0:00:16 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:24 > 0:00:25and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27the game where we are always looking
0:00:27 > 0:00:28for the obscure and ignoring the obvious.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Hi, I'm Maria. My friend's Sarah.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41I'm from Southampton and she's rom Poole.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Couple number two.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Hello, I'm Rebecca and I'm from Margate,
0:00:44 > 0:00:46and this is Lee, he's from Colchester.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Couple number three.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Hiya, I'm Liam and this is
0:00:49 > 0:00:51my girlfriend Amber. We are both from Gloucester.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Martin.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57This is my daughter Lucie and we're both from Leeds.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58These are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Thanks very much all of you. A very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04We'll get to chat to each of you
0:01:04 > 0:01:06throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Here to test our mettle while you put on the kettle,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Good afternoon.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20I like that. That could be my slogan.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- There you are.- Here to test your mettle while you put on the kettle.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25It's good. I wonder how many people ARE putting on cups of tea.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27A lot of people are having tea.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29I would imagine they would have done the tea before now.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- They don't want to miss this. - I wouldn't have thought so.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Some people may be watching from the kitchen doorway.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38A bit of shouting through. "Who's on today?"
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Yeah, they go, "They're doing a round on Politics?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43"No, I won't... I'm going to make the tea.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45"Formula 1? No, I don't think so."
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Now a very weird occurrence. It doesn't happen very often.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Four entirely new pairs.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- This hasn't happened for like 80 shows.- At least.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Which is statistically weird.- Yeah.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57You would think it would happen often but four entirely new pairs,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00we haven't got a clue what anyone's like.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02They could be geniuses. It should be lots of fun.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Yeah. Thank you very much, indeed.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Ian and Richard won the jackpot last time,
0:02:06 > 0:02:10so even that starts off as a clean sweep right across the board.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Our jackpot is new as well. That starts off at £1,000.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25OK, the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be
0:02:25 > 0:02:28eliminated. That's the thing you have to remember.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32No conferring, remember, until we get to the head-to-head.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Our first category today is...
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first
0:02:39 > 0:02:40and who's going to go second...
0:02:40 > 0:02:43and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48The question concerns...
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- Richard.- On each board we're going to show you the names of seven books
0:02:57 > 0:02:58and we're going to give the initials
0:02:58 > 0:03:00of the city in which they are mainly set.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Can you tell us what that city is?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Seven on the first board, seven on the second, 14 in all to play.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- Good luck.- Thanks very much, indeed.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09OK, so we're looking for the cities in which these books are set.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Here is our first board of seven.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13We have got...
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Here we go.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Maria, welcome to Pointless.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Good to have you here. What do you do, Maria?
0:04:14 > 0:04:19I work for a large high street chain store in the food department.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Right. Are you actually on the floor of the shop?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I actually go round making sure the stock file is accurate,
0:04:25 > 0:04:28so I do a lot of counting and making sure there's stock available.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31You're busy running to and fro making sure it's all there?
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Yes, that is what I do.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Very good. Maria, what are your interests?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I like to read.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I like art. I like to cook.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- I like to eat.- OK. Oh, God, eating's so important.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- Definitely, yeah.- So important.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Reading's so important too.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48What a great round for you, then.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Maybe.- What would you like to go for?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Um...
0:04:53 > 0:04:57I do know a few of them but I'm going to go for
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Crime And Punishment.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- I'm going to say St Petersburg. - St Petersburg, says Maria.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Let's see if that's right. Let's see
0:05:03 > 0:05:05how many of our 100 people said St Petersburg.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09It's right.
0:05:13 > 0:05:1533.
0:05:15 > 0:05:1733 for St Petersburg.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Born and raised in Moscow, Dostoevsky, but spent most of
0:05:21 > 0:05:24his life in St Petersburg, lots of his novels set there.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Thank you very much, Richard. Lee, welcome.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- Thank you.- What do you do, Lee?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I'm a play worker in a before and after school club.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36That's fun. So a play worker means what exactly?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I work and play at the same time.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41XANDER GASPS
0:05:41 > 0:05:42At one and the same time?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- One and the same. - Playing and working.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Yesterday I made flapjacks with the children.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Wow.- I know. - You see, what about that?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- We should do that.- We could do that while we're doing the show.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Just you and I making flapjacks.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Get this replaced with a small...
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- A small oven.- A little oven.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- That would be nice. - That would be nice.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05We could do the rounds like this, and every so often I could say,
0:06:05 > 0:06:07"What I'm doing now, that is the right consistency there,
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- "it's holding its peaks."- Yeah.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11"That is now ready for me to put to one side."
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Bring it over. I'll pop it in.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Give that 15 minutes.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22OK, lovely, which is just enough time for us to do this round.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- It's a really good idea. - A brilliant idea.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- Yeah, Lee, you can have a part of that, as well.- Thank you.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33A play worker, that's lovely, what a nice thing to do.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Is that sort of in term time or does that run right across?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39It is term time but we also run a holiday club as well.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Right.- So we've got them for the whole day during the holidays,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45which is pretty tough but a lot of fun as well.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48A lot of fun too. Lee, quick question,
0:06:48 > 0:06:51did you finish all the flapjacks or maybe you had a couple left over?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53They're being eaten today, actually.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56So we made them yesterday and they are eating them today.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58OK, that's a shame.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- That is a shame. I do love a flapjack.- I make a good one.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Yeah. No, that's not in doubt. That's not in doubt.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Lee, what would you like to go for on the board?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I know a couple but I think they are probably quite obvious ones.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12I'm going to try something
0:07:12 > 0:07:16that's probably very obvious but seems like the best shot to me,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19The Commitments,
0:07:19 > 0:07:20I want to say Dublin.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Dublin, says Lee. Let's see if that's right.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Dublin.
0:07:31 > 0:07:3251.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Not bad. 51 for Dublin.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Yeah, he was born in Dublin, as well, Roddy Doyle.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Andrea Corr of The Corrs had a small part in the movie
0:07:41 > 0:07:43and the rest of the band were also extras
0:07:43 > 0:07:45and the musical director of the film sort of met up
0:07:45 > 0:07:48with them on the film and became their manager.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- There we are. Thank you very much, indeed. Amber.- Hello.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here. What you do, Amber?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I'm studying science at the University of South Wales.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- And how is South Wales? - Yeah, no, it's good.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02I'm hoping to finish this year and then go on to study marine biology.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Lovely. Where would you do that? - In Swansea.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I see, so sticking with the Wales theme.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Yeah. And sticking with whales as well.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Marine... I'll shut up.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Now, Amber, what are your hobbies?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Because I want to study marine biology,
0:08:16 > 0:08:18I've recently taken up scuba diving.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- Yes, important.- Yes.- Otherwise you have to send other people down to do
0:08:22 > 0:08:24your marine biology work for you.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Your practical work. How's that going?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Yeah, I passed my qualification a couple of weeks ago.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31See, that's fun. Suddenly a whole new type of holiday
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- opens up for you. - Yeah.- Is it something that you would
0:08:34 > 0:08:36like to do for fun as well as part of your...?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Yeah, I'm hoping that I can take this one to when we go on holiday
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- in the summer, but he's not too keen.- I'm not very keen at all.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45He's really not keen.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Amber, what would you like to go for on our board?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I think the only one I know is the bottom one.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52And is it Paris?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Paris, says Amber, for The Hunchback Of Notre Dame.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Let's find out if it's Paris.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Yup, it is right.
0:09:04 > 0:09:0785 is what you score for Paris.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11In fact, in French its title is "Notre-Dame de Paris".
0:09:11 > 0:09:13There we are. Thank you.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Now, Lucie.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Welcome to Pointless. You're from Leeds, Lucie.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Leeds.- What do you do up in lovely Leeds?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22I'm a student at Leeds Uni doing politics.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Politics, very interesting. How's that going? Are you enjoying it?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27It could be worse.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- So...- Oh, well, there's a ringing endorsement, yeah, wonderful.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33How many years have you been reading politics?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35I'm in my second year this year.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37What other things have you been getting up to in Leeds
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- while you're there?- I've got a part-time job
0:09:39 > 0:09:41at a lingerie shop, as well, so...
0:09:41 > 0:09:42Other than that I just sleep, really.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45That's fine. Lingerie, sleep and politics.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- Yeah.- That's what we all need. - Great combination.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49This board is all yours, Lucie.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Would you like to go through it and fill in all the blanks for us?
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Well, the only one I've actually read is Crime And Punishment.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I was gutted when that one got said.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Other than that the only one I know is New York for Catcher In The Rye.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- I couldn't even guess at the others. - OK, so you want to go for that one.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07New York for Catcher In The Rye.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Let's see how many of our 100 people went for New York.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14It's right.
0:10:15 > 0:10:1769. There we are. Not bad.
0:10:17 > 0:10:1969 for New York.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Well played, Lucie. No harm done there.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Let's fill in the rest of these, shall we?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- Northanger Abbey.- Bath.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Is Bath. Yeah.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30That would have scored you 10 points. It's a good answer.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32The Time Traveler's Wife...
0:10:32 > 0:10:33- Chicago.- ..is Chicago. Yeah.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35That would've scored ten points.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Now, The Shadow Of The Wind,
0:10:36 > 0:10:40which is a book about the guy who passes wind in well-lit rooms.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42LAUGHTER
0:10:42 > 0:10:46That's his job, and it's set in Barcelona.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47That would have scored four points.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Very well done if you said that. Best answer up there.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Thank you, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Let's take a look at the scores. 33 the best score of the pass,
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Maria, very well done indeed,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59then we travel up from there to 51, where we find Lee and Rebecca,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01then up to 69, where we find Lucie and Martin,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04then up to 85, Amber and Liam.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Liam, we need a low score from you
0:11:05 > 0:11:07in the next round. Good luck with that.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09We'll come back down the line.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:13 > 0:11:17OK, let's put seven more book clues up on the board,
0:11:17 > 0:11:20and here they are. We have...
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Let me read them one more time.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Martin, welcome here from Leeds.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- Yes.- And what do you do, Martin?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I'm an electrical engineering manager
0:12:14 > 0:12:16for a large health care provider.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Very good. And what are your interests, Martin?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I like a game of golf, playing off ten at the moment,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I like to go to the gym, do a bit of cooking.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Very good. What sort of cooking do you do?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Do you have a particular style of cooking?
0:12:30 > 0:12:31- I like to make a curry.- Aw!
0:12:31 > 0:12:34It's got to be said my curry nights are quite legendary.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Now, do you follow a recipe these days or have you made...
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- No, of course not. Recipes?- No!
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- No, no, no.- Now, do you like a spicy curry, Martin?
0:12:41 > 0:12:42I do like a spicy curry.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47Now, do you make your curry spicy as it is or do you leave a bit of
0:12:47 > 0:12:49spice on the side so you can spice up
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Martin's very own serving of curry?
0:12:50 > 0:12:54I'm generally pouring things in to bring it down a notch, or two,
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- to be honest with you.- OK.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Very good indeed. Now, Martin, you're on 69.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01The high-scorers are Liam and Amber on 85.
0:13:01 > 0:13:0515 or less would definitely get you into Round Two.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07I don't think it's going to be 15 or less.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09There's three of them I know up there and I'm going to have a punt
0:13:09 > 0:13:11at Trainspotting being Edinburgh.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Edinburgh, says Martin.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Here is your red line. Should you get below the red line,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18you go through to the next round automatically.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Let's see how many of our 100 people said Edinburgh.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23It's right.
0:13:26 > 0:13:2955. Not bad. Not bad.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Taking total up to 124.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Now everyone's got something to aim for.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Yeah, the book that really made Irvine Welsh's name
0:13:35 > 0:13:37and he was born in Edinburgh.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- Now then, Liam.- Hello.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Not keen on scuba diving, Liam.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- No, not really.- What, do you think you might get claustrophobic?
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Yeah, I think so. I'm just not a big fan of swimming in general,
0:13:50 > 0:13:52to be honest. Of being in the water.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Perfectly valid. That's right.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Now, Liam, what do you do?
0:13:55 > 0:13:59- I study aeronautical engineering at university.- You're an air person.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01That's right. Definitely. Definitely.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Not a water person.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05That's exciting, aeronautical engineering.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06How far into that are you?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08I've just done my third year.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- Right.- So I'm hoping to go on and do my masters next year.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12I see and where will you do that?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14I'll do that at the University of South Wales
0:14:14 > 0:14:16because I'm there at the moment.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19I see, you'll stay there. And then... I mean, that means
0:14:19 > 0:14:21off you go into aeronautical engineering, I suppose.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- Yeah, hopefully.- Yeah. Where would you hope to do that?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Where are the big bases of that?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Maybe something to do with aircraft engine,
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- that's what I'm most fascinated with.- Yeah.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34So I definitely... Or maybe even a pilot.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36See that's... Or maybe even a pilot? You'd maybe do that for fun.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38But the engine, I mean, is that something
0:14:38 > 0:14:40you've been mad about all your life?
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Yeah, that's brilliant, yeah.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44I always follow and keep up-to-date with it, follow the news.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Fantastic. Well, there you are. Listen, Liam, you're on 85.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50If you can score 38 or less, you will go through to the next round.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52How are you feeling about this board?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Not very good. Literature's not good for me at all.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I do know... I definitely know one, I think.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01But we need a low score.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03I'm just going to take a guess.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05I'm just going to go with the city beginning with L
0:15:05 > 0:15:08for High Fidelity and I'm going to say Leicester.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11OK, Leicester, says Liam.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Here is your red line. If you get below that with Leicester,
0:15:13 > 0:15:14you are into the next round.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Let's see how many of our 100 people said Leicester for High Fidelity.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25No! I'm afraid it's not Leicester, Liam, which scores you 100 points,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28takes your total up to an unbeatable 185.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30I'll give the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- Rebecca, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.- Lovely to have you here.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- What do you do, Rebecca? - I'm a performance artist.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Do you know, I think you're the first performance artist we've had on the show.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Very proudly so.- Well, that's wonderful. What sort of...?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- Do you write your own performance art?- I do.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49We perform together, actually. That's one of our things.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51That's fun. I mean, performance art, I always think is...
0:15:51 > 0:15:53I mean... Forgive me if I say this,
0:15:53 > 0:15:55but sometimes it can be quite comical.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- We hope so.- Can't it? It feels a little bit
0:15:57 > 0:16:00like a sort of realm of sketch performance in a way.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I mean, a little sort of little subdivision of sketch in a way.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Yeah, there's a lot body stuff in it.- Yeah. Well, that's true.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Where do you tend to do it? I mean, is there a space where people
0:16:08 > 0:16:10come to watch performance art or do you do it
0:16:10 > 0:16:13in public spaces for people just to be surprised by?
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Well, really both, actually.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18We do stuff in galleries, we do stuff in our living rooms and, yes,
0:16:18 > 0:16:21we've done some site-specific stuff where we just turn up and hopefully
0:16:21 > 0:16:23people enjoy it to some degree.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Excellent. I'm fascinated by this.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31I'm now quite keen to see a Rebecca-Lee performance art piece.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Perhaps if they win the jackpot
0:16:32 > 0:16:35we might get a little demonstration, I don't know.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Anyway, Rebecca, you're through to the next round, which is good news.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39It doesn't matter what you score
0:16:39 > 0:16:42here but I think you've probably got a good answer or two for this board.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46I don't want to be smug, but I think I know them all.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51I'm going to take a chance on the one I'm not completely sure of
0:16:51 > 0:16:53because it's good to challenge yourself
0:16:53 > 0:16:57and I'm going to say A Confederacy Of Dunces, New Orleans.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00New Orleans, I like that, in the authentic pronunciation.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02New Orleans as we say.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Let's see. New Orleans, no red line for you as you're already through.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Let's see how many of our 100 people went for that.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17There we are, very well done indeed.
0:17:17 > 0:17:2125, which is our lowest score so far.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Very well done indeed, taking your total up to 76.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Yes, a wonderful book A Confederacy Of Dunces.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28He struggled to get it published,
0:17:28 > 0:17:31it was turned down by publisher after publisher and he died sadly
0:17:31 > 0:17:34and his mum got it published finally,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- and now it's an acknowledged American classic.- Mmm.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Thank you very much indeed.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Now, Sarah, welcome to Pointless.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42- Hello.- Good to have you here.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- What do you do, Sarah?- I'm a self-employed dog walker.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Ah! Now, that is fun, do you have a company?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Yes, I run my own little business that I set up.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53That's very nice.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56And how many dogs do you have under your care?
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Um...
0:17:57 > 0:17:59I've got about sort of 15 on my books.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02I don't walk them all together, obviously.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04What's the largest number you've taken out?
0:18:04 > 0:18:07I try and keep it quite small so I've got my own dog.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Can I just say, "Hello" to him?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I think not, no. Of course you can!
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Of course you can, what's your dog called?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15He's called Godfrey, he always watches the show.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Godfrey, hello, Godfrey.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Lovely, what sort of dog is Godfrey?
0:18:19 > 0:18:23He's a big, fluffy cross golden retriever, poodle and Labrador.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Wow! Exciting, that's a big dog.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- A bit of a character.- A great character, lovely.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- And Godfrey gets on with all the other dogs that you walk?- Yes.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Fabulous, now, Sarah, you are on 33.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35It doesn't matter what you score,
0:18:35 > 0:18:37you're through to the next round whatever you score.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Do you want to talk us through the board?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Um, I could have talked you through the other board.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43I'm struggling on this one.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Obviously, the top one is Rome.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53High Fidelity, I thought it was London, but I... Liverpool?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55The Third Man, Venice.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I think I'll just go for the top one, Rome.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59You're going to go for Rome for I, Claudius.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03No red line, you are already through.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06It's right.
0:19:07 > 0:19:0971, there we are,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11taking your total up to 104.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Let's fill in the rest of these, shall we?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- High Fidelity.- London. - It is London, yes.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21And it would have scored you 47 points.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22- After Dark.- Tokyo.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Tokyo, yeah, Murakami. It would have scored you 12.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- The Third Man.- Vienna.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29It was Vienna. 27 points.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Now, the bottom answer, this is the toughie.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37It's Savannah, Savannah, Georgia. Very well done if you said that.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- It would have scored you two points. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Well, we're at the end of our first round.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45The pair we have to send home with their high score of 185 I'm afraid,
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Liam and Amber, it is you.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48But I'm sure you will do much better next time.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50We look forward to that very much indeed.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53In the meantime, thank you very much indeed, Liam and Amber.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54APPLAUSE
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Right, for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07And so we are down to three pairs and at the end of this round we will
0:20:07 > 0:20:08have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Best of luck, though, to all three pairs.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Our category for Round Two today is...
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Chemical Elements.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17Can you all decide in your pairs
0:20:17 > 0:20:20who's going to go first and who's going to go second.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many chemical elements
0:20:32 > 0:20:36with no consecutive vowels in their names as they could.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Chemical elements with no consecutive vowels.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Richard. - Looking for any chemical element
0:20:42 > 0:20:44on the periodic table as of March 2016, please,
0:20:44 > 0:20:46which has no consecutive vowels in its name.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49So no consecutive vowels at all next to each other anywhere in the name.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Thank you very much indeed. Now then, Maria.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- Hello.- Yes, chemical elements with no consecutive vowels.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Mmm.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02I didn't actually revise any of these chemical elements.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- I can't believe it.- Sorry.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06It's disappointing.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08OK, I'm going to go for boron. Boron?
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- Boron?- Yes. - Boron, says Maria.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Let's see how many of our 100 people said boron.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25There we go, very well done.
0:21:25 > 0:21:289 for boron.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31That's very well played, Maria.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34So tough on that first podium on a round like that.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38In our entire lifetime we ingest about 60g of boron.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41In our entire lifetime.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43In my entire lifetime so far
0:21:43 > 0:21:47I say I tend to bore on for about ten minutes a day.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50I didn't like to say it.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Thank you very much indeed. Now, Rebecca.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54Hello.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- Rebecca.- Yes. - It's a dream round, isn't it?
0:21:57 > 0:21:58It certainly is.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04I've been writing out in the air
0:22:04 > 0:22:07and I am going to go for...
0:22:09 > 0:22:11..hydrogen.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Hydrogen, says Rebecca.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Hydrogen, let's see if it's right,
0:22:15 > 0:22:17let's see how many of our 100 people said hydrogen.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21It's right.
0:22:25 > 0:22:279 is our score at the moment.
0:22:27 > 0:22:3017 is our new score.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31We have a high and a low.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Well done, Rebecca. It's quite nerve-racking, isn't it?
0:22:33 > 0:22:34It's like walking on a tight rope
0:22:34 > 0:22:36trying to work your way through those things.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Yes, 75% of everything in the universe is hydrogen,
0:22:39 > 0:22:43so you are sort of cheating in some ways because it's all around us.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Thank you very much. Martin.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Hello.- Martin, what would you like to go for?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50I'm going to have a go at cobalt.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Cobalt, says Martin.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Let's see how many of our 100 people went for cobalt.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59It's right.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Look at that, 6. Very well done indeed, Martin.
0:23:07 > 0:23:096 for Cobalt.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Everyone's doing very well, aren't they?- Aren't they?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Yeah, it comes from the German for "imp" or "demon", cobalt,
0:23:15 > 0:23:19because its presence made it harder to extract a different element
0:23:19 > 0:23:21whose name I won't mention.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24It could be an answer in this round.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27I get that. I didn't understand the rest, but I get that.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Thanks very much indeed. So we are halfway through the round.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Let's take a quick look at those scores.
0:23:31 > 0:23:346 for Martin, very well done. The best score of the pass.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36And up to 9 where we find Maria and Sarah.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Then up to 17, Rebecca and Lee.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39A little bit far ahead there.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42So, Lee, you know what you have to do.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Good luck with that. We're coming back down the line now.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52So now, Lucie.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Remember it's any chemical element with no consecutive vowels.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Um, I'm going to go for tungsten.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03- Oh, they're really good, aren't they?- Yeah.- This is so impressive.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Tungsten says Lucie.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06There's your red line,
0:24:06 > 0:24:07let's see if you can get below that
0:24:07 > 0:24:09red line and are through to the next round.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Very well done indeed.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Down to 4, our lowest score so far, taking your total up to ten.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26I have a hunch that might be the lowest total of the round.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Yes, it's got the highest melting point of any pure metal
0:24:28 > 0:24:31so they use it to make light bulb filaments.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- That's why.- Yeah.- I see.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Yeah. It's that and because it's got no consecutive vowels as well.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40If you had consecutive vowels in a light bulb it would blow the fuses.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- Yeah.- Because of how electricity works.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46- I can't go into details. - No, I understand that.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Lee.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50That was going to be my answer!
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Sorry.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Um...
0:24:59 > 0:25:01I've got a few going in my head
0:25:01 > 0:25:03but I don't think any of them
0:25:03 > 0:25:05are going to be particularly low-scoring.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Argon.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Argon, says Lee. I like the sound of that.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12No red line for you as you're the high-scorers.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Let's see how many of our 100 people said argon.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20It's right.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Oh, it's good. 9 for argon,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28taking your total up to 26.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Well played, Lee, you've given yourself a chance there.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34They use that in light bulb filaments as well, argon.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Again because of no consecutive vowels, yes.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39There we are, thank you very much.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Now, Sarah.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- Hello.- Sarah, you're on 9, we have high-scorers here.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Lee and Rebecca are on 26.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Your target is 16.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51This is exciting. How are we feeling about this?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Well, actually I haven't ever done chemistry and I tried to learn
0:25:54 > 0:25:56the periodic table.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I'm going to go for antimony.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Antimony. There is your red line,
0:26:00 > 0:26:02let's see what happens when we say antimony.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07It's right.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13Yes, you're through.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Oh, and it's pointless, very well done indeed.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20That adds £250 to today's jackpot, taking it up to £1,250.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24It scores you nothing, leaves your total at 9 and is clever.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26There's a few other pointless answers as well.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Let's take a look at them. Six pointless answers in all.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Starting off with antimony, how about that.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Phosphorus, that's a long word to be going for in this round
0:26:39 > 0:26:42and tantalum, as well. A few one-pointers.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Silicon, bismuth, molybdenum and manganese.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Two points for nickel and radon.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50The biggest scorers that most of our 100 people said.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51Let's take a look.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Silver, 27, that's what cobalt got in the way of extracting.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03There we are, thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04So we are at the end of our second round
0:27:04 > 0:27:06and the pair that we are sending home
0:27:06 > 0:27:10with their not very high score of 26, I'm afraid it's Lee and Rebecca.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12However, we'll see you again next time
0:27:12 > 0:27:15and I'm sure you'll do just as well, if not considerably better.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Thanks very much, meanwhile, Lee and Rebecca.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19APPLAUSE
0:27:21 > 0:27:24But for the remaining two pairs it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Congratulations, Sarah and Maria, Martin and Lucie,
0:27:31 > 0:27:34you are now one step closer to the final and the chance to play for
0:27:34 > 0:27:39our jackpot, which currently stands at £1,250.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41We've reached the head-to-head which means you can now confer
0:27:41 > 0:27:43before you give your answers and the first player
0:27:43 > 0:27:46to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49This is nice, it's a friends and family head-to-head.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Aw!
0:27:51 > 0:27:54All right, enough of that. Let the rivalry commence.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Best of luck to both players, let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Here is your first question
0:28:03 > 0:28:05and it concerns...
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- Richard.- We'll show you five pictures of famous people
0:28:10 > 0:28:12who were born on the islands of the British Isles.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Can you tell us who these people are, please?
0:28:15 > 0:28:18OK, let's reveal our five islanders and here they come.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46There you go.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Five famous islanders from the British Isles.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Now, Sarah and Maria, you have been our low-scorers up to this point
0:28:52 > 0:28:54so you will go first.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10- Yeah, shall we?- Yeah.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12OK, we're going to go for B.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15We think it's Henry Cavill.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19- Henry Cavill.- Yes.- OK, Henry Cavill say Sarah and Maria.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Martin and Lucie, that board is all yours.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Do you want to talk us through it?
0:29:24 > 0:29:27No.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29A, I kind of recognise
0:29:29 > 0:29:34but I've no real idea of name, which doesn't really help, does it?
0:29:34 > 0:29:37E, I think, is Jeremy Irons.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39I think C is Matt Le Tissier.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41OK, you are going to go for C, Matt Le Tissier.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44So we have Henry Cavill, we have Matt Le Tissier.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Sarah and Maria said Henry Cavill for B.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Let's see if that's right and how many people said that.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53It's right.
0:29:58 > 0:30:008. APPLAUSE
0:30:04 > 0:30:08Now, Martin and Lucie have gone for Matt Le Tissier for C.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:30:15 > 0:30:16It's right.
0:30:19 > 0:30:2128 for Matt Le Tissier.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Very well done indeed, Sarah and Maria.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26After one question you are up 1-0.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Yeah, two Channel islanders there, Jersey and Guernsey respectively.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31The other three are all from the Isle of Wight.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33- A is...- Sheila Hancock. - Sheila Hancock.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36She would have scored you 49.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39We'll go to E next, who is Jeremy Irons.
0:30:39 > 0:30:40That is Jeremy Irons.
0:30:40 > 0:30:41He would have scored you 41.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43I bet you know D.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Film director, writer, from the Isle of Wight.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Oh, The English Patient.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- Yes.- Him.- Anthony Minghella.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54It is a pointless answer, so very well done if you said that.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58Isn't it funny that look, the sort of Nehru,
0:30:58 > 0:31:02The kind of that look. I'm assuming that's not him dressed for a part.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Yes, that's kind of an actory look.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09I think it's a uniform of a certain level of performer.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11It's either as a visiting conductor.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13It speaks of confidence.
0:31:13 > 0:31:19It speaks of tremendous confidence in one's position within the arts.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21- Yes.- I think that's right, isn't it?
0:31:21 > 0:31:22Because his name is Jeremy Irons,
0:31:22 > 0:31:25but his full name is Jeremy Irons but not collars.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Yeah. XANDER CHUCKLES
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Yeah, he's not a Jeremy any old Irons, is he?
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- He really isn't.- There we are.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33I think he's selected the right level for himself...
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- I agree with you.- ..in the arts there. He's an exceptional actor.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Thank you very much indeed. Now here comes your second question.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Martin and Lucie, you get to answer this one first,
0:31:41 > 0:31:44but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Our second question is all about...
0:31:46 > 0:31:47Slovenia.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- Richard.- We get asked for this so often.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Five clues to facts about Slovenia,
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- can you give us the most obscure answer?- Thank you very much indeed.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20There we are. Let's read those again.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36There we are. Martin and Lucie will go first.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54We're not really sure about any of these funnily enough.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Slovenia is not on our reading list strangely.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00So we're going to go for the unit of currency since 2007
0:33:00 > 0:33:03and hope that that's the euro.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05The euro say Martin and Lucie.
0:33:05 > 0:33:06The euro.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10OK, now, Sarah and Maria, do you want to talk us through that board?
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- Over to you really.- Oh, OK.
0:33:13 > 0:33:18Um, no idea about the first one, or the second one.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22I think the capital city is Ljubljana.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27The Communist country is probably Yugoslavia.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31I don't know about the mountain range.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33- Ljubljana then?- Yeah.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36We are going to go for the capital city, Ljubljana.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37Ljubljana, you're going to say.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39So we have the euro and Ljubljana.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Martin and Lucie said the euro, the unit of currency,
0:33:41 > 0:33:44let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said euro.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49It is right.
0:33:50 > 0:33:5252.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59Now, Sarah and Maria meanwhile have now gone for Ljubljana.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said that.
0:34:08 > 0:34:09Very well done indeed.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Look at that, Ljubljana taking you right down to 16
0:34:12 > 0:34:15and meaning that, Sarah and Maria,
0:34:15 > 0:34:17well done, you, after only two questions,
0:34:17 > 0:34:19are going straight through to the final 2-0.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Very well played. Very well played.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24The top one, lots of Strictly fans would have got this,
0:34:24 > 0:34:25Aljaz.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Well done if you said it. It would have scored you 9.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31You were right about the Communist country, it was Yugoslavia.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33That would have scored 28.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35And its highest mountain,
0:34:35 > 0:34:37very well done to our 100 because three people said
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Triglav, which means "Three Peaks".
0:34:39 > 0:34:42It's on the Slovenian flag.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46So we are at the end of our head-to-head round.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49I'm afraid the pair we have to say goodbye to is Martin and Lucie.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52It's not a disaster. It means we get to see you again next time.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Otherwise you would have gone through the final
0:34:54 > 0:34:55and that would have been it.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58You would have been back off to Leeds, or Monte Carlo,
0:34:58 > 0:34:59more likely, I don't know.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Anyway, as it is we get to see you next time.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05Look forward to that very much indeed. Thank you very much indeed, Martin and Lucie.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07APPLAUSE
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Right, for Sarah and Maria it is now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Well, congratulations, Sarah and Maria.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20You have seen of all the competition and you have won
0:35:20 > 0:35:22our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34At the end of today's show the jackpot is standing at £1,250.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Well, very, very well done indeed.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40A fantastic performance right across the show.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Really lovely low-scoring in each round,
0:35:43 > 0:35:452-0 in the head-to-head and here you are in the final.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49I think, this bodes very well indeed.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51All we need now from you is a Pointless answer.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Any particular things you'd like to see come up in this round?
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Something to do with art?
0:35:58 > 0:36:00That would be nice, wouldn't it? Something to do with art.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Sarah, anything you would like?
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Citroen 2CVs?
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Do you know what? They've never come up yet.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Let's hope there is something you like there.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Today's selection looks like this.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22What do you reckon?
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Not the bottom one, the great offices of state.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26The Land of Oz, is that Wizard of Oz, do you think?
0:36:26 > 0:36:30Could be. Films about journalism, or Irish pop.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33I don't know anything about Irish pop idols.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- The Land of Oz, then? - Shall we go for that? Why not.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38- The Land of Oz.- OK, Land of Oz.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40- Richard.- Very best of luck.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43We are looking for one of the following three things, please.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45We are looking for any songs on the original cast
0:36:45 > 0:36:48recording of the musical Wicked, the Broadway cast recording.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52We are looking for any of the cast of the 1939 film The Wizard Of Oz
0:36:52 > 0:36:53according to IMDb.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56We are looking for any of the 14 titles of the books
0:36:56 > 0:36:59in the Oz series by L Frank Baum.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01So songs from the original cast recording of Wicked.
0:37:01 > 0:37:031939 film, Wizard Of Oz.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Anyone who was in that, please.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Or any of the 14 titles in the Oz series of books by L Frank Baum.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10- Good luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13You have got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:13 > 0:37:15and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of
0:37:15 > 0:37:18those answers to be Pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Yes.- Good, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:24 > 0:37:25OK.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28I don't know anything from the musical.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29Neither do I.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31It's only Judy Garland that I can remember from
0:37:31 > 0:37:35The Wizard Of Oz, the film.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39The Frank L Baum one.
0:37:39 > 0:37:44I didn't even know they had any names about that, so that's a pass.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47So it's got to be the film people, then.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Um, Judy Garland.- Judy Garland.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Songs from the musical we can just hazard a guess.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57- Next One Up. - We are going to have to.
0:37:57 > 0:38:02- So what do you reckon?- Say Judy Garland as one of our answers?
0:38:02 > 0:38:06Yeah, Judy Garland. Something to do with witches.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Something about I'm Not Different.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- Yeah, that's good. - I'm Not Different.- Yeah.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14- Ten seconds left.- OK.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16The Wicked Witch Of The West.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- OK, shall we go for them? - Yes, go for that.- Yeah.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22OK, it sounds like you've arrived at your three answers.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24Your time is now up, let's have those answers.
0:38:24 > 0:38:30So songs from the musical Wicked, The Wicked Witch Of The West.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32The Wicked Witch Of The West.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- Did you have a song from that? - I'm Not Different.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36I'm Not Different.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39And Judy Garland from the cast.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41And Judy Garland.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Of those three which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:44 > 0:38:46The song, so I would say...
0:38:46 > 0:38:47The Wicked Witch Of The West.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Come on, that sounds like a song from Wicked, doesn't it?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- Surely.- Definitely, yes.- Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:53 > 0:38:54Judy Garland.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57And that means I'm Not Different
0:38:57 > 0:38:59goes into the middle.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Let's put those answers up on the board in that order
0:39:01 > 0:39:03and here they are.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12Well, very best of luck. Three answers on the board.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14At least one of them's right.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Who knows, maybe the other ones will be as well and who knows,
0:39:17 > 0:39:20maybe you will have landed on a Pointless answer,
0:39:20 > 0:39:22which means you will win a jackpot of £1,250.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25If that were to happen, what would you do with it, Sarah?
0:39:25 > 0:39:29I'm going on, funnily enough a Citroen 2CV driving holiday later.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Is that with a club?
0:39:31 > 0:39:33No, it's an organised holiday.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37I used to have a Citroen 2CV and I had to sadly get rid of it,
0:39:37 > 0:39:41so the holiday starts in Monte Carlo and we are driving back up
0:39:41 > 0:39:45- to Portsmouth.- Lovely. Maria, how about you?
0:39:45 > 0:39:47I haven't been on a holiday for a couple of years now
0:39:47 > 0:39:51so I would just like to put that towards a nice holiday,
0:39:51 > 0:39:54somewhere sunny with nice food.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Good stuff. Wouldn't it be lovely if one of these answers won you
0:39:57 > 0:39:59that jackpot? Your first answer was
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Judy Garland and in this case we were
0:40:01 > 0:40:05looking for cast members of the original 1939 film The Wizard Of Oz.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09If it is right, and it is Pointless, it will win you £1,250.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Let's see how many people said Judy Garland.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Well, it's right.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18It just has to go down to zero.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Oh, 71.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25There we go, a popular answer there, Judy Garland,
0:40:25 > 0:40:27which is why you put it first.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30You saved your last two places for these exciting answers.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32I'm Not Different.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35In this case, and in fact the last two cases, we are looking for songs
0:40:35 > 0:40:37from the stage musical, Wicked.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Your first one of those is I'm Not Different.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43Let's see if it's right. If it's Pointless, it will win you £1,250.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Let's see how many people said I'm Not Different.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54Bad luck. I'm afraid not in that musical.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Your last answer is The Wicked Witch Of The West which sounds like
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- a very plausible song surely to have in the musical, Wicked.- Absolutely.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02We'll just have to find out if it's right

0:41:04 > 0:41:06How many people said The Wicked Witch Of The West?
0:41:10 > 0:41:12No, bad luck.

0:41:40 > 0:41:42Let's go through the Pointless answers.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Some people at home will be big fans of the film, or the musical.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Let's take a little look.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49I'm not that different but I'm Not That Girl
0:41:49 > 0:41:51would have been a Pointless answer.

0:42:15 > 0:42:18Pat Walshe, the only other Pointless answer there.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Lots of answers for L Frank Baum.
