0:00:14 > 0:00:16APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36I'm Jan, this is my husband Dave
0:00:36 > 0:00:38and we're from Cannock in Staffordshire.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Couple number two.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Hiya, I'm Chris and this is Naomy, and we're both students from
0:00:42 > 0:00:44- Brighton and London. - Couple number three.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47I'm Simon from Birmingham, and this is my girlfriend Zara from Reading.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49And finally couple number four.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51I'm Louis and this is my step-grandfather John
0:00:51 > 0:00:53and we're from South Wales.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Thanks very much all of you. A warm welcome to Pointless.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show as it
0:01:02 > 0:01:05goes along, so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Currently on the first leg of his premium pedant tour...
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Well, I say tour,
0:01:09 > 0:01:11it's more him screaming at strangers in pub car parks.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Hi, everybody. Good afternoon.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon.- How are you?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- I'm very... I'm slightly losing my voice.- Oh, no. Really?- Yeah.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27That's... Well, for a man like you, that's important.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- Yeah.- You mustn't lose it. What if this is the end now?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31What if it's not just you having a bad day, but this is,
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- it's finally gone.- That's it.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- So you can't do another album. - Another album.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- Oh, no. - LAUGHTER
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- That would be awful.- It'll be fine, Richard.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46I tell you what you should do, just to make sure it's OK.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47After the show, for an hour-and-a-half,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50shout at the top of your voice. That will fix it.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52I'll do that, that's excellent advice.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55And now we only have one returning pair from the last show
0:01:55 > 0:01:57and that's John and Louis on podium four.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59I felt a bit bad because John was very, very unlucky
0:01:59 > 0:02:01in that last show on the chemical elements,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04so I felt a bit bad. So we go along and chat to everyone beforehand.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Louis said, "Don't worry about that." He said, "I dreamt of John getting 100 points.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- "I'm over the moon about it." - Oh, really?
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Hopefully it doesn't happen again.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14I don't know what it is about seeing contestants called John and Louis
0:02:14 > 0:02:17that makes me want to buy a fridge-freezer and some cushions.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19LAUGHTER Never knowingly.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Now, there we are. Nicky and Rob didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25which means we add another £1,000 to that,
0:02:25 > 0:02:29so today's jackpot starts off at £2,250.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32There we are, that's the jackpot. Right.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42OK, now remember, the pair with the highest score at the end of
0:02:42 > 0:02:43each round will be eliminated.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45That's it, that's the only rule.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47No conferring till we get to the head-to-head.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category today is...
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Capital Cities. Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going to go first,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59who's going to go second, and whoever's going first,
0:02:59 > 0:03:00please step up to the podium.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05OK. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many capital cities...
0:03:13 > 0:03:17..as they could. Capital cities alphabetically after London. Richard.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Yes, simply any world capital whose name comes after London in
0:03:20 > 0:03:24the alphabet, please. As always, they have to be capitals of countries that are sovereign states,
0:03:24 > 0:03:26which are members of the UN in its own right.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Marvellous. Thank you very much indeed. Dave, welcome to Pointless.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Thank you.- Great to have you here. What do you do, Dave?
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- Retired.- What did you do, Dave? - Police officer.- Ah.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37- Ah.- Where were you a police officer?
0:03:37 > 0:03:42- Originally in Birmingham City, which is now defunct.- Mm-hm.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45And West Midlands.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47And that was it for 25 years, basically.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- And you never did a stint in the Met? No.- No, no, no.- No.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54We should point out it's Birmingham City Police that is now defunct,
0:03:54 > 0:03:58not Birmingham City, just in case you scared any football fans.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- They're working on it.- OK.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03And, Dave, how do you fill your retirement?
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- Looking after grandchildren. - Ah! That's nice.- Cooking.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09How many grandchildren have you got?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Well, the ones we have to look after is two at the moment.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I've got one... Five grandchildren.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18I could put him on the spot and ask him to name them, couldn't I?
0:04:18 > 0:04:23He was quite dodgy on the numbers, so the names are going to be...
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Dave, Capital Cities.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28That's the sort of subject some people love and some people hate.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31How are we feeling about capital cities?
0:04:31 > 0:04:36Once the grey cells start to bump together, we might get somewhere.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Erm...
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- ..Oslo.- Oslo says Dave.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44OK, let's see if that's right.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Let's see how many of our 100 people said Oslo.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51It is right.
0:04:54 > 0:04:5637.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- 37 for Oslo.- Yes, the capital of Norway, of course.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04The most successful Winter Olympic nation in history.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Oslo also the name of the new diet drink I'm launching.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11LAUGHTER Excellent.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Mm! What flavours are you doing? Are they sweet, savoury?- Pineapple.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Ah!- Yes, savoury, yeah.- Savoury. LAUGHTER
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- I think fizzy pork, fizzy beef. - LAUGHTER
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- And still chicken.- Still chicken. Still?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Still chicken. - After all these years,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- still chicken.- It's still chicken. - There we go.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- It's called That's Still Chicken. Mm!- Naomy, welcome to Pointless.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38It's lovely to have you here. What do you do? You're a student?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40I'm a student, yes, at the University of Surrey.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- And what are you reading?- Law. - Are you enamoured of the course?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Will you go on into the law, do you think?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- Yeah. I mean, the dream is to become a solicitor, so...- It's the dream.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55- Yep, that's the dream.- And what else do you like getting up to when you're not working at university?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57So in my spare time I'm part of my university's gospel choir,
0:05:57 > 0:06:01so I sing. I'm also vice president.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Now, in a gospel choir,
0:06:03 > 0:06:04are you ever actually given music
0:06:04 > 0:06:08or are you just given a tune and told...
0:06:08 > 0:06:09free swim, have fun?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11It's a mixture.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Sometimes we get told to sing what the musical director
0:06:14 > 0:06:15tells us to sing.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18And you always know which part you're likely to take?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Yeah, we get split up into sopranos, altos and tenors, so...
0:06:21 > 0:06:25- Brilliant! It must just be amazing fun, that.- It's good fun.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Excellent. Now, Naomy...- Yes.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28What would you like to go for?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31I'm going to go for Reykjavik.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- Reykjavik...- Yes.- ..says Naomy.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38Excellent, nice northern European capitals we're hovering round now.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Let's see how many of our 100 people said Reykjavik.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47It's right, 37 is our only score at this point.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48And you pass it comfortably.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Look at that, down to 10
0:06:51 > 0:06:53for Reykjavik. Very well done, indeed, Naomy.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58That's a great start, Naomy, very well played.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01In 2014, in Iceland, you know whenever we build a new road,
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- there's always environmental concerns and stuff like that?- Mmm.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Genuinely, they had to stop building a road because people said
0:07:07 > 0:07:10that elves lived along the route of the road.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14And a lot of Icelanders believe in elves still.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18They stopped construction and an elf mediator came in and had to say,
0:07:18 > 0:07:20"It's absolutely fine, we'll move this boulder," which is where
0:07:20 > 0:07:22the elves live, and the road was allowed to be built.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24It genuinely happened.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27It stopped the construction of a major new road in Iceland.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Because of elves.- Elf and safety.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30LAUGHTER
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Er, now then, Simon, a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- What do you do, Simon? - I'm a bookkeeper.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I see. What are your interests, Simon?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43I like cinema, I've started collecting vinyl records
0:07:43 > 0:07:46and I like reading.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Now, the vinyl record thing,
0:07:47 > 0:07:51have you got a super-duper record player, then?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Yes, I have the turntable, speakers. I have the whole thing.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Very exciting. I mean, everyone's rushing back to vinyl, aren't they?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01It's a much more exciting thing, putting vinyl on.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05It's nice to take the time to get it set up, and you get download codes,
0:08:05 > 0:08:07as well, with the records these days, so...
0:08:07 > 0:08:08I think that's the way forward.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11I think you should buy the right to own it and then you can have it
0:08:11 > 0:08:12- in any format.- Yeah.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- Once you've got it, that's what I think. Don't you think?- Yeah.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19XANDER CHUCKLES Richard was just writing limericks there,
0:08:19 > 0:08:20no idea what we're talking about.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Simon, what would you like to go for?
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- I'd like to go for Riga. - Riga, says Simon, good answer.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Let's see if it's right.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Let's see how many of our 100 people said Riga.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33It's right.
0:08:33 > 0:08:3737's our high score, 10 is our low at this point.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38You've past 37.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40You've past 10.
0:08:40 > 0:08:411! APPLAUSE
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Simon, very well done, indeed.
0:08:43 > 0:08:441 point for Riga.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49That's a very good answer. Yeah, capital of Latvia, Riga.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Geographically, we're in very similar places, aren't we?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- We are, yeah. - Not you and I, but the answers.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Your voice is going...- It is going.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Yeah, I can't wait for the end of the show.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00This is going to get worse and worse, I think.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Will it still be here by the end of the show?- Oh, let's hope.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04What happens if I... Yeah...
0:09:04 > 0:09:07What happens if you can't do the final round?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10I've got it covered, we get a trained chimp in.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Actually, what happens if the trained...
0:09:12 > 0:09:14It's not even that trained, to be honest.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Just house trained, that'll do.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Outperformed by a primate.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Thank you very much, Richard.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22OK, now, John, welcome back.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Round One we had to say goodbye to you last time.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- What can I say?- Oh - yrittium!
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Now, John, remind us what you do?
0:09:29 > 0:09:30I'm a telephone engineer.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32That's right, and what are your interests, John?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I'm still playing vets' football and I like to play table tennis.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Now, vets' football, how often do you get together?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- How often do you do that? - Every week.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Is it very good natured and gentlemanly,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43or do the vets get stuck in there?
0:09:43 > 0:09:47It's the same as any sport.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49You like to win, don't you?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52John says with a smile.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Yes, I know what you mean. John, what would you like to go for?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I think I'll go for Tallinn.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Tallinn, they're sticking in very much...
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- Yeah.- The world's a big place. Anyway, John's saying Tallinn.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Let's see how many of our 100 people said Tallinn.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14It's right. Well, 37's the high score, you pass it.
0:10:14 > 0:10:161 is our low score.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18And you equal it, look at that. APPLAUSE
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Very well done, indeed, John.
0:10:19 > 0:10:211 point for Tallinn.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Well played, John, terrific answer. Yeah, capital of Estonia.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27There we are, thank you, Richard.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:30 > 0:10:321 - very popular low score.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34The two farthest podiums have gone for it.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36John and Simon, very well done, indeed.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39So, yes, Simon and Zara and John and Louis looking very strong.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42I would say Naomy and Chris are looking pretty strong, as well.
0:10:42 > 0:10:4537, nothing wrong with that as a score, Dave.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46But, er...
0:10:46 > 0:10:48..Jan you find yourselves out in front.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49It falls to you, I'm afraid,
0:10:49 > 0:10:52to come up with a really blindingly low score.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Good luck with that when we get to you. We're going to come back
0:10:54 > 0:10:58down the line. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03OK, so remember, we're looking for any capital city that comes
0:11:03 > 0:11:05alphabetically after London.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Louis, a very warm welcome to you.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Remind us what you do, Louis.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I'm a lecturer at university.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13See, that's exciting. And you lecture in?
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Audio music production.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17That's great. How many students have you got on your course?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20In my second year I've got just over 30, and in my first year I've
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- got around 15.- Fantastic.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24And do you have live projects,
0:11:24 > 0:11:27or actual practical things that you work on with them?
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Yeah, we've got a few live projects.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31One of my main things I've introduced to the course is
0:11:31 > 0:11:34to actually get the students to run a real-life event in
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- a local night club.- Wow!
0:11:36 > 0:11:39And your night out is at the night club, assessing how well
0:11:39 > 0:11:41they've done it! RICHARD CHUCKLES
0:11:41 > 0:11:43That's nice way of marking work, isn't it?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- Free drinks.- Very nice.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Er, now, then, Louis you're on 1.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50A lovely low score from John in the first pass.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52The high-scorers are Dave and Jan on 37.
0:11:52 > 0:11:5535 or less gets you through.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58OK, I'm going to go with Seoul in South Korea.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Seoul. Seoul, says Louis.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Here is your red line. If you can get below this red line with Seoul,
0:12:04 > 0:12:05you are through to the next round.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Let's see how many people said it.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Look at that, John and Louis are going through.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Seoul scores you three. APPLAUSE
0:12:18 > 0:12:20A wonderful low total of 4.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Very well done on the far podium.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Well played, Louis, terrific stuff on that far podium from both of you.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Yes, Seoul. The most famous district in Seoul now,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30wouldn't have been five years ago, Gangnam.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32That's where Gangnam Style came from.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Been viewed over two billion times on YouTube.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- Interesting.- Yeah. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Zara, welcome to Pointless, good to have you here.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- What do you do, Zara? - I work in customer service.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Very good, and what are your interests, Zara?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Um, travelling.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Um, going to dinner with my boyfriend.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Oh, that's a nice hobby to have.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Who cooks when you go to have dinner with Simon?
0:12:56 > 0:12:57Well...
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Do you turn up early in order to make sure you...
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- I did make him dinner just this week, actually.- Oh.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05I did drop the salmon on the ironing board.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06LAUGHTER
0:13:06 > 0:13:07OK...
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Why don't you put the ironing board away when you're cooking?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12That's how you get a flat fish.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14XANDER CHUCKLES I see.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Oh, it was Simon's kitchen?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Yeah, and I thought it would be a good place to plate up the food.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- Ah...- And...you know.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24At least it was salmon, so it'll smell nice on all of Simon's shirts.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- Yeah.- There we are.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Now, Zara, you're on 1,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30the high-scorers still Dave and Jan on 37.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34So 35 or less gets you through.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Well, my mind's gone pretty much blank so I'm going to
0:13:37 > 0:13:41unfortunately let the side down a bit and go for Moscow.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46Moscow, says Zara. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Moscow.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47There's your red line.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Oh, yes, through you go.
0:13:56 > 0:13:5729 for Moscow.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Taking your total up to 30.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Yeah, the capital of Russia, Moscow.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I've never been. I always think it might be quite forbidding.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Yeah...maybe.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- Er, thank you. Now, Chris... - Hi.- Welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- What do you do, Chris? - I'm a student.- And you study?
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- Philosophy and politics.- Ah, very good. And what are your interests?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21I like film, I like reading.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24So, yeah, I collect comic books, as well.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26How big is your comic book collection, and what kind of
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- comic books do you collect? - All kinds, really.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I mean, I'm getting more into independent comic books
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- recently but, yeah, all kinds, really.- Very good.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Now, Chris, this is going to be interesting.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- You're on 10, Dave and Jan are on 37. So 26 or less.- OK.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46The pressure's mounting slightly as we get to this end of the line.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- So I'm going to go with Ottawa. - Ottawa?- Yeah.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Ottawa, says Chris. Here is your red line.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Get below this red line with Ottawa and you're into Round Two.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Let's see how many of our 100 people said Ottawa.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01It's right.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09And you are through. Look at that, 9 for Ottawa. Very well done, indeed.
0:15:09 > 0:15:1119 is your total.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Yeah, the capital of Canada. Very well played.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- Queen Victoria chose it as the capital in 1857.- Thank you, Richard.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- Now, Jan...- Hiya.- I can't bear it.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27The first conversation we have opens with me telling you that this
0:15:27 > 0:15:30is your last round, I'm afraid, because you are the high-scorers.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Anyway, let's put that to one side for one moment. What do you do, Jan?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- I'm retired.- What did you do?
0:15:35 > 0:15:39I was a police officer and also a fingerprint expert.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Oh, wow!- Yeah. I know.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- These podiums, the stories they could tell.- Oh, yes.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Give me some powder.- Yeah.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- Did you and Dave meet in the force? - Yes, we did.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54We were both on the motorway.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57He was a patrol driver and I was in the control room.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- Oh, which motorway was it?- M6. - Oh, the nicest motorway.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- We didn't marry on the M6. - Oh, no, I'm glad. I'm glad.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Or, if you did, on a slip road, I'd have thought. Yes.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Now, Jan, what would you like to go for?
0:16:10 > 0:16:14I'm sorry you will be leaving us, even if you find a pointless answer.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Of which I'm sure there are plenty. - There probably are, yes.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- Ho Chi Minh City.- Ho Chi Mi...
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- Ho Chi Minh City, yes.- Vietnam?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27No, I'm aware of that. It's the alphabet bit I'm worrying about.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32- Oh, God!- Ho Chi Minh City.- I was going to say Phnom Penh, as well.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Oh! Well, let's see what happens when I say Ho Chi Minh City.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- Let's face it, it's not going to change anything, is it?- No.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39Ho Chi Minh City.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Oh, well, there we are.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Ho Chi Minh City, I'm afraid, an incorrect answer.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- Scores you 100, takes your total up to 137.- Yes. Sorry.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Yeah, Phnom Penh would have been a great answer.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- Phnom Penh would have scored you two points...- Oh!
0:16:54 > 0:16:55For Cambodia - would have been a lovely one.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58There's loads of pointless answers. Absolutely loads of them.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Let's take a look at a few of them now.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Manama, which is Bahrain.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Podgorica, which is Montenegro.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Roseau, which is Dominica.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Skopje, which is Macedonia.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Tegucigalpa, which is Honduras.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Tirana, Albania. All of these pointless.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19A few more.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Ulaanbaatar, which is Mongolia.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Vaduz, Leichtenstein.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23And Yerevan, Armenia.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25I mean, there are absolutely loads of them.
0:17:25 > 0:17:31Er, Muscat, Mogadishu, Palikir, San Jose, Male, Port Vila,
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Sana'a, Praia, Paramaribo, San Marino.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Lots and lots of pointless answers.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Let's take a look at the top-scorers,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Thank you very much indeed.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51At the end of our first round, the pair who'll be heading home
0:17:51 > 0:17:53with their high score of 137 is Dave and Jan.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I'm sorry, you've only got here and we're sending you packing. It's been great having you.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59We'll see you again next time, we look forward to that very much.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Meantime, thanks so much for playing.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:18:04 > 0:18:07For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Well, three pairs remain and at the end of this round we'll have
0:18:15 > 0:18:18to say goodbye to another pair, but very well done,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20lovely low-scoring in that round.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22You made it through the capitals round,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25some people don't like those rounds. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Our category for Round Two today is...
0:18:30 > 0:18:33It's Musicians. Can you all decide who's going first, who's
0:18:33 > 0:18:36going second, and whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42And the question concerns...
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Musical Mononyms.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Musical Mononyms.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- We all know what that means. - Sounds scary, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50It's not scary at all, I promise.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52On each board we're going to show you six descriptions of
0:18:52 > 0:18:55musicians, each of whom is famously known by just one name.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58You just have to name one of those musicians, please.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00There'll be six on the first board, six on the second.
0:19:00 > 0:19:0212 in all to have a go at at home, very best of luck.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06OK, so we're looking for the names of these artists
0:19:06 > 0:19:08and here is our first board of clues. We have got...
0:19:31 > 0:19:33I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54There we go.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Chris, it falls to you to start this round off for us.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Oh, wow, OK. I don't know any of them, so that's not great.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Um...
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Greek-American composer is the one I'm going for
0:20:03 > 0:20:06but I don't know if that's right but I'm going to go for Boy George.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I don't know if that's right, it doesn't sound it.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10It sounds like two names to me but there we are.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Boy George is what you're going for? - Oh, dear.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Let's see what happens when we say Boy George.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21I'm afraid...
0:20:21 > 0:20:24I'm trying to think of how many different ways that's wrong.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- That scores you 100 points, I'm sorry, Chris.- It's all right.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28I mean, it might be setting a new record.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32We thought Ho Chi Minh City was an unusual answer.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Yeah, he's not Greek-American, not a composer, not a keyboardist,
0:20:35 > 0:20:38not a former member of Chameleon and not known by one word,
0:20:38 > 0:20:39other than that...
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Other than that.- Maybe next year.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Not a bad answer. - Not bad, other than that.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Zara, we come to you next.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Thank goodness, because I only know one answer on that board
0:20:50 > 0:20:55and I'm going to go with founding frontman of the Police...
0:20:55 > 0:20:57I'm doubting myself now, but Sting.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Sting. Sting, surely. Let's see if that's right.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Let's see how many of our 100 people said Sting.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06It's right.
0:21:06 > 0:21:0882. It's a high one.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Better than 100, though.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13That is a high one, yeah.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- It gives a chance to Naomy on the second pass now.- Yeah.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19That is not far off 100 but it is a correct answer, which is good news.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Thanks very much, Richard.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Now, John. John, you're the last person to have this board.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25If you want to go through and fill in
0:21:25 > 0:21:28all those single-word names, you'd be most welcome.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Um, the Icelandic musician, the only Icelandic musician I can
0:21:31 > 0:21:34think of is Bjork, but I don't think that's right.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38The electronic singer-songwriter that's probably Moby Dick,
0:21:38 > 0:21:40so I'd be guessing at Moby.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42But the pianist is Liberace.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- I'll take a chance and go with Moby. - You're going with Moby.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Moby, says John. Let's see if that's right.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Let's see how many of our 100 people said Moby.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55It's right.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Well, 100 was our highest score, 82 our low.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00You've passed both of those.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Look at that! Moby scoring you 12, very well done, indeed, John.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05I like the way you worked that out, as well.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Yes, well worked out.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11He sold over ten million copies of his album, Play, Moby.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- It was ubiquitous at one point. - It really was.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15You should have more faith in yourself, John.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Of course you're right about the Icelandic musician, that's Bjork.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21She would have scored you 39.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24The pianist, you're right, would have scored you more points.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25You were right to go to Moby.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Liberace would have scored 49.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29The Colombian singer?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Shakira.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Shakira would have scored you 21.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- Now, this one some people are going to get wrong.- Ah.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- Are you going to say to me Vangelis? - Yes.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- You are wrong... - Oh, no!- ..if you say Vangelis.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- It's Yanni.- Yanni.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Yanni, and it's a pointless answer, so very well done if you said that.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51We're halfway through the round, let's look at the scores.
0:22:51 > 0:22:5312, John, the best score of the pass.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55John and Louis looking pretty strong at this point.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Then up to 82, where we find Zara and Simon.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Then on to Chris and Naomy on 100.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01But Richard's absolutely right.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Nice, you've got some good company.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04They are just below you.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07So, actually, you're in with a chance here
0:23:07 > 0:23:09if you can find a nice low score. So good luck with that.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11We're going to come back down the line now.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Let's put six more clues up on the board, and here they come.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07There we are.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Louis, ideally you would score 87 or less.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Um...
0:24:12 > 0:24:14My family being from Barbados, I've got to go with the
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Barbadian R&B singer being Rihanna.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Rihanna, says Louis. Here is your red line, nice and high.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22If you can get below that, you are into the head-to-head.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Let's see how many of our 100 people said Rihanna.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28It's right and you're through.
0:24:30 > 0:24:3356, taking your total up to 68.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Great work, Louis, lovely reason to give the answer, as well.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- There's actually a National Rihanna Day now in Barbados...- Really?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- ..in February. Yeah.- Really?- Yeah.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45OK, there we are. Hmm.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Hmm, thank you.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Simon?
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Yes, I think I'm going to go for the bassist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers
0:24:52 > 0:24:54and Flea.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Flea, says Simon. Flea.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Now, here is your red line. Quite low.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02If you can get below that with Flea, you are in the head-to-head.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05How many of our 100 people said Flea?
0:25:07 > 0:25:08It's right.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Much lower scoring pass, this one.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Look at that, 19, you scored.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18APPLAUSE That takes your total up to 101.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- Puts the pressure on Naomy.- Doesn't it? Yeah, he's also an actor.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26He's been in two of the Back To The Future films and The Big Labowski.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28There we are, thank you, Richard.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Naomy... Now, listen, this is very exciting indeed.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Basically what we're looking for is a pointless answer from you
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- to keep you in the game.- Ah...
0:25:36 > 0:25:40- I'm afraid you're carrying the can for Chris's Boy George...- Yeah.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44- ..outburst.- So there are two on there that I think I know.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45OK.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49I'm going to go with the bottom one and say Pink.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Pink, says Naomy.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Here is your red line.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56I say here - it's there,
0:25:56 > 0:25:58in a figurative sense. Let's see.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Pink - how many of our 100 people said Pink?
0:26:10 > 0:26:1114 for Pink.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14APPLAUSE Not bad.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16But it takes your total up to 114.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Yeah, it's a really nice way to leave us, Naomy.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Well done, it gives you massive moral superiority over Chris,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24as well. So this evening, you can lay into him all you like.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Let's fill in the rest of this board,
0:26:25 > 0:26:27there is a pointless answer up there.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30It's not the US singer because that, of course, is Cher,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33and would have scored you 80.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- It's not The Voice UK coach cos that is...- will.i.am.- will.i.am.
0:26:38 > 0:26:4165 for that. But it is the Spanish musician and actress.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Very well done if you said Charo, a terrific answer.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46There we are.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Thank you very much.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Now we are at the end of our second round.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52That means we have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55I'm afraid the candidates for that are Naomy and Chris,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57with a high score of 114.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00We'll see you again next time, look forward to that very much,
0:27:00 > 0:27:04but meantime thanks so much, Naomy and Chris. APPLAUSE
0:27:04 > 0:27:07But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Congratulations, John and Louis, Simon and Zara,
0:27:15 > 0:27:17you're now one step closer to the final and
0:27:17 > 0:27:20a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,250.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24APPLAUSE
0:27:24 > 0:27:25Well, we've made it thus far.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27We are here at the head-to-head,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30which means you can now confer before giving your answers, and
0:27:30 > 0:27:33the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Here comes your first question.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44And it concerns...
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- Richard?- We're going to show you five pictures now of people in the
0:27:51 > 0:27:53sporting world who were born in 1976.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Can you identify the most obscure?
0:27:55 > 0:27:58OK, let's reveal our five sports stars, and here they come.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59We have got...
0:28:27 > 0:28:29There we are. Five sports stars born in 1976.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32John and Louis, you're our low-scorers so you will go first.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37THEY WHISPER
0:28:41 > 0:28:44We're going to go with B, Phil Vickery.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Phil Vickery, say John and Louis.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Now, then, Simon and Zara, that board is all yours,
0:28:49 > 0:28:51talk us through our sports stars.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Well, I think I only know two, actually.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55A is Chris Hoy.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59C is Lindsay Davenport.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02And I think we should go for Lindsay Davenport, C.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03OK, C, Lindsay Davenport.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05We have Phil Vickery and Lindsay Davenport.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07John and Louis said Phil Vickery for B.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13It is Phil Vickery.
0:29:19 > 0:29:20Down that goes to 3.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24That's a fabulous answer, very well done, indeed, John and Louis.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29Simon and Zara, you have gone for Lindsay Davenport for C.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30Let's see if that's right.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35It is right.
0:29:35 > 0:29:373 is what it's got to beat.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Let's see how you do. Still going down.
0:29:39 > 0:29:4117.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Very well done, two great answers there but, John and Louis,
0:29:47 > 0:29:49after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Yeah, both good answers there, quite a tough board.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55A is Chris Hoy. I think everyone knew that here.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57He would have scored 29.
0:29:57 > 0:29:58Not a bad little score.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01D is Chris Martin from Cold Play.
0:30:01 > 0:30:02It's not really!
0:30:02 > 0:30:06That's our 200-metre paralympic gold medallist, Richard Whitehead.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Very well done if you said that. A pointless answer.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10And E is Dame Ellen MacArthur.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13She would have scored 12.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18So here comes your second question, Simon and Zara.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20You get to answer it first but you have to win it to stay in the game.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Good luck. Our second question concerns...
0:30:24 > 0:30:27The number 500. Richard?
0:30:27 > 0:30:30We're going to show you five clues now relating to the number 500.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32We just need the most obscure answer.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Thank you very much. Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37We've got...
0:30:58 > 0:31:00I'll read those again.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20Simon and Zara, you will go first.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23THEY WHISPER
0:31:28 > 0:31:32I think we'll go for the top one, which, I believe,
0:31:32 > 0:31:34is 500 Days Of Summer.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37500 Days Of Summer, say Simon and Zara.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Now, then, John and Louis.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Talk us through the board.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- I don't know what 500 is in Italian, do you?- No.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47The animal is a monkey.
0:31:48 > 0:31:53The Tudor monarch is Henry VIII but I'm not 100% sure.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55The Scottish twins are the Proclaimers.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57Go for the fourth one.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01Go on, then, we'll go with Henry VIII, and hope.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Henry VIII, with fingers crossed, say John and Louis.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06So we have 500 Days Of Summer and Henry VIII.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Simon and Zara, 500 Days Of Summer,
0:32:08 > 0:32:10let's see if that's right for the top one.
0:32:12 > 0:32:13And it is.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Not bad, 16.
0:32:21 > 0:32:2316 for the 500 Days Of Summer.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24John and Louis, meanwhile,
0:32:24 > 0:32:27have gone for Henry VIII for the Tudor monarch.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28On the throne 500 years ago.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Let's see if that's right.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34It is Henry VIII.
0:32:37 > 0:32:38It's a good answer, as well.
0:32:38 > 0:32:3931 for Henry VIII.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45Simon and Zara, you're back in the game. After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48And only one answer that would have beaten 500 Days Of Summer, as well.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50We will get to that last.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53The animal, you are absolutely right, is the monkey.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Would have scored 32 points, so a very similar score.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- The Scottish twins, of course... - The Proclaimers.- The Proclaimers.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Craig and Charlie Reid, 52 for that.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03I bet you do know the number 500 in Italian.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- Cinquecento.- The Fiat Cinquecento is the Fiat 500. Cinquecento.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09That would have scored 9 points.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10Thanks very much, Richard.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Zoe, here comes your third question, this is the decider.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17Whoever wins this goes through to the final to play for the jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Our third question is all about...
0:33:21 > 0:33:22Italian artists, Richard?
0:33:22 > 0:33:25We're going to show you the names now of five Italian artists,
0:33:25 > 0:33:27all of whom feature in the book, Lives Of The Artist.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29We've missed out alternate letters from their name.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Can you fill in those gaps, please? Very best of luck.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33OK, let's reveal our five artists.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35And here they are.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57There we are. Now, then, John and Louis will go first.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01THEY WHISPER
0:34:06 > 0:34:08We'll go for the middle one, Botticelli.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Botticelli, say John and Louis.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Now, then, Simon and Zara, do you want to talk us through the others?
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Er, well, a couple of them.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Um, I think, looking at it again,
0:34:17 > 0:34:20Michelangelo at the top.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- I'm not sure of the second. - I'm not sure.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Raphael for the bottom one.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26Raphael for the bottom, yeah.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31- I think we might have to go for Raphael.- Yeah.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33OK, Raphael.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35So we have Botticelli and we have Raphael.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37John and Louis said Botticelli - let's see if that's right.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Let's see how many people said it.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43It's right.
0:34:46 > 0:34:4831.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50APPLAUSE
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Now, then, Simon and Zara have gone for Raphael.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 said that.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59This to decide who goes through to the final.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03It's right.
0:35:04 > 0:35:0965 for Raphael, which means very well done, John and Louis.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12After three questions, you're through to the final, 2-1.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Yeah, Michelangelo wouldn't have saved you either.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Michelangelo the biggest scorer up there, unsurprisingly.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19That would have scored 80.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22But the other two answers would have seen you through to the final.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Er, Pinturicchio. Pinturicchio is the second one down.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27That would have scored you one point,
0:35:27 > 0:35:28terrific answer if you got that at home.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- And do you know the last one? - Tintoretto.- Tintoretto.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Tintoretto would have scored 18.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34Thanks very much, Richard.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:36 > 0:35:39I'm afraid, Simon and Zara. Very well played.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Three correct answers, nice low scores.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Lindsay Davenport was actually a lovely low score,
0:35:44 > 0:35:46just Phil Vickery pipped you there.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48We'll see you again next time, and I'm sure you'll do just as well,
0:35:48 > 0:35:52if not better. But thanks very much for playing, Simon and Zara.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58For John and Louis, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Well, congratulations, John and Louis, you have seen off all the
0:36:04 > 0:36:08competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,250.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26This is interesting, a pattern has evolved.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28In the last few shows we've had quite
0:36:28 > 0:36:31a few people who in their first appearance have gone off early
0:36:31 > 0:36:33and then have come back, come through the head-to-head and through
0:36:33 > 0:36:35to the final and done very well.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39So fingers crossed that will be the pattern that holds for today.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42As always, you get to choose the category first from the board.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45We have to hope there's something there you like the look of.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Today's selection reads like this. We've got...
0:36:55 > 0:36:57It's got to be rugby, hasn't it?
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Rock music, you're on your own, but Six Nations.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01I'll chip in with a try.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- Six Nations, then. - Six Nations rugby it is.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07I love the way you at least pretended to think about it.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10I always have all the questions written out and, this one,
0:37:10 > 0:37:11I put all the other ones to that side.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14I knew you were going to go for rugby. How could you not?
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Very best of luck, I think you've got a big chance here.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19We are looking for anybody who was named in...
0:37:19 > 0:37:21England's 2016 Six Nation squad,
0:37:21 > 0:37:23the one that was announced on 13th January.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27Anyone who was named in Ireland's 2016 Six Nations squad,
0:37:27 > 0:37:29announced on 20th January.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32And how about this? We are looking for anybody who was named in
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Wales's 2016 Six Nations squad on 19th January.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39So players in the England, Ireland or Wales Six Nations squads
0:37:39 > 0:37:42that were all announced in January 2016.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44- Very, very, best of luck.- Thank you. Now, as always, you've got
0:37:44 > 0:37:47up to one minute to come up with three answers, and all you
0:37:47 > 0:37:50need to win that jackpot is for just one of your answers to be pointless.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- Are you ready?- Let's do it.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Your time starts now!
0:37:57 > 0:38:00We're going for Wales, obviously. There's Jamie Roberts.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04- That won't be pointless.- Yeah. Leigh Halfpenny.- Not pointless.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Who's the fullback that took his place?
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Dan Biggar. No, it wasn't Dan Biggar.
0:38:10 > 0:38:16Dan Biggar probably won't be pointless.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18How about the props?
0:38:20 > 0:38:24There's Hibbert. What's his name? Matthew Hibbert, is it?
0:38:24 > 0:38:29- Matthew Hibbert I think's a musician.- OK.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36- So, who's the number 8, Toby Faletau.- Toby Faletau, yeah.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38We'll go with him.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40And, um...
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Who's on the wing?
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Ten seconds left.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Charteris. We'll go with Charteris.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Charteris.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57OK. That is your minute up.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00I need your three answers and which category you're answering.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03- The three of them from the Wales squad.- All Welsh.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06We'll go with Luke Charteris.
0:39:06 > 0:39:07Luke Charteris.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- Toby Faletau.- Toby Faletau.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12And who's that fullback?
0:39:12 > 0:39:14- We'll go with Dan Biggar, then. - And Dan Biggar, OK.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:18 > 0:39:20- Toby Faletau.- Toby Faletau.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22- And your least likely to be pointless?- Dan Biggar.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27And here they are. We have got...
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Well, very, very best of luck.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Three good answers on the board there.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39What would you do if one of these wins that jackpot for you
0:39:39 > 0:39:41and you won £2,250?
0:39:41 > 0:39:43What would you do with that?
0:39:43 > 0:39:46I think most of it'll go down the pub and the casino.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Might just squander the rest.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Louis, how about you?
0:39:52 > 0:39:54I don't think my grandmother would be happy him doing that.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58I'll probably take her out on a spa day, just for putting up with us.
0:39:58 > 0:39:59- Aw...- Aw.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Aw, I bet he won't. Still, aww...
0:40:01 > 0:40:03OK, very best of luck.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Your first answer was Dan Biggar.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07In all three cases, we were looking for players in the
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Wales 2016 Six Nations squad.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13If this is pointless, it wins you £2,250.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Let's see how many of our 100 people said Dan Biggar.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Well, it's right.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25All it has to be now is pointless and you'll win £2,250.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Down it goes.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Into the teens, right down into single figures,
0:40:29 > 0:40:32down it goes. Fabulous answer, Dan Biggar.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33APPLAUSE
0:40:33 > 0:40:37Scoring you five. That's a great score.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38It's not pointless, though,
0:40:38 > 0:40:40and only pointless answers count in this last round.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43So we have to move on to your next answer,
0:40:43 > 0:40:45which was Luke Charteris.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Again, we were looking for Welsh squad members for
0:40:47 > 0:40:50the 2016 Six Nations.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52This has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot for £2,250.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55How many people said Luke Charteris?
0:40:58 > 0:40:59It's right.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Well, Dan Biggar took us all the way down to 5.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Luke Charteris takes us down through the 40s now,
0:41:04 > 0:41:05into the 30s,
0:41:05 > 0:41:07still going down. Into the teens.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Into single figures going down.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Yeah!
0:41:12 > 0:41:16Oh, fantastic. Very well done.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Congratulations.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22Well, very well done.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Congratulations, Luke Charteris was a pointless answer,
0:41:25 > 0:41:27which means you go home with that jackpot of £2,250.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Very well done, indeed, John and Louis.
0:41:33 > 0:41:34That turned out nicely, didn't it?
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Very well done, exactly what grandfathers should do for grandsons, as well.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Congratulations, terrific stuff.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Loads of pointless answers all over the place.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Actually, Toby Faletau wasn't, he would have scored you one point.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46There'll be loads of others you do know, and you got the one.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49That's the important thing. That 60 seconds is so hard.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Let's start with the England squad.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54You'll see immediately huge names here on the board for the
0:41:54 > 0:41:56England squad. Everyone apart from
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Dylan Hartley, Owen Farrell, Robshaw, Tuilagi,
0:41:58 > 0:42:01both Vunipolas, Ashton, Youngs,
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Launchberry, Brown and Courtney Lawes.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Everyone else was pointless.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Every other answer was pointless there for England.
0:42:08 > 0:42:09For Ireland now.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Lots of other pointless answers.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18McGrath, Madigan, Marmion, Fitzgerald, Jackson, Ruddock,
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Herring, Cronin, O'Donnell - all of those pointless answers.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Very well done if you said any of those.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26And now for the Wales team.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Again, there'll be lots of names you know here.
0:42:30 > 0:42:31You could have had
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Aaron Jarvis, Bradley Davies, Dan Lydiate, Dominic Day,
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Gethin Jenkins, Matt Morgan, Rob Evans, Samson Lee, Tom James,
0:42:37 > 0:42:41Tomas Francis, Tyler Morgan - loads and loads of pointless answers
0:42:41 > 0:42:44but you only needed one and that was Luke Charteris. Congratulations.
0:42:44 > 0:42:45- Thanks.- Thanks very much Richard.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Thanks to our winning players,
0:42:47 > 0:42:50John and Louis, who go away with today's jackpot of £2,250.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Very well done. APPLAUSE
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge
0:42:58 > 0:42:59to the test on pointless.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
