0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27This is the show where all the questions have been asked
0:00:27 > 0:00:28to 100 people before the show.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31All our contestants have to do is come up with the answers
0:00:31 > 0:00:33no-one else could think of. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34APPLAUSE
0:00:37 > 0:00:38And couple number one.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Hi, I'm Dani.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42This is my boyfriend Alex, and we've both come from York today.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Robbie and this is Mervyn.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48We're friends from school and we're both from London.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Couple number three.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Michael. This is Julie.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52We're brother and sister, and we're from Belfast.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54And finally, couple number four.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Tracey. This is my friend Bev, and we're from Sheffield.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01APPLAUSE
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Thanks very much, all of you. A warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Great to have you here. We'll get to chat to each of you
0:01:06 > 0:01:08throughout the show as it goes along, of course.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10That just leaves one more person for me to introduce today.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Today, we'll be hoggin' his considerable noggin.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14LAUGHTER It's my Pointless friend,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- it's Richard.- Hiya. - APPLAUSE
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Hey, everybody.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Good afternoon.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Good afternoon to you, sir.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Good afternoon.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Now, Robbie and Mervyn join us again from the last show.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- Yes.- Got through to the head-to-head and were very, very smart as well.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Going to be difficult to beat, I suspect, on today's show.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Dani and Alex got knocked out in round one last time,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34very unfortunately though, as well.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36So we've got two good, strong returning pairs.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Welcome to our newcomers, as well.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Should be a cracker, I think.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Very good. I think so.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42I think so. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Now, Rosie and Paul didn't win the jackpot last time
0:01:45 > 0:01:47which means we add another £1,000 to that.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48So today's jackpot starts off...
0:01:49 > 0:01:50..at £3,000.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51APPLAUSE
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56APPLAUSE
0:02:00 > 0:02:01APPLAUSE
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Just remember this, the pair with the highest score
0:02:04 > 0:02:05at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07So keep your scores nice and low.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:16 > 0:02:18who's going to go second?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:30 > 0:02:32A quick round. Richard?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35We're going to give you seven clues now to famous people,
0:02:35 > 0:02:39all of whose first names and surnames are just one syllable each.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Can you tell us who they are, please?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- That's quite fun, isn't it? - I envy those people.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Oh, you've got a lot! Alexander is four.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48That's four syllables. It must take so long to say.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51There was an Arsenal striker, his surname was nine letters long,
0:02:51 > 0:02:52but had five syllables.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54He was Aliadiere.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55He was Jeremie Aliadiere.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57That's a drum break. Ta-ca-ta-ca-tish!
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Yeah, that's quite cool.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Imagine having five syllables in nine letters!
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- That's fabulous efficiency. - That's amazing, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Very good, indeed. OK, so we are looking for people with short names
0:03:06 > 0:03:09described by these clues. Here is our first board of seven.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39I'm going to read those again.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Dani, welcome back to Pointless.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Now, this time, back with purpose, I think.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11- Yes.- You were on the fourth podium last time.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13It's nice to have you nearer, I have to say.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15This time I hope you'll be with us for much, much longer.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Dani, remind us what you do.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21So I work as a senior administrator in the higher education sector.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23That's right. And what do you love getting up to
0:04:23 > 0:04:25when you have time on your hands, Dani?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27So, we have four cats between us.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Obviously, they take up a lot of our time.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Did you get them all as one?
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- We didn't, no.- No.- Two old ones, two very young ones.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36I see. And where have they come from? Who knows?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Exactly, all adopted.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39Did they adopt you?
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Well, one of them did, yes.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42See, that's nice. I always like it when that happens.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Now, Dani, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I think I know five or six up there.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Just trying to work out which one would be the lowest one.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I think I will go with the model, actress and singer
0:04:54 > 0:04:56who had several chart hits including Slave To The Rhythm,
0:04:56 > 0:04:58as Grace Jones.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Grace Jones, says Dani.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Let's see if that's right.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Let's see how many of our 100 people said Grace Jones.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06It's right.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Good answer, Dani. Very well done. 30.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13APPLAUSE Off to a rollicking start.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Yeah, appeared at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Famously she performed Slave To The Rhythm and hula-hooped throughout...
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- which is quite impressive. - That's amazing.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Good core strength, there.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Really good core strength. I noticed you didn't...
0:05:26 > 0:05:29When you sung for the Queen, I've never seen you hula-hoop.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30- No, no.- You should do. - LAUGHTER
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Thanks very much, Richard.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Mervyn, welcome back to Pointless.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Great to have you here.- Thanks. - What a performance last time.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Very, very strong indeed. Remind us what you do, Mervyn.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40I'm a clinical research associate.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43I see. Now, we discussed this last time...
0:05:43 > 0:05:44We did, indeed.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48You're basically making sure all the right safeguards are in place...
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- Is that right?- Yeah, that's right.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Yeah. And, Mervyn, what are your interests?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56I like cooking, and also into sports as well.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57So mainly football and basketball.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Let's just think about this cooking.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01What area of cooking do you particularly like?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Is there a thing that you consider to be your absolute...
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- ..number one?- Favourite cuisines are probably Japanese or French.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11In terms of having a signature dish, it's eggs Benedict.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Ah!- If you say you like cooking, you have to have a signature dish.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- There you are.- That's mine. - You make a good hollandaise?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Yes, that's it, that's what it comes down to.- Not easy. Not easy to do.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Now, Mervyn, what would you like to go for?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23We've got one good score here already, 30. Think you can beat it?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25It's quite a tough board for me.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26There's quite a few I don't know.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Out of those that I do...
0:06:28 > 0:06:31I'm going to go for NP as the Wallace and Gromit creator,
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- is Nick Park. - Nick Park, says Mervyn.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Let's see how many of our 100 people said Nick Park.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Ooh, you beat 30! Look at that, 28!
0:06:46 > 0:06:47APPLAUSE
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Very good. 28 for Nick Park.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Yeah, the Wallace and Gromit films inadvertently led to a huge increase
0:06:53 > 0:06:54of sales in Wensleydale cheese.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57That's nice. It was struggling before that.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59There we go. Michael, welcome to Pointless.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00- Hello.- Here from Belfast.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- What do you do, Michael? - I'm a doctor.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03You're a doctor.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05What sort of doctor are you, Michael?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07A hospital doctor, doing medicine at the minute.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10OK, which is what I'd imagine doctors do, isn't it?
0:07:10 > 0:07:11LAUGHTER
0:07:11 > 0:07:13But I see what you mean. I take your point.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Do you get any time off AT ALL?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Sometimes, yeah.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I enjoy to get in hobbies when I can.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21OK, what are your hobbies?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- What do you like to get up to? - I like sport.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25I like playing, watching football when I can.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27I play a bit of golf as well.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Very good, indeed.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31OK, how are you feeling about our short-named people?
0:07:31 > 0:07:32I know a few.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36I think I'll go for the singer who had three number ones,
0:07:36 > 0:07:37and I think that's Jess Glynne.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Jess Glynne, says Michael.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jess Glynne.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46It's right.
0:07:46 > 0:07:4730 is our highest score.
0:07:47 > 0:07:4928 is our low score.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51You pass both of them.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Look at that! 13 with Jess Glynne.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54APPLAUSE Very well done, indeed, Michael.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Yeah, only the second ever British female solo singer
0:08:00 > 0:08:03to have five number one singles.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06The second ever, after Cheryl Fernandez-Versini.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- She was the first.- There you are.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Yeah.- Thank you. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Now, Tracey, welcome to Pointless.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14- Here from Sheffield.- Yes.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16What do you do in Sheffield, Tracey?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I'm a claims assessor, in a legal firm.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20And what are your interests?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I like to go to concerts quite a lot and...
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Plenty of good concerts in Sheffield!
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Yeah. And I also read for Sheffield Talking News.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Oh, that's good. That's fun. How often do you go and do that?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33It's on a rota. It's just once a month, once every two months.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36And you have a sort of news digest that you go in and record?
0:08:36 > 0:08:37The week's news, that's right.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40And we go into a studio and record,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42you know, highlights of the news,
0:08:42 > 0:08:45and they get sent out to the partially sighted or blind.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47How long does it take you to get it done?
0:08:47 > 0:08:48- About two hours.- OK, that's good.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- A nice way of keeping up to speed with everything as well.- It is.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Very good, very well informed.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Now, Tracey, you're the last person to have this board.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- OK.- If you wanted to go through it and fill in all our blanks...
0:08:57 > 0:08:58I'll do my best!
0:08:58 > 0:08:59- Do your best, yeah.- OK.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Top one is Glenn Close.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04I want to say the badminton player, if it is a woman,
0:09:04 > 0:09:08maybe something like Gill Elks, or something.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09I don't know. I think...
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Gill Elks?! - I know! That's not right, is it?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14No, no, I was just wondering. Did you make that up?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- Yeah, I made it up. - It's just a brilliant made up name!
0:09:16 > 0:09:18I think Leicester...
0:09:18 > 0:09:21I'm just trying to get a politician with those initials,
0:09:21 > 0:09:22and there's Keith Vaz.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25So I may take a punt on that one.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27And then Mark Twain.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29It's whether I take a punt or not, or I play safe...
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- You know what I'm going to say, Tracey.- I'm going to take a punt.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34I'm going to say Keith Vaz.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Keith Vaz, says Tracy.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Let's see how many of our 100 people said Keith Vaz.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43It is absolutely Keith Vaz.
0:09:43 > 0:09:4513 is our low score.
0:09:45 > 0:09:4630, our high.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47You pass the high score,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49and you stop off at 16.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51APPLAUSE Very well done, indeed.
0:09:51 > 0:09:5216 for Keith Vaz.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Yeah, and his sister Valerie is also an MP.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- Val Vaz.- Val Vaz, yeah.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- 16 points.- Now, you're right about Mark Twain.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04You did well to avoid him, though, he's a bigger scorer.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Would have scored you 47.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07The actress is Glenn Close.
0:10:09 > 0:10:1050 points for that.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Now, it's not Gill Elks,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14but I do work with her sometimes and I shall tell her you said that.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17It's not a million miles away, it's Gail Emms.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Gail Emms.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20And would have scored you seven points.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Halfway through the round.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Let's look at those scores. 13, Michael. Well done.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27That is the best score of that pass.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Michael and Julie looking very strong at this point.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Then up to 16, where we find Tracey and Beverley.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Then up to 28, where we find Mervyn and Robbie,
0:10:34 > 0:10:35and 30, Dani and Alex.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Quite a nice grouping there. Nice and close.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40But, Alex, yes, you're out in front.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42We shall not send you away in this round.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43It cannot happen again.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45You MUST get a low score.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46- Fingers crossed.- Exactly.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:53 > 0:10:57OK, let's put seven more short-name clues up on the board.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58And here they come.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00We have got...
0:11:25 > 0:11:27I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54There we are. Beverley, welcome to Pointless.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Good to have you here, Beverley.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00- What do you do?- I'm a family support worker for a local council.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- I work with families.- Very good.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- How long have you been doing that for?- About four years now.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06- Do you enjoy it?- I love it, yeah.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08It's quite hands-on, I imagine.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Yeah.- You have to get in there and...
0:12:10 > 0:12:12help people! I suppose it has its rewards.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- It does. It's very rewarding. I love it.- Very good.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16What do you like doing to relax?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18When I get home from work, I like to take my dog a walk.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21I've got a little dog, but he's quite a strong little dog.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23He likes to go on long walks. So it's very nice.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Oh, you're right in the Peaks, aren't you?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Yeah.- Right on the edge of it. Beautiful.- Good, challenging walks.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Very nice. Oh, you go for a proper long walk, do you?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Yeah.- Good stuff. Now, you're on 16.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Lovely low score from Tracey in the first round,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37which means if you can score 13 or less,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40you're straight through to the next round.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41- What are the chances?- Well...
0:12:41 > 0:12:44I did ask Tracey to go first because I was a bit scared,
0:12:44 > 0:12:45but I knew four answers,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48but unfortunately I don't know any of these.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Chief athletics commentator,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54and former Olympic silver medallist...
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Seb Coe?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Seb Coe says Beverley.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Here is your red line.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01If you can get below that with Seb Coe,
0:13:01 > 0:13:02you are through to the next round.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Is it right? How many people said it, if it is?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Oh! That's so unfair, cos it fits, the letters fit!
0:13:13 > 0:13:15As you've probably worked out. LAUGHTER
0:13:15 > 0:13:17But I'm afraid it's an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points,
0:13:17 > 0:13:19takes your total up to 116.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Yeah, sorry, Beverley, almost an entirely brilliant wrong answer,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- I'm afraid. - LAUGHTER
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Thank you very much, indeed.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Julie, welcome to Pointless.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30- Hi.- Great to have you here.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31What do you do, Julie?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34I study law with politics at Queens University, Belfast.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- Wow. So how long have you been doing that for?- Just one year.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- Just one year. Enjoying it?- Yeah!
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Very good indeed. Do you think you'll go on into law afterwards?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44I think so, yeah. At the start of last month,
0:13:44 > 0:13:46I had an internship in a law firm in London
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- and I really, really enjoyed it, so...- Excellent.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Hopefully I'll go into commercial law or something like that.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Very good, indeed. Now, Julie,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55you are through to the next round, which is fantastic.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56A great achievement on Michael's part,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59and a helping hand from Beverley, there.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01But, yes, it doesn't matter what you score,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03but I have a feeling you'll have a good answer here.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I know two on the board. I think the rest of them I don't have a clue.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09And I'm not sure how low this is going to be,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12but I think the actress who plays Carrie Mathison in Homeland
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- is Claire Danes. - Claire Danes says Julie.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16No red line for you because you're already through.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Let's see how many of our 100 people said Claire Danes.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22It's right.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Oh, that's a great answer. Look at that, 15.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Very well done indeed. 28 is your total.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32APPLAUSE
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Yeah, one of the all-time great Danes, Claire Danes.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40She hosted the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in 2013.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Oh, she got that gig, did she? - Yeah, she did.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Were you expecting to be booked?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Well, you know. Anyway, there you are.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Good for her.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- Now, Robbie.- Hi.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Robbie, yes.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Welcome back. I'm very pleased with your moustache, Robbie.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- Thank you.- Obviously, the moustache has have enjoyed
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- something of a comeback in recent years.- Yes.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03But the sort of moustache that has enjoyed a comeback
0:15:03 > 0:15:05tends to be the rather more showy, sort of...
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- I can't do that. - Well, no, I like that.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10That's a proper... That's a proper moustache.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12This is heartfelt moustache praise, Robbie.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14You are on 28, Robbie.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17You need to score 87 or less, to remain in the game.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I think I know two of them.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22It's just about which one I roll the dice with.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25I'm going to go with the penultimate one on the board,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28which is the BBC chief athletics commentator.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29- That's Steve Cram.- Steve Cram.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Oh, Beverley, I'm sorry. Steve Cram.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33If it's right, who knows?
0:15:33 > 0:15:34Maybe it's not. LAUGHTER
0:15:34 > 0:15:36There is your red line, Robbie.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38If you can get below that with Steve Cram...
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45There we are, Steve Cram.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50Another good answer. 16.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51APPLAUSE Very well done, indeed.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Taking your total up to 44.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Yeah, former world record-holder
0:15:55 > 0:15:58at the 1500m and the mile, Steve Cram. Funnily enough,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00we had exactly the same the other day on a show.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Someone mistook Steve Cram for Seb Coe.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Exactly the same.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Thank you very much, Richard.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07- Alex.- Hello.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Welcome back to Pointless.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Ooh, you were the high scorers halfway through the round.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Beverley's helped you out there as well,
0:16:13 > 0:16:15which has given you a nice margin, 85 or less.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17That takes quite a lot of pressure off.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Remind us what you do, Alex.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I'm an IT systems administrator
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- for a well-known construction and shop-fitting company.- Very good.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27So is it a national shop-fitting and construction company
0:16:27 > 0:16:29or is it very much based in Yorkshire?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32We have one head office, which is where I'm based,
0:16:32 > 0:16:36but we have sites from down south all the way up to north of Scotland.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Do you get sent out to visit the sites at all?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41I've been to a couple.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- Not very regularly but... - Right.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46So the IT is generally based in York, there.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48OK. Now, Alex, this board is all yours.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51If you wanted to go through it and fill in all our blanks,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- you'd be most welcome. - Absolutely not.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55LAUGHTER Oh, really?!
0:16:55 > 0:16:57I fortunately know one left on the board...
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- Phew.- ..which is the bottom one, Dave Grohl.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Dave Grohl for Foo Fighters, says Alex.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Let's see if that's right.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Here's your red line. Nice and high.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07You should get below that with Dave Grohl.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Let's see if you do.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14There we are. Very well done, indeed.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Dave Grohl. 31. APPLAUSE
0:17:20 > 0:17:2161 is your total.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22A nice end to the round.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Yeah, originally the drummer in Nirvana,
0:17:25 > 0:17:27then went on to form his own, extraordinarily successful band.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Now, who starred as Dr John Watson?
0:17:30 > 0:17:31- Jude Law.- Jude Law.
0:17:31 > 0:17:3312 points for that.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36The actress and mistress of King Charles II?
0:17:36 > 0:17:37- Nell Gwyn.- Yeah.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39Would have scored 49.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Do you know this one, the former wife of Andre Agassi?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Brooke Shields? - Brooke Shields, yeah.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Would have scored you 25.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- And?- Bob Hope.- Bob Hope.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Of course, with Bing Crosby.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- That would have scored 45. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54We are at the end of our first round,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57which means we have to say goodbye to one of our pairs.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58And I'm very sorry to say it is
0:17:58 > 0:18:01our Sheffield pair on the far podium we have to say goodbye to.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Tracey and Beverley, it's been lovely having you here.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06We'll see you again next time. I'm sure you'll do much, much better.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Thank you very much for playing. Very well done. Beverley and Tracey.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11APPLAUSE
0:18:11 > 0:18:14But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16APPLAUSE
0:18:19 > 0:18:21And so we are down to three pairs.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Obviously, at the end of this round,
0:18:22 > 0:18:24we will have to say goodbye to another.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26I tell you what's nice, actually,
0:18:26 > 0:18:28is seeing our two returning pairs through to round two,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30because that hasn't been happening a lot lately.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33We've seen a lot of our returning pairs being knocked off early on.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35But very well done, Dani and Alex,
0:18:35 > 0:18:36good to have you in round two,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38and Robbie and Mervyn.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Starting as they mean to continue.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Nice to have you here as well, Michael and Julie.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43I haven't forgotten about you!
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Our category for round two this afternoon is...
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:52 > 0:18:54who's going to go second?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02OK, let's find out what our question is.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:19:10 > 0:19:13..as they could. Countries whose first vowel is "U".
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Yes, we're looking for any country in the world
0:19:16 > 0:19:19whose usual short form name in English has "U" as its first vowel,
0:19:19 > 0:19:21please. As always, by country we mean a sovereign state
0:19:21 > 0:19:23that's a member of the UN in its own right.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Now then, Alex.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Always tough going first.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Had a few that have immediately come to mind.
0:19:34 > 0:19:40I think I'm going to go for classic Pointless favourite of Suriname.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Ah! Suriname, says Alex.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Let's see how many of our 100 people said Suriname.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Look at that! Four!
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Very well done, indeed, Alex.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00And going first, as well.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Very impressive indeed. Four for Suriname.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Suriname toads appear through holes in their mother's back
0:20:06 > 0:20:08rather than through spawning.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10What do you think about that?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13I hope they leap out. LAUGHTER
0:20:13 > 0:20:16I think Suriname would be more famous if that were the case.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18If you've got toads like that,
0:20:18 > 0:20:19people would know about your country.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Imagine! Robin?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24So, I have a few,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27and I think this might be a Pointless classic as well,
0:20:27 > 0:20:28Bhutan.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Bhutan, says Robin. AUDIENCE OOHS
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Oh, you got the "Ooh"!
0:20:32 > 0:20:33LAUGHTER
0:20:33 > 0:20:35I think you probably got one as well,
0:20:35 > 0:20:37but I was so impressed by Suriname I forgot to listen out for it,
0:20:37 > 0:20:41but that... My antennae were very much aware of that.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43The ooh.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Bhutan.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50It's right.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Four is the only score on the board at this point.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Oh, we've gone to four again.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00APPLAUSE Like as you lie.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Four for Bhutan.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03Some very good playing, here.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Well played. The constitution of Bhutan says that
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Bhutan has to be at least 60% forest, at all times.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- I like that constitution. - It's nice, isn't it? Yeah.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Yeah. Good for them.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Mmm. Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Michael.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21OK.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24We've had a few old Pointless friends there.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26There are some more out there.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29There's a few coming to mind, a few classic Pointless answers.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32I think I'm going to go with Burundi.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Ha! Burundi! LAUGHTER
0:21:34 > 0:21:35I haven't seen Burundi for ages!
0:21:35 > 0:21:38You got an "Ooh", you got a laugh. LAUGHTER
0:21:38 > 0:21:41OK, let's see how many of our 100 people went for Burundi.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Four seems to be the score that they're all liking, these countries.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51Six!
0:21:51 > 0:21:52APPLAUSE
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Six for Burundi.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Still a very good answer.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58It's good stuff all around.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Well played. Yeah, landlocked country in East Central Africa,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03although a lot of its border is Lake Tanganyika.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Thank you, Richard. We're halfway through the round,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08a quick look at those scores. Four the best score of the round.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Alex and Dani, Robbie and Mervyn, that is where you are.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Six is a pretty good score as well.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16But, Julie, for some reason that means you are ahead,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18so we're going to need a lower-scoring answer from you.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21So good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line, now.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29OK, so, Julie, remember we are looking for any country in the world
0:22:29 > 0:22:31whose first vowel is "U".
0:22:32 > 0:22:34They're all very low scoring answers.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Aren't they?!- I think I'm going to have to try and keep it up
0:22:37 > 0:22:41and go for something very obscure, and hope it is a country.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42Burkina Faso.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Burkina Faso says Julie.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47That would have been my answer. LAUGHTER
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Yep, very pleased to have that aired.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Now, no red line for you,
0:22:50 > 0:22:53because you're the high scorers up there on six!
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Burkina Faso.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59It's right.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06One!
0:23:06 > 0:23:08CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:23:08 > 0:23:09Very well done indeed!
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Look at that!
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Taking your total up to seven,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15which means you're now averaging 3.5 per answer,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18which is lower than the average. So very well done, indeed.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19You've done huge work there, Julie.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21It's terrific stuff, Julie. Very well played.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22A great round, everybody.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Yeah, used to be known as Upper Volta till 1984,
0:23:25 > 0:23:26Burkina Faso.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Burkina Faso meaning "land of honest men".
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Right, Mervyn, there we are.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33This is becoming a very, very exciting round.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Thank you all for playing it so well.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Mervyn, you are on four.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Ideally, you'd score two or less.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41So, I mean, it's all great answers.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I'm going to have to go for another Pointless favourite in Tuvalu.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Yes, that's the one I was hoping you'd go for!
0:23:46 > 0:23:48LAUGHTER Here comes your red line.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51If you can get below that with Tuvalu, we are home and dry.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Let's see how many of our 100 people said Tuvalu.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57WHISPERS: Hopefully....
0:23:58 > 0:23:59It's right.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Five for Tuvalu!
0:24:06 > 0:24:07APPLAUSE
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Taking your total up to nine.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Oh, I mean, I think our work here is done with Tuvalu, isn't it?
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Five points.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Can you imagine that a few years ago?
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Never!
0:24:19 > 0:24:22They sent their first-ever athletes to the Olympic Games in 2008,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Tuvalu. Two sprinters, and a weightlifter.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26Aww! There we are!
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Thank you, Richard. Dani. Now...
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Pressure.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Pressure...
0:24:31 > 0:24:34but actually, you know, it's now exciting and doable.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Your target is four.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Alex got four, your target is four.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38LAUGHTER
0:24:39 > 0:24:41OK, I've been through quite a few in my head
0:24:41 > 0:24:43and they've slowly but surely been taken up,
0:24:43 > 0:24:46including Alex, who took my first answer.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48But I think I'm going to go with Brunei.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49Brunei.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Brunei, says Dani!
0:24:52 > 0:24:54There we are. Another Pointless classic.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Here is your red line. If you can get below that with Brunei,
0:24:57 > 0:24:59you are through to the next round.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Let's see how many of our 100 people said Brunei.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06It's right.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Come on.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Oh, you've done it. Two for Brunei.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Two for Brunei, taking your total up to six.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Very well done, indeed, Dani and Alex there.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23The lowest total of the round.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Yeah. I mean, amazing.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29An average score of 3.75 in that round between the lot of you.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Terrific stuff. Very, very unlucky to be going home on nine points.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37You know what? Who'd have thought the day when someone's saying Tuvalu
0:25:37 > 0:25:40meant they were getting knocked out because it was too heavy a scorer?
0:25:40 > 0:25:41- LAUGHTER - Too obvious.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44We've been through a lot of low answers. I'm going to take you
0:25:44 > 0:25:47through some other low answers. There was one Pointless answer.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49That is Guinea-Bissau.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51A pointless answer. So very well done if you said that.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Guinea itself would have scored you one point, Kuwait two points.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Guatemala and Guyana both scored two points.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Three for Turkmenistan, four for Cyprus, five for Cuba,
0:26:01 > 0:26:04six for Luxembourg, Bulgaria.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Eight for Sudan, Tunisia and Turkey.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Nine for Hungary. You would have got 14 for United Arab Emirates,
0:26:11 > 0:26:1523 for Ukraine, 23 for the United Kingdom.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17You would have got 25 for Russia,
0:26:17 > 0:26:2126 for Uzbekistan and 38 for the United States.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Thank you very much, Richard. We are at the end of our second round
0:26:23 > 0:26:25which means we have to say goodbye to a pair.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27And I can't believe it, Mervyn and Robbie,
0:26:27 > 0:26:31the fancied favourites for today's final.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- Sorry to disappoint.- No, I mean, Tuvalu and Bhutan,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38two fantastic answers. It's just that everybody has played this round
0:26:38 > 0:26:41absolutely superbly and I'm afraid you played it just a tiny bit
0:26:41 > 0:26:45less superbly than everyone else, which means we have to say goodbye.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Mervyn and Robbie, Thank you so for playing. Brilliant contestants.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50APPLAUSE
0:26:50 > 0:26:53But, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Congratulations, Michael and Julie, Dani and Alex.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04You are now one step closer to the final and a chance
0:27:04 > 0:27:06to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at
0:27:06 > 0:27:08£3,000.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09AUDIENCE: Whoo!
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Well, we've made it to the sunlit uplands of the head-to-head,
0:27:14 > 0:27:17which means you are allowed to confer before you give your answers.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19You can start playing as a team, which is lovely.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22The first pair to win two questions will play for that jackpot.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Very best of luck to both players. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Here is your first question and it concerns
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Poisonous Plants.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Richard?- We'll will show you five pictures now of plants
0:27:39 > 0:27:43that are listed as poisonous on the Royal Horticultural Society website.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Can you identify what they are, please? I hope you can
0:27:45 > 0:27:49because we lost four photographers during the shooting of this round!
0:27:49 > 0:27:50Thanks very much indeed.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53OK, let's reveal our five poisonous plants and here they come.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55We have got...
0:28:21 > 0:28:23There we go. Five poisonous plants.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27Now, Michael and Julie, you are our low scorers so you will go first.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34OK, well, this is a terrible round for us.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Not so good with plants.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39I think I know the answer to one of them
0:28:39 > 0:28:41so we're going to have to go with it.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43We think B is foxglove.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45B, foxglove.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Dani and Alex?
0:28:47 > 0:28:50We're not much better, we're not really gardeners ourselves
0:28:50 > 0:28:52but we think we know three, which was foxglove.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55We think D might be yew maybe
0:28:55 > 0:28:58and E, which is the one we're going to go for is deadly nightshade.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00OK, you're going to go for deadly nightshade.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02So, we have foxglove versus deadly nightshade.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Michael and Julie said foxglove, let's see if that's right for B
0:29:05 > 0:29:08and see how many of our 100 people went for that.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11It's right.
0:29:13 > 0:29:1554 for foxglove.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Dani and Alex, meanwhile, have gone for deadly nightshade for E.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people got deadly nightshade.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30It's right.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Oh, and it wins you the point.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Look at that, 36 for deadly nightshade.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40Which means, Dani and Alex, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Let's fill in the rest of these, shall we?
0:29:42 > 0:29:44- Do you know A? - No, I'm trying to work it out.
0:29:44 > 0:29:45It's oleander.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Eight points.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48It can be very poisonous.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Livestock can die from drinking water
0:29:50 > 0:29:52that an oleander leaf has fallen into.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- How about that?- Oh!- Yeah.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Do you know C?
0:29:57 > 0:30:00It's got holes in its leaves which is the clue.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02- The last word is plant.- Mmm.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04It's something that's full of holes.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Oh! Swiss cheese.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08- Yeah, Swiss cheese plant. - That's hilarious.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11I thought that was just a bad case of caterpillars.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12It would have scored you ten points.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15And D is, of course, yew.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18That would have scored 45.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Thank you very indeed, Richard.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22OK, here comes your second question.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26Dani and Alex, you get to answer it first, but Michael and Julie,
0:30:26 > 0:30:29you have to win this one to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:30:29 > 0:30:34Our second question today is all about world record holders.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38- Richard.- We're looking for the names of whoever set the world records
0:30:38 > 0:30:41you're about to see, please. We're giving you a few clues as well.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Good luck. OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:31:05 > 0:31:06I'll read those again.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Dani and Alex, you will go first.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32OK, I definitely know three.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36There is a fourth that I potentially know
0:31:36 > 0:31:38but I'm not going to take the punt so I'm going to go
0:31:38 > 0:31:41for the middle one which I think is Michael Johnson.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Michael Johnson for the men's 400 metres.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Michael Johnson say Dani and Alex.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Now, Michael and Julie, that board is all yours.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Would you like to talk us through it?
0:31:50 > 0:31:52So, I think the top is Usain Bolt
0:31:52 > 0:31:55and I think the bottom one is Paula Radcliffe.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57I think we're going to go with the second one which
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- is Sonia O'Sullivan.- Sonia O'Sullivan, say Michael and Julie.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03This is the answer you need to win it for you.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Dani and Alex said Michael Johnson.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Let's see if that's right for the men's 400 metres
0:32:07 > 0:32:10and let's see how many of our 100 people got Michael Johnson.
0:32:18 > 0:32:2022.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21Very good, indeed.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Michael and Julie, you've got to hope to beat that
0:32:25 > 0:32:28with Sonia O'Sullivan, the women's 2,000 metres.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Sonia O'Sullivan.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34It is Sonia O'Sullivan.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41And it wins the point for you. Very well done. Down to 12.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44You did exactly what you needed to do there, Michael and Julie,
0:32:44 > 0:32:46and after two questions, you're back in the game.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- It's 1-1.- Great work, she broke that record in Edinburgh
0:32:49 > 0:32:53and Yvonne Murray of Scotland also broke the same world record in the same race, but came second.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56The top one is Usain Bolt, as you say.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Let's take a look at his score, 62.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Paula Radcliffe, down at the bottom,
0:33:02 > 0:33:03would have scored you 37.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Very well done if you got the men's 5,000 metres world record-holder,
0:33:06 > 0:33:08who is Kenenisa Bekele,
0:33:08 > 0:33:11and it's a pointless answer, so terrific work if you got it.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Thank you very much, Richard.
0:33:13 > 0:33:14So, here comes the decider.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Whoever wins this third question goes through to the final
0:33:17 > 0:33:20and plays for the jackpot, so very best of luck to both pairs.
0:33:20 > 0:33:25Our third question today is all about numerical singles.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- Richard?- We're about to show you five hit singles now,
0:33:27 > 0:33:30all of which the titles consist just of numbers.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32We need you to tell us who had hits with these songs, please.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- Best of luck to both teams. - Thanks very much, indeed.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54I'll read those all again.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Michael and Julie will go first.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14We know a few of them.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17It's really a question of which one will score the lowest.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21I think we'll go for the bottom one which I think is Steps.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Steps, say Michael and Julie.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Steps, for 5,6,7,8.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29Dani and Alex, talk us through the board if you can.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31I think the top one, 19,
0:34:31 > 0:34:34is Paul Hardcastle, I think it is.
0:34:34 > 0:34:391999 is Prince and 22 is Taylor Swift.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41The one we're going to go for is '74-'75,
0:34:41 > 0:34:43which we think is The Connells.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45The Connells, '74-'75.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47So we have Steps and we have The Connells.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Michael and Julie said Steps for 5,6,7,8.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Let's see if that's right, and how many of our 100 got it.
0:35:02 > 0:35:0434.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09Dani and Alex, meanwhile, have gone for The Connells for '74-'75.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:35:15 > 0:35:16It is The Connells.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Good answer.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21And it wins you the point.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Wow! Down to two.
0:35:24 > 0:35:25APPLAUSE
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Which means very well done, Dani and Alex, after three questions,
0:35:30 > 0:35:32you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36Very well played. Terrific head-to-head everybody and lovely to be reminded of '74-'75,
0:35:36 > 0:35:40a beautiful song by The Connells. It was their only big UK hit.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44Paul Hardcastle up there, he would have scored you 25.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Prince, of course, 1999,
0:35:46 > 0:35:48would have scored you 49
0:35:48 > 0:35:51and 22, Taylor Swift
0:35:51 > 0:35:53and it would have scored 11.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56So the best answer on the board by a mile, The Connells, well played.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Thanks very much, indeed, so the pair leaving us at the end
0:35:59 > 0:36:02of the head-to-head round, it's Michael and Julie.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Very sad to say goodbye to you, but we'll see you again next time,
0:36:04 > 0:36:08which is just as well or it would have been over in one appearance,
0:36:08 > 0:36:11which would have been one too few. We look forward to seeing you then.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13I'm sure you'll do just as well, if not better then,
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Michael and Julie, thanks very much.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21But, for Dani and Alex, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29Congratulations, Dani and Alex, you have seen off all the competition
0:36:29 > 0:36:32and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:40 > 0:36:43and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at
0:36:43 > 0:36:45£3,000. There we are.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Well, what a turnaround.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53Last show, you left at the end of the first round.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55This time, no repeat of that.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57We've had lovely low scores from you.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59I think you were just biding your time.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:37:02 > 0:37:05We've had both music and geography, that's our strong subjects,
0:37:05 > 0:37:09- and you're really good at sport as well.- Football, cricket, drummers.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Football, cricket, drummers, music, sport.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13- All together!- What about that?
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Well, let's see what today's categories look like.
0:37:16 > 0:37:17We've got...
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Well, that's completely awful.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32London train stations?
0:37:32 > 0:37:34- I don't know. - Or the Gordon Brown years.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37I might be all right at sporting runners-up, maybe.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39It's all down to you.
0:37:39 > 0:37:40Shall we do runners-up?
0:37:42 > 0:37:46Can I take a punt at sporting runners-up please?
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- I'm sorry in advance.- You're going for sporting runners-up.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52You can't say one of the subjects I would like is sport
0:37:52 > 0:37:56and when sporting runners-up comes up go, "Oh, no, this is awful."
0:37:56 > 0:37:58That's exactly what you asked for.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01There are three possibilities here, hopefully one of these suits you.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03I suspect it will. We're looking for any runners-up
0:38:03 > 0:38:06in the Wimbledon men's singles tennis finals since 1976
0:38:06 > 0:38:08all the way through the 2015.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Runners-up in the Formula 1 World Championship since 1976,
0:38:11 > 0:38:14again up to 2015, that's in the final standings.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Or we're looking for any team who have been runners-up
0:38:17 > 0:38:19in the English top-flight football since 1976,
0:38:19 > 0:38:22all the way through to the 2015-2016 season.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24So, men's Wimbledon singles final,
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Formula 1 World Championship
0:38:26 > 0:38:28and English top-flight runners up, please.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- Very best of luck.- OK, now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:38:31 > 0:38:34to come up with three answers and all you need to win that jackpot
0:38:34 > 0:38:37is for one of those three answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- Yes.- Good, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42There they are, your time starts now.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46I'll probably stick away from football because I imagine
0:38:46 > 0:38:48- most of them will be pretty obvious. - OK.
0:38:48 > 0:38:53- Formula 1 you're good at. - Keke Rosberg, Riccardo Patrese.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- Um...- Second place.- Yeah.
0:38:56 > 0:39:01- Jean Gounon?- Jacques... No, he was, no. Jacques Villeneuve, perhaps.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Emerson Fittipaldi, perhaps.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Gerhard Berger.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Any Wimbledon?
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Wimbledon. Marin Cilic, maybe.
0:39:09 > 0:39:10Marat Safin.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Goran Ivanisevic.
0:39:12 > 0:39:13Um...
0:39:13 > 0:39:15I'm glad I've got you!
0:39:19 > 0:39:24OK, probably Riccardo Patrese is probably a reasonable shout.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30Keke Rosberg I think is also probably quite a good shout.
0:39:32 > 0:39:33Ten seconds left.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- Wimbledon?- Marat Safin? - Yeah, that sounds good to me.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39- Yeah?- Yeah, if you're happy with them.- OK.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42OK, sounds like you've arrived at your three answers
0:39:42 > 0:39:45and your minute is now up. Let's have those.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47OK, so Riccardo Patrese for Formula 1.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50- Riccardo Patrese.- Yeah.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52And Keke Rosberg also for Formula 1.
0:39:52 > 0:39:53Keke Rosberg.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57And Marat Safin, I think, for men's Wimbledon finals.
0:39:57 > 0:39:58Marat Safin. Of those three,
0:39:58 > 0:40:01which do you think is your best shot at a Pointless answer?
0:40:01 > 0:40:03- Safin, probably. - Marat Safin goes last.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Least likely to be pointless?
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- Keke Rosberg. - Keke Rosberg goes first.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Let's put those answers on the board in that order, and here they are.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14We have got Keke Rosberg,
0:40:14 > 0:40:16we have got Riccardo Patrese
0:40:16 > 0:40:18and we have got Marat Safin.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Well, good luck, three good answers on the board there.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24If one of those turns out to be pointless and wins you that jackpot,
0:40:24 > 0:40:27what would you like to do with it? £3,000 you'd be taking home.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30We're going to be moving house later this year
0:40:30 > 0:40:33so maybe put it towards some expenditure.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Furniture or a hot tub.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Very good.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Apparently one of those!
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Well, very, very best of luck.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Three good answers here, let us find out if any of these
0:40:44 > 0:40:47will bring home the bacon for you. Keke Rosberg was your first answer.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50In this case we were looking for any runner-up
0:40:50 > 0:40:52in the Formula 1 World Championship since 1976.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Let's find out if Keke Rosberg is pointless and if it is,
0:40:55 > 0:40:57it will win you £3,000.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59How many people said it?
0:41:03 > 0:41:06Bad luck. An incorrect answer, I'm afraid,
0:41:06 > 0:41:10which means we turn to your next answer, Riccardo Patrese.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14Again, we were looking for Formula 1 World Championship runners-up.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16This has to be correct,
0:41:16 > 0:41:18then it has to be pointless for you to win.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21So, for £3,000, let's see how many people said Riccardo Patrese.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Riccardo Patrese is right.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Now, Keke Rosberg was an incorrect answer,
0:41:28 > 0:41:32but Riccardo Patrese takes us down through the 20s,
0:41:32 > 0:41:34into the teens, into single figures.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Still going down with Riccardo Patrese.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Well done, you have done it!
0:41:38 > 0:41:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Very well done, indeed.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Superb.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Just think about that. Oh...
0:41:51 > 0:41:55- A sofa, some chairs, a toaster, a nice kettle.- Everything.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58A hot tub, I know what it's going to be!
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Congratulations, Riccardo Patrese was a pointless answer
0:42:00 > 0:42:04which means you go home with that jackpot of £3,000. Superb.
0:42:07 > 0:42:08Yeah, very well done, a dream category.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11You will know every single name on every one of these lists
0:42:11 > 0:42:14and lots of Pointless answers at home as well, I know that.
0:42:14 > 0:42:15We'll start with Wimbledon.
0:42:19 > 0:42:20Lots of famous names.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Cedric Pioline, Chris Lewis is a pointless answer,
0:42:22 > 0:42:26David Nalbandian, Kevin Curran, Stefan Edberg, a pointless answer as well.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29MaliVai Washington, Pat Rafter would have scored you one point.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31I know people at home would have said both of those.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Runner-up in the Formula 1 World Championship.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Again, you'll know all of these. You could have had...
0:42:39 > 0:42:43Carlos Reutemann, Didier Pironi, Michele Alboreto or Ronnie Peterson.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49Only two Pointless answers in the runners-up in the English top flight
0:42:49 > 0:42:50and they were...
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Thanks very much, Richard, and thanks once again
0:42:57 > 0:42:59to our winning players, Dani and Alex,
0:42:59 > 0:43:01who go away with today's jackpot of £3,000.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Very well done.
0:43:03 > 0:43:04APPLAUSE
0:43:06 > 0:43:11Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to test on Pointless.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
