0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the show where the more obscure your knowledge,
0:00:28 > 0:00:30the better your chances of winning.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37And couple number one.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Hi, my name's Flo, this is my friend Ellie,
0:00:39 > 0:00:41and we live together in Newcastle.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- Couple number two.- Hi, my name's Emma, this is my mum, Janet,
0:00:44 > 0:00:46and we're both from Newcastle.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Couple number three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Hi, my name's Jill, this is my friend Phil,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51he's from Warrington, and I'm from Widnes.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And finally, couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Neil, this is my wife, Lisa, and we're from Birmingham.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58And these are today's contestants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Thanks very much, all of you. A very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Lovely to have you here. We'll get to chat to you, of course,
0:01:05 > 0:01:07throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Milking the cow of knowledge into his bucket of obscurity,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14like a dextrous Norwegian farmer's wife...
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Sorry, I drifted off for a moment there.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Hi. Hi, everybody.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Good afternoon.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Good afternoon to you, sir. - Good afternoon.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27- Are you well?- I am well, thank you.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Excellent, we've got two returning pairs from our last show.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33They had very different shows. Lisa and Neil, knocked out in Round One,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35so fingers crossed we'll see a bit more of you today.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Flo and Ellie got all the way through to the head-to-head,
0:01:38 > 0:01:41where they played against Simon and Billy, our lovely firefighters.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43And their final category was...
0:01:43 > 0:01:48It was The Only Way Is Essex, Geordie Shore, and Made In Chelsea,
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- was it not?- What a way to win a jackpot, that,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55I mean, on a scripted reality show.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57I mean, if you're going to win a jackpot...
0:01:57 > 0:02:00If you're going to win a jackpot, that is the way to carry it away.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- Goodness me. - BOTH: £9,500.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Sadly, though, Simon and Billy didn't win our jackpot,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13So today's jackpot starts off at £10,500, there it is.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16We are into five figures, ladies and gentlemen.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Now, remember this, if you remember nothing else.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29The pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be
0:02:29 > 0:02:32eliminated, so make sure your scores are nice and low and you shall do
0:02:32 > 0:02:35well. No conferring, of course, till we get to the head-to-head round.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Best of luck to all four pairs, our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46who's going to go second?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- Richard.- Yes, seven clues on each board,
0:03:00 > 0:03:04the answer to each of them is a Nobel Prize winner in any of the various categories.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Seven on the first board, seven in the second.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- 14 in all to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11So, let's reveal our seven clues, and here they are.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50I shall read those all again.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Flo, welcome back.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- Thank you.- Good to have you with us again.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Now, just remind us what it is you do, and what stage of life you are at.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I've just graduated from Northumbria University.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Did you have a lovely time at Northumbria?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34I loved it, yeah. It was the best three years ever.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Did you know Newcastle well before that?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I did, yeah. I've had family living there,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39and I just fell in love with the city.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41- Such a lovely city. - Yeah. Great place to live.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46Beautiful. Now, the first step of your journey starts here, Flo.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Right.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51I think I know a couple, but I feel like they'll be quite high-scoring.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53I'm trying to remember the first name of the
0:04:53 > 0:04:57simultaneous alive and dead cat physicist, but I can't.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59So I'm just going to go with
0:04:59 > 0:05:02first US president to win a Nobel Peace Prize, Theodore Roosevelt.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Theodore Roosevelt, says Flo.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Let's see how many of our 100 people said Theodore Roosevelt.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11It is Theodore Roosevelt.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16APPLAUSE
0:05:16 > 0:05:1739.
0:05:18 > 0:05:2239, which is a lot less than it scored you in the last show you were
0:05:22 > 0:05:25in, when you gave...the very last answer you gave on this programme,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27in fact, when it scored you 100. 39 this time.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I do think that's a first, isn't it?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31The last answer you gave last time, and the first answer this time.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- It's quite impressive, isn't it? - Nice.- How about that?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Yeah.- I wouldn't suggest you do that on podium four, by the way,
0:05:37 > 0:05:38it's not going to work well for you.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- No!- But podium one, it's worked very nicely.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Thanks very much, Richard.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Janet, a very warm welcome to you, here from Newcastle.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Thank you.- What do you do, Janet?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49I work for an advertising research company.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53We do research into advertising in various media.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Newspapers, television, that sort of thing.- I see, very good.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58So this is... Things like, sort of...
0:05:58 > 0:06:01to encourage people to advertise in the way that suits them best.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Yes.- Very good. Janet, how do you like
0:06:04 > 0:06:07our board of Nobel Prize winners?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Not really!- No, it's not as easy as it could be.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Yes, I'm like... The physicist, it's kind of there.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19But I'm going to take a punt on the Chancellor of West Germany,
0:06:19 > 0:06:21and say Willy Brandt.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23You're going to say Willy Brandt.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Willy Brandt, says Janet.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Let's see how many of our 100 people said Willy Brandt.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32It is Willy Brandt.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34That, I think, is a superb answer, Janet.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Let's see where we end up with that.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Well, you pass 39.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38APPLAUSE
0:06:38 > 0:06:41All moving in the right direction, very well done indeed, Janet.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Lovely answer, that.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Yeah, very strong start to the show.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Well played. Yeah, he won the Nobel Peace Prize for his attempts to
0:06:47 > 0:06:51reconcile West Germany with the former Soviet Union.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Thank you very much, Richard.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54- Jill.- Hello.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Welcome to Pointless.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Good to have you here. Jill, what do you do?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I own a vegan cafe now.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04I was a drama teacher, and I decided to open a vegan cafe.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Did it just come to you out of the blue,
0:07:06 > 0:07:08perhaps during an improv session?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Well, I walked into a cafe - it's not a joke -
0:07:11 > 0:07:14and I said, "I wish this was mine."
0:07:14 > 0:07:15And within two weeks, it was.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16LAUGHTER
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Wow! What was it about it that you fell in love with?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25I think it was the cake.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28This is a vegan cake?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Yeah, you can't get it anywhere except my shop.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33So were you a vegan when you went in?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - And you remain a vegan,
0:07:35 > 0:07:37the cafe still is committed to vegan?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- A vegan till I die.- There you are. And vegan cake, mmm.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Mmm, what kind of cake was it?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Chocolate. I was going to bring you some, but it would have melted!
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Mmm. Mm-mm.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- There we are. Now, Jill.- Yeah.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Our Nobel board, let me introduce you to them.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55What would you like to go for there?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59The only one I really know on that is, I think, Nelson Mandela.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03OK, that's the one you want to go for, NM.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- I think.- Nelson Mandela it is.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Let's see how many of our 100 people said Nelson Mandela.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12It's right. Well, 39 is our...
0:08:14 > 0:08:1668 is our new high score.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18There we are.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- 68.- Yeah, his birth name in his Xhosa tribe was,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25essentially translates as "Troublemaker".
0:08:25 > 0:08:28And if only the world had more troublemakers like Nelson Mandela,
0:08:28 > 0:08:29we would be a better place, I think.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Indeed. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Neil, welcome back to Pointless.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Now, it was Round One last time, Neil.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Round One, you were barely here.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39You were barely here, then, gone.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I know, yeah. I did try, I was looking through the board,
0:08:42 > 0:08:45and I just couldn't work it out, unfortunately.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Remind us what you do, Neil.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49I work at an audiovisual company,
0:08:49 > 0:08:52fitting out gyms and leisure centres across the country.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Very good. And do you find that nearly every...
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Presumably, now, people are going to start having Bluetooth earphones.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Because that's a pain when you're on a treadmill.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02You've got your flex, little wire, that goes...as you...
0:09:02 > 0:09:04A lot of them, yeah, a lot of them.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06But with all the TVs at the front in the gyms,
0:09:06 > 0:09:10they tend to plug into the unit themselves, so they can hear the TV.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12We actually fit stuff like that, so...
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Right. OK, now, Neil.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16You're the last person to have this board.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Do you feel like talking us through the board?
0:09:19 > 0:09:20I'd love to, but I can't.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25- OK.- I only know possibly one, which is the bottom one,
0:09:25 > 0:09:27which I think is Marie Curie.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Marie Curie, says Neil.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Let's see how many of our 100 people agree with Neil.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33How many people said Marie Curie?
0:09:36 > 0:09:37It's right.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Not bad. Not our highest score.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43APPLAUSE
0:09:43 > 0:09:4456 for Marie Curie.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Well played, Neil. Let's fill in the rest of this board now, shall we?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50We'll start at the bottom, the Scottish bacteriologist.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Alexander Fleming.- Alexander Fleming would have scored you 16.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Now, I think a couple of our contestants there...
0:09:55 > 0:09:56It's Schrodinger's Cat.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Yeah. So Schrodinger, but the first name...
0:09:59 > 0:10:00I'm going to say Emmett.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Erwin.
0:10:02 > 0:10:08And this last answer, absolutely wonderful author, her short stories,
0:10:08 > 0:10:09extraordinary. Alice Munro.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13She was a pointless answer, so well done if you said that.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16We're halfway through our first round.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Janet, look at that! By some margin the best score of the pass.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Janet and Emma looking very strong at this stage.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Then we travel up to 39, Flo and Ellie, well done.
0:10:27 > 0:10:2956 is where we find Neil and Lisa.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34And Jill and Phil, Jill and Phil, Phil and Jill, are up there on 68.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Phil, we need a low score from you. - OK.- You're not way ahead, but you're ahead.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Good luck with that, we're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Can the second players, please, step up to the podium?
0:10:45 > 0:10:49OK, let's put seven more Nobel winners up on the board, and here they are.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56There we go.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Lisa.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Lisa, welcome back to the programme.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Remind us what you do.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05So, I'm not working currently, I was made redundant,
0:12:05 > 0:12:06but I'm looking for work.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- You were in insurance.- I was, yes.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Still hoping to find work in insurance.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Anyone in the Birmingham area looking for somebody skilled in the
0:12:13 > 0:12:15realm of insurance, here is Lisa.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Thanks. But, yeah, quite enjoying the break as well.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- That's quite nice.- It is quite nice. - Yes, make sure you do enjoy it, that's the trouble, isn't it?
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- I will.- What are your interests, Lisa?- So I like going to the cinema,
0:12:24 > 0:12:28I like eating out quite a lot.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31So, yeah, reading.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32So, yeah, a lot of reading as well.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Now, Lisa, you're on 56.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35You're not the high-scorers,
0:12:35 > 0:12:39but ideally you'd score 11 or less to avoid becoming the high-scorers.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Yeah. So, I know a couple.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45I preferred the first board, to be honest.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I just don't know which one's going to be the lowest.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54I'm going to go for the German physicist as Albert Einstein.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Albert Einstein, says Lisa.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Here is your red line, it's quite low,
0:12:59 > 0:13:02but let's see how far down the column we get with Albert Einstein.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05It's right.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Not bad. Two lower than Neil in the first pass.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12APPLAUSE
0:13:13 > 0:13:17He failed the entrance exam to the Swiss Polytechnic when he was 16,
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- Albert Einstein.- There you are. - But, you know,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- he seemed to do all right after that.- He did.- Yeah.- He caught up.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24He did catch up, yeah.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Anyway, thank you very much indeed. Now, Phil.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27- Phil, welcome.- Yo.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Welcome to Pointless. Yo indeed.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- What do you do, Phil?- I'm an actor.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34I work mostly in role-play, currently at the moment.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36What sort of role-play do you do?
0:13:36 > 0:13:37Medical, with doctors for exams.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Oh, I see. Not in the domestic environment.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43You go in and test doctors with symptoms.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Yes. I mean, they have to pass exams to go on
0:13:45 > 0:13:47and proceed in their career.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51So, first years, second years, we have to take on injuries,
0:13:51 > 0:13:53mental conditions.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56And how long is your little tableau with the consultant?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Usually about ten minutes,
0:13:58 > 0:14:01and we maybe have to ask certain questions within a certain period of
0:14:01 > 0:14:03time, and get feedback,
0:14:03 > 0:14:07and allow them to continue down a particular train of thought.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10That's brilliant. Now, Phil, you are on 68.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12110 is the high score behind you.
0:14:12 > 0:14:1541 or less is what we require from you.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20You know, I know one half of one of them,
0:14:20 > 0:14:23but I'm not willing to guess on the first name.
0:14:23 > 0:14:30So I'm going to go for former South African Archbishop, Desmond Tutu.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31Desmond Tutu, says Phil.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Here is your red line, and if you can get below this red line you are
0:14:34 > 0:14:37through to the next round. How many people said Desmond Tutu?
0:14:44 > 0:14:4544!
0:14:45 > 0:14:47APPLAUSE
0:14:47 > 0:14:48112 is your total.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51That is cutting it fine, isn't it?
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Yeah, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984, Desmond Tutu.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Thanks very much, Richard.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Emma.- Hello.- A warm welcome, lovely to have you here from Newcastle.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Thank you.- Emma, what do you do? - I study physics at
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- Northumbria University. - It's all Northumbria University!
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Did you know Ellie and Flo at all?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12No. I'm just in...
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I did my first year last year.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Oh, I see, so you've just started. - Yeah.- How was it? Nice first year?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Yeah, I'm enjoying it a lot.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- I loved it. - The exams weren't too hard?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24No, they weren't too hard, just one maths exam, but...
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Just one maths exam?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27It gets harder this term, presumably?
0:15:27 > 0:15:28- This year, I should say.- Yeah.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Well, good luck with that. Now, Emma, good luck also with this.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35You're just, almost out of the woods here.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39If you can score 92 or less, you are through.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40How do you like our board?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Pretty good. There's two physicists on there, so I'm safe.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50I'm going to go with the bottom one, Ernest Rutherford.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Ernest Rutherford, says Emma.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Here is your red line, lovely and high.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Get below that, you are through to the next round.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58How many people said Ernest Rutherford?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03It's right, and you're through, well done.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Look at that!
0:16:08 > 0:16:10APPLAUSE
0:16:10 > 0:16:12The lowest score of the whole round
0:16:12 > 0:16:14so far. 26 is your total. Very well done.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Yeah, one of the most famous physicists of all, but actually
0:16:17 > 0:16:19won the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1908, Ernest Rutherford.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- That's just showing off. - I know. But we have him to thank for one of our favourite elements in
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Pointless rounds, rutherfordium. - Yeah.- It's always a good answer, isn't it?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- Always good. Thank you, Richard. Now, Ellie.- Yes.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Ellie, welcome back.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- Thank you.- Remind us... We sort of know.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35We know that you and Flo have just left Northumbria.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- Yeah.- You were reading history.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- I was, yes.- And you are hoping to go travelling.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- Yes.- Where are you going to go travelling, do you know?
0:16:41 > 0:16:45We're hoping South America, but it's quite dangerous, so we're not sure.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47The world's quite dangerous...
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- That is true.- Travelling is, by definition, quite dangerous.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- Yes.- You could probably weave quite a nice course.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- Yeah.- Any particular places you're longing to go?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- Machu Picchu?- Yeah, I was going to say Peru, definitely.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- Peru, surely.- We'd love to go to Peru, Bolivia, yeah.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Excellent. Well, good luck with all of that.
0:17:01 > 0:17:0439 is your score, 72 is your target.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- OK.- Anything less than 72, and you are through.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Well, I only know one, which is the first one.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13The British Prime Minister, which is Winston Churchill.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Winston Churchill, says Ellie.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Here is your red line, get below that with Winston Churchill,
0:17:18 > 0:17:20you are on your way to Round Two.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21How many of our 100 people said it?
0:17:24 > 0:17:27It's right. And you're through, look at that.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28Very well done indeed.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29APPLAUSE
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Taking your total up to 96.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Yeah, well played, everybody.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Let's start from the bottom up there.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38- The British dramatist? - Harold Pinter.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- The British novelist? - Doris Lessing.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- Do you know the poet?- No.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49It is Pablo Neruda.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Very well done if you said that, it's a pointless answer.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Well, we are at the end of our first round, and Phil and Jill,
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Jill and Phil, I'm afraid this is where we have to say goodbye to you.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01But, you'll be back next time,
0:18:01 > 0:18:03and we'll look forward to that very much indeed.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06In the meantime, thanks very much for playing, Phil and Jill.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17And so we are down to three pairs.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Best of luck to all three pairs for our next round,
0:18:22 > 0:18:24the category for which is...
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32who's going to go second? And whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:18:48 > 0:18:51US states with consecutive vowels, Richard.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Yeah, we're simply looking for any of the 50 US states who have two or
0:18:55 > 0:18:57more consecutive vowels in their name at any point.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58So, if they were fruit,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01peach would have consecutive vowels because it's got A and E,
0:19:01 > 0:19:02banana wouldn't.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Now, always tough going first on these sorts of rounds.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- Now I'm trying to think.- Yeah.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16I think I'm going to go for Phoenix.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Phoenix, says Ellie.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Let's find out what happens when we say Phoenix.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Ellie, I'm sorry!
0:19:28 > 0:19:29That's an incorrect answer.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31However, listen, the round is young.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33You may yet rise again.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- 100 points for Phoenix. - Yeah, sorry, Ellie.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40It's a city in Arizona, and I'm allowed to say Arizona,
0:19:40 > 0:19:42because it doesn't have consecutive vowels.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I cannot begin to tell you how long in my head I was just checking it
0:19:44 > 0:19:47didn't have consecutive vowels, before I said it!
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Thank you very much indeed.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50- Emma.- Hello.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54What are we thinking, Emma?
0:19:54 > 0:19:58I've got a couple in my head, I'm just over spelling them out,
0:19:58 > 0:19:59just in case.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03But I think I'm going to go with Georgia.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Georgia, says Emma.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Let's see how many of our 100 people said Georgia.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19APPLAUSE
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Very well done, Emma.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26That's very nicely played. Their state motto is "Wisdom, justice,
0:20:26 > 0:20:27"and moderation".
0:20:27 > 0:20:30It sounds quite good up to the last word, doesn't it?
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- Wisdom, justice... - Yeah, take that.- ..and moderation.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- I don't think so.- Yeah.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Now, Lisa.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Lisa, what would you like to go for?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42I think I'm going to go for Maine.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Maine, says Lisa.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Let's see how many of our 100 people said Maine.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54Well, eight's our low score.
0:20:54 > 0:20:5516 for Maine.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56APPLAUSE
0:21:01 > 0:21:04That's a nice answer, yeah, because it's quite scary, Maine,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06as an answer with consecutive vowels, isn't it?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Their state motto is "Dirigo".
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Dirigo, which means "I direct".
0:21:12 > 0:21:14What is that, as a motto?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- I direct?- That doesn't mean anything.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19LAUGHTER
0:21:20 > 0:21:24But you know? "I direct," indeed.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Thanks very much, Richard. Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Let's take a look at those scores. Eight, the best score of the pass, Emma. Very well done.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Once again, Emma and Janet at the front of the field there.
0:21:33 > 0:21:3416's where we find Lisa and Neil.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39100 is where we find Ellie and Flo, our head-to-headers from last time.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41But Flo, anything can happen in the next pass.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Good luck with that. Let's hope.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Let's hope you can find a low score that maybe keeps you in the
0:21:45 > 0:21:48running. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Now, then, Neil.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00- Neil.- Well, believe it or not, the answer I was going to give,
0:22:00 > 0:22:01my wife just gave it for me.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02So...
0:22:03 > 0:22:06I'm going to have to go with Mississippi.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Mississippi. OK, here is your red line.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12If you go below that with Mississippi, who knows what'll happen?
0:22:18 > 0:22:22I'm afraid an incorrect answer there, Neil.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26It seems unfair that Maine is so short and has repeated vowels,
0:22:26 > 0:22:28and Mississippi is so long and doesn't.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29But, yeah, there it is.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Yeah. There we are. Thank you very much.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Now Janet, great news, you're through.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35It doesn't matter what you score.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- Really? All right.- But it does matter what you score.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39It does matter, we know it matters.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Emma scored eight. Surely you've got to do as well or better than Emma?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46OK, I'll go with South Dakota.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49South Dakota, says Janet.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51No red line for you Janet, you are already through.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54But let's see how far down the column we get with South Dakota.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04That's a great score, down it goes!
0:23:04 > 0:23:06You see? Everyone's forgotten about "South".
0:23:06 > 0:23:08APPLAUSE
0:23:08 > 0:23:09Taking your total up to 10.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Yeah, very nicely played, a terrific answer.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Their state motto is "Under God people rule".
0:23:16 > 0:23:19"Underdog people rule" would be more interesting.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20As in "underdog people" rule...
0:23:21 > 0:23:23..which would be nice, I think.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Under God people rule...
0:23:25 > 0:23:27You think, yeah, all right, stop bigging yourself up.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Underdog people rule.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30OK, I'm interested.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32I will visit your state.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- I like that.- Yeah.- As a Fulham fan, I will visit your state!
0:23:38 > 0:23:39Thank you, Richard.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40Now, phew!
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Flo, what a lifeline you've got there out of the blue.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45We weren't expecting that.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- No.- Now, you can't waste this chance.
0:23:48 > 0:23:5116, 116.
0:23:51 > 0:23:5415 or less is what you need.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Well, a lot of my answers have already been said,
0:23:56 > 0:24:00but I think I'll go for Illinois.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Illinois.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02Illinois, says Flo.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Here is your red line.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05Get below that with Illinois,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07the head-to-head beckons
0:24:07 > 0:24:09for a second time. How many people said Illinois?
0:24:13 > 0:24:14It's right.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19You've done it!
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Very well done indeed!
0:24:22 > 0:24:24APPLAUSE
0:24:24 > 0:24:264, taking your total to 104.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27That's very well played, yeah.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Their state motto is "State sovereignty, national union".
0:24:31 > 0:24:34That sounds like a... That's a building society, isn't it?!
0:24:34 > 0:24:36That's even worse than "I direct".
0:24:36 > 0:24:39"State sovereignty, national union".
0:24:39 > 0:24:41- It doesn't mean anything.- No!
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Their state motto should be "Go Illinois!"
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- Yes!- Yeah. You know?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Now, there are no pointless answers at all.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50The best score you can possibly get, Janet, is two, so very,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53very well played. That was for South Dakota and also for Pennsylvania.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57You'd have got four for West Virginia and Rhode Island,
0:24:57 > 0:24:59alongside Illinois, so two terrific answers we saw there.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02South Carolina and Virginia would have scored you five.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Seven for Indiana.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Seven for Missouri as well, which would have been a terrific answer.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Eight for Louisiana and Tennessee.
0:25:08 > 0:25:0913 for Iowa.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12And the top three answers? Let's take a look at them.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16"Hawaii the lads", which is...
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Given we've got an all-Geordie head-to-head, is nice.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26There we are. Thank you very much, Richard. So we are at the end of our second round,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28and we have to say goodbye to one of our pairs,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31and I'm afraid that pair on this occasion is Neil and Lisa.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33I'm sorry, and this is where we actually say goodbye.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36There's no comebacks from this, I'm afraid.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Oh, I'm sorry, Mississippi.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Never mind, it's been lovely having you on, Neil and Lisa.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43I'm sorry we're saying goodbye so soon, but thanks so much for playing. Neil and Lisa.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47But for the remaining two pairs, it is now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Congratulations Janet and Emma, Flo and Ellie.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57You are now one step closer to the final
0:25:57 > 0:26:01and a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £10,500.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07This is very exciting. I mean, very exciting, obviously,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10because of the jackpot, but also exciting because we are at the
0:26:10 > 0:26:13head-to-head. You can chat before you give your answers, which is nice, takes the pressure off.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19so very, very best of luck. Lots to play for, I need hardly remind you.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Here is your first question, and it concerns...
0:26:32 > 0:26:37- Richard.- We're going to show you five pictures now of people who were honoured in that honours list.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Can you tell us the most obscure of these, please?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Thank you very much indeed. Let's reveal our five honourees,
0:26:42 > 0:26:44and they are...
0:27:07 > 0:27:09There we are, five people honoured
0:27:09 > 0:27:11in the Queen's Birthday Honours 2016.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Now, Janet and Emma, you're our low scorers so you will go first.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19WHISPERED CONVERSATION
0:27:23 > 0:27:26OK, I think we're going to go for...
0:27:26 > 0:27:28A, Alastair Cook.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30A, Alastair Cook, say Janet and Emma.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Alastair Cook. Now, Flo and Ellie,
0:27:32 > 0:27:34do you want to talk us through that board?
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Well, we'd like to, but we can't.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41I recognise B, but I can't think of her name, which is annoying.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44We don't know C.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46We don't know E.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48So I think we're going to have to go for D, Rod Stewart.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51OK. So, in the order they were given,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Janet and Emma have gone for Alastair Cook for A.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Let's see if that's right. Let's see how any of our 100 people said
0:27:56 > 0:27:57Alastair Cook.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01It's right.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07APPLAUSE
0:28:12 > 0:28:18Flo and Ellie, meanwhile, have gone for D, and have said Rod Stewart.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Rod Stewart.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26It's right.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Ooh, 83 for Rod Stewart!
0:28:30 > 0:28:31Well done, Janet and Emma.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Now, B, who you can't remember is...
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Janet Street-Porter.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Those are my favourite Quality Streets, those ones she's got there,
0:28:43 > 0:28:45I think by a margin.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47LAUGHTER
0:28:49 > 0:28:51C is the jockey Hayley Turner.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Very well done if you said that.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Now E, I think he's the first person
0:28:58 > 0:29:02- ever to be on the honours list whilst in space.- Wow.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03- Tim Peake.- It is Tim Peake.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Thank you very much indeed. OK, here comes your second question.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Flo and Ellie, you get to answer it first,
0:29:12 > 0:29:14but remember you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16I need hardly remind you, a lot to play for.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Best of luck to both pairs. Our second question is all about...
0:29:22 > 0:29:26- Richard.- Yes, we're simply going to show you clues now to facts about Radio 1.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Thank you very much. Let's reveal our facts, and here they are.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50I'll read those again.
0:30:06 > 0:30:07There we are.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Flo and Ellie will go first.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10WHISPERED CONVERSATION
0:30:18 > 0:30:22I think we're going to go with name of Radio 1's digital sister station,
0:30:22 > 0:30:23which is Radio 1Xtra.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Radio 1Xtra, say Flo and Ellie.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27Now, then, Janet and Emma.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30That board is all yours. Do you fancy talking us through it?
0:30:33 > 0:30:37I think the first one is The Kinks, but I'm not sure.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40The Frankie Goes To Hollywood song, I think is Relax.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44I can't remember the year it was launched.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47I probably should, it's in my time frame.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51And the former DJ is Noel Edmonds.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54We'll go with Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Relax.
0:30:54 > 0:30:55Relax, say Janet and Emma.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58So we have Radio 1Xtra and we have Relax.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Flo and Ellie have gone for Radio 1Xtra,
0:31:01 > 0:31:02let's see how many of our 100 said that.
0:31:05 > 0:31:06It's right.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12Scoring you 21.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13APPLAUSE
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Meanwhile, Janet and Emma have gone for Relax.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25It's right.
0:31:26 > 0:31:2863, for Relax.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Back in the game, Flo and Ellie, very well done indeed.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Very well played. If you had said The Kinks,
0:31:35 > 0:31:36you would have lost the point as well,
0:31:36 > 0:31:38because it was Flowers In The Rain by The Move.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45If you had to guess a year, you would have won it with the year,
0:31:45 > 0:31:46if you had to guess a year?
0:31:46 > 0:31:47'63 or something?
0:31:47 > 0:31:49'67 it would have been.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53And Noel Edmonds the biggest scorer of all.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59So 1Xtra did a nice job for you there, well played.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Now, it all comes down to our decider. This is your third question,
0:32:04 > 0:32:07whoever wins this goes through to the final to play for the jackpot.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Best of luck. Our third question today is all about...
0:32:12 > 0:32:15- Richard.- Simply five types of poetry now, or types of poem,
0:32:15 > 0:32:17but with alternate letters removed.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Can you tell us what they are, please?
0:32:19 > 0:32:23Whichever team wins, obviously is going to play for that £10,500.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Best of luck to everybody.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Best of luck indeed. OK, let's reveal our poems with bits missing,
0:32:28 > 0:32:30and here they are.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40I'll read those all again.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51There we are. OK, Janet and Emma.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55We think we know four.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59We know three for the definite, but I think we're going to take a risk.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04We'll go for the fourth one down, epitaph.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Epitaph, say Janet and Emma.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Now, then, Flo and Ellie, it looks like you were
0:33:08 > 0:33:09about to say that as well.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- Yeah.- Do you want to talk us through the rest of that board?
0:33:12 > 0:33:16So we think it's limerick, haiku, not sure about the A one,
0:33:16 > 0:33:17and then sonnet at the bottom.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22I don't think it's going to beat epitaph, so...
0:33:22 > 0:33:24- No.- Just pick any. Haiku?- Go for it.
0:33:24 > 0:33:25- We'll go haiku.- Haiku.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27So we have epitaph versus haiku.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Janet and Emma went for epitaph, let's see if that's right.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Let's see how many of our 100 got it.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35It is right.
0:33:40 > 0:33:41APPLAUSE
0:33:41 > 0:33:4319 for epitaph.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Flo and Ellie have gone for haiku.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said haiku.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56It's right.
0:33:57 > 0:33:5919's what you have to beat...
0:34:01 > 0:34:03APPLAUSE
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Very well done indeed, Janet and Emma.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07After three questions, you're through to the final 2-1.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10I just wrote a haiku for you.
0:34:10 > 0:34:15"Epitaph, well done, it easily beat haiku - bye, Flo and Ellie."
0:34:15 > 0:34:17That's my little haiku there.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Let's fill the rest of these in, shall we?
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Now, this last one, the most famous version of these
0:34:28 > 0:34:33are when the first letter of each line spells out another word.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34Oh, yes.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35And it's an acrostic.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Very well done if you said that.
0:34:40 > 0:34:41Thank you very much indeed.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44OK, so the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:44 > 0:34:46I'm afraid, Flo and Ellie, it is you.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Two head-to-heads on the bounce, so very impressive there.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53And Phoenix, we will always remember, is not a US state.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57It's been lovely having you on the show, thank you so much for playing. Flo and Ellie.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58Well done.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03But for Janet and Emma, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Congratulations, Janet and Emma.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10You have seen off all the competition,
0:35:10 > 0:35:13and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:13 > 0:35:14Yes!
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Now, you have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £10,500.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:31 > 0:35:32What would you like to see come up?
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- Film, yeah.- Film stuff, quite good.
0:35:38 > 0:35:39Film.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40I don't know. What else?
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Science for Emma here, she's very good on the science.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Some physics, physics stuff would be good.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Yeah. OK. Well very, very best of luck.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Let's see what's up on the board for today,
0:35:50 > 0:35:52and let's hope there's something up there that you like the look of.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55That'd be brilliant. Let's see. Today's selection reads like this.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- Well, rugby's definitely not. - No idea for a rugby.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13And TfL, obviously not for us, because, you know.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14We don't use it.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17I'm not sure what "little"... We'll have to go with films.
0:36:17 > 0:36:18- We said films.- Probably films.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21We've got no idea what "little things" means, so...
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Films about journalism, that's what you're going to go for.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26OK, very, very best of luck for £10,500.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29We're looking for any cast member of any of the following three films,
0:36:29 > 0:36:31please, according to IMDb.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35We are looking for any actor credited in Spotlight, from 2015.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39Any actor in the 1976 film All The President's Men.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43Or any actor in the 2005 film Good Night, And Good Luck.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44So three great films there,
0:36:44 > 0:36:47anyone who appeared in any of those three films, according to IMDb.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- Very best of luck.- Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:36:53 > 0:36:56and all you need to win the jackpot of £10,500 is for just one of those
0:36:56 > 0:36:58answers to be pointless.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Are you ready? Very good.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:04 > 0:37:05I only know Spotlight.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Spotlight, yeah, because the other ones I only know the main characters.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10- Yeah.- So we'll go for Spotlight.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14- JK Simmons?- Was he in it?
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- Wasn't he in it?- I don't know... - I think he was.
0:37:16 > 0:37:17I'm pretty sure he was.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19- Maybe...- Rachel McAdams.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21I know Stanley Tucci's in it.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22Yeah, yeah.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25He might be a little bit obscure.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Because All The President's Men, I only know
0:37:27 > 0:37:30Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman are in that.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33The other one I don't know, so we'll stick with Spotlight, then.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35- I've never heard of the other two. - JK Simmons was in it, wasn't he?
0:37:35 > 0:37:37- I'm sure.- I believe you.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40I think so. Shall we go with him, and Rachel McAdams?
0:37:40 > 0:37:42I would say Stanley Tucci.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43Is it Rachel McAdams?
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Yeah, but she's quite an important character...
0:37:48 > 0:37:51I can see someone, and, like, it's on the tip of my tongue,
0:37:51 > 0:37:53and it's killing us that I can't think of it.
0:37:53 > 0:37:54- Ten seconds left.- Give us a clue.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56He's, like, really thin.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57He's the one who comes in for help.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03- I can't remember.- We did see it at the cinema, didn't we?
0:38:03 > 0:38:05OK, that is your minute up, I'm afraid.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08It's never long enough, that minute! What would you like to go for?
0:38:08 > 0:38:11We're going to... They're all in Spotlight.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- OK.- We're going to say Rachel McAdams.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14Rachel McAdams.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- JK Simmons.- JK Simmons.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18And Stanley Tucci.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20And Stanley Tucci. Of those three,
0:38:20 > 0:38:22which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:22 > 0:38:24- Stanley Tucci?- I would say Stanley Tucci, yeah.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Stanley Tucci goes last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:27 > 0:38:29JK Simmons, we don't know if he's in it.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33JK Simmons. OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then, and here they are.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Well, very, very best of luck. Three good answers on the board there.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44If one of these turned out to be pointless, and who knows, it may,
0:38:44 > 0:38:47you will be leaving here with £10,500.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50What would you like to do with that? Janet, I'm going to ask you first.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52It would have to be a holiday, wouldn't it?
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Well, a night out on the Toon probably, first, and then a nice holiday.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58- And then a holiday, to get over it! - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00- Emma, how about you? - Probably the same.
0:39:00 > 0:39:01The same criteria, probably.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Would you go out with your mum, or would it be a separate night out?
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- I'd go out with my friends from uni. - It'd be separate nights, yeah.
0:39:07 > 0:39:08Stuff like that.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Maybe on the same night, and you could agree to meet...
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Just pass each other, just pass each other.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14As ships in the night maybe, yes.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Then, yeah, definitely a holiday.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19Probably to Orlando, Florida.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21OK. Well, as I say, very, very, very best of luck.
0:39:21 > 0:39:22Three good answers on the board there.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24JK Simmons was your first answer.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26In the case of all three answers,
0:39:26 > 0:39:29we are looking for cast members from the film Spotlight.
0:39:29 > 0:39:30Your first answer was JK Simmons.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Let's see if that's right, and let's see if it's pointless.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36If it is both of those things, you leave here with £10,500.
0:39:40 > 0:39:41No!
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Well, you weren't sure if JK Simmons was right.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45It turns out it was wrong.
0:39:45 > 0:39:50So we move on swiftly to your next answer, which was Rachel McAdams.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Again, we're looking for cast members from Spotlight.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56If Rachel McAdams is pointless, it will win you £10,500.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Let's see how many of our 100 people said Rachel McAdams.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04It's right. JK Simmons, your first answer, was incorrect.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07But absolutely right with Rachel McAdams.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Down we go, through the 20s, into the teens.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Into single figures, down we go.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Rachel McAdams takes us down to three!
0:40:14 > 0:40:16GROANS AND APPLAUSE
0:40:19 > 0:40:23Well, we've gone from 100 to three, in just one answer!
0:40:23 > 0:40:25- Progress.- I think that is progress,
0:40:25 > 0:40:26and it's definitely in the right direction.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29We now move to your third and final answer, Stanley Tucci.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33This is the answer you thought was your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Let's just think about what it would be like if this were pointless,
0:40:36 > 0:40:40and you were to win the jackpot of £10,500.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Stanley Tucci, is it right? How many people said it?
0:40:44 > 0:40:45Is it pointless?
0:40:48 > 0:40:51It's right. Your first answer was incorrect.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54Rachel McAdams, your second answer, took us all the way down to three.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Stanley Tucci now takes us down through the teens.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Into single figures, down we go, we're still going down...
0:41:00 > 0:41:01CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Very well done indeed! Absolutely brilliant.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07- Thank you!- Superb.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19You have done it!
0:41:19 > 0:41:23Congratulations. Stanley Tucci was a pointless answer.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25That means you are going home...
0:41:25 > 0:41:26Let's recap.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29A night out together on the town,
0:41:29 > 0:41:32and then a holiday, very much together as well!
0:41:32 > 0:41:35£10,500 is your jackpot.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Very well done indeed, Janet and Emma.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45That was brilliant. You know what, it's a huge jackpot,
0:41:45 > 0:41:47and we're so happy to see it go to the two of you.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50It's been a wonderful performance, you've been so lovely as well.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52What a wonderful film Spotlight is too.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54- Yeah.- You'll always like it even more now.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Do you know, my first instinct was JK Simmons as well,
0:41:56 > 0:41:59so I don't know who we're thinking of. But I thought he was in it as well.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02- The editor of the newspaper.- Do you know what, I know who that was.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06Let's have a look at the pointless answers. I know you don't care. You talk amongst yourselves for a bit.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09I'll talk to everybody at home who hasn't just won £10,500.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16John Slattery is the guy who played the editor.
0:42:16 > 0:42:17He obviously looks like JK Simmons,

0:42:31 > 0:42:32I say lovely.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Everyone in that film a pointless answer apart from Redford,

0:42:45 > 0:42:47Frank Langella, who famously played Nixon.
