0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28This is the show where all the questions
0:00:28 > 0:00:30have been asked of 100 people before the show,
0:00:30 > 0:00:31and all our contestants have to do
0:00:31 > 0:00:33is come up with the answers no-one else could think of.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Let's meet today's players.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40And couple number one...
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Hi, my name's Steve, I'm from Portsmouth,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44and this is my friend Josh from Horsham.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Couple number two?
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Steve, this is my friend Kayvon, and we're both from Poole.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Couple number three?
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Stuart, this is my wife, Sally, and we're from Birmingham.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55And finally, couple number four?
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Natasha, I'm from Surrey,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59this is my work colleague Chloe, and she's from Birmingham.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00And these are today's contestants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02APPLAUSE
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Thanks very much, all of you, a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show as it goes along,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10so that just leaves me one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13The fly in the ointment, the wrinkle in the plan,
0:01:13 > 0:01:14the toenail in the paella... LAUGHTER
0:01:14 > 0:01:17..it's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- Hiya. Hello, everybody. - APPLAUSE
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Afternoon.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Good afternoon to you, sir. - Good afternoon to you.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25What a lovely show last time, wasn't it?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- Oh, wasn't that lovely? - Yeah, some lovely questions,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30and we welcome back two pairs from that show. Steve...
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Well, Steve S, he is now. Remember when he was just Steve?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- I know, he's got letters after his name!- Back in the old days.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37..and Kayvon. Chloe and Natasha, welcome back.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Got all the way through to the head-to-head.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Now, do you remember, Steve gave us an incorrect answer when we had
0:01:42 > 0:01:43pictures of people from the '80s?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- Oh, yes.- And he gave Jeremy Beadle.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47And I thought he gave Jeremy Beadle for Stephen Spielberg,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49who looks a bit like Jeremy Beadle.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- Yeah.- But he didn't, do you know who he gave Jeremy Beadle for?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Tom Jones?- Tom Jones.- No! - Yeah, yeah.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Which he stupidly admitted to me just now before the show!
0:02:00 > 0:02:01LAUGHTER
0:02:01 > 0:02:03And I promised I wouldn't say anything.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07But welcome back, both pairs, very strong pairs.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Welcome to our new pairs, as well.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Lots of lovely questions, you know,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- what else could you ask for, right? - Perfect.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Ooh, and more excitingly still,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Simon and Rachel didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19which means we add another £1,000 to it,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22so today's jackpot starts off at £3,750.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35So, remember this, the pair with the highest score
0:02:35 > 0:02:37at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38That's all you have to remember.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41No conferring till we get to the head-to-head round.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category of today is...
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51who's going to go second? And whoever's going first,
0:02:51 > 0:02:52please step up to the podium.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:02 > 0:03:03- Richard?- Yeah, we're going to show
0:03:03 > 0:03:06you the name of seven episode titles of sitcoms
0:03:06 > 0:03:08alongside the initials of that sitcom. On each board,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10you have to tell us what the sitcom is, please.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13There will be 14 in all to have a go at, at home, so very best of luck.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Thanks very much indeed. So, let's reveal our episode titles.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Here's our first board of seven. And we've got...
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I'm going to read those all again.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Josh, welcome to Pointless.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Good to have you here.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- What do you do, Josh? - I work for an insurance broker.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12And what are your interests, Josh?
0:04:12 > 0:04:16I do a bit of caving, and I'm an Explorer leader.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- An Explorer leader? - Yes, an Explorer Scout.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22I see. How many people are in your teams when you lead them?
0:04:22 > 0:04:27So, there's between six and ten kids of between 14 and 18,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29depending on how many can make it that week.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Wow. And just back to the caving, Josh, where do you do your caving?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Mostly down in Somerset.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37There's not many caves around West Sussex.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Have you ever explored caves that no-one's ever been in before?
0:04:40 > 0:04:41I have not, yet.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Have you ever been in a cave where the tunnel has gone underwater
0:04:44 > 0:04:46and you come up the other side and you're still in a tunnel?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Yes, there's a bit that we take our Scouts to, to do that bit,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51and it's always kind of a challenge...
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Do you put a rope under first, maybe, so that they can go...?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Yeah, there's a rope under there, yes.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56But have you ever been under with no rope?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58No, I haven't.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00That would just be terrifying!
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Now, Josh, what about our board, here,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05of sitcom episode titles, I should say?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07TV, not a strong point for me,
0:05:07 > 0:05:11but I think The Guru Of Surbiton is The Good Life.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13The Good Life, says Josh.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Let's see how many of our 100 people agree with Josh.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19It's right.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Not bad, 30.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25APPLAUSE
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Good start to the round, Josh, well done.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- 30 for The Good Life.- Er, yeah,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33it's called Good Neighbors, in America.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34In virtually all of these,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36they've had a go at doing these in the States.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39OK, now, Kayvon.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Good to have you back. Remind us what you do, Kayvon?
0:05:43 > 0:05:47- I'm a civil servant.- You're a civil servant, based in Bournemouth?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Yes.- Very good indeed.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50And your interests, Kayvon?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Er, I'm a trampoline gymnast.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55SCATTERED LAUGHTER
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Well, talk us through the disciplines of trampolining.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00What different things do you have to do when you compete?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Er, you compete to routines,
0:06:02 > 0:06:05one of them's meant to be the sort of easy routine,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- which has easy elements... - Is it set to music?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10No, no. No music, unfortunately.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- OK.- And then, you've got one sort of, as you'd call it,
0:06:13 > 0:06:14a difficult routine,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16and your scores are totalled up.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19What is the most impressive thing you can do on a trampoline?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Um...- What's the thing that gets a little buzz of applause?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Probably a triple front with a half twist.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Tripe front with a half twist?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Yeah.- Mm, sounds delicious! - Very important bit.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31LAUGHTER
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Um, wow, that's extraordinary.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35I mean, how much time do you spend on bouncy canvas?
0:06:36 > 0:06:40That's what we call it in, um... LAUGHTER
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Until recently, it was most of the day, sort of thing.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- I trained in the daytime and then coached in the evening.- Yeah.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- But more recently... - And where do you train?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- I mean, do you have to go to...? - On a trampoline, I'm guessing!
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- LAUGHTER - That would be where I would do it.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Good point! Does it feel slightly oddly solid,
0:06:54 > 0:06:56when you're not on a trampoline?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Yeah, I don't really know what I'm doing here.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Nor do I, to be honest! Um, what would you like to go for, Kayvon?
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Um...
0:07:06 > 0:07:07It's between two.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I think I'm going to go with...
0:07:09 > 0:07:13..In Luton Airport, No-one Can Hear You Scream,
0:07:13 > 0:07:15with One Foot In The Grave.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16One Foot In The Grave, says Kayvon.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Well, 30 is the only score we have at the moment,
0:07:26 > 0:07:27and you've passed it.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Down to 19, well done, Kayvon, all going in the right direction.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31APPLAUSE
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- Yeah, very well played. - Starring Richard Wilson, of course.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Thank you, Richard. Stuart, welcome.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43You're from Birmingham? What keeps you busy in Birmingham, Stuart?
0:07:43 > 0:07:44I work in IT, in the NHS,
0:07:44 > 0:07:47for Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Trust.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Solihull!
0:07:49 > 0:07:51LAUGHTER
0:07:51 > 0:07:52- Hold on a minute...- Yeah.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Are you a Silhillian?- No.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Oh. He understood what I asked!
0:07:57 > 0:07:58LAUGHTER
0:07:58 > 0:08:01If we said Silhillian, would you know what we meant?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- Yeah.- You see, that's so exciting.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- This is from the last show. - We learned that from the last show,
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- that people from Solihull are Silhillians.- Yeah. It's...
0:08:08 > 0:08:09So, you've missed a whole lot.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11If you haven't, you must watch the box sets, because...
0:08:11 > 0:08:12LAUGHTER
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- There's all sorts of developing storylines you're missing.- Yeah.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I reckon it's time we had episode titles for Pointless.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- That's a good idea, isn't it? - The One Where...- Yeah.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25The One Where They Stumble Through Amateurishly.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26LAUGHTER
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Yeah...- The Next One Where They Stumble Through Amateurishly.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Now then, Stuart, what would you like to go for on our board?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Are you a television watcher?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37I know most of the ones on this board, except for one.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41But I'm going to go with, um, Menopause,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Absolutely Fabulous. - Absolutely Fabulous, says Stuart.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Let's see how many of our 100 people agree with Stuart.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49It's right.
0:08:49 > 0:08:5330 is our high, 19 is our low.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54You've passed 30.
0:08:54 > 0:08:5629, only just past it.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00But not bad, 29 for Ab Fab.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Yeah, Idris Elba had his first-ever speaking role
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- in an episode of Absolutely Fabulous. - Isn't that great?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Yeah. I'd like to go and seek that out.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Yeah! Very good.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Thank you, Richard. Natasha, welcome back.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Great to have you - back on the same podium!
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- I know!- Tremendous deja vu, I'm getting here.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Remind us what you do, Natasha.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I'm business support for a recruitment company.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24That's right, and what do you like doing in your spare time?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Going to live gigs and buying shoes.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Oh. What was the last live gig you went to?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32It was actually our work colleague's band.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- Which is called? - It's called Stickman Cartel.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Do they do covers, or are they...?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38No, they write their own material,
0:09:38 > 0:09:40but they have done one or two covers.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Are they good?- They are very good.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Yeah. There you are. I wouldn't go to a work colleague's band
0:09:46 > 0:09:49if it wasn't good, I don't think.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Absolutely.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Which is why I failed to see any of your concerts last year, for your...
0:09:53 > 0:09:55LAUGHTER
0:09:59 > 0:10:01APPLAUSE
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Ah...
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Ha! I left that one open, didn't I?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Now, Natasha, this board's all yours,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12if you want to talk us through it and fill in all the blanks.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14OK. Well, I know two of the ones that are left.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17They're going be high scores, but I think The Miracle Of Peckham is,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19obviously, Only Fools and Horses.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21The One After Ross Says Rachel is going to be Friends.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25I'd maybe take a guess at The Passion of Saint Tibulus
0:10:25 > 0:10:27maybe being Fawlty Towers.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30But I think I'm going to...
0:10:31 > 0:10:34..play it safe
0:10:34 > 0:10:37and go for The One After Ross Says Rachel is Friends.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40OK. Well, let's see how safe that is, Natasha.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Friends, let's see how many people said it.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47It's right.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48Oh, no... It's not bad. 77.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51APPLAUSE
0:10:51 > 0:10:5377 for Friends.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56James Burrows, the famous American sitcom producer and director,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58directed several episodes of that.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00He took the whole cast to Vegas before the series began,
0:11:00 > 0:11:02cos he had a gut feeling about it, and he just said,
0:11:02 > 0:11:06"This is the last time you'll have any anonymity in your life."
0:11:06 > 0:11:07He said, "So enjoy yourselves."
0:11:07 > 0:11:10He was right, wasn't he? Very impressive.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Wow.- Now, The Miracle Of Peckham, of course, is Only Fools and Horses.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Surprisingly low score, actually.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18We'll go down to The Passion of Saint Tibulus.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20It's not Fawlty Towers.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21- Father Ted.- Father Ted, yeah.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25The best answer on the board is an unbelievably low score.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- Peep Show.- Peep Show, yeah.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- So very well done if you said that. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Well, we're halfway through the round. Let's take a quick look
0:11:34 > 0:11:36at those scores. 19 is the best score of that pass,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39so very well done, Kayvon. Up to 29, where we find Stuart and Sally.
0:11:39 > 0:11:4230 is where we find Josh and Steve H.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45And then Natasha and Chloe, 77.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47You're a long way ahead. Chloe...
0:11:47 > 0:11:48How did you find that board, Chloe?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- It was OK.- Do you think you'll be able to find
0:11:51 > 0:11:52a nice low-scoring answer on the next board,
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- I mean, just in this category? - I don't... I hope so.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Well, so do I.- I don't know.- We need one.- Yes.- Best of luck with that.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:12:03 > 0:12:07OK, let's put seven more episode titles from sitcoms up on the board,
0:12:07 > 0:12:08and here they are.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29I'll read those again.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Chloe, is that board any better?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50The first one was better.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Oh, right, OK.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Yeah.- Now, Chloe, remind us what you do.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57I also work in recruitment, with Natasha.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- We work together.- And your interests, when not working?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I like to keep fit,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05so I've done a couple of half marathons.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Only half marathons? I mean,
0:13:06 > 0:13:09that makes them sound sort of faintly doable.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- It's still a long way. - It is a long way, yeah.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- 13 miles.- Yeah, yeah.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14- They're quite hard.- Yeah.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- Have you done one this year? - No, I'm doing one in October.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- OK, right, so getting ready for that.- I need to start training.- Yes.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I'd say you probably do. Do you follow the app?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- You get an app, don't you?- No, I don't know, I just kind of run,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27and just see what happens.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Fine. And last time, that was fine?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- Yeah, yeah.- Fine, good.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Good. Now, Chloe, you're on 77, you're our high-scorers.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- We need a low score from you.- Um...
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Yeah, the only one that I know...
0:13:42 > 0:13:44..is...
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Yeah, Basil The Rat,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48which is Fawlty Towers.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Fawlty Towers, says Chloe.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Let's see how many of our 100 people said Fawlty Towers.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57It's right.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Well, that's not bad.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04133 is your total.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Yeah, the anagrams they used to have on the Fawlty Towers sign
0:14:07 > 0:14:10at the start of each show were all made up by a production assistant
0:14:10 > 0:14:13on the show called Iain McLean, who was a crossword addict.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Now then, Sally.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18How lovely to have you here, Sally,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21and that's the most exciting hair we've had this series.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- Thanks very much!- Very good.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Sally, what do you do?
0:14:25 > 0:14:26I'm a primary school teacher.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Lovely. How long have you done that for?
0:14:28 > 0:14:3012 years now.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Goodness me. You just teach everything, I suppose, don't you?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35You have to do a bit of everything, be a jack of all trades.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Perfect grounding for Pointless, I always like to think.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40And when the holidays come, what do you love to do?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Sleep.- Oh.- Sleep!
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Oh, that's nice. What time are you normally up on a working day?
0:14:46 > 0:14:51On a working day, it's about six o'clock, but on a holiday, 11.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Perfect. Sally, great news, you're through to Round Two.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- It doesn't matter what you score here.- OK.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- What would you like to go for? - I think I know all of them,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I just want to choose the most obscure,
0:15:02 > 0:15:05so I'm going to go for Open Government,
0:15:05 > 0:15:06and Yes Minister.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Yes Minister, says Sally. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11No red line, cos you're already through.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18It is Yes Minister, and I have a feeling this will be...
0:15:19 > 0:15:21APPLAUSE
0:15:21 > 0:15:2373 is your total, not bad.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Well played, Sally. It's the title of the first-ever episode of that,
0:15:26 > 0:15:28as well. Theresa May chose an extract from Yes Minister
0:15:28 > 0:15:31when she went on Desert Island Discs.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32Thank you very much, Richard.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Now, Steve.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Steve S, to give you your full name these days.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Also through to the next round, by the way.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Steve S, we discovered last time you're a civil servant,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44and an ex-trampoline...?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Ex-gymnast.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- An ex-trampoline gymnast, shall we say.- That's right.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Well, why did you give it up? - I was just getting too tired.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52I think my body was failing me!
0:15:54 > 0:15:56And how many hours a day were you on the...
0:15:56 > 0:15:59..on the bouncy canvas?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01So not as many as Kayvon, but I probably was doing about 12,
0:16:01 > 0:16:0315 hours a week at my peak.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Right. Well, maybe you should have done more hours.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07There's your answer. Not as many as Kayvon!
0:16:07 > 0:16:09What else do you like getting up to, Steve?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Now that I've retired from trampolining, I'm now a judge.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15So some of the competitions that Kayvon and others are competing at.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17I was suddenly picturing you as a High Court judge!
0:16:17 > 0:16:19No, I see. LAUGHTER
0:16:19 > 0:16:20Or just... Maybe just a circuit judge.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Yeah, that's where they pick
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- a lot of their people from, don't they?- Yeah!
0:16:24 > 0:16:27It is, isn't it? But you go round, judging things?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29And you hold up scores?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- I hold up the scores, that's right. - It's like Strictly, bouncy Strictly!
0:16:32 > 0:16:33LAUGHTER Brilliant.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Now, Steve, as I say, you're already through to the next round.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38What would you like to go for?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Well, unfortunately, I don't know a lot...well, if any on the board.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44The only one I did know was the Fawlty Towers
0:16:44 > 0:16:46and the Yes Minister one.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49So I'm going to have to take a guess at Bambi.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51I'm not sure if it is a series,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53but The Young Ones?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55The Young Ones, says Steve.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57OK, well, no red line, you're already through,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59but let's see how far down the column we get with The Young Ones.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03It's right.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Very good indeed, strong performance on that second podium there.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Yeah, that's the classic University Challenge episode,
0:17:18 > 0:17:21with Footlights College against Scumbag College,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23and Griff Rhys Jones playing Bamber Gascoigne.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- Which he does very well. - It's a slight knife to the heart,
0:17:25 > 0:17:27hearing someone who's 27 say,
0:17:27 > 0:17:29"I don't know if that was a series, The Young Ones?"
0:17:29 > 0:17:32You think, "Oh... That's only my entire childhood, that's all!"
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Steve, welcome.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- Hello.- Great to have you here.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- What do you do, Steve? - I'm a corporate insurance broker.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43I see. And what thrills you when not broking?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- Or maybe that thrills you?- It does.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49That's nice! What else thrills you?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Well, I like to play hockey,
0:17:51 > 0:17:54and support Portsmouth Football Club,
0:17:54 > 0:17:55- follow them around.- Very good...
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Follow them, follow them around!
0:17:57 > 0:18:00They're going, "Go away!" LAUGHTER
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Steve, there you are on 30, it doesn't matter what you score,
0:18:03 > 0:18:05you'll be through to the next round, even if you score 100,
0:18:05 > 0:18:08but I'm sure you won't. Do you feel like talking us through this board
0:18:08 > 0:18:09and filling in all those blanks?
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Yeah, I think I can name three of them.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16The third one down, is... I can't think of anything for that one.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20But I think I'm going to go for Appraisals being The Office.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22The Office, says Steve. No red line, you're already through,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25but let's see how many of our 100 people said The Office.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31It's right.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35Look at that, 19!
0:18:35 > 0:18:36APPLAUSE
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Joint lowest score of the whole round,
0:18:38 > 0:18:40so very well done indeed there, Steve H.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42That takes your total up to 49.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45That's great work, Steve. Yeah, Steve Carell, who is the boss
0:18:45 > 0:18:47in the American version of The Office, which is brilliant,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49said he only watched five minutes of the British Office,
0:18:49 > 0:18:51cos he felt, if he watched any more,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54he'd end up doing an impression of Ricky Gervais. He didn't want to,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57he wanted to bring his own skills to the job, which he does, brilliantly.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Now, I bet you can name all of these.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Who's That Dancing with Nora Batty, then?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- Last of the Summer Wine. - Yeah, a lot of clues there.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Is That Your Horse Outside?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- Steptoe And Son. - Steptoe And Son, yeah.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13And the best answer on the board, Will Is Home Alone.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- The...- I can't...
0:19:15 > 0:19:16I know, it took me a while.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- But you'll know it, very well. It's The Inbetweeners.- Oh, of course.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23TI, it's very confusing.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25TO and TI are both weirdly difficult initials.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Aren't they? Well, thank you very much,
0:19:27 > 0:19:28we are at the end of our first round.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31And I'm so sorry, I can't bear it, Chloe and Natasha,
0:19:31 > 0:19:32we have to say goodbye to you.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Oh... Low-scorers,
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- head-to-headers last time.- I know.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38It's been lovely having you here, I'm sorry,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41it's far too soon to be sending you home, but Chloe and Natasha, wonderful.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54And so suddenly we're down to three pairs,
0:19:54 > 0:19:55and at the end of this round,
0:19:55 > 0:19:57obviously, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:19:57 > 0:20:02Well, Kayvon, lowest individual score with Steve H.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Joint low-scorers there, with 19,
0:20:04 > 0:20:08and Steve S and Kayvon are lowest combined scores there,
0:20:08 > 0:20:09so very well done.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Best of luck to all three pairs for our next round.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Our category for Round Two today is Words.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:20:18 > 0:20:19who's going to go second?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:20:35 > 0:20:39..as they could. B---E. Richard.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Yeah, looking for any five-letter word in the English language,
0:20:42 > 0:20:45in the English world language section of oxforddictionaries.com,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48please, that fits the pattern B---E.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50As always, no hyphenated words and no proper nouns.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55Best of luck. Have a little think about what you're going to say...
0:20:55 > 0:20:56Mm-hm.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Steve, always tough going first.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Yeah, I've got one.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- You've got one?- I have got one. - You've got one?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06I'm going to go with brine.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08I know him!
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Let's see, brine. How many of our 100 people said brine?
0:21:22 > 0:21:2423 for brine, not bad.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27APPLAUSE
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Yeah, water with lots of salt in it.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Steve S.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34What would you like to go for?
0:21:34 > 0:21:38OK, I think I'm going to go with the word baste.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42OK. Baste, says Steve.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Let's see how many of our 100 people said baste.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50It's right. 23 is the only score we have at the moment.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Baste passes that, down to 13, very well done indeed.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58APPLAUSE
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Yeah, to pour fat or juices over meat during cooking.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07The turkey I had at Christmas was BASTE on a true story.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Thank you, Richard. Sally.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15I'm going to go for brute.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Brute, says Sally.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Let's see how many of our 100 people liked brute.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24It's right.
0:22:34 > 0:22:363 for brute. Well played, Sally. APPLAUSE
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Well played again, Sally.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Yes, savagely violent man or animal, a brute.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Thank you very much, Richard.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46So we are halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:22:46 > 0:22:493 the best score of that pass - well done, Sally. Sally and Stuart,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51I think you might be in the head-to-head on that basis.
0:22:51 > 0:22:5413 is where we find Steve and Kayvon.
0:22:54 > 0:22:5623 is where we find Steve and Josh.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57So, Josh,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59a lovely low score from you is what we need.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now -
0:23:02 > 0:23:04can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09So, then, Stuart.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12It's five-letter words beginning with B, ending with E.
0:23:12 > 0:23:1719 or less at this stage guarantees you a place in the head-to-head.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Lovely score from Sally, there, with brute.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24OK. I'm going to go with bathe.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27You're going to go with bathe.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Let's see, here is your red line.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30If you can get below that red line,
0:23:30 > 0:23:32you're straight through to the head-to-head.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33How many people said bathe?
0:23:35 > 0:23:36It's right.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Look at that, through you go! 8!
0:23:42 > 0:23:44APPLAUSE
0:23:46 > 0:23:47Very well done indeed. 11.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Well played. Don't bathe in brine.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52That's my motto.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Best place to bathe!
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- What, in brine? - Bit of saltwater, yeah.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00- No.- I'm interested, by the way, that baste,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03which I thought was a very good, lovely answer,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05our 100 were all over that.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- Yeah.- Baste and brine...
0:24:07 > 0:24:08- Loved it.- Brute?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- They weren't finding it. - What does that tell us?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15That tells us they like cooking, and swimming...
0:24:16 > 0:24:20..which is nice. I think it's a very fair reflection on them.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22That is what it is.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- OK, thank you.- Have you got an answer, by the way?
0:24:26 > 0:24:27- Oh, have I?!- Have you?- Yes, I have.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Good, because I've written one down. - Oh, good, good, good.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Now, Kayvon.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Kayvon, the high-scorers
0:24:35 > 0:24:36are still Josh and Steve H on 23,
0:24:36 > 0:24:41so 9 or less is what you should be aiming for.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Um...I think I'm going to go with blade.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47Blade, says Kayvon.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Here is your red line. If you can get below that red line with blade,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54you are through to the head-to-head. How many people said blade?
0:24:56 > 0:24:57It's right.
0:25:02 > 0:25:0420 for blade. APPLAUSE
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Takes your total up to 33.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- It's exciting.- See, they're obviously thinking
0:25:10 > 0:25:13blade as in cooking, not blade as in brute.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15- That's why it scored so many. - I see. OK.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Thank you very much, Richard.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Now, Josh.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22You have to score 9 or less,
0:25:22 > 0:25:23or we say goodbye.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Blame.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28OK, blame, says Josh.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29Here is your red line.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Let's see how far down the column we get with blame.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Will it keep you in the game?
0:25:42 > 0:25:4425 for blame. APPLAUSE
0:25:44 > 0:25:4648 is your total.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52That's a very awkward word to get knocked out on, I'm afraid!
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Blame. Um...
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- Now, what's your word? - Mine is breve.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- Breve?- Musical. Breve, B-R-E-V-E.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Oh, I should have thought you'd say breve!
0:26:03 > 0:26:05I might have known you'd say...
0:26:05 > 0:26:07- I didn't know you'd say breve. 4 points for breve.- Ah.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10A very nice answer. I thought you were going to say...
0:26:12 > 0:26:14I bet that was lower-scoring than breve.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16It was a pointless answer, yeah.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- Oh! Thank you.- That's OK.- Yeah.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21It's not the first time I've overestimated you!
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- No.- Is it? Breve is a lovely answer, though.- Yeah, you know.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25No, I think it's a nice answer.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Now, shall we take a look at some pointless answers?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I think you'll enjoy that.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Barre, as in you would have in ballet dancing.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- To belie.- Mm. - Belie is a pointless answer.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Bikie, that's a sort of Australia and New Zealand thing
0:26:39 > 0:26:40for motorcyclists.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Biome, which is a lot of flora and fauna.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Bocce, which is an Italian game.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Bodge - to bodge.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Boite, that's a small restaurant or nightclub.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Bowie. It'd be nice, wouldn't it, if you got that?
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Brume, as well,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00which is if you don't know how to spell broom properly.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Very well done if you got any of those.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04Let's take a look at the top three,
0:27:04 > 0:27:06the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So at the end of our second round,
0:27:18 > 0:27:21the pair we have to say goodbye to, with their high score of 48...
0:27:21 > 0:27:23I'm afraid, Josh and Steve H, it is you -
0:27:23 > 0:27:25but you'll be back next time,
0:27:25 > 0:27:27so you'll have another chance to have a run at the Pointless final.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Good luck with that, I'm sure you'll go much further then.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33In the meantime, thanks very much, Josh and Steve.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34APPLAUSE
0:27:36 > 0:27:39For the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Congratulations, Steve and Kayvon, Sally and Stuart.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49You are now one step closer to the final,
0:27:49 > 0:27:50and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:27:50 > 0:27:54which currently stands at £3,750.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59But the great news is we have arrived at the head-to-head,
0:27:59 > 0:28:01and that means you can play as a team -
0:28:01 > 0:28:03you can chat before you give your answers -
0:28:03 > 0:28:04and the first pair to win two questions
0:28:04 > 0:28:06will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08So we have our Brummies versus our Jumpers.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12This is perfect. Neither of you have been here before,
0:28:12 > 0:28:13but we've had some good answers.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Lovely low score from you, Sally, in that last round.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18So I think this ought to be close.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Here is your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:33 > 0:28:35- Richard.- Yeah, we're going to show you five pairs
0:28:35 > 0:28:38of professional snooker players now, who share a surname.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39We just need that surname, please.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- Best of luck.- OK, let's reveal our five pairs of snooker players,
0:28:42 > 0:28:43and here they come.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18There you go. Five sets of snooker players who all share a name.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22Now, Steve and Kayvon, you're our low-scorers, so you will go first.
0:29:22 > 0:29:23Can you think of any?
0:29:23 > 0:29:25No.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30My guess would be A, and it would be White.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Is that all we need to say, the surname?
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- Yeah.- It's as good a guess as I've got.- OK.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39We're going to go for A, White.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42A, White.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45A, White, say Steve and Kayvon.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Now, Sally and Stuart.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Do you want to talk us through the board?
0:29:50 > 0:29:53No, snooker's not our strong point!
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Um...
0:29:55 > 0:29:59I was going to say A, as well, but Taylor.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01OK, so you'd like to say Taylor.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03We have White and we have Taylor.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04Now only one of you can be right.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Let's find out which one it's going to be.
0:30:06 > 0:30:07Steve and Kayvon said White for A.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Let's see if it's right,
0:30:09 > 0:30:11let's see how many of our 100 people said White.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- Surprised?- Doesn't necessarily mean Sally and Stuart are right,
0:30:18 > 0:30:20but let's find out.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Taylor, say Sally and Stuart.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Ah, and they are right. Look at that.
0:30:30 > 0:30:3136. APPLAUSE
0:30:33 > 0:30:34Well done, Sally and Stuart.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37That means, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Yeah, that's Dennis Taylor, of course, the world champion,
0:30:39 > 0:30:41and David Taylor, the Silver Fox.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43B is the biggest scorer by some way.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45- Higgins.- Yes, Alex and John Higgins.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Would have scored you 62.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49- C. Neil Robertson...- Exactly.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53..and that's Jimmy Robertson next to him, so Robertson.
0:30:53 > 0:30:54Would have scored you 8.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57I've bagged myself a pointless answer with this other one,
0:30:57 > 0:31:01and that is way back from the glory days of kind of early '80s snooker -
0:31:01 > 0:31:03the Welshman Cliff Wilson
0:31:03 > 0:31:06and one of the future stars of snooker, Kyren Wilson.
0:31:06 > 0:31:07So, Wilson - well done if you said that,
0:31:07 > 0:31:09I know snooker fans will have done.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- Pointless answer.- Look at Cliff Wilson, what a dude.- Yeah.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14- That's when snooker was snooker. - Look at that.
0:31:14 > 0:31:19And E is Kirk and Matthew Stevens -
0:31:19 > 0:31:21and that would've scored you 11 points.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25So here comes the second question -
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Steve and Kayvon, you have to win this one to stay in the game,
0:31:28 > 0:31:30but Sally and Stuart will be answering it first,
0:31:30 > 0:31:31so good luck with that.
0:31:31 > 0:31:36Our second question today is all about the Eiffel Tower. Richard.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39We're going to show you five clues now to facts about the Eiffel Tower.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:31:41 > 0:31:44OK, let's reveal our five Eiffel facts, and here they come.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45We have got...
0:32:07 > 0:32:09I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29- Sally and Stuart will go first.- OK.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33We only know two, so we're going to go for the last one,
0:32:33 > 0:32:36about the...the prison that was stormed,
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- and we think that's the Bastille. - Bastille, say Sally and Stuart.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Now, then, Steve and Kayvon.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Do you fancy talking us through that board?
0:32:45 > 0:32:46Not really. Um...
0:32:47 > 0:32:49We know that the city is Paris,
0:32:49 > 0:32:54we thought that the prison would be the Bastille,
0:32:54 > 0:32:56but what did you want to...?
0:32:56 > 0:32:57You can talk out loud -
0:32:57 > 0:32:59you can do all your reasoning out loud, if you like.
0:32:59 > 0:33:00We were thinking of...
0:33:00 > 0:33:02We were thinking of guessing the first name of the engineer.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05THEY WHISPER
0:33:05 > 0:33:07We're going to go with Paris as the city.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10OK.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15OK. So, we have Bastille and we have...
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Sorry, I've forgotten what it's called, remind me.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Paris. Sally and Stuart have gone for Bastille.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Let's see how many of our 100 people said Bastille.
0:33:32 > 0:33:3349 for Bastille. APPLAUSE
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Steve and Kayvon taking a bit of a punt here,
0:33:40 > 0:33:42saying the city of Paris.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:33:49 > 0:33:50Well, yes.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52That was better than I thought it was going to be!
0:33:52 > 0:33:54APPLAUSE 88 is what Paris scores -
0:33:54 > 0:33:56and it means, after only two questions,
0:33:56 > 0:34:00Sally and Stuart are straight through to the final.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Were you going to have a guess at the first name of the...?
0:34:03 > 0:34:05We were. You were going to say?
0:34:05 > 0:34:06I was going to say Pierre.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08I'm not sure if the timelines are right,
0:34:08 > 0:34:10but I was going to say Isambard, as in Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14- I don't know if that's... - Paris was a good answer, it's fine!
0:34:18 > 0:34:19Ah, Lordy Lord.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23They both work in the same place, they both trampoline...
0:34:23 > 0:34:25..their knowledge of the Eiffel Tower,
0:34:25 > 0:34:28I'm going to put it in the woeful category,
0:34:28 > 0:34:31that's where I'm going to put it. The, er - do know the top one?
0:34:31 > 0:34:33I'm going to - is it Les Invalides, is it?
0:34:33 > 0:34:34It's not, it's not, it's a place...
0:34:34 > 0:34:36We've all been there, that's the thing.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38you know when you have to get off at a certain Tube station
0:34:38 > 0:34:41and all that kind of stuff, and then it just drifts out of my head.
0:34:41 > 0:34:42It's the Champ de Mars.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43Would have scored you 5 points.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47Now, if you had to guess the decade, it's a tricky one,
0:34:47 > 0:34:49those decades ones are always slightly difficult.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50Now what would you say for the decade?
0:34:50 > 0:34:54Well it's... It's got to be 19th century.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Um, 1890s.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Ooh! 1880s.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Yeah. Very well played. Would have scored you 11 points.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05And the first name, not Pierre, not Isambard.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07It's not even a French name.
0:35:07 > 0:35:08No, I... He's Gustave.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Gustave is exactly the name, yes -
0:35:10 > 0:35:12and Gustave would've scored 8 points.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14So the best answer on the board is Champ de Mars.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17- Well done if you said that. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round...
0:35:20 > 0:35:21Steve and Kayvon, I'm so sorry.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24The wheels came off slightly in that round,
0:35:24 > 0:35:25but it's been great having you on.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Two great shows you've been in,
0:35:27 > 0:35:29and I'm sorry we have to say goodbye now,
0:35:29 > 0:35:31but thank you so much for playing. Steve and Kayvon, fantastic.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35APPLAUSE
0:35:35 > 0:35:38But for Sally and Stuart, it is now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Congratulations Sally and Stuart,
0:35:44 > 0:35:45you've fought off all the competition
0:35:45 > 0:35:47and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56- Yes!- You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £3,750.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05Well, this is nice.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Sally, this is good, because it means you can, you know,
0:36:08 > 0:36:11you can get a train back up north, get a nice early night
0:36:11 > 0:36:13and lie in tomorrow. Oh! Fantastic.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15How nice, your class will all be watching.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16- Yes.- Well they will be now.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- They will be.- You can tell them. - Yep.- They're going to be so proud.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21You're not going to be allowed to show them your trophy, presumably,
0:36:21 > 0:36:23- until after this has gone out. - Of course.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25- Have to keep it under lock and key. - I will.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Well, Stuart, you've got to win this jackpot, by the way.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30It can't just sit there getting bigger.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33What would you like to see come up, what's going to help you win it?
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Er, I would like films, actors,
0:36:36 > 0:36:40music of certain eras, classic rock music maybe.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42- Sally, anything you want to add to that?- Same -
0:36:42 > 0:36:45just movies, films, TV shows.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- No sport.- No sport.- Right, well, very, very best of luck.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Let's see what today's selection looks like. We've got...
0:37:02 > 0:37:04OK for Alternative Bands?
0:37:05 > 0:37:06And then it's your fault.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- I... - LAUGHTER
0:37:08 > 0:37:11- Yes, I think we'll have to go for Alternative Bands.- Yeah.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12Alternative Bands it is.
0:37:12 > 0:37:13OK, very, very best of luck.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16We are looking for any UK top 40 hit studio album
0:37:16 > 0:37:21by any of the following bands, please, up to February 2016.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22So...
0:37:28 > 0:37:30So no greatest hits, live albums, anything like that.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Just studio albums released by any of those three bands
0:37:32 > 0:37:35that were UK top 40 hits according to the officialcharts.com.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37- Very best of luck. - Thank you very much.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:37:39 > 0:37:40to come up with three answers,
0:37:40 > 0:37:42and all you need to win that jackpot
0:37:42 > 0:37:45is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:45 > 0:37:46- Yes.- Yes.- OK.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- I think we've picked the wrong subject.- Yes. OK...
0:37:53 > 0:37:54I don't know...
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Shall we pick a song where an album might be named after a song?
0:37:57 > 0:37:59I was thinking of a band name,
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- could be an album name for some of them, maybe.- Yeah.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- So we could say The Cure... - The Cure...
0:38:05 > 0:38:08No self-titled albums, guys.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- No self-titled, OK.- OK.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12- Boys Don't Cry? - Boys Don't Cry, yeah...
0:38:12 > 0:38:13Um...
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Any other songs by Siouxsie And The Banshees?
0:38:18 > 0:38:20The Cure? Friday I'm In Love?
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Friday I'm In Love, yes, let's go for that.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26And...anything by Siouxsie And The Banshees?
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- Any songs?- I don't know.- No? Anything by Talking Heads?
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Jen's going to kill me!
0:38:32 > 0:38:33Um...
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Anything by Talking Heads that you know?
0:38:36 > 0:38:38We'll make one up.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40- OK.- Ten seconds left.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Friday I'm In Love and...
0:38:42 > 0:38:46- You invent something.- I don't... - Make one up.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51OK, that is your minute up. I'm so sorry.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54That minute's... Sometimes those minutes aren't too long.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57I think that minute was 60 seconds too long for you, wasn't it.
0:38:57 > 0:38:58- It was.- That was tough.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00It's tough, we don't know...
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Let's have - well, it's quite funny,
0:39:02 > 0:39:05you can make up some album titles if you want to do.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07What are you going to go for?
0:39:07 > 0:39:10With The Cure, we're going to go for a couple of their songs
0:39:10 > 0:39:11and hope there was an album the same.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13So, Boys Don't Cry.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15- Boys Don't Cry.- Friday I'm In Love.
0:39:15 > 0:39:16Friday I'm In Love.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21And then for Talking Heads, we're going to say...
0:39:21 > 0:39:24This...is completely your invention.
0:39:24 > 0:39:25Smash.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Smash. OK. Now, of those three,
0:39:27 > 0:39:30which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:30 > 0:39:31Um, Boys Don't Cry?
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Boys Don't Cry goes last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:34 > 0:39:35- Smash.- Smash.- Smash.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37And then we've got Friday I'm In Love in the middle.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40OK. Well, let's put those answers up in that order,
0:39:40 > 0:39:42and here they are. We've got...
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Well, three brave answers, let's say, there -
0:39:49 > 0:39:51and two of them, at least, could be right.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53And they could end up being pointless.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55If you would win that jackpot of £3,750,
0:39:55 > 0:39:57what would you like to do with it? Sally, you first.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Ooh. We've got our wedding reception coming up.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04We eloped on Valentine's Day, so now we owe everyone a party.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08- Lovely.- So it would go towards maybe an Elvis impersonator
0:40:08 > 0:40:09or a band to come and play
0:40:09 > 0:40:13because we were married by an Elvis impersonator in Las Vegas.
0:40:13 > 0:40:14Fantastic.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Well, congratulations.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Are you absolutely certain it was an impersonator?
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Well!
0:40:20 > 0:40:22He was pretty old, he could have been,
0:40:22 > 0:40:24he could have been the real one.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26OK. So, a big party is what you need.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Stuart, anything you want to add to that?
0:40:28 > 0:40:33It's the same, or put it towards a classic Volkswagen camper van.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36OK. Well, best of luck. Three answers, as I say, on the board.
0:40:36 > 0:40:37Let's see if any of those -
0:40:37 > 0:40:39well, let's see if any of them are right, to start with.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Smash was your first answer.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43In this case, we were looking for albums by Talking Heads.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46If it is right and if it is pointless, it will win you £3,750 -
0:40:46 > 0:40:49but let's see how many people said it. Is it right?
0:40:52 > 0:40:53It's not right.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Sadly.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58So we move quickly on to your next answer, Friday I'm In Love.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00In this case we were looking for albums by The Cure.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04Again, if it's pointless, it will win you £3,750.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07How many people said Friday I'm In Love?
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Bad luck. Another incorrect answer.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16So we turn to your third and final answer, Boys Don't Cry,
0:41:16 > 0:41:17another Cure song -
0:41:17 > 0:41:19you're hoping this might be the name of an album
0:41:19 > 0:41:21that nobody else could remember.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24If it's pointless it wins you £3,750.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26How many people said Boys Don't Cry?
0:41:29 > 0:41:30Oh, bad luck.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36Bad luck. Well, that was a game effort, I have to say.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38It could have gone much better, that round,
0:41:38 > 0:41:40had it been some bands you knew.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44It's always like that in this last round, though,
0:41:44 > 0:41:46but really strong performance throughout the show.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Very good indeed.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50You get a Pointless trophy to take home, each, as well,
0:41:50 > 0:41:52and you did it all in one show -
0:41:52 > 0:41:54which is a stealth raid, you might say.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57So very, very well done. Sally and Stuart.
0:41:57 > 0:41:58APPLAUSE
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Yeah, you chose exactly the right tactic, as well,
0:42:06 > 0:42:07to go for the names of Cure songs.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Boys Don't Cry was an album, actually, but not a hit album -
0:42:10 > 0:42:12it was number 71, something like that, Boys Don't Cry -
0:42:12 > 0:42:14but exactly the right tactics.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Let's take a look, now, at the pointless answers,
0:42:17 > 0:42:19cos I know some people at home will have done well on this
0:42:19 > 0:42:22if you like any of these bands. The Cure...
0:42:25 > 0:42:27So, they were the only four pointless answers,
0:42:27 > 0:42:29so well done if you got one of those.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Talking Heads, there's only two pointless answers here...
0:42:34 > 0:42:36And Siouxsie And The Banshees.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Let's take a look.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Also could have had Peepshow, Superstition and The Rapture.
0:42:44 > 0:42:45They were all pointless.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Very, very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Thanks very much, Richard. And thanks very much, Sally and Stuart.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Sadly, they didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:52 > 0:42:55which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:42:55 > 0:42:57when we will be playing for £4,750.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Join us then, see if someone can win it.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
