0:00:15 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27the show where we are always striving
0:00:27 > 0:00:29to find the most obscure answers.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40I'm Sue and I'm from Berkshire and this is my great friend Jane,
0:00:40 > 0:00:41who is from Surrey.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Couple number two.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46I'm Linda and this is Liz and we're friends from Lockerbie.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Couple number three.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hello, I'm Lauren and this is my grandad Roger and we're from Essex.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And finally, couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Angela, this is my friend Nick,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58I'm from south-west London and Nick is from High Wycombe.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01APPLAUSE
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06We'll get to find out more about each of you throughout the show as it goes along, of course.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Here to apply more pressure than a sumo's loin knot...
0:01:12 > 0:01:14LAUGHTER Let's hope it holds.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- Hiya. Hey, everybody. - APPLAUSE
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Afternoon.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22A sumo's loin knot?
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- Yeah.- That is not an expression I've ever heard before.- No.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Is that what...? That ties up their sort of nappy?- I think so.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- Mawashi, I think they call... - It's called a mawashi?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Yeah, I believe it is. I don't know what the knot is called.- No.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- But I'm glad they're there. - ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Two returning pairs, Jane and Sue got through to that very,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43very high quality head-to-head last time, as well.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Angela and Nick,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46hopefully we'll see a little bit more of you this time.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Now, before the show, we always walk along and chat to people
0:01:49 > 0:01:52and, you know, say, "How are you feeling?"
0:01:52 > 0:01:56And Roger, literally, like an assassin...
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- GENTLE LAUGHTER - "Are you nervous, Roger?" No.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01And I believe him. Normally if I say, "Are you nervous?"
0:02:01 > 0:02:03And people say no, I don't believe them. Roger...
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Nerves of steel, that guy.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09I've no idea if he knows the answer to any questions...
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- LAUGHTER - Well, that we'll find out.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14But nothing else is going to faze him, I guarantee you that.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Fantastic...- If there's trouble at all in the studio...- It's Roger.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19We'll all... No.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22We'll follow Roger. Roger leads us.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Roger becomes...
0:02:23 > 0:02:26If this ends up just us, civilisation,
0:02:26 > 0:02:30could happen, er, Roger will be our king.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Is that...? Lauren, good idea?- Yeah.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- No. - LAUGHTER
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Arthur and Steph won the jackpot last time,
0:02:40 > 0:02:44so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000, there it is.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48APPLAUSE
0:02:51 > 0:02:54OK, remember this, the pair with the highest score at the end
0:02:54 > 0:02:56of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58That's the rule you have to remember.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00No conferring till we get to the head-to-head, of course.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category today is...
0:03:05 > 0:03:06Political Leaders.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11THEY CONFER
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18OK. And the question concerns...
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Prime Ministers Around The World, Richard.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25On each board, we're going to show you some lists of people,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28all of whom have been prime ministers of the same country.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31We need you to name the country. There'll be seven on the first board,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33seven on the second, 14 in all to have a go at at home.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Very best of luck.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36OK, so we're looking for the countries
0:03:36 > 0:03:38that these prime ministers have governed.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Here's our first board of seven...
0:03:40 > 0:03:42GENTLE LAUGHTER
0:04:12 > 0:04:14We're only halfway through, I've got to do it again, now.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15OK... GENTLE LAUGHTER
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Good, you're all still here. Fine. GENTLE LAUGHTER
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Sue, welcome back.- Hello.- Welcome back. Now, head-to-head last time.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Got very, very exciting.- Yes.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Oh, Krakatoa came to your aid.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53I don't know where I got that from.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Who cares? It was a great answer. Just at the right time.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Now, Sue, remind us what you like getting up to.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Apart from looking after grandchildren,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- occasionally now, cos most of them are at school...- Yeah.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07I like reading, crosswords, travel.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Which crosswords do you like doing?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Is there...? Is there a particular paper that you like...?
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- The paper, the Telegraph.- Oh, that's a good one.- Yes.- That's a good one.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- Yes, yeah.- How long does it take you generally, Sue?
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Is it a daytime's travail,
0:05:20 > 0:05:23or is it something you knock off in five minutes?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Two or three weeks... - LAUGHTER
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Sue, how are you feeling about our prime ministers here?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I'm going to play safe.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Malcolm Turnbull, et cetera, Australia.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Australia, says Sue. Let's see if that's right,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43let's see how many of our 100 people said Australia.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46It's right.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Ooh.
0:05:49 > 0:05:5161 for Australia. APPLAUSE
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Not bad.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Yes, solid start.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Do you know they used to have wombats the size of rhinos
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- in Australia? - ALEXANDER GASPS
0:05:59 > 0:06:00I mean, millennia ago, or...?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Oh, yeah. Not like in the last 20 years.- Oh, I see.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- We'd have heard...- We'd have heard about that, surely.- Exactly.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- That's a big wombat. - I mean, imagine.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12I tell you what, a rhino the size of a wombat, that would be quite sweet.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13GENTLE LAUGHTER Yeah.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Aw...- That would be nice, then we could have little pet rhinos.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- Aw.- Aw.- Aw. Oh, you'd want them house-trained, wouldn't you?
0:06:20 > 0:06:21- A rhino?- Pet rhino, yeah.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24I tell you what, you'd always have someone to get your keys.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26LAUGHTER
0:06:26 > 0:06:28ALEXANDER WHEEZES Thank you very much indeed.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- No, but it would run away.- Oh, yeah.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- You're going to hear it.- Oh, yeah. - Jangle, jangle.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34GENTLE LAUGHTER
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Erm... Now then, Linda.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here, from Lockerbie.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Yes.- What do you do, Linda? - I'm a roads technician.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Now, hang on, what's a roads technician?
0:06:44 > 0:06:49Erm, organise and supervise surfacing and patching and drainage.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Everything to do with...maintenance.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Do you get to go round with a spray can?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- LINDA LAUGHS - Sometimes.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Now, that's fun, isn't it? Ah, I'd love to do that.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02And what are your interests, Linda?
0:07:02 > 0:07:07I like socialising, exercising, walking my dog, listening to music.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Very good indeed. Now, Linda,
0:07:09 > 0:07:11what would you like to go for on this board?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13This is the worst subject for me.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18I'll go for the second bottom one and try Russia.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Fradkov, Medvedev and Putin, Russia, says Linda.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people got it.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28It is Russia. Eeh... Look at that.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Look, it's five better than 100.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34APPLAUSE 95 for Russia.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- That's Putin doing a lot of that, I think.- Yeah.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Yeah.- Mind you, when it comes to heavy lifting, he can do it.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Oh, he really, really can. - I mean...
0:07:42 > 0:07:45You know, there are 11 million more women than there are men in Russia.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Is there a...? Why? Why?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Why?- A number of reasons.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51A number of reasons, one of which was to do with, er,
0:07:51 > 0:07:55with wombats the size of rhinos, which we cannot go into.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57There you are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Roger, welcome to Pointless, here from Essex.- Yeah.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- What do you do, Roger? - I'm a retired postman.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06When did you...? When did you finish...posting?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Postman-ing?- About 22 years ago.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- And how do you fill your retirement, Roger?- I play darts.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17Er, we've got a league that we play darts in, in Waltham Abbey.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22Erm, I collect photographs of myself with celebrities.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26I notice Roger hasn't asked for a photograph with either you or me.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Well, he... He asked for one with me.- Oh.- Did he not...?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31LAUGHTER
0:08:33 > 0:08:35People talk about selfies now,
0:08:35 > 0:08:39but I've been doing it for 50-odd years, so...
0:08:39 > 0:08:41You always had to collar someone else to take the picture?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Well, no, I sort of... - You'd...? Oh, that's clever.- Yeah.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48What's the most exciting celebrity in your collection?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Who, I should say, is the most exciting celebrity?
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Don't know. Muhammad Ali, Diana? Princess Diana?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Wow. And you've got photographs with all of them?- Yeah, yeah...
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Oh... So how big is the collection?- Oh, quite a few.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Thousands.- Quite a few.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04LAUGHTER
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Impressive, Roger. Now, what would you like to go for from our board?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Is there anyone on that board you've taken a photograph with?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- No.- Ah...- Er...
0:09:14 > 0:09:18I'm going to take a chance on the third one down and say Greece.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Greece for Tsipras, Samaras and Papademos.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Greece, says Roger.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29It is right, 60...
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Oh, 74 is your score there.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34APPLAUSE
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Yeah, got more and more in the news, especially with Tsipras,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40that's why it scores quite so highly, 74.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43It's compulsory to vote in Greece between the ages of 18 and 70.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45See, that's good. That is good.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Yeah, I think if you're given a "none of the above option",
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- I think... It seems sensible.- Yeah.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Angela.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Hello.- Angela, it was Round One last time we had to say goodbye to you.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- I know!- Please tell me that's not going to happen again this time.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02It's not in my hands at the moment.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06It slightly is, but anyway, yes, we'll come to that in a moment.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- Remind us what you do, Angela. - OK, I work for the NHS.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I'm Digital Communications Manager at London North West Healthcare
0:10:11 > 0:10:14and I'm based at Northwick Park Hospital.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Very good.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18And when the digital stuff is finished at the end of each day,
0:10:18 > 0:10:19what delights you?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22I like to watch football, I'm a big Chelsea FC fan.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27Erm, I like to read and I love to do a bit of creative writing, as well.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Oh, do you? What sort of creative writing to you like doing?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31I like doing teenage novels,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34I've had a few published. I like writing for children, as well.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37That's impressive. What books have you had published? What are they?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Couple back in the '90s that were aimed at Asian teenagers,
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- cos there really wasn't anything around then.- Yeah.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- So, yeah. They did OK. - Congratulations, very good indeed.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Now, Angela, we come back to this thorny issue of prime ministers.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- I... Yes, yes, erm... - Yes, exactly.- Erm...
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Yes.- I'm going to have to make an educated guess,
0:10:55 > 0:10:56looking at the names.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59You know, sometimes it works to people's advantage,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01being on that far podium, cos it encourages you to take
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- a risk you wouldn't otherwise have taken. - OK, I'm going to go for China.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Good, for which one?
0:11:06 > 0:11:11- The bottom one! - OK, for the bottom one. OK, China.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Shall we see if that's right? Shall we see how many people said it?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- Oh!- Ooh.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- Oh, God...- Oh, Angela.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I think that was an educated guess.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- It was very, well, uneducated. - It was very...
0:11:24 > 0:11:25No, it was an educated guess.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28It was, it turns out it was wrong, but, um...
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Still educated. It's exactly what I would've said.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Scored you 100 points, I'm afraid.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I bet it's not the last 100 of the round.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Yeah, none of them Chinese politicians, I'm afraid.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Singapore is the answer to that.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Actually our 100 did very well, got seven points.- Wow.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44So very well done to our 100.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Now the top one, the big clue there is Olof Palme,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- who was very famously assassinated. - Sweden.- Sweden, yeah.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Would've scored you 19.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Nasser, probably the big clue on the next one down.- Egypt.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Egypt, yeah.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Would've scored you 43.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Now the best answer on the board,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02very well done, anyone at home, who got this.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Hard to work out with the language, bits of it look kind of Asian,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- bits of it look Finnish.- Yeah. - It's Albania.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09Albania.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Two points for that, so again, very well done to our 100.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Our 100 are brilliant. - Well, that's...
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- Yeah, or Albanian, one or the other. - LAUGHTER
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:12:20 > 0:12:2361, the best score of the pass, very well done indeed, Sue.
0:12:23 > 0:12:2674 is where we find Roger and Lauren.
0:12:26 > 0:12:2995 is where we find Linda and Liz and then 100 is where we find
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Angela and Nick.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33The nice thing is it's been a very high-scoring round, Nick.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- So you're not too far out in front there.- OK.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36A nice low score from you
0:12:36 > 0:12:38should keep you in the game,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40so good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48OK, let's put seven more lists of prime ministers up on the board.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50And here they come.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51We've got...
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Thanks, Steve.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18GENTLE LAUGHTER And...
0:13:21 > 0:13:23ALEXANDER EXHALES DEEPLY
0:13:49 > 0:13:51APPLAUSE Oh, thank you.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I feel like someone should hand me one of those
0:13:56 > 0:13:58sort of foil blankets at the end of that.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- Nick...- Hello. - Well done. You've made it.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Welcome back. Welcome back.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Remind us what you do. - I work for the NHS, as well.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I'm a communications and marketing manager, based in the Midlands.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12So how do you and Angela...? I mean, obviously, I know Angela
0:14:12 > 0:14:14works in digital communications,
0:14:14 > 0:14:16so I can think of any number of reasons how you might know
0:14:16 > 0:14:19each other, but did you work together at the same place?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21We both work for the NHS now.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I started my job at the NHS just yesterday,
0:14:23 > 0:14:27but we met when we worked at a local council in Buckinghamshire.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Oh, I see. That's nice. And you've remained friends ever since.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Whose idea was it to come on the show?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- It was, it was mine. - THEY LAUGH
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- There we are. And Angela, the obvious person to bring.- Yeah...
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Of course. Of course. Now, you know what you have to do here, Nick.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- OK.- You have to find a lovely low score. Are you feeling confident?
0:14:44 > 0:14:49I could have an educated guess at a few of them, just by the language.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51But I'm going to go with a very safe one, which is
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Pierre Trudeau, Justin Trudeau, Stephen Harper, that's Canada.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Canada, says Nick.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58No red line, you're the high-scorers,
0:14:58 > 0:15:01let's see how far down the column you can get with Canada.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03It's right.
0:15:06 > 0:15:0761.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10APPLAUSE 161 is your score.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11I think you might have done enough
0:15:11 > 0:15:13to keep yourselves in the game there.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Yeah, supposedly the Hawaiian pizza was invented in Canada.
0:15:16 > 0:15:17By a Greek.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19GENTLE LAUGHTER
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- How extraordinary.- Yeah.- How...
0:15:24 > 0:15:26ALEXANDER EXHALES DEEPLY Did you know that, Lauren?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Yeah...- Yeah? THEY LAUGH
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Lauren, what do you do?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32I'm studying to be a classical singer
0:15:32 > 0:15:34and also studying music theory.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36I'm going to say mezzo soprano.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- Exactly.- Yay! Look at that.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40And what sort of singing do you do?
0:15:40 > 0:15:44More opera singing, or is it more choral style, or...?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46It's more opera singing...
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Right.- ..at the moment.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- I'm just kind of going through my grades.- Very good. Well done, that's fantastic.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54And when not doing that, what are you getting up to?
0:15:54 > 0:16:00I'm very much into Japan and Japanese culture, cosplay, anime...
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Things like that, really.- Very good. Have you been to Japan?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- No, not yet. It's on my wish list. - Very good. Win the jackpot today,
0:16:07 > 0:16:09put it towards a trip to Japan, I think, Lauren.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Now, there you are on 74. 161's the high score.
0:16:12 > 0:16:1486 or less sees you through.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18So, that shouldn't be too much of a stretch. Well, I say that.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Then I look at that board and... THEY LAUGH
0:16:20 > 0:16:22I'm torn between going for a risky one
0:16:22 > 0:16:24or one that I'm pretty sure I know.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26SHE SIGHS
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I'm going to go for the second one, Shinzo, Yoshihiko, Naoto,
0:16:29 > 0:16:31for Japan.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Surely, Japan. Let's see.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Here is your red line, nice and high.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Get below that with Japan, you're through to the next round.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42It's right.
0:16:43 > 0:16:4662, very well done indeed.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Gets you through, takes your total up to 136.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Yeah, well, you had to go for that one, really, didn't you?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Yeah, Abe Shinzo's grandfather and great uncle were both
0:16:54 > 0:16:56prime ministers of Japan as well.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Thank you very much. Liz, welcome to Pointless.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- Thank you.- Great to have you here. What you do?- I'm retired now.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- What did you do?- I worked with the local government, admin.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08You weren't anything to do with the roads as well, where you?
0:17:08 > 0:17:09- Yes. - HE GASPS
0:17:09 > 0:17:12So, did you and Linda meet on the roads? On the tarmac?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- Yes, yes, we did.- Were you desk-bound or did you get out
0:17:15 > 0:17:16- to the roads?- I was desk-bound. - I see.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19But, presumably, you drove on those roads to get there.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- So, you had first-hand experience. - Well, on my bicycle I did anyway.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Oh, that's even more first-hand.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26That's more than just first-hand, that's first...
0:17:26 > 0:17:29A lot. What are your interests now, Liz? What do you like getting into?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- I like walking in the country. - Lovely.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Doing cryptic crosswords. - Very good.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Can I ask...? Now I've started, I've got to continue.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- What cryptic crosswords to you like? - The Daily Mail, which isn't too bad.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- You know, not too difficult. - Not too difficult.- No.- Very good.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Sudoko. And I like going to the horse racing as well.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- Very good. A lot of good racing around you.- Yes.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Fantastic. Now, Liz, there you are on 95.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56The high score is still Nick and Angela.
0:17:56 > 0:17:5965 or less, Liz, is what you require.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01There are only two that I know for definite.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04It's just knowing which one will be the lowest.
0:18:05 > 0:18:11Golda Meir, Menachem Begin, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Israel says Liz. Here is your red line,
0:18:13 > 0:18:16get below that with Israel and you're into round two.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19How many of our 100 people said Israel?
0:18:22 > 0:18:23It's right.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25And you're through. Just. Look at that!
0:18:25 > 0:18:2963. 65 you needed, 63 you got.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- 158 is your total.- Super-close, wasn't it?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Yeah, Israeli bank notes have Braille on them. It's a good idea.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- That's clever.- It is a good idea, isn't it?
0:18:36 > 0:18:41A very good idea. It also gives it a bit of purchase in a back pocket.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43It's going to fall out less easily.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- Like Velcro.- Yeah.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46SCATTERED LAUGHTER
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Thank you very much indeed.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Jane, welcome back. Remind us what you do, Jane.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56I work for my local charity, the Children's Trust in Tadworth.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59That is right. And what are your interests, Jane?
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Reading, walking my lovely dog, Archie.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Who we've recently been assessed to be a PAT dog.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- Pets As Therapy.- Oh, I see. Right.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10So, we've been assessed,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13we haven't got the official confirmation whether we are in.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17- But he did do really well. - Clever Archie. How old's Archie?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- He's seven. Golden retriever. - Lovely.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Gorgeous.- Very nice indeed.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Now, Jane, what I would normally do is ask you to go through the board,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- but I'm not going to on this occasion.- Thank you.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Because, if you were to score 100,
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- we would have a lock-down scenario. - Ooh!
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I know, I know. Sue, you said, "I was just thinking that."
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- We wouldn't want that. - No.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38What would you like to go for?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Ideally, you'd score 99 or less.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I'm going to go for the top one, then,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- and hope it's New Zealand. - New Zealand.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50OK, here is your red line. Lovely and high.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Essentially, you just have to have it right, I'd say.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Let's see if New Zealand will do that for you.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58It's right.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00And you are through.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02Down it goes.
0:20:02 > 0:20:0328!
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Very well done indeed. 28 is actually the lowest score
0:20:06 > 0:20:08of the whole round. Very well done.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11And 89, the lowest combined score. Very good on podium one, there.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Well played. Let's fill this board in, shall we?
0:20:13 > 0:20:18- Indira Gandhi, Nehru and Narendra Modi are India.- India.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21That would have scored you 86.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Now, Abdelmalek Sellal and the rest,
0:20:23 > 0:20:24this is the best answer on the board.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27You'd probably have to guess this -
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Algeria.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Algeria, and that would have scored you 1 point.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Now, Helle Thorning-Schmidt we know. She's been in the news a lot.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- We know indeed. Yeah.- She's married to Stephen Kinnock.- Denmark.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Denmark, yeah. And that would have scored you 9 points.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Thank you very much.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42So, at the end of our first round,
0:20:42 > 0:20:46the pair we are sending home with the highest score, Nick and Angela.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- I'm sorry.- We tried.- How is this happening twice in a row?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- We're the understudies.- I know, but... I...
0:20:52 > 0:20:55It's not a true reflection of your abilities on the show.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56Of that, I am quite certain.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59I'm afraid you've used up both your Pointless lives, so to speak.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01That sounds a bit sinister, doesn't it?
0:21:01 > 0:21:02But we have to say goodbye to you.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Thank you so much for coming and playing both times.- Thank you.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06Both times far too quick.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08But anyway, Nick and Angela, thanks very much indeed.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21And so we are now down to three pairs, and at the end of this round,
0:21:21 > 0:21:23we will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Jane and Sue, oh! Wonderful low scores there. Fantastic.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Lowest individual and lowest joint score in that round.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Setting out your stall once again, I think.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Got your eyes set on the head-to-head.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Best of luck to all three pairs, though.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Our category for Round Two today is...
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45who's going to go second?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47And whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:21:53 > 0:21:59We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many of the nation's
0:21:59 > 0:22:03favourite number one Beatles songs as they could.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- Richard.- Yeah, in 2015, ITV held a poll to find the nation's favourite
0:22:07 > 0:22:10number one single by the Beatles.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12It could have been number one in the UK or the US.
0:22:12 > 0:22:1527 tracks on this list,
0:22:15 > 0:22:17just need to find the most obscure one, please.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Thank you very much indeed.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Jane, what would you like to go for?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I'm going to try with...
0:22:27 > 0:22:29In My Life.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31In My Life says Jane. Let's see if that's right.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Let's see how many of our 100 people went for In My Life.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- Oh, no, bad luck!- No!
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- I'm afraid In My Life not a correct answer. 100 points.- Never mind.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Yeah, a very beautiful song, but not number one,
0:22:44 > 0:22:47I'm afraid, on either side of the Atlantic. That's unlucky.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Ah, yes.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52You might not be the only high scorer like that, Jane.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Lauren, what would you like to go for?
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Erm...
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Help!
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Help! says Lauren. - That's just about right, yeah.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Yeah, OK. Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Help!
0:23:07 > 0:23:09It's right.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14There we are.
0:23:14 > 0:23:1533 for Help!
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- Very well done indeed.- Well played, Lauren.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20That was number one in the UK and the US.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Thanks very much indeed. Now, Linda,
0:23:23 > 0:23:26what would you like to go for?
0:23:26 > 0:23:27A Hard Day's Night.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30A Hard Day's Night, let's see if that's right.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Hard Day's Night.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36It's right.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Very well done. Down to 16.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Well played on that far podium.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Yeah, the title track of their first film.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- And that was also number one in the US and the UK.- Thanks very much.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:23:54 > 0:23:5716, the best score of the pass, Linda. Well done, Linda and Liz.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Looking pretty good for the head-to-head.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02As are, I would say, Roger and Lauren at this stage.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Jane and Sue, bad luck.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- Sue, you know what you need to do. - Yeah.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08I hope you've got a good answer for when we come back down to you.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Best of luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Will the second players please step up to the podium?
0:24:14 > 0:24:19OK, Liz. We're looking for singles that featured
0:24:19 > 0:24:22on the list of the nation's favourite number one Beatles song.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Hey Jude.- Hey Jude says Liz.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Ideally, you'd score 83 or less. Here's your red line.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Get below this red line with Hey Jude, you are into the head-to-head.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37It's right.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38And you are through.
0:24:39 > 0:24:4243.
0:24:42 > 0:24:4459 is your total.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47That was actually voted number one in the nation's favourite Beatles
0:24:47 > 0:24:50song, Hey Jude. Again, number one in the US and the UK.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53At the time, it was the longest ever number one single in the UK.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- Seven minutes 11 seconds. - Is it that long?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- It is long.- The na-na-na bit. - They go on a long time, yeah.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03- The na-na-na bit.- Yeah, as I believe it's called in the business.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05- Yeah.- That record has been beaten since.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09All Around The World by Oasis is now the longest ever number one single.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Thank you very much, Richard. Now, then, Roger.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16You're on 33. 66 or less gets you through.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18I really don't know if it was a number one,
0:25:18 > 0:25:20but I'm going to go for Yellow Submarine.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Yellow Submarine says Roger. Let's see if that's right.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Here's your red line. Get below that, you're through.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31It's right.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34And you are through. Very well done indeed.
0:25:34 > 0:25:3632.
0:25:37 > 0:25:3965 is your total.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Good work, Roger. Yeah, number one in the UK, Yellow Submarine.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Thank you, Richard. Now, Sue.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Sue, I'm afraid you are our high scorers.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- Even before your answer.- Yeah. - I'm sorry.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- It's OK.- Anyhow, what are you going to go for?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- Love Me Do.- Love Me Do, says Sue.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people
0:25:59 > 0:26:01went for that. No red line for you, I'm afraid,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03as you are the high scorers.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05It's right.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Good answer!
0:26:12 > 0:26:1615. Lowest score of the round there, Sue. Very well done.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20- 115, your total.- Yeah, that was only number-one in the US.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22It was a very early Beatles single in the UK.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25It wasn't a number one single. There is one pointless answer.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27It was a number one in the US, not the UK.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30It's Eight Days A Week, was the best answer on the board.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34One point for We Can Work It Out, Come Together, and I Feel Fine.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Two points for the Ballad Of John And Yoko,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40two points also for Something. A beautiful song.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Three points for The Long And Winding Road.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Four points for Day-tripper and Hello, Goodbye.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47And the next best, six points, for From Me To You,
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Can't Buy Me Love, and All You Need Is Love.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Lady Madonna, seven points as well. Those are the best answers there.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54- Shall we take a look at the top three answers?- Mm!
0:26:54 > 0:26:57The ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Yellow Submarine, 32, there, Roger. Help! 33.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03We've seen all of these. Hey Jude, 43.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07So, at the end of our second round, the pair we have to send home
0:27:07 > 0:27:09with a high score of 115, Sue and Jane,
0:27:09 > 0:27:13I'm so sorry, it's you. Tough, that round, actually.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- Really tough.- She should have thought...- She's too young.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Should have thought about it a bit longer.- Well, still tough.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Anyway, but you've done very well. Brilliant performance last time.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23A very strong performance in the first round.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26I'm sorry you tripped up on this one, but it's been great
0:27:26 > 0:27:29having you on the show. Thank you so much, Sue and Jane.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30APPLAUSE
0:27:30 > 0:27:34But, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Well, congratulations, Roger and Lauren, Linda and Liz.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44You're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our
0:27:44 > 0:27:47jackpot, which currently stands at £1,000.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Well, we have made it to the head-to-head,
0:27:49 > 0:27:51which means you can now confer.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53In this round, the first pair to win two questions will be playing for
0:27:53 > 0:27:55that jackpot in the final.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Well, you've seen off our two returning pairs.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Very well done indeed. Very impressive performance.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02And neither of you have been here before,
0:28:02 > 0:28:05so it should be very exciting and very close.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Best of luck to both players. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15OK, here is your first question and it concerns...
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Yes, self explanatory, right?
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Yeah, we're going to show you five pictures now of creatures that
0:28:25 > 0:28:28have the word fish in their names, but are not actually fish.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31We're also going to give you some of the letters of their names to
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- help you out, but what are they, please?- OK.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Let's reveal our five fish that aren't. Here they are.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39We've got...
0:29:04 > 0:29:06There we are.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Five fish that aren't fish.
0:29:08 > 0:29:09Now, Roger and Lauren,
0:29:09 > 0:29:11you are our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14INAUDIBLE WHISPERING
0:29:14 > 0:29:15Shall we go for D?
0:29:15 > 0:29:17I think it's a razor fish, you know,
0:29:17 > 0:29:19the ones you get at the beach with the long shells.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Yeah. All right, do that.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24We are going to go for D, razor fish.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28Razor fish. Razor fish, D.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30OK, now, Linda and Liz, over to you.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Do you want to talk us through the board?
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- You can talk out loud if you like. - Cuttlefish.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Do you want to go through the board?
0:29:37 > 0:29:41We think A is cuttlefish and E is crayfish.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- We don't know the other two.- No.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46So, what will we just go for A?
0:29:46 > 0:29:47- Cuttlefish.- Yes.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49OK, A, cuttlefish.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51So, we have razor fish and we have cuttlefish.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Lauren and Roger said razor fish for D.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Let's see if that's right
0:29:55 > 0:29:59and let's see how many of our 100 people went for it.
0:29:59 > 0:30:00It's right.
0:30:06 > 0:30:0714.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Very well done indeed. Nice score there.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Linda and Liz, meanwhile, have gone for cuttlefish for A.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said that.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21It's right.
0:30:25 > 0:30:2637.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29Very well done indeed.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Roger and Lauren, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Yeah, razor fish, a very, very good answer.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- There are funny looking, aren't they? Razor fish.- They are.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- Do you think?- I mean, is that like a sort of razor clamp?
0:30:39 > 0:30:43- Yeah, if you like. Yeah, they are molluscs.- Yeah.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44Now, B is an insect.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47And it's a silverfish.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Ah!
0:30:49 > 0:30:5325 points for that. That's not real size, don't panic.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55We will leave C for the moment.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57E, I think you knew, was the crayfish.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Can I just tell you, when that picture first came out,
0:31:00 > 0:31:02- I thought there were two crayfish there.- 52.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Yeah, you're thinking of the Kray twins.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Yeah.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13Now, let's take a little look at C before we give away the answer.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Now, it's one of those ones where you can fill in some of them.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- So, it's fish. Clearly at the end there.- Yeah.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23And then the clue to the fact it's not a fish is what it is doing.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25- Which is...- Walking. - Walking, yeah.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Careful. It's a pointless answer and it's a Mexican...
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- Mexican walking fish! - Walking fish.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33You can't say it now. You can't do that. Mexican walking fish.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Wow! Look at that. I like its hair.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37It's pretty cool.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Blowing in the wind there, look at that.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41- It's a kind of salamander. - There you go.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Thank you very much, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Now, Linda and Liz, you get to answer it first, but obviously you
0:31:47 > 0:31:49have to win this one to stay in the game. So, good luck.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50Our second question is all about...
0:31:53 > 0:31:54- Aw!- Richard.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Simply five clues or facts about Paddington Bear.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01OK, let's reveal our five Paddington facts and here they are.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02We have got...
0:32:16 > 0:32:18I'll read those quickly again.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33- Linda and Liz.- What did he say there?
0:32:33 > 0:32:37- What did he say for the writer? - Well, it's his illustrator.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- It doesn't actually say writer. - Do you want to risk that?
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- I don't know.- Because I think the other two will be quite high.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44Oh, I know.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48Right, we will go for the illustrator, Roger...
0:32:48 > 0:32:49Roger...
0:32:49 > 0:32:50Roger Bond.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Roger Bond, say Linda and Liz.
0:32:53 > 0:32:58OK, now then, Roger and Lauren, what would you like to go for?
0:32:58 > 0:33:02I think... Isn't the bottom one Peru?
0:33:02 > 0:33:04- Shall we just go for that one? - Yeah, Peru, yeah.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- We'll go for the bottom one as Peru, please.- OK, Peru.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08For the bottom one.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11So, we have Roger Bond and we have Peru.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Linda and Liz have gone for Roger Bond. Let's see if that's right.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Let's see how many of our 100 people said Roger Bond.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23No, I'm afraid not Roger Bond.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Lauren and Roger, meanwhile, have gone for Peru.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people
0:33:28 > 0:33:30said Peru. It just has to be right at this stage
0:33:30 > 0:33:32and you will win the point.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35It is right.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Look at that, 63.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Very well done indeed. 63.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43But, crucially, it was right. And it means...
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Very well done, Roger and Lauren, after only two questions you're
0:33:46 > 0:33:48straight through to the final. 2-0.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Yeah, very well played.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Yeah, not Roger Bond, I'm afraid.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55The original writer of the Paddington books was Michael Bond.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57- Yes.- And you're playing against Roger.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00I think somewhere between the two of those is where you got confused.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02The illustrator is actually Peggy Fortnum.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04So, very well done if you said that at home.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06That would have scored you 8 points.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08The name of the style of coat...
0:34:08 > 0:34:10- It's a duffle.- A duffle coat.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12That would have scored 74.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14The surname of the family who adopted him?
0:34:14 > 0:34:16- Brown.- Brown, yes.
0:34:16 > 0:34:1937 points for that. Now, the name of the person who first designed the
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Paddington Bear soft toy. People might remember who she is...
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- Yeah.- What is her name? Now, she's famously...
0:34:24 > 0:34:25Her surname I know.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Yeah, cos she is Jeremy Clarkson's mother.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Yeah, well, I was going to say Clarkson.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33- We won't accept Mrs Clarkson, I'm afraid.- Oh, no!
0:34:33 > 0:34:35It begins with S.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Sue Clarkson? Not Sue.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- What are you saying? - Sarah?
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- Sheila?- Not Sheila. - Sandra.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Not Sandra. This is fun. We should just do this.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- Shula! Shula Clarkson. - No.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- Not Suzanne.- Sarah. - What did we say here?
0:34:50 > 0:34:52- Shirley.- Shirley Clarkson is the right answer.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Oh, Mrs Clarkson, I'm sorry.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- Shirley Clarkson.- A pointless answer. Well done.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58Look at that.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01So, £250 to the gentleman in the audience there. Very well done.
0:35:01 > 0:35:02There we are.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:07 > 0:35:09I'm afraid to say, it's Linda and Liz.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11However, the good news is, we get to see you again next time.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13And we look forward to that very much. In the meantime,
0:35:13 > 0:35:16thank you so much. Linda and Liz, great performance on the show.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:35:18 > 0:35:22But, for Roger and Lauren, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Well, congratulations, Roger and Lauren.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30You have fought off all the competition
0:35:30 > 0:35:33and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing out £1,000.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Well, a fantastic performance.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Very, very strong indeed.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52I think that first round was the one that slightly shook everyone.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- The Prime Ministers' round, wasn't it?- It was terrifying.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58You came through smiling, flying colours. Well, as always,
0:35:58 > 0:36:00you get to choose your category from
0:36:00 > 0:36:01the four that we put up on the board.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Fingers crossed there's something up there you like the look of.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Let's see what today's selection looks like. We have got...
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- It's up to you, you choose.- Really tempted by Latin American Singers.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23Or Land Of 'Oz,' but that could be Australia, or Wizard of Oz.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Could be, could be Wizard of Oz, could be Land Of 'Oz'
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- could be Australia. - How good are you at 1975?
0:36:28 > 0:36:32- You just go for what you want, Latin American Singers.- No pressure, then.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35- Latin American Singers, please. - Latin American Singers it is.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37OK, very, very best of luck.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41We're looking for any UK top 40 singles up to April 2016
0:36:41 > 0:36:45by any of the following three, please. We're looking for...
0:36:53 > 0:36:55So, according to officialcharts.com,
0:36:55 > 0:36:59- any UK top 40 hits by any of those three, very best of luck.- OK.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Now, as always,
0:37:01 > 0:37:04you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- to be pointless. Are you ready?- Yes. - OK.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- Your time starts now.- Do you know any Gloria Estefan songs?
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- I do but I can't remember what they are.- OK.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20What about Ricky Martin or Shakira?
0:37:20 > 0:37:22You know them more than me.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24The only ones I know...
0:37:24 > 0:37:27are Ricky Martin, Livin' La Vida Loca. And...
0:37:30 > 0:37:32What was the one he done...
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- Peter Kay did it.- I don't think so.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Shakira is, like...
0:37:40 > 0:37:43- ..Hips Don't Lie, or something.- Something like that.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Can you not think of any Gloria Estefan at all?
0:37:45 > 0:37:47No, not Gloria Estefan.
0:37:47 > 0:37:48SHE SIGHS
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Probably know all of them if you played them to me.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54I've got a Ricky Martin one in my head.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58- And I can only remember a line of it. Um...- Sing it.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Something like, "She dances in the summer rain."
0:38:03 > 0:38:0410 seconds left.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07No, that's not right.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- What about...Shakira? - I don't really know.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13THEY TALK INDISTINCTLY
0:38:13 > 0:38:15OK, I'm afraid that is your time up.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17I'm sorry, that minute is never long enough.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19What answers can you give me?
0:38:19 > 0:38:22And if you say which category you're answering, that'd be great.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- Livin' La Vida Loca for Ricky Martin.- OK, Living Live...
0:38:25 > 0:38:30- Livin' La Vida Loca, yeah. - She Wolf by Shakira.- She Wolf.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- And Hips Don't Lie by Shakira. - Hips Don't Lie. OK.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer,
0:38:37 > 0:38:39- do you think?- She Wolf by Shakira. - She Wolf goes last.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41- Least likely to be pointless? - Livin' La Vida Loca.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Livin' La Vida Loca goes first.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45OK, let's put those answers up on the board in that order,
0:38:45 > 0:38:46then, and here they are.
0:38:46 > 0:38:51We have got Livin' La Vida Loca, Hips Don't Lie, She Wolf.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Well, very, very best of luck. Three good answers on the board there.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56If one of these is pointless and wins you that jackpot,
0:38:56 > 0:39:00- what would you like to do with it? Roger, you first.- Well...
0:39:00 > 0:39:03There's a certain charity that helps Lauren,
0:39:03 > 0:39:06and we're going to give half to that.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09And then I've got my 50th wedding anniversary coming up,
0:39:09 > 0:39:13- next year, actually... - Oh, congratulations!- ..in March.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16- So, we'll do something...- Something special.- Yeah.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19Very good. Congratulations. Lauren, how about you?
0:39:19 > 0:39:22As Grandad said, we're going to donate some to charity.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25And then the other bit will either be put towards
0:39:25 > 0:39:29a trip to Japan or some funky wheel covers for my sweet ride.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Very good indeed. Best of luck.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Let's hope one of these answers wins that jackpot for you.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Your first answer was Livin' La Vida Loca.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39In this case, we were looking for Ricky Martin UK top 40 singles.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Only one of these answers has to be pointless for you to win
0:39:42 > 0:39:44the jackpot, so let's find out, for £1,000,
0:39:44 > 0:39:46how many people said Livin' La Vida Loca.
0:39:49 > 0:39:50It's right.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53If this goes all the way down to zero,
0:39:53 > 0:39:56you could leave straightaway with a cheque for £1,000.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Down it goes through the... Oh. Just into the 30s there.
0:40:00 > 0:40:05- 30 for Livin' La Vida Loca. Not a bad score.- No.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08But we move on to your next answer. Sadly, not a pointless answer there.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Hips Don't Lie.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13In this case, we were looking for Shakira UK top 40 singles.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16If this is right and if it's pointless, it'll win you £1,000.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18How many people said Hips Don't Lie?
0:40:21 > 0:40:26Well, it's right, too. Hips Don't Lie taking us down through the 60s.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Your first answer, Livin' La Vida Loca took us to 30.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Hips Don't Lie now takes us into the 30s...
0:40:30 > 0:40:32to 35.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38OK. Only one more shot at today's jackpot.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:41 > 0:40:46which is She Wolf. Again, this is a Shakira UK top 40 single.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48We have to hope nobody mentioned it.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50If it is pointless, it'll win you £1,000.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Let's see how many of our 100 people said She Wolf.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Well, it's your third correct answer.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Your first answer, Livin' La Vida Loca, took us down to 30.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Your second answer, Hips Don't Lie, took us down to 35.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05She Wolf passes 35 and 30. Down it goes into the teens.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Still going down, still in single figures,
0:41:07 > 0:41:09down it goes to 6.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Well, listen, three very good answers there.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19She Wolf, a fantastic low score, single-figure score there.
0:41:19 > 0:41:20Sadly, though,
0:41:20 > 0:41:23we only accept pointless answers in this last round.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25I'm afraid you didn't find that pointless answer that would have won
0:41:25 > 0:41:29you that jackpot of £1,000, so that will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32But what a performance to be proud of across the whole show.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33It's been absolutely fantastic.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35And you get to take home a Pointless trophy,
0:41:35 > 0:41:37so very, very well done indeed.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39It's been lovely having you, Roger and Lauren!
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Yes, it's been a real pleasure. Thank you so much for joining us.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49I'm going to take you through the pointless answers here and,
0:41:49 > 0:41:52hopefully, you don't recognise any of them. We will start with Shakira.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58..and Illegal. They were the five pointless answers there.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Very well done if you said any of those.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Ricky Martin, also five pointless answers here.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12..and The Cup Of Life. That's nice, isn't it?
0:42:12 > 0:42:14You could Shake Your Bon-Bon in a Cup Of Life,
0:42:14 > 0:42:16as long as it's got a lid. Make sure the lid is secure
0:42:16 > 0:42:19if you're going to Shake Your Bon-Bon in your Cup Of Life.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23Now, there's lots and lots of Gloria Estefan pointless answers.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25A couple of top 10 singles here.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Everything apart from Rhythm Is Gonna Get You, Dr Beat,
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Can't Stay Away From You, Oye Mi Canto - Oi! Mi Canto!
0:42:34 > 0:42:37And..and Doctor Pressure.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Everything else was a pointless answer.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Very well done if you got any of those at home,
0:42:41 > 0:42:44- and unlucky in the studio. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Now, Roger and Lauren, thank you so much for joining us.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Very sadly, they didn't win the jackpot today which means
0:42:49 > 0:42:53it rolls over to the next show, when we will be playing for £2,000.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Join us next time. See if someone can win it. Meanwhile,
0:43:00 > 0:43:02- it's goodbye from Richard... - Goodbye.
0:43:02 > 0:43:03..and it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
