Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:210:00:22

Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,

0:00:220:00:25

the show where the aim of the game is to find the most

0:00:250:00:27

obscure answer possible. Let's meet today's players.

0:00:270:00:30

And couple number one.

0:00:340:00:36

Hi, I'm David, this is Stuart, and we are friends from Edinburgh.

0:00:360:00:39

Couple number two.

0:00:390:00:40

I'm Sarah, this is my husband Mike,

0:00:400:00:43

and we're from Otley in West Yorkshire.

0:00:430:00:45

Couple number three.

0:00:450:00:46

I'm Francesca, this is Liam, we're friends from Cardiff.

0:00:460:00:49

And, finally, couple number four.

0:00:490:00:51

I'm Joel, this is my girlfriend Iris, and we are from London.

0:00:510:00:54

And these are today's contestants.

0:00:540:00:56

Thanks so much all of you, welcome to Pointless.

0:00:580:01:00

We'll get to chat to you throughout the show, of course, as it goes along.

0:01:000:01:03

So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:030:01:05

Coming over here, checking our facts, explaining our answers,

0:01:050:01:09

it's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.

0:01:090:01:11

Hiya. Hi, everybody, good afternoon.

0:01:110:01:15

-Good afternoon to you.

-Good afternoon to you.

0:01:150:01:18

Now, we're on the verge of a Pointless record,

0:01:180:01:20

or equalling a Pointless record anyway.

0:01:200:01:22

We've had five jackpot wins in a row.

0:01:220:01:24

Six is the most we've ever had in a row before.

0:01:240:01:26

We had five in a row and now Rash and Tony winning it on Golf,

0:01:260:01:29

very impressively as well.

0:01:290:01:30

Two returning pairs from that show, Francesca and Liam,

0:01:300:01:33

they got through to Round Two, and David and Stewart,

0:01:330:01:35

who were head-to-headers,

0:01:350:01:36

so two fairly strong pairs for our newcomers to take on.

0:01:360:01:39

Should be exciting. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:01:390:01:42

So, as you gather, Rash and Tony won the jackpot last time,

0:01:420:01:44

which means we start off today's show with a jackpot of £1,000.

0:01:440:01:48

There it is. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:01:480:01:51

So, remember, it's the pair with the highest score at the end of

0:01:560:01:59

each round who will be eliminated.

0:01:590:02:00

That's all you have to remember.

0:02:000:02:02

Otherwise, very, very best of luck to all four pairs.

0:02:020:02:04

Our first category this afternoon is...

0:02:040:02:08

I've never yet read out a first category without somebody going...

0:02:120:02:15

HE SIGHS

0:02:150:02:16

LAUGHTER

0:02:160:02:17

It's Album Titles, on this occasion.

0:02:170:02:19

Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:02:190:02:22

who's going to go second?

0:02:220:02:23

And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:02:230:02:26

OK, and the question concerns...

0:02:290:02:32

Debut Studio Albums. Richard.

0:02:350:02:36

On each pass, we're going to show you the names of seven debut studio albums,

0:02:360:02:40

but we've missed out a word from each title.

0:02:400:02:42

Can you fill in those words, please?

0:02:420:02:44

There's 14 in all to have a go at at home. Good luck.

0:02:440:02:47

OK, so we're looking for the missing words from these album titles.

0:02:470:02:50

Here's our board of seven. And it reads like this...

0:02:500:02:52

I'm going to read those all one last time.

0:03:110:03:13

It's really hard not to put in the missing word.

0:03:130:03:15

There we are. Phew, made it.

0:03:270:03:29

-Stuart, welcome back.

-Thank you.

0:03:290:03:31

Remind us what you do, Stuart.

0:03:310:03:32

-I'm a motivational speaker.

-See, that's just fabulous.

0:03:320:03:35

How long have you been a motivational speaker?

0:03:350:03:37

I've been doing it for about a year and a half.

0:03:370:03:39

Do you ever have downtime as a motivational speaker?

0:03:390:03:41

-Or are you just on it the whole time? Woo!

-No, a lot of downtime.

0:03:410:03:44

OK, how many doors do you go through without doing a sort of stack of

0:03:440:03:48

hands with people before you walk through it?

0:03:480:03:50

-I actually tried that earlier and nobody was up for it.

-Oh, really?

0:03:500:03:52

LAUGHTER

0:03:520:03:54

Strange, that. Stewart, now,

0:03:540:03:55

what about our missing words from our album titles?

0:03:550:03:58

There are a few... There's a lot there that I think I know,

0:03:580:04:03

and a couple that I definitely know, but I think might score quite high,

0:04:030:04:06

so mixed feelings about that.

0:04:060:04:08

I'm going to go for Oasis, and Definitely Maybe.

0:04:080:04:11

Definitely Maybe, says Stuart.

0:04:110:04:12

Let's see how many of our 100 people remembered Definitely Maybe.

0:04:120:04:15

It's right.

0:04:190:04:20

52, not bad.

0:04:230:04:24

APPLAUSE

0:04:240:04:25

-Not bad, good start.

-Nice start, yeah,

0:04:250:04:28

Noel Gallagher wrote most of that album when he was working as a

0:04:280:04:31

subcontractor for British Gas.

0:04:310:04:32

That I didn't know.

0:04:320:04:34

-Yes.

-That I didn't... I didn't even know he was a subcontractor for British Gas.

0:04:340:04:38

Blimey, every day's a school day for you, isn't it?

0:04:380:04:40

Isn't it? Sarah, welcome to Pointless.

0:04:400:04:42

-Lovely to have you here from Otley.

-Thank you. Otley in West Yorkshire.

0:04:420:04:46

Lovely, very nice indeed.

0:04:460:04:47

What keeps you busy up there?

0:04:470:04:49

What keeps me busy at the moment,

0:04:490:04:50

we're renovating a really old farmhouse on the top of Otley Chevin,

0:04:500:04:55

which is a real sort of geographical focal point of the town.

0:04:550:05:00

It's right on the edge of a forest, it's beautiful.

0:05:000:05:03

That's been a year in the making.

0:05:030:05:05

Do you do renovation and then move on, and renovate and move on,

0:05:050:05:07

or will you be renovating this and staying?

0:05:070:05:09

We are staying. We are never doing this again.

0:05:090:05:12

This has been a really stressful experience so we are never doing

0:05:120:05:14

another one, we are staying here.

0:05:140:05:16

Good stuff. Now, Sarah, what about these albums?

0:05:160:05:18

OK, I did panic a little when it was anything to do with music.

0:05:180:05:21

I know a couple...

0:05:210:05:22

..but they're going to be high-scorers,

0:05:240:05:27

and I'll have to go for Baby One More Time, Britney Spears.

0:05:270:05:30

Baby One More Time says Sarah.

0:05:300:05:32

Let's see how many of our 100 people got Baby One More Time.

0:05:320:05:35

There we are, 31.

0:05:440:05:46

APPLAUSE

0:05:460:05:47

Interesting, in the Maybe/Baby stakes,

0:05:470:05:50

actually, Maybe scoring higher than Baby, there, which is unexpected.

0:05:500:05:54

Yeah, written by Swedes, that song.

0:05:540:05:57

It was written by Max Martin and various others who have written

0:05:570:06:00

number ones for everybody in the world,

0:06:000:06:01

but they thought that "hit me" meant "call me",

0:06:010:06:03

so it's actually, "Call me, baby, one more time."

0:06:030:06:06

-Which is nicer.

-It's slightly nicer, yeah.

0:06:060:06:10

Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Francesca.

0:06:100:06:12

-Hi.

-Welcome back to Pointless.

-Thank you.

-Here from Cardiff.

-Yes.

0:06:120:06:16

Remind us what you do, Francesca.

0:06:160:06:17

I'm an English teacher and a learning and skills coach.

0:06:170:06:20

Now, when you put all your teaching and learning behind you,

0:06:200:06:24

-what do you like to get up to?

-I'm a massive film and TV buff.

0:06:240:06:27

That's why yesterday was kind of a bit of a disappointment,

0:06:270:06:31

cos it was a great category, but we didn't do as well as we wanted.

0:06:310:06:35

No, you should have done better there,

0:06:350:06:37

but this time, Francesca, on your second appearance.

0:06:370:06:39

-It was Round Two last time.

-Yes.

0:06:390:06:41

At least head-to-head this time, if not further.

0:06:410:06:44

Francesca, what are you going to go for on this board?

0:06:440:06:46

-How are you liking it?

-Erm, it's not great,

0:06:460:06:49

but there is one that jumps out at me.

0:06:490:06:51

And it's The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill.

0:06:510:06:54

The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill says Francesca,

0:06:540:06:56

let's see how many of our 100 people said that.

0:06:560:06:59

APPLAUSE

0:07:080:07:10

There we go, 6!

0:07:100:07:11

Start as you mean to go on, Francesca. That's a superb answer.

0:07:110:07:14

The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill.

0:07:140:07:16

Well played, Francesca. Great answer, great album as well.

0:07:160:07:19

-Thanks, Richard. Iris, welcome to Pointless.

-Hi.

0:07:190:07:22

-Lovely to have you here.

-Thank you.

-What do you do, Iris?

0:07:220:07:24

-I'm a food blogger.

-What particular kind of food do you blog on?

0:07:240:07:27

Healthy food, like vegan food.

0:07:270:07:29

Very good. So you are a vegan, you follow a healthy vegan diet?

0:07:290:07:32

-Yes, that's right.

-How long have you been doing that for?

0:07:320:07:35

About a year and a half, now.

0:07:350:07:36

Very good, and when you're not blogging,

0:07:360:07:38

what other things do you like getting up to?

0:07:380:07:40

I like yoga, I like swimming, I like going to the gym, dinner parties.

0:07:400:07:44

All of these things are fun, excellent.

0:07:440:07:45

Now, Iris, this board is all yours,

0:07:450:07:47

if you want to go through it and fill in all our blanks...

0:07:470:07:50

I'm a bit scared now because I was going to for Lauryn Hill.

0:07:500:07:52

I think I'm going to take a guess for Tom Odell album,

0:07:540:07:58

the Long Way Home.

0:07:580:08:00

Long Way Home, says Iris.

0:08:000:08:01

Let's see if Home was the right thing to guess,

0:08:010:08:04

let's see how many of our 100 people got it if it is.

0:08:040:08:06

No. Not the Long Way Home. That scores you 100 points, Iris.

0:08:130:08:17

Yeah, if you're going to guess one, though, it's a good one to guess

0:08:170:08:20

cos there's not many words that can fit there, but it's not Home,

0:08:200:08:23

-it's Long Way Down.

-Down.

0:08:230:08:24

Yeah, unlucky. It would've scored you 11 points.

0:08:240:08:27

Are you Experienced?

0:08:280:08:30

Jimi Hendrix Experience. 13 points for that.

0:08:300:08:34

-I Dreamed A...

-Dream.

-..Dream.

0:08:340:08:37

Would have scored you 83 points, I Dreamed A Dream.

0:08:370:08:41

Did you sing that when you dressed up as Susan Boyle on television?

0:08:410:08:44

It is exactly what I sang. LAUGHTER

0:08:440:08:45

It is worth a moment of your time, YouTubing Xander as Susan Boyle,

0:08:450:08:50

singing I Dreamed A Dream.

0:08:500:08:51

Please, please, take a look at it. Not now, during the news.

0:08:510:08:55

And top one?

0:08:550:08:56

-Hopes?

-Hopes And Fears, absolutely, by Keane. Great album.

0:08:560:08:59

That would have scored 18, so the best answer on the board, Francesca,

0:08:590:09:03

is Lauryn Hill. Well played.

0:09:030:09:04

Very well done. We're halfway through the round.

0:09:040:09:06

Let's take a quick recap of those scores.

0:09:060:09:08

6 is where we find Francesca and Liam,

0:09:080:09:09

then we travel up to 31, Sarah and Mike.

0:09:090:09:12

52, Stewart and David,

0:09:120:09:15

and then 100, Iris and Joel.

0:09:150:09:17

So, Joel, we need a low score from you,

0:09:170:09:18

and let's hope that's enough to keep you in the game.

0:09:180:09:21

It's far too soon to be sending you back.

0:09:210:09:22

We're going to come back down the line now.

0:09:220:09:24

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:09:240:09:26

OK, we're going to put seven more album titles on the board

0:09:300:09:33

and here they come.

0:09:330:09:34

We have got...

0:09:350:09:36

I'm going to read those all again.

0:09:510:09:53

Now, Joel. Good to have you here.

0:10:050:10:07

-What do you do, Joel?

-I'm a software developer and branding specialist.

0:10:070:10:14

What kind of software do you...?

0:10:140:10:16

Actually, currently, I'm working on a dating app

0:10:160:10:18

and I'm creating the brand story behind the dating app.

0:10:180:10:21

Oh, now, that's fun.

0:10:210:10:22

Do you do that from home or is there a sort of...?

0:10:220:10:24

We actually have a lovely Notting Hill office with a nice rooftop

0:10:240:10:28

where we kind of catch the rays and catch some ideas.

0:10:280:10:31

Oh, that's fantastic.

0:10:310:10:33

Now, Joel, there you are. You're on 100.

0:10:330:10:35

We need a low score. What are you going to go for from our board here?

0:10:350:10:38

I think I will go for Lady GaGa and The Fame.

0:10:380:10:42

The Fame, says Joel.

0:10:420:10:44

The Fame. Let's see how many of our 100 people

0:10:440:10:46

said The Fame for Lady GaGa.

0:10:460:10:49

Look at that!

0:10:570:10:58

4! I said you needed a low score and that's exactly what you got.

0:10:580:11:02

Our lowest score of the round so far, 4, taking your total up to 104.

0:11:020:11:06

-Is it enough, I wonder?

-Put yourself right back in it there, Joel.

0:11:060:11:09

Well played. Yeah, number one album in the UK.

0:11:090:11:11

Won a Brit for Best International Album as well.

0:11:110:11:13

Thanks very much, Richard.

0:11:130:11:15

-Liam.

-Hello.

-Welcome back.

-Thank you.

0:11:150:11:17

Here from Cardiff. Remind us what you do, Liam.

0:11:170:11:20

I am a customer service advisor for an energy company.

0:11:200:11:22

And when not advising customers, what do you get up to?

0:11:220:11:26

I read comic books, read films about the comic books...

0:11:260:11:29

Sorry, watch films about the comic books, even,

0:11:290:11:32

collect things to do with said comic books.

0:11:320:11:34

I see, so comic books, pretty much it?

0:11:340:11:36

Yes, so if we could have something like that...

0:11:360:11:39

I might regret saying that.

0:11:390:11:40

Are you complaining about the round? LAUGHTER

0:11:400:11:42

-I am.

-Is it a formal complaint?

0:11:420:11:44

Especially because I'm aggrieved that my answer has gone. Already.

0:11:440:11:47

"Aggrieved." You see? I like that. I like that a lot.

0:11:470:11:51

Now, Liam, there you are. You're on 6.

0:11:510:11:52

-You couldn't have been better set up by Francesca...

-Yes.

0:11:520:11:55

..which means 97 or less is your target.

0:11:550:11:58

Essentially, what we are looking for from you is a correct answer.

0:11:580:12:01

I believe I can give you a correct answer, if I remember correctly,

0:12:010:12:05

and I think that Craig David is Born To Do It.

0:12:050:12:08

Born To Do It. I hope this is right cos I just dread to think how

0:12:080:12:12

-aggrieved you'll be if it isn't.

-I'll just walk off in a huff!

0:12:120:12:16

Here's your red line. Get below that and you're through to Round Two.

0:12:160:12:19

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Born To Do It.

0:12:190:12:22

It's absolutely right.

0:12:250:12:26

Look at that, 10.

0:12:310:12:32

Very well done indeed. 16, our lowest total of the round.

0:12:340:12:37

-I can say that with confidence.

-Yeah, great work, Liam. Well played.

0:12:370:12:40

It comes from a line in Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory,

0:12:400:12:43

that title. How about that?

0:12:430:12:44

It doesn't sound like it does, but it does.

0:12:440:12:46

There we go. Thank you.

0:12:460:12:48

Now then, Mike. Welcome.

0:12:480:12:50

-Welcome.

-Welcome here from Otley.

0:12:500:12:53

And what do you do, Mike?

0:12:530:12:54

I'm a shopper researcher, so we explore how people shop.

0:12:540:13:01

That's interesting.

0:13:010:13:02

Do you explore it by pouncing out on them in shopping centres with

0:13:020:13:05

-questionnaires?

-We...we take them shopping.

0:13:050:13:07

That's fun!

0:13:070:13:09

-We watch and explore what they do.

-Oh, that's nice.

0:13:090:13:13

How often are you massively surprised

0:13:130:13:15

by the shopping habits of people?

0:13:150:13:17

Or does it generally follow what you might...?

0:13:170:13:19

There's some quite strange people out there.

0:13:190:13:22

LAUGHTER

0:13:220:13:23

No, they're perfectly normal people

0:13:230:13:25

who just have interesting tastes, Mike.

0:13:250:13:28

Mm... I've done it a long time.

0:13:280:13:30

There's some quite strange people.

0:13:300:13:32

Now, Mike, you have been pretty well set up.

0:13:320:13:34

72 or less gets you through to the next round.

0:13:340:13:37

Oh, no... No, you're not happy.

0:13:370:13:40

Not my top subject.

0:13:400:13:41

I'm going to go with - and hope I'm right - The Who and My Life.

0:13:420:13:48

My Life. My L-l-l-life.

0:13:480:13:51

Let's see if that's right.

0:13:510:13:53

Here is your red line.

0:13:530:13:54

How many of our 100 people went with My Life?

0:13:540:13:57

I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer and I'm afraid

0:14:010:14:03

that scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 131.

0:14:030:14:06

However, the round is not yet over.

0:14:060:14:08

You could still be in.

0:14:080:14:09

Yeah, sorry, Mike. I'll give the correct answers at the end of the pass.

0:14:100:14:13

Thank you very much indeed.

0:14:130:14:15

Now then, David.

0:14:150:14:17

-Welcome back.

-Thank you.

-Remind us what you do, David.

0:14:170:14:20

I'm about to move to Vietnam to become an English teacher.

0:14:200:14:23

This is what we discovered last time.

0:14:230:14:25

-We did.

-Yeah, you have all but finished your last job...

0:14:250:14:27

-Yes.

-..and off you head with your girlfriend?

0:14:270:14:30

With my girlfriend, yeah.

0:14:300:14:32

Do you know where you're going to be living?

0:14:320:14:34

Not quite. We think Ho Chi Minh City.

0:14:340:14:36

That's quite exciting. Quite nice that it's completely up in the air.

0:14:360:14:39

It's a great adventure, so...

0:14:390:14:40

And you're going to be teaching out there.

0:14:400:14:42

Yes. Mostly children, schoolchildren.

0:14:420:14:44

I see. OK. That's going to be fun.

0:14:440:14:45

-Yeah, really good fun.

-Best of luck with that and best of luck with this,

0:14:450:14:48

David, let's not forget. 52 is your score.

0:14:480:14:50

78 is your target.

0:14:500:14:52

What would you like to go for? Would you like to fill in our blanks?

0:14:520:14:55

I can try.

0:14:550:14:56

I'll rule out Derek And The Dominos cos I've never heard of them.

0:14:560:14:59

I think they're before my time, so...

0:14:590:15:01

GASPING AND LAUGHTER

0:15:010:15:03

Blimey O'Reilly!

0:15:040:15:06

Before your time(!)

0:15:090:15:10

The English language was before your time,

0:15:100:15:12

you're still going to go and teach it!

0:15:120:15:14

LAUGHTER

0:15:140:15:15

The Who, probably before my time, but My Generation, I think it is.

0:15:150:15:19

Life Thru A Lens, I think is Robbie Williams.

0:15:190:15:22

Guns N' Roses, I think, is Appetite For Destruction,

0:15:220:15:24

but I'm not sure.

0:15:240:15:26

And then The Killers, like... I'm obsessed with The Killers,

0:15:260:15:30

so I really should know that.

0:15:300:15:31

They're Hot Fuss, so I'm going to go with Hot Fuss.

0:15:310:15:34

Hot Fuss, says David.

0:15:340:15:35

Here's your Red Line. Get below this red line with Hot Fuss

0:15:350:15:38

and you are happily through to Round Two.

0:15:380:15:40

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Fuss.

0:15:400:15:42

It's right.

0:15:450:15:46

And you're through.

0:15:460:15:47

That's a good answer, 13.

0:15:510:15:53

Very well done indeed. Taking your total up to 65.

0:15:530:15:57

Yes, some good answers on that pass. Well played, everybody.

0:15:570:16:01

You're right about The Who, it's not My Life, it is My Generation.

0:16:010:16:04

I'm sure you know that, and would have scored you 52 points.

0:16:040:16:06

A big scorer.

0:16:060:16:08

Appetite For Destruction, you're right about that as well.

0:16:080:16:10

Guns 'N' Roses. Would have scored 27.

0:16:100:16:13

Life Thru A Lens, Robbie Williams. 33.

0:16:130:16:16

And you can probably guess this with their most famous song...

0:16:160:16:20

-Layla.

-Ah!

-Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs.

0:16:200:16:23

12 points for that.

0:16:230:16:24

So, Fame, best answer on the board, Joel. Well played.

0:16:240:16:27

There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:16:270:16:29

We're at the end of our first round and I'm sorry to say we have to say

0:16:290:16:31

goodbye to one of our lovely pairs

0:16:310:16:33

and, on this occasion, it is Mike and Sarah.

0:16:330:16:35

The good news is, we see you again next time,

0:16:350:16:38

but I'm so sorry. My Generation, come on, Mike!

0:16:380:16:40

We went to see them last year, I wouldn't mind!

0:16:400:16:42

LAUGHTER Sarah, piling insult to injury!

0:16:420:16:45

They were very loud!

0:16:450:16:47

-Famously, they are.

-They were fantastic.

-Oh, dear.

0:16:470:16:50

Anyway, listen, we will see you again next time.

0:16:500:16:52

I'm sure you will go much, much further.

0:16:520:16:54

-Meantime, thank you so much, Mike and Sarah.

-Thank you.

0:16:540:16:57

But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:16:590:17:02

Down to three pairs now. Gets a little bit more exciting.

0:17:080:17:10

At the end of this round, obviously, we will have to say goodbye to

0:17:100:17:13

another pair. Francesca and Liam,

0:17:130:17:15

just, well done. Two lovely low scores.

0:17:150:17:17

Miseducation and Born. Very good indeed.

0:17:170:17:20

Keep that up and we should see you through to the head-to-head.

0:17:200:17:23

Best of luck to all three pairs.

0:17:230:17:24

Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...

0:17:240:17:27

Chemistry.

0:17:270:17:28

Chemistry. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:17:290:17:32

who is going to go second?

0:17:320:17:34

And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:17:340:17:36

OK, let's find out what our question is.

0:17:390:17:42

Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:17:420:17:47

..as they could.

0:17:510:17:52

This is fun, isn't it?

0:17:530:17:55

Elements beginning with any of those letters.

0:17:550:17:58

P-E-R-I-O-D-I-C.

0:17:580:17:59

I like that we've repeated "I" there, just to remind you.

0:17:590:18:02

-Richard.

-Yeah, we are looking for any element of the periodic table

0:18:020:18:06

that begin with the letters of the word periodic.

0:18:060:18:08

I will actually say something,

0:18:080:18:09

which is, this is as of April 2016, which is important to say,

0:18:090:18:13

cos they are adding some new elements to the periodic table,

0:18:130:18:15

which is going to be very exciting

0:18:150:18:17

for future Pointless rounds, but doesn't count yet. But will do soon.

0:18:170:18:21

-It will.

-That's going to be exciting.

-I can't wait.

0:18:210:18:24

And they've asked if we would name one of them in recognition of our

0:18:240:18:28

help towards people's understanding of the periodic table.

0:18:280:18:31

-Pointlessium.

-I've called it Armstrongium.

0:18:310:18:34

-Aww!

-That's nice, isn't it? What are you going to call yours?

0:18:340:18:37

I've also gone for Armstrongium.

0:18:370:18:39

Isn't that awful? I feel terrible now.

0:18:390:18:41

LAUGHTER

0:18:410:18:42

That's OK. That says a lot.

0:18:420:18:44

Thanks very much indeed. So, remember,

0:18:440:18:46

it's any chemical element that begins with one of the letters

0:18:460:18:48

from the word "periodic". We throw it open to you, David.

0:18:480:18:51

Trying to remember back to chemistry at high school.

0:18:530:18:56

I'd remember back to previous episodes of Pointless, if I were you.

0:18:560:19:00

That's where you remember really low-scoring elements, but...

0:19:000:19:03

-Yeah.

-I'm going to go for polonium.

0:19:030:19:07

-Polonium.

-Yeah.

-Polonium, says David.

0:19:070:19:09

Let's see how many of our 100 people said polonium.

0:19:090:19:11

Look at that. Wonderful! APPLAUSE

0:19:220:19:24

3, David. 3 for polonium.

0:19:240:19:26

-Very strong.

-Terrific start to the round.

0:19:270:19:29

Yeah, named after Poland, which is where it was discovered,

0:19:290:19:32

by Marie and Pierre Curie.

0:19:320:19:33

Hmm. Thank you very much indeed.

0:19:340:19:36

Francesca.

0:19:360:19:38

-SHE SIGHS

-Hmm.

-Hmm.

0:19:380:19:40

Oh, is this not...is this not...? This is not comfortable territory.

0:19:400:19:44

No. Not at all. This is just horrendous.

0:19:440:19:48

-Oh, I'm sorry.

-But I think I will go for O...

0:19:480:19:50

..osmium.

0:19:530:19:54

What are you talking about? That's a great answer!

0:19:550:19:57

Oh, or is it? Oh, I don't know!

0:19:570:19:58

-Let's find out. Osmium.

-Jeopardy. You never know!

0:19:580:20:01

How many of our 100 people said osmium? Is it right?

0:20:010:20:04

It is right.

0:20:070:20:09

3 is our only score at this point. Let's see where osmium ends up.

0:20:090:20:13

Oh, look at that. 2 for osmium.

0:20:150:20:17

APPLAUSE

0:20:170:20:18

Yeah, osmium. That's why I've called it Armstrongium,

0:20:220:20:24

cos I've already got one.

0:20:240:20:25

Yeah, that's why. They wouldn't allow osmium.

0:20:250:20:28

Named after me because it's dense and hard to work with.

0:20:280:20:30

LAUGHTER

0:20:300:20:31

Thanks very much indeed.

0:20:320:20:34

Now, Iris.

0:20:340:20:36

We didn't have a lot of chemistry in school, full stop.

0:20:360:20:40

That's a kind of, "During my time, but..."

0:20:400:20:42

-No, no, no. I went to art school from the age of four, so...

-What?!

0:20:420:20:46

Chemistry wasn't as...high up.

0:20:460:20:48

-How cool is that?

-Art school from the age of four?

0:20:480:20:50

-That's brilliant.

-Yeah.

-Where were you schooled?

0:20:500:20:53

Nijmegen, the Netherlands.

0:20:530:20:55

-Right.

-God, that's the Netherlands all over, isn't it?

0:20:550:20:57

-Art school from four.

-I know. Free spirited.

-That's why...

0:20:570:21:00

We discovered the other day that the Netherlands

0:21:000:21:03

-are very happy people all round.

-Yeah.

-That's why.

0:21:030:21:05

That's why. Art school from the age of four?

0:21:050:21:08

-How about that?

-Oh, I'm sorry, throwing this on you.

0:21:080:21:12

That's OK. I will guess and say iron.

0:21:120:21:15

-Iron, says Iris.

-Iron.

0:21:160:21:18

OK, let's see how many of our 100 people went with iron.

0:21:180:21:21

Wow. 33.

0:21:310:21:33

33 for iron. 33 for iron?

0:21:340:21:38

-I would have...

-Yes.

-Yeah.

0:21:380:21:39

Well, I think iron is one of those things that people don't quite think

0:21:390:21:42

is an element sometimes, because it doesn't end "-ium"

0:21:420:21:44

or something like that, and people feel like it's just something

0:21:440:21:47

-you might find in the street.

-Hmm.

-Which you would.

0:21:470:21:50

-Which you do, quite often.

-Yeah. Discovered by Benedict Any Old.

0:21:500:21:55

LAUGHTER

0:21:550:21:56

Thank you very much indeed.

0:22:000:22:02

Well, listen, we're halfway through the round.

0:22:020:22:04

I think it's time we have a look at those scores and see where we are.

0:22:040:22:07

2 is where we find Francesca and Liam,

0:22:070:22:09

3 is where we find David and Stuart,

0:22:090:22:11

and 33 is where we Iris and Joel.

0:22:110:22:14

So, yes, Joel, you have a little bit to do here.

0:22:140:22:17

Who knows what'll happen in the next pass?

0:22:170:22:19

Good luck for you. We're going to come back down the line now.

0:22:190:22:22

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:22:220:22:24

Now, then, Joel.

0:22:270:22:28

We are looking for chemical elements that begin with any of the letters

0:22:280:22:31

of the word "periodic".

0:22:310:22:33

Er...

0:22:350:22:37

Actually having a tiny bit of a brain freeze here, but...

0:22:390:22:43

I think I will also try the letter I and go for iodine.

0:22:430:22:48

Iodine, says Joel.

0:22:480:22:49

Let's see how many of our 100 people said iodine.

0:22:490:22:51

Now, there's no red line for you as you're the high-scorers,

0:22:510:22:54

but let's see how far down the column we can get with iodine.

0:22:540:22:56

It's right.

0:23:000:23:01

22. Not bad.

0:23:050:23:07

55 is your total.

0:23:090:23:11

Yeah, named after the Greek word for "violet", iodine.

0:23:110:23:15

Thank you very much, Richard.

0:23:150:23:17

-Liam.

-Yes.

0:23:170:23:19

Liam. Well, that's nice and comfortable, I think.

0:23:190:23:22

A bit of a margin there.

0:23:220:23:23

-Yeah.

-You can score 52 or less and still get through.

-Yeah.

0:23:230:23:27

I don't know if I should hedge my bets and go for something

0:23:280:23:31

I definitely know or something I think

0:23:310:23:33

could potentially be pointless.

0:23:330:23:36

Erm...

0:23:360:23:37

It is right, so I'm going to go for Rutherfordium.

0:23:370:23:40

Rutherfordium, says Liam.

0:23:400:23:42

OK. Here is your red line.

0:23:420:23:44

If you get below that with Rutherfordium, hooray.

0:23:440:23:47

-I think it's right.

-Well, exactly.

0:23:470:23:49

Let's find out if Rutherfordium is right,

0:23:490:23:51

let's see how many people said it.

0:23:510:23:52

It is right. That was a risk worth taking,

0:23:540:23:57

and it gets you through, unsurprisingly.

0:23:570:24:00

Rutherfordium...

0:24:000:24:01

Ooh! Stopping off at 3. Look at that.

0:24:010:24:03

Very well done indeed. Taking your total up to 5.

0:24:030:24:06

-Very well done.

-Terrific answer, Liam.

0:24:060:24:08

Very well played. And you can see as well,

0:24:080:24:10

you knew for a fact that it was one, but when you're under those lights,

0:24:100:24:13

suddenly you can't trust anything.

0:24:130:24:15

Named after Greg Rutherford, the long jumper.

0:24:150:24:18

LAUGHTER

0:24:180:24:19

Thank you very much indeed. Now, Stuart.

0:24:190:24:22

There you are on 3. 51 or less get you through.

0:24:220:24:26

How are you on chemistry, generally?

0:24:260:24:29

I didn't do it at school. I was more of a physics kind of guy at school.

0:24:290:24:32

More of a... More of a tachograph kind of guy.

0:24:320:24:35

That was me. What would you like to go for?

0:24:350:24:38

Well, I'm using the school of thought

0:24:380:24:40

of previous Pointless episodes.

0:24:400:24:42

-That's how I do it.

-Rutherfordium was one I had in mind, however,

0:24:420:24:44

-I am going to go for Californium.

-Californium. Exactly.

0:24:440:24:47

All of this learned from Pointless.

0:24:470:24:49

I've got one as well, actually, up my sleeve. Learnt from Pointless.

0:24:490:24:52

-Up your sleeve?

-Yeah, literally.

0:24:520:24:53

-If it's a new one...

-Oh, hello, hello, hello!

0:24:530:24:56

-Alexandrium.

-Mm!

0:24:560:24:58

Californium. There is your red line.

0:24:580:25:00

If you can get below that, you're through to the next round.

0:25:000:25:02

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Californium.

0:25:020:25:05

There you are, you're through.

0:25:110:25:13

Look at that, 4. Lovely low-scoring.

0:25:150:25:17

Very well done indeed. Taking your total up to 7.

0:25:170:25:20

Another terrific answer, yeah.

0:25:200:25:21

And that sounds like it should have been named after California,

0:25:210:25:24

but it wasn't. Do you know what it was named after?

0:25:240:25:26

No.

0:25:260:25:28

No, it was named after California.

0:25:280:25:30

-That would be crazy otherwise.

-Oh, it would be.

0:25:300:25:32

-What is your answer?

-Mine is my new favourite.

0:25:320:25:34

Literally, I've remembered it since the last time we played.

0:25:340:25:37

-Protactinium.

-Protactinium.

0:25:370:25:40

-It's a pointless answer.

-Get in!

-Well done.

-How about that?

0:25:420:25:44

How about that?

0:25:440:25:46

You can be very proud of yourself.

0:25:490:25:50

Shall we have a look at the other pointless answers?

0:25:500:25:53

-I think we should.

-Again, some of these will be familiar to you.

0:25:530:25:56

Pointless answer, well done if you said any of these.

0:26:000:26:03

There's Protactinium.

0:26:050:26:06

-There it is.

-Well done.

-Yeah.

0:26:060:26:07

Those are all be pointless answers. Let's take a look at the top three.

0:26:100:26:13

The ones most of our 100 people said.

0:26:130:26:15

Here are the biggest answers.

0:26:150:26:17

Iron, the third biggest answer with 33.

0:26:170:26:20

Then carbon, 34.

0:26:200:26:22

And oxygen, 48.

0:26:220:26:24

There we are. Thank you very much, Richard.

0:26:240:26:26

So, we are at the end of our second round

0:26:260:26:28

and that means they have to say goodbye to another pair,

0:26:280:26:30

and I'm afraid to say, Joel and Iris, it is you. I'm sorry.

0:26:300:26:33

The periodic table did not smile kindly upon you this round,

0:26:330:26:36

but we will see you again next time.

0:26:360:26:38

-And I hope we'll have more art based questions for you, Iris.

-Yes.

0:26:380:26:41

But meantime, thanks very much for playing, Joel and Iris.

0:26:410:26:43

Lovely contestants. APPLAUSE

0:26:430:26:47

But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:26:470:26:50

Congratulations, Francesca and Liam, David and Stuart,

0:26:550:26:58

you are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play

0:26:580:27:01

for our jackpot, which currently stands at £1,000.

0:27:010:27:04

Well, here it is, the head-to-head round.

0:27:040:27:06

Very well done. You've got this far.

0:27:060:27:08

It means you're allowed now to confer before you give your answers

0:27:080:27:11

and, in this round, the first pair to win two questions

0:27:110:27:14

will be playing for that jackpot. Now, sometimes it can happen,

0:27:140:27:16

that people get through to the head-to-head round

0:27:160:27:18

just by dint of having been the two least-bad pairs.

0:27:180:27:22

You know what I'm saying. This time round,

0:27:220:27:25

you are most definitely the two best pairs. You have played so well.

0:27:250:27:28

We've had incredible low scores.

0:27:280:27:29

Very well done indeed.

0:27:290:27:32

You've been here before, David and Stuart. Francesca and Liam, though,

0:27:320:27:35

came from being our exitors at Round Two last time to our golden couple.

0:27:350:27:40

So, very, very well done. This will be close, I think.

0:27:400:27:42

Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.

0:27:420:27:45

And here is your first question.

0:27:510:27:53

And it is all about...

0:27:530:27:54

-Richard.

-We are going to show you five pictures now of the casts

0:27:580:28:01

of various medical TV shows. Can you name the shows, please?

0:28:010:28:04

OK, let's reveal our casts of medical TV shows,

0:28:040:28:07

and here they come. We've got...

0:28:070:28:09

There we go.

0:28:400:28:41

Five casts of medical TV shows.

0:28:410:28:43

Francesca and Liam, you are our low scorers, so you will go first.

0:28:430:28:48

-WHISPERING:

-D's Nurse Jackie.

-Yeah, D.

0:28:480:28:50

We're going to go D - Nurse Jackie.

0:28:520:28:55

Nurse Jackie, say Francesca and Liam for D.

0:28:550:28:58

Nurse Jackie. Now, David and Stuart, the board is yours.

0:28:580:29:01

-Talk us through it.

-Well, that's the one that I don't think we knew.

0:29:010:29:05

-We didn't know that.

-We've got...

0:29:050:29:07

A is Scrubs.

0:29:070:29:09

And I think E is MASH.

0:29:090:29:11

B is Casualty and C is ER.

0:29:110:29:13

We'll go for A - Scrubs.

0:29:140:29:16

OK, A - Scrubs.

0:29:160:29:18

So, we have a Nurse Jackie and we have Scrubs.

0:29:180:29:20

Francesca and Liam said Nurse Jackie for D. Let's see if that's right,

0:29:200:29:23

let's see how many people said it.

0:29:230:29:25

It's right.

0:29:270:29:28

That's a good answer. Look at that. 6 for Nurse Jackie.

0:29:340:29:37

Very strong answer there.

0:29:400:29:42

Yes, David and Stuart, you might struggle to beat that,

0:29:420:29:44

but let's see. You have said Scrubs for A.

0:29:440:29:48

Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:29:480:29:51

22.

0:30:000:30:01

Not bad, but Nurse Jackie was going to be tough to beat there

0:30:030:30:05

and well done, Francesca and Liam. After one question, you are up 1-0.

0:30:050:30:09

Yeah, Xander said there'd been some low-scoring

0:30:090:30:11

and those were the two best scores on the board,

0:30:110:30:13

so well played, both teams, there. Couldn't have beaten Nurse Jackie.

0:30:130:30:16

Casualty there would have scored you 62 points.

0:30:160:30:19

ER...

0:30:230:30:25

with George Clooney in the middle there, would have scored you 28.

0:30:250:30:29

And MASH was even bigger then Casualty,

0:30:290:30:32

63 points for MASH.

0:30:320:30:33

Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So, here comes your second question.

0:30:350:30:38

David and Stuart, and you get to answer it first,

0:30:380:30:40

but you have to win it to stay in the game, remember.

0:30:400:30:42

So, best of luck. Our second question is all about...

0:30:420:30:46

-Richard.

-Yeah, simply five clues now to fact about Vivian Westwood.

0:30:490:30:52

-Can you give us the most obscure answer?

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:30:520:30:55

Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.

0:30:550:30:58

We have got...

0:30:590:31:00

Let me read all of those again.

0:31:230:31:25

David and Stuart will go first.

0:31:450:31:46

Well, we know three of them.

0:31:480:31:50

It's just, I guess, trying to work out what we think

0:31:510:31:53

is going to be the... Let's go with the punk band?

0:31:530:31:55

We think the punk band is the Sex Pistols.

0:31:550:31:58

The Sex Pistols, say David and Stuart.

0:31:580:32:00

So, Francesca and Liam, it's over to you.

0:32:000:32:03

Do you want to fill in all those missing blanks?

0:32:030:32:05

We'd love to, but we can't.

0:32:050:32:07

-There's only the one that we know.

-We know the obvious one.

0:32:070:32:10

And the Happy singer who wore an oversized Westwood hat

0:32:100:32:13

is Pharrell Williams.

0:32:130:32:14

-Is that the one you're going to go for?

-Yes.

-OK, Pharrell Williams.

0:32:140:32:17

So, we have the Sex Pistols and Pharrell Williams.

0:32:170:32:20

David and Stuart went for the Sex Pistols.

0:32:200:32:21

Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.

0:32:210:32:23

That's a good, solid answer.

0:32:320:32:33

29 for the Sex Pistols.

0:32:330:32:35

Meanwhile, Francesca and Liam have gone for Pharrell Williams.

0:32:370:32:41

The Happy singer.

0:32:410:32:42

Let's see how many of our 100 people got Pharrell Williams.

0:32:420:32:45

There we are, it's right.

0:32:490:32:50

-Wow.

-Yes!

-Wow!

0:32:530:32:55

16. That's a turn up, isn't it?

0:32:550:32:59

Pharrell Williams beating the Sex Pistols there.

0:32:590:33:01

Which means, very well done indeed, Francesca and Liam,

0:33:010:33:04

after only two questions, you are straight through to the final, 2-0.

0:33:040:33:07

Very nicely played. Shall we fill in this board?

0:33:070:33:09

Do you know the London Street?

0:33:090:33:10

-Carnaby Street.

-Not Carnaby Street.

0:33:100:33:12

-Vivienne Westwood. Kings Road.

-Ah.

0:33:120:33:14

Kings Road. Would have scored you 3 points.

0:33:140:33:16

The politician... You can probably take a guess at this.

0:33:160:33:18

-Mrs Thatcher.

-Yeah, Margaret Thatcher.

0:33:180:33:20

Would have scored 20. And the musician, band manager...

0:33:200:33:23

-Malcolm McLaren.

-Malcolm McLaren. Yeah. That would have scored you 15.

0:33:230:33:27

Actually, maybe it was McLaren's shop that was on Carnaby Street.

0:33:270:33:29

He had a shop. Someone had a shop!

0:33:290:33:32

SOMEONE definitely... Some people in the '70s had shops.

0:33:320:33:34

There were definitely shops. Hold on, let me have a look.

0:33:340:33:38

Yeah, there are definitely shops on Carnaby Street, yeah.

0:33:380:33:40

There we are, good. Phew. Thank you very much indeed.

0:33:400:33:43

So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,

0:33:430:33:46

David and Stuart, I'm so sorry.

0:33:460:33:47

Twice now, you've been through to the head-to-head.

0:33:470:33:49

Twice now, you've played

0:33:490:33:50

exceptionally well throughout the show.

0:33:500:33:52

Twice now, there's nothing wrong with your answers.

0:33:520:33:54

You've just been beaten by lower scores.

0:33:540:33:56

I mean, that's kind of the rules, isn't it? But there we are. Still,

0:33:560:33:59

I'm sorry that we didn't get to see you in the final,

0:33:590:34:01

but it's been great having you on the show.

0:34:010:34:03

-Thank you so much for playing, David and Stuart.

-Thank you.

0:34:030:34:05

APPLAUSE

0:34:050:34:07

But for Francesca and Liam, it is now time for our Pointless final.

0:34:080:34:11

Congratulations, Francesca and Liam,

0:34:150:34:17

you have seen off all the competition

0:34:170:34:19

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:34:190:34:22

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

0:34:270:34:30

And the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,000.

0:34:300:34:33

Well, we could be on our way to equalling our previous record

0:34:330:34:36

of six consecutive giveaways of the jackpot,

0:34:360:34:39

but let's just think about what you've done today.

0:34:390:34:41

Fantastic. You've been our lowest scorers in Round One,

0:34:410:34:44

lowest scorers in Round Two, 2-0 in the head-to-head,

0:34:440:34:46

through to the final and we haven't even done comic books.

0:34:460:34:50

-No.

-It sounds great when you say it that way.

0:34:500:34:51

Say it again, just run through that again. It's great.

0:34:510:34:54

Now, as always, you get to choose your category in this round.

0:34:540:34:57

Four things will appear on the board behind me

0:34:570:34:59

and you just have to hope that there's something up there

0:34:590:35:02

that you don't mind. Something that looks enticing.

0:35:020:35:04

You know what they sometimes can look like,

0:35:040:35:06

but there's usually a nicer sub set of questions behind each one,

0:35:060:35:09

so don't worry too much.

0:35:090:35:10

Today's selection looks like this.

0:35:100:35:13

We've got...

0:35:140:35:15

Actually, do panic. Yes.

0:35:230:35:25

-What do you want to go for?

-Historical Fiction looks good.

0:35:250:35:28

I think I could give European Actresses a good shout.

0:35:280:35:31

Train Stations, no. I think we should just ignore that one.

0:35:310:35:33

-And Sport. No, just throw that out.

-Yeah.

-Straight away.

-Yeah.

0:35:330:35:36

-It's a nonstarter.

-I think we could both give the second one a go.

0:35:360:35:39

You would be on your own with the first one.

0:35:390:35:41

OK. European Actresses it is.

0:35:410:35:43

Yeah? We'll give European Actresses a go.

0:35:430:35:46

OK, give them a go.

0:35:460:35:48

-Richard.

-OK, very, very best of luck.

0:35:480:35:50

We've had five jackpot wins in a row, six would equal our record.

0:35:500:35:53

Fingers crossed you do it. These are the three questions

0:35:530:35:56

we are asking you...

0:35:560:35:57

We're looking for any feature film made for cinema release

0:35:570:36:00

for which Penelope Cruz has received an acting credit.

0:36:000:36:03

For which Monica Bellucci has received an acting credit.

0:36:030:36:05

Or for which Marion Cotillard has received an acting credit.

0:36:050:36:09

So, according to IMDB, any feature film made for cinema release

0:36:090:36:11

starring any one of those three.

0:36:110:36:13

Very, very best of luck.

0:36:130:36:15

OK, now, as always, you've got up to one minutes

0:36:150:36:17

to come up with three answers and all you need to win that jackpot

0:36:170:36:20

is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:36:200:36:22

I'll remind you now, you don't have to answer all three of those

0:36:220:36:24

categories, you can focus on whichever ones you like

0:36:240:36:26

for your three answers. Are you ready?

0:36:260:36:29

-Yeah.

-OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

0:36:290:36:32

There they are. Your time starts now.

0:36:320:36:34

Penelope Cruz... Sahara.

0:36:340:36:36

-Vanilla Sky.

-Vanilla Sky.

0:36:360:36:38

She was in all those Pedro Almodovar films as well.

0:36:380:36:40

So, Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down.

0:36:400:36:42

-Yeah, that one. Marion Cotar...

-Cotillard.

0:36:420:36:44

She was in Dark Knight Rises, but then that was a big film.

0:36:440:36:46

But would people remember her name from it?

0:36:460:36:48

Monica Bellucci was in the Matrix, wasn't she?

0:36:480:36:51

Reloaded. Reloaded she was in.

0:36:510:36:53

And Monica Bellucci...

0:36:530:36:54

She was in Spectre, but stay far away from that, it's too recent.

0:36:540:36:58

-OK.

-But I would definitely say Penelope Cruz is a good,

0:36:580:37:01

good shout even for... What was the first one I said? Sahara.

0:37:010:37:04

Even that's a good shout. Penelope Cruz...

0:37:040:37:07

Vanilla Sky. And what's the...? Is it definitely the one you said?

0:37:070:37:10

-Lock Me Up, Tie Me...

-Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down.

0:37:100:37:12

That's the only one I really remember.

0:37:120:37:14

-Yeah.

-We can put in in there.

-Definitely, definitely...

0:37:140:37:16

I definitely think Marion Cotillard, she was in Chocolat.

0:37:160:37:19

-Was she?

-No. That wasn't. That was Juliette Binoche.

0:37:190:37:22

-That's the one.

-Ten seconds left.

0:37:220:37:24

I think we should stick with Penelope Cruz, actually.

0:37:240:37:26

-I think.

-We can go for both of them.

0:37:260:37:28

We can say Penelope Cruz and Monica Bellucci.

0:37:280:37:30

Yeah, do you want to go with Matrix Reloaded for her?

0:37:300:37:32

-Yeah. Let's give it a go.

-Yeah. Yeah. OK, cool.

0:37:320:37:34

OK, sounds like you've arrived at your three answers

0:37:340:37:37

-just as your minute runs out.

-Yeah.

-Let's have those answers, then.

0:37:370:37:39

OK, so, for Penelope Cruz, we will go Vanilla Sky and...

0:37:390:37:42

-What was the one?

-Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down.

0:37:420:37:44

-Try that?

-Yeah. Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down.

0:37:440:37:45

Vanilla Sky. Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down.

0:37:450:37:47

-And then what was the...?

-Matrix Reloaded.

0:37:470:37:49

-Matrix Reloaded for Monica Bellucci.

-And The Matrix Reloaded.

0:37:490:37:52

OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:37:520:37:55

-Monica Bellucci.

-Matrix.

-Yeah, Monica Bellucci on the fact

0:37:550:37:58

that she's not maybe as well-known as the other two.

0:37:580:38:00

OK, so we go for The Matrix Reloaded.

0:38:000:38:01

Yeah. I think Vanilla Sky at the top.

0:38:010:38:05

Now, Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down, because I'm not sure about that.

0:38:050:38:07

OK, so, the first one will be Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down,

0:38:070:38:09

second one will be... Vanilla Sky.

0:38:090:38:12

-Vanilla Sky, yeah.

-And then The Matrix Reloaded.

0:38:120:38:14

OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order then,

0:38:140:38:17

and here they are. We've got...

0:38:170:38:20

Very, very best of luck.

0:38:240:38:26

Three good answers there.

0:38:270:38:29

Now, if one of these turns out to be pointless, and why wouldn't it?

0:38:290:38:32

You will win £1,000.

0:38:320:38:34

You'd be the sixth pair, consecutively, to win the jackpot.

0:38:340:38:37

What would you like to do with that, with that money?

0:38:370:38:40

I would put it towards a new car. I really need one.

0:38:400:38:43

-Very good. Liam?

-Well, it's my 30th in a bit,

0:38:430:38:48

and I would put it towards a Vegas trip, I think.

0:38:480:38:50

-Very good.

-So, yeah.

0:38:500:38:52

-Very good.

-That would be great.

-Well, very, very best of luck.

0:38:520:38:55

As I say, three good-looking answers there.

0:38:550:38:57

Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down was your first answer and, in this case,

0:38:570:38:59

we were looking for Penelope Cruz films.

0:38:590:39:01

This was the one you thought was probably least likely

0:39:010:39:03

to be pointless. You weren't entirely sure if it was right.

0:39:030:39:05

If it is right and if it is pointless, it wins you £1,000.

0:39:050:39:08

How many people said Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down?

0:39:080:39:10

Ooh!

0:39:130:39:15

Bad luck. I'm afraid an incorrect answer,

0:39:150:39:18

which means move onto your next answer which is Vanilla Sky.

0:39:180:39:22

In this case, again, we were looking for Penelope Cruz films.

0:39:230:39:25

If this is right and it is pointless, it will win you £1,000.

0:39:250:39:28

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Vanilla Sky.

0:39:280:39:30

It is right. Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down, your first answer, was incorrect.

0:39:340:39:38

Vanilla Sky absolutely on the money.

0:39:380:39:40

Down it goes, through the 30s, into the 20s,

0:39:400:39:43

into the teens, down we go. Still going down.

0:39:430:39:45

10. We stop at 10.

0:39:450:39:47

APPLAUSE

0:39:470:39:48

That's a lovely low score. Sadly not a pointless answer, though,

0:39:520:39:55

so we have to move onto your third and final answer,

0:39:550:39:57

which was The Matrix Reloaded.

0:39:570:39:59

Now, in this case, we were looking for Monica Bellucci films.

0:39:590:40:02

This was the one that you thought was probably your best shot

0:40:020:40:04

at a pointless answer. You put it first for that reason.

0:40:040:40:06

If it is pointless, it wins you £1,000.

0:40:060:40:08

Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Matrix Reloaded.

0:40:080:40:12

Is it pointless?

0:40:120:40:13

It's right. Your first answer was incorrect, your second answer,

0:40:180:40:22

Vanilla Sky, took us down to 10.

0:40:220:40:24

Your third and final answer now takes us down through the teens,

0:40:240:40:27

we've passed 10. Into single figures, down it goes,

0:40:270:40:29

still going down...

0:40:290:40:30

I'm afraid we stop at 2.

0:40:300:40:32

Ah, not bad, not bad.

0:40:340:40:36

Not bad at all. That's a fabulous low score there,

0:40:360:40:39

but I'm afraid you didn't manage to find

0:40:390:40:41

that all-important pointless answer,

0:40:410:40:43

so I'm afraid you don't become our sixth consecutive jackpot winners.

0:40:430:40:47

That jackpot of £1,000 will rollover onto the next show,

0:40:470:40:50

but what a strong performance.

0:40:500:40:52

Amazingly strong right the way across the show.

0:40:520:40:54

2-0 in the head-to-head, no arguing with that.

0:40:540:40:57

And you get to take home a Pointless trophy each, so very,

0:40:570:40:59

very well done indeed. Thank you so much, Francesca and Liam.

0:40:590:41:02

APPLAUSE

0:41:020:41:04

That was very, very unlucky. Been a terrific partnership

0:41:070:41:09

all the way through and you clearly know your films as well.

0:41:090:41:12

We'll take you through the three answers and why you were unlucky.

0:41:120:41:14

You went for Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down,

0:41:140:41:17

because you said she's in lots of Almodovar films.

0:41:170:41:19

She absolutely is, she's just not in that one.

0:41:190:41:21

She's in Volver, which would have scored you 1.

0:41:210:41:23

All About My Mother was a pointless answer.

0:41:230:41:25

Broken Embrace was a pointless answer as well.

0:41:250:41:27

So, lots of Almodovar pointless answers out there.

0:41:270:41:29

You went for Matrix Reloaded.

0:41:290:41:31

Matrix Revolutions was a pointless answer, she was in that as well.

0:41:310:41:35

-I didn't think she was in it.

-Yeah, she is indeed, I'm afraid.

0:41:350:41:37

And you went for Vanilla Sky, but you were going to go for Sahara.

0:41:370:41:41

-And Sahara was a pointless answer as well.

-Ah, no!

0:41:410:41:44

Let's take a look at the Penelope Cruz films that were pointless.

0:41:440:41:49

Lots of answers here.

0:41:490:41:50

Vicky Cristina Barcelona, The Woody Allen film.

0:41:530:41:56

Lots of pointless answers there.

0:41:560:41:57

Everything apart from Vanilla Sky, Blow, Captain Correlli's Mandolin,

0:41:570:42:00

Volver, Noel and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

0:42:000:42:03

Everything else was pointless for her.

0:42:030:42:05

Move on to Monica Bellucci.

0:42:050:42:07

Everything there apart from Spectre, Matrix Reloaded,

0:42:130:42:16

Irreversible and L'Appartement.

0:42:160:42:18

Everything else was a pointless answer.

0:42:180:42:19

Now, Marion Cotillard.

0:42:190:42:21

La Vie En Rose was pointless for Marion Cotillard. Also...

0:42:210:42:25

Everything for her apart from Macbeth,

0:42:300:42:32

Inception and the Dark Knight Rises. Everything else a pointless answer.

0:42:320:42:36

Very well done if you got one at home.

0:42:360:42:38

-That's really unlucky, isn't it?

-Really unlucky.

0:42:380:42:40

Oh, I knew you should have gone for Sahara!

0:42:400:42:42

I just felt it in my bones.

0:42:420:42:43

I'm so sorry, though. You came so close,

0:42:430:42:45

but what an astonishing display across the show.

0:42:450:42:49

You've done very, very well. Sadly, though,

0:42:490:42:51

Francesca and Liam didn't win our jackpot today,

0:42:510:42:53

which means it rolls over on to the next show

0:42:530:42:55

when we will be playing for £2,000. There it is.

0:42:550:42:58

Join us next time to see if someone can win it.

0:43:000:43:02

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...

-Goodbye.

0:43:020:43:05

And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
