0:00:16 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27and a very warm welcome to Pointless -
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the game where you're always aiming for the lowest score.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37- And couple number one. - Hi, my name's Daisy,
0:00:37 > 0:00:39this is my dad, Dave,
0:00:39 > 0:00:40and we are from Markbeech in Kent.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Couple number two.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44My name's Ruth. I'm from Leeds.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48This is Steffi from Oxford, and we are ex-colleagues, now friends.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Couple number three.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hello, my name is Daniela, and this is my husband, Stephen,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56and we live in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And finally, couple number four.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01I'm Harry, this is my friend, Henry, and we're from Kent.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02And these are today's contestants.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Thanks very much, all of you. A very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Lovely to have you with us. We'll get a chance to chat to each of you,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12of course, throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17As bright as a button, as sharp as a tack,
0:01:17 > 0:01:18as pretty as a picture,
0:01:18 > 0:01:20it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- That's nice. Hiya. - APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Hey, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26- Hello there.- Hello there.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Three returning pairs, which is quite nice.- Yes.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32On podium one, Daisy and Dave, who got through to the head-to-head,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34but we welcome one new pair as well,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36that's Steffi and Ruth on podium two.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37I wonder what's going to happen.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- I know.- Last time, we had Lorcan and Joe, lovely Lorcan and Joe.- Mm.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43They had a World Cup question, which is some people's perfect question.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45They did pretty well, got two three-pointers, didn't they?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Couldn't quite ram home the advantage.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49- No, no.- Lovely fellas, though.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Very nice. Thank you very much.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53So, Joe and Lorcan didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55we add another £1,000 to that,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57so today's jackpot starts off at £2,000.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59APPLAUSE There it is.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Remember this, if you remember nothing else,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:11 > 0:02:14will be eliminated. That's it. That's basically the only rule.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17No conferring till we get to the head-to-head round, of course.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Can you all decide, in your pairs, who's going to go first,
0:02:25 > 0:02:26who's going to go second?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Richard.- Yeah, on each board,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42we're going to show you seven pairs of book titles.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45They share a word in the title, and we've missed the word out.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Can you tell us what it is, please?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at home.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Let's reveal our first board
0:02:52 > 0:02:54of shared book titles, and here they are.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I'll read those again.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56There we are.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Daisy, welcome back to Pointless.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Now, remind us what you do, Daisy.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05I'm a procurement administrator from Kent.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08What does a procurement administrator do?
0:04:08 > 0:04:09So, I basically work in a company
0:04:09 > 0:04:12that buys and then supplies UK supermarkets
0:04:12 > 0:04:13with their berries.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Oh, that's nice!
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- Yeah.- Do you have a favourite berry, Daisy?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20I do love a blackberry. I think it's underrated.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Yeah,.- I quite like all of them. - I like a blackberry.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25And do you do frozen berries as well, or fresh berries?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- No, only fresh. - Only fresh, that's interesting.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Right, so seasonal. Well, I suppose they come from all over the world.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33All over the world. South America, Europe, yeah, so...
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Very good. Now, Daisy,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37how are we liking the shared words in these book titles?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I mean, literature is not great for me.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43OK.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I'm going to go with the top one, and say, "Wolf."
0:04:48 > 0:04:50OK, "Wolf," says Daisy.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Let's see how many of our 100 people said, "Wolf."
0:04:55 > 0:04:57It's right.
0:04:57 > 0:04:5976 for wolf.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01APPLAUSE
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Yeah, two very different books, do not get them mixed up.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Although, funnily enough, not that different, if you think about it.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10In terms of the excess of Wall Street...
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Yeah, I suppose that's true.- ..and the excess of that particular court.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- Yeah.- They're both about, kind of, greed, avarice
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- and uncontrolled power...- Yes.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- ..in a funny kind of way.- Yeah.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23There we are, interesting.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Ruth, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.- Good to have you here.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28What do you do up in Leeds?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Yeah, so I'm a product manager for a microbiology company,
0:05:31 > 0:05:33but my remit is the UK and Ireland.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Now, that's interesting.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37So, what sort of products are these?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39So, I have two product ranges,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41I have blood culture instruments
0:05:41 > 0:05:43and pre-poured media.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46So, if you remember petri dishes at school...
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- I do.- Yes, I have loads of those,
0:05:48 > 0:05:50about 1,000 different types.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Wow!- Yes.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54That is...quite exciting!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56And you're trading them over the place?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Yes.- Petri dishes and all sorts of other instruments as well.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Yeah, mainly to NHS laboratories.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Very good.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Now, Ruth, how do you find this board?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09It's OK. It's a lot better than I thought it would be
0:06:09 > 0:06:11when I heard the round was Literature,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14cos it's not one of my favourite things to do.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16But, yeah, that's OK.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19The bottom one, I would say the missing word is
0:06:19 > 0:06:21magic.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Magic. "Magic," says Ruth.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Let's see how many of our 100 people agree with Ruth.
0:06:28 > 0:06:3276 is the only score at this point, and you've passed that.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Down we go, still going down.
0:06:34 > 0:06:3620, very well done indeed, Ruth.
0:06:36 > 0:06:3920 for magic.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Yeah, it was the first of the Discworld novels,
0:06:42 > 0:06:43The Colour Of Magic,
0:06:43 > 0:06:45and it wasn't until the fourth of those novels
0:06:45 > 0:06:47that Terry Pratchett was able to become a full-time writer.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50He was the press officer for the Central Electricity Generating Board
0:06:50 > 0:06:52up until the fourth Discworld novel.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Oh, that must've been a lovely moment!
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Yes, can you imagine?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Just a royalty cheque coming in, and just going,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00"Yep. Yep, that's it."
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Do you think he walked down to the Electricity Board
0:07:03 > 0:07:04and gave them what for?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I don't think he did, cos he was such a good guy.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Such a nice man. - I bet he was lovely to them.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09I bet they were sad to lose him.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Think of the joy he gave after that as well.- Yeah.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- So it worked out for everybody. - Yeah, he still lit up the world.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16LAUGHTER
0:07:16 > 0:07:18There you are. Yeah.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Yeah, no, he did. He was switched on, wasn't he?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- Yeah, there you go. Yep.- Yeah.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28He wouldn't shock you.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- No.- Would he?
0:07:30 > 0:07:31No.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Erm...
0:07:33 > 0:07:35And...
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Bright spark.- He was a bright spark, there you go.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40You've found us a way out of this conversation.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Thank you. There we go. Thank you very much indeed.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Daniela, welcome back to Pointless.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Now, listen, it was Round One last time.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51We had to say goodbye to you in Round One, which was far too soon.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53You are here from Harrogate.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Remind us what you like getting up to in Harrogate.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00I like to go antique shopping.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- Mm-hmm.- Erm...
0:08:04 > 0:08:06..and spend my time...
0:08:07 > 0:08:09..going to the hospital.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10- That seems to be my... - LAUGHTER
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Antiques and the hospital!
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- ..second home. Yes.- Is it a nice hospital in Harrogate?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- Yes, it's very nice, actually. - Is it an old hospital?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Very good consultants, so, yes.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21Very good indeed.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Daniela, what would you like to go for on our board?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Right, OK.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I know one that's going to be quite high-scoring,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32so I'm going to take a chance with...
0:08:34 > 0:08:37..The Hare With Blue Eyes
0:08:37 > 0:08:39and The Blue Spyglass.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42The Hare With Blue Eyes and Blue Spyglass.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Da-da-da!
0:08:50 > 0:08:54No, I'm sorry, not blue in this case, Daniela.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55- Not blue.- Sorry, Daniela.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Someone should write that book, but they haven't as yet, I'm afraid.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01But I'll give all the answers at the end of the pass.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Thanks very much indeed.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Now, then, Henry, welcome back.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Remind us what you do, Henry.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I work for a publishers in Kent,
0:09:09 > 0:09:11where we do kind of career guides,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14and also guides for school guides,
0:09:14 > 0:09:16like revision books and things.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18And this is a fairly new job, is it?
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Yeah, I've been there for about six months.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- And fun? So far, so good? Enjoying it?- Yeah, yeah, it's really good.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Is it based in Kent, or is it based in London?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Yeah, I'm based in Kent, yeah.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31We're kind of...growing.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32That's even more exciting!
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- Yeah, exactly.- Very good.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Do you find that suddenly, in that run from sort of Easter onwards,
0:09:37 > 0:09:39as the exams get closer...
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Yeah, absolutely. - ..A huge spike in your sales?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Yeah, and also August.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- The retakes?- August spike, massive.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Yeah. Very good. OK, now, Henry, this board is all yours.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Do you want to talk us through it and fill in all those missing words?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55I think I know a few of them. The third one,
0:09:55 > 0:09:58The Great Gatsby and Great Expectations.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00And I think it's...
0:10:00 > 0:10:02The Amber Spyglass,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05and I guess it must be The Hare With Amber Eyes.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07And then The Diary Of A Nobody
0:10:07 > 0:10:09and Diary Of A Wimpy Kid.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11And then Don Quixote...
0:10:12 > 0:10:15..and Monsignor Quixote would be my guess for that one.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20But I think I'm going to go with The Diary Of A Nobody
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- and Diary Of A Wimpy Kid. - "Diary," says Henry.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Let's see how many of our 100 people went with diary.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- Ooh!- 62 for diary, not bad at all.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Yeah, there were lower scores out there of the ones you knew.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Because Don Quixote and Monsignor Quixote
0:10:42 > 0:10:45would have scored you 33 points.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48And The Hare With Amber Eyes, you're quite right, and The Amber Spyglass,
0:10:48 > 0:10:50it's an even smaller scorer. Just 16 for that.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53You did well to avoid The Great Gatsby and Great Expectations.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56As you'd hope, that's a very big scorer.
0:10:56 > 0:10:5793 for that.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00But the best answer on the board is Moon...
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- Tiger.- ..Tiger, and The White Tiger, and that would have scored you 6.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Well done if you said that at home. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Let's take a look at those scores.
0:11:09 > 0:11:1120 the best score of that pass, Ruth, very well done indeed.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Yeah, I'd say Ruth and Steffi looking very strong,
0:11:14 > 0:11:17because we then travel up to 62,
0:11:17 > 0:11:19which is where your nearest rivals are, Henry and Harry.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Then 76, Daisy and Dave,
0:11:21 > 0:11:23and then 100 for Stephen and Daniela.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26So, Stephen, who knows what's going to happen on the next pass?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29A low score from you might help at this stage, so good luck with that.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31We're going to come back down the line now,
0:11:31 > 0:11:34can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37OK, let's put seven more books
0:11:37 > 0:11:38with shared words up on the board.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41And here they are.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I shall read those all again.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41There we are. Harry, welcome back.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Harry, remind us what you do.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45I work for a property management company in London.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47And this IS a new job.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- Yes.- Very new indeed.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Only two weeks. - Nice people in the company?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Lovely people.- That's nice.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Very welcoming.- Do they know that you're here today,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- or did you pull a sickie? - They do know, they do know.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Well, they would find out. They would find out.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05And, Harry, what are your interests when not managing properties?
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I'm big on music, big on sport.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10As Richard will be disappointed to hear, I'm a Chelsea fan.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Well, listen, someone's got to be.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14It's not a disappointment, it's kind of fine.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17In some ways, I just think, you know...
0:13:17 > 0:13:20If you've been affected by any of the issues raised by this programme,
0:13:20 > 0:13:23there is a fact sheet after the show.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Harry, what would you like to go for?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27You're on 62. 37 or less is your target.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30The old board was slightly better,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32but I know a few of these.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35I'm going to go for what I hope is a slightly lower scorer,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38The Hunt For Red October and Red Dragon.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39"Red," says Harry.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people...
0:13:42 > 0:13:43And here is your RED line.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46If you can get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Look at that, 83.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52That's a high score there.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Takes your total up to 145.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Yeah, it was Tom Clancy's first-ever novel, The Hunt For Red October.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00We talked about it before, haven't we?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I think you judged a newspaper headline writing competition.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Oh, yes.- For the best headline of the year,
0:14:05 > 0:14:07and it was about looking for a stolen car.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- That's right, yeah. - What was the headline?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11No recollection whatsoever.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13It was The Hunt For The Red-Hot Skoda.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Oh, yes, that's it.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Thank you very much. How do you remember that?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- I don't know.- I was there! - It made me laugh at the time.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Now, then, Stephen, welcome back.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Hi.- What do you do, Stephen?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30I'm a writer and a school workshop provider.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33That's right. So, you tour around with Madge The Mermaid,
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- as we discovered last time.- Yeah.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38And you've written stories around Madge The Mermaid.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- It's just one story.- Just one.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Yeah.- But she encourages children to recycle.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47She encourages children to have a love of writing.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49She's made of recycled material.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50She's got a bucket for a head,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- fishing netting for hair, and a dress.- Very nice.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Cups for eyes, rubber gloves for hands.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Oh! Is she single?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01LAUGHTER
0:15:01 > 0:15:05Well, that would be giving the story away.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Very good indeed. Well, we'll have to find out.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Stephen, you are no longer the high-scorers.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12The high-scorers are now behind you, Harry and Henry on 145.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14If you can score 44 or less,
0:15:14 > 0:15:16you are through to Round Two.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21There's two I know, and there's one I'm not sure about.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22So...
0:15:22 > 0:15:26I'm going to play safe and say the one that I know,
0:15:26 > 0:15:29and hope that it gets below 45.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Lucky Jim and Lord Jim.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Lucky Jim and Lord Jim.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Here is your red line.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37If you can get below that with Lucky Jim, Lord Jim,
0:15:37 > 0:15:39you're through to Round Two. How many of our 100 said it?
0:15:44 > 0:15:45It's right.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Very well done. Look at that, 39.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Fantastic, 139 is your total.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Yeah, Clive James once described Lucky Jim
0:15:55 > 0:15:58as the funniest novel he'd ever read,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00and that's someone whose judgment you should trust.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Yeah, absolutely, in all things.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Steffi, welcome.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05Great to have you here.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Steffi, what do you do?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10I'm an analyst in the world of medical devices.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11This is where you and Ruth met!
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- Yes.- Across a petri dish.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- Yes!- What about that?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17But you no longer work together.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18- No, no.- Who moved away?
0:16:18 > 0:16:19- Ruth did.- Me.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Must have been something I said, I don't know.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24How long ago did Ruth move away?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- A year.- A year, I think, yeah. - You must all miss Ruth.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Yes, but we still meet and keep in touch.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33And go on game shows and things like that.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- Yes, exactly.- The usual thing.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- Yeah, as you do.- Steffi, what are your interests?
0:16:38 > 0:16:42I like going on long walks, reading a book, boring stuff, really.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Nothing wrong with that, both of those are lovely things to do.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Steffi, reading books, very helpful in this particular category.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51How are you finding our board?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I'm sure about one and not sure about the other one,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57but what's life without risk?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00So, I'm going to say The Railway Children, Midnight's Children.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02The Railway Children... This is your risk.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- Yes.- "Children," says Steffi.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05There's no red line for you, Steffi,
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- for the lovely reason that you are already through.- Right!
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Doesn't matter what you score.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Brilliant. I'll say, "Children," then.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13There we are, The Railway Children, Midnight's Children.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Let's see how far down the column we get.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19It's right.
0:17:19 > 0:17:2183, it's a high score...
0:17:22 > 0:17:25..but who cares? You are already through, takes your total up to 103.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Yeah, won the Booker of Bookers, Midnight's Children,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30the best Booker prize-winning novel
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- of all the Booker prize-winning novels.- Really? Very good.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- Now, Dave, we come back to you.- Yes.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40We come back to you, our head-to-headers in the last show.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41- Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Here from Kent. Remind us what you do.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47I do business development for an aerospace company.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Very interesting.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Very in...
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Aerospace, when the words "aerospace"
0:17:52 > 0:17:54or "civil service" come up,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56I'm always a bit nervous about prying too far into
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- what it is people do. - We make engine components.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Well, there you are, engine components.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Oh, that's good. Dave, this board is all yours.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Would you like to go through and mop up?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08The three I knew have gone...
0:18:09 > 0:18:13..so I'm going to have to take a bit of a guess,
0:18:13 > 0:18:15and the one I'm going to guess at
0:18:15 > 0:18:16is the fourth one down,
0:18:16 > 0:18:18and I'm going to say, "Secret."
0:18:19 > 0:18:21"Secret," says Dave.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Here is your red line.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Get below that with secret, you're through to the next round.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27How many people said, "Secret"?
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Very well done, Dave, that's exactly what you needed from it.
0:18:34 > 0:18:3546 is what it scores you,
0:18:35 > 0:18:39your total is 122, and you're into Round Two.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Well played, Dave, safely through.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43That's a good book, The Secret History.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45That was her debut novel as well.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46The top one, A Handful Of...
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- Dust.- ..Dust, yeah.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50And Heat And Dust. Would have scored 18.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- Cloud...- Atlas.- ..Atlas,
0:18:52 > 0:18:54and Atlas Shrugged, would have scored 20,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- and Eat, Pray...- Love. - Yep, and Women In Love.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00So, the best answer up there is Dust for 18 points.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Thank you very much indeed.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06So, at the end of our first round, the pair we have to say goodbye to... Harry and Henry!
0:19:06 > 0:19:08How has this happened, Harry and Henry?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I knew some other ones but, yeah, miscalculation.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Well, this is a great shame.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15I thought you were head-to-headers in this show.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18We've only got ourselves to blame, unfortunately.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Well, listen, it's a shame.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21It has been great having you on the show.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Thank you so much for coming to play. Harry and Henry, everyone.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26APPLAUSE
0:19:26 > 0:19:29But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35And there we are, down to three pairs for Round Two,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38and we'll be down to two pairs at the end of this round
0:19:38 > 0:19:40for our head-to-head. Steffi and Ruth, well done.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Ruth, you were our lowest individual scorer for that last round,
0:19:43 > 0:19:45and Steffi and Ruth, our lowest combined score,
0:19:45 > 0:19:47so very good on that far podium.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Our category for Round Two - good luck with it, by the way,
0:19:49 > 0:19:51all three pairs - is...
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Can you all decide, in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:19:55 > 0:19:57who's going to go second?
0:19:57 > 0:20:00And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05OK, and the question concerns...
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Richard.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Yeah, we're about to show you a picture of 16 different people
0:20:13 > 0:20:15arranged in eight comedy double acts.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18We're looking for the name of any of the individuals you see here,
0:20:18 > 0:20:20the full name of anyone you're about to see.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22You will be tempted to say the name of a double act.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Please don't, just the individual names
0:20:24 > 0:20:25of any one you're about to see.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- Good luck. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30So, as Richard said, we're going to show an image.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32That'll stay up for the whole round, OK?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34So, let's have a look at that image.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40There we are, there they all are as duos.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43There we are.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45Eight duos.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49And there they all are as individuals.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53You just have to say the name of any person up on that board
0:20:53 > 0:20:54and, Daisy, we come to you first.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Hmm. OK, this isn't...
0:21:00 > 0:21:03I'm not 100% sure on quite a few...
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I feel like it's going to be quite an obvious one,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10but I'm just going to have to go with it and say,
0:21:10 > 0:21:12"Sue Grady."
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Sue Grady.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16"Sue Grady," says Daisy.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Let's see how many of our 100 people said, "Sue Grady."
0:21:23 > 0:21:25No.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30No, I'm afraid Sue Grady not up on that board.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Sorry, Daisy. You said you were going to go for an obvious one
0:21:32 > 0:21:34and, to be fair to you, you didn't.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- No!- You really didn't,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38but I'll give all the answers at the end of the pass.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Thank you very much indeed.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Daniela, who would you like to go for?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47It's first names that bother me.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Yes, that's the trick, isn't it?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51I'm going to go,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53bottom line, third one along...
0:21:55 > 0:21:57..is it David Baddiel?
0:21:57 > 0:22:01David Baddiel, yes, let's have a look and see if that's right,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04and see how many of our 100 people went for David Baddiel.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Ooh.
0:22:12 > 0:22:1425 for David Baddiel.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Good score there, Daniela.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Yeah, he did a wonderful theatre show
0:22:19 > 0:22:22where he talks about his family, talks about his parents.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- It's brilliant. Yeah. - Have you been to see it?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26No, I say it's brilliant, I've read all about it.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27- It's so good. - My Family, Not The Sitcom.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Yeah, and went into the West End, I imagine it'll be touring around.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31If you get the chance to see it, do.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I mean, it's pretty jaw-dropping at times.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35But it's very, very funny.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Steffi.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42I think I'll go for top row, I might be mixing up the surname,
0:22:42 > 0:22:44but I think it's Sue Perkins.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46"Sue Perkins," says Steffi.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Let's see how many of our 100 people said, "Sue Perkins."
0:22:57 > 0:22:5925, there we are.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00APPLAUSE
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Seems to be a very popular score there, 25.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06She was once crowned the world's biggest liar, Sue Perkins,
0:23:06 > 0:23:07at a competition in Cumbria.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10At least, that's what she told me. I don't know.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14No, she was. That's among her many, many skills.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16She's great, Sue Perkins. Thank you very much.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17Well, we're halfway through the round,
0:23:17 > 0:23:20let's take a look at those scores. 25 the best score,
0:23:20 > 0:23:23shared between Steffi and Ruth, and Stephen and Daniela.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27And then up to 100, where I'm afraid Daisy and Dave are.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29So, Dave, who knows what's going to happen in the next pass?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31But a low score from you isn't going to hurt.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:38 > 0:23:43So, Ruth, 74 or less keeps you in the game.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Right, I'm going to go with Mel...
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Gee... Giedroyc. I'm not sure how you say it.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50- Giedroyc.- That's it.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Mel Giedroyc.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55OK, here's your red line, let's see if you can get below that red line
0:23:55 > 0:23:58with Mel Giedroyc. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Very well done. You are through to the head-to-head, Ruth.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Down that goes to 11, very well done.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09APPLAUSE
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Taking your total up to 36.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Yeah, she's a 17th generation grandchild
0:24:15 > 0:24:16of a Prince of Lithuania,
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- Mel Giedroyc. You can see it when someone says it.- You can tell.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- You can tell.- She's a class act. - You can tell she's royalty.- Yeah.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Wonderful. Wonderful.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26Now, Stephen.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Know a few. I'll go for Frank Skinner.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Frank Skinner. Again, 74 is your target as well.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Let's see how many of our 100 people said, "Frank Skinner."
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Here's your red line.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Very well done, Frank Skinner gets you into the head-to-head as well.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Down we go to 29.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47APPLAUSE
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- 54 is your total.- Well played.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Of course had a famous double act with David Baddiel.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54I would have to say, if you ranked every comedian,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56every comic in Britain in terms of quick wit,
0:24:56 > 0:24:58in terms of being able to respond,
0:24:58 > 0:24:59he and Lee Mack would be in the final.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Exactly the other one I was going to say.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- Yeah.- So fast, and such a brilliant mind.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Very good indeed. Thank you, Richard.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Now, Dave, I'm so sorry to tell you,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11you are our high-scorers even before you've given your answer.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14But, for fun, do you want to talk us through this board?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Reeves and Mortimer.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19You've got...
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Ernie... No, what is it?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23I can't think of his name.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Is it Jeeves and Wooster at the end?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28I'm not sure. But I'll go for Vic Reeves.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29OK, Vic Reeves.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31"Vic Reeves," says Dave.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Let's see how many of our 100 people said, "Vic Reeves."
0:25:33 > 0:25:36No red line for you, I'm afraid, as you are the high-scorers.
0:25:45 > 0:25:4629.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51For the record book, 129 is your total.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54It's interesting with some of these to see who scores the most
0:25:54 > 0:25:55- in the double acts, isn't it?- Yes.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57So, Sue beating Mel there,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59I think maybe cos of Mel's surname more than anything.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01I imagine the first names don't deter anybody.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05So, Vic Reeves scores 29, the wonderful Bob Mortimer next to him,
0:26:05 > 0:26:07let's see what he scored...
0:26:07 > 0:26:0924. He won't like that!
0:26:09 > 0:26:11One of my favourite days ever in television
0:26:11 > 0:26:14was when I first met Bob Mortimer and realised he was lovely.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16You think, "What if he hadn't been?"
0:26:16 > 0:26:19That would have been upsetting, wouldn't it?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- But he is, he is.- He's wonderful. - He's famously lovely.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23Dawn French...
0:26:23 > 0:26:25would have scored you...
0:26:25 > 0:26:2654.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28And Jennifer Saunders...
0:26:29 > 0:26:31..would have scored you 43.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Big win for Dawn French there.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Lou Costello, Abbott and Costello there, it's Lou Costello first...
0:26:37 > 0:26:39..would've scored 9. And Bud Abbott...
0:26:40 > 0:26:4211.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Morecambe and Wise, of course.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Eric Morecambe...
0:26:46 > 0:26:48would've scored 43, goodness.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50And Ernie Wise...
0:26:51 > 0:26:52..would've scored 36.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Now, playing Jeeves and Wooster there
0:26:54 > 0:26:56is Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry. Hugh Laurie...
0:26:58 > 0:27:00..32, and Stephen Fry...
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- ..28.- So unrecognisable, I think. Isn't he, there?
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07And another brilliant double act here,
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Lorna Watson and Ingrid Oliver.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Ingrid Oliver perhaps even more famous for her roles in Doctor Who.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Lorna Watson...
0:27:15 > 0:27:17pointless answer, very well done if you said that.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18Ingrid Oliver...
0:27:18 > 0:27:21also a pointless answer, so very well played.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24So, at the end of our second round,
0:27:24 > 0:27:27the pair we say goodbye to with their high score of 129,
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Dave and Daisy, I'm afraid it is you.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31This is the end of the Dave and Daisy line.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33It's been lovely having you with us, though,
0:27:33 > 0:27:35thank you so much for playing. Dave and Daisy.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Thank you.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Congratulations, Steffi and Ruth, Stephen and Daniela,
0:27:47 > 0:27:50you are now one step closer to the final
0:27:50 > 0:27:52and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:27:52 > 0:27:53which currently stands at...
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Well, this is lovely for lots of reasons.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01I mean, mainly cos we've got to the head-to-head,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03it means you can start playing as a team,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05you can chat before giving your answers,
0:28:05 > 0:28:06and the first pair to win two questions
0:28:06 > 0:28:09will be playing for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16Here's your first question,
0:28:16 > 0:28:18and it concerns...
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- Richard.- Yeah, we're going to show you five pictures now
0:28:24 > 0:28:26of people who have been a mayor of a world city.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28You just have to tell us who these people are, please.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Thank you very much indeed. Let's reveal our five mayors,
0:28:31 > 0:28:33and here they are. We've got...
0:29:00 > 0:29:04There we are, five mayors of world cities.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Steffi and Ruth, you're our low scorers, so you go first.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Feel free to confer.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12THEY WHISPER
0:29:14 > 0:29:17OK, we're going to guess A,
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Giuliani.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21A, Giuliani.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25- Yes.- OK, "Giuliani," say Steffi and Ruth.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Now, Stephen and Daniela, do you want to talk through the board?
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Well, E is Clint Eastwood.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37- Do you know any?- No.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40I'd say B is one of the Klitschko brothers,
0:29:40 > 0:29:42and I think it's Vitali Klitschko.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47So, it's Vitali Klitschko from Stephen and Daniela
0:29:47 > 0:29:50versus Giuliani from Steffi and Ruth.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53In the order they were given, Steffi and Ruth said, "Giuliani."
0:29:53 > 0:29:54Let's see if that's right for A.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00No, I'm afraid not Giuliani.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Stephen and Daniela have gone for Vitali Klitschko for B.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10It is Vitali Klitschko.
0:30:15 > 0:30:1711.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19But crucially, it was right, which means you win that point,
0:30:19 > 0:30:22and after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Yeah, very well played, Stephen, terrific answer there,
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Vitali Klitschko.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27- A is...- Bloomberg, is it?
0:30:27 > 0:30:29- No, it's Jerry Springer. - Jerry Springer!
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Yeah, he was mayor of Cincinnati.
0:30:31 > 0:30:32- Crikey.- 52 points for that.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36C is Bernie Sanders.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38- Bernie Sanders. - Mayor of Burlington, Vermont.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Nine points for Bernie. Best answer on the board.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Now, D is Rudy Giuliani,
0:30:44 > 0:30:46the former Mayor of New York City.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49He would have scored you 14.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51And E is, of course, Clint Eastwood.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55Big scorer, though, 81 points for the former Mayor of Carmel.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56Thank you very much indeed.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58So, Stephen and Daniela,
0:30:58 > 0:31:00you get to answer the second question first,
0:31:00 > 0:31:02but, Ruth an Steffi, you have to win this one to stay in the game,
0:31:02 > 0:31:06so good luck. Our second question today is all about...
0:31:08 > 0:31:12Yeah, simply five clues now to facts about Frank Sinatra.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18We have got...
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Now, then, Stephen and Daniela, you will go first.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41What do you think then?
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Well, I think he duetted with Nancy Sinatra.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49- Yeah.- And is it called the Rat Pack?
0:31:49 > 0:31:53Yeah. So, we know two of them, and we are going to say...
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- Rat Pack.- You're going to go with the Rat Pack for...?
0:31:58 > 0:32:01The name given to his group of acting friends.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04There we are. Yeah, "the Rat Pack," say Stephen and Daniela.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Steffi and Ruth, do you want to talk us through that board?
0:32:07 > 0:32:08We'd love to!
0:32:08 > 0:32:10But we can't, really.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15I think the fourth one is Nancy.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19For some reason, Jerry springs to mind as his middle name,
0:32:19 > 0:32:21but it could be completely...
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Maybe we can go with Nancy.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Yeah, let's go with that.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28You're going to go with Nancy as the daughter.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31OK, so we have the Rat Pack, and we have Nancy.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Stephen and Daniela have gone for the Rat Pack,
0:32:33 > 0:32:35let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40It's right.
0:32:41 > 0:32:4360.
0:32:44 > 0:32:4660 for the Rat Pack.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Steffi and Ruth, meanwhile, have gone for Nancy,
0:32:49 > 0:32:50his daughter Nancy Sinatra.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Let's see how many people said that.
0:32:55 > 0:32:56It's right.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Oh, 69 for Nancy!
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Well, very well done indeed, Stephen and Daniela.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06After only two questions, you're straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:33:06 > 0:33:07Yeah, very well played.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09They're the two biggest scorers up there, though.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Shall we take a look at this? Do you know Frank Sinatra's middle name?
0:33:12 > 0:33:14I have...
0:33:14 > 0:33:16He's Francis Albert.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18- Oh, I didn't know that. - Albert is the answer there,
0:33:18 > 0:33:20would have scored eight points.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21The signature song?
0:33:21 > 0:33:23- My Way.- It's My Way.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26I was trying to make Comme D'Habitude fit into that.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- Hmm. Kind of doesn't, right? - No.- 28 points for that.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31And the nickname... It's quite hard, this.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33They were just called Bobby soxers.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35So you know the name, but that's where it comes from -
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Sinatra's teenage screaming fans.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39- Very good indeed.- Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:33:41 > 0:33:43I'm so sorry, Steffi and Ruth, our low-scoring pair.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45We've had dazzling answers from you
0:33:45 > 0:33:47the whole way through the game today,
0:33:47 > 0:33:50but I'm afraid, when it came to the head-to-head,
0:33:50 > 0:33:52you were up against Stephen and Daniela,
0:33:52 > 0:33:54they just had the chops today, I'm afraid.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57So we say goodbye to you now, but we'll see you again next time,
0:33:57 > 0:34:00and we look forward to that very much indeed. But in the meantime,
0:34:00 > 0:34:01thanks very much. Steffi and Ruth.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07But, for Stephen and Daniela, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Well, congratulations, Stephen and Daniela,
0:34:12 > 0:34:14you have seen off all the competition,
0:34:14 > 0:34:17and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26- Yay!- You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:34:26 > 0:34:30and, at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at...
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Do you know, a pattern seems to be emerging.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37This is not the first time it's happened in recent memory,
0:34:37 > 0:34:40that a couple have gone out at the end of the first round in one show,
0:34:40 > 0:34:43come back, 2-0 in the head-to-head,
0:34:43 > 0:34:45through to the final - and here you are.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47So, what would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Any particular strong suits?
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Sport, you're good at sport, aren't you?
0:34:54 > 0:34:55Yeah, she likes tennis.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57I like tennis.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Coronation Street of yesteryear, maybe.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01Coronation Street of yesteryear!
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Well, let's see. You know what happens -
0:35:03 > 0:35:05four things appear on the board behind me.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Let's hope there's something up there that you like the look of.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Today's selection looks like this.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Oh!
0:35:23 > 0:35:24Well, you're good at poets.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Yeah, I love poetry. And she loves tennis.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30- Tennis.- Oh, no!
0:35:30 > 0:35:34And I also watch quite a few US dramas as well.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37- Oh, deuce! - Hard choice, really.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39We'll go with you, we'll go tennis
0:35:39 > 0:35:41cos I know a little bit of tennis as well.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42- Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Oh, you're going to blame me!
0:35:44 > 0:35:46LAUGHTER
0:35:46 > 0:35:49There's a secret to a happy marriage here.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51So, tennis it is. Tennis it is. Richard.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Yeah, I think this is a good choice.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55If you know anything at all about tennis,
0:35:55 > 0:35:56I think you could be in luck here.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59We're looking for any of the following three things, please.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02We're looking for any male player in the Tennis Hall of Fame,
0:36:02 > 0:36:05since it began in 1955 all the way through to 2015,
0:36:05 > 0:36:07anyone who's been inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10We're looking for anyone who is ended the year as
0:36:10 > 0:36:13either the women or men's world doubles number one, please,
0:36:13 > 0:36:18the ATP or WTA world doubles number one up to 2015.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21We're looking for anyone who has won two or more Grand Slam
0:36:21 > 0:36:22singles titles in a year.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Any man or any woman who has won two or more Grand Slam singles titles
0:36:25 > 0:36:29in a year since the beginning of the Open era in 1968.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32That's French Open, US Open, Australian Open and Wimbledon.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42And those are all up to 2015.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- Very best of luck.- Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46Now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:36:46 > 0:36:48to come up with three answers,
0:36:48 > 0:36:51and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers
0:36:51 > 0:36:53to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Right...
0:37:03 > 0:37:07Not Krajicek, who's the one that...?
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Richard Krajicek.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Yeah, there's Krajicek,
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- there's Goran Ivanisevic.- Yes.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Probably Michael Stich's in it.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Andre Agassi. These are male players.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23Two or more Grand Slams.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Bjorn Borg.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Monica Seles probably did.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- Martina Hingis.- Yes.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32She's doubles as well, isn't she?
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- She is.- But she left her partner.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36The O'Briens have done them.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38- McEnroe?- Wawrinka.- McEnroe...
0:37:38 > 0:37:39Who was McEnroe's partner?
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Who's the one that I used to really like from...?
0:37:46 > 0:37:47Not...
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Ten seconds left.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Gregeski...
0:37:54 > 0:37:58No, I'm thinking of Rusedski.
0:37:58 > 0:37:59Greg Rusedski.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01That, I'm afraid, is your time up.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Which ones are you going to go for?
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- Michael Stich we'll do. - Michael Stich.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Richard Krajicek.
0:38:08 > 0:38:09Richard Krajicek.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12- Martina?- Yeah, Martina Hingis.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Or...
0:38:15 > 0:38:16I think Seles might be better.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- All right, all right.- Monica Seles.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- Monica Seles.- Of those three...
0:38:21 > 0:38:22For the two or more Grand Slams.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25OK, so Michael Stich and Richard Krajicek
0:38:25 > 0:38:27for the Tennis Hall of Fame,
0:38:27 > 0:38:30and Monica Seles for the two or more Grand Slams.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- Michael Stich. - Michael Stich goes last.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:38 > 0:38:40- Monica Seles.- Monica Seles.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43OK, and Richard Krajicek goes in the middle.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then,
0:38:46 > 0:38:47and here they are.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49We have got Monica Seles,
0:38:49 > 0:38:51we've got Richard Krajicek,
0:38:51 > 0:38:52and we've got Michael Stich.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Very, very best of luck. Three good answers on the board there.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58If one of these turns out to be pointless and wins you that jackpot,
0:38:58 > 0:39:00you would walk away with £2,000.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02What would you like to do with that?
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Stephen, you first.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- Well... - LAUGHTER
0:39:07 > 0:39:08we've been to Malta,
0:39:08 > 0:39:10so we'd like to go there again.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Very nice.
0:39:12 > 0:39:13And...
0:39:13 > 0:39:15I'd like to go back to Ireland.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17I once cycled from Dublin to Sligo,
0:39:17 > 0:39:20and I'd like to cycle from Sligo to Dublin.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22What, cos it's downhill that way?
0:39:22 > 0:39:25- LAUGHTER - Yeah!
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Very good. OK, well, let's hope. Fingers crossed.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Let's hope one of these answers works out pointless
0:39:29 > 0:39:32and will win that jackpot for you. Best of luck.
0:39:32 > 0:39:33Your first answer was Monica Seles.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35In this case, we were looking for
0:39:35 > 0:39:37two or more Grand Slam singles titles in one year.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40If Monica Seles is pointless...
0:39:40 > 0:39:41you will leave here with £2,000.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Let's see how many of our 100 people said, "Monica Seles."
0:39:48 > 0:39:50It's right.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55Monica Seles now takes us down through the 30s, through the 20s,
0:39:55 > 0:39:57we're into the teens.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Into single figures with Monica Seles,
0:39:59 > 0:40:00still going down...
0:40:00 > 0:40:01AUDIENCE: Oh!
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Wow, and that was just your first answer!
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Monica Seles taking us down to 1 point there.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15Irritatingly, only pointless answers count in this last round,
0:40:15 > 0:40:17but that's a brilliant answer.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18Lovely low score there.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20OK, your next answer.
0:40:20 > 0:40:21Richard Krajicek.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23In this case, we were looking for any male player
0:40:23 > 0:40:25in the Tennis Hall of Fame.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29Again, if Richard Krajicek is pointless, you will win £2,000.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Let's see how many of our 100 people said, "Richard Krajicek."
0:40:35 > 0:40:36- Oh!- Oh!
0:40:38 > 0:40:39Not in the Hall of Fame.
0:40:41 > 0:40:42There's a surprise.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Well, that means we move on to your third and final answer,
0:40:45 > 0:40:47which is Michael Stich.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50This is the one you thought was your best shot at a pointless answer,
0:40:50 > 0:40:52and again, we're looking for any male tennis player
0:40:52 > 0:40:53in the Hall of Fame.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56This has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £2,000.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Let's see how many of our 100 people said, "Michael Stich."
0:41:02 > 0:41:03- Oh, no!- Oh!
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Oh, I'm sorry.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Oh, brilliant first answer.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15It was, yeah.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16- Gutted.- I'm sorry about that.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Well, I'm afraid you didn't manage to find
0:41:19 > 0:41:20that pointless answer you needed,
0:41:20 > 0:41:22so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,000,
0:41:22 > 0:41:24which rolls over onto the next show.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26But it's been wonderful having you with us,
0:41:26 > 0:41:27and you've played so well today.
0:41:27 > 0:41:302-0 in the head-to-head, fantastic performance there.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32So very well done, and you get a Pointless trophy each
0:41:32 > 0:41:34to take home with you, so there you are.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37But thank you so much, Stephen and Daniela, wonderful contestants.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Yeah, unlucky. There's going to be lots of answers here you know.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46It's very tough in those 60 seconds, I do know that.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Martina Hingis would have scored you one point as well
0:41:48 > 0:41:51for the two Grand Slams. You were thinking of going for doubles,
0:41:51 > 0:41:52she was a pointless answer for that.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58We'll start with the male tennis players in the Hall of Fame.
0:42:03 > 0:42:04All sorts of other answers here,
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Guillermo Vilas, Gustavo Kuerten, Bunny Austin.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10Michael Chang is a pointless answer, Roy Emerson is a pointless answer.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Doubles specialists Mark Woodforde and Todd Woodbridge
0:42:12 > 0:42:14both pointless answers for the Tennis Hall of Fame,
0:42:14 > 0:42:16and they're both also pointless answers
0:42:16 > 0:42:19in the next category, the doubles end-of-year world number ones.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Max Mirnyi, the Beast of Belarus,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27who won loads of titles with Jonas Bjorkman and Daniel Nesta,
0:42:27 > 0:42:28both of whom were pointless as well.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Pam Shriver a pointless answer.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Anders Jarryd, Frew McMillan,
0:42:32 > 0:42:33Helena Sukova, Jana Novotna,
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Leander Paes, Sam Stosur.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Lots of pointless answers there as well.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41We will finish up on two or more Grand Slam titles in a year.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50You also could have had Amelie Mauresmo,
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Arantxa Sanchez Vicario, Guillermo Vilas again,
0:42:53 > 0:42:54and Jennifer Capriati.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56So, all of those are pointless answers.
0:42:56 > 0:42:57Very well done if you said any of those.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00And it's unlucky, I suspect if you'd had 80 seconds,
0:43:00 > 0:43:02you probably would have nailed it.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06And thank you so much, Stephen and Daniela.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08It's been wonderful having you with us.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10I'm so sorry you didn't win our jackpot today, sadly,
0:43:10 > 0:43:13that means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:43:13 > 0:43:14when we'll be playing for £3,000.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
