0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome
0:00:25 > 0:00:28to Pointless, the show where the more obscure your knowledge,
0:00:28 > 0:00:31the better your chances of winning. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38- And couple number one. - Hello, my name's Dale.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41This is my wife, Linsey, and we're from Dunfermline.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43- Couple number two. - Hello, my name's Rosie.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46This is my mum, Liz, and we're from Milton Keynes.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Couple number three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Sean. This is my friend, Greg, and we're from Leeds.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And finally, couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55My name's Kate. I'm originally from Cardiff and now live in Leeds,
0:00:55 > 0:00:57and this is my friend, Laura, from Gloucestershire.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Thanks very much, all of you. A warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Great to have you here. We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the
0:01:06 > 0:01:08show as it goes along, so that just leaves one more person for me
0:01:08 > 0:01:13to introduce. Pecking at our minds like a pigeon at a Monster Munch -
0:01:13 > 0:01:14other corn-based snacks are available -
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Hello, everybody. Afternoon.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Good afternoon. Good afternoon to you.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23- And to you.- How are you?
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- I'm very well.- Now, how lovely to have three returning pairs.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- I know.- And three lovely returning pairs, as well.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31We had such a nice show last time, didn't we?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Yeah, I feel sorry for Dale and Linsey, though.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34I think that was tough, that first...
0:01:34 > 0:01:37They were unlucky. It was a tough first round, and they were
0:01:37 > 0:01:39on the first podium. They're back on the first podium today.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Hopefully, we'll see a little bit more of Dale and Linsey.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44And Laura and Kate I felt a bit sorry for, as well, because they
0:01:44 > 0:01:47got knocked out in that unbelievably good second round about Africa.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Lesotho, nothing wrong with that.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- I think they got 17 points, and you got knocked out on 17 points.- 15.
0:01:51 > 0:01:5215 points! Even worse.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56- Lesotho used to be a very low scorer.- Now, through the roof.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Greg and Sean, who got knocked out in the head-to-head, as well,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03welcome back to you. Three jackpot wins in a row we've had now.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Three jackpot wins in a row. Jo and Denise took the money away
0:02:06 > 0:02:08last time, on Scarlett Johansson films.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09There we are. Very exciting.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Thanks very much indeed. So, yes, as you've gathered,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Joe and Denise won the jackpot last time, which means
0:02:14 > 0:02:17we start off with a lovely little jackpot of £1,000 at the beginning
0:02:17 > 0:02:19of this show. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Now, remember, the pair with the highest score
0:02:26 > 0:02:29at the end of each round, they're the ones we send away, so
0:02:29 > 0:02:32you just have to do whatever you can to keep your scores nice and low.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Our first category today is...
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Ooh, look, it's Sport.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Can you all decide in your pairs - Linsey's thrilled with that -
0:02:42 > 0:02:44who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53OK. And the question concerns...
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Richard.- On each board, we're going to show you seven famous nicknames
0:02:59 > 0:03:02of sporting stars. You just have to tell us who the sporting stars are,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05please. Seven on the first board and seven on the second,
0:03:05 > 0:03:07so 14 sporting stars to guess at home.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- Good luck.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11So, who are the stars behind these nicknames?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14And we have, on our first board...
0:03:32 > 0:03:34I'll read those all again.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- Dale.- Hello.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Welcome back to Pointless.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Good to be back. - We hardly saw you last time.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56It was barely even a visit, it was just...
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- Fleeting. - Remind us what you do, Dale.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Fundraising manager for an assistance-dog charity.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05What a fabulous charity. Lovely, lovely thing to be involved in.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08And Dale, your interests aside from your canine partners?
0:04:08 > 0:04:12I try to keep fit, maybe not LIKE to keep fit.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Do you have a dog of your own? - I don't.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Well, that's a great way of keeping fit.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Yeah, it is, it is.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19But I get to see the dogs, play with the dogs,
0:04:19 > 0:04:21and then just hand them back.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- I see. - It's the best of both worlds.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Now, Dale, what about our sporting names?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Linsey didn't look at all happy, I have to say,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29when this came up as a category,
0:04:29 > 0:04:33so just bearing in mind that there might be trouble ahead,
0:04:33 > 0:04:35what are you going to go for?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39OK, I know quite a few of those.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Don't be tempted to go for something too easy, Dale.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43That's all I'm saying.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44I'm going to go with, well,
0:04:44 > 0:04:48the one I'm very confident about and I think will be the lowest, I think.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52I'll go with the Golden Bear, and I'll go with Jack Nicklaus.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Jack Nicklaus, says Dale.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Let's see if that's right for the Golden Bear,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58and let's see how many of our 100 people agree with Dale.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00It is Jack Nicklaus.
0:05:05 > 0:05:0636.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09This is not bad. Good start to the game, Dale.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12He was given the nickname by a sports writer because he was large
0:05:12 > 0:05:15and blond, but also went to a school where the alumni were called
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Golden Bears. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Now, then, Rosie. - Hello.- Welcome to Pointless.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Great to have you here from Milton Keynes. What do you do, Rosie?
0:05:24 > 0:05:29- I'm a software license manager for a railway company.- Right you are.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Not based in any sort of station, no?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- No, I'm based in the head office. - Right in the head office.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Well, that's nice. What do you like doing when you put work behind you?
0:05:38 > 0:05:42I do a lot of running and a lot of exercise.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I've also got two boys that keep me busy, as well.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Very good indeed. Now, Rosie,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48how are you feeling about these sporting nicknames?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Not bad. There's a few there that I know,
0:05:51 > 0:05:55but I think I'm going to go for El Tel, which is Terry Venables.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Terry Venables, says Rosie, for El Tel.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Let's see if that's right, and let's see how many of our 100 people
0:05:59 > 0:06:01said Terry Venables.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05It's right.
0:06:08 > 0:06:1143. Not bad at all. APPLAUSE
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Nicknamed that, of course, when he managed Barcelona from 1984 to '87.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20I always thought El Tel was just because he...
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I could see him sort of living on the Costa Del Sol.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25He does now. There was a documentary about Euro 96,
0:06:25 > 0:06:27and he's got a restaurant and hotel in Spain.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28- So he has. - They had a nice shot of it,
0:06:28 > 0:06:31where you could buy his autobiography in the lobby,
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- which I thought was a nice touch. - That is nice. Yeah.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.- Pleasure.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Now, then, Greg, back we come.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Head-to-head last time.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Got to be hoping to go for the final this time, Greg.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- That would be nice.- Welcome back.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- Remind us what it is you do, Greg. - I work for the civil service in IT.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50That's right. And your interests?
0:06:50 > 0:06:55Tenpin bowling is the main one - competitions, tournaments.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57How are you doing in the local league?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59We won the local league, actually.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- Did you? - It finished a couple of months ago.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Congratulations. - Three years in a row now.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Very... Oh, you're unstoppable.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- I know.- Un-knock-down-able!
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Now, Greg, what would you like to go for?
0:07:09 > 0:07:13It's a pretty good board - I'll go with Whispering Death,
0:07:13 > 0:07:14which is Michael Holding.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Michael Holding, Whispering Death.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Nice name! Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Michael Holding.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27It's right. 36 is our low score, which you pass.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Oh, look at that - 10. Very well done indeed, Greg.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33That's a great score. 10 for Michael Holding.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Great work, Greg. Yeah, Michael Holding.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40He had a very silent run-up, they used to say,
0:07:40 > 0:07:42so they called him Whispering Death.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43- It's a bit much.- It's a bit much.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46He's the one who's got the greatest commentary voice, as well,
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Michael Holding. It sounds amazing.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Very good. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Kate, welcome back.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Remind us what you do, Kate.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55I'm a respiratory doctor.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- A respiratory doctor.- Yes.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- And a new mother.- Yes.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Which is very exciting indeed. Many congratulations on that.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Thank you.- When motherhood is
0:08:04 > 0:08:08requiring less of your time, and respiratory doctoring, obviously,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11not requiring - you know, not taking the tiny little bit that is left,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14what do you look forward to doing again?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16I'm looking forward to going back playing netball,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19because I play for a local team, and I was supposed to play
0:08:19 > 0:08:21last week, but it was absolutely tipping down with rain,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23so it was cancelled on my first match back.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Oh, no. Are you back to fitness, back to netball match fitness?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28No, not at all, but I'm quite tall, so I just stand in people's way.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Fine. Absolutely fine. Now, Kate, this board is all yours.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34If you want to talk us through all those blanks and fill them in,
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- you would be very welcome. - I think Pistol Pete is Pete Sampras.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41The Albatross, which I think will be the best answer left, I don't know.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Golden Balls is David Beckham,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46and I'll go for Ronnie O'Sullivan is The Rocket.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Ronnie O'Sullivan, says Kate.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Let's see how many of our 100 people went with Ronnie O'Sullivan.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54It's right.
0:08:57 > 0:09:03- 57. 57 for Ronnie O'Sullivan. - Very well played, yeah.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05And Robert Stevenson was such a huge snooker fan,
0:09:05 > 0:09:09he named the first-ever steam engine after Ronnie O'Sullivan, as well.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11He's a huge, huge fan.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Let's fill in the rest of these.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16You're right about David Beckham.
0:09:16 > 0:09:1770 points for him.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20You're right also about Pete Sampras.
0:09:20 > 0:09:2263 points for that, and The Albatross is so named
0:09:22 > 0:09:26because he's got an enormous arm span - over two metres -
0:09:26 > 0:09:29and that was Michael Gross. Very well done if you said that at home.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Best answer there - four points. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Well, we're halfway through the round, let's take a quick look
0:09:33 > 0:09:36at the scores. 10, the best score of that pass, Greg,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39very well done indeed. Then we travel up to 36, where we find
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Dale and Linsey. Looking good so far, Linsey.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Keep it up and that'll be marvellous.
0:09:43 > 0:09:4543 is where we find Rosie and Liz.
0:09:45 > 0:09:4957, Kate and Laura, so a little bit ahead there, Laura.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52You'll get the new board, so find a nice low-scoring answer on that
0:09:52 > 0:09:54and it should keep you in the game, best of luck.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56We're going to come back down the line now.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:01 > 0:10:04OK, let's put seven more sporting nicknames up on the board,
0:10:04 > 0:10:06and here they come.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23I'll read those all again.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39- Laura.- Hi.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Welcome back to Pointless, here from Gloucestershire,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- where you are also a doctor. - I am.- You are indeed.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48And when not doctoring, what do you love to do?
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Well, I have some small children at home that I look after on occasion.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- How many small children? - Just the two.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- OK.- So they take a lot of time.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59I like doing photography, particularly taking photos of them.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04Very nice. Now, then, Laura, you're on 57, you are the high-scorers.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Yeah.- How do you like this as a round in general?
0:11:07 > 0:11:11As a round, I thought we were going definitely out the door but I know
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- an answer and possibly two, so that is a relief.- This is good.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Is it clear to you which one might score the least of those two?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21No. Oh, I know three, golly.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Right I'm going for...
0:11:24 > 0:11:26I'm 95% sure it's right.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- This is good.- Is that a good start?
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- I think so.- OK. I'm going to go for Phil "The Power" Taylor.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Phil "The Power" Taylor, says Laura. OK, there's no red line for you,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38I'm afraid, as you're the high-scorers but
0:11:38 > 0:11:40let's see how far down the column we get with Phil Taylor.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Look at that, 44. Not bad.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51APPLAUSE Takes your total up to 101.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55His original nickname was The Crafty Potter,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- which I'm going to say is less good than The Power.- Yeah, I think so.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Of course he used to make ceramic...
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Toilet roll handles, he did indeed.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08He's from the Potteries and Eric Bristow used to coach him,
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- so The Crafty Potter. - Thank you very much.
0:12:10 > 0:12:16Sean, welcome back. Another great shirt from the Sean wardrobe,
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- may I just commend that? - Thank you very much.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Although, I would have hoped that the dragon that appears on one flank
0:12:22 > 0:12:24would be continued on the other.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26It appears to be sort of cut-off in its prime there.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Not sure why. My wife's choice - she likes this shirt.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32No, I like the shirt, too -
0:12:32 > 0:12:36it suggests lots of things but it asks more questions than it answers,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38if I'm honest, Sean. Anyway, there you are.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41You are on 10, our high-scorers behind you are Laura and Kate
0:12:41 > 0:12:45on 101. If you can score 90 or less,
0:12:45 > 0:12:46you're through to the next round.
0:12:46 > 0:12:5090 or less. Greg has set you up extremely well.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51What would you like to go for?
0:12:51 > 0:12:55There's a couple I think which are probably going to be low which I
0:12:55 > 0:12:58might know, but I'm not sure, so I'm going to go with The Special One -
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- Jose Mourinho. - Jose Mourinho.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03OK, here comes your red line.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06If you get below that with Jose Mourinho, you are through to the
0:13:06 > 0:13:08next round. How many people said Jose Mourinho?
0:13:10 > 0:13:11It's absolutely right.
0:13:15 > 0:13:2043, taking your total up to 53. Not bad at all.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Yeah, it won't surprise to know that he came up with that nickname
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- himself, Jose Mourinho. - That's clever. You know,
0:13:25 > 0:13:30I've got a Merino wool T-shirt that is my special one,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32because it wicks away all moisture.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- It wicks away moisture? - It wicks away moisture.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38"Wicks away" is a new one on me.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41"Wicks away." Is that the word?
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Have you heard the expression, "wicks away"?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- You wick...- It's just me, then.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Oh, no, I very much know what I'm talking about.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52So wicking away moisture would be to repel moisture?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55It repels moisture, and it's made out of Merino wool,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58and that's as much as I have to say.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59Oh, God, I wish that were true.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01LAUGHTER
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Now, then, Liz, welcome to Pointless.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Lovely to have you here from Milton Keynes. What do you do, Liz?
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Well, I'm retired, but I still do the odd project if people ask me to.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14That's fun. What DID you do, first of all?
0:14:14 > 0:14:15I'm a human resource consultant.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I see, and that's the sort of odd project you still go in...?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- Yes.- That's quite nice, then.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Yes, it is.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Would you prefer they didn't ask you back,
0:14:25 > 0:14:27you quite want to make a clean break and get on with retirement?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Oh, no, other people - not the people I used to work with -
0:14:30 > 0:14:32it's other people that give me projects now.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Oh, I see, I see.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36And what other things do you like getting up to, Liz?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39I love horses and riding, and I look after Rosie's boys
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- in the school holidays. - Very nice indeed.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Now, there you are on 43.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47If you can score 57 or less, Liz, you are through to Round Two.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48OK.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51I'll go for Hurricane - Alex Higgins.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56Alex Higgins. A keen interest in your result here from podium four.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01Laura and Kate will be watching every inch of that column fall.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04There is your red line. if you get below that red line, you are through
0:15:04 > 0:15:06to the next round. Let's see how many of our 100 people
0:15:06 > 0:15:07went for Alex Higgins.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- Oh!- 63 for Alex Higgins, what about that?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17APPLAUSE
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Still after all these years, a very recognisable brand.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23106 is your total there. Good news on podium four -
0:15:23 > 0:15:25they are now through.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Absolutely a big scorer, there's a wonderful film on iPlayer called
0:15:28 > 0:15:32The Rack Pack, which is about the rivalry between Higgins and Davis.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35They've dramatised it, and it's really, really good, very funny.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40And Luke Treadaway playing Alex Higgins sensationally well, as well.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Thanks very much, Richard. Now, then, Linsey.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- Linsey, welcome back, from Dunfermline.- Yes.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48And what do you do, Linsey? Remind us.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- I'm a chartered accountant. - That's right,
0:15:51 > 0:15:53and when not accounting, what do you like to get up to?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Well, I'm currently on maternity leave,
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- I've got a nine-month-old little girl.- Lovely.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- Eva?- Eva.- We discovered last time.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03We had a round after you went last time, we had famous Evas, didn't we?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05I know.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08We did mention you, we said you would have enjoyed it.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Now, then, Linsey, you're on 36.
0:16:11 > 0:16:17If you can score 69 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I'm not going to ask you to talk through the board, just in case
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- we have a tie.- Oh, right OK.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I think I know one.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30The Baby-Faced Assassin -
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Ole Gunnar Solskjaer?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Y...
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.- Solskjaer?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- Yeah.- Ooh, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Yes, do you think that'll get you down that far? I wonder.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Very well-known, obviously. LAUGHTER
0:16:47 > 0:16:50There's your red line. If you can get below it, you are through to
0:16:50 > 0:16:52the next round. Let's see how many of our 100 people
0:16:52 > 0:16:53said Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58It's right.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Oh, and you're through.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- Gosh!- Look at that, look at this, Linsey.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04That's a fantastic answer. 22.
0:17:04 > 0:17:0758 is your total. APPLAUSE
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Very well done.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Very well played, Linsey. Dale's got that look on his face that says,
0:17:12 > 0:17:16"I married well". That's a terrific answer. Well done.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21We'd have had a tie if you'd said Beefy, who was of course Ian Botham.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Would have scored you 70 points.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- The eagle, this is a very low score surprisingly.- Eddie...
0:17:26 > 0:17:27Yeah, Eddie the Eagle Edwards.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Maybe if you see it that way around it's harder to get. 38 points.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33And the Rawalpindi Express is the best answer on the board,
0:17:33 > 0:17:37and it's Shoaib Akhtar. Very well done if you said that - 5 points.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42So, at the end of our first round, the pair we have to send home with
0:17:42 > 0:17:45their high score of 106, Liz and Rosie, I'm afraid it is you.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47But we will see you again next time -
0:17:47 > 0:17:49look forward to that very much indeed - but, meantime, thank you
0:17:49 > 0:17:52so much for playing. Liz and Rosie.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54APPLAUSE
0:17:54 > 0:17:57But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05And so we are down to three pairs.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Very well done, you made it through that round.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Dale and Linsey, lovely to have you with us for Round Two, and
0:18:11 > 0:18:15congratulations, you booted off our newcomers - how do you like that?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Well, there's a welcome. Best of luck to all three pairs for our
0:18:18 > 0:18:21next round. Our category for Round Two is...
0:18:23 > 0:18:26..The Beatles. Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going to go first,
0:18:26 > 0:18:28who's going to go second? And whoever is going first,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30please step up to the podium.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes,
0:18:35 > 0:18:39We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:18:39 > 0:18:45Beatles singles containing the letters J, P, G, or R as they could.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Beatles singles containing the letters J, P, G, or R as they could.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Yeah, looking for the title of any UK top 40 single by The Beatles
0:18:52 > 0:18:55according to the officialcharts.com that has one of those four letters
0:18:55 > 0:18:58somewhere in its title, please. You see why we've chosen J, P, G and R.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00I'm getting it.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- The first names of The Beatles. - I'm getting it very much.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05John, Paul, George and Ringo.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06I'm still getting it.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09J for John, P for Paul, G for George...
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- For Ginger. No, hang on, he wasn't...- That's the Spice Girls.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Oh!- R for Ringo.- Got it.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Arthur Ringo, that was his name, wasn't it?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19He used his surname.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24OK, Linsey, what would you like to go for?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Erm...
0:19:26 > 0:19:31OK, there were two ones that I was thinking of, one of them...
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Well, they're all quite popular, the ones I know, and I think
0:19:33 > 0:19:38other people will know more obscure answers, so maybe I'll have to go
0:19:38 > 0:19:41the one I'm not so sure with.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43No, I'm going to go with the one that...
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- Yellow Submarine.- Yellow Submarine says Linsey, Yellow Submarine.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Yellow Submarine.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57It is right, very well done.
0:20:02 > 0:20:0420, not bad at all. APPLAUSE
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- 20 for yellow submarine. - Good start, Linsey.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Yeah, the biggest-selling single of 1966, Yellow Submarine.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12And sung by Arthur Ringo.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14It is sung by Arthur Ringo, yeah.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17And it's got an R in it. Is that all it's got in it?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- Pretty much, yeah.- Out of those.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- That's all you need, though. - All you need.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26- Greg.- Mm. - Greg, now, then. It's tough.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29I've gone a bit blank. I know some, but...
0:20:29 > 0:20:31I know, what was a single?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34I'm going to have to play very safe - Please Please Me.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Please Please Me, says Greg.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Let's see how many of our 100 people said Please Please Me.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44It's right.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Well, 20 is our only score thus far.
0:20:47 > 0:20:4927 for Please Please Me. APPLAUSE
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Not bad at all, roughly the same kind of era.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56Yeah, their second UK single, Please Please Me,
0:20:56 > 0:20:59and the original US pressing misspelt Beatles, with two "T"s.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Thank you very much indeed. Laura.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Well, I can only think of one answer,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06so I've decided to go with that one.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09It stands to reason!
0:21:09 > 0:21:12And it might not be a single, but it's an answer,
0:21:12 > 0:21:14so I'm going to go for Eleanor Rigby.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Eleanor Rigby, says Laura.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18That IS an answer. Let's see if it's a correct answer.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Let's see how many of our 100 people said it, if it is correct.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25It's right, very well done indeed.
0:21:28 > 0:21:2920 is our low score,
0:21:29 > 0:21:31and you pass it. Look at that - 18. Very well done indeed.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33APPLAUSE
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Yeah, and a woman named Eleanor Rigby is buried at St Peter's Church
0:21:38 > 0:21:41in Liverpool, which is where Paul and John first ever met,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43but they denied ever seeing it, but Paul has said,
0:21:43 > 0:21:46I suspect maybe subconsciously we must have done,
0:21:46 > 0:21:48because it's too much of a coincidence otherwise.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- Mm. Isn't that extraordinary? - Strange, isn't it?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Thank you very much. We're halfway through the round, Richard,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55so let's have a quick look at those scores.
0:21:55 > 0:21:5818, the best score of the pass. Very well done, Laura and Kate,
0:21:58 > 0:22:02looking good on the back of that. 20 is where we find Linsey and Dale.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Then Greg and Sean on 27, not too far ahead,
0:22:05 > 0:22:09but Sean, I hope you've got a really good low-scoring answer
0:22:09 > 0:22:11to keep you in the running for the next pass.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13We're going to come back down the line now.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:18 > 0:22:22OK, Kate, remember, we're looking for UK top 40 singles by The Beatles
0:22:22 > 0:22:25that feature one of these four letters - J, P, G or R -
0:22:25 > 0:22:26in their title.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31I can only think of really obvious ones, and I'm sure everyone else is
0:22:31 > 0:22:34going to get lower scores, so I'm going to play something a bit
0:22:34 > 0:22:36more risky. I'm going to go for Blackbird.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Blackbird, says Kate. Lovely song. Let's see if it's right,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42let's see how many of our 100 people said it. Here's your red line.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46You get anywhere near that red line with Blackbird, you're doing well.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48How many of our 100 people said it?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- Sorry. - Oh, no.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59I would have sworn that was a single, but there we are,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01I'm afraid it's not. It scores you 100 points,
0:23:01 > 0:23:05it takes your total up to 118. However, the round isn't over yet.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Yeah, sorry, Kate, just an album track on The White Album,
0:23:07 > 0:23:10I'm afraid, a beautiful song, though, Blackbird.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Sarah McLachlan does a beautiful version of it as well.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18Now, then, Sean. Sean, that's helped you out a little bit there.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22- It has.- That's given you a bit of a margin - 90 or less is your target.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- What would you like to go for? - I'll say I Wanna Hold Your Hand.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29I Wanna Hold Your Hand, says Sean. Here is your red line, lovely
0:23:29 > 0:23:33and high. If you can get below that with I Wanna Hold Your Hand,
0:23:33 > 0:23:36you're in the next round. Let's see how many people said it.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40It's right, and you're through. Very well done.
0:23:45 > 0:23:468.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Taking your total up to 35.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Number one single from 1963,
0:23:53 > 0:23:55written in the basement of Jane Asher's mum's house.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59- That's nice. - That's nice, isn't it?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02That IS nice. Thank you very much indeed. Now, Dale.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07You have to score 97, which sounds easier than it actually possibly
0:24:07 > 0:24:10might be because, as we discovered, there are pitfalls here.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- The pressure's building. - Yes, pressure is building.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14What would you like to go with?
0:24:14 > 0:24:18I had one in mind which was probably a bit more risky, but given we
0:24:18 > 0:24:23really just need a right answer - I hope this was a single -
0:24:23 > 0:24:24I'm going with Penny Lane.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28Penny Lane, says Dale, Penny Lane. Let's find out -
0:24:28 > 0:24:31was it a single or was it an album track? There is your red line.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35It just has to be right. Let's find out, how many people said
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Penny Lane, but crucially, is it right?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42It is right. Very well done.
0:24:45 > 0:24:4720. APPLAUSE
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Exactly the same as Linsey scored in the first pass,
0:24:49 > 0:24:50taking your total up to 40.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Well played, Dale. Whenever Lennon and McCartney had to visit
0:24:54 > 0:24:58each other's homes in Liverpool, the bus always changed at Penny Lane.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00That's where they had to get out and change.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- What was your riskier one, Dale? - Strawberry Fields?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Strawberry Fields Forever would've scored you 12 points, so still
0:25:06 > 0:25:09a fairly big scorer. There's a few pointless answers, actually.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Two tracks that were released in the '90s when they rediscovered
0:25:12 > 0:25:15some of those old tracks, both pointless answers.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17You could have had Free As A Bird and Real Love,
0:25:17 > 0:25:20both of those pointless answers, but also We Can Work It Out was a
0:25:20 > 0:25:23pointless answer. I'll give you some of the low scorers as well.
0:25:23 > 0:25:261 point for Something, 1 for The Ballad Of John And Yoko,
0:25:26 > 0:25:273 for Back In The USSR.
0:25:27 > 0:25:304 for From Me To You, 4 also for Come Together.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33You'd have got 5 for Hello Goodbye and Day Tripper, 6 for Get Back.
0:25:33 > 0:25:368 for I Wanna Hold Your Hand and Ticket To Ride.
0:25:36 > 0:25:3911 for Yesterday, 12 for Strawberry Fields Forever,
0:25:39 > 0:25:4315 Hard Days Night, 18 Paperback Writer and Help.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46And the top three - we've had Yellow Submarine and
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Please Please Me, and the top of all, 45 points -
0:25:49 > 0:25:50Hey Jude.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54So, we are at the end of our second round.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56The pair we have to say goodbye to, with their high score of 118,
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Kate and Laura, I'm afraid it is you.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02It was Round Two last time, it's Round Two this time. I'm so sorry.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Blackbird - lovely song. Why was that not released?
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Can't believe it. Well, who knows? But there we are,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12thank you for reminding us of it, and I'm sorry we have to send you
0:26:12 > 0:26:14on your way, but thanks so much for playing, Kate and Laura.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17APPLAUSE
0:26:17 > 0:26:19But, for Greg and Sean, Dale and Linsey,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Congratulations, Greg and Sean, Dale and Linsey,
0:26:29 > 0:26:31you are now one step closer to the final, and a chance to play for
0:26:31 > 0:26:35our jackpot which currently stands at £1,000.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Well, we have arrived at the head-to-head, which means you are
0:26:38 > 0:26:40now allowed to confer before you give your answers,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43and quite simply the first pair to win two questions in this round
0:26:43 > 0:26:46will go through to the final to play for that jackpot.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Greg and Sean, you were here last time, you were standing where you
0:26:49 > 0:26:53are standing now, as the golden couple, our low-scoring pair,
0:26:53 > 0:26:58the heroes of the game thus far, and it was snatched away from under
0:26:58 > 0:27:00your noses, I'm sorry to say.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02So this time, of course, you'll be hoping to do better,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04but this time you've got Dale and Linsey,
0:27:04 > 0:27:07who I know have come back feeling that Pointless owes them something,
0:27:07 > 0:27:10because they were booted out in the first round the time before,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12and here they are now in the head-to-head.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Best of luck to both players. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25Here is your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:25 > 0:27:27residents of the Isle of Man.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- Richard.- Yeah, we're going to show you five pictures now of
0:27:30 > 0:27:33famous people who were either born on the Isle of Man or lived there
0:27:33 > 0:27:35for a very long time. Can you identify one of these, please?
0:27:35 > 0:27:40OK, let's reveal our five Isle of Man people, and here they are.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14There you are - five residents of the Isle of Man.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Now, then, Greg and Sean, you're our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Feel free to confer.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31So, Greg and Sean, what are you going to go for?
0:28:31 > 0:28:34We're going to go with E, which is Mark Cavendish.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Mark Cavendish, say Greg and Sean.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Now, then, Dale and Linsey, do you fancy talking us through
0:28:41 > 0:28:43the board and supplying the missing names?
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Well, A - is it Barry Gibb?
0:28:46 > 0:28:47I thought it was Maurice Gibb.
0:28:48 > 0:28:53OK, well, we'll leave that one. B I know is Rhys-Davies, but I can't for
0:28:53 > 0:28:57the life of me think his first name. He plays Gimli in Lord Of The Rings.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02C, I don't think we know C. D is Jeremy Clarkson.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Take a flyer with B.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Really? You don't know his name.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Yeah, but D's not going to be lower than E.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14But A, people might not know his first name.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16- Let's go with B, I think... - OK.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20Let's go with John Rhys-Davies.
0:29:20 > 0:29:21John Rhys-Davies.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24JOHN Rhys-Davies.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28OK, so we have Mark Cavendish and John Rhys-Davies.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31In the order they were given, Greg and Sean said Mark Cavendish for E.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38It's right.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Look at that, 8 for Mark Cavendish.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49Very well done indeed, Greg and Sean.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Good answer. Meanwhile,
0:29:50 > 0:29:55Dale and Linsey have taken a pretty colossal punt on John Rhys-Davies,
0:29:55 > 0:30:00You're sure of Rhys-Davies. You said John - let's see if it's right.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09It is John Rhys-Davies. Very well done indeed.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11It's got a long way down to go, but will your gamble pay off?
0:30:11 > 0:30:15Yes, it will! Look at that, 3 for John Rhys-Davies!
0:30:15 > 0:30:20Very well done, gutsy play on the blue podium there, and well done.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23It means after one question, Dale and Linsey, you're up 1-0.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24Yeah, very nice.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28Now Linsey's got that "I married well" look on her face.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Best two answers on the board, teams, so very well played.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Going to be a terrific head-to-head, I think.
0:30:32 > 0:30:38A is Barry Gibb, so it was Barry. Would've scored you 28.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43- C is Norman Wisdom.- I thought it looked like Norman Wisdom.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Why is he wearing a dog collar?
0:30:46 > 0:30:49I don't know, is that a dog collar? You know what Norman Wisdom's like.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51- I don't remember him being a man of the cloth...- I don't think he was,
0:30:51 > 0:30:54he probably played one, or is it actually a dog collar
0:30:54 > 0:30:56- or is it just a collar? - Looks a bit like one.
0:30:56 > 0:30:5748 points for Norman Wisdom, anyway.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00I didn't know Clarkson owned property on the Isle of Man.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03He bought a lighthouse on the Isle of Man, Jeremy Clarkson.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07And he would've scored you 69 points.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Thank you very much indeed. OK, here comes your second question.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Now, Greg and Sean, I'm getting deja vu.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16You need to win this one, although Dale and Linsey
0:31:16 > 0:31:19will get to answer it first, so best of luck.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23Our second question today is all about...
0:31:23 > 0:31:27men and women of the cloth. What about that Norman Wisdom?
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- How weird is that? - Men and women of the cloth. Richard.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Yeah, simply five clues to facts about men or women of the cloth.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:31:36 > 0:31:38OK, let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Dale and Linsey, we come to you first.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Do you know any of them?
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- I think I know one. - What was his name? Benedict.
0:32:37 > 0:32:42We're going to go with the top one, and we think it's Benedict.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45OK, Benedict, say Dale and Linsey.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Now, Greg and Sean, over to you.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52We only know one, so we're going to have to go with the second one,
0:32:52 > 0:32:55the German Reformation leader, which we think is Martin Luther.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Martin Luther. So we have Benedict, and we have Martin Luther.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02Dale and Linsey said Benedict for Joseph Ratzinger.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people
0:33:04 > 0:33:06said Benedict.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09It's right.
0:33:14 > 0:33:15Down we go to 12.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Not bad at all. Now, then, Greg and Sean
0:33:22 > 0:33:25have gone for Martin Luther for the German Reformation leader.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Martin Luther.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32It's right.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Has to beat 12.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Oh, no, 23 for Martin Luther.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Which means, very well done indeed, Dale and Linsey,
0:33:43 > 0:33:47after only two questions, you are through to the final 2-0.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Very nicely played indeed. Let's fill the rest of these in,
0:33:50 > 0:33:52the vicar and former Communards member?
0:33:52 > 0:33:53- Richard Coles. - Richard Coles.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Been on Pointless Celebrities. 10 points for that.
0:33:56 > 0:34:01- The Archbishop of Canterbury... - Is Justin Welby.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Justin Welby, absolutely, that would've scored you 22 points.
0:34:04 > 0:34:05The best answer on the board -
0:34:05 > 0:34:08she's got a brilliant name which means I'll always remember it.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10She's called Libby Lane. 8 points for Libby Lane.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Well done if you said that.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13Thank you very much indeed.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head, I can't bear this,
0:34:17 > 0:34:20Greg and Sean, twice now you've been our star performers up to the
0:34:20 > 0:34:23head-to-head point. Twice you've had it whipped away from under
0:34:23 > 0:34:26your noses. It's so unfair. But you've been so good in both shows,
0:34:26 > 0:34:28there should be some sort of award,
0:34:28 > 0:34:30maybe just the glory you take home with you.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33I'm afraid that's probably all it is, but thank you so much,
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Greg and Sean, wonderful contestants.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37APPLAUSE
0:34:39 > 0:34:42But for Dale and Linsey, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:46 > 0:34:47Congratulations, Dale and Linsey.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50You have seen off all the competition, and you have won
0:34:50 > 0:34:52our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,000.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06There it is.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07Well, what a turnaround.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Last time, we had to send you off at the end of Round One.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14This time, not only in the final, which in itself is fabulous,
0:35:14 > 0:35:18but in the final having come through a head-to-head where you weren't our
0:35:18 > 0:35:22golden couple. You know, the service was against you, you might say.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25And there you are, 2-0. It all bodes very well.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28We've been giving out the jackpot like it's going out of fashion
0:35:28 > 0:35:31over the last few shows. So, let's hope we can keep that up.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34What would you like to see coming up on the board behind me?
0:35:36 > 0:35:40In the weeks leading up to this, I know really obscure characters in
0:35:40 > 0:35:44Lord Of The Rings, and that's why John Rhys-Davies was a good one
0:35:44 > 0:35:47for me, even though I didn't know his first name to begin with.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Yeah, so, anything like that.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52But, I don't know, something to do with sport, maybe?
0:35:52 > 0:35:54See, for me, maybe '90s music?
0:35:54 > 0:35:56'90s music? And obviously sitcoms, as we know.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58- Sitcoms. - And sport.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Yeah. OK, listen, very best of luck.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03As you know, four categories will appear on the board behind me.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Let's hope there's something that doesn't want to make you run a mile.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Today's selection reads like this.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19Or science, as we used to call it.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22- Not the bottom two. - Yeah.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26But the second one could be anything, doesn't have to be films,
0:36:26 > 0:36:28it could be songs.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- Go with that one, then. - Guess so, yeah.- Go for it.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34We'll go with Things With Dancing In The Title, please.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36OK, Richard, that's what it's going to be.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39OK, good luck. Three different categories here within that.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43We are looking for any act who've had a UK top 40 single with
0:36:43 > 0:36:47a song that has dancing in the title, or dancin' in the title,
0:36:47 > 0:36:50according to officialcharts.com, up to April 2016.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53Any songs featured on the original motion picture soundtrack of
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Dirty Dancing from 1987.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Or the name of any professional dancer
0:36:57 > 0:37:00who's appeared on any series of Strictly,
0:37:00 > 0:37:04right through from the first one up to the series in 2015, please.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08So, artists with dancing songs, UK top 40 singles,
0:37:08 > 0:37:10songs featured on the Dirty Dancing soundtrack
0:37:10 > 0:37:12and any professional dancer from Strictly Come Dancing.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed. Now,
0:37:15 > 0:37:18as always, you've got one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers
0:37:20 > 0:37:23to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30OK, anything off the top of your head?
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Professional dancers on Strictly Come Dancing,
0:37:33 > 0:37:35obviously there's Ola Jordan.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40I was thinking Erin, I don't know her surname.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Natalie Bowe, maybe?
0:37:42 > 0:37:47- OK, I'll take that. - I thought Erin Bogan, but...
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Yeah. Do you know any songs on Dirty Dancing?
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- Apart from... - She's Like The Wind,
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Hungry Eyes, but they're quite...
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- Well, go...- She's Like The Wind? - She's Like The Wind.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59What was your Strictly answer?
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- Erin Bowe? - No, Natalie...
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- Natalie Lowe or Natalie... - Natalie Lowe, that sounds right.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- Does it? - I don't know.
0:38:08 > 0:38:09- Natalie Lowe. - Any of the guys?
0:38:12 > 0:38:14- Brendan Cole, but he's really popular.- Yeah.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16Artists with dancing songs.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17Ten seconds left.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21John Mayer. I don't know if he released it in the UK.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23- Take a risk if you want. - Take a risk if you want.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Scissor Sisters? What was the Scissor Sisters?
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Don't Feel Like Dancing. But that won't be pointless.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32OK, that is your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35If you can see which category you're answering in each case,
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- that would be great, thank you. - OK, artists with dancing songs...
0:38:38 > 0:38:40- The Scissor Sisters one? - No, we'll take a punt.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43We'll go for John Mayer.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46- John Mayer? - M-A-Y-E-R, yes.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Professional dancers on Strictly Come Dancing -
0:38:49 > 0:38:51- Natalie Lowe. - Natalie Lowe.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53And go with the Scissor Sisters one.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57Songs featured in Dirty Dancing - She's Like The Wind.
0:38:57 > 0:38:58She's Like The Wind.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02OK, three good answers there, spread across your categories beautifully.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Which of those do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:06 > 0:39:09- The Dirty Dancing one? - She's Like The Wind, put that last?
0:39:09 > 0:39:11- Yeah. - OK, least likely to be pointless?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14- John Mayer.- John Mayer because I don't think he released it
0:39:14 > 0:39:16- in the UK. - OK, we'll put that first.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18OK, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order,
0:39:18 > 0:39:23and here they are. We've got John Mayer, Natalie Lowe,
0:39:23 > 0:39:25She's Like The Wind.
0:39:25 > 0:39:26Three good answers.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30Let's hope one of those is pointless and will win that £1,000 jackpot
0:39:30 > 0:39:33for you. What will you do with that if you win? Dale, you first.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38I think we are looking to buy a house, so every little bit
0:39:38 > 0:39:41we can put towards a deposit would be a big help.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Very good indeed. Linsey, anything you want to add to that?
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Maybe I could go shopping!
0:39:45 > 0:39:47LAUGHTER
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Excellent. Maybe the ten quid left over you could
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- pop in the house fund. - Yeah, absolutely.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Well, very, very best of luck.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Your first answer was John Mayer.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01In this case, we were looking for any artist who has had a UK top 40
0:40:01 > 0:40:04hit with a single with the word dancing in its title.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07You've gone for John Mayer. This is the one you thought was probably
0:40:07 > 0:40:10least likely to be pointless. Only one of them has to be pointless
0:40:10 > 0:40:11for you to win that jackpot. So, for £1,000,
0:40:11 > 0:40:17let's see how many people named John Mayer as one of those artists.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Oh, bad luck.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23You had a hunch that probably wasn't a UK top 40 single and your hunch
0:40:23 > 0:40:26was right. Which means we turn to your next answer,
0:40:26 > 0:40:28which is Natalie Lowe.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32In this case, we were looking for professional dancers from across the
0:40:32 > 0:40:34history of Strictly Come Dancing.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37You've gone for Natalie Lowe. If this is right and it's pointless,
0:40:37 > 0:40:40it will win you £1,000. How many people said Natalie Lowe?
0:40:43 > 0:40:45It's right.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Well, your first answer, John Mayer, was not right
0:40:48 > 0:40:50but Natalie Lowe absolutely is.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52She takes you down through the teens,
0:40:52 > 0:40:55into single figures, still going down! Very good answer.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Look at that, it's a pointless answer!
0:40:57 > 0:40:59APPLAUSE Very well done indeed!
0:41:01 > 0:41:06Congratulations. Very well done. Very good.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Oh, fantastic! Natalie Lowe, a pointless answer.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15It wins you that £1,000 jackpot.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17So, yes, that can go in your house kitty.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Very, very well done indeed, Dale and Linsey.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- What about that?- That's terrific stuff, very well done,
0:41:22 > 0:41:25that's four jackpot wins in a row, and a great category to choose.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27You had trouble thinking of Natalie's surname,
0:41:27 > 0:41:29you came up with Erin Boag who would have scored you 2 points
0:41:29 > 0:41:31as well, so delighted you settled on Natalie Lowe.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Loads of pointless answers in that category, exactly because we all
0:41:34 > 0:41:37know the first names, the surnames are very difficult to remember.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40We'll take a look at the pointless answers in all the categories.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42We'll start with the top 40 singles.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46You could have had The Bay City Rollers, who had Keep On Dancing.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49My Feet Keep Dancing by Chic, Pet Shop Boys, Domino Dancing,
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Come Dancing by The Kinks. Loads of other pointless answers.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57Nik Kershaw, Pat And Mick, Rose Royce, Shawaddywaddy
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Simple Minds, Steve Arrington, Third World.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Loads of pointless answers there.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Now, songs featured in Dirty Dancing.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06You'd have got 6 points for She's Like The Wind.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08In The Still Of The Night was a pointless answer.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13And Yes. Those were the only pointless answers on that soundtrack.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Well done if you got one of them. Our professional dancers.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19All of those are pointless answers.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Aliona Vilani, Artem...
0:42:22 > 0:42:25the, er, gentleman's surname.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28In fact, the only ones who scored points were... Anton Du Beke was
0:42:28 > 0:42:29the biggest scorer,

0:42:37 > 0:42:40Matthew Cutler, Kevin Clifton and Vincent Simone.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Every other professional dancer was a pointless answer.
0:42:43 > 0:42:44Very well done if you got one at home,
0:42:44 > 0:42:47- and congratulations in the studio. What a lovely show.- Lovely show!
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Thanks very much indeed, and thanks again to our winning players,
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Dale and Linsey, who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55- Very well done indeed. - Thank you.
0:42:55 > 0:42:56APPLAUSE
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to
0:43:01 > 0:43:03the test on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
