0:00:15 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:21 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless, the show where the aim
0:00:25 > 0:00:28of the game is to score as few points as you can - and you do that
0:00:28 > 0:00:30by coming up with the answers no-one else could think of.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39- And couple number one. - Hi, I'm Nihar, and I'm from Radlett,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42and this is my friend, Parus, and he's from Wembley.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Simon, this is my wife, Rachel, and we're from West Yorkshire.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50- Couple number three.- Hi, my name is Steve. This is my friend, Kayvon, and we're both from Poole.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53And finally, couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Chloe, I'm from Birmingham, and this is my friend, Natasha, and she's from Surrey.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Thanks very much, all of you. A very warm welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you all here.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07We'll get a chance to chat to each of you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Breathing down our necks like a weirdo on the Tube,
0:01:12 > 0:01:15it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Hiya.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22Hey, everybody. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Breathing down your necks
0:01:22 > 0:01:23like a weirdo on the Tube.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Goodness me.- Yeah.- I'm too tall to breathe down your neck,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28I'd be breathing on the top of your head, to be fair.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Which is less scary. Lovely show last time.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Just Parus and Nihar back from that, got knocked out in Round Two.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Lovely to have you back, gents.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Lovely to have three new pairs with us.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Who knows what joys they will bring us?
0:01:39 > 0:01:45Round One... Round One, every single person I think, all eight of you,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47are going to go, "What?"
0:01:47 > 0:01:52And I would say 97% of people at home are going to go, "What?"
0:01:52 > 0:01:54But all will be revealed.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56OK. Looking forward to that.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Oh, this is exciting. Leona and Tony didn't win the jackpot last time.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I mean, not exciting for them, but for you, it's exciting,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04because it means we add another £1,000 to that, and today's jackpot
0:02:04 > 0:02:07therefore starts off at £2,750.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19As if you needed reminding,
0:02:19 > 0:02:23the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be
0:02:23 > 0:02:26eliminated, so just keep your scores low and you'll be fine.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Our first category today is Places.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to first, who's going to go
0:02:35 > 0:02:38second, and whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Ha-ha-ha! What?! Unusual Demonyms.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- You know what demonyms are, don't you?- Yeah.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58You know demonyms - they're like jeans.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02No, a demonym is simply a description,
0:03:02 > 0:03:06it's the word that is used when we describe where someone is from.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09OK? And on each board I'm going to show you seven descriptions of where
0:03:09 > 0:03:12someone is from in the UK, seven different places, the demonym.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16You'll see it when you see the board, and we've all learned a new word as well, haven't we, which is
0:03:16 > 0:03:19nice. Seven on the first board, seven on the second, 14 in all to have a go at, at home.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- Very best of luck. - OK, thank you very much.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Let's reveal our first board of demonyms, and here they are.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26We've got...
0:03:26 > 0:03:27HE READS THE CLUES
0:03:32 > 0:03:34I'm going to read those one last time.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Parus, with you.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Remind us what you do, Parus.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I'm a facilities manager for Loughborough University, based in London.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49But the Loughborough base in London -
0:03:49 > 0:03:51does Loughborough have bases elsewhere in the world?
0:03:51 > 0:03:55No, so this is the first satellite campus and it's based on the
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- Olympic Park in Stratford. - So as facilities manager,
0:03:57 > 0:03:59you're running around getting everything up and running.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Are they linked directly by all sorts of cables to the hub of Loughborough?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07We are in the fastest-connected building in Europe.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10It's the old Broadcast Centre, where the Olympics were broadcast from.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Good stuff. OK, now then, Parus.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14This is fun, isn't it?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I can think of a few of them.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20It's just a question of which ones I'll get lower on.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I'm going to go with the top one, and say that's from Canterbury.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Cantabrigian, from Canterbury.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Let's see if that's right, let see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35- Oh!- Yes.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38You'd be absolutely right to think that.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I'm afraid it's 100 points, Parus.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Yeah, sorry, Parus, I don't know if it's good news or bad news to know
0:04:44 > 0:04:46that 52 of our 100 gave the same answer as you,
0:04:46 > 0:04:48but it's still wrong.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Thanks very much. Rachel, welcome to Pointless, here from West Yorkshire.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Yes.- What keeps you busy in West Yorkshire, Rachel?
0:04:57 > 0:05:01I work as an administrator for a physiotherapy company.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02A physiotherapy company.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Yes.- So how many people are in the company?
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Oh, lots and lots.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08So it's a company, not a practice?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11No, they've got 15 practices, up and down the country...
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Oh, I see what you mean.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16That IS a company. My goodness, a lot of stuff to administer there.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- Yes.- What are your interests, Rachel?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I like to read a lot,
0:05:21 > 0:05:26especially true crime and historical books,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28and I have recently started gardening,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30much to my mother's delight.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- That's nice.- She's been trying to make me be a gardener for a while.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Are you a plant gardener, or a veg and fruit gardener?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Oh, gosh, no. Plants, and hope that it lives.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44That's nice. Now, Rachel, what would you like to go for on our board?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48I think I only do know one, and I'm not sure if it's right,
0:05:48 > 0:05:52but I'm going to try Manx and say Isle of Man.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Isle of Man, says Rachel, for Manx.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Let's see how many of our 100 people said Isle of Man.
0:06:00 > 0:06:0283.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Well, that's nice, some company for Parus there.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Not too far away, and it's better than 100.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11There is a breeding colony of 100 wild wallabies on the Isle of Man.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Two escaped from a zoo, and there's now a wild colony.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19- That's sweet, isn't it?- There's going to come a point where it's going to be quite annoying.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Do you think? At what point? How many wallabies is annoying?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- I don't know.- 100 wallabies - sweet.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26100 wallabies, 100 breeding pairs of wallabies.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27There's 100 wild wallabies.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29100 wild wallabies. That's fine.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30- Yeah.- That's nice.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33But if two became 100 that quickly,
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- you've got to wonder how quickly 100 will become...- Well, it would be
0:06:36 > 0:06:3850,000, wouldn't it, if it continues at that rate.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- Exactly, yeah.- Yeah.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Of course, Isle of Man gives the lie to the old proverb "no man is an island".
0:06:45 > 0:06:47It does.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49It does. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Pleasure.- Now, Steve, welcome.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Good to have you here, from Poole.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- That's right, yeah.- What do you do, Steve?- I'm a civil servant.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58And what are your interests, Steve?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Well, before... A couple of years ago I retired,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03but I used to be a national level trampoline gymnast.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Did you really?
0:07:07 > 0:07:08- I did, yes.- That's amazing.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11And that really is fantastic, like a sort of wallaby
0:07:11 > 0:07:13from the Isle of Man.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Indeed.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17That's extraordinary. So how did you do?
0:07:17 > 0:07:18What level did you reach?
0:07:18 > 0:07:19So I reached national level,
0:07:19 > 0:07:23I represented England internationally on a couple of times,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- a couple of occasions. - That's just extraordinary.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Congratulations. So how do you do that, as a trampolinist?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Do you do it as a solo trampoliner and it's your performance that's marked?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34That's right, yeah, essentially there's different disciplines.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37You can do synchronised, where you've got a partner,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40but I specialised in just individual trampolining.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Very impressive, Steve.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Anyway, now, can you impress us with these demonyms?
0:07:45 > 0:07:46Probably not.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I'm going to do my best, and it might mean we join the 100 Club,
0:07:50 > 0:07:54but when I was an apprentice in the civil service, I had a colleague who
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I think might be one of these.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01He was from Barrow-in-Furness, so I think Barrovian might be that.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02Barrow-in-Furness.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Let's see how many of our 100 people said Barrow-in-Furness.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10It's right, it is Barrow.
0:08:13 > 0:08:1441.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17The best score so far, Steve.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24- Very well played, we had a couple of Barrovian jackpot winners, didn't we?- We did.- A little while ago.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27They had a question about Barrow, about Barrow Football Club,
0:08:27 > 0:08:29and one of them's father had been captain of Barrow Football Club,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32and one of them's son was a season-ticket holder of Barrow Football Club.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Mm. Although, in FURNESS, they did know a lot about it.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38LAUGHTER
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Thank you very much. Now, Natasha, welcome to Pointless.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Good to have you here. What do you do, Natasha?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47I am business support for a recruitment company.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50I see, and what excites you when you're not doing that?
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Shoes.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Very good. Do you have lots and lots of pairs of shoes?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57I do have lots and lots of pairs of shoes, yes.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00What's the most exciting pair you have?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02I've just ordered a snakeskin pair.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- In which colour? - Black, it's a bit boring.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Just like mine, I can't believe it.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Now, Natasha, what would you like to go for? This board is all yours if
0:09:12 > 0:09:14you fancied going through all these demonyms?
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Um, Dundonian I would maybe guess at maybe Dundee.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Oxonian, I would go for Oxford.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25So I'm going to go with that one, Oxford.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Oxonian, Oxford, says Natasha.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Let's see how many of our 100 people said Oxford.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34It's...
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I didn't even have time to say it was right, but it is right!
0:09:38 > 0:09:3991 is what it scores you.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I honestly thought that board was going to be slightly easier.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43There's some very, very big scores up there.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45That's one of them, Oxford.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Another huge score, Dundonian, of course, Dundee.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49That would have scored you 88.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- Cantabrigian...- Cambridge.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Cambridge. That would have scored you 25.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Salopian...- Shropshire.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57That would have scored 34.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Now, there is a tough one on the board, Silhillian.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- Solihull.- Ah, Solihull.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- Yes, of course.- That would've scored two points, so that's a terrific answer. Well done if you said that.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Well done if you are one, as well, a Silhillian.- Yes. Well done.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Thank you very much, well, we're halfway through the round, let's took a quick look at our scores.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Look at that, 41 is where Steve and Kayvon are.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Very much the only people in the bottom half of the scoreboard there,
0:10:19 > 0:10:21because there's a party going on at the top.
0:10:21 > 0:10:2583 is where we meet Rachel and Simon, 91, Natasha and Chloe,
0:10:25 > 0:10:28and then up to 100, where Parus and Nihar currently reside.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31So that's nice, you're all there together, not too far apart actually.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Chloe, Simon and Nihar - Nihar in particular -
0:10:34 > 0:10:38we need low scores from you to make sure you stay with us at the end of the round, so good luck. We're going
0:10:38 > 0:10:42to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48OK, let's put seven more demonyms up on the board, and here they are.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49We have...
0:10:55 > 0:10:57I'll read those all again.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05There we are. Chloe, welcome to Pointless.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Great to have you here. Chloe, what do you do?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09I also work in recruitment.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11So that is how you and Natasha know each other.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- Yes. Yeah, we're colleagues.- Whose idea was it to come on the programme?
0:11:14 > 0:11:19- Mine.- Was Natasha - be honest - was Natasha the first person you asked?
0:11:19 > 0:11:2391 points, I'll just put that...
0:11:23 > 0:11:26I just walked in the office one day and said, "Who wants to come on Pointless?"
0:11:26 > 0:11:28And she said, "Oh, me, I'll come on," and here we are.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Fantastic. And here you are.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Yeah.- Now, what are your interests, Chloe?
0:11:32 > 0:11:38I like going out with friends over weekends and I sometimes like to run
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- as well.- Going out over weekends - that's a long night out, isn't it?
0:11:40 > 0:11:44That's off on Friday night, back sometime lunchtime on Sunday.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- Yeah.- Um, now, Chloe, you aren't the high scorers.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Actually, if you could score eight or less,
0:11:49 > 0:11:51you'd be straight into the next round.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54How does that board appear to you?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I think I know two or three.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59It's just which one to go for.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05I'll go for Colcestrian and Colchester.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Colchester, seems reasonable enough. Here's your red line coming in.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10If you get below that with Colchester, you're straight into the next round.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Let's see how many of our 100 people said Colchester.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16It's right.
0:12:17 > 0:12:1882.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21APPLAUSE
0:12:21 > 0:12:24173 - well, they have been high scores, all of these.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Yeah, the only known chariot racing track in Roman Britain was in
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Colchester. It seated 15,000 spectators.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36It's also the home of the world's oldest surviving hot cross bun,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Colchester.- A strange thing to preserve, but there we are.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Do you think? But then, well, look, it's paid off now, hasn't it?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Hasn't it?- Cos it just got mentioned on the show.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Yeah, exactly. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Now, Kayvon, welcome.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- Hello.- Good to have you here.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52What do you do, Kayvon?
0:12:52 > 0:12:53I'm also a civil servant.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57CHUCKLING
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- Interesting.- Really interesting.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- Kayvon.- Yes. - What are your interests?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Um...- See what he says.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- Similar to Steve.- Oh, yes, yes.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11I still am a trampoline gymnast.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Oh, no, you're kidding? - No, no, I am.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17You ARE trampoline gymnast and a civil servant?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Yeah.- Is that where they get all civil servants from?- Yeah.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22They do a big recruitment every year.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25As soon as you've done a massive jump, they pull the trampoline away,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27they get a sack.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- That's how it works. - Take you down to Bournemouth.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- This doesn't make any sense at all. - None at all. None at all.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Something's up here, isn't it? And then down and then up again.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Yeah. LAUGHTER
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Wow. Anyway, Kayvon, proceed, what would you like to go with?
0:13:44 > 0:13:47You are through to the next round - even if you score 100 points,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49you won't overtake our high scorers.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52OK, um, I don't really know a lot of them,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55but I'm going to take a guess that Exonian is Exeter.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Exeter, says Kayvon - no red line for you, you're already through.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Let's see how many of our 100 people said Exeter.
0:14:06 > 0:14:1070, that isn't bad at all, takes your total up to 111.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Well played, Kayvon. The beautiful Guild Hall in Exeter,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16the oldest civil building still in use in the UK.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Dates from 1330.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21That's impressive. Simon.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- What do you do, Simon? - I'm a rope access supervisor.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28A rope access supervisor.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- Yes.- Which is to do with... That's not ropes in museums, no.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- No, no, no.- Is it going down on...?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36It is indeed, yes.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40I look after a few teams of guys who abseil down chimneys,
0:14:40 > 0:14:44that sort of thing, power stations, painting them, preparing them.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46So it's sort of what might have been called a steeplejack,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- once upon a time.- Yes. - That kind of thing.
0:14:48 > 0:14:5021st century steeplejack.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52A 21st century steeplejack, I see.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53And what are your interests, Simon?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I particularly like open-water swimming.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59How open are we talking? English Channel?
0:14:59 > 0:15:00Not quite yet.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Lake Windermere.- Lake District - Windermere, Coniston, that sort of thing.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05OK, very nice indeed, very good.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Are you the sort of person who goes in very gently,
0:15:07 > 0:15:09or do you walk to the end of a jetty and throw yourself in?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Throw yourself in, or else you never get in.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14OK, very good. Now, Simon, you're on 83,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17you have to score 89 or less to stay with us.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I can't believe that I'm going to go with a really obvious one,
0:15:20 > 0:15:23I'm just gambling on the other scores being high,
0:15:23 > 0:15:25so I'm going to say Glaswegian, Glasgow.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30OK, tactically, you might have done something sensible.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Rachel is not sure.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Here's your red line - if you get below that with Glaswegian, well done.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Ah!
0:15:42 > 0:15:43Look at that, Simon!
0:15:43 > 0:15:45APPLAUSE
0:15:45 > 0:15:4998, great news for Chloe and Natasha over there on the far podium,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52but 181 now is your total.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I mean, there's some spectacular scoring going on, I have to say.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58It's weird how some of them have absolutely caught on and we use them
0:15:58 > 0:16:02in everyday language, like that one, but others...others less so.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Yeah, OK, thank you very much. Now, Nihar.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Nihar, welcome back. Remind us what you do.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Physiotherapist.- You're a respiratory physiotherapist.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Yes.- Which is a very senior kind of physiotherapy.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Nihar, remind us what your interests are.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20So I have a new allotment, which I spend a lot of my time on.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Very good. How long have you had it?
0:16:22 > 0:16:23About eight months now.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26I see, so when you get a new allotment do you find all sorts of
0:16:26 > 0:16:30things that the previous incumbent was growing suddenly sprouting up?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Yeah, so we had raspberries and rhubarb that we didn't plant,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35that just came out, which is quite nice, which is a good start.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- What have you planted? - Potatoes, beetroots, carrots,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40we've got some nice pumpkins going.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Very good. Courgettes?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Courgettes as well, yes, so...
0:16:44 > 0:16:46What's the difference in time between a courgette and marrow?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48If you leave a courgette, how long before it suddenly goes...
0:16:48 > 0:16:50..and it's a great big marrow?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- Haven't read that part of the book yet.- OK.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Listen, flying by the seat of your pants, we'll learn together.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Nihar, you are on 100 points.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Now, the high scorers are behind you, Simon and Rachel, 181.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06Simon took a massive gamble on you not knowing any of the other things
0:17:06 > 0:17:09on the board. 80 or less is your target.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14I'll be guessing, but I think Nova Scotia, maybe for that one, and
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Loiner, I don't know why, but Leicester screams out as well.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20The other two, I don't know.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I don't know if Nova Scotia is even if the UK.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I don't know if I'm pronouncing it right.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I think I'll go with that one, Novocastrian and Nova Scotia.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Nova Scotia for Novocastrian.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36OK, there is your red line,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38let's see what happens when we say Nova Scotia.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I'm afraid not, Nihar.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer. It scores you 100 points.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53You've just made six great friends down to your right, but, yeah,
0:17:53 > 0:17:55that sees you up to 200.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00Yeah, Nova Scotia is in Canada, and Nova Scotia means New Scotland.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03So it's Newcastle. I've never heard them called that, I have to say.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06They call themselves... I would call them Geordies...
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Yes.- ..by and large, rather than Novocastrians, but, yeah,
0:18:09 > 0:18:11you can work it out from the words.
0:18:11 > 0:18:1336 points for that.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Orcadian is the Orkney Islands.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Oh, they also deliver supermarket food, which is brilliant. I...
0:18:21 > 0:18:23They are very good.
0:18:23 > 0:18:2628 points for that. Yes, that's one of their specialities.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Now, these last two are quite hard, I would say.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Now, Loiner, I'll tell you the first letter is the only clue.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35It's not Leicester, it's not Leicester.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Leicester, I would have thought with the "I", but Leeds is the only other "L" I can think of.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Leeds is right. Again, not one I've ever heard, but it is Leeds -
0:18:42 > 0:18:45would have scored you eight points. And Sarnian....
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- It's an island.- Sark.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49No. Near Sark.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Near Sark, anyone? Come on, Steve. - I think it's one of the Channel Islands.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55I think it's either Guernsey or Jersey, but I think it's Guernsey.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58It is Guernsey, yeah, very, very well played.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Guernsey would have scored you 2 points.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03The scene of the world's first-ever underwater arrest.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04Were you involved in that?
0:19:04 > 0:19:06LAUGHTER
0:19:06 > 0:19:07I cannot confirm nor deny.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Scuba diver arrested someone harvesting shellfish.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13- Wow.- Yeah.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19That's extraordinary. Thank you very much indeed. Well, we are at the end of our first round and the pair we
0:19:19 > 0:19:22have to say goodbye to, with the highest score of 200, Nihar and Parus, I'm sorry.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24I still feel you've been underused.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28I feel you could have gone much, much further, but it's a great shame to say goodbye to you.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Thank you so much for playing, Nihar and Parus, great contestants.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32APPLAUSE
0:19:34 > 0:19:37But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45And look at that, we've already said goodbye to one of our pairs, we have
0:19:45 > 0:19:49to say goodbye to another pair at the end of this round. But well done, everyone - you made it through
0:19:49 > 0:19:52the first round, and with such lovely high scores as well.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56To be commended. Simon and Rachel, beautiful, 181.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Wonderful! You were in touching distance of the 200 Club.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Steve and Kayvon, our lowest scorers there,
0:20:02 > 0:20:04so they are the ones to watch out for, I would say.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Anyway, best of luck to all three pairs.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Our category for Round Two today is...
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22OK, and the question concerns...
0:20:26 > 0:20:28This is going to be fun. Richard.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Yeah, what we're going to do, we're going to show you 16 pictures now of
0:20:31 > 0:20:35famous people, but all the photographs were taken in the 1980s.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Can you tell us who these people are, please.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40There we are, now, so we're going to show you the 16 people.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42They will remain on the board for the whole round,
0:20:42 > 0:20:44so we won't be changing them halfway through.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Let's see who they all are. We have got...
0:20:47 > 0:20:48..these people...
0:20:50 > 0:20:52..in the 1980s.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Simon.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03There they are, in their '80s pomp, but who are they?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I'm going to go with a not-so-obvious one.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- Tony Blair.- Tony Blair, says Simon.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Let's see how many of our 100 people said Tony Blair.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18It's right.
0:21:21 > 0:21:2467 for Tony Blair.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Yeah, there he is on the second row. Whatever happened to him?
0:21:30 > 0:21:31Look at that hair!
0:21:31 > 0:21:33You know, it does make... When you look at that board
0:21:33 > 0:21:36it makes you realise quite how long ago the 1980s were, doesn't it?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Isn't that terrifying?- Yeah.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40We are so old.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- There it is.- There we are, well, you know.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Kayvon.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I'm going to go with Christian Bale.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50Christian Bale, says Kayvon.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56It's right.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59Passes Tony Blair.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03By quite a long way.
0:22:03 > 0:22:08Down to 4. Very well done indeed, Kayvon.
0:22:08 > 0:22:094.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Great answer, Kayvon, very well played.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14In the bottom right, of course.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Starred in Empire Of The Sun as a child actor in the '80s, in '87.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Thanks very much, Richard.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Chloe.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I will go for...
0:22:27 > 0:22:28..Drew Barrymore.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- Drew Barrymore. - Drew Barrymore, says Chloe.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39It's right. 67 is our highest score, 4 is our low.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Look at that, 14, very well done, Chloe.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Well, this is more like it, isn't it, after Round One.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55There she is, she was six years old when she appeared in ET, 1982.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Thank you very much. We're halfway through the round.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Let's have a quick look at those scores. 4, very well done, Kayvon and Steve, lovely low score there.
0:23:02 > 0:23:0614 is where we find Chloe and Natasha, 67, Simon and Rachel.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08So Rachel, we need a low score from you. Good luck.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12We're going to come back down the line now - can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Now then, Natasha, you're on 14,
0:23:17 > 0:23:20which means 52 or less gets you through to the head-to-head.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23So who are all these people, pictured in the 1980s?
0:23:26 > 0:23:30I'm pretty sure, but I'm going to go for Sue Barker.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Sue Barker, says Natasha, Sue Barker. Here is your red line.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36If you get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39It's right.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44You are in the head-to-head, just.
0:23:44 > 0:23:4644, 58 is your total.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53She's presented A Question Of Sport for over 20 years, Sue Barker.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- Has she really?- Amazing, isn't it? - Amazing.- Very impressive.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00- She's very good.- She's brilliant at it.- She is. Thank you very much indeed.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Now then, Steve, there you are,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05lovely low score from Kayvon in the first pass there.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07So 62 or less keeps you in the game.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Yeah, this is quite a scary one cos I recognise quite a few faces,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14but I'm not sure which is going to be the lowest score.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16So it's do I risk it, or do I not?
0:24:19 > 0:24:22I think I'm going to try and go in the middle and say someone I think
0:24:22 > 0:24:24is going to get a low enough score.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26I'll go with Jeremy Beadle.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Jeremy Beadle, says Steve.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Here is your red line.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32If you can get below this red line with Jeremy Beadle, you are into the
0:24:32 > 0:24:34head-to-head. How many people said it?
0:24:39 > 0:24:40Sorry.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Oh. Oh.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Not Jeremy Beadle.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48He's tricked you. There you are, 100 points I'm afraid, for that.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- 104 is your total.- Yeah, no Beadle, I'm afraid. I'll give all the correct answers
0:24:52 > 0:24:54at the end of the pass. I'm just trying to work out... I think I know
0:24:54 > 0:24:58which one you think is Jeremy Beadle, but I will let you know who that is.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59Thank you very much.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Now then, Rachel. Oh, there you are,
0:25:02 > 0:25:05a lifeline thrown to you by Steve there.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08You're on 67, they're on 104 - 36 or less is what you need.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Um, I do know all but one of them.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16It's just which one.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21I think I'm going to go with Anthea Turner.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Anthea Turner, says Rachel. There is your red line -
0:25:24 > 0:25:27let's see if you can get below that with Anthea Turner.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30It's right.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35And you're through, there we are.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Very well done, 19, Rachel.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Superb.
0:25:38 > 0:25:3986 is your total.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Very well played. You know what, we had the best two answers up on the board during the round,
0:25:47 > 0:25:50which are Christian Bale and Drew Barrymore, so very well played.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53The one you thought was Jeremy Beadle
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- is actually Diana Ross. - LAUGHTER
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Would have scored you 48 points.
0:26:08 > 0:26:13Apropos of nothing, the gentleman in the bottom left is Steven Spielberg.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15For a moment I thought it was David Baddiel.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Yeah, he would have scored 23. Let's start in the top, so top left.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- Cyndi Lauper.- Cyndi Lauper, she would have scored you 31.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23- Next to...- Prince William.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Oh, yeah, look at him, he would have scored you 51.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28- Then...- Judi Dench.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Yeah, Judi Dench, would have scored 36 points.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- Then...- Kylie Minogue.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Kylie Minogue, 71.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38The next row next to Tony Blair.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- Linford Christie.- Yeah.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Linford would have scored you 26.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45- Below Linford...- Julie Walters.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49She'd have scored you 17 points, another very good answer.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50- Next to Julie Waters... - Gary Lineker!
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Cheer up, Gary!- You know what, he's aged well, I'm going to say,
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- Gary Lineker.- He has, hasn't he?
0:26:55 > 0:26:5650 points for Gary.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58As has Brad Pitt.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Brad Pitt, yes, he'd have scored you 26.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- And he looks the same.- He just looks the same.- He hasn't changed.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Tom Jones would have scored you 72.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08There we are, thank you very much, Richard.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11So, we're at the end of our second round and I'm sorry to say,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14our two bouncing civil servants, we have to say goodbye to them.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Steve and Kayvon, it's been great having you on the show. We'll see you next time. I'm sure we'll get
0:27:18 > 0:27:21much further. Meantime, thanks very much for playing. Steve and Kayvon.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27But for the remaining two pairs it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Well, congratulations, Chloe and Natasha, Simon and Rachel.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36You're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our
0:27:36 > 0:27:41jackpot, which currently stands at £2,750.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46We've made it to the head-to-head, which means you're allowed to confer before you give
0:27:46 > 0:27:50your answers. The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Well, this is... This is uncharted waters, you know, we have two
0:27:53 > 0:27:55newcomers coming straight through to the head-to-head.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58But, Simon, you like open water, so you, I hope,
0:27:58 > 0:28:02will be comfortable here. Chloe and Natasha are our low scorers there.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Who knows what'll happen here? Best of luck to both pairs.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:18 > 0:28:19Claude Monet, Richard.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22We're going to show you five Claude Monet paintings, we need the titles of them, please.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25We're going to give you alternate letters of each title.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Thank you very much indeed. Let's reveal our five Monet paintings.
0:28:28 > 0:28:29And here they come.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Phew!
0:28:46 > 0:28:47Let me read those again!
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Chloe and Natasha, you will go first.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Feel free to confer.
0:29:04 > 0:29:05THEY WHISPER
0:29:21 > 0:29:25OK, we're going to go for the top one.
0:29:26 > 0:29:27Water-lily.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30OK, you're going to say Water-lily.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33OK, Water-lily, say Chloe and Natasha.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Simon and Rachel, that board is all yours.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Would you like to talk us through it?
0:29:39 > 0:29:41We only know the bottom two, don't we?
0:29:41 > 0:29:45We do, yes. Well, we think we know the second bottom.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49We think that is Woman Seated On A Bench.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53But the one we'd like to go with is the bottom one.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55The Thames Below Westminster.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57The Thames Below Westminster.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01So, we have Chloe and Natasha saying Water-lily and we have Simon and
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Rachel saying The Thames Below Westminster.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06So, Chloe and Natasha, Water-lily, is that right?
0:30:06 > 0:30:08How many of our 100 people said Water-lily?
0:30:12 > 0:30:15I'm afraid not Water-lily. Which means, Simon and Rachel,
0:30:15 > 0:30:17you just have to be correct with The Thames Below Westminster and you
0:30:17 > 0:30:20will win this point. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24It's absolutely right, very well done.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Goes down to 16. But crucially,
0:30:31 > 0:30:33it was right, which means, Simon and Rachel, well done,
0:30:33 > 0:30:36after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Very nicely played. Not Water-lily.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40- Lilies.- Water-lilies, yeah.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43And that would have scored you 54 points.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45The next one down...
0:30:46 > 0:30:47..is a plant.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- Oh, Poppies.- Poppies, yeah.
0:30:50 > 0:30:5220 points for that.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54It is Woman Seated On A Bench.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Could only be Woman Seated On A Bench or Women Seated On A Bench.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59But it is Woman. Well played, 6 points for that.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01And the last one is a pointless answer.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04It's under and it's...
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Court, somewhere-court, under.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08It's Lavacourt Under Snow.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12- Oh, that's nice.- Very well done if you said that at home.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Thank you very much indeed. Here comes your second question.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Chloe and Natasha, you have to win this one to stay in the game,
0:31:17 > 0:31:19so best of luck, because Simon and Rachel get to answer it first.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Our second question is all about...
0:31:24 > 0:31:25Richard.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Yeah, we're going to give you five clues now to towns and cities that had a team
0:31:29 > 0:31:32in the English Premier League or Championship in 2015-2016,
0:31:32 > 0:31:34but which are these towns and cities?
0:31:34 > 0:31:36OK, let's reveal our five clues.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38And here they come.
0:31:38 > 0:31:39We've got...
0:32:08 > 0:32:10There we are. Five pictorial clues.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Simon and Rachel will go first.
0:32:12 > 0:32:13Feel free to confer.
0:32:31 > 0:32:32- B.- We're going to go with B.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Watford.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Watford. OK, Watford, say Simon and Rachel.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Chloe and Natasha.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Do you want to talk us through that board?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Well, A, I think is Liverpool.
0:32:46 > 0:32:47C, Ipswich.
0:32:49 > 0:32:50D is Bournemouth.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52And E...
0:32:52 > 0:32:54OK, we'll go for E and Fulham.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55You're going to go for Fulham, E.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57So, we have Watford and we have Fulham.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Simon and Rachel said Watford for B.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:33:05 > 0:33:06It's right.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13That's a good answer. 13.
0:33:16 > 0:33:2113 for Watford. Meanwhile, Chloe and Natasha have gone for Fulham, for E.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Let's see how many of our 100 people said Fulham.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29It's right.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Got to beat 13.
0:33:32 > 0:33:3330, for Fulham.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37I thought that might go down a bit further. Very well done, though,
0:33:37 > 0:33:42Simon and Rachel. That means after only two questions you're straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Yes, very well played, that's actually the best answer on the board there, Watford.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46John Ford, the film director, there.
0:33:46 > 0:33:51A typically huge win for Fulham, so come on, you Whites, well played!
0:33:51 > 0:33:52Liverpool, the top one.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55This scores 48 points.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58C, which I thought was Bright-on, but it's not.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02That of course is an IP address and a switch. You were quite right - Ipswich.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Would have scored you 22.
0:34:05 > 0:34:06And Bournemouth...
0:34:08 > 0:34:09..scores 18.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12I just couldn't get Baby Teeth United out of my head there!
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So, the pair leaving us at the end
0:34:18 > 0:34:20of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid it's Chloe and Natasha.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Our low scorers right the way up till this round.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Then I'm afraid you came up against Simon and Rachel,
0:34:26 > 0:34:30who just underscored you. It's good news for us, it means we'll see you again next time. We'll look forward
0:34:30 > 0:34:33to that very much. In the meantime, thanks so much, Chloe and Natasha.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39But for Simon and Rachel, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Well, congratulations, Simon and Rachel.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47You've seen off all the competition and you have won our coveted
0:34:47 > 0:34:49- Pointless trophy.- Oh, brilliant.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00And at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,750.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Well, I mean, what a sprint to the finish that was.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Because, you know, we started... I remember Glaswegian in Round One.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13- 98 points.- Tactical, tactical!
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Tactical, tactical, says Simon.
0:35:16 > 0:35:17But actually, so it proved.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Here you are, and 2-0 in the head-to-head.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23No arguing with that. Usually, I mean, not always,
0:35:23 > 0:35:26but usually that means people go on and do very well in this last round.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30I wonder what you'd like to see come up on this board.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31Um...
0:35:31 > 0:35:32Anything but football.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Yeah, not sport.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Um, geography for me.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Geography possibly, yeah.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40Yeah, geography.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44OK. Well, let's see what's up there. Today's choices are...
0:35:46 > 0:35:47LAUGHTER
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Well, definitely not the top one.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- No.- Films, no.
0:36:01 > 0:36:02Irish pop...
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Other than The Pogues, I don't know any.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- Westlife.- I think we should go with the North Of England.- We'll have to
0:36:09 > 0:36:12go with the North Of England, since we're from the north of England.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14We'll go with North Of England.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- The North Of England.- Very best of luck. Three very different questions
0:36:17 > 0:36:19in very different areas, hopefully one will suit you.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23We are looking for the names of any stations on the Greater Manchester
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Metrolink tram network, please.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30We are looking for any GB cyclists who took part in the Tour of
0:36:30 > 0:36:35Yorkshire in 2016, so anyone born in Britain who took part in that.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Or we are looking for any cast member of the 1996
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Our Friends In The North, so anybody according to IMDb
0:36:40 > 0:36:42who appeared in Our Friends In The North.
0:36:42 > 0:36:47So stops on the Manchester Metrolink tram network,
0:36:47 > 0:36:49the Tour de Yorkshire GB cyclists,
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- and the cast of Our Friends In The North. Very best of luck.- Thanks very much, Richard.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:36:55 > 0:36:58and all you need to win the jackpot is for just one of those answers
0:36:58 > 0:37:00to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:00 > 0:37:01Yes.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Um, the cyclists, I don't know any.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12- Do you?- Chris Froome.
0:37:12 > 0:37:13- Possibly.- Possibly.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17- Move on.- Cast of Friends In The North, is that...?
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Was that the programme where there was the three of them and things all
0:37:20 > 0:37:22went wrong, was it that one?
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Because Daniel Craig was in that, I think.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29- Daniel Craig, then. - But I mean, pretty well known.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31So was the guy...
0:37:32 > 0:37:36The guy who was Doctor Who for a while, Christopher somebody.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39- Christopher, Christopher.- Do you know who I mean? Christopher...
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- I do, yes.- I can't remember his last name.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44I don't think they'll accept half an answer.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45Metrolink stations.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Oh...
0:37:47 > 0:37:48Piccadilly.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52I don't know any Metrolink stations.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Ten seconds left.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Possibly Manchester Piccadilly might be on that.
0:38:00 > 0:38:01Yeah, yeah.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Daniel Craig, Chris Froome.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06- Yes.- Manchester Piccadilly.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09That, I'm afraid, is your time up. I'm so sorry. It sounds like you've arrived at three answers.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- Yes.- Shall we go for those ones, then?
0:38:12 > 0:38:13- OK. Yes.- Give them to me again,
0:38:13 > 0:38:15if you say which category you're answering as well.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18From the Metrolink stations, Manchester Piccadilly.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- Manchester Piccadilly. - The cyclists, Chris Froome.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26- Yeah.- Chris Froome.- And Friends In The North, Daniel Craig.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Daniel Craig. Now, of those three answers, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- Daniel Craig.- I don't think any will be pointless!
0:38:32 > 0:38:33Shall we put Daniel Craig last?
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- Yes.- Daniel Craig. - Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37- I think...- Piccadilly.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Piccadilly's wrong, we'll put that one first.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43OK. Well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then,
0:38:43 > 0:38:46and here they are. We have got Manchester Piccadilly, Chris Froome,
0:38:46 > 0:38:47Daniel Craig.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51The question is, though, will one of them be pointless?
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Cos if one of them is pointless you will leave here with £2,750.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58What would you like to do with that, Simon, if you were to win it?
0:38:58 > 0:39:01We're planning a visit back to Australia.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03We went to Australia a couple of years ago to visit our son,
0:39:03 > 0:39:06when he was travelling, but there's so much more of the place we'd like to see.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09We just went to Sydney and Melbourne, so we'd like to tour round.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Very nice. Anything else you'd like to add to that, Rachel?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14No, I think I completely agree with that, yeah,
0:39:14 > 0:39:15put it in the Australia fund.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18OK, well, your first answer was Manchester Piccadilly.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21In this case we were looking for any station on the Manchester Metrolink
0:39:21 > 0:39:25line. If this is pointless, it will win you £2,750.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Let's see how many people said Manchester Piccadilly.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Well, it's right. There we are,
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Manchester Piccadilly takes us down through the 50s.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39If we stop at 0, you leave here with £2,750.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41We're still going down.
0:39:41 > 0:39:4323.
0:39:43 > 0:39:44Not bad.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50I tell you what, if Manchester Piccadilly scored 23, it gives you
0:39:50 > 0:39:54some idea of how any station on that network might have won that point for you.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Anyway, there we are, we move on to your second answer.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Chris Froome, in this case we were looking for the Tour de Yorkshire
0:40:00 > 0:40:02riders in 2016.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Let's see how many of our 100 people said Chris Froome.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07If it's pointless, it wins you £2,750.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Wow.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18OK, so we've learned demonyms and Chris Froome wasn't in the Tour de
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Yorkshire. There we are, two things to take away from today's show.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Our third answer in this round is Daniel Craig.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28In this case we were looking for cast members of Our Friends In The North.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31If this is pointless, it will win you £2,750.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Let's see how many of our 100 people said Daniel Craig.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41It's right. Manchester Piccadilly took us all the way down to 23.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Chris Froome turned out to be an incorrect answer,
0:40:43 > 0:40:46but Daniel Craig is absolutely right, down we go,
0:40:46 > 0:40:48passing 23, into the teens. Into...
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Oh. 10 for Daniel Craig.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Well, you did incredibly well there and all sorts of answers are going
0:40:57 > 0:40:59to start flooding into your head, I should think.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02You'll suddenly remember Metrolink stations, maybe,
0:41:02 > 0:41:04or cast members of Our Friends In The North.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07Anyway, I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless
0:41:07 > 0:41:10answer so I'm afraid you won't win today's jackpot of £2,750.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13That will roll over onto the next show but it's great having you here.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15You've done it all in one show, which is incredibly impressive,
0:41:15 > 0:41:192-0 in the head-to-head and a Pointless trophy each to take back so very, very well done.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Yeah, very well played, terrific stuff.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25I think that so many of our north-west viewers will be all over
0:41:25 > 0:41:28that, the Metrolink, so I'll show you some of the pointless answers.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32Then I'll go through everything that scored points just to break your heart, if one of yours did.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Let's take a look at a few pointless answers.
0:41:34 > 0:41:35You could have said...
0:41:39 > 0:41:41These are the ones that scored points,
0:41:41 > 0:41:44so I know you're all shouting out stops on that line.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48Piccadilly, Old Trafford, Victoria, Bury, Altrincham, Sale, Prestwich,
0:41:48 > 0:41:52Piccadilly Gardens. And the following all scored one point.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56Eccles, Northern Moor, Manchester Airport, Droylsden, Radcliffe,
0:41:56 > 0:42:00Salford Quays, Cornbrook, Besses o' the Barn, Stretford and Heaton Park.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Unlucky if you said one of those. If you said something else,
0:42:03 > 0:42:05you've just got a pointless answer, so very well played.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Let's take a look now at the second one,
0:42:08 > 0:42:10the Tour de Yorkshire cyclists.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14Now, Adam Yates, who had an unbelievable Tour de France in 2016,
0:42:14 > 0:42:16future Tour winner, he was a pointless answer, there.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Frazer Clacherty, Luke Rowe, Stephen Cummings.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Everyone apart from Bradley Wiggins and Peter Kennaugh was a pointless
0:42:21 > 0:42:23answer there, so well done if you said any of those.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27And the cast of Our Friends In The North, some fine actors here.
0:42:27 > 0:42:28Alun Armstrong, a pointless answer.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30David Bradley, Julian Fellowes, Larry Lamb.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34Everyone on that was a pointless answer, apart from the four main cast members, who were Daniel Craig,
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Christopher Eccleston, who went on to be Doctor Who,
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Gina McKee, and Mark Strong. What a cast that was.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Everyone else a pointless answer, very well done if you got one at home.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47Thank you very much, Richard. Thank you, Simon and Rachel, it's been great having you here today.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49I'm sorry you didn't win our jackpot today.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51That will roll over onto the next show,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54when we will be playing for £3,750.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01- Join us then, see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
