0:00:14 > 0:00:16APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30APPLAUSE
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And, couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hello, my name's Megan, this is my dad, David,
0:00:38 > 0:00:39and we're from Nottingham.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43- Couple number two.- My name is Aladin, this is my friend, Cathie,
0:00:43 > 0:00:44and we are from Glasgow.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Couple number three.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Hi, my name's Amanda and this is my eldest daughter, Matilda,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51and we are from Lewisham in south-east London.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And finally, couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Lewis and this is my girlfriend, Laura.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- We're from London.- And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04A very warm welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you here.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show,
0:01:06 > 0:01:07as it goes along.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14If you go down to Borehamwood today, you are sure of a big surprise.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- Hiya. Hey, everybody. - APPLAUSE
0:01:21 > 0:01:24We should explain that Borehamwood is where we film.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- Actually, no, let's not. - Otherwise...
0:01:26 > 0:01:27- Oh, yeah!- Keep people guessing.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- Elstree Studios, but it's in Borehamwood.- Yeah, I know.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33If ever I say Elstree, people from Borehamwood get very upset
0:01:33 > 0:01:35because it's in Borehamwood, even though it's called Elstree.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Two returning pairs from the last show -
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- and they got knocked out in rounds one and two...- I know.- ..last time.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42That's Aladin and Cathie, welcome back,
0:01:42 > 0:01:43and Amanda and Matilda, as well.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Two new pairs, as well.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47So, no-one here has ever been in a head-to-head -
0:01:47 > 0:01:49and a good show to be in a head-to-head in, I think,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51because quite a big jackpot building up.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52The jackpot's enormous.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Well, it's not enormous. - Well, it's pretty big.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57I would say it's Elstree sized, not Borehamwood sized.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Listen, great Borehamwoods from tiny Elstrees do grow.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06- Is all I am saying.- Very good.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10There we are. As you will have gathered from all of this preamble,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Raphael and Jack didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15which means we add another £1,000 to it,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18so today's jackpot starts off at £6,500.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19APPLAUSE
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Remember this, if nothing else -
0:02:32 > 0:02:34the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:34 > 0:02:35will be eliminated,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38so just do everything you can to keep your scores nice and low
0:02:38 > 0:02:41and you should be fine. Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Band Members. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:02:48 > 0:02:51who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00OK. So, the question concerns...
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Family Bands.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07We are about to show you the names of 16 bands
0:03:07 > 0:03:08that are made up of family members -
0:03:08 > 0:03:11brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, all that sort of thing.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13We're just looking for the first names of anyone
0:03:13 > 0:03:15who was in any of these bands, please.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18So, first names of anyone who was in any of the bands
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- you are about to see. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24So, we are going to put up a board with the names of various bands on -
0:03:24 > 0:03:26just shout out a first name.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28If it sticks, it's good.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Best of luck. Here is our board of band names.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32We've got...
0:03:46 > 0:03:47I'm going to read those all again.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03There we are. Megan... SHE SIGHS
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- ..welcome to Pointless, from Nottingham.- Thank you!
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Let's just ignore those bands for a second or two.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10What do you do, Megan?
0:04:10 > 0:04:17I work as a project co-ordinator for a home share project in Nottingham.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18You're putting together people
0:04:18 > 0:04:20who will go off and live in peace and harmony?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- That's right, yeah. - Do you get it right every time?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25We haven't actually started matching people at the moment,
0:04:25 > 0:04:27we are still in the early stages.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29It's just a new position, a new project that we're doing.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31I see. And what do you do for fun?
0:04:31 > 0:04:32What are your hobbies, Megan?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34I like travelling.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Just got back from holiday in Italy...
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Very nice. - ..and I enjoy going to pub quizzes,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42cooking for friends, that kind of thing.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Did you say pop quizzes or...? - No, sorry. Pub quizzes.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- Right.- No.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Mm, yeah - because... Mm.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50There's that.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57I'm going to have to go with a really obvious one and say Andrea.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Andrea.- Yeah.- Andrea, says Megan.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Andrea.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05It's right.
0:05:11 > 0:05:1316 for Andrea. APPLAUSE
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Could be a lot worse, Megan.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Not a bad start to the show at all, 16.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Yeah, good start, Megan. Lead singer of The Corrs, of course.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22They first performed as a band when they auditioned for The Commitments,
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- to be in that film. - That I didn't know.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Andrea is in the film, in a speaking role.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Ah!- Yeah.- There we are. Thank you very much.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Now then, Cathie.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Welcome back to Pointless.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Remind us what you do, Cathie.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- I'm a trainer.- You're a trainer?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Yes, I train people in management
0:05:38 > 0:05:40and leadership and health and safety.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42You missed out management and leadership last time,
0:05:42 > 0:05:44you just said health and safety. SHE LAUGHS
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Management and leadership, now...
0:05:46 > 0:05:47I'm not saying health and safety isn't fun,
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- but management and leadership sounds more fun.- It's fantastic.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52What's the one key to good leadership?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55One key to good leadership is to make new leaders.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Yeah? So, watch out, mate.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03That's quite worrying.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Cathie, what about these bands,
0:06:05 > 0:06:07these band members and their first names?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10OK...
0:06:10 > 0:06:16I perhaps know a few, but I'm going to go for Maurice.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Maurice. OK. Maurice.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Nicely done, Cathie.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I think I know what you are going for.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Let's see how many of our 100 people agree with Maurice as a first name.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31It's right. Well, our only score at this point is 16.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34We will see only too soon where Maurice takes you.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- 32.- Yes. All right. - APPLAUSE
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Not bad. Still not bad.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Yeah, Maurice Gibb from the Bee Gees, Cathie, well done.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- Married Lulu.- Yeah.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Yeah. Did you go?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I'm far too young for that!
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Yeah, I wasn't invited, either.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Thank you very much. Now, Matilda, we turn to you.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Welcome back to Pointless.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Remind us what position you are now in, Matilda.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Well, I've just finished university.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- I have my graduation coming up. - Which is lovely.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Where were you at university?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Sheffield. - Did you have a lovely time?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Loved it. It was great.- Aww.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- Have you left a little bit of your heart in Sheffield?- Yeah.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- And suddenly, your life stretches before you.- Yeah.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12You've got a nice job, though, over the summer?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Yeah, taking English language students out round about London.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18See - how many places had you actually visited before, yourself,
0:07:18 > 0:07:20of the places you are taking them around?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Embarrassingly few, seeing as I've lived in London my whole life.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Exactly. That's my point. We never go.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26We never go to any of those places.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Have you learnt lots of exciting things you didn't know before?
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Yes, lots of random facts about London.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Brilliant. Really exciting.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Now, Matilda, we turn our attention
0:07:34 > 0:07:37to the first names of these band members.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Yeah, this isn't too bad.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I'm really happy the Kings Of Leon are there,
0:07:40 > 0:07:42because they are one of my favourite bands.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44I'm fairly sure one of the members is called Caleb.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Caleb, says Matilda.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Yeah.- Let's see where Caleb gets you on the column.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51We have a high score of 32 and a low of 16.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Caleb Followill, absolutely right.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02Look at that - down to 4!
0:08:02 > 0:08:03APPLAUSE
0:08:09 > 0:08:10- 4.- Yeah, Caleb Followill.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Very good answer. Very well played.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- He was actually christened Anthony but...- Why ruin a good name?
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Yeah, go for Caleb.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Caleb sounds a bit more in keeping with the band, as well.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I think so, yeah. OK. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Now, Lewis, welcome to Pointless.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Great to have you here.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28From London. And what do you do, Lewis?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I'm a book cover designer.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32What isn't to love about that?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35What kind of books? What kind of covers?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37I do kind of celebrity nonfiction books,
0:08:37 > 0:08:41and I also do a series of books for Ted talks.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43So, you work for a range of different publishers, do you,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- and they get in touch with you? - I work for one publisher
0:08:46 > 0:08:48in King's Cross.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Are they very demanding, or are you given a pretty free-ranging brief?
0:08:52 > 0:08:56It's quite an open brief, and you get to kind of do what you like.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Yeah, my dad calls it glorified colouring in.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Which is essentially... But in a good way.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03You've got to be very good at colouring in
0:09:03 > 0:09:04to do book design, really.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07How often when you go and show your designs to people
0:09:07 > 0:09:11do they go, "No, no," and storm off out of the King's Cross pub?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- Quite often.- Oh, really?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Yeah.- Oh, that's got to be a little bit dispiriting.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Now, Lewis... Lewis.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22I did know the Kings Of Leon answer.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23I'm struggling with the rest.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28I think I'm going to go with Natalie Appleton.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Natalie, says Lewis.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Natalie. Let's see how many of our 100 people like Natalie.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Well, it's right. 32 remains our high score, 4 is our low.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Well, you've passed the high score.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Ooh, you're well on the way to our low score, there.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48APPLAUSE 8 for Natalie. Well done.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Well played, Lewis.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Natalie Appleton - also in All Saints, of course.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Mm. Yes, indeed. Well, thank you very much.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:58 > 0:10:004 the best score of the pass, Matilda. Very well done indeed.
0:10:00 > 0:10:028 is where we find Lewis and Laura.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04And up to 16, Megan and David.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Then 32 is where Cathie and Aladin currently are.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08So, Aladin, you are not way ahead,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10but we need a nice, low score from you,
0:10:10 > 0:10:12so good luck with that.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14There's something pleasingly mathematical
0:10:14 > 0:10:16about the scores, there.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- Oh, yes! - Look at that. 4, 8, 16, 32.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- Look at that.- How lovely.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- APPLAUSE - Yeah! Let's stop now.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25That's nice.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27OK, we are going to come back down the line now.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36OK. Now, Laura, welcome to Pointless.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Great to have you here, as well, from London.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- What do you do? - I'm a human resources officer.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Right you are. Where do you do that?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48So, I work for a charity in Baker Street.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Very good. How long have you been there?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Just under three years now.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53That's nice. Nice place, nice people?
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- Very.- Lovely. Lovely. And what are your interests, Laura?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Tennis. I'm a big tennis fan.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Play all the time.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Going out, socialising, theatre.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Very good indeed.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Now, Laura, you are on 8.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Our high-scorers, Cathie and Aladin, are on 32.
0:11:12 > 0:11:1423 or less keeps you in the game.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16What would you like to go for?
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Um...
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I'm just going to have a complete guess...
0:11:20 > 0:11:23and say Harry.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24Harry.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Harry. OK. Well, here is your red line.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28It's not a bad name.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32If you get below that with Harry, you are through to Round Two.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Let's see what happens when we say Harry.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41I'm sorry. I'm afraid Harry's an incorrect answer.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Scores you 100 points.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Yeah, sorry, no Harry - not even in Sister Sledge, I'm afraid.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Now, then, Amanda.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- Hello.- Welcome back to Pointless.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Remind us what you do.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59I'm retired. I used to be an intensive care nurse.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01But you are now... You now have all sorts of exciting hobbies.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03You have one which we discussed last time.
0:12:03 > 0:12:09Yeah, I do a lot of mosaic making and I do baking, as well.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Brilliant! Now, Amanda, what would you like to go for?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15You are through to the next round, doesn't matter what you score,
0:12:15 > 0:12:17so the little bit of pressure off there -
0:12:17 > 0:12:22but, let's just say, the stage is set for a dazzling pointless answer.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Well, I think I'm going to show my age a bit now
0:12:25 > 0:12:27and I'm going to say Phil Everly.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Phil Everly, says Amanda.- Yeah.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Phil. So, no red line for you, you're already through,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35but let's see how far down the column we get with Phil.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38It's right.
0:12:43 > 0:12:4628 for Phil, taking your total up to 32.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47APPLAUSE
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Well played. Yeah, Phil Everly,
0:12:50 > 0:12:52which is also another name for stamp collecting.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Thanks very much indeed.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Now, Aladin, you have been handed a wonderful lifeline, there -
0:12:58 > 0:13:01but, Aladin, welcome back to Pointless, lovely to have you here.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Remind us what it is you do.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06I'm a holistic practitioner, author and a charity worker.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07An author?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Tell us what you have written.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11It's an inspirational book I've written
0:13:11 > 0:13:13for raising money for a charity,
0:13:13 > 0:13:17so, to inspire people to be motivated.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21So, that's... The book's about inspiring other people.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Very good indeed -
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- and you are an inspirational speaker...- Yeah.- ..and a holistic...
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Holistic... Not a therapist, but a holistic...?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Well, holistic -
0:13:30 > 0:13:32some people might call it holistic coach or practitioner.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Coach, very good.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38If you allow yourself time off, what do you like to fill that time with?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- I'm actually in a choir... - Excellent.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44..and I'm learning the piano, as well.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Good for you. How long have you been learning?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Only about three months.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- Enjoying it, though? - I'm enjoying it.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- Yes, I'm really enjoying it. - Making progress?
0:13:52 > 0:13:53- That's exciting. - Yes. Yes, baby steps.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Yeah, making progress.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Very good indeed. Now, Aladin, there you are on 32.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58108, the high score.
0:13:58 > 0:14:0175 or less gets you through to the next round.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04I can't remember the names, but I can see the faces in my mind!
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Oh, that's enough, that's fine.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09If you just describe what they look like, we'll...
0:14:09 > 0:14:11THEY LAUGH
0:14:11 > 0:14:13I'm just going to go for something,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16and I'm going with Tina Turner.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- T...Tina.- Tina.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- If we can find a Tina in any of those bands...- Any Tina.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23..we are in luck. There's your red line.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Get below that with Tina and you're through to the next round.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27How many people said it?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I'm so sorry, Aladin.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35No Tina in any of those bands.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37That scores you 100 points,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39takes your total up to an unbeatable 132.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Yeah, no Tina, I'm afraid.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Again, we're doing very nicely on the scores.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Still ending in 8, we've got 32.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47You managed to get 32. You managed to get from four to 32,
0:14:47 > 0:14:49absolutely beautifully done.
0:14:49 > 0:14:5116 or a pointless answer would be lovely.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Wonderful. No pressure, Dave.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Now, David, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59What keeps you busy up in Nottingham?
0:14:59 > 0:15:04Well, I'm retired now, so, I... used to be a civil engineer,
0:15:04 > 0:15:06but now I wile away my time
0:15:06 > 0:15:13sometimes at a local transport and engineering centre.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Yeah - but presumably you travelled a lot as a civil engineer?
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- I always imagine civil engineers... - Yes.- Going off to far-flung places.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Where have you been?
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Iran for 15 months, and Australia,
0:15:24 > 0:15:30and then on short trips to Kentucky, Indonesia...
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- lots of names!- This is all great training for Pointless,
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- which is fantastic. - Yes, that's true.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I've got great news for you, David.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39- Yes.- It doesn't matter what you score.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Even if you score 100, you are still going through to the next round.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45How do you feel about any of these bands?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Not a lot.- OK!
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Because the ones I know are probably pretty high,
0:15:52 > 0:15:56so we'll just take a stab and say Anne.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57- Anne, says David.- Yeah.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03No red line, you're already through. What happens when we say Anne?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- Oh, well.- No Annes in any of those bands, I'm afraid, David.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 116,
0:16:11 > 0:16:13but you are through anyway,
0:16:13 > 0:16:14- so there we are. - Perfectly good guess.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- Sounds like a Beverley Sister, doesn't it?- Yes, it does.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19I'm sure you meant Anita out of The Pointer Sisters, didn't you?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Anita would have been a pointless answer.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Well done if you said that at home.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Loads and loads of different answers here.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26I'll go through a few of them for you.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29White Stripes, Meg would have been the best answer, 5 points.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Lots of Pointer Sisters pointless answers - Bonnie, June.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Ruth would have scored you 2 points.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Art and Cyril and Charles of the Neville Brothers
0:16:36 > 0:16:38would have scored you pointless answers.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Well done if you said any of them.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42The Isley Brothers, Marvin and Ernie and Kelly,
0:16:42 > 0:16:44all pointless answers, and Rudolf.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47You would have got pointless answers for the Braxtons.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51You could have said Traci, Tamar, Towanda or Trina.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Neil Perry - Neil was a pointless answer.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Kathy from Sister Sledge, pointless answer.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Matthew from Kings Of Leon was a pointless answer.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Matthew Followill. The rest of the band were not pointless answers.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02That is all of your pointless answers.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Well, at the end of our first round,
0:17:06 > 0:17:09the pair we have to send home with the high score of 132,
0:17:09 > 0:17:10I'm so sorry, Aladin and Cathie.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Once again, it's a Round One for you.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- It's OK.- I'm sorry. Well, it's been lovely having you here.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17You've come all the way from Glasgow,
0:17:17 > 0:17:18a real treat to have you on the show.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Sorry to be sending you away
0:17:20 > 0:17:22without you having a better crack at our lovely big jackpot today -
0:17:22 > 0:17:24but, as I say, it's been wonderful.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Thank you so much for playing, Aladin and Cathie.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- Thank you.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:17:30 > 0:17:33But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40And, like that, we are down to three pairs.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42At the end of this round, obviously,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44we will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Best of luck to all three pairs for our next round.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Our category for Round Two today is...
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Crossword Clues. Can you decide in your pairs
0:17:54 > 0:17:56who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05OK. And the question concerns...
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Richard.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Yeah, we are going to show you on each board six crossword-style clues
0:18:13 > 0:18:16to adjectives that are derived from animals in some way.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Going to be six on the first board, six on the second -
0:18:18 > 0:18:1912 in all to have a go at at home.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21We will give you the number of letters
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- and the first initials of the answers, as well.- There we go.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Yes, so, we are looking for the animal-related adjectives
0:18:27 > 0:18:32described by these crossword-style clues - and here is our first board.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33It looks like this.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54I will read those all one last time.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Megan, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Um...OK, I've got some of them.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20No doubt the more obvious ones.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24So, I'm going to choose to go with the fifth one,
0:19:24 > 0:19:27and I will say catty.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Catty for deliberately hurtful in one's remarks.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Let's see if catty's right, let's see how many people said catty.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38It's right.
0:19:43 > 0:19:4615 for catty, not bad at all. APPLAUSE
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Yeah, good start.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50I was going to say it's a bit mean to cats,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53but, actually, when you look at the way that cats look at you sometimes
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- if you're leaving the house, going, "Really, those shoes?"- Mm.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- You know?- Thank you.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Amanda, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Um...
0:20:03 > 0:20:04I think I've got some of them,
0:20:04 > 0:20:06and I think I'll go for the top one,
0:20:06 > 0:20:10- eagle-eyed.- Eagle-eyed, says Amanda for the top one.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said eagle-eyed.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19It is right. Well, 15 is our only score on the board so far.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Eagle-eyed goes down to 35.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24APPLAUSE
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Eagles can dive at 150mph
0:20:28 > 0:20:29to attack their prey.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Goodness me.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- HE WHISTLES - That's terrifying.- It's terrifying.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35There we go, thank you very much indeed.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Now, Lewis, you're the last person to have this board.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40If you want to go through all those answers and fill them in,
0:20:40 > 0:20:41you'd be very welcome.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43I think I'm going to struggle
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- giving you more than one answer, I'm afraid!- OK!
0:20:45 > 0:20:50I'm going to have to go for number four,
0:20:50 > 0:20:51and go for foxy.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52OK, foxy.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Cunning or sly, sexually attractive.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Let's see if that's right,
0:20:55 > 0:20:58let's see how many of our 100 people said foxy.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04It's right. 35's our highest score, until now.
0:21:04 > 0:21:0560 for foxy.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06APPLAUSE
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Very well played. Shall we fill in the rest of this board?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12How are you feeling on this?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- I think we're OK...- The best answer, Readily expressing...
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- I'd go waspish on that.- Yeah. Readily expressing irritation.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- 1 point for that.- Ooh! Not bad.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Cowardly?- Chicken.- Chicken.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- And...- That would have scored you 7. Shy, timid, or quiet.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- Mousy.- Mousy.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30That would have scored you 20.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33There we go. Thank you very much. We're halfway through our round,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36so let's take a quick look at those scores. 15, Megan and David.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Lovely. Nice, low scoring there.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Should see you through to the head-to-head.
0:21:40 > 0:21:4335 is where we find Matilda and Amanda,
0:21:43 > 0:21:44and then 60, Lewis and Laura.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Leaves you with a bit of a mountain to climb,
0:21:46 > 0:21:48but Laura, you will have the new board,
0:21:48 > 0:21:51so make sure you find a nice low-scoring answer on that board.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Good luck with that. OK, we'll come back down the line now,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01OK, let's put six more animal clues up on the board -
0:22:01 > 0:22:03and here they come.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22I'll read those again.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Laura.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42I can't really think! Um...
0:22:44 > 0:22:48I'm going to say slow to make progress, as a complete guess,
0:22:48 > 0:22:50and say sluggish.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Sluggish says Laura.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Sluggish. No red line for you, as you're the high-scorers,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58but let's see how many of our 100 people went for sluggish.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Absolutely right, Laura.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Ooh, Look at that.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Down it goes to 5,
0:23:09 > 0:23:10our lowest score of the round so far.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12APPLAUSE Very well done indeed. 65.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14You might well have done enough
0:23:14 > 0:23:15to keep yourselves in the game, there.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Very well done.- That's a terrific answer, very well played.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21OK, now then, Matilda.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24There you are, you're on 35, the high scorer's on 65,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26so 29 or less keeps you in the game.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27OK.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32The only one I can get at all is agitated, impatient or restless,
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- and it's antsy.- Antsy says Matilda.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Here is your red line.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39If you can get below this red line with antsy,
0:23:39 > 0:23:41you are through to the next round.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46It is right.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Very well done, through you go.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Ooh, it's a lovely low score of 4! APPLAUSE
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Very good indeed -
0:23:55 > 0:23:57taking your total up to 39.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Yeah, well played, antsy. It's the opposite of "decsy".
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Now, then, David.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12There you are, 15, lovely low score from Megan in the first pass.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15It means you only have to score 49 or less.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Do you want to talk us through the board and fill in all those blanks?
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Not particularly!
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Stupidly obstinate I think is pig-headed -
0:24:23 > 0:24:25but I'll go for the bottom one
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- as dogged.- Dogged.- Yeah.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Grim persistence, OK.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31There is your red line,
0:24:31 > 0:24:34get below that with dogged and you are through to the next round.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Let's see how many of our 100 people said dogged.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Well done, you're through.
0:24:46 > 0:24:4821, taking your total up to 36. APPLAUSE
0:24:51 > 0:24:52Yeah, terrific work all round, there.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Funnily enough, I think both our first two podiums
0:24:55 > 0:24:56were worried about their answers -
0:24:56 > 0:24:59they were the best two answers on that board, antsy and sluggish.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00- Confident, cheeky?- Cocky.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Cocky, yeah.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Aggressively confident and self-assertive?
0:25:05 > 0:25:06- Bullish.- Bullish.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13And P-H is pig-headed, and that's the biggest scorer. 42.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16So, at the end of our second round,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18the pair who are heading home with their high score of 65,
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Laura and Lewis, I'm afraid it's you,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22despite the second best answer
0:25:22 > 0:25:25of the round, which was absolutely brilliant.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27But anyway, it all bodes very well.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29We'll see you again next time - I'm sure you'll go much further.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31In the meantime, thanks very much, Laura and Lewis.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32APPLAUSE
0:25:35 > 0:25:38But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Well, congratulations Matilda, Amanda, Megan and David,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48you are now one step closer to the final,
0:25:48 > 0:25:52and the chance to play for that jackpot, which, lest we forget,
0:25:52 > 0:25:55currently stands at £6,500.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56APPLAUSE
0:25:59 > 0:26:01But the great news is, we've arrived at the head-to-head,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03which means we can confer before giving answers.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05That's very nice, you have a chat
0:26:05 > 0:26:07before you have to hand over the knowledge.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Very, very best of luck to both pairs,
0:26:12 > 0:26:13let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Here's your first question, and it concerns...
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- Richard.- Yes, simply five clues now relating to African countries -
0:26:29 > 0:26:31can you give us the most obscure answer, please?
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Thanks very much indeed.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come, we've got...
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Let me read those all again.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17There we go.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Five clues to facts about African countries.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Matilda and Amanda, you are our low scorers,
0:27:22 > 0:27:23so you will go first.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- MATILDA:- Are you sure? - Go with the fourth one down.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30OK. We're going to say that the long-distance runner comes from...
0:27:30 > 0:27:32- is it...?- Ethiopia.- Ethiopia.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Ethiopia say Matilda and Amanda.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36Now, then, Megan and David,
0:27:36 > 0:27:38do you fancy talking us through that board
0:27:38 > 0:27:40and answering the unanswered clues?
0:27:40 > 0:27:46- MEGAN:- So, the first one, Sharm El Sheikh is in Egypt, I think.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50- But we're not definite, no, right. - No!
0:27:50 > 0:27:52And the final one...
0:27:52 > 0:27:54I think, is Madagascar.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Did you want to have a guess at the flag?
0:27:56 > 0:27:59It's worth a guess. I think we'll go for Libya.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- Libya.- Yeah.- Libya, for the flag.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03So we have Ethiopia and we have Libya.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08Well, Matilda and Amanda went for Ethiopia for Haile Gebrselassie.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09Let's see if that's right,
0:28:09 > 0:28:12let's see how many of our 100 people got Ethiopia.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15It's right.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Not bad, 46 for Ethiopia.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22APPLAUSE
0:28:24 > 0:28:25Megan and David, meanwhile,
0:28:25 > 0:28:29have gone for Libya for the green and white and green flag.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Let's see if that's right, in the first instance.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33If it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Bad luck, not Libya as it turns out.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Which means, very well done Amanda and Matilda.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Yeah, well played. Libya's flag used to be completely green, up to 2011,
0:28:47 > 0:28:49it used to have the most boring flag in the world.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52That's the Nigerian flag, green, white, green.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55It would have scored you 14 points, would have been a very good answer.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Sharm El Sheikh is in Egypt.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01It's the biggest scorer up there. 77 points.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Cote d'Ivoire won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2015.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Would have scored you 6 points.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09And the island country is Madagascar.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12That would have scored you 42.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- So, Cote d'Ivoire the best answer up there.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17OK, here comes your second question.
0:29:17 > 0:29:18Megan and David, you get to answer it first,
0:29:18 > 0:29:21but you have to win this one to stay the game, so, very best of luck.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24The second question today is all about...
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- Richard.- We're going to show you five pictures now of politicians
0:29:32 > 0:29:34who were members of Tony Blair's first Cabinet in 1997,
0:29:34 > 0:29:36can you identify the most obscure?
0:29:36 > 0:29:40OK, let's reveal our five Blair Cabinet members, and here they come.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41We have got...
0:30:06 > 0:30:08There we are, five members of Tony Blair's Cabinet.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Megan and David, it's your turn to answer first.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17OK, I think we're going to go for picture C and say Clare Short.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Clare Short for C, say Megan and David.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Now, Matilda and Amanda,
0:30:22 > 0:30:25do you feel like talking us through the rest of the board?
0:30:25 > 0:30:30We think B is David Blunkett, and E is Alastair Campbell,
0:30:30 > 0:30:32but we think they're going to be fairly high scorers.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35So we'll go with D, Margaret Beckett.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Margaret Beckett. So, we have Clare Short and Margaret Beckett.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Megan and David said Clare Short, let's see if that is right for C.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said Clare Short.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49It's right.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Not bad, look at that, 19 for Clare Short.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56APPLAUSE
0:30:58 > 0:30:59Good answer.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Matilda and Amanda, meanwhile, have gone for Margaret Beckett,
0:31:02 > 0:31:06let's see if that's right for D, let's see how many people said that.
0:31:09 > 0:31:10It's right.
0:31:14 > 0:31:1736, so, well done. APPLAUSE
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Megan and David, you did exactly what you needed to do,
0:31:19 > 0:31:21back in the game after two questions.
0:31:21 > 0:31:22It's one apiece.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Well played. Let's fill these in from E.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27It's not Alastair Campbell - Alistair Darling.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Went on to become Chancellor of the Exchequer under Gordon Brown.
0:31:31 > 0:31:3244 points for that.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34You were right about David Blunkett -
0:31:34 > 0:31:36David Blunkett is the biggest scorer on the board.
0:31:36 > 0:31:3857 points.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40And the best answer on the board is A,
0:31:40 > 0:31:41he was Secretary of State for Defence,
0:31:41 > 0:31:44went on to become Secretary General of Nato.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45- George Robinson?- George Robertson.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47- Robertson.- Robertson, yeah.- Oh!
0:31:47 > 0:31:48Would have scored you 1 point.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Very well done if you said that at home.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Thank you very much indeed.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55OK, here comes your third question.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:31:57 > 0:31:59and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:31:59 > 0:32:06Our third question today is all about short stories and novellas.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08- Richard.- We're going to show you the names, now,
0:32:08 > 0:32:11of five short stories or novellas, but we've missed out
0:32:11 > 0:32:13all but the first letter of the last word in each one.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Can you tell us the last word of each of these titles, please?
0:32:16 > 0:32:17Good luck, both teams.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20OK, let's reveal our five titles - and here they come.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:32:49 > 0:32:50There we are.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Now, Matilda and Amanda, it's back to you.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54Which one do you think?
0:32:54 > 0:32:57I think maybe the last one, but I'm not too...
0:32:57 > 0:32:59- Winner?- Yeah. Shall we just go for that?
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Yeah, we're going to go for the last one,
0:33:01 > 0:33:02and say The Rocking-Horse Winner.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05The Rocking-Horse Winner say Matilda and Amanda.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Now then, Megan and David,
0:33:07 > 0:33:09do you want to talk us through the others?
0:33:09 > 0:33:10We think the first one...
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Are we going to go with that one?
0:33:12 > 0:33:16- Well, yes.- The first one, we think, is The Snows Of Kilimanjaro.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Don't know the second.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21Brokeback Mountain for the third.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- So we're...- We'll go for the first one, The Snows Of Kilimanjaro.
0:33:24 > 0:33:25OK, The Snows Of Kilimanjaro.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28So, The Rocking-Horse Winner and The Snows of Kilimanjaro.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31So, Amanda and Matilda went for winner, Rocking-Horse Winner -
0:33:31 > 0:33:33let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37It is The Rocking-Horse Winner.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43That's a great answer, look at that, 5,
0:33:43 > 0:33:45very well done indeed Matilda and Amanda.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47APPLAUSE Superb answer there.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Megan and David, meanwhile, have gone for The Snows Of Kilimanjaro,
0:33:53 > 0:33:56the Ernest Hemingway. Let's see if that's right.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01It's right.
0:34:05 > 0:34:0747. APPLAUSE
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Which means, very well done indeed, Amanda and Matilda.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12After three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Yeah, nothing you could do there,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16that was the best answer on the board,
0:34:16 > 0:34:17so terrific play, very well done.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19The Tell-Tale Heart, Edgar Allan Poe,
0:34:19 > 0:34:20surprisingly low scorer.
0:34:20 > 0:34:2215 points for that.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24How about this for a scorer?
0:34:24 > 0:34:25Brokeback Mountain...
0:34:25 > 0:34:2790.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29- Really?- Yeah.- There you go.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32- And it's The Nightingale... - ..and the Rose.- ..and the Rose.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34That would have scored 12 points.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35Thank you very much indeed.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:38 > 0:34:39I'm afraid, Megan and David, it is you.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42It's good news, really, cos it means we get to see you next time.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44- Thank you.- Otherwise it would all have been over
0:34:44 > 0:34:45in just one appearance,
0:34:45 > 0:34:47and that would have been one appearance too few.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Thank you so much for playing so well. Megan and David.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Great contestants. APPLAUSE
0:34:54 > 0:34:57For Matilda and Amanda, it is now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Congratulations, Matilda and Amanda.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05You've seen off all the competition,
0:35:05 > 0:35:08and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18At the end of today's show,
0:35:18 > 0:35:21the jackpot is standing at £6,500.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23- AUDIENCE:- Whoo!
0:35:24 > 0:35:25What about that?
0:35:25 > 0:35:28You were the winners of the battle of the families -
0:35:28 > 0:35:30there you are, in the head-to-head round,
0:35:30 > 0:35:32and you're taking home a Pointless trophy each.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Let's see if you can also take home that wonderful jackpot with you.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- Um...- Music was our strongest. - Yeah, some kind of music.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42- Yeah.- Yes.- Yeah.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45OK. Well, as always, four subjects will appear on the board behind me,
0:35:45 > 0:35:46you just have to hope
0:35:46 > 0:35:49there's something up there you like the look of.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Today's selection reads like this...
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- OK...- If we went for Canadian singers, there's Neil Young,
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Justin Bieber...
0:36:08 > 0:36:10- I don't...!- I don't know anything about him!- OK.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13I know about Neil Young, if not we'll make something up.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15- You'll make something up!- Yeah!
0:36:15 > 0:36:17- OK!- OK, you're going to go for Canadian singers.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- Yes.- Yeah, I think we are. - OK, that's what it's going to be.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23- Richard.- And you're relying on Neil Young or Justin Bieber -
0:36:23 > 0:36:25that's the plan. Let's take a little look.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26We are looking for...
0:36:28 > 0:36:30..not Bryan Adams, we are looking for any Justin Bieber
0:36:30 > 0:36:33UK top 40 single up to June 2016,
0:36:33 > 0:36:37any Bryan Adams UK top 40 single up to June 2016,
0:36:37 > 0:36:43or any tracks on Neil Young's Decade collection from 1977.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44That's spooky.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47So, Justin Bieber or Bryan Adams UK top 40 singles,
0:36:47 > 0:36:50or tracks on Neil Young's 1977 collection Decade.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- Very, very best of luck.- OK, now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:36:53 > 0:36:55to come up with three answers,
0:36:55 > 0:36:56and all you need to win that jackpot
0:36:56 > 0:36:58is for one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00- Yes.- Are you ready?
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- Yes.- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07We should have listened to Ruby's Justin Bieber more.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10We should have done. I don't know anything about Justin Bieber.
0:37:10 > 0:37:11Sorry is one of his - a more recent one.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Isn't that quite popular? What about...
0:37:13 > 0:37:17Bryan Adams did The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- OK.- Run To Me...
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- Summer Of '69, but that's a bit... - That's obvious.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Neil Young's Decade, there's Cortez The Killer.
0:37:26 > 0:37:27That could be quite low.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- Yeah, OK.- Cortez The Killer... Um...
0:37:31 > 0:37:35- Hurricane.- Yeah, so, Cortez The Killer, Hurricane...
0:37:35 > 0:37:36And...
0:37:36 > 0:37:39The Only Thing... Let's do one Bryan Adams and two Neil Young.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- Yeah, sure.- We'll leave Bieber alone.- Leave Bieber out of it, OK.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Ruby will be cross, but...
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Yeah, OK. So, The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me...
0:37:47 > 0:37:51- What was that one he did with the woman from Spice Girls?- I...
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Oh, with Mel B, but I don't know what it's called.
0:37:54 > 0:37:55Yes, it was called...
0:37:55 > 0:37:57- Baby When You're Gone. - OK, do you want to do that?
0:37:57 > 0:38:00- Shall we do that?- So, Baby When You're Gone, Cortez the Killer...
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- Cortez the Killer and Hurricane. - OK, yeah.
0:38:03 > 0:38:04- OK.- OK.
0:38:04 > 0:38:05OK, sounds like you've arrived.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08There's your time up. So, let's have those three answers.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10So, we're going to do one Bryan Adams...
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- Which is?- Baby When You're Gone.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- Baby When You're Gone. - And then two from Neil Young.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- We're going to do Hurricane... - Hurricane...
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- ..and Cortez The Killer. - ..and Cortez The Killer.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22- Yeah.- OK, of those three,
0:38:22 > 0:38:24which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- Cortez The Killer. - Cortez The Killer goes last.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31- Baby When You're Gone. - Baby When You're Gone.- Yeah.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then,
0:38:34 > 0:38:36and here they are. We have got...
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Well, very, very best of luck.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45If one of these answers turns out to be pointless
0:38:45 > 0:38:48and wins you that jackpot, what would you like to do with it?
0:38:48 > 0:38:496,500 quid.
0:38:49 > 0:38:50To you, first, Matilda.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53I'd really like to go travelling, so I think I'd put it towards that.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55I really want to go to South America.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Yeah - something I've always wanted to do, so, go towards that.
0:38:58 > 0:38:59Wonderful. Amanda, how about you?
0:38:59 > 0:39:02I'd probably put it towards some kind of holiday, yeah.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06- Lovely.- Just for me and my partner, not for the girls.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- OK, well...- Thanks(!)
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Fair enough! Fingers crossed.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Three good answers there, and it fell so nicely,
0:39:13 > 0:39:15it'd be just the most perfect end to the show
0:39:15 > 0:39:19if you could possibly find a jackpot-winning pointless answer.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21OK, your first answer is Baby When You're Gone,
0:39:21 > 0:39:25in this case we were looking for Bryan Adams UK top 40 singles.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28If this is pointless it will win you £6,500.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Let's see how many of our 100 people said Baby When You're Gone.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37It's right.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Now, if Bryan Adams can take us all the way down to zero
0:39:40 > 0:39:43with Baby When You're Gone, you will leave here with £6,500.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Down we go into single figures.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47We're still going down...
0:39:47 > 0:39:483. APPLAUSE
0:39:51 > 0:39:52OK.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Three people got Baby When You're Gone,
0:39:55 > 0:39:57so, not a pointless answer.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59A brilliant answer, but not a pointless answer.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01We move on to the next answer you gave.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Hurricane - in this case we were looking for any track
0:40:04 > 0:40:09on Neil Young's album Decade, 1977 collection.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11If Hurricane is on there, and it is pointless,
0:40:11 > 0:40:13it will win you £6,500.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Very, very best of luck. How many people said Hurricane?
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Hurricane not on that collection.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28A wrong answer, which means we move onto your third and final answer,
0:40:28 > 0:40:32Cortez The Killer. We're sticking with Neil Young,
0:40:32 > 0:40:38it's another track from that album, Decade, the 1977 collection.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41If it is on there, and if it is pointless, it wins you £6,500.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said Cortez The Killer.
0:40:48 > 0:40:49It's right.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Your first answer Baby When You're Gone
0:40:51 > 0:40:53took us all the way down to 3.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Your second answer Hurricane was incorrect.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Cortez the Killer is absolutely right, single figures,
0:40:58 > 0:40:59down it goes, down we go,
0:40:59 > 0:41:01we pass 3 - we've done it!
0:41:01 > 0:41:02AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:41:02 > 0:41:05- Absolutely thrilling. - Thank you.- Superb.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Very, very well done.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14That is fantastic, congratulations!
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Cortez The Killer was a pointless answer,
0:41:17 > 0:41:21which means you go home with that jackpot of £6,500.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Absolutely fantastic. APPLAUSE
0:41:24 > 0:41:27I'm so delighted for you, that's terrific,
0:41:27 > 0:41:30you called what the category was going to be exactly right,
0:41:30 > 0:41:32and you walk away with the money, terrific stuff.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Like A Hurricane is the Neil Young song - Hurricane, Bob Dylan.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37It would have scored you 1 point, anyway.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40- Oh, OK.- So it would have extended the agony.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Let's take a look at all the different pointless answers.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45We'll start with Justin Bieber. None of his modern stuff.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47He's sort of reinvented himself in the last couple of years,
0:41:47 > 0:41:49none of them were really pointless answers.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54You could have All Bad, All That Matters,
0:41:54 > 0:41:55Bad Day, Change Me, Confident,
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Mark My Words, Next To You, No Pressure, Recovery, #thatPOWER,
0:41:58 > 0:42:00The Feeling, and Turn To You.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02All of those were pointless answers for Justin Bieber.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Moving on to Bryan Adams. One of these songs you said
0:42:05 > 0:42:07during your 60 seconds - The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me Is You,
0:42:07 > 0:42:09- that would have been a pointless answer.- Oh!
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Some big hits here.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18Also, All For Love was a pointless answer, Back To You,
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Flying, I Finally Found Someone, It's Only Love,
0:42:20 > 0:42:21Let's Make A Night To Remember,
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Somebody, Star, and There Will Never Be Another Tonight,
0:42:24 > 0:42:25all pointless answers as well.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Now, Neil Young.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31There's Cortez The Killer, just won you £6,500.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Down By The River...
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Broken Arrow, Cinnamon Girl, Expecting To Fly,
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Love Is A Rose, Ohio, Sugar Mountain, The Loner,
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Winterlong - loads of pointless answers there, as well.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Very well done if you got any of those at home,
0:42:45 > 0:42:47and a richly deserved jackpot in the studio, well played.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50- Thank you.- Thank you. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard -
0:42:50 > 0:42:53and thanks once again to our winning players, Amanda and Matilda,
0:42:53 > 0:42:57who go away with today's jackpot of £6,500.
0:42:57 > 0:42:58APPLAUSE
0:42:59 > 0:43:00Join us next time,
0:43:00 > 0:43:03when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:08 > 0:43:09APPLAUSE
