0:00:16 > 0:00:18CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:29the show that makes big winners out of the lowest scorers.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37And couple number one.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Hi, I'm Parus, I'm from Wembley
0:00:38 > 0:00:41and this is my friend Nihar, who's from Radlett.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Couple number two.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Tony, this is my lovely wife Leaona and we're from County Durham.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Couple number three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Kieran, this is my younger brother Callum
0:00:49 > 0:00:51and we're from Newark in Nottinghamshire.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And finally, couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Liz and this is my beautiful daughter Beverley
0:00:56 > 0:00:59and we're from Helensburgh in Scotland.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01And these are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02APPLAUSE
0:01:02 > 0:01:05A very warm welcome to all of you to Pointless, lovely to have you here,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08we'll chat to each of you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10That leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14A walking, talking explosion at an encyclopaedia factory,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Hiya.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Hey, everybody. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Good afternoon. Hiya.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon.- An awful lot of familiar faces here.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- I know...- Three returning pairs, it's lovely, isn't it?
0:01:27 > 0:01:29We've got Leaona and Tony,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31got knocked out in Round One last time. Hello, Tony.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- It would be nice to see a bit more of them this time.- Yeah.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37It would be physically impossible to see a bit less of them.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Be nice to see a bit more of them this time.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42That would be nice. On our final podium there, Bev and Liz,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44welcome back. Again, a mother doing that thing,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47a parent doing the thing of calling their child by their full name.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Beverley. Beverley's going, "It's not Beverley, Mum, it's Bev,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- "I call myself Bev. Mum!" - GENTLE LAUGHTER
0:01:53 > 0:01:56And the head-to-head, we had Callum and Kieran. Welcome back, gents.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Very impressive performance last time.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01And the boys in the final.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Jon and Andy did ever so well, didn't they?- Oh, they did...
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Andy wanted money to pay for his honeymoon
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- and he got the money, didn't he, with Leicester City players?- Yeah.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Terrific stuff, £2,500 jackpot.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15They didn't particularly like the categories that came up.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16They just went for Leicester by default.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Oh, and still get two pointless answers.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Yeah, they were very, very impressive.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Yeah.- Thank you, Richard.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Now, this all of course means
0:02:24 > 0:02:28that we start off with a nice small jackpot again of £1,000.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29There it is, just to remind everyone.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32There we are. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34APPLAUSE
0:02:37 > 0:02:40So remember this, if you remember nothing else,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:43 > 0:02:44will be eliminated.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Just keep your scores low and you have nothing to worry about.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Best of luck to all four pairs, our first category today...
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Football Geography.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Mm. Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going to go first,
0:02:56 > 0:02:57who's going to go second,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06OK. And our question concerns...
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Richard.- We're about to show you a board of host countries for
0:03:14 > 0:03:17European Championship tournaments, or Euros as they're now called.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20You just have to tell us the name of any town or city that hosted a match
0:03:20 > 0:03:22at any of these tournaments, please.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25OK. As Richard said, we're going to put an image up with these
0:03:25 > 0:03:28host countries on. It won't be changing at the halfway point.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31That board stays up for the entire round, OK?
0:03:31 > 0:03:32So don't expect it to change.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Good luck. Let's reveal those host countries. We have...
0:03:44 > 0:03:45I'm going to read those all again.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Parus, welcome.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- Hi.- Sounds good, you say France, Parus. France, Parus.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Welcome to Pointless, good to have you here.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04I mean, for heaven's sake, from Wembley. It's a hop and a skip.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- It's not that far, is it? - It's really not that far at all.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- What do you do in Wembley, Parus? - I'm a facilities manager for a university.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- I see. Which university? - Loughborough University,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- a new campus on the Olympic Park in London.- Oh, that's exciting.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17What sort of facilities have they got there?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20I think rather impressive facilities on the Olympic Park.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22We've got a number of lecture rooms,
0:04:22 > 0:04:25we've got, erm, a large space,
0:04:25 > 0:04:29we share it with a few other large companies around there, as well.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Very exciting. Now, Parus...
0:04:31 > 0:04:35What about our host towns and cities for European Championships?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I'm going to go with Poland and Ukraine.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Erm, I was there, I was in Wroclaw.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43I don't know if that's the right way to pronounce it.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46W-R-O-C-L-A-W, I think.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- But it's Wroclaw.- Wroclaw. Wroclaw, Wroclaw.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Anyway, whatever it is - what he said.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54LAUGHTER Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57It's right.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08It's very right! Parus, that's a fantastic answer, a pointless answer,
0:05:08 > 0:05:13adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £1,250.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Scores you nothing and gets us off to an absolutely priceless start.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Very well done, yeah, industrial city in western Poland.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Tony, welcome back to Pointless.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Thank you.- Ah, remind us what you do, Tony.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I work in a crisp factory!
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Ah, he works in a crisp factory!
0:05:30 > 0:05:32That's underplaying it slightly, isn't it?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34A crisp and corn snacks factory.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Now, last time we had to say goodbye to you in the first round.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Yeah!- This was far too soon.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I think this first round will suit you better.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Just a little bit.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48I'm going to go for England in '96. Hillsborough, Sheffield.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Sheffield, says Tony.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Let's see how many of our 100 people said Sheffield.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56It's right.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Look at that! Another pointless answer!
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Tony, very, very well done indeed.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08That adds another £250 to today's jackpot,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11takes the total up to £1,500.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Scores you nothing, and means
0:06:14 > 0:06:17we won't talk about last time any more!
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- This is going VERY well, isn't it? - Isn't it?!
0:06:19 > 0:06:24If it continues like this, the jackpot will be over £400,000 by the end of the show.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Amazing.- Yeah.- Thank you very much, Richard.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Kieran, welcome back to Pointless, lovely to have you here again.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Thank you.- Very strong performance last time.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Remind us about yourself, Kieran.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37I'm... I'm a musician and politician.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Are you involved in politics at this stage?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I am, yeah. I'm... I'm a parish councillor.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- Good for you.- And try to get involved in local campaigning and stuff like that.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49So, what sort of things do your parish council deal with?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Erm, we decide who cuts the grass.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54That's important. Important.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57And such issues like that, and anti-social behaviour.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- Late licences.- Yes.- Gaming licences for village lotteries.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02- Yep.- Things like that.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Very good, good for you. - Thank you.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Kieran - how are you feeling about our host towns and cities?
0:07:08 > 0:07:09I'm feeling all right,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12but I'm a bit perturbed by two pointless answers before me.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14A bit much. Yeah.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19So, I'm going to kind of gamble, but I think it's right,
0:07:19 > 0:07:23on Austria and Switzerland as Salzburg.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Salzburg, says Kieran.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Let's see how many of our 100 people said Salzburg.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33It's right.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36It's right. The first bit of the gamble has paid off, Kieran.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Oh, it's still going down.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41It's a pointless answer, look at that!
0:07:41 > 0:07:46That adds another £250 to today's jackpot,
0:07:46 > 0:07:49taking our total up to £1,750.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52It scores you nothing, and earns you our undying respect.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53- That's superb.- Blimey!
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- I know.- Absolutely no pressure, Liz, we've never had four in a row before.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59We've never had an entire pass of pointless answers.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- Ain't going to get it!- That would be nice, wouldn't hit?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03I know, I was just thinking,
0:08:03 > 0:08:08what would happen if we had a lockdown scenario, because everybody was pointless?
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Getting zeros.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Like, until...- And literally just round the corner,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Huw Edwards just going, like that, "I'm trying to do the news, guys!"
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Oh, Liz, whoa!
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Three pointless answers, Liz - it's just like a dream come true, isn't it?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Do I look like a footballer? - What a drum roll!
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Liz, remind us what you do.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31I'm a retired line dance instructor.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34A li... She undersells herself.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Like you weave sort of Celtic knots of line dance formations.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- Yeah.- Yeah.- I just like going out and having fun, Xander.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45OK. Very good indeed.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Er, now... You should devise a Pointless line dance.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50You should use all your inspiration from today
0:08:50 > 0:08:53as a basis for a line dance.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I may be the baby of a lot of boys, but football...
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Right.- Let's try England.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Erm... Birmingham.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03- Birmingham.- Yeah.- Says Liz.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Birmingham. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Birmingham.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Oh! 7.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21It's a 7, Liz,
0:09:21 > 0:09:25but still it's a lovely low score.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Very well played, Liz, yeah, very good answer.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Villa Park held several games.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34From where I'm sitting, it's like a reverse James Bond.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Oh, isn't it?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Thank you very much, we're halfway through the round.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Just two scores between our four pairs.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Zero is the most popular one.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49It's where we find Parus and Nihar, Tony and Leaona, Kieran and Callum.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50And then 7 is where we find Liz and Bev.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52So, Bev. Yes, Bev.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54We need a low score from you.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Oh, dear!- Preferably a minus-7.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Good luck with that, we're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:04 > 0:10:08OK. Now, Bev - remind us what you do.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Erm, I'm a ranger with Loch Lomond and the Trossachs national park in Scotland.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13See, that's... The Trossachs, amazing.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16So, how big is the area that you deal with?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Erm, the whole national park is 720 square miles.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- And your little bit of it? - Well, I can be anywhere.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27I can be working anywhere in the park, wherever we're needed,
0:10:27 > 0:10:30whether we're doing visitor centres or whether we're out on patrol.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34It's all about helping people enjoy why they're there and what they want to do.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Fantastic. And presumably from day to day,
0:10:36 > 0:10:39you have no idea where your job might take you?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Pretty much, yeah.- It could be anything.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44It changes every day, and that's what is brilliant about it.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Lovely. Such a beautiful part of the world.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- Now, Bev...- Ah!- There you are, the highest scorers, on 7 -
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- we need a low score from you. - Oh, gosh!
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I'm just... I'm going to go Sweden.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57I just flew in there this summer. Er, earlier on this summer.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59So, Stockholm.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00OK, Stockholm, says Bev.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03OK, Stockholm. No red line for you, you're the highest scorers.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Let's see how far down the column we get with Stockholm.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Oh, God!- It's right!
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- 18 for Stockholm.- Not bad.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Taking your total up to 25.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- It's a correct answer, Bev. - Yeah, very well played.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24It will be interesting now,
0:11:24 > 0:11:28you wouldn't want your partner to give a pointless answer,
0:11:28 > 0:11:30and then to blow it from here, would you?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32That's, what, three people with that...
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Oh, yeah.- ..prospect ahead of them.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Oh! Now, then...
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Oh, Callum! That must be so...
0:11:37 > 0:11:39That must just be awful!
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- It's...- Oh, the pressure on you!
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Especially due to my interest in sport.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Not just interest in sport, you're studying to become a sports journalist.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Erm, I don't want to embarrass myself.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Let's talk about how sports journalism took root.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55When did you decide that was what you wanted to do?
0:11:55 > 0:12:00- Erm, quite a long time ago, really. - Yeah.- So, I'm now 18 years old,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03but I've always wanted to be a journalist, within sport,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05since I'd say about ten years old.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Did you find yourself reporting - you'd watch things and go and tell people about them?
0:12:09 > 0:12:10Well, yes, kind of,
0:12:10 > 0:12:14but just because I just like to watch sport on TV and go and watch
0:12:14 > 0:12:17sporting events across the country.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18Yeah. Very good.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Now, then, Callum - we've got a lot of pointless answers.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Wouldn't it be nice if we could get that jackpot up to 2,000?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28However, if you can score 24 or less...
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Yeah.- ..you're through to the next round - let's not lose sight of that.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34I'm not sure how much of a risk it is,
0:12:34 > 0:12:36but I'm going to say Vienna.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Vienna, says Callum. Here's your red line.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41If you get below this with Vienna, you're through to the next round.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44How many people said it, is it right?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46It's right.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51And you're through...
0:12:51 > 0:12:5212.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Perfectly good, 12 is your total.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Well done, Callum.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I think you got away with that. Yeah, 2008 final was held in Vienna,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04when Spain beat Germany.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Thank you very much, Richard.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Now, then, Leaona.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10- Mm-hmm.- Remind us what you do, Leaona.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Oh, I'm... I've just graduated,
0:13:12 > 0:13:16and I'm about to start my teacher training.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Teaching in further education.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Very exciting. And you also do karate?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- I do, yes.- You do karate with your daughter.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Not very well but, yeah, I try.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- What colour belt do you have? - I'm orange.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31That is several shades better than my belt.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Now, then, Leaona -
0:13:34 > 0:13:36if you can score 24 or less,
0:13:37 > 0:13:39you remain with us.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Erm, as France is on there twice,
0:13:43 > 0:13:47I figure I would maybe choose a French town or city?
0:13:47 > 0:13:51- OK.- And hope that maybe Marseille?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Marseille, says Leaona.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55- Mmm.- OK. Here is your red line -
0:13:55 > 0:13:58if you get below it with Marseille, you're into the next round.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00How many people said Marseille?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05It's right.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10You've done it! Very well done indeed,
0:14:10 > 0:14:1215 for Marseille, Leaona!
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Salutations to you!
0:14:14 > 0:14:1615 is your total.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Yeah, England drew with Russia there in 2016.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Thank you very much indeed. Now, Nihar, welcome.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- What do you do, Nihar? - I'm a physiotherapist.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26What kind of physiotherapy do you do?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- So, I...- I don't know why, I'm just setting the scene here.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32This is... This is my bed.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- OK.- OK.- I'm a respiratory therapist,
0:14:35 > 0:14:38so I work with people's lungs and breathing, and chests...
0:14:38 > 0:14:39I see, OK.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43I work in the critical care environment. So, I kind of work with unwell patients,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45kind of...help them regain lung function.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- I see.- So, it's very different to
0:14:47 > 0:14:49the perception of normal physiotherapists.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Right you are. And Nihar, what are your interests?
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Football is one, but I don't want to say that too loud.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00I do a lot of activities, so kind of, I ran a marathon this year,
0:15:00 > 0:15:01I cycle a lot.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I've climbed three mountains this year, so...
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Steady on, Nihar! I'm feeling inadequate here!
0:15:08 > 0:15:09What would you like to go for?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Wouldn't it be great if we could get one more pointless answer -
0:15:12 > 0:15:14just one more?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I think I'm going to play it safe.
0:15:16 > 0:15:17Ni...!
0:15:19 > 0:15:21I'm going to go for Kiev.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Kiev, says Nihar.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26OK, let's see how many of our 100 people said Kiev.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Here is your red line - get below that with Kiev and you are through.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34It's right.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39You're through!
0:15:39 > 0:15:419 for Kiev! There we are!
0:15:45 > 0:15:479 takes your total up to 9.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51I think I would have played it safe there as well, given your situation.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53And if you ARE going to be a chicken, might as well go for Kiev.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- LAUGHTER - Er, now...
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers, though,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02you could have gone for. Well done at home if you said any of these.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Charleroi in Belgium, Gelsenkirchen, which was in the West German Euros.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Innsbruck, in Austria.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Leeds would have been a pointless answer.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Leiria, in, erm, Portugal.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Liege, in Belgium, would have been another good pointless answer.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Poznan, in Poland.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Salzburg we've already had, and Sheffield we'd already had.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21A few other answers you could have gone for.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Nantes. Lviv in Ukraine -
0:16:24 > 0:16:28one of the only cities in the world that's spelt entirely in Roman numerals. L-V-I-V.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29Saint-Denis in France,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32and Strasbourg in France was also a pointless answer.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Let's take a look at the top three scorers,
0:16:33 > 0:16:36the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Thanks very much, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I'm very sorry to say the pair we have to say goodbye to,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53with their high score of 25, it's Bev and Liz.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54I'm sorry.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57There was nothing wrong with either of your answers.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Nothing wrong at all.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00We have come up against some tough people.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- You have.- They have been good.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04They are really very, very strong opponents, there.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07It's been lovely having you on the show, thank you so much, Bev and Liz!
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Well, I can't remember a first round like it.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Very impressive indeed.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Three pointless answers,
0:17:25 > 0:17:29and we have, representing each of those three pointless answers,
0:17:29 > 0:17:31the three pairs in front of me now.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33But very, very well done Parus and Nihar,
0:17:33 > 0:17:35our standout class swots there.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Very good indeed. But best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Our category for Round Two today is...
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54OK, and the question concerns...
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Jazz Musicians.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Just a couple of shows ago, Richard,
0:18:00 > 0:18:03you were saying how jazz didn't really set you on fire.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Yeah, I'm not a big... This would not be a perfect round for me.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09If we were a pair, then football, I would carry you,
0:18:09 > 0:18:13and you would then have the slightly arduous task of carrying me in this round, I suspect.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16On each board, we're going to show you six descriptions of jazz musicians or singers,
0:18:16 > 0:18:18you just have to tell us who they are.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20So, 12 in all to have a go at at home.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22There are 12 jazz musicians!
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- Wow!- Yeah.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- There you go!- Every day's a school day!
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Isn't it? Is it not?!
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Let's reveal our first board of clues. Here they come.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I'm going to read those all again.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Parus.- I'm not very good with this.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I only know one of them,
0:19:35 > 0:19:36I'm trying to just think if I can
0:19:36 > 0:19:38think of the others at all.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40OK. Erm, I'm going to just go with
0:19:40 > 0:19:42the one that I know,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44which is Louis Armstrong, the top one.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45Louis Armstrong, says Parus -
0:19:45 > 0:19:48let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Not bad!
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Look at that, 54.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58That could be a lot higher.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Yeah, and that nickname a contraction of "satchel mouth", because...
0:20:03 > 0:20:06he had a big mouth. We would be fine, by the way, on this round.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07I think we would, yeah.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- I think you could probably answer... - You would have no carrying to do.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14There we are. Thank you, Richard. Er, Kieran,
0:20:14 > 0:20:15how is this board for you?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17It's all right, I know a couple,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19which I'm quite pleased about,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21considering I said I'm a musician.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24But I think the second from the top
0:20:24 > 0:20:27is Ella Fitzgerald.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28Ella Fitzgerald, the First Lady of Song.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Let's see how many of our 100 people said Ella Fitzgerald.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37It's right. 54 is the only score so far...
0:20:37 > 0:20:38And you've passed it.
0:20:38 > 0:20:4438 for Ella Fitzgerald. Not bad, Kieran. Not bad at all.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Had a career spanning almost six decades, Ella Fitzgerald.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Mmm. Now, Leaona,
0:20:50 > 0:20:52this board is all yours.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Would you like to talk us through it?
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Thank you. Erm, no!
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Erm, I knew those two
0:20:58 > 0:21:00and I honestly don't know another.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I can remember we once saw a guy
0:21:02 > 0:21:04in a concert...
0:21:04 > 0:21:05But I can't remember his name,
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I don't know if he's one of those!
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Well, I think I've heard
0:21:10 > 0:21:11this name before,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13and I'm just putting it to this...
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Nina Simone? For "Born Eunice Waymon." NS.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20OK, Nina Simone, Eunice Waymon.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Let's see if that's right, Nina Simone.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Very well done indeed, Leaona.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Nina Simone's absolutely right.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32It's not only right, it's the best
0:21:32 > 0:21:35score of the pass, so very well done!
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Well played, Leaona,
0:21:40 > 0:21:42held your nerve very nicely there.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Muse did a cover version of Feeling Good -
0:21:44 > 0:21:48it was voted the greatest cover version of all time in the NME.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49The Kind Of Blue trumpeter...?
0:21:49 > 0:21:50- Miles Davis.- Miles Davis.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Would have scored you 10.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Erm, the pianist?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- Dave Brubeck.- Dave Brubeck.
0:21:56 > 0:21:5720 points for that.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59And the BBC Radio 2 presenter?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Jamie Cullum. He'd have scored 5,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03so that's the best answer on the board.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Well, we are halfway through the round -
0:22:06 > 0:22:08let's look at those scores. What about that, Leaona?
0:22:08 > 0:22:1024, the lowest score of the pass. Very well done.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Then up to 38, where we find Kieran and Callum.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16And then 54, Parus and Nihar. So, Nihar, we're going to need
0:22:16 > 0:22:19a low score from you. Good luck with that.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23We're going to come back down the line now - can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:25 > 0:22:30OK, let's put six more jazzers up on the board - and here they are.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01I'm going to read those all again.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29There we go. Now, then, Tony...
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Well, erm...
0:23:34 > 0:23:35I haven't a clue really except one.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38And this is still a stab.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Er, "Vocalist portrayed by
0:23:40 > 0:23:42"Diana Ross" - Billie Holiday?
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Billie Holiday, says Tony.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47There you are on 24, you want to score 29 or less,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49that's what it looks like in red line terms.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Let's see how far down the column we get with Billie Holiday.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56It's right.
0:23:59 > 0:24:0244 - not bad at all. Taking your total up to 68.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06You might well have done enough to get yourselves into the head-to-head.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Yeah, one of the greatest jazz singers of all time
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I think, probably, universally recognised.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Had no formal training at all.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Now, then, Callum.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Callum, if you can score 29 or less,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23you are in the head-to-head.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Unfortunately, I don't think I can,
0:24:24 > 0:24:25I don't know any...
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Can't take any wild guesses, either.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Jazz music isn't my thing,
0:24:30 > 0:24:32unfortunately.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35I'll just have to guess and say...
0:24:35 > 0:24:37the pianist and singer who had
0:24:37 > 0:24:38UK number one albums
0:24:38 > 0:24:40with Come Away With Me
0:24:40 > 0:24:41and Not Too Late, er -
0:24:41 > 0:24:44I guess it's wrong...
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Er, Niels Jeppesen. I don't know.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47- Niels Jeppesen.- Niels Jeppesen.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50OK. Let's see if that's right, here is your red line.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53If you get below that with Niels Jeppesen, you are through.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00No. Bad luck.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03I'm sorry, Callum, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:25:03 > 0:25:06and it scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 138.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08But the round is not yet over.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Yeah, sorry, Callum, but Niels Jeppesen WAS a pointless answer
0:25:11 > 0:25:13for Swedish cities which hosted games in the Euros.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Thanks very much, Richard.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Now, then, Nihar - are you a jazz fan?
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- No.- Ah.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Now, then - this board is all yours.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Erm... I'll be guessing,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27so I'm going to have a little think
0:25:27 > 0:25:28of jazzy names.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Ye-es.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36OK, it's a total stab in the dark, I'll go for the top one as Noel James.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Noel James.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Let's see if it's right, here is your red line.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Noel James, you've just... That's the name you have put together.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Yes.- It's good, isn't it?
0:25:46 > 0:25:47- MJ, it fits!- Yeah.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Erm, let's see what happens.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55I'm afraid not.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Good news for Kieran and Callum - bad news, I'm afraid,
0:25:58 > 0:26:00for Nihar and Parus. 154 is your total,
0:26:00 > 0:26:02that's scoring you 100 points there.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Yeah, sorry, gents, not the right answer.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06I would have been fine. I got...
0:26:06 > 0:26:08I got all of them, we'd have been laughing,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- we'd have been in the head-to-head. - Did you get the bottom one too? - I did.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- Do you want to ask me?- Erm... - I will ask you. But I did get it.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- Charlie Mingus. - Charlie Mingus, yeah.- Yeah.
0:26:16 > 0:26:171 point for that.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Er, the bandleader?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21- Duke Ellington.- Duke Ellington.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Would have scored 18.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24The saxophonist?
0:26:24 > 0:26:25- Charlie Parker. - Charlie "Bird" Parker.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Would have scored 21.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Er, the next saxophonist?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30- John Coltrane.- John Coltrane.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Would have scored you 5. Now, the one you might struggle with...
0:26:33 > 0:26:34but I worked it out.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36I was very pleased with myself when I worked it out.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38XANDER GASPS
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- Norah Jones.- Norah Jones is exactly right.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43And that would have scored you 8 points.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46So, Charlie Mingus is the best answer up there, well played if you said that.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Thank you very much indeed. OK, so, at the end of our second round,
0:26:50 > 0:26:52we have to say goodbye to Nihar and Parus,
0:26:52 > 0:26:54our brilliant low scorers in the first round.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56We'll see you next time, I'm sure you'll go
0:26:56 > 0:26:58much further. But it's been great having you on,
0:26:58 > 0:27:00thank you so much, Nihar and Parus!
0:27:04 > 0:27:07But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head!
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Congratulations, Leaona and Tony, Kieran and Callum -
0:27:15 > 0:27:18you are now one step closer to the final, and a chance to play
0:27:18 > 0:27:20for that jackpot, which currently stands now,
0:27:20 > 0:27:24lest we forget, at £1,750.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25So, here we are, head-to-head -
0:27:25 > 0:27:28that means you are now allowed to confer before you give your answers,
0:27:28 > 0:27:32and the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Best of luck to both pairs - who knows what's going to happen?
0:27:34 > 0:27:37But let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Here's your first question. And it concerns...
0:27:46 > 0:27:47Disaster Movies.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- Richard.- We're going to show you five pictures now from disaster movies -
0:27:50 > 0:27:52but which disaster movies?
0:27:52 > 0:27:56OK, let's reveal our five pictures, and here they come. We have got...
0:28:23 > 0:28:25OK, there we go. Five disaster movies,
0:28:25 > 0:28:29you just have to name the one you think the fewest of our 100 people got.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Leaona and Tony go first.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43We're going to go for E. I think that's Twister.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Twister, say Leaona and Tony.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47Twister, E.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Callum and Kieran - talk us through that board.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Yeah, we only know two.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55We know that B is Titanic.
0:28:55 > 0:29:00And we're hoping that C is Towering Inferno.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- And that's the one you're going to go for?- Yes, please. Yeah.
0:29:03 > 0:29:04C, Towering Inferno.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07So, we have Twister and we have Towering Inferno.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Leaona and Tony said Twister for E -
0:29:10 > 0:29:12let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16It's right.
0:29:20 > 0:29:2328 for Twister. Not bad, Leaona and Tony.
0:29:26 > 0:29:27Meanwhile,
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Kieran and Callum have gone for C
0:29:29 > 0:29:32and said Towering Inferno.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37It's right.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Ooh, and it wins you the point! There we go!
0:29:43 > 0:29:4618 for Towering Inferno! Very well done indeed, Kieran and Callum.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Oh, I love The Towering Inferno.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53What a great film - won three Oscars.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Erm, A - do you know that?
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- Perfect Storm. - It is The Perfect Storm, yep,
0:29:57 > 0:29:58that would have scored you 20.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02B is Titanic, of course.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Would have scored you 85.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09And D is the best answer up there -
0:30:09 > 0:30:10it's The Core.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13And that would have scored you 2.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Thank you very much, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20Now, then, Kieran and Callum get to answer it first, but Leaona and Tony,
0:30:20 > 0:30:22you have to win this one to stay in the game, so good luck.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Our second question today is all about...
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Food Sayings. Richard...
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Going to give you the first letters now of a series of sayings
0:30:31 > 0:30:34which involve the name of a food or drink or condiment.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37But what are the sayings, please? All from Oxforddictionaries.com.
0:30:37 > 0:30:38OK, thank you very much.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Let's reveal our five food sayings, and here they are.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Let me read those again...
0:31:22 > 0:31:24So, Callum and Kieran will go first this time.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30OK, erm... We only know one,
0:31:30 > 0:31:32er, and it's the one said
0:31:32 > 0:31:33by a photographer
0:31:33 > 0:31:35to encourage the subject to smile,
0:31:35 > 0:31:37as, "Say cheese".
0:31:37 > 0:31:39"Say cheese", say Kieran and Callum.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Now, then, Leaona and Tony, talk us through that board.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44"There's nothing at all
0:31:44 > 0:31:47"that could induce me to do that"...
0:31:47 > 0:31:49"Not for all the tea in China"?
0:31:49 > 0:31:50"Make an apology
0:31:50 > 0:31:52"and accept humiliation", erm...
0:31:52 > 0:31:53- "Eat humble pie."- Yeah.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55- Erm...- Do you know the others?
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Not sure about the other two.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59We'll go for "Eat humble pie".
0:31:59 > 0:32:01"Eat humble pie". So we have "Say cheese" and "Eat humble pie".
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Er, Callum and Kieran said "Say cheese".
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:32:09 > 0:32:10It's right.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Ooh, hoo-hoo, it's 80!
0:32:13 > 0:32:1680 for "Say cheese".
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Leaona and Tony, meanwhile, have gone for "Eat humble pie".
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Very well done.
0:32:29 > 0:32:3338 is what it scores, but it gets you back in the game.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35It means after two questions, it's 1-1.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Yeah, good work with that top one, "Not for all the tea in China" -
0:32:37 > 0:32:39it's a low scorer, actually,
0:32:39 > 0:32:40would have scored 17.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42The bottom one,
0:32:42 > 0:32:43"Reach the required standard"...
0:32:43 > 0:32:45- "Cut the mustard." - "Cut the mustard."
0:32:45 > 0:32:46Would have scored 25.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48I couldn't work out this last one, I had to look it up.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- "Butter wouldn't melt." - "Butter wouldn't melt", yeah.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53And that would have scored 8 points.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55- Very well done if you said that at home.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57OK, now, here comes the third question.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01Whoever wins this one goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot, so best of luck.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Our third question is all about...
0:33:03 > 0:33:05the Midlands.
0:33:05 > 0:33:06Richard.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08We're just going to show you five clues now to facts about
0:33:08 > 0:33:12the English Midlands - can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five clues,
0:33:14 > 0:33:16and here they come...
0:33:40 > 0:33:41I'll read those all again...
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Leaona and Tony will go first.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11We're going to go for
0:34:11 > 0:34:13the Olympic swimmer...
0:34:13 > 0:34:14who was in The Jump,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16We're going to go for Rebecca Adlington.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20Rebecca Adlington, say Leaona and Tony.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Now, then, Callum and Kieran, that board is all yours.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Do you want to talk us through it?
0:34:24 > 0:34:26We'll talk through the ones we know.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28We think the Gravelly Hill Interchange
0:34:28 > 0:34:29is Spaghetti Junction.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30And that's the only one we know,
0:34:30 > 0:34:32other than the one we're going for,
0:34:32 > 0:34:34the Nottinghamshire woodland,
0:34:34 > 0:34:37which we hope is Sherwood Forest.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Sherwood Forest. So, we have Rebecca Adlington and Sherwood Forest.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Leaona and Tony said Rebecca Adlington.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Let's see how many of our 100 said that.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48It's right.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Oh, look at that! 17.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Good score there, Leaona and Tony.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02That is what you have to try and beat, Callum and Kieran,
0:35:02 > 0:35:05with Sherwood Forest. Let's see if you can.
0:35:09 > 0:35:10It is Sherwood Forest.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Oh, bad luck. 78 for Sherwood Forest.
0:35:15 > 0:35:16Well done, Leaona and Tony.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19After three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23Well played. Best answer on the board against the highest scorer on the board there.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26- Salop was the official name of...- Shropshire.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28That would have scored 31.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Absolutely right about Spaghetti Junction,
0:35:30 > 0:35:31would have scored you 54.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33And the author of Sons And Lovers...
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- DH Lawrence.- DH Lawrence.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37And that would have scored you 30.
0:35:37 > 0:35:38Thank you very much indeed.
0:35:38 > 0:35:39So, the pair leaving us at the end
0:35:39 > 0:35:41of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid,
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Kieran and Callum. Twice you've been in the head-to-head round.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48Twice within touching distance of the final and that jackpot,
0:35:48 > 0:35:50but I'm afraid this is where we have to say goodbye to you.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52It's been great having you on both shows.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Thank you so much for playing. Kieran and Callum, wonderful contestants.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01But for Leaona and Tony, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Congratulations, Leaona and Tony,
0:36:07 > 0:36:11you have seen off all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:20 > 0:36:25At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at...
0:36:25 > 0:36:29Well, your first answer on the show today was a pointless answer.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32If you can just bookend this show with another pointless answer,
0:36:32 > 0:36:34you'll be walking away with £1,750.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37What would you like to come up? Leaona, I'm going to come to you first.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39What would you like to come up?
0:36:39 > 0:36:43I'm not sure. Maybe '90s pop music.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- That would be nice.- Tony likes the good music of the '90s,
0:36:46 > 0:36:47I like the cheese music of the '90s so...
0:36:47 > 0:36:49- Got it all covered. - Could be good between us.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Good luck. Let's hope today's selection doesn't scare you too much. We have got...
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Decades Of Formula One?
0:37:05 > 0:37:08I mean, if it was when I was younger, my dad made me watch it.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10'A's In Literature could be anything.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Christmas? Let's go Christmas.
0:37:12 > 0:37:13- Christmas...- Christmas, please.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14Christmas is jolly.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Of course. Come on! That's a gift, isn't it?
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Yes.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Richard.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22Merry Christmas, everybody.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24We're looking for any of the following three things -
0:37:24 > 0:37:27we're looking for any of the cast of It's A Wonderful Life,
0:37:27 > 0:37:28according to IMDb.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31We are looking for any of The Nation's Favourite Carols
0:37:31 > 0:37:33as voted for by Classic FM in 2015.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35So the title of any of those carols.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Or we're looking for any artist who's ever had a UK top 40 album
0:37:37 > 0:37:39with the word "Christmas" in its title,
0:37:39 > 0:37:43up to the end of December 2015, please.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45So, cast of It's A Wonderful Life,
0:37:45 > 0:37:46Nation's Favourite Carols 2015
0:37:46 > 0:37:49or artists with top 40 "Christmas" albums.
0:37:49 > 0:37:50Thank you very much indeed.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Now, you have got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers
0:37:55 > 0:37:59- to be pointless. Are you ready? - Yeah.- Ready.- OK.
0:37:59 > 0:38:00Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Your time starts now.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Never seen Wonderful Life.
0:38:04 > 0:38:05- You have.- It's Jimmy Stewart...
0:38:05 > 0:38:07It's your mam's favourite film.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09I haven't seen it. Mam's seen it.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- You know some carols...- Yeah.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14- Obvious ones.- Away in a Manger.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Once In Royal David's City. Good King Wenceslas.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18Go for them, aye.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Artists, Christmas number ones...
0:38:20 > 0:38:22- No. Artists with... - Oh, "Christmas" albums.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Mariah Carey? Slade...
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Oh, yeah! Things like that.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29Compilation ones.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Who's brought out
0:38:31 > 0:38:32compilation albums for Christmas?
0:38:32 > 0:38:34- Cliff?- Who does cover things?
0:38:34 > 0:38:38- Cliff Richard...- Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, something daft like that.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41You think?! They've brought out a Christmas album?!
0:38:41 > 0:38:42½Kelly...
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Kelly Clarkson?
0:38:44 > 0:38:46I'm sure Kelly Clarkson brought one out
0:38:46 > 0:38:48but I don't know if it had "Christmas" in the title,
0:38:48 > 0:38:50but it might be worth a punt. Who else...?
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- Think of some carols. - Ten seconds left.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Once In Royal David's City.
0:38:55 > 0:38:56Good King Wenceslas.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58- Kelly Clarkson...- Away In A Manger.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00THEY BOTH LAUGH
0:39:02 > 0:39:04OK. That is your time up,
0:39:04 > 0:39:08let's have your three answers now and which category you're answering from.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Yes. Artists with top 40 "Christmas" albums...
0:39:10 > 0:39:12I know Kelly Clarkson brought one out, I think.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- Shall we go for Kelly Clarkson?- Yes.
0:39:15 > 0:39:16Nation's Favourite Christmas Carols,
0:39:16 > 0:39:19we'll go Good King Wenceslas,
0:39:19 > 0:39:21- and...- Good King Wenceslas.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23And Once In Royal David's City.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24Once In Royal David's City. OK.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:27 > 0:39:29- Kelly Clarkson.- Kelly Clarkson, if it's right.- We'll put last.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:32 > 0:39:33Good King Wenceslas.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36OK, and Once In Royal David's City goes in the middle.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Well, let's put those answers on the board in that order, then.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49Well, three answers on the board, any one of those could be pointless.
0:39:49 > 0:39:54If you were to win 1,750 quid, what would you like to do with it? Leaona, you first.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58I think we'd put it towards a holiday with the kids,
0:39:58 > 0:40:01probably visit Disney.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03OK. Lovely. Tony, anything else you want to add to that?
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Probably just pay for me season ticket.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08LAUGHTER
0:40:08 > 0:40:11- Take the kids on holiday, yeah.- OK.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Your first answer was Good King Wenceslas.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17In this case, we were looking for The Nation's Favourite Carols.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21If this is pointless, it wins you £1,750.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24How many of our 100 people said Good King Wenceslas?
0:40:26 > 0:40:28It's right.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31It just has to be pointless now
0:40:31 > 0:40:34and you will win that jackpot of £1,750.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Down we go. Through the teens,
0:40:36 > 0:40:37into single figures...
0:40:37 > 0:40:389.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Not a bad score. Unfortunately, not a pointless answer.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50So we move on to your next answer which is Once In Royal David's City.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Again, if this is pointless, it wins you £1,750.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55How many of our 100 people
0:40:55 > 0:40:58named Once In Royal David's City as one of The Nation's Favourite Carols?
0:40:58 > 0:40:59Is it pointless?
0:41:02 > 0:41:04It's right.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Your first answer was right, took us all the way down to 9,
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Good King Wenceslas.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Now, Once In Royal David's City takes us down through the teens...
0:41:11 > 0:41:14We've passed 9. Still going down...
0:41:14 > 0:41:16to 2.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24OK. OK.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27So now we move away from carols, we move on to
0:41:27 > 0:41:31UK top 40 albums that have the word "Christmas" in their title.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Kelly Clarkson is the artist you have named.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37If Kelly Clarkson is pointless, it wins you £1,750.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Let's see how many of our 100 people said Kelly Clarkson.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Oh, no, bad luck!
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Oh, bad luck.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52It was a guess.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Tell you what, two very good answers there.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Once In Royal David's City took us tantalisingly close to that jackpot.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00But I'm afraid you didn't find that pointless answer
0:42:00 > 0:42:02so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04That will roll over onto the next show,
0:42:04 > 0:42:06but it's been brilliant having you on.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08But you get a Pointless trophy each, so don't forget that.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10- Very well earned. BOTH:- Thank you.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Yeah, very well played. You were thinking along exactly the right lines.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Kelly Clarkson did have a Christmas album. It was called Wrapped In Red.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Let's start with It's A Wonderful Life though.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20All sorts of pointless answers here.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Everyone apart from Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore,
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Ward Bond, Robert J Anderson and Henry Travers.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Everyone else was a pointless answer in that film,
0:42:27 > 0:42:30so well done if you said any of those or any of the others.
0:42:30 > 0:42:31The Nation's Favourite Carols...
0:42:37 > 0:42:41You could have had Angel's Carol, Angels From The Realms Of Glory, Coventry Carol.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45And now let's take a look at some of the artists with a UK top 40 album.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52..You could have had Andrea Bocelli, Annie Lennox.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Chas and Dave would have been a good one.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Foster and Allen, Michael Ball, New Kids On The Block, Paul Potts,
0:42:57 > 0:43:01Phil Spector, Rod Stewart, Susan Boyle - lots and lots of pointless answers out there.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Well, Leaona and Tony,
0:43:07 > 0:43:10I'm very sorry to say you didn't win the jackpot today
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 £2,750.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20Join us next time to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile it's goodbye from Richard...
0:43:20 > 0:43:23- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
