0:00:16 > 0:00:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome
0:00:23 > 0:00:26to Pointless, the show where we are always striving to find the most
0:00:26 > 0:00:29obscure answers. Let meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Hello, Xander, I'm Ed. This is my son Andrew.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41I'm from Thornbury on Merseyside and Andrew is from Beckenham.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- Couple number two. - Hi, there, I'm Richard.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46This is my son Allistair and we're from Edinburgh.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Couple number three.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Ghausia, this is my sister Sidra and we are from London.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And finally, couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Norma, this is my daughter Anna and we're from Abingdon.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04A very warm welcome to Pointless to each and everyone you. We'll get a
0:01:04 > 0:01:06chance to chat to you throughout the show as it goes along,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Has brains, will travel - it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Hiya.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Hey, everybody. Good afternoon.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Good afternoon to you, sir.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- Good afternoon.- It's like a family special today.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Which is really, really nice. We have Ghausia and Sidra joining
0:01:24 > 0:01:27us again, went through to Round Two last time - sisters.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29And everybody else is parent and child.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Which is rather nice, isn't it? Including, on podium two,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35the couple in Pointless history whose names are most like ours.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38It's the closest we've ever had to a Richard and Alexander.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40A lot of people think I am called Allistair.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43They do, don't they? I did, for the first 700 episodes.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- Yeah, it's true. - But I've got it now.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Absolutely got it. And, actually, on the last show,
0:01:48 > 0:01:52we had a father and daughter in the jackpot round, and they were 5,
0:01:52 > 0:01:554 and 2 with their answers in the jackpot round.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57That's unlucky, isn't it?
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Everyone trying to hide their absolute delight.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- "Oh, no, that's a shame." - WHISPERING:- "Come on!"
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Yes, thank you very much. Yes, Lucy and Steve didn't win the jackpot
0:02:08 > 0:02:11last time, so we add another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot
0:02:11 > 0:02:14starts off at £3,000. There we are.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26So, remember, the pair with the highest score at the end of each
0:02:26 > 0:02:29round will be eliminated, so keep your scores nice and low.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Very, very best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:34 > 0:02:36World Geography.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:39 > 0:02:40who's going to go second?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49OK. And our question concerns...
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Flags with white stripes.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Richard.- We're about to show you a board now with different flags of
0:02:56 > 0:02:58countries of the world, they all have white stripes on them,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01we need you to tell us the name of the country, please.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04To give you a slight extra clue, the flags will be in alphabetical
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- order, the countries will be. - That is kind.- It is kind. As always,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09by "country", we mean a sovereign state
0:03:09 > 0:03:12that is a member of the UN in its own right. As always, by "flag", we
0:03:12 > 0:03:15mean a flappy thing at the top of a pole.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Thank you very much indeed. OK, so we are going to put an image up
0:03:18 > 0:03:21which will have all these flags on it. That will not be changing
0:03:21 > 0:03:24halfway through the round. So let's reveal our image and here it is,
0:03:24 > 0:03:26we have got these.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28There you go.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Very much white stripes flags there.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Now, Ed, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.- Hello.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- And what do you do, Ed?- I'm retired now, I was a police officer.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40For how many years?
0:03:40 > 0:03:4330. I did my 30 years before the mast.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I'm going to say Ed was good cop.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Well, I think Ed probably, in his heart,
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I imagine he could act bad cop if he needed to.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- I suppose so.- To get results. - Yeah, to get results. Absolutely.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Ed, what do you spend your retirement doing?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58What do you like getting up to?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Singing with my Gilbert and Sullivan society is my big hobby now.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Oh, now that's fun. Do you just sing or do you actually put on full,
0:04:04 > 0:04:09- full shows.- The full shows, yeah. - Do you have a favourite opera?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12The Mikado. Got to be The Mikado.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14And you've been in that several times, possibly.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- Well, no, only the once.- Just the once.- So far.- Very good indeed.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Now, Ed, what about these flags?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Is this a good round for you? - Not too bad.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28The top row second, I believe is Botswana.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Botswana, says Ed.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Let's see how many of our 100 people said Botswana.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37It's right.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Down to 2, Ed, what a start to the show.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Very well done indeed. 2 for Botswana.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53That's a terrific start, very well played.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Blue represents water and rain,
0:04:54 > 0:04:57and the black and white is for racial harmony and peace.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- It's a lovely colour, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00It would look nice in the kitchen.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Wouldn't that be nice in the kitchen?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Yeah, don't you think? - Very nice indeed.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I might launch a series of flag kitchens.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- That...- I tell you,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13you'd be interested in the Botswana.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15"Yes, come and have a look at the Botswana."
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Yeah. Very nice. Now then, let's move on.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Let's move on. Before we get carried away.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Thank you very much indeed. Allistair, welcome.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Thank you.- Very good to have you here from Edinburgh.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28What do you do, Allistair?
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- I'm assistant venue manager for a live music venue.- Oh, that is fun.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Whereabouts is your venue?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37It's in the city centre of Edinburgh.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Very good indeed. So how many nights a week do you have live music on?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43We usually only have live music on a Friday and a Saturday,
0:05:43 > 0:05:45but we do open seven days a week.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- Right, and how long have you worked there?- Five years, now.- Very good.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Now, Allistair, what are your interests?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- I imagine music must be important. - Music is one of them,
0:05:53 > 0:05:56but predominantly football is my main sort of... Close to my heart.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Very good. International football?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Cos that could be helpful, I'm just thinking, just thinking,
0:06:02 > 0:06:07just segueing very professionally into the rubric of the show.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Allistair, what would you like to go for on our lovely flags?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I would like to say Estonia.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Estonia, says Allistair. Let's see if that's right.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Let's see how many of our 100 people said Estonia.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23It's right.
0:06:23 > 0:06:262 is our only score so far.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Estonia is beautifully low.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Look at that - 13. Very well done indeed, Allistair.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Yes, there is Estonia on the top right.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Um...possible kitchen. - Yes. Bathroom, I would say.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Nice lino.- Kind of nautical theme to that.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Yes, a nice Marmoleum floor.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Marmoleum.- That would be quite nice.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49You're very good on kitchens.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Thank you.- And bathrooms. - Thank you very much.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Thank you very much indeed. Now, Sidra, welcome back to Pointless.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Last time we had to say goodbye to you in Round Two.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I think this time, we will see much, much more of you.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Sidra, remind us what you do.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07I've just qualified as a junior doctor.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- And you're about to start in Essex. - Yeah.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13So you start in a hospital as a hospital doctor.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- Yeah.- How long will you be in that hospital in Essex?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18So, about a year there, and then a year in a different hospital.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21And how far into that year before they tell you where you go next?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I know where I'll be for the one after, and it's also in Essex.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27That's nice. Good. You don't have to move, or anything.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Well, very, very best of luck.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- Now, how do you like our flag round?- They look very nice.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36My world geography
0:07:36 > 0:07:38is not that strong,
0:07:38 > 0:07:40but there is one flag
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I kind of have to say,
0:07:42 > 0:07:43so I'm going to go for Pakistan.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Pakistan, says Sidra. Let's see if she's right, let's see how many
0:07:46 > 0:07:48of our 100 people said Pakistan.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55It's correct. Our high score is 13 and our low score is 2.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02There we go. 35 for Pakistan.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Well played, Sidra, there it is on the third row on the far right.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07It's a lovely green, isn't it?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10It is a nice green. It's more of an outdoor colour,
0:08:10 > 0:08:11maybe on a summer house.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- That's a nice idea.- Or something like that.- On a veranda.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17A painted wood, a veranda would be lovely, yeah.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Very nice. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Well, we come to you, Norma. A warm welcome to Pointless.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- Here from Abingdon in Yorkshire. - That's right.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28What keeps you busy in Abingdon?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I work as a children's speech and language therapist.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- That must be such a rewarding thing to do.- It's great fun, actually.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37I spend my days sort of playing with little children on the floor,
0:08:37 > 0:08:41getting language samples and analysing them and it is a lovely
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- way to earn a living. - Your treatment and therapy
0:08:43 > 0:08:45is very much bespoke,
0:08:45 > 0:08:47very much on a child by child basis?
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Yes, we do some group work, but, yes, you sort of have to assess
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- and differentially diagnose and get targets for therapy and...- Yeah.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58And when you see the results of the therapy,
0:08:58 > 0:08:59- it must be fantastic.- It's good.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Norma, what do you like doing when you're not working?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06I'm a very keen gardener when I get the time, and I also love cooking,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09and I love growing things in the garden that I can bring into the
0:09:09 > 0:09:12kitchen and cook, particularly chillies.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- I'm very fond of spicy food. - My mouth is now watering.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18What would you like to go for
0:09:18 > 0:09:20on our range of kitchen
0:09:20 > 0:09:22and bathroom colours?
0:09:22 > 0:09:23I think that the Irish flag
0:09:23 > 0:09:25is there, so I will go for
0:09:25 > 0:09:26the Republic of Ireland.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27The Republic of Ireland, says Norma.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33It's right.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Well, 35 is our high score.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40Until now. 55 is our high score. Norma.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- 55.- Yeah, there is Ireland on the second row.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47On the far right. Now, they have the National Ploughing Championships,
0:09:47 > 0:09:51that's 300,000 people turning up, amazingly. Held every year.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54It is a huge agricultural show, as well.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- Right.- But it's... That is the centrepiece of it.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Trying to work out the colour scheme
0:09:58 > 0:10:00that would be nice on maybe curtains
0:10:00 > 0:10:02in a child's bedroom.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04But I would have transfers of jungle
0:10:04 > 0:10:06animals on it as well.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Don't you think?- Very good, yeah. I think that's good.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Yeah.- Something to think about.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14It is. I am now thinking about it.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- Yeah. These are going to get harder, if anything.- They are. They are.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20I'm now going to go back to the round, though. We'll come back to...
0:10:20 > 0:10:22..back to the bedroom.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24LAUGHTER
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Hey, listen,
0:10:25 > 0:10:29it was going to happen sooner or later. So...
0:10:29 > 0:10:31We are halfway through the round.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Let's just get that done first, at least,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36and take a look at the scores while we're at it.
0:10:36 > 0:10:382 is the best score of the round so far.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Very well done indeed, Ed and Andrew.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Looking very strong at this point. Then we travel up to 13,
0:10:43 > 0:10:46which is where we find Allistair and Richard.
0:10:46 > 0:10:4835, Sidra and Ghausia.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Then up to 55.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54So, yes, Norma and Anna, we need a low score from you.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Very best of luck with that. We're going to come back down the line
0:10:57 > 0:11:00right now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- So, Anna, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.- Good to have you here.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Also from Abingdon.- Yeah. - What do you do, Anna?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I'm a maths student at St Andrews University.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- Right, what year are you in? - I've just finished second year.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16St Andrews, that will be two more years, presumably.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- Yeah, it will be.- That's nice.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- Yes.- If you were going into your last year, that would be sad.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- Yeah, very.- What are you doing up there, apart from your maths?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26What other things keep you amused?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I do quite a lot of cooking up there, like my mum.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30So cooking quite a big thing in your family, then?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Yeah, it is with ours, at least.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Yeah, we are the main family chefs, I would say.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Very good indeed. Anna, how are you feeling about these flags?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I don't know.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41I was really excited
0:11:41 > 0:11:43when I saw Botswana,
0:11:43 > 0:11:45because it was a bit of revision
0:11:45 > 0:11:46beforehand, and then the others,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48I was like, obviously there is
0:11:48 > 0:11:49really obvious ones.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Yeah.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53I'm going to say the Netherlands.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55The Netherlands, says Anna.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57No red line for you as you are the high-scorers.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- Yeah.- But let's see how many of our 100 people said the Netherlands.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Oh, no!- Never mind.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Oh, no, I'm sorry.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10That scores you 100 points,
0:12:10 > 0:12:11and takes your total up to 155.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- I'm sorry.- Yes, same colours as some of the flags up there,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17but not the same flag, I'm afraid.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Thank you very much indeed.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- Now then, Ghausia. Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Remind us what you do.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I am a third year natural sciences student, about to go on...
0:12:27 > 0:12:30About to go on into organic chemistry, we discovered last time.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33And what are your interests?
0:12:33 > 0:12:37So, I enjoy video editing and graphic design, that sort of thing.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Wow, that is quite fun. It's rather niche. As a hobby.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44But what a great thing to do. So how did you get into that?
0:12:44 > 0:12:48It was just kind of, I started off just making posters for fun,
0:12:48 > 0:12:52and then I started doing stuff for university, really...
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Yeah.- Just for events and stuff like that.- And now people come to you
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- specifically, and say, "We want YOU to do this."- Yeah.- Really good.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Nice to see your work up about as well,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03being appreciated by a wide audience.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06The good news is you are through to the next round, whatever you score.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Takes a little bit of pressure off.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11But why not see what flags
0:13:11 > 0:13:12you know up there?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15I will go for...
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- France.- France.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19No red line, you are already through.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Let's see how many of our 100 people said France.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25It's right.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28It's very right. Look at that.
0:13:28 > 0:13:3283. That takes your total up to 118.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35They have a pig festival in France
0:13:35 > 0:13:37where people dress up as pigs
0:13:37 > 0:13:39and they have pig races and imitate
0:13:39 > 0:13:42pigs, but they eat sausages.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43That seems a bit much.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48- A celebration of the pig, and they are all...- Eating pig?- Yeah.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50If I was a pig and I saw there was a pig festival, I would think,
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- "Oh, that's nice." - "I'll get in for free."
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Yeah. "I'm going to head down there, it sounds brilliant. Take the kids.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59"How lovely." Suddenly you turn up
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- and realise you've made a pretty bad mistake.- Back out, back out.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- Just keep driving.- That is not for us.- Keep driving.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Thank you very much indeed.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Now, Richard. We come to you, Richard. What do you do?
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I am a financial adviser based in Cheltenham.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Right you are. So you moved down from Edinburgh, did you?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- I have indeed, yeah. - Work brought you down.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24- No, my wife did.- Your...
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I see. And what are your interests, Richard?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30My main interest is probably music.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34I am rediscovering vinyl all over again.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37That sounds... Did you have a vinyl collection earlier, before?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I did, but I don't want to talk about it.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44Oh, no! Your story might be the same as mine.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- I got rid of mine. - Is it in a loft somewhere?
0:14:47 > 0:14:51No! No, I gave it to our builders.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54I had a Lou Reed Transformer
0:14:54 > 0:14:57that my brother had once used as a plate at a barbecue.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00And I had lovingly taken all the fat and tomato ketchup out of every
0:15:00 > 0:15:03groove of that. I had to give it away.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- That is really sad.- Yeah, it is. - Anyway, we'll rediscover it.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- I am.- You and me together.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Wonderful. Richard, what would you like to go for, bearing in mind that
0:15:12 > 0:15:15you are through to Round Two anyway, it doesn't matter what you score.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17It does take the pressure off a bit.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I was thinking about taking a punt
0:15:20 > 0:15:22and I might just do that.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Just going around the alphabet,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I'm going to go for Venezuela.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Venezuela. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Venezuela.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30No red line, you are already through.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Not there, sadly.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36Scores you 100 points.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Couldn't matter less. 113 is your total.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- You are through.- No white stripe on the Venezuelan flag.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42- It has got white stars.- Oh, yes.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45White stars, of course, very nice, again, on a child's ceiling.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- Yeah, very nice. Very nice. - Against maybe a dark blue.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I'm loving the French dark blue.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53That is a beautiful blue.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55It is nice, that blue, isn't it?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I would have that maybe in a...
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Oh, I give up.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01LAUGHTER
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Nice. Andrew, welcome to Pointless.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Great to have you here. What do you do?
0:16:05 > 0:16:09I am a business journalist, specialising in home interiors,
0:16:09 > 0:16:11and in particular kitchens and bathrooms.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16LAUGHTER
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Do you know what? His magazine, for the last, I mean,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22for the last Lord knows how many editions, has been a bit...
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Just been a bit tired.- He is going to be ringing back straight after
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- this, going, "I got an idea!" - Yeah.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Seriously, is that really your area of expertise?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- Yeah, it really is, I'm afraid, yeah.- Very good indeed.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Now, Andrew, so we're not doing your editing.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- Is that what you do? You edit?- Yeah.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Is it just one magazine do you have a whole raft of...?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42I am in charge of two or three magazines.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- A small publisher up in Harrow. - That is fun.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Did you set it up yourself, or...?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49No, no, but I am employed there, I've been there about 15 years.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52But it does mean that I have to tell people I write about toilets
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- for a living.- OK, that's... There are worse things to do.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Andrew, what would you like to go for? Brilliant low score from Ed
0:16:58 > 0:17:01in the first pass. Do you want to throw some names out there and...?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Well, thank goodness for that,
0:17:03 > 0:17:04cos that's just a screen full of
0:17:04 > 0:17:07stripes to me, absolutely useless.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Seeing as we are already through,
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I am going to go for Zimbabwe.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Zimbabwe, says Andrew. No red line, you are already through.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Let's see how many of our 100 people said Zimbabwe. Is it right?
0:17:19 > 0:17:23It is not right, I'm afraid. No Zimbabwe on that board.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25102 is your total.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Let's take a look at what is on the board, though.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29We will start ahead of Botswana
0:17:29 > 0:17:33there, we have Austria. 23.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Next to Botswana we've got Bulgaria,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37would have scored you 11.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38On to the second row now,
0:17:38 > 0:17:40next to France we have Gambia.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41That is a pointless answer,
0:17:41 > 0:17:43very well done if you said that.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44They call themselves The Gambia.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47I always wondered why, and it's cos when Zambia became a new nation,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- they thought people would get confused.- Oh, I see.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Next to Gambia you've got Hungary.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Would have scored you 12.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Now, on the next row down, Italy.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Big scorer - 72 points.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Another pointless answer
0:18:01 > 0:18:03next to that is...
0:18:03 > 0:18:04I do know that one. Madagascar.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06The flag of Madagascar.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Well done if you said that.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Next to Madagascar is Nigeria.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Would have scored you 16 points.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Bottom row, we have Russia.
0:18:14 > 0:18:1823. Then Sierra Leone, on 1.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Thailand, 13.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22And I think the one everyone was trying for, this one
0:18:22 > 0:18:26on the bottom right-hand corner, a pointless answer for Yemen.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Another country that sometimes likes to say "the".
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Yeah, they do like that.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Yemen. The Ukraine as well.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Yeah, lots of them do.- That's so they don't get confused with cranes.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Lots of roads do it as well. The Goldhawk Road.- That's true.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- All sorts of things.- The King's Road.- Yeah, what's that about?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- What is that about? - What is that all about?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46I don't know, what is that all about, Andrew?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- I wish I knew. - He doesn't know, either.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Thank you very much. We are at the end of our first round.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54The pair we have to say goodbye to with their high score of 155,
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- I'm so sorry, Anna and Norma, it is you, but we will see you again next time.- You will.- We look forward
0:18:58 > 0:19:02to that very much indeed. In the meantime, thanks very much for playing. Norma and Anna.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12And so we're down to three pairs.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15At the end of this round, we will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20I have to say, everybody did so well in that round...on the first pass.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Everyone did so badly on that round in the second pass,
0:19:23 > 0:19:24but there we are.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27It got harder, didn't it, as the easier flags were picked up.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Anyway, best of luck to all three pairs for our next category, which is...
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39who's going to go second? And whoever is going first,
0:19:39 > 0:19:40please step up to the podium.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:19:47 > 0:19:53We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many words ending in...
0:19:55 > 0:19:58..as they could. Words ending in K-E-T.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00A fun one, that, isn't it? We are looking for any word in the
0:20:00 > 0:20:03English language, so any word which has its own entry in the British
0:20:03 > 0:20:07& world English section of Oxforddictionarys.com that ends K-E-T.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11As always, no proper nouns, no hyphenated words.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- Thank you very much indeed. - I'm giving up predicting yours.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Haven't got one right for so long.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Mm. I'll keep thinking.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Andrew, always tough going first on a words round.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Well, there is lots of very obvious ones, I think, but got to try and
0:20:25 > 0:20:29pick one that's going to get me a good low score. I think gasket.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- Gasket...- Gasket. - ..says Andrew. Let's see if...
0:20:32 > 0:20:35It has earned you a buzz from the audience, which is nice.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Let's see how many of our 100 people said gasket.
0:20:47 > 0:20:4912.
0:20:52 > 0:20:5412 for gasket.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Yeah, a sheet or ring of rubber or other material between two surfaces.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Usually in an engine, but lots of other machines.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Allistair.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- Yes.- Yeah.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10I've got a couple. It's just which one to go for.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13I think I am going to go with locket.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Locket, says Allistair.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Let's see how many of our 100 people said locket.
0:21:27 > 0:21:2935 for locket.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Yeah, small ornamental case.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Thank you very much, Richard. Now then, Ghausia.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38- Yeah.- What would you like to go for?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41I will go for supermarket.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Oh, you see, that is...
0:21:44 > 0:21:47That is good. Let's see how many of our 100 people said supermarket.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53It's right.
0:21:58 > 0:22:014 for supermarket. There we go.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Very well done indeed.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Yeah, simply where you buy soup.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Thank you very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at our scores.
0:22:13 > 0:22:154 - the best score of the pass, very well done indeed, Ghausia.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18That puts you well ahead of everyone.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Then we travel up to 12 where we find Andrew and Ed.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Then up to 35 where we find Allistair and Richard.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28So, Richard, yes, we need a nice low supermarket-like score from you on
0:22:28 > 0:22:31the next pass, and see if that is enough to keep you in the game.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34We are going to come back down the line, now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:38 > 0:22:43OK, Sidra, we are looking for words that end in K-E-T.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46OK. I am going to go for casket.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Casket. Here is your red line.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51If you can get below this red line with casket
0:22:51 > 0:22:55you are through to the next round. How many of our 100 people said it?
0:22:59 > 0:23:00It's right.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Yes!- Very well done indeed. 23. Gets you through.
0:23:07 > 0:23:1027 is your total.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- Good answer there. Safely through. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19- Richard.- Yes.- Now, you are the high-scorers, as you know,
0:23:19 > 0:23:24but there might be a low-scoring answer in there.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25There may well be.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- I'm not sure it's coming from me. - Ah, right.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32I'm going to go... I'm not sure if this is hyphenated,
0:23:32 > 0:23:34but I'm going to go with the same theme as earlier
0:23:34 > 0:23:39- and go for hypermarket. - Hypermarket.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42There's another buzz there. I think that's the buzz of risk as well.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46We're all weighing up the hyphen possibilities there, aren't we?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Hypermarket. Let's find out. No red line for you.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Let's see how many of 100 people said it. Is it right?
0:23:56 > 0:23:57It is right.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01It is right. Supermarket scored 4.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02Hypermarket...
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Scores 2! Look at that! Very well done indeed.
0:24:05 > 0:24:0837 is your total.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Have you done enough, I wonder, to save yourselves?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Yeah, it's a very good answer.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Yeah, that's a supermarket that everybody is talking about.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- Hypermarket. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Now then, Ed.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21You have a target, which is 24.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Right. I also had hypermarket but I've got a couple of backups.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28I will go for junket.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Junket.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Junket, OK. There is your red line.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Let's see how many of our 100 people said junket.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Very well done. That gets you through, down to 5 for junket.
0:24:48 > 0:24:5017.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Yeah, it is a pudding but also a free trip.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Often given as a gift.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Journalists often go on junkets.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Do they not? In the interiors world?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- They used to, yeah.- Yeah.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06My grandma used to make junkets,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- a sort of milky pudding with a layer of...- A kind of, yeah,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- with curds and all sorts.- Mm. - You don't look happy about it.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16No, I didn't used to be, I'm now thinking it might be rather nice.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- Now I've grown up. - How long ago was it?
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Well, no, we would have to make it again.- Oh, I see what you mean.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- But, yeah.- You've got to be very careful.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Yeah.- Have you got an answer?
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Brisket. It is not very...
0:25:27 > 0:25:29At last! At last!
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- There we go!- At last! Thank you very much.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34I knew it.
0:25:37 > 0:25:408 points. 8 points for brisket.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42I knew... See, because around about this time of day,
0:25:42 > 0:25:44like everyone at home, he is hungry.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- I know he is. So anything that is food-related.- There you go.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49There is lots of pointless answers here.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Let's take a look at a few of them.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53I'll go through the low scores before we do that.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Below supermarket you would have got 2 for snicket
0:25:56 > 0:25:58and for crocket and for pickpocket.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01And you would have got 1 point four becket and skyrocket.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Skyrocket would have been a lovely answer.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Let's take a look at some of the pointless ones.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Breadbasket - a pointless answer.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Downmarket. That is a great answer.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- Yeah.- Gutbucket.- Lovely. - Too much brisket and junket.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Multipacket, which actually is a ship, it's not... To my mind,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22that would be six packs of crisps in one go, but it is not.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25A multipack. Outcricket.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Which means the bit where you're not batting.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Straitjacket. Pointless answer.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Unpocket. Upmarket. And wastebasket. There's some great answers.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37It's interesting with that hypermarket one,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40everyone is very worried about the hyphens,
0:26:40 > 0:26:42which is why lots of these things are pointless answers.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Let's take a look at the top three. The ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Thanks very much indeed. So, at the end of our second round,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00the pair we are saying goodbye to, with the high score of 37,
0:27:00 > 0:27:04not a high score at all, but Richard and Allistair, I'm afraid, it is the highest score.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06So it is you we bid a fond farewell to.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- We will see you again next time. We look forward to it very much.- Yeah.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Thanks very much for playing, Richard and Allistair.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15But for the remaining two players, it is now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Congratulations, Ed and Andrew, Ghausia and Sidra, you are now
0:27:23 > 0:27:26one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:27:26 > 0:27:30which currently stands at £3,000. There it is.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35So we are in the head-to-head. You are now allowed to confirm.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42This is nice. It's a father-son versus sisters head-to-head.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Boys versus girls.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Yes, Ed and Andrew on their first appearance here on Pointless,
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Ghausia and Sidra have a bit more Pointless experience behind them.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Yes, this could go either way. I wouldn't really want to call it.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57But best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06Here is your first question. And it concerns...
0:28:08 > 0:28:10LAUGHTER
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- Richard.- I'm so sorry, that is actually just the dress code
0:28:13 > 0:28:16for the Pointless Christmas party. We are going to give you five clues
0:28:16 > 0:28:18to facts about monks and nuns.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Can you give us the most pointless answer?
0:28:21 > 0:28:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Let's reveal our five clues. And here they come.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50I'll read those again.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Ed and Andrew, you will go first.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13I could have a stab
0:29:13 > 0:29:15at the bottom one.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17A couple of the others are pretty
0:29:17 > 0:29:20obvious. I'll go for the top one,
0:29:20 > 0:29:22which is Buckfast Abbey.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Buckfast Abbey, say Ed and Andrew. Now then, Ghausia and Sidra,
0:29:25 > 0:29:30do you feel like talking us through the rest of that board?
0:29:30 > 0:29:32So the US actress...
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Go on. You go for it.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- Whoopi Goldberg.- Yeah.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40The art historian, no idea.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- Also The Canterbury Tales... - Don't know that.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Last one, potentially Buddhism.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Do you want to risk it?
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Whoopi Goldberg will be high, but...
0:29:51 > 0:29:54But rather an obvious answer.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Yeah.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59I don't know, maybe we should just go for Buddhism.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- That is going to be pretty low, isn't it?- Yeah. OK. We're going to
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- say the last one, Buddhism. - Buddhism. So we have Buckfast Abbey
0:30:05 > 0:30:06and we have Buddhism.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Ed and Andrew said Buckfast Abbey.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Let's see if that is right, for the Devon monastery.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Let's see how many people said it.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15It's right.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24Oh, that's a good answer! 18 for Buckfast Abbey.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Ghausia and Sidra, meanwhile,
0:30:27 > 0:30:30have gone for Buddhism for the last one, the bhikkhu monk.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Let's see how many of our 100 people said Buddhism.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37It's right.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42That's a good answer!
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Oh! 21. 21 for Buddhism.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Very good. I knew this was going to be close.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50But very well done. And, Ed and Andrew, after one question,
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- you are up 1-0.- Two terrific answers there, very well done.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56I went to a Buddhist temple when I was in China,
0:30:56 > 0:31:00and it is an amazing place. The chief monk, the chief Buddhist
0:31:00 > 0:31:03was walking through, and I said to the person I was with,
0:31:03 > 0:31:05"Is there any way I can get a photograph?" He looked amazing.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08She said, "No, they would never... It's just not what they do.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10"This is work for them," and blah, blah, blah.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12And then he turned round, he saw me, he saw how tall I was,
0:31:12 > 0:31:15and this is China, he walked over to the person I was with and just
0:31:15 > 0:31:18whispered, and she said, "He just asked if he can have a photo taken with you?"
0:31:21 > 0:31:24I went, "No, no, I won't..."
0:31:24 > 0:31:27"For me, this is what I do. I am tall."
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Now, you were right about Whoopi Goldberg.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31You were right to avoid it as well.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34She would have scored you 68 points.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Canterbury Tales is...
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Geoffrey Chaucer.
0:31:38 > 0:31:39He would have scored you 34.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41And the best answer on the board,
0:31:41 > 0:31:437 points for Sister Wendy,
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Sister Wendy Beckett. Very well done if you said that.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48- 7 points. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Here comes your second question.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Ghausia and Sidra, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55But you get to answer it first, so you have a slight advantage here.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59Good luck. Our second question is all about...
0:32:01 > 0:32:05- Richard.- I will show you five pictures now of famous Trevors.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08But who is the least famous of our famous Trevors?
0:32:08 > 0:32:12There we are. OK, let's reveal our Trevors.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15It's Trevors away. And we have...
0:32:40 > 0:32:45There we are. Five famous Trevors.
0:32:45 > 0:32:51OK, now, Ghausia and Sidra, you feel free to confer
0:32:51 > 0:32:54- over the Trevors. - I don't think we need to.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56We both know which one we know.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- So...- Go on.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01C, Trevor McDonald.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04C, Trevor McDonald.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06OK, now, Ed and Andrew,
0:33:06 > 0:33:10talk us through the other Trevors, if you like.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14Don't know E. I think A is Trevor Nunn, we think.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17B is Trevor Eve. C, Trevor McDonald.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19D, Trevor Brooking.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Go for Trevor Nunn.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24OK. A, Trevor Nunn, say Ed and Andrew.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26So, we have Trevor McDonald and we have Trevor Nunn.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30Now, Ghausia and Sidra went for Trevor McDonald, for C.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Let see how many of our 100 people got McDonald.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35100.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36It's right.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Oh, that is a big score there. 84.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Ed and Andrew, meanwhile, have gone for Trevor Nunn, for A.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55It's right, and it wins you the point, is the crucial one.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01There we are. 10.
0:34:01 > 0:34:0410 for the lovely Trevor Nunn, and that means, very well done,
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Ed and Andrew. After only two questions,
0:34:06 > 0:34:08you are straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11It has been very NUNN-heavy, this head-to-head, hasn't it?
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Let's fill these in, shall we?
0:34:13 > 0:34:17- B is...- Trevor Eve. - Trevor Eve.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19He would have scored you 36.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- D is...- Trevor Brooking.- Yeah.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27He would have scored you 21. The best answer on the board is E,
0:34:27 > 0:34:30the first hairstylist to get an MBE from the Queen.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Trevor Sorbie.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35- I love a sorbet.- 2 points.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36I like a lemon sorbet.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Oh, do you?
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head,
0:34:43 > 0:34:44I'm afraid it is Ghausia and Sidra.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46It's been lovely having you on both shows,
0:34:46 > 0:34:48and you came so close to the final,
0:34:48 > 0:34:50but I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Thanks so much for playing. Ghausia and Sidra.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59But for Ed and Andrew, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Congratulations, Ed and Andrew.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06You have fought off all the competition,
0:35:06 > 0:35:09and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:17 > 0:35:21and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £3,000.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29I have to say, this is a textbook Pointless smash-and-grab, I mean,
0:35:29 > 0:35:32you come in, first show, low score, low score, low score.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35The only blot on your copybook was Zimbabwe.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36I mean, I don't want to jinx it,
0:35:36 > 0:35:39but usually that kind of Pointless career,
0:35:39 > 0:35:41I think, tends to finish with a nice jackpot.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Let's hope so.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47What would you like to see on the board behind me?
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Something history.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51- Possibly, yeah.- We haven't had any good movie questions yet.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55OK, yeah. You would be happy with that? Well, very best of luck.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Let's hope there is something on the board that you like the look of.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Today's selection reads like this. We have got...
0:36:10 > 0:36:14Would you like that in tens or fives or what?
0:36:14 > 0:36:15I think...
0:36:15 > 0:36:18I would be tempted by Decades of Formula 1.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20But I think you're going to know more about Quentin Tarantino.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Look at it this way, I know zero about Formula 1.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25- Right, OK, then.- So you would be on your own with that one.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- Quentin Tarantino it is, then. - Quentin Tarantino films, yeah.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30OK. Quentin Tarantino it is.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33OK, we are looking for any cast member of any of the following three
0:36:33 > 0:36:37films, according to IMDb, all Quentin Tarantino movies.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39We are looking for anyone who appeared in...
0:36:47 > 0:36:50So anyone according to IMDb who acted in any of those three films,
0:36:50 > 0:36:54apart from Quentin Tarantino himself. Very, very best of luck.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Thank you very much. Now, as always, you have got up to one minute
0:36:57 > 0:37:00to come up with the answers, and all you need to win the jackpot is for
0:37:00 > 0:37:03just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:03 > 0:37:05- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Jackie Brown herself was Pam Grier.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12So I don't think she would be that well-known. Probably?
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Bridget Fonda was in it as well.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Robert De Niro shoots her.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20She would be quite good, I think. Reservoir Dogs...
0:37:20 > 0:37:23A bit more tricky. Steve Buscemi.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Tim Roth.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Django Unchained, I'm a bit...
0:37:29 > 0:37:33I've only seen that once. A bit trickier, that one.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- That's once more than I have. - Yeah.- So, Samuel L Jackson...
0:37:37 > 0:37:40Uh...
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Yeah, let's go for Bridget Fonda.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Pam Grier.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- And Tim Roth. - OK.- Yeah?- OK.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49And you don't know who any of them are, do you?
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Well, I've heard of two of them.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Well done. Hopefully the one you haven't heard of is a good shout.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58Do you want to just use the rest of the minute to mull over any others?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00I can't think of anyone else in Django Unchained.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Samuel L Jackson...
0:38:02 > 0:38:05I can't think of anyone else who would be...
0:38:05 > 0:38:08OK. The ball is in your court, yeah.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10OK. There we are. Your time is now up.
0:38:10 > 0:38:11Let's have your three answers.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13OK, we are going to go for, from Jackie Brown,
0:38:13 > 0:38:15- we are going to go Bridget Fonda. - Bridget Fonda.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- Pam Grier.- Pam Grier.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- From Reservoir Dogs, we are going to go Tim Roth.- Tim Roth. OK. Of those
0:38:20 > 0:38:22three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:22 > 0:38:24- Bridget Fonda? - Bridget Fonda goes last.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26The least likely to be Pointless?
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- Tim Roth.- Tim Roth, we'll put him first.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Very good. Pam Grier in the middle.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37And here they are. We have got Tim Roth, we have got Pam Grier,
0:38:37 > 0:38:40and we've got Bridget Fonda. Well, three good answers there.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Are they good enough, I wonder, for you to win the jackpot of £3,000?
0:38:43 > 0:38:45What would you like to do with that
0:38:45 > 0:38:47if one of these turns out to be a pointless answer, Ed?
0:38:47 > 0:38:51I will probably end up spending most of it on my grandson, anyway,
0:38:51 > 0:38:54so I will give my half straight over to his dad.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56So I'm laughing either way.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Oh, Andrew, how about you?
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Well, think we could take my son and my missus
0:39:01 > 0:39:03on a very nice holiday,
0:39:03 > 0:39:08or I might just not tell them and buy myself a big telly.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10LAUGHTER
0:39:10 > 0:39:14OK, it will be our little secret, Andrew. Yeah.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17OK, well, very best of luck. Your first answer was Tim Roth.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20In this case, we were looking for cast members from Reservoir Dogs.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23If this is pointless, it will win you £3,000.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Let's see how many of our 100 people said Tim Roth.
0:39:28 > 0:39:29It's right.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Now, if this goes all the way down to zero, as I say,
0:39:33 > 0:39:34you will leave with £3,000.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Tim Roth now takes us down through the 20s...into the teens...
0:39:38 > 0:39:42Oh! Not quite into single figures there. 11 for Tim Roth.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47That is why you put him first, though.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50We now move into slightly more obscure territory.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Your next answer was Pam Grier.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Now, in this case, we are looking for Jackie Brown cast members.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58This has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot of £3,000,
0:39:58 > 0:40:02so let's see how many people said Pam Grier.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05It's right.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Your first answer, Tim Roth, took us down to 11.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Pam Grier now takes us down
0:40:10 > 0:40:12through the 30s, into the 20s.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Down into the teens. We have passed 11, into single figures.
0:40:15 > 0:40:178, there we are. Pam Grier. 8.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24These are all very good scores, by the way. Very good scores indeed.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Just annoyingly, we only accept pointless answers this last round.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30We move on to your third and final answer, which is Bridget Fonda.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Again, we are in Jackie Brown territory.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34We are looking for any cast member of that film.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37If this is pointless, it will win you £3,000.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41How many people said Bridget Fonda for Jackie Brown? Is it pointless?
0:40:44 > 0:40:48Well, it's right. Your first answer, Tim Roth, took us down to 11.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Pam Grier they took us down to 8.
0:40:50 > 0:40:55Bridget Fonda now takes us down, past 11, past 8, down we are going,
0:40:55 > 0:40:57still going down. Oh! 2!
0:41:03 > 0:41:06You ordered those answers immaculately,
0:41:06 > 0:41:10can I just say? Very good answers, all three of them.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13And Bridget Fonda, particularly, getting us down to 2.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16So close, we were within touching distance of that pointless answer
0:41:16 > 0:41:19and the jackpot, but I'm afraid you did not manage to get it,
0:41:19 > 0:41:22so the jackpot will roll over on to the next show,
0:41:22 > 0:41:25but it's been fabulous having you here. What a brilliant performance,
0:41:25 > 0:41:28- right the way across.- Thank you. - You can be very proud of that.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31And you get a Pointless trophy each to take home in recognition.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33- That's what we came for. - Ed and Andrew, very good indeed.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Yeah, a valiant effort there.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Well played. Let's take a look at these pointless answers.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Jackie Brown, you could have had Aimee Graham,
0:41:44 > 0:41:45the US comic Chris Tucker,
0:41:45 > 0:41:47who is in the Rush Hour films with Jackie Chan.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Michael Bowen from Breaking Bad, a pointless answer. Robert Forster
0:41:50 > 0:41:52was nominated for an Oscar for his performance in Jackie Brown,
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Best Supporting Actor.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56He is a pointless answer. Everyone in the film is a pointless answer,
0:41:56 > 0:41:59apart from Samuel L Jackson, Pam Grier, Robert De Niro,
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Bridget Fonda and Michael Keaton. Everybody else, a pointless answer.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Reservoir Dogs, now...
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Mr Blue, Edward Bunker,
0:42:06 > 0:42:08also a crime novelist, was a pointless answer.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Kirk Baltz. He plays the kidnapped cop.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14And Lawrence Tierney, who is Joe Cabot, and Stephen Wright,
0:42:14 > 0:42:16the US comedian, who is the voice-over on the radio
0:42:16 > 0:42:17in Reservoir Dogs.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21Everyone in that film, apart from Harvey Keitel and Michael Madsen, Tim Roth and Steve Buscemi
0:42:21 > 0:42:24are pointless answers. Chris Penn would have scored you 1 point.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28He plays Nice Guy Eddie. And Django Unchained now.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Some very famous actors.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Here, Bruce Dern, a pointless answer.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Jonah Hill, Don Johnson, Russ Tamblyn.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Everyone apart from Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx,
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Samuel L Jackson, Kerry Washington, Christophe Waltz and Franco Nero.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Everyone else a pointless answer.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45- Very well done if you got one at home.- Thank you very much, Richard.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47And thank you, Ed and Andrew, who, very sadly,
0:42:47 > 0:42:48didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:48 > 0:42:52which means it rolls over onto the next show, when we be playing
0:42:52 > 0:42:54for £4,000.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Join us then to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye
0:42:59 > 0:43:03- from Richard...- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
