0:00:17 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:28the show that makes big winners out of the lowest scorers. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Hello, I'm Alick, I'm from Burnley,
0:00:36 > 0:00:39and this is my friend, Phillip, from Colchester.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Couple number two.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Hi, I'm Huub, this is my wife, Grace, and we're from London.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Couple number three.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47I'm Gene from Shrewsbury, and this is my housemate, Chris, from Surrey.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49And finally, couple number four.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54I'm Ruth from Leeds, this is Steffi from Oxford and we're ex-colleagues, now friends.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56And these are today's contestants.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57APPLAUSE
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Thanks very much, I want to give you a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Great to have you here. We will get to chat throughout the show as it goes along,
0:01:03 > 0:01:05so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09He is fighting a war on ignorance on orders from his commanding officer,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12General Knowledge, it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- Good afternoon. Good afternoon to you, sir.- Good afternoon.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- How are you?- I'm very well.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Now, a couple of Pointless firsts, really. Well, not a first.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25I think biggest hair ever, we have to say, for Phillip.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26It must be close, right?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Yeah.- Our first-ever Huub playing.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- Our first-ever Huub.- Which is great, hopefully not our last.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36And Steffi and Ruth on podium four, our only returners, did very well last time, didn't they?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- Got through to the head-to-head. - Head-to-head. Yeah.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Against Stephen and Daniela. So they are going to be tough to beat,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43I would say, for our three new pairs.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44That's a good first podium, isn't it?
0:01:44 > 0:01:48- It's pretty good. It makes a statement.- Yeah.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Fabulous. Anyway, thank you very much indeed.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Now, Stephen and Daniela didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:01:54 > 0:01:58so we add another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off at £3,000.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00There it is. APPLAUSE
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04APPLAUSE
0:02:08 > 0:02:12So, as ever, there's just one thing you have to burden yourselves with and that is this knowledge.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15The pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:15 > 0:02:18will be eliminated, so just keep your scores nice and low and you will be fine.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category today is...
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Can you decide in your pairs who is going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30And whoever is going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- Richard.- Simply, on each board we going to ask you
0:02:42 > 0:02:46seven different questions, the answers to all of them begin with the letter S.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Seven on the first board, seven on the second,
0:02:48 > 0:02:5014 in all to have a go at at home, very best of luck.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Thanks very much indeed. Here is our first board of sporting conundra.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Starting with...
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I'm going to read those all again.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- There we go. Alick, welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Great to have you here from Burnley. - From Burnley.- What do you do, Alick?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I'm a student at Warwick University, just going into my Masters year now.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Wow, so you graduated...
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- Yeah, graduated.- Last, the end of last year?- Yes.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09And off you go into your masters. What are you studying?
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Writing, I'm going to study.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13I did study previously English literature and creative writing.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14That's fun, though, isn't it?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- It is, I love it.- And you loved the first part of your course,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19and now you're specialising in writing?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- That's the plan.- Creative writing. - Specialising might be
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- an optimistic word, but you know. - Focusing.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Focusing, yeah, yeah. - Focusing on. That's fantastic.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Now, sport. Alick, how are we feeling about this?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Yeah, yeah, there's a few there that I think I could have a stab at.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36But I think I'm going to go for the Crucible Theatre holds snooker
0:04:36 > 0:04:40tournaments in this English city, which I believe is Sheffield.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Sheffield, says Alick.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Let's see how many of our 100 people said Sheffield.
0:04:51 > 0:04:5249.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Not bad, not bad. The bottom half of the column, there, Alick.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Good start to the round.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Wonderful, Sheffield. Great city. Great tournament as well.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- I would like to read something that Alick wrote, would you not?- I would.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- I think it would be interesting. - I think it would be.- Yeah.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I think it would. Shall I ask what kind of things he writes?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- No, no.- Maybe if he comes back next show.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13You can ask him if you want, why don't you ask?
0:05:13 > 0:05:14- Why don't you ask him?- I'll ask him.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- You're allowed to ask me.- Alick, what kind of things do you write?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Um, I used to write a lot of prose, fiction,
0:05:19 > 0:05:22but I've been trying to get into the hybrid form recently,
0:05:22 > 0:05:24so mixing prose and poetry.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Mainly poetry, I suppose, at the moment,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29with little titbits of prose in there.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30OK, I take it back.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32LAUGHTER
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Sounds fascinating.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Now, Grace, welcome to Pointless.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Great to have you here. Now, Grace, what do you do?
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- I'm a town planner.- Which towns are you planning right now?
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Mainly London at the moment.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46OK, which districts, which boroughs?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I do most of them. So, Camden, Westminster.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Oh, that's good.- Yep.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55So, hang on, do you sit on a council of planners, do you?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57No, I work for developers.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00So if a developer wants to build something, then I help them.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02OK, very good. What are your interests, Grace?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06I like cooking, baking,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09I've also got a one-year-old so he's a full-time hobby as well.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Very good indeed. Now, Grace,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14what would you like to go for on our board here of sporting Ss?
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Um...
0:06:19 > 0:06:22I think I know one but I think it's a bit risky so I'm just going to go
0:06:22 > 0:06:25for the Russian city, and I think it's Sochi.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Sochi, says Grace.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Let's see if that is right and let's see
0:06:28 > 0:06:30how many of our 100 people said Sochi.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Sochi is right.
0:06:38 > 0:06:4027 for Sochi, well done.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42APPLAUSE
0:06:44 > 0:06:48It cost 51 billion, the Sochi Winter Olympics.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- Really?- That's amazing. It's only some skiing.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Was that the... Didn't they have to pump
0:06:52 > 0:06:54up lots of snow, because there wasn't enough snow?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57I guess. But also if you go skiing, I've never been skiing,
0:06:57 > 0:07:00and I know that drinks are expensive and stuff, aren't they,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- so maybe it all, maybe it adds up. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Now, Chris. Welcome to Pointless.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08All these new contestants. Now, Chris. What do you do?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10I'm a student at the University of Birmingham.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12And what year are you in?
0:07:12 > 0:07:13I'm just going into my third year now.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Your third and final year?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Yeah, hopefully I'll do a bit more uni,
0:07:17 > 0:07:20because I don't really want a job just yet, but.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Stay cocooned in university life.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- Absolutely.- So what are you studying?
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Economics and politics.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26OK, very good indeed.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Do you think you will tend economically or politically when you come out?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Probably more politically, at the moment.- OK.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Very good indeed. Now, Chris,
0:07:34 > 0:07:37what would you like to go for on our board of sporting Ss?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41I think the women's 1976 French Open winner who became the host of
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Question Of Sport is Sue Barker.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Sue Barker says Chris,
0:07:45 > 0:07:46let's see if that's right and
0:07:46 > 0:07:49let's see how many of our 100 people said Sue Barker.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55It's right. 49 is our high, 27 is our low...
0:07:55 > 0:07:5755 for Sue Barker.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59APPLAUSE
0:08:00 > 0:08:01I love Sue Barker.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02- Of course you do.- As you know,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I have very much got her lined up as your replacement.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06I know.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Thanks very much, Richard. Steffi, welcome back to Pointless,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14good to have you here. Remind us what you do, Steffi.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I'm an analyst in the medical devices industry.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21The medical devices, that's just fun right there, isn't it?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Dangerous area.- What are your interests, Steffi?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28I like reading, going on treks, walking.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Boring stuff.- I like boring stuff.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Boring stuff is good.- Yes.- Nothing wrong with boring stuff.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Steffi, are you pleased with what you've got left on the board here?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Are there some things there you can go for?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Well, I knew one which has gone,
0:08:41 > 0:08:45but I think I'm going to try the six-letter word and say sprint.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Sprint, says Steffi,
0:08:46 > 0:08:48let's see if Sprint is right,
0:08:48 > 0:08:50let's see how many of our 100 people got sprint.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54It's right.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I didn't even have time to tell you that 55 was our high score,
0:08:58 > 0:09:00which is just as well, because it no longer is.
0:09:00 > 0:09:0288 is now our high score.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03That's a big score, isn't it?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05We shall fill in the rest of this board, shall we?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- The goalkeeper?- Seaman.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Correct. Would have scored you 65 points.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13The Toby Maguire film, did you see this?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- A good film, actually.- Seabiscuit.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Seabiscuit, yeah. That would have scored you 25.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19And this last one, Sam Snead, and that would have
0:09:19 > 0:09:22scored you six points. Very well done if you said that.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- Best answer up there.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29The best score of that pass was yours, very well done, Grace, 27.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Lovely low score, there.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Grace and Huub looking good at this point,
0:09:33 > 0:09:37then 49 is where we find Alick and Phillip. 55, Chris and Jeevan.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Not too bad, but Steffi and Ruth, there you are on 88.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42We need a low score from you, Ruth.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Head-to-head last time, it can't be a round one exit this time, Ruth.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48That's in your hands, good luck. We're going to
0:09:48 > 0:09:49come back down the line,
0:09:49 > 0:09:51can the second players please, step up to the podium?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board and here they are.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59We have got...
0:10:22 > 0:10:24I'll read those all again.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Ruth. Welcome back to Pointless.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- Thank you.- So what do you do, Ruth?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52I'm a product manager for a microbiology company.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56I see, so when you were working with Steffi you were very much in the
0:10:56 > 0:10:59medical instruments department, and now you've gone...
0:10:59 > 0:11:01You've branched very slightly.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Yeah, it's like a sidestep.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04I see. I see.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Yes.- So, very, very sophisticated lab equipment.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- Yes.- Like those sort of droppers that can put drops into test tubes,
0:11:11 > 0:11:12- 25 a time.- Yes.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Oooh!
0:11:14 > 0:11:16That's not my range, but, yes, we do have those.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- They're cool. OK, there we are. You carry those.- Yes.- Very impressive.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Ruth, what are your interests?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Travelling is a big interest for me, cooking...
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Well, Leeds. You have all the way up to Leeds from London, that is...
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Well, a bit further afield than that.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33I like to travel in Southeast Asia is my favourite place at the moment.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Everywhere, really.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Very good indeed.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Now, you are the high scorers, Ruth, we need a low score from you.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Is that board going to yield a sufficiently low score for you, I wonder?
0:11:42 > 0:11:46There's only two I can do, the Scottish one,
0:11:46 > 0:11:49my mum will kill me because she's Scottish and I'm sure she would be
0:11:49 > 0:11:52screaming this at the TV, but I can't do it.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54So, I'm going to go for the top one,
0:11:54 > 0:11:57the country whose international rugby team is the Springboks,
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I think that's South Africa.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02South Africa says Ruth, no red line for you as you are the high scorers.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Let's see how many of our 100 people said South Africa.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08It's right.
0:12:09 > 0:12:1463 for South Africa, taking your total up to 151.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20Yeah, presaging the famous football game in the First World War,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23the second Boer War was once interrupted for a rugby game
0:12:23 > 0:12:25between the Boer Army and the British Army.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27OK. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- Pleasure.- Now, Jeevan.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Welcome, welcome to Pointless.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Good to have you here. What do you do, Jeevan?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37I actually live with Chris. We're at university together in Birmingham,
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- and I study economics.- I see.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42So you meet on the economic side of Chris's curriculum?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Yeah, we share some lectures together.- OK.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45When we both turn up, of course.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Very good. Now, Jeevan, what are
0:12:47 > 0:12:49your interests when economics is done?
0:12:49 > 0:12:54So I'm really interested in policy, in politics, and how that's done.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Sounds like you should be on Chris's course.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Or has Chris enthused you?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I think we both share an interest in politics.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I was much more interested in the math side of economics
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- and that's why I took it.- I see, very good indeed.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Now, Jeevan, you're on 55, which means
0:13:07 > 0:13:1095 or less keeps you in the game.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Not too tall an order, I would hope, Jeevan.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15How is that board looking to you?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17It's not looking too bad.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18There's one that's really risky,
0:13:18 > 0:13:22I was tempted to take it up until just now.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23I'm thinking, should I play it safe?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25You say 95, was it?
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Yes.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28OK.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30I'm therefore tempted to play safe and say...
0:13:32 > 0:13:33..the number of events that make up
0:13:33 > 0:13:35a heptathlon, so I'm going to say seven.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Seven, seven says Jeevan. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39We get a red line, there we are.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Get below that with seven, you are into the next round.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43How many people said seven?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48It's right and you are through.
0:13:50 > 0:13:5463, which takes your total up to 118.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Yeah, that was a true economist's answer, there.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Did exactly the right thing.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Yeah, heptathlon.- Thank you very much, Richard.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Thank you. Now, Huub.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Huub, you're Dutch, I'm going to guess that?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- Yes. That is, yes, that's correct. - It's true!
0:14:08 > 0:14:10But, Huub, tell us what you do.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I'm a researcher for a publishing company.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14What sort of publishing company is it?
0:14:14 > 0:14:19We publish regeneration and inward investment magazines for local authorities.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I see, so that's the kind of research you are doing.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Do you head off into the local authorities
0:14:24 > 0:14:26to do that research or do you do it from a desk in London?
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Both, both, both.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- I conduct surveys.- That's fun.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32I do interviews, all that sort of stuff, yeah.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Very good indeed. And what are your interests, Huub?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Just normal. I like movies, reading, video games.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Very good indeed. Now, good news, Huub,
0:14:39 > 0:14:43you are through to the next round. Doesn't matter what you score.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45But let's have a nice low score from you,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- if you can find one up there. - Um, I think I know a few.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53But I think I'm going to go for the
0:14:53 > 0:14:56projectile hit in badminton which is shuttle.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Shuttle, says Huub.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Shuttle. No red line for you, you're already through.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Let's see what happens when we say shuttle.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07Yeah.
0:15:08 > 0:15:1069. 69,
0:15:10 > 0:15:14which takes your total up to 96.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Yeah, shuttle. Perfectly acceptable shortform for shuttlecock.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Phillip, welcome to Pointless.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Good to have you here.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Tell us what you do.- I'm doing a masters
0:15:23 > 0:15:26at Warwick Business School, in management.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28So, you and Alick were in the same year?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30We were indeed. Both did English literature.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33The books slowly killed me, but he seems to thrive off it.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35I see. So you're putting the books behind you
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- and striding off to business management.- Exactly, yeah.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Altogether more fulfilling.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42So, the next year, how is that going to be, your masters?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Are you involved at all in tuition? Do you do any of that kind of stuff?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- No?- I honestly couldn't tell you.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- He's not. He's not.- It's as much of a surprise for me as anyone else.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52No, you have no idea what to expect?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Tragically little idea. It's actually embarrassing.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56It will be fun, though. And will you be sharing a house?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Yeah, we've got a house sorted.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Oh, but that's nice. You've got a whole year in prospect
0:16:01 > 0:16:02of exciting new discoveries.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04That's great. Now then, Phillip,
0:16:04 > 0:16:06you are already through as well,
0:16:06 > 0:16:08but if you want to fill in all those blanks, you'd be very welcome.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Well, I'd absolutely love to.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12I mean, the three I knew have gone.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15The S in US car racing, I'd guess for speed,
0:16:15 > 0:16:17but that's an absolute punt.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Each of the three upright pieces of wood which form a wicket,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23sticks seems to...
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I don't know.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26You a cricketer, Phillip?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28No, I'm not.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I'm just so thankful that we are through.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33I'm really struggling. I'll go for speed for the third one down.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35OK. Speed in Nascar. Speed, let's see if that's right.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37No red line, you're already through.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40How many people said speed, if it's right?
0:16:42 > 0:16:43No.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45I'm afraid not speed. Scores you 100 points.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Takes your total up to 149, but you're through anyway.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Yeah, not speed. It's actually... It's the National Association...
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- Stock Car.- ..Stock Car Auto Racing.
0:16:54 > 0:16:55Yeah. So stock is the answer there.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Would have scored you 13.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59It's not sticks, down the bottom.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- Stumps.- Oh!- Yeah.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Rather ironically.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07It would have scored you 58.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10The Scottish 12-aside sport is shinty.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Would have scored 20.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14And the best answer on the board, the Missouri city, is St Louis.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Very well done if you said that. 11 points.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20At the end of our first round,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22the pair heading home with a high score of 151.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Oh, Ruth and Steffi, I'm so sorry.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Far too soon to be sending you home.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Our only returning pair.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Anyway, it's been lovely having you on.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- Thank you so much for playing. - Thank you.- Ruth and Steffi.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33APPLAUSE
0:17:33 > 0:17:36But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43And so we are down to three pairs.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Oh, sailed a little bit close to the wind there in the event,
0:17:50 > 0:17:51Phillip and Alick.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Grace and Huub, very well done indeed.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Grace, our low scorer individually, and Grace and Huub together,
0:17:56 > 0:17:59our lowest combined score. Best of luck to all three pairs for the next round.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Our category for round two today is...
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:06 > 0:18:10who's going to go second? And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15OK. And the question concerns...
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- Richard.- Yeah, we're going to show you
0:18:21 > 0:18:2316 pictures now of people associated with
0:18:23 > 0:18:25the world of fashion. Can you identify one of these, please?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Thank you very much indeed.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29So, we are going to put this image up, 16 pictures,
0:18:29 > 0:18:31they will stay up for the whole round.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33We won't be changing them halfway through the round.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35You just have to shout out any name that you see on that board.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Let's see who is up there.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41OK. There we are.
0:18:41 > 0:18:4416 people from the world of fashion.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Phillip, you are to go first.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50I mean, you can tell just by looking at me
0:18:50 > 0:18:53this isn't going to be my best round.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55I think I can pick out...
0:18:57 > 0:18:59In fairness, I think there's four there I know.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Just trying to think...
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I'm going to go for, um...
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Karl Lagerfeld. - Karl Lagerfeld, says Phillip.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Let's see how many of our 100 people said Karl Lagerfeld.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15It's right.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20It's a good score as well.
0:19:20 > 0:19:2132. Very well done, Phillip.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Good start to the round.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Well played. Yeah, there he is, in the shades, Karl Lagerfeld.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Grace.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Um, I know a few.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41I think I'm going to go for the model Jourdan Dunn.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Jourdan Dunn. Jourdan Dunn, says Grace.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54It's right. Well, 32 is the only score we've got at this point.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55Jourdan Dunn
0:19:55 > 0:19:57surpasses that.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58All the way down to one.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00APPLAUSE
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Grace is at it again.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Another low scoring round.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05One for Jourdan Dunn.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Very well played, Grace. Yeah, model from west London, Jourdan Dunn, one point.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Thank you very much indeed. Now then, Chris,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14who would you like to go for, from our gallery of fashion?
0:20:14 > 0:20:15This is an awful round for me.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Probably the worst category that probably could have come up.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23But I do know a little bit of sport and from my sport knowledge,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I do know that Victoria Beckham is up there.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- There we go.- So I'll go with Victoria Beckham.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31By whatever circuitous route, we have arrived at Victoria Beckham.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Let's see how many of our 100 people said Victoria Beckham.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40It's right. 32 was our high score.
0:20:40 > 0:20:4280 is our new high score there.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44APPLAUSE
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Yeah, well played. I think it was treated as something of a joke
0:20:46 > 0:20:48years ago, when she went into fashion.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50And she's been unbelievably successful. She makes an awful lot
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- more money than her husband now. - Thanks, Richard. We're halfway
0:20:53 > 0:20:55through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57One, Grace. Very well done indeed.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Best score of the pass. Then up to 32 where we find Phillip and Alick.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Then 80 is where we find Chris and Jeevan.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04So, Jeevan, you know what we need.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08A nice low-scoring fashionista from you, please.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Good luck. Could the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:14 > 0:21:15So, then, Jeevan.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Yes, you are quite a long way ahead.
0:21:17 > 0:21:1948 points ahead there.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Yes.- Can you find a nice answer that
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- perhaps might level those scores a bit?- I'll be completely honest,
0:21:26 > 0:21:29I'm an economist and I don't know anything about fashion.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32And actually, Victoria Beckham was the one I was going to go for,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34so this is actually really, really worrying.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37I genuinely have no idea.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I'm going to... This is... I'm going to have to make up a name because I
0:21:42 > 0:21:43really don't know. This is so embarrassing.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45I'm going to go for John Smith.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49John Smith, says Jeevan.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52John Smith. No red line for you as you are high scorers.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Let's see what happens when we say John Smith.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Nope, I'm afraid not John Smith.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 180.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05Not John Smith, I'm afraid.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Although his couture collection this year is to die for.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- It is.- Have you seen it?
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- It is.- He knows his stuff.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- He does.- But his picture's not up here
0:22:14 > 0:22:15because he is famously reclusive.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Yeah. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19- Now, Huub.- Yeah.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24I think I recognise two faces on the board,
0:22:24 > 0:22:28although I wouldn't bet my savings on being correct,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30but I think I recognise Kate Moss on there.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Kate Moss, says Huub.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34No red line, you are already through.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36How many of our 100 people said Kate Moss?
0:22:39 > 0:22:40It's right.
0:22:41 > 0:22:4460, Kate Moss. Takes your total up to 61.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Well played, Huub. Yeah, bottom left there, Kate Moss.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50The Absolutely Fabulous movie
0:22:50 > 0:22:53revolves around Kate Moss one way or another.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Now then, Alick, also through to the next round.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02But I think you will know a few people on this board.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- You think wrong.- Really?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06I have...
0:23:06 > 0:23:07I don't know any of them.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I recognise maybe a couple of faces and I've been
0:23:09 > 0:23:12struggling to get an old Burnley player, Jean-Louis Valois,
0:23:12 > 0:23:13out of my head for a while.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18But I think one of them may be Jean-Paul Gaultier.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Jean-Paul Gaultier.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Jean-Paul Gaultier, says Alick.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25No red line, you are already through.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Let's see if Jean-Paul Gaultier is up there.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Bad luck, Alick. That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 132.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Yeah, although Jean-Louis Valois is up there, that's the irony.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42No, I might test you on some of these because these...
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- Yeah, I think I know... I know... - Top left?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- Gandy.- Eight points for David Gandy.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- Next to him?- Vivienne Westwood. - Vivienne Westwood.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51- She's a big scorer.- Would have scored you 53.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Next to Vivienne?- Stella McCartney. - Stella McCartney, 29 points.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Now, do you know this next one?
0:23:56 > 0:23:57I'm going to take a punt on
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Coco Chanel because she's that vintage and I
0:24:00 > 0:24:01think she looked slightly like that.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04You are absolutely right. It is Coco Chanel.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06She would have scored you ten points.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Now, the next row?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10It's Dolce or Gabbana.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Oh, so close. It's Gianni Versace.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Oh, right. OK. LAUGHTER
0:24:14 > 0:24:15Would have scored you five points.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- Macaulay Culkin, obviously.- It's not Macaulay Culkin.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20It's not even his brother, Kieran Culkin.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Looks even more like him. It's JW Anderson,
0:24:22 > 0:24:24the Northern Irish designer.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Terrific designer. It's a Pointless answer.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Well done if you said that. Next to him?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Yves Saint Laurent.- Yves Saint Laurent. Would have scored you nine.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Next down? Kendall Jenner.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34One of the Kardashian clan.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Would have scored you eight. Next to Victoria Beckham?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- That is Ralph Lauren. - Is Ralph Lauren.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Yeah. He would have scored you eight.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Bottom row?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- Easier than you think.- It's...
0:24:47 > 0:24:48- Twiggy.- Of course it is.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- Of course it is Twiggy.- Would have scored you...- I mean, obviously,
0:24:51 > 0:24:52I know it's not Emma Bunton, but...
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- You know what I mean?- 50 for that.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56And very unlucky with your John Smith answer.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- John Smith!- Because that is... - Paul Smith.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Paul Smith, yeah.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Would have scored you two.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02And the last one on the board,
0:25:02 > 0:25:04is another pointless answer, probably the
0:25:04 > 0:25:06most famous fashion photographer.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Um, um....
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Mario Testino.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- Mario, oh, yes.- And he would have scored you nothing at all.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Very well played if you said that.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Very good indeed. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Well, we are at the end of our second round,
0:25:17 > 0:25:19and the pair we have to say goodbye to,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22with their high score of 180 and their low fashion knowledge,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25but I'm sure, on the strength of what we've seen so far, you will go a long way next time,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28barring any fashion questions, but we will say goodbye for now.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Look forward to seeing you next time, Jeevan and Chris.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32APPLAUSE
0:25:32 > 0:25:35But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Congratulations, Grace and Huub, Phillip and Alick. You are now
0:25:43 > 0:25:47one step closer to the final and a chance to play for that jackpot,
0:25:47 > 0:25:48which currently stands at £3,000.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54And here we are in the head-to-head, which means you're allowed to confer
0:25:54 > 0:25:55before you give your answers.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03APPLAUSE
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Here is your first question. And it concerns...
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- Richard.- Yeah, going to give you five clues now
0:26:15 > 0:26:17to planets of our solar system.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19- Can you tell us what they are, please?- Thanks very much indeed.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22OK, let's reveal our five clues. And here they are...
0:26:42 > 0:26:44I'll read those all again.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05There we are. Grace and Huub, you are our low scorers,
0:27:05 > 0:27:06so you will go first.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08WHISPERED CONFERRING
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Um, we are going to go for the fourth one,
0:27:21 > 0:27:25the home planet of the invaders, which is Mars.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Mars, say Grace and Huub.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Mars. Now, Phillip and Alick, do you want to talk us through that board?
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Yeah. We think the first one is Venus.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37We believe the second one is Jupiter.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39The third one, Mercury.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Alick knew that one, I had no idea.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45The fifth one, I feel like it's Saturn, but it's, yeah,
0:27:45 > 0:27:46up in the air.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- Third one, we're sure on that? - Yeah. Let's do
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- it.- We're sticking it. We're doing it. Mercury.- Mercury.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53OK. So, we have Mars and we have Mercury.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Grace and Huub went for Mars.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Mars.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04There we are. The home planet of the invaders.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Mars. 61.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08APPLAUSE
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Meanwhile, Phillip and Alick have gone for Mercury, the planet that
0:28:12 > 0:28:15shares its name with the chemical element with the symbol Hg.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21It's right.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24And it wins you the point.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26There we are. 49 for Mercury.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Very well done indeed, Phillip and Alick.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31You've nicked it. After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Yeah, very well played. Women originated on this planet.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Of course, we all originate on the same planet, but it's Venus.
0:28:37 > 0:28:3881 points for that.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41The largest planet in the solar system, you're quite right,
0:28:41 > 0:28:43was Jupiter, would have won you the point as well,
0:28:43 > 0:28:44would have scored you 47.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46And the planet surrounded by rings is Saturn,
0:28:46 > 0:28:49of course and that would have scored you 67.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Thank you very much, Richard. Well, we move on to our second question.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Now, Grace and Huub, you have to win this question to stay in the game,
0:28:55 > 0:28:57but Phillip and Alick get first dibs on the board,
0:28:57 > 0:28:59so good luck with that, Grace and Huub.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Our second question today is all about...
0:29:05 > 0:29:08- Richard.- We are about to show you five pictures
0:29:08 > 0:29:10of characters in films to do with banking or finance.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Can you tell us the name of the
0:29:12 > 0:29:14films that these are taken from, please?
0:29:14 > 0:29:15Thanks very much indeed.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Let's reveal our five bankers, and here they are.
0:29:19 > 0:29:20We've got...
0:29:45 > 0:29:48There we are, five bankers on film.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Phillip and Alick, you will go first.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54WHISPERED CONFERRING
0:30:04 > 0:30:07We're going to go for A, The Wolf Of Wall Street.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10OK, A, Wolf Of Wall Street, say Phillip and Alick.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Now, Grace and Huub,
0:30:12 > 0:30:14do you want to talk us through the rest of those films?
0:30:17 > 0:30:21Er, we only know one other, and it's C, and we think it's Working Girl.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24OK, you're going to say Working Girl for C,
0:30:24 > 0:30:26so we have Wolf Of Wall Street and we have Working Girl.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Phillip and Alick said Wolf Of Wall Street for A.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36It is The Wolf Of Wall Street and that...
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Not bad. 40 for The Wolf Of Wall Street.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42APPLAUSE
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Grace and Huub, meanwhile, have gone for Working Girl, for C.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57It's right. Is it going to beat 40?
0:30:57 > 0:30:58Yes, it is, look at that.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59Down it goes.
0:30:59 > 0:31:00Good score, to 19.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Very well done, Grace and Huub, back in the game.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:05 > 0:31:06APPLAUSE
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Well played, Grace and Huub.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10- B?- Rogue Trader.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Rogue Trader, yeah. It's Ewan McGregor there
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- as Nick Leeson. Remember him? - Mmm.- Eight points for that.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18D is the best answer on the board.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20The Big Short? It's The Big Short, yeah.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Ryan Reynolds or Gosling, I'm never sure which.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25- Gosling.- Is it?
0:31:25 > 0:31:26Would have scored you three points.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Great book. I wasn't so keen on the film The Big Short,
0:31:29 > 0:31:30but the book is amazing.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33And this last one, got to be one of the ten greatest films of all time.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35You mustn't let Christmas go by without seeing it.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- It's A Wonderful Life. - It's A Wonderful Life, yeah.
0:31:38 > 0:31:39James Stuart there as George Bailey.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41And that would have scored you 13.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- Well done if you said that. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46OK, so here comes your third question. Whoever wins this one
0:31:46 > 0:31:48goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot,
0:31:48 > 0:31:50so best of luck to both pairs.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Our third question today is all about...
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- Richard.- Yeah, we're going to show you the names now
0:31:58 > 0:32:01of five British resort towns, but in the form of anagrams, I'm afraid.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Whoever works out the most obscure answer
0:32:03 > 0:32:05is going through to play for the jackpot.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06- Good luck.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09OK, let's reveal our five anagrams, and here they come.
0:32:09 > 0:32:10We have got...
0:32:18 > 0:32:20I'll read those all again.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Grace and Huub will go first.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31WHISPERED CONFERRING
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Er, I only know one, and it's the fourth one down,
0:32:45 > 0:32:47and I think it's Scarborough.
0:32:47 > 0:32:52Scarborough say Grace and Huub. Scarborough.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Now then, Phillip and Alick.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57That's the one we were going to go for, Scarborough.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00We thought that would be the least popular out of what we knew, anyway.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02We'll go for the one beneath that, Bournemouth.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06OK, Bournemouth. So we have Scarborough and we have Bournemouth.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Now, Grace and Huub said Scarborough.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10Let's see if that's right. Let's see
0:33:10 > 0:33:13how many of our 100 people got that for Rough Cobras.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17It's right.
0:33:20 > 0:33:2241 for Scarborough.
0:33:22 > 0:33:23APPLAUSE
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Not bad, not bad.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28Meanwhile, Phillip and Alick have
0:33:28 > 0:33:30gone for Bournemouth, for Bone Hum Tour.
0:33:30 > 0:33:31Let's see if that's right.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Let's see how many of our 100 people got Bournemouth.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37It's right.
0:33:40 > 0:33:41Ooh, look at that!
0:33:41 > 0:33:42Down it goes to 38.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Very well done indeed.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Bournemouth winning the point for you there and,
0:33:47 > 0:33:49after three questions, Phillip and Alick,
0:33:49 > 0:33:50you are through to the final 2-1.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Yeah, great head-to-head, everybody. Well played. Um, the top one...
0:33:54 > 0:33:56- ..is Margate.- Oh, of course it is Margate!
0:33:56 > 0:33:58That would have scored you 52.
0:33:58 > 0:33:59- Polka Bloc?- Blackpool.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Blackpool. 64.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Now, the best answer by some way was Parent Sty.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06It's in Wales.
0:34:07 > 0:34:08It's Prestatyn.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Exactly. Well done if you said that. Three points. Terrific answer.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Very good. Thank you so much, Richard.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Well, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Grace and Huub. You met your match in Phillip and Alick there,
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- playing as a team.- I'm sorry!
0:34:22 > 0:34:23You'll be back again next time though,
0:34:23 > 0:34:25and I'm sure on the strength of today's performance
0:34:25 > 0:34:28you'll do just as well, if not maybe one click better.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30But thank you so much for playing, Grace and Huub.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32APPLAUSE
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Right, for Phillip and Alick, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38APPLAUSE
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Congratulations, Phillip and Alick.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43You've seen off all the competition
0:34:43 > 0:34:45and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £3,000.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58There it is.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00APPLAUSE
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Well, you see, I would say this is
0:35:03 > 0:35:05the strength of your teamwork, you see,
0:35:05 > 0:35:08because we have, as I said before we've had a couple of moments
0:35:08 > 0:35:10where one of you has dropped the ball, but the other one's
0:35:10 > 0:35:11always been there to help them out.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Great teamwork in that head-to-head round,
0:35:13 > 0:35:17and you beat Grace and Huub, who I thought were unstoppable.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20The only cloud to that silver lining is we are not going to see what you
0:35:20 > 0:35:21had lined up to wear for the next show.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23It was jazzy. It was jazzy.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25I can believe that!
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Anyway, listen, you get to choose your category
0:35:27 > 0:35:30from the four that will appear on the board behind me.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Anything at this stage you'd love to see up there?
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Er, in terms of...
0:35:35 > 0:35:36Sports, maybe football.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Current affairs feel like we've got covered, really.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Yeah. See, I know very little
0:35:40 > 0:35:43about sports, but Alick would smash it, so I'm hoping football.
0:35:43 > 0:35:44OK, very good. Best of luck.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Our four choices today are...
0:35:55 > 0:35:58It's like a dream come true, isn't it? That's just...
0:35:58 > 0:35:59LAUGHTER
0:36:01 > 0:36:03- Wow!- Phil knows the Bible.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07Phil's got a solid handle of the Bible, I feel, or so he tells me.
0:36:07 > 0:36:08I don't know, mate. Let's go for the Bible.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12We'll go for the Bible. Oh, mate, it's the sensible thing to do.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- Yeah. OK. Yeah, yeah.- Alick doesn't sound convinced,
0:36:16 > 0:36:18but, yes, you're going to go for the Bible.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- The Bible it is.- Yeah, the Bible.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21Very best of luck. An awful lot of people
0:36:21 > 0:36:24just lost a sweepstake at home there as to what you were going for,
0:36:24 > 0:36:26but three very different questions here.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29A couple of them, I think, might, if you know your stuff,
0:36:29 > 0:36:31you might do well on. We'll start with,
0:36:31 > 0:36:33we're looking for any cast member of
0:36:33 > 0:36:35the 1977 TV series Jesus Of Nazareth,
0:36:35 > 0:36:38according to IMDB. I wouldn't worry about that one.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41We are looking for any people mentioned in Matthew chapter one,
0:36:41 > 0:36:44verses one to 17, all the descendants of Joseph, essentially,
0:36:44 > 0:36:47the one that so-and-so begat so-and-so,
0:36:47 > 0:36:51any names mentioned in that, please, apart from Joseph and Jesus.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Or we are looking for any words of six or more letters
0:36:53 > 0:36:55in Exodus chapter 20.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57That's the chapter that includes the Ten Commandments.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59So, the cast of Jesus of Nazareth,
0:36:59 > 0:37:01any people mentioned in the
0:37:01 > 0:37:03so-and-so begat so-and-so section of
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Matthew chapter one, or any words of
0:37:05 > 0:37:06six or more letters
0:37:06 > 0:37:07in Exodus chapter 20.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Very, very best of luck.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Thank you very much indeed.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:37:13 > 0:37:16to come up with three answers, and all you need to earn that jackpot
0:37:16 > 0:37:17of £3,000 is for just one of those
0:37:17 > 0:37:19answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- Yes, yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the board.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:24 > 0:37:25- Speak to me.- Right, basically, the top one
0:37:25 > 0:37:27- seems like some sort of cruel joke. - Yeah.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29So we're going to have to blank that out.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32- Right, people mentioned in Matthew chapter one.- OK.- Ezekiel.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34- Ezekiel.- It's a biblical name. It is a biblical name.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Who knows?
0:37:36 > 0:37:38Words of six or more letters in Exodus chapter 20,
0:37:38 > 0:37:41I feel like there's something about disrespecting your parents.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- Disrespecting, is that one, or parents?- Parents is what I'd say.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- OK, OK.- We're assuming some sort of English translation,
0:37:47 > 0:37:51so I'm thinking parents, Ezekiel and, er...
0:37:53 > 0:37:54- And?- You know, I've had two there.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57You've had two there. Let's... What is Exodus about?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- What not to do.- What not to do.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02So, erm...
0:38:04 > 0:38:06- What not to do. What is a biblical thing not to do?- Dis...
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Disrespecting your parents.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Can we go for parents and disrespecting?
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- It's the Ten Commandments. - Is it the Ten Commandments?
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- Ten seconds left.- I don't think the answer's "commandments".
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Why not? Let's have commandments, Ezekiel...
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- Commandments! - Oh. Say disrespecting, parents,
0:38:22 > 0:38:25do not disrespect, say parents...
0:38:25 > 0:38:26OK, that is your time up.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Let's have your three answers.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Right, so, people mentioned in Matthew chapter one,
0:38:30 > 0:38:32we're going to go Ezekiel.
0:38:32 > 0:38:33Ezekiel, OK.
0:38:33 > 0:38:34Words of six or more letters
0:38:34 > 0:38:37in Exodus chapter 20, we're going to go...
0:38:38 > 0:38:39- Parents...- Parents.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- And...- Disrespect.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44- Disrespect.- Disrespect, OK.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47So we have Ezekiel, we have parents and we have disrespect.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:51 > 0:38:52Ezekiel sounds like...
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Are you sure Ezekiel's in there?
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- No.- OK. Well, not Ezekiel!
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Er, let's have parents.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Parents we'll put last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- Ezekiel, because it's probably not right.- Ezekiel. Disrespect goes
0:39:05 > 0:39:08in the middle. OK, let's put those answers up on the board
0:39:08 > 0:39:10in that order then, and here they are. We have got...
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Well, best of luck.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Three answers on the board there. Let's hope one of these turns out
0:39:18 > 0:39:19to be pointless and wins that jackpot
0:39:19 > 0:39:21for you. What would you do with three grand?
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Nice prize to be taking home.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Phillip, what would you like to do with your share of that if you won?
0:39:26 > 0:39:28I can't say anything particularly exciting.
0:39:28 > 0:39:33Probably put most of it towards my masters fees and then maybe go on a
0:39:33 > 0:39:35little bar crawl with Alick, sample some ales.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Just a nice night out.
0:39:37 > 0:39:38- Sophisticated.- Very nice.
0:39:38 > 0:39:39Alick, how about you?
0:39:39 > 0:39:42We saw a spa on the way to our hotel yesterday,
0:39:42 > 0:39:45so I think we'll go straight there after the show,
0:39:45 > 0:39:47get a massage, calm us down.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51And then maybe I'd like to go to the Amazon at some point and put some
0:39:51 > 0:39:52- money towards that.- Good stuff.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Now then, let's put those answers to the test.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Your first answer was Ezekiel.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59In this case, we were looking for any person
0:39:59 > 0:40:00mentioned in Matthew chapter one.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Let's see if Ezekiel is right.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04If it's pointless, it will win you £3,000.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06How many of our 100 people said Ezekiel?
0:40:10 > 0:40:13I'm afraid not Ezekiel.
0:40:13 > 0:40:14An incorrect answer there. So let's move
0:40:14 > 0:40:16swiftly on to your second answer.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18In this case, we were looking for any word
0:40:18 > 0:40:20of six or more letters in Exodus chapter 20.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22You have gone in this case for disrespect.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Certainly has more than six letters in.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27- I think it's dishonour.- Is it there?
0:40:27 > 0:40:31- Is it?- If it is there and if it is pointless, it will win you £3,000.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33How many of our 100 people said disrespect?
0:40:36 > 0:40:40Bad luck. No disrespect in Exodus chapter 20.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Now, your third and final answer, the one you thought was
0:40:43 > 0:40:45probably your best shot at a pointless answer, is parents.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Again, we are looking for any word of
0:40:47 > 0:40:49six or more letters in Exodus chapter 20.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Let's see how many of our 100 people said parents.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53If it's pointless, it wins you £3,000.
0:40:57 > 0:40:58No, bad luck!
0:40:58 > 0:41:00APPLAUSE
0:41:00 > 0:41:01Bad luck.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05It was a game attempt. But they were pretty tough, those ones.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07They were pretty tough. I'm afraid you didn't manage to
0:41:07 > 0:41:09find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:09 > 0:41:11so you don't win today's jackpot of £3,000.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13That will roll over to the next show.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14But it's been great having you on.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Far too brief, actually, but a shame it's only been one show.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Thank you so much for playing so well, you get a Pointless trophy
0:41:19 > 0:41:21each to take home. Phillip and Alick!
0:41:21 > 0:41:23APPLAUSE
0:41:23 > 0:41:27Yeah, that particular commandment is honour thy father, thy mother,
0:41:27 > 0:41:28so all of those were answers.
0:41:28 > 0:41:29You'd have got four for mother,
0:41:29 > 0:41:31three for father, three for honour as well.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Now, Ezekiel is very unlucky,
0:41:33 > 0:41:36because Ezekias is in that list I'm afraid,
0:41:36 > 0:41:39and that was a pointless answer, as are most of the names on that list,
0:41:39 > 0:41:40so that's very, very unlucky.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Let's take a look at the list.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44We'll start with Jesus of Nazareth.
0:41:44 > 0:41:45Some big names here.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Everyone apart from Robert Powell, Peter Ustinov and Ian McShane,
0:41:50 > 0:41:52every other cast member was a pointless answer,
0:41:52 > 0:41:54so well done if you said one of those.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Loads and loads of pointless answers in these people,
0:41:57 > 0:41:58as you would expect.
0:41:58 > 0:41:59Here's a few of them.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03You could have had Achaz, Achim, Eliakim,
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Esrom, Ezikias, that's a real shame.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Um, Jeconiah, Jehosaphat, Josiah,
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Ozias, Zorobabel, lots and lots of pointless answers.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15The biggest scorers there, Mary, Abraham, David and Judas.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19And the words of six or more now in Exodus.
0:42:20 > 0:42:21Here's a few of them here.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25I just want to read out the one-pointers,
0:42:25 > 0:42:27because they make a nice sort of little prose poem,
0:42:27 > 0:42:30which I know you will enjoy, given what you do.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34Remember, thousands, witness, graven, labour, bondage, mountain.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Beautiful.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38All one-pointers. The biggest scorers there, in fact,
0:42:38 > 0:42:40the top three scorers in order, you should be very careful,
0:42:40 > 0:42:42are commit, neighbour, adultery.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44LAUGHTER
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Thank you so much, Phillip and Alick. It's been great having you.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51I'm sorry you're not taking that jackpot home with you.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53That will roll over on to the next show,
0:42:53 > 0:42:55when we'll be playing for £4,000.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57APPLAUSE
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06APPLAUSE
