0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:21Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where the aim of the game is to score as few points as you can.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30You do that by coming up with the answers no-one else can think of.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Couple number one?
0:00:37 > 0:00:40I'm Tony, this is my stepson, Nicholas.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42We're from Rainworth, in Nottinghamshire.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Couple number two? I'm Mihir, I'm from Milton Keynes.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47This is my friend Ayman, from London.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Couple number three?
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm Sean.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53This is my wife Jane and we are from Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55And, finally, couple number four?
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Sue.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59This is my friend Don and we are from Greetham in Rutland.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01And these are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03APPLAUSE
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Thanks very much, all of you. A very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09We'll get to chat to each of you, of course, throughout the show, as it goes along.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Hounding out ignorance with a pitchfork and a flaming torch,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18a smile and a how-do-you-do, it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Hiya! Hi, everybody.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Afternoon.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- Good afternoon to you.- And to you. - Two returning pairs on this show.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29They had very different shows last time.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Ayman and Mihir got all the way through to the head-to-head.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35They were very good up until that point. They'll be tough to beat.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Don and Sue, who got knocked out in Round One.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Don's come back on with a dog collar, you see.- Yeah.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- It's clever, isn't it?- It's clever.- Don't you think?- Yeah.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47A little bit of divine intervention coming up for this show.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50And two new pairs, welcome to you.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- A nice little jackpot building up, I would say.- It is.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Round One, we're going well classy. - Oh, yeah?
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Yeah, totes classy, Round One. - Excellent.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Well, thank you very much.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Susan and Joanna didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04which means we add another £1,000 to it.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08So, today's jackpot starts off at £4,500.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Look at that!
0:02:11 > 0:02:13If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21I'm sure you know all this but I'm going to remind you anyway.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25The pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26So, make sure you are not that pair.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30No conferring until we get to the head-to-head. Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Our first category today is...
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Shakespeare. Well classy.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Shakespeare. Can you all decide, in your pairs, who's going first,
0:02:38 > 0:02:39who's going second.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48OK. The question concerns...
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Shakespeare plays in haiku.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Excellent. Richard, wow.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57I know, right? Well sophisticated.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00We're going to give you seven clues to Shakespeare plays on each board.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02The clues are written in the form of a haiku,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05a poem with five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08You just need to name the play. Seven on the first board, seven on the second.
0:03:08 > 0:03:1114 in all to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14There we are. Thank you very much. We are looking for the names of these Shakespeare plays,
0:03:14 > 0:03:16as described in these haikus.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Here's our first board of seven. We have...
0:03:45 > 0:03:47I'll read those all one last time.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15There we are.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Seven Shakespeare plays, summed up in haikus.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Tony, welcome. Great to have you here from Nottinghamshire.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- Thank you.- What do you do, Tony?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I'm a warehouse supervisor.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27What's in your warehouse?
0:04:27 > 0:04:32We sell electronic items - aerials, satellite dishes, security equipment.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Right you are. And what do you like getting up to when not supervising the warehouse?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39I'm a member of the UK Pinball League.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44We meet around about once a month and basically play pinballs for a couple of hours.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- On a sort of competitive basis, or is it fairly...?- Yeah.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50It's fairly social? Have you got your own pinball machine?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Not as yet, no.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55OK. But you sure play a mean pinball, I'm guessing?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I try.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Now, Tony, what about these haikus?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Yeah, Shakespeare is not my finest thing.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05But I'm going to plump for the top one -
0:05:05 > 0:05:08the Prince of Denmark seeks revenge on his uncle, who murdered his dad -
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- and go for Hamlet.- Hamlet, says Tony. Let's see if that's right.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Let's see how many of our 100 people said Hamlet.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Not bad, 46.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24APPLAUSE
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- 46 for Hamlet. - Well played.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29There's an early version of that printed, where it's,
0:05:29 > 0:05:31"To be or not to be, ay, there's the point".
0:05:31 > 0:05:34They think that this version was actually written by actors who were
0:05:34 > 0:05:36trying to write it down from memory.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39And they got it wrong. So Shakespeare's version is the real version.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Is the real version?- And better. - And better!- Yeah.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Thanks very much indeed. Ayman, welcome back.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Remind us what you do, Ayman?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49I'm a tax consultant in London.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52And what do you like getting up to when you stop consulting on tax?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55In my spare time I like to swing dance
0:05:55 > 0:05:59and I participate in a lot of football betting.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Just in your own terms? Or are you part of a syndicate?
0:06:02 > 0:06:07No, no, I just take a lot of time to research the football teams
0:06:07 > 0:06:09and place what I hope are winning bets.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11There we go.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13So, now, Ayman, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16I'm not sure,
0:06:16 > 0:06:18but I think I'm going to go with - the Duke Prospero
0:06:18 > 0:06:21with his daughter Miranda, left on an island.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23And say Twelfth Night.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Twelfth Night, says Ayman.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said Twelfth Night.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Bad luck.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Different Duke. I'm afraid that scores you 100 points, sorry.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Sorry, Ayman. I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the pass.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Thanks very much indeed.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Now, Sean, welcome to Pointless. Here from Carrickfergus!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Indeed.- Great to have you. What do you do, Sean?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52I'm a director of a lighting and rigging company.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Theatrical lighting and rigging?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Theatrical, concert, TV, film.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58What's the biggest rig you've been responsible for?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01A particularly big one recently
0:07:01 > 0:07:05was Sports Personality Of The Year in the SSE Arena, in Belfast.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Wow! And do you tour around as well,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10or do you tend to be based in Northern Ireland?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13We do, we certainly put equipment out on tours.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15But I stay at home as much as possible.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18What do you think of our set-up here?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Dazzling! Particularly from this angle.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Yeah, can be. It can be.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Those lights! You know what all these are called, don't you?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- I do, yeah.- There we are.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Sean, what would you like to go for?
0:07:29 > 0:07:34I've got a really risky, a slightly risky and one that I know.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37I think this is the slightly risky one.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41I think that "All the world's a stage" comes from Midsummer Night's Dream.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44A Midsummer Night's Dream, Sean.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52I'm sorry.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Oops. Another incorrect answer.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56But you're in good company. You're not alone up there on 100.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- That's nice.- And worth a risk, as well.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I told you we shouldn't have gone classy. I told you.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Thanks, Richard. Sue, welcome back.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Remind us what you do, Sue.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10I'm a part-time gardener and I work at a school for autistic children.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Very good indeed. So, part-time gardening,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15are you gardening for other people or part-time in your own garden?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Mostly for other people. - Mostly for other people?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Tell me about your school for autistic children.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- What do you do there?- I do the gardening, that's about it.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26They have a big sensory garden for the children.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Oh, lovely.- Which consists mainly of plants that smell nice,
0:08:29 > 0:08:30and feel nice.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- I tend those.- That's nice.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35So lots of different areas, with slightly different themes?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- Yes, that's right.- Lovely, very nice indeed.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Sue, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:08:39 > 0:08:40It's all yours. If you fancied it,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43you could go through it and fill in all our blanks.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I think I'll just go for the one I maybe know.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50That's the moor of Venice, I think is possibly Othello.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Othello, says Sue. Let's see if that's right and let's see how many of our 100 people said Othello.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58It's right.
0:08:58 > 0:09:0146 is our low score and you pass it.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Look at that. 33.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Best score of the round so far, Sue. Very well done indeed.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12Well played, Sue. I bet you know all of these apart from maybe one, knowing you.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- Coriolanus.- The great general?
0:09:14 > 0:09:15- Is the great general.- It is, yes.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18That's the one I thought you weren't going to get, so I'm in trouble now.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- That would have scored you two points.- "All the world's a stage..."
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- is As You Like It.- As You Like It. That would have scored you eight points.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Two star-crossed lovers?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Romeo and Juliet.- Romeo and Juliet.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30That would have scored 73, that's the biggest score.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- The fat knight, Falstaff? - Merry Wives Of Windsor.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Merry Wives of Windsor. You'd better get this wrong.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36The Tempest.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38It is the Tempest. Very well done.
0:09:38 > 0:09:3922 points.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41APPLAUSE
0:09:43 > 0:09:47We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores. 33, Sue - very well done indeed.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Sue and Don, aceing this round at this stage.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Then we go up to 46, where we find Tony and Nick.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57And then 100 is where you will find Sean and Jane and Ayman and Mihir.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59We're going to come back down the line now.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:04 > 0:10:08OK. We're going to put seven more Shakespearean haikus up on the board,
0:10:08 > 0:10:09and here they come.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I'm going to read those one last time.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11There we go. Don, welcome back.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- That's just such a great getup, Don. I love that.- Thank you.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17I love the green. Very nice indeed.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Remind us what you do, Don?
0:11:19 > 0:11:23I'm a part-time vicar and a part-time electrical engineer.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- And sometimes drummer?- Sometimes drummer, yes.- There we are.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Your electrical engineering,
0:11:28 > 0:11:32you do that on an informal call-out basis, or are you part of...
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- I'm self-employed.- Self-employed?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- Freelance.- Freelance.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40That's good. So you can service people and their electrical appliances at
0:11:40 > 0:11:43the same time, which is nice.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46A one-stop shop for all things beneficial.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48And what do you like doing when not drumming?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I can't imagine there's a lot of time left. Not drumming, or...
0:11:51 > 0:11:53I do like long-distance walking.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Lake District and things like that.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I play bowls, ring bells.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Do you? Very good indeed.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Don, there you are, 33, brilliant answer from Sue in the first pass.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06What would you like to go for on this board?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08If you could happen to score 66 or less,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11you are definitely through to the next round.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14It's not my strongest subject, but I think
0:12:14 > 0:12:16the top one's Macbeth.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Macbeth, says Don, for the Scottish play.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Here is your red line. Get below that and you are through to Round Two.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24How many people said Macbeth?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29It's right.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Look at that, through you go, Don.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Very well done. 60, taking your total up to 93.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Well played. The real Macbeth ruled for 17 years.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Just slightly shorter than the play!
0:12:41 > 0:12:42XANDER CHUCKLES
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Thanks very much, Richard.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Jane, welcome to the show.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Good to have you here. What do you do, Jane?
0:12:50 > 0:12:51I've just recently gone back to work.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54I've been a stay-at-home mum for about the past eight years.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58A couple of months ago I got a job in my local service station as a
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- customer advisor.- Nice to be back, nice to be back working?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Love it. I love meeting all the customers, yes.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04That's good. What are your hobbies, Jane?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Massive Eurovision fan.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Are you? Well, being Irish, you've hosted it enough, haven't you?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Yeah, yeah.- My goodness.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Favourite act across the years?
0:13:15 > 0:13:20Bobbysocks. They were about 1986, I think they were,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I think they were from Norway.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24They sang Let It Swing and Let It Rock And Roll.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Bobbysocks. Did they win?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- They won, yeah.- Phew. Oh, phew.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Now, Jane, you are joint highest scorers
0:13:30 > 0:13:33at this stage. We have a contest here.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I know a couple here, but I should know them all.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I'm going to have to go for the bottom one.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40A Midsummer Night's Dream?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43A Midsummer Night's Dream, for the donkey-headed man?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46No red line for you, but you have to go as far down this column as you
0:13:46 > 0:13:49possibly can. Let's see how many people said A Midsummer Night's Dream.
0:13:56 > 0:13:5738.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Not bad. 138 is your total.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05It gives you a big chance. The Beatles once performed the mechanical play
0:14:05 > 0:14:08within a play from A Midsummer Night's Dream on ITV, in 1964
0:14:08 > 0:14:10to an audience of screaming teenage fans.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12XANDER LAUGHS
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- That, I would like to see.- That's one of the weirdest things ever.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Wow. Pyramus and Thisbe?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Yeah, and Ringo.- And Ringo...
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Thanks very much indeed. Now, Mihir, welcome back.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Remind us what it is you do?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28I'm a trainee financial adviser.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32How long before you're a fully fledged financial adviser?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34If all goes to plan, around two or three years.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35- It takes that long?- Yeah.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Wow. I see.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41And when not doing your financial advising, what thrills you, Mihir?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44I consume literally everything there is about football.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49I watch it, I play it - or used to play it - read about it, discuss it.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51I also like writing.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Just writing about current affairs, social trends, stuff like that.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59There we are. Now, there's no getting away from it, Mihir,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01you have to score 37 or less.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04How do you reckon you are on Shakespeare, generally?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I think I know two.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09One is quite risky.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11The other one, I'm pretty confident.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16But I think I may have to risk if I want to get below 38.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21So I'm going to go for a king and three lords, as Twelfth Night.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23OK, Twelfth Night, says Mihir.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Here is your red line.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28If you get below that with Twelfth Night,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30you are through to the next round.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Let's see if it's right. How many of our 100 people said Twelfth Night?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40I'm afraid not, Mihir.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44That scores you 100 points and takes your total up to 200.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47But it's nice to join the 200 club, both with the same answer.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48It just makes...
0:15:48 > 0:15:51it makes the journey home slightly easier, doesn't it?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Nick.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Welcome to Pointless.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Good to have you here. Here with your stepdad.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Whose idea was it to come on?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- It was Tony's.- Tony's. And you were the obvious person for him?
0:16:04 > 0:16:05- Obviously.- The obvious team-mate.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Listen, really good news for you, you are through to the next round.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10It doesn't matter what you score.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- What do you do, Nick?- I'm a night shift manager at a fast food restaurant.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Wow. How popular is the fast food restaurant?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18It's very popular.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22But night-time, slightly quieter than it is during the daytime?
0:16:22 > 0:16:26- Yeah.- Or are they slightly more tricky customers at night-time?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28They can be, but it's usually all right.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- It's nice.- It's OK, nothing too fruity happening?
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Yeah, should be in bed right now.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Very good.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Nick, as I say, it doesn't matter what you score here.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38If you wanted,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41you could go through the board and fill in all our blanks for us.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44The two that I wanted have already gone. I have no idea.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Well, it's a funny one, probably not right -
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Roman leader gets stabbed in the back by friends -
0:16:50 > 0:16:53who needs friends like that? Gladiator?
0:16:55 > 0:16:56OK. Gladiator.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58No red line for you.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00You are already through.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Let's see what happens when we say Gladiator.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04LAUGHTER
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Bad luck. Incorrect, there.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11It scores you 100 points and takes your total up to 146.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13But you're through anyway. 146 isn't bad.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Yeah, sorry, have you seen that new sitcom where David Mitchell plays Shakespeare?
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Russell Upstart Crow?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20XANDER CHUCKLES
0:17:20 > 0:17:22That's a Gladiator joke.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I've only had a second to think of it!
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Now, Mihir, what was the risky one,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28what was the other one you were going to go for, the safer one?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30The Roman leader, Julius Caesar.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Julius Caesar is right.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34It would have scored you 37 points.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37AUDIENCE GROANS
0:17:37 > 0:17:41So sorry. The king and three lords who swear to avoid women?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- Love's Labour's Lost. - It is Love's Labour's Lost.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- Very well done.- It would have scored you two points.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- The elderly king?- King Lear. - King Lear.
0:17:48 > 0:17:5025 points. The high school comedy?
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Taming Of The Shrew. - Based on Taming Of The Shrew.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- Would have scored nine. - And the merry war?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- Much Ado About Nothing. - Much Ado About Nothing.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Would have scored you six points.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01So, Love's Labour's Lost is the best answer there.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- Well done if you said that. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06At the end of our first round, the pair who are heading home with their
0:18:06 > 0:18:09high score of 200, Mihir and Ayman, I'm so sorry.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Last time you were in our head-to-head and I thought you were absolutely
0:18:12 > 0:18:15set for the final this time. I'm afraid it wasn't to be.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18It's been great having you on both shows. Thank you so much for playing. Mihir and Ayman.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26But, for the remaining three pairs, it is now time for Round Two.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33There we are, down to three pairs.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36At the end of this round, obviously we will be down to two pairs.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Very, very best of luck to all three pairs for Round Two.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Today, our Round Two category is...
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Oscar winners.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Can you all decide who's going first, who's going second?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56OK, the question concerns...
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Richard?- We're going to show you 16 pictures now of actors
0:19:04 > 0:19:07who've won either the Best Actor or Best Actress at the Oscars.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10You just need to tell us who they are, please.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Thank you very much indeed. We're going to show this image.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16It won't change halfway through the round, this will stay up for the entire round.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19You just have to name anyone who appears on this image.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21So, let's reveal the image, and here it is.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27There we are.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Nick?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Um...
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I'm going to go with...
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Dustin Hoffman. - Dustin Hoffman, says Nick.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Let's see how many of our 100 people said Dustin Hoffman?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Is right.
0:19:54 > 0:19:5647, not bad.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01He won best actor twice for Kramer vs Kramer and Rain Man.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04He used to share a flat with Gene Hackman.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06That's quite cool, before they were famous.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- Hoffman and Hackman. - Hoffman and Hackman!
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- What about that?- Yeah. Ring top bell.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Thanks very much indeed.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Jane, who would you like to go for?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I know quite a few.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20I'm trying to think which would be the least.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22It's a bit risky.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24I'm going to go for Sissy Spacek.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Sissy Spacek, says Jane.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Let's see how many of our 100 people said Sissy Spacek.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33It's right.
0:20:33 > 0:20:3647 was our only score at this point and you fly past that.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Sissy Spacek scores you eight.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40There we go, Jane. Well done.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Great answer, Jane. Well played.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Sissy Spacek. Won for Coal Miner's Daughter.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Thanks very much, Richard.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Don?
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Yes, third row down,
0:20:55 > 0:20:59I think, second in, is Meryl Streep.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Meryl Streep, says Don.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Let's see how many of our 100 people said Meryl Streep.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09It's right. 47 is our highest score.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Eight our low.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12We passed 47.
0:21:12 > 0:21:1340 for Meryl Streep.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19The most nominated actress in Oscars history and won two Best Actress
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Oscars for Sophie's Choice and for The Iron Lady.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Thanks very much. Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Let's look at those scores. Eight, the best score of the pass.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Jane, very well done indeed.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Jane and Sean, absolutely on top of this round.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Then up to 40s where we find Don and Sue.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36And then just up a little to 47 is where we find Nick and Tony.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Tony, you're not too far ahead, but you are ahead.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41So we need a nice score from you. Good luck with that.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43We're going to come back down the line now.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51OK. Sue, what would you like to go for?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Top row,
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Humphrey Bogart.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Humphrey Bogart, says Sue.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Ideally, you'd score six or less with that,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03but there is your red line.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Getting anywhere near that, you should be in with a shout, anyway.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Let's see how many of our 100 people said Humphrey Bogart.
0:22:16 > 0:22:2146 for Humphrey Bogart, taking your total up to 86.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Won an Oscar in 1951 for The African Queen.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26He was also named American Film Institute
0:22:26 > 0:22:28greatest male star of all time.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Though in 1949, he also won an award for least cooperative actor.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Sean, what would you like to go for?
0:22:37 > 0:22:40If you can score 77 or less, you are through.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43I'm going to go for one which is fairly obvious,
0:22:43 > 0:22:45but hopefully will get me there.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- I'm going to go for Halle Berry. - Halle Berry, says Sean.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Here is your red line.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Get below that with Halle Berry and you're into the head-to-head.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54How many of our 100 people said Halle Berry?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59It's right and you are through to the head-to-head.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Very well done, Sean. Down it goes.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Not bad, 38.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- 46 is your total. - Well played, Sean.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Won in 2001 for Monster's Ball.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Thank you, Richard.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16Now then, Tony, we need a score of 38 or less from you.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20I know a fair few of them.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23But one that's going to be below 38...
0:23:23 > 0:23:24Er...
0:23:24 > 0:23:27I think that...
0:23:27 > 0:23:29I think that's OJ Simpson on the bottom.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33OK, OJ Simpson, says Tony.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34No, it's not.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Here is your red line.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Let's see what happens when we say OJ Simpson.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50I'm afraid no. An incorrect answer scores you 100 points.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Takes your total up to 147.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- Sorry, Tony.- He has never won an Oscar.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57A lot of people say he's an incredible actor.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58LAUGHTER
0:23:58 > 0:24:01But absolutely my favourite actor of all time there on the bottom row,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Denzel Washington. Would have scored you 13 points.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Won for Training Day.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07- Now, top left?- Emma Thompson.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Emma Thompson would have scored you 27. Next to Humphrey Bogart?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Maggie Smith.- Maggie Smith would have scored you 32.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Now, on that second row, recognise the black and white one?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- It's Alec Guinness.- I'm seeing a little bit of Alec, yeah.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Would have scored you 23 points.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Next to him, the 2015 winner?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- Leonardo DiCaprio. - Leonardo DiCaprio.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Would have scored you 46.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- Next to Leo?- Is that Audrey Hepburn?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- It is Audrey Hepburn. - Would have scored you 31 points.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Now, another 2015 winner, would have scored you one point, the third row.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Won for Room, Brie Larson.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Would have scored you one point.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- Next to Meryl Streep? - Is Robert De Niro.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Robert De Niro would have scored you 28.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Now, a pointless answer.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Do your remember what he won for?
0:24:49 > 0:24:52That's the French actor who won for The Artist.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- Jean...- Dujardin!
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Very well done if you said that, a pointless answer.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Terrific stuff. Then Greer Garson, well done if you said Greer Garson.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04One point. And Tom Hanks, a big scorer, 57.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Excellent. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09At the end of the second round, the pair that we have to say goodbye to
0:25:09 > 0:25:12with their high score of 147, Tony and Nick.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14I'm afraid it is you, but we will see you again next time and I'm sure
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- we'll go much further. Meantime, thanks very much, Tony and Nick. - Thank you.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Congratulations, Don and Sue, Sean and Jane.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our
0:25:34 > 0:25:36jackpot, which currently stands at
0:25:36 > 0:25:38£4,500.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Well, we've reached the head-to-head,
0:25:42 > 0:25:46which means from now on you are allowed to confer before you give your answers, which is nice.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51so best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Here's your first question.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02And it concerns...
0:26:03 > 0:26:05LAUGHTER
0:26:05 > 0:26:10- Richard?- Yeah, we're going to give you five clues, now, to facts about the county of Suffolk.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12That's nice. There we are.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15The county of Suffolk. So, let's reveal our five facts.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Let's not hold back. Here they come.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19We have got...
0:26:42 > 0:26:44I shall read those all one last time.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11There we are. Don and Sue will go first.
0:27:14 > 0:27:19We'll go for the football question.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21We think it's Ipswich.
0:27:21 > 0:27:26Ipswich Town, say Don and Sue. Ipswich. Now, Sean and Jane,
0:27:26 > 0:27:29do you fancy talking us through the rest of that board?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31We're just thankful that they went for that,
0:27:31 > 0:27:34because they didn't take the only one that we think we know.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Which is the Animal Farm author, which was George Orwell.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41So you're going to go for the River Orwell?
0:27:41 > 0:27:44So, we have Ipswich Town and George Orwell.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Ipswich town, let's see. Is that right? How many people said Ipswich Town?
0:27:50 > 0:27:51Is right.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Come on, come on.
0:27:55 > 0:27:5735.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04The Animal Farm author, George Orwell, says Sean and Jane.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said George Orwell.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12It's right.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Not bad at all.
0:28:16 > 0:28:1748 for Orwell.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22That means Don and Sue, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Yeah, Ipswich Town, 35, George Orwell, 48.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Sounds like the weirdest football result of all time.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30The Anglo-Saxon ship burial site?
0:28:30 > 0:28:32- Sutton Hoo.- Really worth visiting, as well.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34It's a fascinating place. 19 points for that.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36The Dodie Smith novel?
0:28:36 > 0:28:38I Capture The Castle.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Oh, I'm glad I didn't say what I nearly said.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43- Would have scored six points. I know what you were going to say.- Yeah.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44And the artist is?
0:28:44 > 0:28:46- Constable.- John Constable.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48That would have scored 25.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51The best answer on the board is I Capture The Castle.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Thank you very much indeed. So, here is your second question.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Sean and Jane, you get to answer it first,
0:28:56 > 0:28:59but you have to win this one to stay in the game. Very best of luck.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01A little bit of pressure on you there.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Our second round question is all about...
0:29:05 > 0:29:09- Colourful creatures, Richard?- We are going to show you five pictures now of colourful creatures.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Can you tell us what they are, please?
0:29:11 > 0:29:14OK, let's reveal our five colourful creatures. Here they come.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48There we are.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Sean and Jane, you will go first.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51The blue poison dart frog?
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Yeah, OK.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Or clownfish?
0:29:55 > 0:29:58OK, we are going to go for E
0:29:58 > 0:30:01and say blue poison dart frog.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05Blue poison dart frog, say Sean and Jane.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09Now then, Don and Sue, do you fancy talking us through the others?
0:30:10 > 0:30:16The first one is a...clownfish.
0:30:16 > 0:30:17Second one's a peacock.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22D, we'll go for, is mandrill.
0:30:22 > 0:30:27OK, mandrill. So, we have blue poison dart frog and mandrill.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Sean and Jane, blue poison dart frog.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31How many of our 100 people went for that?
0:30:39 > 0:30:41That's a good answer. Look at that, ten.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Very well done indeed. Ten for blue poison dart frog.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Don and Sue, meanwhile, have gone for mandrill, for D.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Let's see if that's right,
0:30:52 > 0:30:54let's see how many of our 100 people said mandrill.
0:31:01 > 0:31:0341.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Well done, Sean and Jane. That's exactly what we needed from you.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10You're back in the game. After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Very nicely done. One of those ones where you can work it out by the
0:31:13 > 0:31:15letters, that's the only thing it can be.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17There's lots of different poison dart frogs,
0:31:17 > 0:31:19different colours, depending on their habitat.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21You've got to wonder where the blue one lives.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23- In the sky?- No, because they're not cam...
0:31:23 > 0:31:25It's the exact opposite of camouflage.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28They make themselves stand out, in order to be terrifying.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- Oh, I see.- Do you see?- Clever.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33A is, of course, the clownfish.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34That would have scored you 49.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36B, what do you think B would have scored?
0:31:36 > 0:31:38It is a peacock.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40You've got to imagine it would be in the 90s?
0:31:40 > 0:31:4296?
0:31:42 > 0:31:4396 is exactly right.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Very well done.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48There are four people going, no...
0:31:48 > 0:31:51I've seen one, I know I've seen one.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Some sort of horse, I know that.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56A shire horse?
0:31:56 > 0:31:58The best answer is C.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00It's lilac-breasted, that we know.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02It's a lilac-breasted roller.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04It would've scored you three points.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Thank you very much indeed. It all comes down to a third question.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09This is our decider.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Whoever wins this one goes through to the final and plays for that
0:32:11 > 0:32:14colossal jackpot. Very best of luck to both pairs.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Our third question today is all about...
0:32:20 > 0:32:23- Richard?- We are now going to show you five anagrams
0:32:23 > 0:32:26of different types of tea. Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Very best of luck, both teams.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31OK, let's reveal our five anagrams, and here they come.
0:32:31 > 0:32:32We've got...
0:32:39 > 0:32:41I shall read those all one last time.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Don and Sue will go first.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- DON:- Anything?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59The last one is green.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03It's the only one I know.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05The last one is the only one we can recognise immediately.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- It's green.- OK, you're going to go for green?
0:33:08 > 0:33:12Now then, Sean and Jane, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:33:12 > 0:33:15We think we know a few of them.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17We think the top one's English Breakfast.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20The second is redbush.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22The fourth one down is Darjeeling.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24- Redbush?- Redbush.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26OK, redbush.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29We have green and we have redbush.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Don and Sue said green. Let's see how many of our 100 people got that from genre.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37It's right.
0:33:39 > 0:33:4061 for green.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Sean and Jane, meanwhile, have gone for redbush.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Let's see if that's right from brushed. Let's see how many people got it.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53It's right.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56And it wins you the point, very well done indeed.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Look at that. Down it goes to 24.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01But, most importantly of all, it wins you that point.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04And, Sean and Jane, sees you through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08Yeah, it's great work and you took us through the rest of the board very nicely,
0:34:08 > 0:34:11apart from the one that was almost literally impossible, which we will get to.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15English Breakfast up the top there, quite a low scorer.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17That would have scored you 13 points.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20An elder jig is Darjeeling.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23That would have scored you 20.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27Now, if you haven't heard of this tea, very good luck getting the anagram.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30It is...Russian Caravan.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34That was a pointless answer, unsurprisingly.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36It sounds delicious, doesn't it?
0:34:36 > 0:34:37Mm-mm...
0:34:37 > 0:34:40It has the aroma of the inside of a Russian caravan.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42That's where it comes from.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46Imagine getting stuck behind a Russian caravan, their roads are so long.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50- Imagine being in Moscow and having to go to Vladivostok and getting stuck behind a caravan.- Oh!
0:34:50 > 0:34:54And all you've got is the smell of slightly off tea
0:34:54 > 0:34:56just wafting towards you.
0:34:58 > 0:34:59Thank you very much indeed.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid, Don and Sue, it is you.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06You've triumphed across this show. It's been absolutely wonderful to watch.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08It was Round One we had to say goodbye last time.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11This time, we've had the pleasure of your company up to the head-to-head.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15I thought it might have gone one step further. I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Thank you so much for playing, Don and Sue.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23But for Sean and Jane, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28Well, congratulations, Sean and Jane,
0:35:28 > 0:35:33you have seen off all the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £4,500.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52Well, what about that? Fantastic performance in the head-to-head.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54I wonder, Sean, when you gave your first answer on the show,
0:35:54 > 0:35:57A Midsummer Night's Dream, scoring 100 points,
0:35:57 > 0:36:00did you foresee that you'd be standing here?
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- I kind of knew Jane was going to save me.- Oh, really?- Yeah.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08Listen, one pointless answer away from winning a really nice jackpot.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12As you know, you have to choose a category from four that will appear on the board behind me.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14They're not always very appealing when you first see them.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17But there's usually something in there you can have a good go at.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Let's hope there's something on the board you like the look of today.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Today's selection is this...
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Definitely not the last two.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39US crime writers or modern female singers?
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- Modern female... Modern female singers?- Yeah.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46We're going to go for modern female singers.
0:36:46 > 0:36:47Modern female singers it is.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51Very best of luck. We're looking for any UK Top 40 singles,
0:36:51 > 0:36:54according to the officialcharts.com company,
0:36:54 > 0:36:57up to May 2016 by any of the following three, please.
0:36:57 > 0:36:58Any UK Top 40 single by...
0:37:05 > 0:37:09UK Top 40 singles by any of those three up to the end of May 2016.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11- Best of luck.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:37:14 > 0:37:17and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers to
0:37:17 > 0:37:19be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- Yeah.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28OK, I only know The Climb and Wrecking Ball for Miley Cyrus.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- And they're both really well known. - I'm wondering whether...
0:37:31 > 0:37:35Do you remember the awful Pablow The Blowfish that she wrote for her pet
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- blowfish that died? - Was this Miley Cyrus?- Yeah.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- I don't know if was a single. - It wouldn't have been in the Top 40, would it?
0:37:42 > 0:37:46- Do you know any Iggy Azalea?- It went big on YouTube because people wanted to laugh at it.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- Do you know any Iggy Azalea? - No.- I don't, either.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50And Rita Ora? What did she sing?
0:37:52 > 0:37:54I've gone completely blank.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57We're going to have to go for The Climb...
0:37:57 > 0:38:01Think Miley Cyrus, when she was Hannah Montana?
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Yeah.- Before she went...
0:38:03 > 0:38:05What was that one?
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Blurred Lines? Did she sing that one?
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- Or was that just for an award ceremony?- That was the awards thing, I think.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- The Climb...- I think it was a Hannah Montana one?
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Ten seconds left.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16Oh...
0:38:19 > 0:38:20What was it called?
0:38:20 > 0:38:22I don't know. I don't know.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25We're going to have to say that blowfish thing.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27OK, I'm afraid that is your minute up, I'm sorry to say.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Let's have your three answers.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31If you could say which category you're answering in.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33We are going to pick Miley Cyrus for all three,
0:38:33 > 0:38:36because we've blanked on the other two.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- We're going to say Wrecking Ball. - Wrecking Ball.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41- The Climb.- The Climb.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43And we're going to take a punt on Pablow The Blowfish.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Pablow the Blowfish?
0:38:45 > 0:38:49Of those three, I know which one I think is the best,
0:38:49 > 0:38:52but which gives you your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:52 > 0:38:54I think Pablow.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- Pablow goes last.- The least would be Wrecking Ball.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Wrecking Ball. And The Climb in the middle.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Here they are.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07We've got Wrecking Ball, we've got The Climb and we've got
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Pablow The Blowfish.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Well, very, very best of luck.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Three wonderful answers on the board, there.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16What if one of those turns out to be pointless and wins you the jackpot?
0:39:16 > 0:39:194,500 quid, not a bad thing to be taking home.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Sean, what would you like to do with that?
0:39:21 > 0:39:24I'm a bit motorcycle mad, so I'd
0:39:24 > 0:39:27like to be looking at a new motocross bike.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Very good. Jane, how about you?
0:39:29 > 0:39:32I just want to take the children to Harry Potter Studios.
0:39:32 > 0:39:37Lovely. OK. Very best of luck. As I say, three good answers there.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39You never know, one of them might turn out to be pointless.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Our first answer today is Wrecking Ball.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44In this case, in fact, in all three cases,
0:39:44 > 0:39:47we are looking for Miley Cyrus UK Top 40 singles.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50If this is right and if it's pointless, it will win you £4,500.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52How many people said Wrecking Ball?
0:39:56 > 0:39:58It's right.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02It just has to go down to zero now for you to leave with that jackpot of £4,500.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Wrecking Ball takes us down through the 30s.
0:40:04 > 0:40:0636. There we are.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09You knew that was going to be a big scorer.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13But we move onto slightly less certain territory
0:40:13 > 0:40:16with your next answer, The Climb.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20Again, a Miley Cyrus UK Top 40 single is what we were looking for.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23You've gone for The Climb. If it's pointless, it wins you £4,500.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Let's see how money people said it. The Climb.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32It's also correct. Wrecking Ball took us down to 36.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36The Climb takes us through the 40s, through the 30s, passes 36,
0:40:36 > 0:40:38down through the 20s. Into the teens.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Into single figures, down it goes.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42The Climb!
0:40:42 > 0:40:43That's exciting.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Two people mentioned The Climb.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53So, not a pointless answer.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Which means we move onto your third and final answer, my favourite answer,
0:40:56 > 0:40:57Pablow The Blowfish.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59This could go one of two ways, I suspect.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03If it goes the way we would like it to go, though,
0:41:03 > 0:41:07it has every chance of going right down to the bottom of the column.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Let's find out. We are looking for Miley Cyrus, UK Top 40 singles.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14If this goes down to zero, it will win you £4,500.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18How many people said Pablow The Blowfish, is it pointless?
0:41:22 > 0:41:23Oh, no!
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Bad luck. That was the other way it could go, I'm afraid.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31And it did.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Listen, one very good answer in there,
0:41:33 > 0:41:37The Climb took us within touching distance of a pointless answer.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43So, you don't win today's jackpot of £4,500.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45That will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:45 > 0:41:46But you've been fantastic,
0:41:46 > 0:41:49just one appearance on the show and straight through to the final.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51A lot to be proud of, there.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54In recognition of that, you get a Pointless trophy to take home.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Very well done indeed. Sean and Jane. Fantastic.
0:41:57 > 0:41:58APPLAUSE
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Yeah, a valiant effort there.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05I bet you didn't think when you were coming on the show you would choose
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Miley Cyrus singles as your chosen category.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Terrific performance. Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the
0:42:10 > 0:42:13different categories. We will start with Rita Ora.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Black Widow, a hit with Iggy Azalea,
0:42:15 > 0:42:18although Iggy Azalea would have scored you one point for that.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21It wasn't pointless for her. Doing It, with Charli XCX.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24I Will Never Let You Down was a number one single.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Shine Ya Light. Also could have had Coming Home, Lay Down Your Weapons,
0:42:26 > 0:42:28New York Raining and Radioactive.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31All of those were pointless answers for Rita Ora.
