27:47and attainment there. So well done.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49I'm afraid we still didn't get you into the head-to-head.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Never mind, it's been great having you on.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Thank you so much, Gerry and Imy.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55APPLAUSE
0:27:57 > 0:28:00For the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Congratulations, Richard and Ian, Ulf and Yoshi,
0:28:06 > 0:28:08we're now one step closer to the final
0:28:08 > 0:28:10and a chance to play for the jackpot,
0:28:10 > 0:28:13which currently stands at £1,000.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14We've reached the head-to-head,
0:28:14 > 0:28:16which means you're now allowed to start playing as a team.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18You can confer before you give your answers.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Well, Richard and Ian, first time you've been here on Pointless,
0:28:24 > 0:28:27straight through to the head-to-head as our low-scoring couple.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28Very, very well done, indeed.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Ulf and Yoshi, you've been here before.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33In fact, you were our low-scoring couple last time.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35So you know what the pitfalls are.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38I think this is going to be one of our hardest-fought head-to-heads
0:28:38 > 0:28:39we've had for a long time.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Very, very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play it.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49Here is your first question.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51And, it concerns...
0:28:54 > 0:28:57- Richard.- We're going to show you five pictures now of actors
0:28:57 > 0:29:01in action movies but can you name the movies, please?
0:29:01 > 0:29:02OK.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05So can you name the movies from which these stars come?
0:29:30 > 0:29:32There we go.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Five action stars.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35Now, Richard and Ian,
0:29:35 > 0:29:38you've been our low-scorers so you will go first.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42THEY CONFER
0:29:42 > 0:29:45We're not certain of one.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49We're going for E, Underworld.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51E, Underworld, say Richard and Ian.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53E, Underworld.
0:29:53 > 0:29:54Now Ulf and Yoshi.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- Do you want to talk us through that whole board?- I think I can.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59I think A is Charlie's Angels.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01I think B is Jackie Brown.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04C is one of the X-Men. I imagine that's the first
0:30:04 > 0:30:06and D is The Hunger Games.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08But it has to be Underworld.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10So hopefully B will be Jackie Brown.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12You're going to say B, Jackie Brown.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14So we have Underworld and we have Jackie Brown.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18Richard and Ian have gone for E and have said Underworld.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Let's see if that's right,
0:30:19 > 0:30:22let's see how many of our 100 people said Underworld.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25It's right.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32That is a great answer. APPLAUSE
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Very well done, indeed. 10 for Underworld.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41Ulf and Yoshi, meanwhile, have gone for B and said Jackie Brown.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Ooh!
0:30:48 > 0:30:50- Ooh, I thought it was Jackie Brown too.- Oh, good!- So did we.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53LAUGHTER It turns out it's not Jackie Brown,
0:30:53 > 0:30:55which means very well done, indeed, Richard and Ian.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Yeah, lots of people will think it's Jackie Brown.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01It is Pam Grier who was in Jackie Brown but this is her
0:31:01 > 0:31:05a lot younger in Foxy Brown, is the answer there.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Very well done if you said that.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09It would have scored you 1 point.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11It's a terrific answer.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12A is Charlie's Angels.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16That would have scored you 29.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18C, absolutely right, X-Men.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Halle Berry there.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22It would have scored you 22.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25And you're absolutely right about D, it's The Hunger Games,
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Jennifer Lawrence, and that would have scored you 33.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29Thank you very much, indeed.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31So here's comes your second question.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Ulf and Yoshi, you get to answer this one first
0:31:33 > 0:31:35but you have to win it to stay in the game.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37So best of luck with that.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Our second question is all about...
0:31:43 > 0:31:47- Richard.- I'm simply going to give you five clues to discoveries that
0:31:47 > 0:31:51happened by accident. Can you give us the most obscure answer, please?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Thank you very much, indeed. OK. Let's reveal our five clues,
0:31:53 > 0:31:56and here they come. We have got...
0:32:28 > 0:32:30I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Ulf and Yoshi, you will go first.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05I think we're going to go for the bottom one
0:33:05 > 0:33:07and say Rosetta Stone.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Rosetta Stone, say Ulf and Yoshi.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Now then, Richard and Ian.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Talk us through that board if you can.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Er, the top one, I think, is saccharin.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Penicillin.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- I do not know what that is and I do not know...- Match.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Yeah. Ah, yeah.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27We knew Rosetta Stone, as well.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30- Is match going to beat Rosetta Stone?- No, cos I reckon...
0:33:30 > 0:33:33OK, we'll go for the top one, saccharin.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35You're going to go for saccharin for the top one.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37So we have Rosetta Stone and we have saccharin.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Now Ulf and Yoshi have gone for Rosetta Stone.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47It's right.
0:33:51 > 0:33:5240.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54APPLAUSE
0:33:56 > 0:33:57What are we thinking?
0:33:57 > 0:33:58We think they're going to win.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03I haven't got... I've never heard of the word he said, so...
0:34:03 > 0:34:06OK, Richard and Ian have gone for saccharin.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07Let's see if that's right.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Let's see how many of our 100 people said saccharin.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14Saccharin's right.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18And it wins.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Look at that, just - 33.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22APPLAUSE Very close, indeed.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25My goodness me, but very well done, indeed, Richard and Ian.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26It means, after only two questions,
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- you are straight through to the final, 2-0.- Very well played.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32He forgot to wash his hands after leaving the lab,
0:34:32 > 0:34:34ate some bread and realised it tasted sweet,
0:34:34 > 0:34:36the guy behind saccharin.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40- Now the drug discovered by Alexander Fleming...- Is Penicillin.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Yeah, a big scorer there.
0:34:42 > 0:34:4586. Now this next one created by chemists etc, etc.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- Is it gunpowder?- Gunpowder, yeah.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Yeah, is exactly the answer -
0:34:49 > 0:34:51it would've been a terrific answer to give.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52It would have scored you 22 points.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Ah! No!
0:34:54 > 0:34:55And the common name for this...
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Matches is exactly the answer and it's the best answer on the board,
0:34:58 > 0:35:00as well. It would have scored you 10 points.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02He failed to patent it.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Sold his first one in Stockton-upon-Tees in 1827.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Didn't patent it and a Londoner made lucifers,
0:35:08 > 0:35:11which are far more famous, and made all the money.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13He went off to make whisky instead.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Johnny Walker, yeah. And present radio shows.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17- And present radio shows. - Yeah, he did all right.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18Thank you very much, indeed.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:21 > 0:35:22I'm afraid it's Ulf and Yoshi.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Twice in the head-to-head,
0:35:24 > 0:35:27twice you performed fantastically right across the show.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31And twice, I'm afraid, you've been denied entrance to the grand finale.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33I'm so sorry we're sending you home now.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Brilliant to have you on the show, thank you so much, Ulf and Yoshi.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38- APPLAUSE - Thank you for having us.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43But for Ian and Richard, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Congratulations, Richard and Ian,
0:35:49 > 0:35:50you have seen off all the competition
0:35:50 > 0:35:53and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,000.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08There it is. Well, what a fantastic stealth raid
0:36:08 > 0:36:10on the Pointless trophy cupboard there.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Brilliant, you came in...
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Our three returning pairs - you saw them all off.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17We did feel very bad. We met them in the green room,
0:36:17 > 0:36:20they're all lovely but we can't do much about it.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26We are Spurs fans so we've been sort of taught to be at the top
0:36:26 > 0:36:28and then drop very quickly, so...
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- You never know.- You never know.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Anything you'd particularly like to see come up in this last round?
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Spurs.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38- Friends, Neighbours, football. - Tottenham.- Tottenham.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40That's Spurs, yeah.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42- OK, there we are.- If they both come up, that'll be great.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Good luck. As always, you get to choose your category
0:36:45 > 0:36:46from the four we put on the board behind me.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Let's see what today's selection looks like. We've got...
0:36:56 > 0:37:00- None of those. - Can we have a new category?
0:37:00 > 0:37:01- I'd go for golf.- Golf.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03I think that's the only one I know anything about.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05But I don't know an awful lot about it.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- Golf.- OK, golf it is. - We're going for golf, apparently.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12OK, very best of luck. Three different questions here.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14We're looking for any of the following, please.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18We're looking for the name of any of the holes at Augusta National,
0:37:18 > 0:37:19the home of the US Masters.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22We are looking for the name of anyone who's played on five
0:37:22 > 0:37:26or more Ryder Cup teams for either side
0:37:26 > 0:37:29since 1927 up to the 2014 tournament.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33Or we're looking for any countries that hosted an event
0:37:33 > 0:37:36on the 2015 European Tour.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40So holes at Augusta, golfers who've played in five or more Ryder Cups
0:37:40 > 0:37:44and countries that have hosted an event on the 2015 European Tour.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46- Very best of luck. - Thank you very much, indeed.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48As always, you've got up to one minute
0:37:48 > 0:37:50to come up with three answers. All you need to win that jackpot
0:37:50 > 0:37:52is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- Are you ready?- No.- Yes.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Good. Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01OK, holes at Augusta.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Is there one called...?
0:38:03 > 0:38:05I'm sure there's lots of names of them,
0:38:05 > 0:38:07but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09That might be at the Grand National.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Do the golfers have to have played in the Ryder Cup?
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- Yeah, five or more Ryder Cups, yeah. - Captains don't count?
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- Non-playing captains don't count. - OK.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Poulter would probably have done five, I would have thought.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Davis Love. Someone a bit like...
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- Yeah, it doesn't have to be English. - ..Ben Crenshaw.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Someone who got... Like, someone who...
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Ben Crenshaw, I think, would be quite a good one.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33- ..doesn't come to mind when you say golfer.- Davis Love?
0:38:33 > 0:38:36And then countries, I guess we could just guess a country from Europe.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- That might... - A European Tour country.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Yeah, just guess a European country,
0:38:41 > 0:38:43unless we know definite golfers.
0:38:43 > 0:38:44Oh, Dad's going to kill us.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Yeah, he is going to be furious if we don't get any of these right.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49- So, Davis Love.- Ten seconds left.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51- Ben Crenshaw. And...?- Ian Poulter?
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Yeah, we might as well go for three of them because...
0:38:54 > 0:38:56OK, yeah. We've got three answers.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58OK, you've got your three answers. There we are. Your time is now up.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00If you could tell me the three answers
0:39:00 > 0:39:01and say which category each one is,
0:39:01 > 0:39:03- that'd be great.- They are all in
0:39:03 > 0:39:06the Golfers Who Have Played At Five Or More Ryder Cups.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09- OK.- We're going for Ben Crenshaw... - Ben Crenshaw.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- ..Ian Poulter...- Ian Poulter.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- ..and Davis Love III. - Davis Love III.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:18 > 0:39:20- BOTH:- Ben Crenshaw. - Ben Crenshaw goes last.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22- Least likely to be pointless? - Probably Ian Poulter,
0:39:22 > 0:39:24- just cos people would have guessed him.- OK.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29And here they are. We have got...
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Very best of luck. Three good answers on the board there.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37If one of those turns out to be pointless
0:39:37 > 0:39:40and wins that jackpot for you, what would you like to do with it?
0:39:40 > 0:39:42- Richard, you first. - I mistakenly told all my friends
0:39:42 > 0:39:45I was coming on here and they said, if I won the prize,
0:39:45 > 0:39:46I had to take them all out for dinner,
0:39:46 > 0:39:47so that didn't go down too well.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Luckily, you've only got three friends.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51What a relief! LAUGHTER
0:39:51 > 0:39:55- Ian, how about you?- I'd probably put it towards a holiday.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- I haven't been away for long enough, so...- Very good. Well, best of luck.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Let's hope one of these answers wins that jackpot for you.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02Your first answer is Ian Poulter.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04In this case - in fact, in all cases -
0:40:04 > 0:40:07we were looking for golfers who'd played in five or more Ryder Cups.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Your first answer, Ian Poulter, has to be pointless for you to win.
0:40:10 > 0:40:15Let's find out, for £1,000, how many of our 100 people said Ian Poulter.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20It's right. Down it goes.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Now, if Ian Poulter takes us all the way down to 0,
0:40:22 > 0:40:24you will leave with that jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26We go down into the teens,
0:40:26 > 0:40:28into single figures. Still going down.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Down it goes to 3 for Ian Poulter.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Not bad at all.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36APPLAUSE
0:40:36 > 0:40:38That's a great score.
0:40:38 > 0:40:39Sadly, not a pointless answer,
0:40:39 > 0:40:41so we have to look at your next answer,
0:40:41 > 0:40:42which is Davis Love III.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Once again, we're looking for golfers
0:40:44 > 0:40:47who have played in five or more Ryder Cups.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Davis Love III has to be pointless for you to win.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53So, for £1,000, let's see how many people said Davis Love III.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59It's right again. Now, your first answer, Ian Poulter,
0:40:59 > 0:41:00took us all the way down to 3.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Davis Love III takes us down through the 20s,
0:41:03 > 0:41:04into the teens,
0:41:04 > 0:41:06into single figures. Down it goes.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Still going down. We've passed 3.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09You've done it!
0:41:09 > 0:41:11CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:11 > 0:41:15Oh, very well done indeed. Superb work there.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22Very well done indeed. Congratulations.
0:41:22 > 0:41:23It was a pointless answer,
0:41:23 > 0:41:25which means you go home with our jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Superb work, Richard and Ian.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30APPLAUSE
0:41:30 > 0:41:33Very well played, gents. Yeah, saw off three returning pairs
0:41:33 > 0:41:35and then come through and winning that,
0:41:35 > 0:41:38taking that jackpot back to the NHS in Swansea.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Congratulations. Now, let's take a look at the pointless answers
0:41:41 > 0:41:42in the different categories, shall we?
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Augusta holes -
0:41:44 > 0:41:47they're all named after plant life on each of the holes...
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Everything apart from Tea Olive, Azalea, Golden Bell,
0:41:51 > 0:41:52Camellia and Magnolia.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Everything else was a pointless answer.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Loads and loads of pointless answers in this next category
0:41:57 > 0:41:59where you came across Davis Love III.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Not Ben Crenshaw. Played in four. Was also captain, of course.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Darren Clarke played in five, won four.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Jim Furyk - played in nine so far.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09He's only won two, which goes to show how dominant Europe have been.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Lee Trevino, Sandy Lyle, Curtis Strange, Dai Rees,
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Fred Couples, Gene Littler, Gene Sarazen, Hale Irwin,
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Howard Clark, Ken Brown, Lanny Wadkins,
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Mark James, Mark O'Meara, Neil Coles.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Padraig Harrington, a pointless answer.
0:42:21 > 0:42:22Payne Stewart, also.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Peter Oosterhuis, Ray Floyd, Sam Snead.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Sergio Garcia, a pointless answer. Stewart Cink and Walter Hagen.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Very well done if you said any of those.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32And the countries that hosted events.
0:42:32 > 0:42:33Lots of these events on the European Tour
0:42:33 > 0:42:36are not held in European countries, funnily enough.
0:42:36 > 0:42:37A few of those would have been good answers.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Denmark, a pointless answer. So is Mauritius.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42That's a nice tour to play on, isn't it? Russia.
0:42:42 > 0:42:43UAE held a couple.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Czech Republic, Morocco, Qatar and Turkey -
0:42:45 > 0:42:47those were the pointless answers there.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:49 > 0:42:50Thank you very much indeed.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Well, thanks once again to our winning players,
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Richard and Ian, who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59Very well done. APPLAUSE
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Join us next time when we'll be putting
0:43:01 > 0:43:03more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:07 > 0:43:12APPLAUSE
