0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:23 > 0:00:25and welcome to Pointless, the show where the aim of the game
0:00:25 > 0:00:29is to avoid the obvious answers and find the obscure ones.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38My name's Adrian. This is my son, Max.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40And we're from Trowbridge in Wiltshire.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Couple number two.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hello, my name is Nigel. This is my lovely wife, Sue.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48And we're from the sporting capital of England, Leicester.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Couple number three.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hello again, I'm Gyasuddin, and this is my younger sibling Kulsum,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- and we're from Blackburn. - And finally, couple number four.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Hello, my name is Thomas. This is my friend, Aled.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And we're from Pontypridd in South Wales.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03And these are today's contestants. APPLAUSE
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Thanks very much, all of you. A very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Great to have you here. We'll get a chance to chat to each of you
0:01:08 > 0:01:09throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15More positive than a weekend at a self-belief seminar,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Hiya. Hey, everybody. Afternoon. - APPLAUSE
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Good afternoon to you.- And to you. - Now, three returning pairs.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27It seems unfair, we've put our new pair on podium one.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Poor old Adrian and Max.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31And we cleverly go in order of how well people did
0:01:31 > 0:01:32from podium four onwards.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Well, we'll start with podium two,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37where Nigel and Sue got all the way through to the head-to-head.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Gyasuddin and Kulsum got through to Round Two.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41And Round One, unfortunately,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43for our gents there on the fourth podium,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46where Thomas gave the best answer possible pretty much,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48gave an unbelievably good answer.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Aled, I'm going to say less so.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Certainly, if one of them has some making up to do, it's Aled.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56That's all I'm saying. It won't happen, Aled, I'm sure,
0:01:56 > 0:01:57because you're a very bright man.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59I'll tell you what I'm wrestling with.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Adrian is Max's dad.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07And you think he looks like his brother?
0:02:07 > 0:02:08He could be his older brother.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Well, is there a way we can ask without alerting them to the fact
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- that we're asking?- I don't know, could be a bit awkward.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- In your chat, why don't you...? - Maybe in my chat, I'll just ask,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17I'll come right out with it and just say...
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Just ask what year he was born in or something like that.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- Well...- That's the way to do it, isn't it?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24What was the number one when you were born? Something like that.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- Yes, that's a really good idea. - Then we can look it up.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- I'll look it up and I'll tell you. - Got it.- Boom. That's a great idea.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Lovely. Thank you very much indeed.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Now, Linda and Liz didn't win our jackpot last time,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35which means we add another £1,000 to that,
0:02:35 > 0:02:39so today's jackpot starts off at £3,000.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41There we are. APPLAUSE
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53OK, only one thing to remember as ever and that is this -
0:02:53 > 0:02:55the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be
0:02:55 > 0:02:59eliminated, so do what you can to make sure you are not that pair.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Very best of luck to all four pairs.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Our first category today...
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Literature. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10who's going to go second?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Richard.- Yeah, on each board we're going to show you some lists of
0:03:25 > 0:03:27characters who all appeared in certain novels.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29You just need to tell us the name of the novel, please.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32It's going to be 14 novels in all to guess at home. Good luck.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35OK, so we're looking for the novels that first featured these characters
0:03:35 > 0:03:37and here's our first board of seven.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39It reads like this. We've got...
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I'll read those all again.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34Max...look at that. Our newcomers, on podium one, welcome to Pointless.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Great to have you here from Trowbridge.- Yes.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37What do you do, Max?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I'm a student at uni at the minute. I'm in UWE in Bristol.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Very good, and what do you study?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- Studying journalism. - And you're in your first year?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Yeah, just finished my first year. - So at this stage it's still pretty
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- general journalism, is it, you're not...?- Yeah, yeah,
0:04:48 > 0:04:50we tend to specialise in the third year,
0:04:50 > 0:04:52so still getting into it at the minute.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Getting an idea where you might want to specialise?- Sports, probably.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Sports.- A big sport fan, so...
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Max, can I ask if you took a year out before university?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Or did you go straight to university?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- I went straight to university. - And you're in the first year?- I am.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- OK...- This is all... This is all very good background.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- I've got that.- Just good background stuff.- Yeah.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15Very good. Max, how is your literature?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Um...it can be good,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20but with this board, it doesn't look like it's going to be.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22I'm just going to have to take a random guess.
0:05:22 > 0:05:28I'm going to have to go with Pride And Prejudice for...
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect and Zaphod Beeblebrox.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- That's just...the first one that came into my mind.- OK!
0:05:33 > 0:05:38Zaphod Beeblebrox, Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect...
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Pride And Prejudice. Let's see if that's right.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48No. No.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Little bit after Jane Austen's time. 100 points for you, then.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53First one that came into my head.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Yes, she missed a trick there, didn't she,
0:05:54 > 0:05:58not having a character called Zaphod Beeblebrox in Pride And Prejudice?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01That would have made that film a bit more interesting.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I'll say. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Sue, welcome back.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Sue, what do you do?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11I'm a study skills tutor at De Montford University,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14and I'm kind of a part-time artist.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Now what sort of art do you do?
0:06:15 > 0:06:20I design and print my own materials and do up old furniture and...
0:06:20 > 0:06:23So you go out and find sort of things in junk shops and...
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- Yes.- And up... What do they call it? Up something?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Up-cycle.- Up-cycle, is what you do.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Yeah.- So what's the most ambitious thing you've done?
0:06:30 > 0:06:35I've just done a really nice button backed chair for a customer.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Oh, fantastic. That sounds great.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Sue, now, what about these characters from novels?
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Um, well, I had a quick panic there,
0:06:44 > 0:06:48but I'm going to go for the fourth one down
0:06:48 > 0:06:49and Rebecca.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Rebecca. Rebecca for Mrs Danvers, et al.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Let's see if that's right.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Let's see how many of our 100 people said Rebecca.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00It's right.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Well, you passed our high score
0:07:03 > 0:07:05the minute you came down the column there.
0:07:05 > 0:07:0619 for Rebecca. Very well done indeed.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Yeah, by Daphne du Maurier, of course.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Mrs de Winter narrates the novel
0:07:14 > 0:07:16and is married in that novel to
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Zaphod Beeblebrox.- That's right. LAUGHTER
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Thank you very much indeed.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Kulsum, welcome back to Pointless.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Remind us what you do. - I'm a research assistant,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28working in stroke research at university.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31And what do you like getting up to when you're not hard at work?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Um, mainly keeping active, running and going to the gym,
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- that sort of thing. - Very good indeed.
0:07:36 > 0:07:42- Do you read much?- Erm... I used to, not so much any more.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Um, this board isn't looking great for me.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- OK.- Um...- This is good news for Max.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Possibly.- Yeah.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52What would you like to go for there?
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Going to take a bit of a risk and go with the second one,
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Yossarian and co.- Yeah.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00And say Catch-22.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Catch-22, says Kulsum.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Let's see if that's right for Minderbinder, etc.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Let's see how many of our 100 people got it, if it's right, Catch-22.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14It's right. Very well done indeed, Kulsum.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17You are now approaching 19,
0:08:17 > 0:08:19passing 19. There you are, our new low score.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Very, very well done indeed,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Catch-22, 14.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Yeah, terrific answer, Kulsum. Very well played.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Obviously it's introduced the whole concept of catch-22
0:08:28 > 0:08:30into the English language.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Now, Aled, welcome back.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- Hello.- Welcome back. Far too soon we had to say goodbye to you last time.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Remind us what you do, Aled.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43I'm a teacher's assistant at a primary school.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45A teacher's assistant at a primary school
0:08:45 > 0:08:47and remind us what your hobbies are.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50My hobby, which I went into a lot last time, was radio.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Radio.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54It's fantastic, you have a late-night show,
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- don't you, on local radio? - Yes, that's right.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Do you get to choose everything you do on that show?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Is it a complete free swim, or...?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I like to make it as equal as I can
0:09:03 > 0:09:07but every now and then I do slip in a few personal favourites.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Not meant to, not meant to.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- Oh, really?- No. - Are you given a playlist?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Bit of a slap on the wrist if you change it, yeah.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17But you're given a kind of broad range of so-and-so from the charts.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18- Right.- And so-and-so of your choice.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Brilliant.- Now, Aled, this board is all yours.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Do you want to talk us through it and fill in all the blanks?- Right.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Once we reached there, I had two answers I knew.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27And they haven't been taken,
0:09:27 > 0:09:30so I knew tactically there I was safe from here on.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- Right.- So it's either...
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Well, I'm going to be biased and choose the one that I adore
0:09:35 > 0:09:37and I love Douglas Adams,
0:09:37 > 0:09:41so I'm going to go for Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect and Zaphod Beeblebrox,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43with Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy says Aled.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Let's see how many of our 100 people
0:09:46 > 0:09:48got Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52It's right. Well, 100 was our high score.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54You passed that a while ago.
0:09:54 > 0:09:5619 is the next high score.
0:09:56 > 0:09:5734.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Not bad at all, Aled. 34.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02It's better than my personal best, isn't it?
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- It certainly is.- Well played, Aled. That's more like it, isn't it?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09It's more fun when you know them. Now let's fill in these.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Jean Valjean, etc?
0:10:10 > 0:10:11- Is Les Mis.- Les Miserables, yeah.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14All of these have been films as well. 25 points for that.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Elizabeth Bennet, Fitzwilliam Darcy?
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Now THAT'S Pride And Prejudice.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20That is Pride And Prejudice. Max, yeah, unlucky.
0:10:20 > 0:10:2240 points for that. Athos, Porthos, Aramis?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Three Musketeers.- Three Musketeers.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26For 58. And do you know the bottom one?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Jack Torrance, Danny Torrance? - I do, it's The Shining.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31It is The Shining. Absolutely. And that would have scored 5 points.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Well done if you said that at home, best answer there.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Thank you, Richard. We're halfway through the rounds,
0:10:36 > 0:10:39so let's take a look at those scores. 14, very well done, Kulsum.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41You are the low scorer there.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I hope that gets you into the next round.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Then up to 19, where we find Sue and Nigel.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47Then up to 34,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50where we find Aled and Thomas. Then up to 100,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53where we find Max and Adrian.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Mm. Yeah...
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Very, very best of luck with finding a nice low score, Adrian.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Who knows? There might be another 100 scored in the next pass.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03You don't know. But a low score from you is definitely what we will need.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05We're going to come back down the line now.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:10 > 0:11:14OK, now, let's put seven more sets of characters from novels
0:11:14 > 0:11:15up on the board and here they are.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17We have got...
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I'm going to read those all again.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Thomas, welcome back to Pointless. Remind us what you do, Thomas.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12I am currently a master's student studying health,
0:12:12 > 0:12:14sport and exercise science at the University of South Wales.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Right, and you've got one more year of that.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18No, I'm doing my dissertation now over the summer.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Brilliant, well, what are your interests, Thomas?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I enjoy music and watching sport, so...
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Very good. What kind? Do you play music?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- Do you play an instrument? - I sadly don't play music.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30I wish I did, but I go to a lot of gigs all the time.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Do you sing, Thomas?
0:12:32 > 0:12:33Badly, in my own free time, but...
0:12:33 > 0:12:37That's OK. At least it's not on anyone else's time, Thomas!
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Bad singing on someone else's time is unforgivable.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42There you are on 34. You should be able to get through.
0:12:42 > 0:12:4565 is your target before anyone else has even answered.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48So, yes, let's hope. Aled's set you up pretty well there.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49What would you like to go for?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Cos the pressure is off due to Adrian and Max's score,
0:12:52 > 0:12:55I'll go for Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark and Effie Trinket,
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- for The Hunger Games. - The Hunger Games, says Thomas.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Vigorous nods all around. There's your red line.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02If you get below that with The Hunger Games, you're definitely
0:13:02 > 0:13:05through to the next round. But let's see how far down we get.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08It's right.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11And you're through! Look at that!
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Down it goes. A surprisingly low score.
0:13:14 > 0:13:1530, taking you up to 64.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Very comfortably through the line, too.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Well played, Thomas. By Suzanne Collins.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22It spent over six years on the New York Times' bestsellers' list.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Thank you very much indeed. Gyasuddin, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Good to have you here. Remind us what you do?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I'm a pharmacist working in a community village pharmacy.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Where we sell the special salts.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33You... HE LAUGHS
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Special...? Exactly. The boutique pharmacist.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- That's the one.- It's not a chain, it's a boutique.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Nice soaps. Very good indeed.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Yes, being a village pharmacist, I mean, you're in the background.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45You have a direct line to what's wrong
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- with everyone in the village, then? - We do, yeah.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Well, I've been at this village pharmacy for about eight years now.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- Right.- And they count me as part of the community now
0:13:54 > 0:13:56and they all come in with all their problems,
0:13:56 > 0:13:58whether medical or nonmedical!
0:13:58 > 0:14:00My father was a doctor.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02And when my voice broke, I started to sound quite like him.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04And so if I ever answered the telephone at home,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07people would just tell me what was wrong with them, until I could go,
0:14:07 > 0:14:09"Stop, stop, I'm not him!"
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Gyasuddin, there you are on 14.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15If you can score 85 or less, you're definitely through.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Well, literature is definitely not one of my strong points.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21And I only knew two answers on the board and one of them has gone.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26So, I'm going to go for Heathcliff, Catherine Earnshaw and Mr Lockwood -
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- Wuthering Heights. - Wuthering Heights, says Gyasuddin.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Here is your red line. If you can get below that
0:14:30 > 0:14:33with Wuthering Heights, you're straight through to the next round.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35How many people said Wuthering Heights?
0:14:37 > 0:14:38It's right,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- and you are through. Well done. - Good job.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Not bad at all. 52.
0:14:43 > 0:14:4566, your total.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Yeah, well played. It's her only novel, of course,
0:14:48 > 0:14:51but they say she did write another one that's never been found.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- Never been found. - Have they looked in the drawer?
0:14:55 > 0:14:56No. No-one has actually looked.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- They should look. - Yeah, no, they should look.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02They said, "Look, at some point we will look but it's a mess in there."
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- So they haven't. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Now, Nigel, welcome back to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Remind us what you do, Nigel?
0:15:09 > 0:15:10I'm a technician.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14I work for the county council on assistive technology.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17That's right. We heard about assistive technology last time.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Remind me what that is! NIGEL LAUGHS
0:15:19 > 0:15:21I remember, but for the people who don't.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24I forget frequently.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26We put equipment into people's houses
0:15:26 > 0:15:27to help them live independently.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Now that's a brilliant thing. Assistive technology.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32A wonderful thing. Helping people to live independently.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35A great thing. Now, Nigel, what are your hobbies?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40I've recently taken up walking football.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- OK. Right. That's one up from sedentary football...- It is!
0:15:43 > 0:15:45..where people just go around on stools.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Only just. That's very much like we all look.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51It's basically a way of getting old men back into football.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- That's quite fun. - Because we can no longer run.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55How long before you all break into runs, though?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Or is it you're absolutely not allowed to run?
0:15:57 > 0:16:01No. It's not allowed to run, and basically most of us can't anyway.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04It's essentially, if you ever been to see Fulham play,
0:16:04 > 0:16:05- it's essentially that. - LAUGHTER
0:16:06 > 0:16:10That's extraordinary. Seriously, what constitutes a run?
0:16:10 > 0:16:14You must keep one foot on the ground at all times and then apparently
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- you're walking. - That must look hilarious.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- It does.- Now, Nigel, there you are, you're on 19.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Our high-scorers, Adrian and Max, are on 100.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24So 80 or less gets you through.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27OK. Boo Radley etc are in
0:16:27 > 0:16:28To Catch A Mockingbird.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32To Catch A Mockingbird. To Catch A Mockingbird, says Nigel.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35OK, here is your red line.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37You have to go below that red line.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Is that a right answer? Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46No.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48No, Nigel.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer. That scores you 100 points.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55It takes your total up to 119.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Ooh, Adrian! Adrian.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Wow.- Wow!- We could have a chance?
0:17:01 > 0:17:02- Yeah.- Yeah, sorry, Nigel.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05I will give all the correct answers at the end of the pass.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Thank you very much indeed.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Now then, Adri... How old are you, Adrian?!
0:17:09 > 0:17:10LAUGHTER
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- I'm 44.- Are you really?
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- Good nick for 44.- Lots of sport, lots of drinking water.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Lots of sport, lots of drink...and water.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- There we are.- Next to whisky!
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Now, Adrian, what do you do?
0:17:22 > 0:17:26I'm a business development manager for a fire sprinkler company.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28For a fire sprinkler company?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Yeah. So we put fire sprinklers into residential properties.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32This is where all the water comes?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35To get that complexion, so youthful!
0:17:35 > 0:17:37That's quite fun, isn't it?
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Yeah, I'm mainly in the sort of sales contract side of it.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Oh, I see. So you don't get to test it?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- No. I've never seen one go off in the...- No?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46..in the five years I've been doing this.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- Many complaints coming through? No?- No.- Good stuff.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Now, Adrian, you have been handed
0:17:51 > 0:17:54the most enormous and unexpected lifeline there
0:17:54 > 0:17:58by Nigel and Sue, who I have to say are our most qualified players today
0:17:58 > 0:18:00in terms of how they performed last time.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02If you can score 18 or less...
0:18:02 > 0:18:04That's a big ask.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Winston Smith is 1984.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11And Boo Radley is To Kill A Mockingbird.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14I'm going to go for To Kill A Mockingbird out of those two.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16To KILL A Mockingbird. I'm sorry, Nigel.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18You are thinking of To Catch A Thief.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Maybe. To Kill A Mockingbird.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22HE SIGHS
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Here is your red line. You have to get below that
0:18:24 > 0:18:25with To Kill A Mockingbird.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Let's see how many of our 100 people said To Kill A Mockingbird.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Well, let's see, are you go to get below that red line?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40No! Oh, no! 20!
0:18:40 > 0:18:41I can't believe it!
0:18:41 > 0:18:43What a knife-edge close
0:18:43 > 0:18:46to our exciting first round.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47Takes your total up to 120.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Wow.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Blimey, you got away with that, Nigel, didn't you?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54The confidence with which you gave
0:18:54 > 0:18:55To Catch A Mockingbird was wonderful.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57And so many people at home would have gone,
0:18:57 > 0:18:58"Yeah, To Catch A Mockingbird."
0:18:58 > 0:19:00And it's, yeah, To Kill A Mockingbird.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01The top one, Holden Caulfield
0:19:01 > 0:19:03is The Killer In The Rye.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05It's The Catcher In The Rye, forgive me.
0:19:05 > 0:19:0911 points for that. I think maybe in your head, you had both of them.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- Possibly.- You mixed them up a little bit.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Winston Smith, Julia etc was 1984.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Would have scored you even more points, though,
0:19:17 > 0:19:20would have scored you 45. Estella, Joe Gargery and Miss Havisham?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- Great Expectations. - Great Expectations.
0:19:22 > 0:19:2625. The best answer on the board, Dorothea Brooke etc
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- is...?- Middlemarch. - Middlemarch, yeah.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29That would have scored you 1 point.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31So very well done if you said that.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Thank you very much indeed.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35So at the end of our first round, the pair who are heading home
0:19:35 > 0:19:38with their high score of 120, I'm afraid,
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Adrian and Max. Not a bad score from you.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44But, Max, the Jane Austen/ Zaphod Beeblebrox mashup there,
0:19:44 > 0:19:46was, I'm afraid, a costly one. But we'll see you again next time.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49I'm sure you'll get further then. But in the meantime,
0:19:49 > 0:19:50thanks very much, Adrian and Max.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53APPLAUSE
0:19:53 > 0:19:56But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Look at that, suddenly we're down to three pairs.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Ooh, it just happens like that, doesn't it?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07And then at the end of this round, we'll be down to two.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...
0:20:13 > 0:20:14It's Eurovision. Can you decide on your pairs
0:20:14 > 0:20:17who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26OK, and the question concerns...
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- Richard?- In a moment, we're going to show you 12 flags on this board,
0:20:35 > 0:20:37and we're looking for the name of any act
0:20:37 > 0:20:38that has won the Eurovision Song Contest
0:20:38 > 0:20:40for one of these countries, please.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43I see. Thank you very much indeed.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45OK, so now we're going to show you an image, as Richard says,
0:20:45 > 0:20:47with various flags on. That image is going to stay up
0:20:47 > 0:20:49for the whole round.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52You just have to say the name of any acts that you think might correspond
0:20:52 > 0:20:54with one of these flags. Here is the image.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58There we go.
0:20:58 > 0:21:0012 flags.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Sue, we start with you.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05Erm...
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- Lulu.- Lulu, says Sue. Lulu.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Absolutely right.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Fantastic. 8 for Lulu.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29What a great score. A good start to the round.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Yeah, Boom Bang-A-Bang was a joint winner.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- Four winners that year. But Lulu was one of them.- Those were the days.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37When was the last time there were four joint winners?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Well, I'd imagine then - 1969.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42France, Spain and the Netherlands also won that year.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- Which is virtually everyone who was in it!- Yeah.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Thank you very much indeed.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- Now, Kulsum.- I can think of some...
0:21:52 > 0:21:54..that I think might be fairly obvious.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58But I'm going to go with someone whose flag I hope is up there.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I'm going to say Conchita?
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Conchita.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04We might need more than just Conchita.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07There were two names there.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09I haven't the foggiest!
0:22:12 > 0:22:15I might have to go with my code word for when I don't know it,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18and say Conchita Flapjacks.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20LAUGHTER
0:22:21 > 0:22:24That is the most extraordinary coincidence.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I've always said, one of these days, it's going to happen.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29But...
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Conchita Flapjacks, let's see if that's right.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35Oh, I'm sorry!
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Oh, Conchita Flapjacks is such a good name.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42There you are. 100 is what that scores you, I'm afraid.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Yeah, sorry, Kulsum, but Conchita Flapjacks is a brilliant name.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46If we don't have Conchita Flapjacks
0:22:46 > 0:22:48representing us in the next few years...
0:22:48 > 0:22:49It's a great name.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54There we go. Now, Thomas.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- What would you like to go for?- I was struggling with the first name
0:22:57 > 0:22:58of the answer on podium two.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02So now I've got the first name, I'll go for Conchita Wurst.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Conchita Wurst, says Thomas.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Conchita Wurst. Let's see if it's right.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Let's see how many of our 100 people said Conchita Wurst.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12It's right.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Look at that! 3 for Conchita Wurst.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21Very well done.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Yeah, well done, Thomas. Rise Like A Phoenix won for Austria.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28There's the Austrian flag.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Thank you very much. Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Let's take a look at those scores. 3, the best score of the pass.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Thomas and Aled looking very strong at this point, I might add.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Then up to 8 where we find Sue and Nigel.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Than 100, Kulsum and Gyasuddin.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42So, yes, we're going to need a low score from you.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44You never know what will happen in the next pass, Gyasuddin,
0:23:44 > 0:23:46so a nice low score might be enough.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48We're going to come back down the line now.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Can the second person please step up to the podium?
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Now then, Aled.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Aled... I mean, for a seasoned radioman like you,
0:23:58 > 0:24:01I'd have thought this is just a walk in the park, a round like this,
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- isn't it?- It's music in the broadest of senses, isn't it?
0:24:04 > 0:24:09But may I just say, Conchita would probably have been my go-to.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12But the other one that I've got is Lordi.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14WELSH ACCENT: Lordi?
0:24:14 > 0:24:16That's good. Is that how we should be saying it?
0:24:16 > 0:24:17It's how I am saying it!
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- LAUGHTER - Who knows?- Lordi.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22OK, I'm going to say it like that, too. 96. There's your red line.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24If you can get below that, you are through.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Lordi. Sounds great like that.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34It's right and you're through.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Very well done.
0:24:38 > 0:24:418 for Lordi.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42Taking your total up to 11.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44- Very good.- Well played, Aled.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46They mean business today, those boys, don't they?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Yeah, won in 2006 for Finland
0:24:48 > 0:24:50with Hard Rock Hallelujah.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Thank you very much, Richard.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Now then, Gyasuddin...
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- I'm struggling with this one!- Oh!
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Erm...
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Catherine And The Waves, is it?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Catherine And The Waves.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08- I'm not sure if that's right but... - Catherine And The Flapjacks.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Let's see. Is it right? No red line for you. You're the highest scorers.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Let's see how many of our 100 people said Catherine And The Waves.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Oh, bad luck, Gyasuddin. I'm sorry.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22That's another incorrect answer,
0:25:22 > 0:25:24taking your total up to 200.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Yeah, joining the 200 club, I'm afraid.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I'll give all the answers at the end of the pass.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Thank very much indeed.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Now then, Nigel, what would you like to go for?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- Sandie Shaw.- Sandie Shaw says Nigel.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40No red line for you.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43You're already through. But let's see how many of our 100 people
0:25:43 > 0:25:44said Sandie Shaw.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48It's right.
0:25:52 > 0:25:5426 for Sandie Shaw.
0:25:55 > 0:25:5734 is your total.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Yeah, Puppet On A String, also a UK number one, won in 1967.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Now, let's look through some of these answers, shall we?
0:26:03 > 0:26:04You've got Israel in the top left.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Dana International would have scored you 7.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Milk And Honey would have scored you 1.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11And Izhar Cohen And The Alphabeta was a pointless answer.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Spain, Massiel, 1. Salome was a pointless answer.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Sweden, four pointless answers.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Mans Zelmerlow, who won in 2015.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Charlotte Nilsson, Herreys and Carola.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21One point for Loreen.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24And the highest answer on the board, unsurprisingly, Abba with 51.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Denmark there and three pointless answers here as well.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Emmelie de Forest, Grethe and Jorgen Ingmann
0:26:29 > 0:26:31and the Olsen Brothers are all pointless answers.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Ireland, should be some scorers here.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Johnny Logan would have scored you 14.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Dana would have scored you 16.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40And pointless answers, Eimear Quinn, Linda Martin, Niamh Kavanagh,
0:26:40 > 0:26:42and Paul Harrington and Charlie McGettigan.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45So very well done if you said any of those. The next flag is Azerbaijan.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Ell and Nikki would have been a pointless answer there.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Austria, we've had Conchita Wurst,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53but also Udo Jurgens would've been a pointless answer.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Now the UK - we've had Sandie Shaw and Lulu.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Katrina And The Waves, Gyasuddin,
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Katrina And The Waves would have scored you 13 points.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Buck's Fizz would have scored you 37 points.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Bigger scorer anyway. And 10 points for Brotherhood Of Man.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06And Switzerland, Lys Assia was a pointless answer.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Celine Dion who, of course, famously won for Switzerland
0:27:09 > 0:27:10would have scored you 4 points.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Norway, Alexander Rybak, Bobby Socks and Secret Garden,
0:27:13 > 0:27:14all pointless answers.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17And two one-pointers for Germany, who are Lena and Nicole.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Very well done if you said any of those pointless answers at home.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Thank you very much indeed. So at the end of our second round,
0:27:23 > 0:27:25the pair we have to say goodbye to, with their high score of 200,
0:27:25 > 0:27:28newest members of the club, Gyasuddin and Kulsum.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29I'm afraid this is the end of the road.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31It's been great having you here.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Thank you so much for coming to play. Gyasuddin and Kulsum.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35APPLAUSE
0:27:36 > 0:27:39But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Well, congratulations, Thomas and Aled, Nigel and Sue,
0:27:46 > 0:27:48you're now one step closer to the final
0:27:48 > 0:27:51and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53which currently stands at £3,000. There we are.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58OK, so we've reached the head-to-head,
0:27:58 > 0:28:00which means you're now allowed to play as a pair.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12OK, here is your first question.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14And it concerns...
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- Richard?- We're going to show you five photos
0:28:20 > 0:28:23of cast members now of TV shows that begin with the letter D,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25but what are the shows, please?
0:28:25 > 0:28:28OK. So let's reveal our five pictures, and here they come.
0:28:28 > 0:28:29We've got...
0:28:55 > 0:28:58There we go. Five television shows that begin with the letter D.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02Now, Thomas and Aled, you are our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06We'll go for A and Desperate Housewives.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Desperate Housewives, say Thomas and Aled.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Now, Nigel and Sue, that board's all yours.
0:29:10 > 0:29:11Talk us through it.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14C is Downton Abbey.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16E is Doc Martin.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18- And D...- Is Dallas.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20So you choose which we go for now.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23D, Dallas.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26You're going to go for Dallas. So we have Desperate Housewives
0:29:26 > 0:29:29and we have Dallas. Thomas and Aled said Desperate Housewives for A.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36It's right.
0:29:42 > 0:29:4322.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Good score. This is going to be very interesting.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51I wonder what Dallas is going to score these days.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54D, Dallas, say Nigel and Sue.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Will it beat 22?
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Oh! 35 for Dallas.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10It still lives on in the public consciousness.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12And that means very well done, Thomas and Aled,
0:30:12 > 0:30:13after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Well played, gents. It's actually the best...
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Of the three answers you knew,
0:30:17 > 0:30:19that was the best score you could have got as well.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Cos C is Downton Abbey, a very big score, 85.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25And a big score for Doc Martin as well, it's a big hit.
0:30:25 > 0:30:2759 points for that.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28And the best answer is B.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30It's an American sitcom.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32It was over here for a couple of years.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Dharma And Greg, sitting in the front there,
0:30:35 > 0:30:36and that would have scored you 2 points.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- Very well done if you said that. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41OK, here comes your second question and this is one you have to win,
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Nigel and Sue, to stay in the game.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45But you get to answer it first, so good luck with that.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Our second question is all about...
0:30:49 > 0:30:53- Richard.- Yeah, simply five clues now to facts relating to Venus.
0:30:53 > 0:30:54Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:30:54 > 0:30:57OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59We've got...
0:31:16 > 0:31:18I'll read those again.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Nigel and Sue, what would you like to go for?
0:31:37 > 0:31:41We'll go for the second one down which we think and hope is Mercury.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Mercury, say Nigel and Sue.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Mercury. Now, Thomas and Aled,
0:31:46 > 0:31:49you can talk us through the board if you can.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50Do you know any for certain?
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- Er...- Because otherwise, I'll go for my punt.
0:31:53 > 0:31:54- Yeah.- Go on, then.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57- Have a stab in the dark. - Top one, Aphrodisiac?
0:31:57 > 0:31:59QUIET LAUGHTER
0:31:59 > 0:32:00No? OK.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02No, I think they were laughing
0:32:02 > 0:32:05because it was such a pleasingly correct answer, Aled.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07LAUGHTER
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Nigel and Sue went for Mercury.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people
0:32:13 > 0:32:14said Mercury.
0:32:23 > 0:32:2533 for Mercury.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32Thomas and Aled have gone for Aphrodisiac for the goddess of love.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Let's see if that's right.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37Let's see if it's right.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44It's not quite right.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46But very well done, Nigel and Sue, you're back in the game.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Yeah, a bit early for an aphrodisiac, isn't it?
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Although aphrodisiac does come from the answer which is Aphrodite.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Aphrodite would have scored you 30 points.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- The Paris museum...?- Is the Louvre.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Louvre. Absolutely. It would have scored you 54.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04- The one at the bottom, the British pop group?- Bananarama.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Bananarama. Would have scored 19 points.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08That would have been a very good answer.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10The best answer on the board is the author.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12You either remember it or you don't, this one.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14- It's John Gray.- John Gray.- John Gray would have scored you 2 points.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16So, again, very well done if you got that.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Thank you very much indeed. OK, here comes your third question.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:33:21 > 0:33:22and plays for that rather nice jackpot
0:33:22 > 0:33:24so best of luck to both pairs.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Our third question is all about...
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- French Cities, Richard. - Good luck, both teams.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32We're just going to show you five names of French cities now
0:33:32 > 0:33:34but with alternate letters missing.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Can you tell us what the cities are, please?
0:33:36 > 0:33:39OK, let's reveal our French cities with bits missing.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40And here they are.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51I'll read those one last time.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Thomas and Aled will go first.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06We'll go for the one we know.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09We'll stick with Marseille, for the bottom one.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11You're going to say Marseille for the bottom one, OK.
0:34:11 > 0:34:16Marseille. So, Nigel and Sue, talk us through the board.
0:34:16 > 0:34:17Struggling with the top one.
0:34:17 > 0:34:23The second one we think is Avignon and then Grenoble, and then Limoges.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26We think we're going to go for Avignon.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Yeah, Avignon, please for the second one.- You're going to go for Avignon.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30So, we have Marseille and we have Avignon.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Thomas and Aled went for Marseille. Let's see if that's right
0:34:33 > 0:34:35and see how many of our 100 people got Marseille.
0:34:41 > 0:34:4265 for Marseille.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Meanwhile, Nigel and Sue have gone for Avignon.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Let's see if that's right.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Let's see how many of our 100 people got Avignon.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Well done. Avignon pips it.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- Well done!- 26 for Avignon.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Which means, Nigel and Sue, after three questions,
0:35:05 > 0:35:07- you're through to the final 2-1. - Very nicely done.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10We'll fill in the scores now for the other ones that you knew.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11Limoges is correct.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17Limoges would have scored 44. Grenoble is also correct.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20That would have scored 39. The best answer is the top one.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22It's Besancon.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Besancon, and would have scored you 8 points.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- Very well done if you said that. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Thomas and Aled.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Very strong performance all the way through the show
0:35:33 > 0:35:36and we can forget all about your early exit last time
0:35:36 > 0:35:38on the strength of that. But I'm afraid you didn't just manage
0:35:38 > 0:35:40to carry it over the line into the final.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42But it's been wonderful having you on the show.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Thanks so much. Thomas and Aled, great contestants.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45APPLAUSE
0:35:47 > 0:35:49But for Nigel and Sue, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Congratulations, Nigel and Sue,
0:35:55 > 0:35:57you have seen off all the competition
0:35:57 > 0:35:59and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:08 > 0:36:12And at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £3,000.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Well, I mean, people can fluke their way through to the head-to-head.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20You know, that happens from time to time.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23But if you make it through twice, you know you're onto something.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25You are in your rightful place, it's fair to say, Nigel and Sue.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27- Thank you.- I wish you were right.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29It's great to have you here. Now...
0:36:29 > 0:36:31the board behind me, you know what it's like in this round.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Four rather random seeming things will come up
0:36:33 > 0:36:37and they might all look impossible but there will be slightly kinder
0:36:37 > 0:36:40subcategories behind each one. Today's selection reads like this.
0:36:40 > 0:36:41We've got...
0:36:51 > 0:36:52Oh, dear.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Great offices of state - we might have a punt.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56I think the scorers we ought to have a go at, don't you?
0:36:56 > 0:36:58You think so? I'll go with you.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03- OK. We'll go for Top Scorers In 14/15, please.- Top Scorers, Richard.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Very best of luck. Three different sports here.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08We're looking for any of the 50 top scorers
0:37:08 > 0:37:11in the English Premier League in 2014/2015, please.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15We are looking for any of the 30 top scorers at the Cricket World Cup
0:37:15 > 0:37:17in 2015. Or we are looking for anyone
0:37:17 > 0:37:19who scored three tries or 40 points
0:37:19 > 0:37:22at the Rugby World Cup in 2015, please.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24So, Premier League top 50 goal-scorers,
0:37:24 > 0:37:25Cricket World Cup, top 30,
0:37:25 > 0:37:28and then anyone who scored three tries or 40 points
0:37:28 > 0:37:30in the Rugby World Cup in 2015. Very best of luck.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Thank you very much indeed.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:34 > 0:37:36and all you need to win that jackpot
0:37:36 > 0:37:39is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- Yes, I think we are.- Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49I think we must have a punt on David Nugent.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- OK.- I'm not even sure whether he's in the top 50.
0:37:52 > 0:37:53- No.- But I think he was...
0:37:55 > 0:37:56We've got to give a chance with Jamie Vardy.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58I don't know how many he scored last year.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02- But again he's got a chance of being in the top 50.- Yes.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04- Other than that...- What about the bloke in rugby
0:38:04 > 0:38:07with the crinkly hair?
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Can you be a bit more specific, do you think?
0:38:10 > 0:38:12I'm really not good... I can only think of...
0:38:12 > 0:38:13Tigers.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Oh, I see. Tuilagi.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- Yes.- You think Tuilagi? Might have been, mightn't he?
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Well, yeah, we weren't there very long, were we?
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Yeah, let's go for him. Let's go for Manu Tuilagi.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- Well, he's a bit obscure, isn't he? - Yeah, let's go for that one, then.
0:38:26 > 0:38:27Those three? David Nugent...
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- Anybody in cricket?- ..Jamie Vardy,
0:38:29 > 0:38:33Manu Tuilagi. No, I've no idea about the Cricket World Cup top scorers.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35Ten seconds left.
0:38:35 > 0:38:41I could take a punt at one of the Indians but I wouldn't...
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- No real confidence. - Well, let's go...
0:38:44 > 0:38:46OK, that is your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Sounds like you've arrived at them anyway.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51OK, so, the Rugby World Cup, we'll go for Manu Tuilagi.
0:38:51 > 0:38:52Manu Tuilagi.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54The Premier League top scorers,
0:38:54 > 0:38:56we've got to give Jamie Vardy a mention.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- Jamie Vardy.- And also David Nugent.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01David Nugent. Of those three,
0:39:01 > 0:39:03which is your best shot at a pointless answer, do you think?
0:39:03 > 0:39:05- Well, I would think... - The rugby one.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- OK.- Manu Tuilagi, we'll put last.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10- Yeah.- Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:10 > 0:39:13- Jamie Vardy.- Jamie Vardy.- Which puts David Nugent in the middle.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16In the middle. OK, well, let's pop those answers up on the board
0:39:16 > 0:39:18in that order, then. And here they are...
0:39:18 > 0:39:20We've got Jamie Vardy, we've got David Nugent
0:39:20 > 0:39:22and we've got Manu Tuilagi.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24OK, well, very, very best of luck.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28Now, if one of these answers were to win that jackpot for you, £3,000,
0:39:28 > 0:39:31what would you do with it? Nigel, you first.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34I think we just might have a hell of a Pointless party.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36- Push the boat out.- Oh, fantastic.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39- Sue, how about you?- Yeah, I think I'll have to go with that.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42- We'd have to have a... - Big Pointless party.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44- Yes.- Oh! Anyway, very, very best of luck.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46As I say, your first answer was Jamie Vardy.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49In this case we were looking for Premier League top goal-scorers
0:39:49 > 0:39:51from the 14/15 season. This has to be pointless, obviously,
0:39:51 > 0:39:53for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Let's find out, for £3,000, how many people said Jamie Vardy.
0:39:56 > 0:39:57Is it right? Is it pointless?
0:40:02 > 0:40:04- No, bad luck.- Oh.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Not a correct answer but you managed to get him mentioned.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Got Leicester into the show once again.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Your next answer was David Nugent.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Again, we're looking for top goal-scorers
0:40:16 > 0:40:18in the Premier League in the 14/15 season.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22For £3,000, how many people said David Nugent?
0:40:26 > 0:40:27Oh, no!
0:40:29 > 0:40:30Oh, we're going for a hat-trick, I think.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32I'm afraid another incorrect answer there.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35So everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:35 > 0:40:36which is Manu Tuilagi.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39This has to be correct, then it has to be pointless
0:40:39 > 0:40:41for you to win that jackpot of £3,000.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Let's see how many of our 100 people said Manu Tuilagi.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Is it a pointless answer?
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Oh, bad luck!
0:40:53 > 0:40:54I'm afraid...
0:40:58 > 0:41:00..that was a lovely clean sweep you made of that round.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02A bridge too far.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06Oh, I'm sorry that category didn't quite suit you there.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08You didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11So I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £3,000.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12That will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14It's been brilliant having you on both shows,
0:41:14 > 0:41:16really strong performance across both of them.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Great to have you through to the final,
0:41:18 > 0:41:20and great to be able to send you home with a Pointless trophy each.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Very well done indeed. Nigel and Sue.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24APPLAUSE
0:41:25 > 0:41:28Yeah, it's unlucky. Tuilagi didn't play at that World Cup.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30You were really unlucky with Vardy and Nugent,
0:41:30 > 0:41:31both of whom scored five goals,
0:41:31 > 0:41:34and six goals was what you needed to be in that top 50.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37There was a Leicester player, though,
0:41:37 > 0:41:38who scored 11 goals in that season
0:41:38 > 0:41:40who was Leonardo Ulloa.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43And he was a pointless answer.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46- Oh!- I'm so sorry.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Let's start with the Premier League top scorers.
0:41:48 > 0:41:5118 goals for Charlie Austin. Remember the season he had?
0:41:51 > 0:41:52Danny Ings also had an amazing season.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55David Silva. Papiss Demba Cisse.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57You could have had Aaron Ramsey, Ander Herrera,
0:41:57 > 0:41:58you could have had Gomis,
0:41:58 > 0:42:02Charlie Adam, you could have had Sakho, Glenn Murray, Graziano Pelle,
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Sigurdsson, Jason Puncheon, Jonathan Walters, Jordan Henderson,
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Kevin Mirallas, Leroy Fer, Loic Remy.
0:42:07 > 0:42:12You could have had Fellaini, Nacer Chadli, Nikica Jelavic, Oscar,
0:42:12 > 0:42:13Sadio Mane, Santi Cazorla.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15You could have had Stewart Downing, Steven Naismith,
0:42:15 > 0:42:18lots and lots of names there. I'm so sorry.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Let's take a look at cricket now.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22David Warner of Australia,
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Ed Joyce who played for Ireland in that World Cup,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27the leading run-scorer of all in that World Cup, Martin Guptill.
0:42:27 > 0:42:28You could have had Dhawan as well.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31You also could have had David Miller, Glenn Maxwell,
0:42:31 > 0:42:32Coetzer, Ul-Haq,
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Rohit Sharma, Sean Williams, William Porterfield of Ireland.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37You could have had Virat Kohli as well.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39So plenty of pointless answers there too.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42And we'll move on to the rugby now.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Again, some big names here, Dan Biggar of Wales,
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Greig Laidlaw of Scotland.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49You could have had Milner-Skudder, Nick Easter.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Everybody apart from Carter, Savea, Farrell,
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Davies, Habana and JP Pietersen,
0:42:54 > 0:42:56everybody else on that list was a pointless answer.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01And I'm so sorry that a Leicester striker
0:43:01 > 0:43:04for the first time in a long time didn't win something.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Thanks very much indeed.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Nigel and Sue, great having you on the show.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10Sadly, though, they didn't win today's jackpot
0:43:10 > 0:43:12which means it rolls over onto the next show
0:43:12 > 0:43:14when we will be playing for £4,000.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
