Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,

0:00:210:00:24

the show that makes big winners out of the lowest scorers. Let's meet today's players.

0:00:240:00:28

And couple number one.

0:00:320:00:34

Hello, I'm Alick, I'm from Burnley,

0:00:340:00:36

and this is my friend, Phillip, from Colchester.

0:00:360:00:39

Couple number two.

0:00:390:00:40

Hi, I'm Huub, this is my wife, Grace, and we're from London.

0:00:400:00:43

Couple number three.

0:00:430:00:44

I'm Gene from Shrewsbury, and this is my housemate, Chris, from Surrey.

0:00:440:00:47

And finally, couple number four.

0:00:470:00:49

I'm Ruth from Leeds, this is Steffi from Oxford and we're ex-colleagues, now friends.

0:00:490:00:54

And these are today's contestants.

0:00:540:00:56

APPLAUSE

0:00:560:00:57

Thanks very much, I want to give you a warm welcome to Pointless.

0:00:570:00:59

Great to have you here. We will get to chat throughout the show as it goes along,

0:00:590:01:03

so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:030:01:05

He is fighting a war on ignorance on orders from his commanding officer,

0:01:050:01:09

General Knowledge, it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

0:01:090:01:12

Hiya. Hi, everybody.

0:01:120:01:14

-Good afternoon. Good afternoon to you, sir.

-Good afternoon.

0:01:140:01:18

-How are you?

-I'm very well.

0:01:180:01:20

Now, a couple of Pointless firsts, really. Well, not a first.

0:01:200:01:23

I think biggest hair ever, we have to say, for Phillip.

0:01:230:01:25

It must be close, right?

0:01:250:01:26

-Yeah.

-Our first-ever Huub playing.

0:01:260:01:28

-Our first-ever Huub.

-Which is great, hopefully not our last.

0:01:280:01:32

And Steffi and Ruth on podium four, our only returners, did very well last time, didn't they?

0:01:320:01:36

-Got through to the head-to-head.

-Head-to-head. Yeah.

0:01:360:01:38

Against Stephen and Daniela. So they are going to be tough to beat,

0:01:380:01:41

I would say, for our three new pairs.

0:01:410:01:43

That's a good first podium, isn't it?

0:01:430:01:44

-It's pretty good. It makes a statement.

-Yeah.

0:01:440:01:48

Fabulous. Anyway, thank you very much indeed.

0:01:490:01:51

Now, Stephen and Daniela didn't win the jackpot last time,

0:01:510:01:54

so we add another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off at £3,000.

0:01:540:01:58

There it is. APPLAUSE

0:01:580:02:00

Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:000:02:02

APPLAUSE

0:02:020:02:04

So, as ever, there's just one thing you have to burden yourselves with and that is this knowledge.

0:02:080:02:12

The pair with the highest score at the end of each round

0:02:120:02:15

will be eliminated, so just keep your scores nice and low and you will be fine.

0:02:150:02:18

Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category today is...

0:02:180:02:22

Can you decide in your pairs who is going to go first, who's going to go second?

0:02:240:02:28

And whoever is going first, please, step up to the podium.

0:02:280:02:30

OK, and the question concerns...

0:02:330:02:36

-Richard.

-Simply, on each board we going to ask you

0:02:400:02:42

seven different questions, the answers to all of them begin with the letter S.

0:02:420:02:46

Seven on the first board, seven on the second,

0:02:460:02:48

14 in all to have a go at at home, very best of luck.

0:02:480:02:50

Thanks very much indeed. Here is our first board of sporting conundra.

0:02:500:02:54

Starting with...

0:02:550:02:57

I'm going to read those all again.

0:03:260:03:28

-There we go. Alick, welcome to Pointless.

-Thank you.

0:03:540:03:57

-Great to have you here from Burnley.

-From Burnley.

-What do you do, Alick?

0:03:570:04:00

I'm a student at Warwick University, just going into my Masters year now.

0:04:000:04:03

Wow, so you graduated...

0:04:030:04:04

-Yeah, graduated.

-Last, the end of last year?

-Yes.

0:04:040:04:06

And off you go into your masters. What are you studying?

0:04:060:04:09

Writing, I'm going to study.

0:04:090:04:10

I did study previously English literature and creative writing.

0:04:100:04:13

That's fun, though, isn't it?

0:04:130:04:14

-It is, I love it.

-And you loved the first part of your course,

0:04:140:04:17

and now you're specialising in writing?

0:04:170:04:19

-That's the plan.

-Creative writing.

-Specialising might be

0:04:190:04:21

-an optimistic word, but you know.

-Focusing.

0:04:210:04:23

-Focusing, yeah, yeah.

-Focusing on. That's fantastic.

0:04:230:04:26

Now, sport. Alick, how are we feeling about this?

0:04:260:04:28

Yeah, yeah, there's a few there that I think I could have a stab at.

0:04:280:04:31

But I think I'm going to go for the Crucible Theatre holds snooker

0:04:310:04:36

tournaments in this English city, which I believe is Sheffield.

0:04:360:04:40

Sheffield, says Alick.

0:04:400:04:41

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Sheffield.

0:04:410:04:43

49.

0:04:510:04:52

Not bad, not bad. The bottom half of the column, there, Alick.

0:04:520:04:55

Good start to the round.

0:04:550:04:57

Wonderful, Sheffield. Great city. Great tournament as well.

0:04:570:05:00

-I would like to read something that Alick wrote, would you not?

-I would.

0:05:000:05:02

-I think it would be interesting.

-I think it would be.

-Yeah.

0:05:020:05:05

I think it would. Shall I ask what kind of things he writes?

0:05:050:05:08

-No, no.

-Maybe if he comes back next show.

0:05:080:05:11

You can ask him if you want, why don't you ask?

0:05:110:05:13

-Why don't you ask him?

-I'll ask him.

0:05:130:05:14

-You're allowed to ask me.

-Alick, what kind of things do you write?

0:05:140:05:17

Um, I used to write a lot of prose, fiction,

0:05:170:05:19

but I've been trying to get into the hybrid form recently,

0:05:190:05:22

so mixing prose and poetry.

0:05:220:05:24

Mainly poetry, I suppose, at the moment,

0:05:240:05:27

with little titbits of prose in there.

0:05:270:05:29

OK, I take it back.

0:05:290:05:30

LAUGHTER

0:05:300:05:32

Sounds fascinating.

0:05:330:05:34

Now, Grace, welcome to Pointless.

0:05:340:05:36

Great to have you here. Now, Grace, what do you do?

0:05:360:05:38

-I'm a town planner.

-Which towns are you planning right now?

0:05:380:05:42

Mainly London at the moment.

0:05:420:05:43

OK, which districts, which boroughs?

0:05:430:05:46

I do most of them. So, Camden, Westminster.

0:05:460:05:49

-Oh, that's good.

-Yep.

0:05:490:05:52

So, hang on, do you sit on a council of planners, do you?

0:05:520:05:55

No, I work for developers.

0:05:550:05:57

So if a developer wants to build something, then I help them.

0:05:570:06:00

OK, very good. What are your interests, Grace?

0:06:000:06:02

I like cooking, baking,

0:06:020:06:06

I've also got a one-year-old so he's a full-time hobby as well.

0:06:060:06:09

Very good indeed. Now, Grace,

0:06:090:06:11

what would you like to go for on our board here of sporting Ss?

0:06:110:06:14

Um...

0:06:140:06:15

I think I know one but I think it's a bit risky so I'm just going to go

0:06:190:06:22

for the Russian city, and I think it's Sochi.

0:06:220:06:25

Sochi, says Grace.

0:06:250:06:26

Let's see if that is right and let's see

0:06:260:06:28

how many of our 100 people said Sochi.

0:06:280:06:30

Sochi is right.

0:06:330:06:34

27 for Sochi, well done.

0:06:380:06:40

APPLAUSE

0:06:400:06:42

It cost 51 billion, the Sochi Winter Olympics.

0:06:440:06:48

-Really?

-That's amazing. It's only some skiing.

0:06:480:06:50

Was that the... Didn't they have to pump

0:06:500:06:52

up lots of snow, because there wasn't enough snow?

0:06:520:06:54

I guess. But also if you go skiing, I've never been skiing,

0:06:540:06:57

and I know that drinks are expensive and stuff, aren't they,

0:06:570:07:00

-so maybe it all, maybe it adds up.

-Thanks very much, Richard.

0:07:000:07:03

Now, Chris. Welcome to Pointless.

0:07:030:07:04

All these new contestants. Now, Chris. What do you do?

0:07:040:07:08

I'm a student at the University of Birmingham.

0:07:080:07:10

And what year are you in?

0:07:100:07:12

I'm just going into my third year now.

0:07:120:07:13

Your third and final year?

0:07:130:07:15

Yeah, hopefully I'll do a bit more uni,

0:07:150:07:17

because I don't really want a job just yet, but.

0:07:170:07:20

Stay cocooned in university life.

0:07:200:07:22

-Absolutely.

-So what are you studying?

0:07:220:07:24

Economics and politics.

0:07:240:07:25

OK, very good indeed.

0:07:250:07:26

Do you think you will tend economically or politically when you come out?

0:07:260:07:29

-Probably more politically, at the moment.

-OK.

0:07:290:07:32

Very good indeed. Now, Chris,

0:07:320:07:34

what would you like to go for on our board of sporting Ss?

0:07:340:07:37

I think the women's 1976 French Open winner who became the host of

0:07:370:07:41

Question Of Sport is Sue Barker.

0:07:410:07:43

Sue Barker says Chris,

0:07:430:07:45

let's see if that's right and

0:07:450:07:46

let's see how many of our 100 people said Sue Barker.

0:07:460:07:49

It's right. 49 is our high, 27 is our low...

0:07:510:07:55

55 for Sue Barker.

0:07:550:07:57

APPLAUSE

0:07:570:07:59

I love Sue Barker.

0:08:000:08:01

-Of course you do.

-As you know,

0:08:010:08:02

I have very much got her lined up as your replacement.

0:08:020:08:05

I know.

0:08:050:08:06

Thanks very much, Richard. Steffi, welcome back to Pointless,

0:08:080:08:11

good to have you here. Remind us what you do, Steffi.

0:08:110:08:14

I'm an analyst in the medical devices industry.

0:08:140:08:17

The medical devices, that's just fun right there, isn't it?

0:08:170:08:21

-Dangerous area.

-What are your interests, Steffi?

0:08:210:08:24

I like reading, going on treks, walking.

0:08:240:08:28

-Boring stuff.

-I like boring stuff.

0:08:280:08:31

-Boring stuff is good.

-Yes.

-Nothing wrong with boring stuff.

0:08:310:08:33

Steffi, are you pleased with what you've got left on the board here?

0:08:330:08:36

Are there some things there you can go for?

0:08:360:08:38

Well, I knew one which has gone,

0:08:380:08:41

but I think I'm going to try the six-letter word and say sprint.

0:08:410:08:45

Sprint, says Steffi,

0:08:450:08:46

let's see if Sprint is right,

0:08:460:08:48

let's see how many of our 100 people got sprint.

0:08:480:08:50

It's right.

0:08:530:08:54

I didn't even have time to tell you that 55 was our high score,

0:08:550:08:58

which is just as well, because it no longer is.

0:08:580:09:00

88 is now our high score.

0:09:000:09:02

That's a big score, isn't it?

0:09:020:09:03

We shall fill in the rest of this board, shall we?

0:09:030:09:05

-The goalkeeper?

-Seaman.

0:09:050:09:08

Correct. Would have scored you 65 points.

0:09:080:09:11

The Toby Maguire film, did you see this?

0:09:110:09:13

-A good film, actually.

-Seabiscuit.

0:09:130:09:15

Seabiscuit, yeah. That would have scored you 25.

0:09:150:09:17

And this last one, Sam Snead, and that would have

0:09:170:09:19

scored you six points. Very well done if you said that.

0:09:190:09:22

-Best answer up there.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:09:220:09:24

We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.

0:09:240:09:27

The best score of that pass was yours, very well done, Grace, 27.

0:09:270:09:29

Lovely low score, there.

0:09:290:09:31

Grace and Huub looking good at this point,

0:09:310:09:33

then 49 is where we find Alick and Phillip. 55, Chris and Jeevan.

0:09:330:09:37

Not too bad, but Steffi and Ruth, there you are on 88.

0:09:370:09:40

We need a low score from you, Ruth.

0:09:400:09:42

Head-to-head last time, it can't be a round one exit this time, Ruth.

0:09:420:09:46

That's in your hands, good luck. We're going to

0:09:460:09:48

come back down the line,

0:09:480:09:49

can the second players please, step up to the podium?

0:09:490:09:51

OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board and here they are.

0:09:530:09:56

We have got...

0:09:580:09:59

I'll read those all again.

0:10:220:10:24

Ruth. Welcome back to Pointless.

0:10:450:10:48

-Thank you.

-So what do you do, Ruth?

0:10:480:10:50

I'm a product manager for a microbiology company.

0:10:500:10:52

I see, so when you were working with Steffi you were very much in the

0:10:520:10:56

medical instruments department, and now you've gone...

0:10:560:10:59

You've branched very slightly.

0:10:590:11:01

Yeah, it's like a sidestep.

0:11:010:11:03

I see. I see.

0:11:030:11:04

-Yes.

-So, very, very sophisticated lab equipment.

0:11:040:11:07

-Yes.

-Like those sort of droppers that can put drops into test tubes,

0:11:070:11:11

-25 a time.

-Yes.

0:11:110:11:12

Oooh!

0:11:120:11:14

That's not my range, but, yes, we do have those.

0:11:140:11:16

-They're cool. OK, there we are. You carry those.

-Yes.

-Very impressive.

0:11:160:11:19

Ruth, what are your interests?

0:11:190:11:20

Travelling is a big interest for me, cooking...

0:11:200:11:23

Well, Leeds. You have all the way up to Leeds from London, that is...

0:11:230:11:27

Well, a bit further afield than that.

0:11:270:11:28

I like to travel in Southeast Asia is my favourite place at the moment.

0:11:280:11:33

Everywhere, really.

0:11:330:11:35

Very good indeed.

0:11:350:11:36

Now, you are the high scorers, Ruth, we need a low score from you.

0:11:360:11:39

Is that board going to yield a sufficiently low score for you, I wonder?

0:11:390:11:42

There's only two I can do, the Scottish one,

0:11:420:11:46

my mum will kill me because she's Scottish and I'm sure she would be

0:11:460:11:49

screaming this at the TV, but I can't do it.

0:11:490:11:52

So, I'm going to go for the top one,

0:11:520:11:54

the country whose international rugby team is the Springboks,

0:11:540:11:57

I think that's South Africa.

0:11:570:11:59

South Africa says Ruth, no red line for you as you are the high scorers.

0:11:590:12:02

Let's see how many of our 100 people said South Africa.

0:12:020:12:04

It's right.

0:12:070:12:08

63 for South Africa, taking your total up to 151.

0:12:090:12:14

Yeah, presaging the famous football game in the First World War,

0:12:150:12:20

the second Boer War was once interrupted for a rugby game

0:12:200:12:23

between the Boer Army and the British Army.

0:12:230:12:25

OK. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:12:250:12:27

-Pleasure.

-Now, Jeevan.

0:12:270:12:29

Welcome, welcome to Pointless.

0:12:290:12:31

Good to have you here. What do you do, Jeevan?

0:12:310:12:34

I actually live with Chris. We're at university together in Birmingham,

0:12:340:12:37

-and I study economics.

-I see.

0:12:370:12:39

So you meet on the economic side of Chris's curriculum?

0:12:390:12:42

-Yeah, we share some lectures together.

-OK.

0:12:420:12:44

When we both turn up, of course.

0:12:440:12:45

Very good. Now, Jeevan, what are

0:12:450:12:47

your interests when economics is done?

0:12:470:12:49

So I'm really interested in policy, in politics, and how that's done.

0:12:490:12:54

Sounds like you should be on Chris's course.

0:12:540:12:56

Or has Chris enthused you?

0:12:560:12:58

I think we both share an interest in politics.

0:12:580:13:00

I was much more interested in the math side of economics

0:13:000:13:03

-and that's why I took it.

-I see, very good indeed.

0:13:030:13:05

Now, Jeevan, you're on 55, which means

0:13:050:13:07

95 or less keeps you in the game.

0:13:070:13:10

Not too tall an order, I would hope, Jeevan.

0:13:100:13:12

How is that board looking to you?

0:13:120:13:15

It's not looking too bad.

0:13:150:13:17

There's one that's really risky,

0:13:170:13:18

I was tempted to take it up until just now.

0:13:180:13:22

I'm thinking, should I play it safe?

0:13:220:13:23

You say 95, was it?

0:13:230:13:25

Yes.

0:13:250:13:26

OK.

0:13:260:13:28

I'm therefore tempted to play safe and say...

0:13:280:13:30

..the number of events that make up

0:13:320:13:33

a heptathlon, so I'm going to say seven.

0:13:330:13:35

Seven, seven says Jeevan. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:13:350:13:38

We get a red line, there we are.

0:13:380:13:39

Get below that with seven, you are into the next round.

0:13:390:13:42

How many people said seven?

0:13:420:13:43

It's right and you are through.

0:13:460:13:48

63, which takes your total up to 118.

0:13:500:13:54

Yeah, that was a true economist's answer, there.

0:13:540:13:57

Did exactly the right thing.

0:13:570:13:59

-Yeah, heptathlon.

-Thank you very much, Richard.

0:13:590:14:02

Thank you. Now, Huub.

0:14:020:14:03

Huub, you're Dutch, I'm going to guess that?

0:14:030:14:06

-Yes. That is, yes, that's correct.

-It's true!

0:14:060:14:08

But, Huub, tell us what you do.

0:14:080:14:10

I'm a researcher for a publishing company.

0:14:100:14:12

What sort of publishing company is it?

0:14:120:14:14

We publish regeneration and inward investment magazines for local authorities.

0:14:140:14:19

I see, so that's the kind of research you are doing.

0:14:190:14:22

Do you head off into the local authorities

0:14:220:14:24

to do that research or do you do it from a desk in London?

0:14:240:14:26

Both, both, both.

0:14:260:14:27

-I conduct surveys.

-That's fun.

0:14:270:14:29

I do interviews, all that sort of stuff, yeah.

0:14:290:14:32

Very good indeed. And what are your interests, Huub?

0:14:320:14:34

Just normal. I like movies, reading, video games.

0:14:340:14:37

Very good indeed. Now, good news, Huub,

0:14:370:14:39

you are through to the next round. Doesn't matter what you score.

0:14:390:14:43

But let's have a nice low score from you,

0:14:430:14:45

-if you can find one up there.

-Um, I think I know a few.

0:14:450:14:47

But I think I'm going to go for the

0:14:500:14:53

projectile hit in badminton which is shuttle.

0:14:530:14:56

Shuttle, says Huub.

0:14:560:14:59

Shuttle. No red line for you, you're already through.

0:14:590:15:01

Let's see what happens when we say shuttle.

0:15:010:15:04

Yeah.

0:15:060:15:07

69. 69,

0:15:080:15:10

which takes your total up to 96.

0:15:100:15:14

Yeah, shuttle. Perfectly acceptable shortform for shuttlecock.

0:15:140:15:17

Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Phillip, welcome to Pointless.

0:15:170:15:20

Good to have you here.

0:15:200:15:21

-Tell us what you do.

-I'm doing a masters

0:15:210:15:23

at Warwick Business School, in management.

0:15:230:15:26

So, you and Alick were in the same year?

0:15:260:15:28

We were indeed. Both did English literature.

0:15:280:15:30

The books slowly killed me, but he seems to thrive off it.

0:15:300:15:33

I see. So you're putting the books behind you

0:15:330:15:35

-and striding off to business management.

-Exactly, yeah.

0:15:350:15:37

Altogether more fulfilling.

0:15:370:15:39

So, the next year, how is that going to be, your masters?

0:15:390:15:42

Are you involved at all in tuition? Do you do any of that kind of stuff?

0:15:420:15:45

-No?

-I honestly couldn't tell you.

0:15:450:15:47

-He's not. He's not.

-It's as much of a surprise for me as anyone else.

0:15:470:15:50

No, you have no idea what to expect?

0:15:500:15:52

Tragically little idea. It's actually embarrassing.

0:15:520:15:54

It will be fun, though. And will you be sharing a house?

0:15:540:15:56

Yeah, we've got a house sorted.

0:15:560:15:58

Oh, but that's nice. You've got a whole year in prospect

0:15:580:16:01

of exciting new discoveries.

0:16:010:16:02

That's great. Now then, Phillip,

0:16:020:16:04

you are already through as well,

0:16:040:16:06

but if you want to fill in all those blanks, you'd be very welcome.

0:16:060:16:08

Well, I'd absolutely love to.

0:16:080:16:10

I mean, the three I knew have gone.

0:16:100:16:12

The S in US car racing, I'd guess for speed,

0:16:120:16:15

but that's an absolute punt.

0:16:150:16:17

Each of the three upright pieces of wood which form a wicket,

0:16:170:16:20

sticks seems to...

0:16:200:16:23

I don't know.

0:16:230:16:25

You a cricketer, Phillip?

0:16:250:16:26

No, I'm not.

0:16:260:16:28

I'm just so thankful that we are through.

0:16:280:16:30

I'm really struggling. I'll go for speed for the third one down.

0:16:300:16:33

OK. Speed in Nascar. Speed, let's see if that's right.

0:16:330:16:35

No red line, you're already through.

0:16:350:16:37

How many people said speed, if it's right?

0:16:370:16:40

No.

0:16:420:16:43

I'm afraid not speed. Scores you 100 points.

0:16:430:16:45

Takes your total up to 149, but you're through anyway.

0:16:450:16:48

Yeah, not speed. It's actually... It's the National Association...

0:16:480:16:51

-Stock Car.

-..Stock Car Auto Racing.

0:16:510:16:54

Yeah. So stock is the answer there.

0:16:540:16:55

Would have scored you 13.

0:16:550:16:57

It's not sticks, down the bottom.

0:16:570:16:59

-Stumps.

-Oh!

-Yeah.

0:16:590:17:01

Rather ironically.

0:17:030:17:04

It would have scored you 58.

0:17:050:17:07

The Scottish 12-aside sport is shinty.

0:17:070:17:10

Would have scored 20.

0:17:100:17:12

And the best answer on the board, the Missouri city, is St Louis.

0:17:120:17:14

Very well done if you said that. 11 points.

0:17:140:17:17

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:17:170:17:18

At the end of our first round,

0:17:180:17:20

the pair heading home with a high score of 151.

0:17:200:17:22

Oh, Ruth and Steffi, I'm so sorry.

0:17:220:17:24

Far too soon to be sending you home.

0:17:240:17:26

Our only returning pair.

0:17:260:17:28

Anyway, it's been lovely having you on.

0:17:280:17:29

-Thank you so much for playing.

-Thank you.

-Ruth and Steffi.

0:17:290:17:32

APPLAUSE

0:17:320:17:33

But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.

0:17:330:17:36

And so we are down to three pairs.

0:17:410:17:43

At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.

0:17:430:17:47

Oh, sailed a little bit close to the wind there in the event,

0:17:470:17:50

Phillip and Alick.

0:17:500:17:51

Grace and Huub, very well done indeed.

0:17:510:17:53

Grace, our low scorer individually, and Grace and Huub together,

0:17:530:17:56

our lowest combined score. Best of luck to all three pairs for the next round.

0:17:560:17:59

Our category for round two today is...

0:17:590:18:02

Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:18:040:18:06

who's going to go second? And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:18:060:18:10

OK. And the question concerns...

0:18:130:18:15

-Richard.

-Yeah, we're going to show you

0:18:190:18:21

16 pictures now of people associated with

0:18:210:18:23

the world of fashion. Can you identify one of these, please?

0:18:230:18:25

Thank you very much indeed.

0:18:250:18:27

So, we are going to put this image up, 16 pictures,

0:18:270:18:29

they will stay up for the whole round.

0:18:290:18:31

We won't be changing them halfway through the round.

0:18:310:18:33

You just have to shout out any name that you see on that board.

0:18:330:18:35

Let's see who is up there.

0:18:350:18:37

OK. There we are.

0:18:390:18:41

16 people from the world of fashion.

0:18:410:18:44

Phillip, you are to go first.

0:18:440:18:46

I mean, you can tell just by looking at me

0:18:480:18:50

this isn't going to be my best round.

0:18:500:18:53

I think I can pick out...

0:18:540:18:55

In fairness, I think there's four there I know.

0:18:570:18:59

Just trying to think...

0:19:000:19:02

I'm going to go for, um...

0:19:020:19:04

-Karl Lagerfeld.

-Karl Lagerfeld, says Phillip.

0:19:050:19:08

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Karl Lagerfeld.

0:19:080:19:11

It's right.

0:19:140:19:15

It's a good score as well.

0:19:180:19:20

32. Very well done, Phillip.

0:19:200:19:21

Good start to the round.

0:19:210:19:23

Well played. Yeah, there he is, in the shades, Karl Lagerfeld.

0:19:240:19:27

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:19:270:19:29

Grace.

0:19:290:19:30

Um, I know a few.

0:19:310:19:34

I think I'm going to go for the model Jourdan Dunn.

0:19:390:19:41

Jourdan Dunn. Jourdan Dunn, says Grace.

0:19:410:19:45

Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.

0:19:450:19:47

It's right. Well, 32 is the only score we've got at this point.

0:19:500:19:54

Jourdan Dunn

0:19:540:19:55

surpasses that.

0:19:550:19:57

All the way down to one.

0:19:570:19:58

APPLAUSE

0:19:580:20:00

Grace is at it again.

0:20:000:20:01

Another low scoring round.

0:20:010:20:03

One for Jourdan Dunn.

0:20:030:20:05

Very well played, Grace. Yeah, model from west London, Jourdan Dunn, one point.

0:20:050:20:09

Thank you very much indeed. Now then, Chris,

0:20:090:20:11

who would you like to go for, from our gallery of fashion?

0:20:110:20:14

This is an awful round for me.

0:20:140:20:15

Probably the worst category that probably could have come up.

0:20:170:20:20

But I do know a little bit of sport and from my sport knowledge,

0:20:200:20:23

I do know that Victoria Beckham is up there.

0:20:230:20:26

-There we go.

-So I'll go with Victoria Beckham.

0:20:260:20:28

By whatever circuitous route, we have arrived at Victoria Beckham.

0:20:280:20:31

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Victoria Beckham.

0:20:310:20:33

It's right. 32 was our high score.

0:20:370:20:40

80 is our new high score there.

0:20:400:20:42

APPLAUSE

0:20:420:20:44

Yeah, well played. I think it was treated as something of a joke

0:20:440:20:46

years ago, when she went into fashion.

0:20:460:20:48

And she's been unbelievably successful. She makes an awful lot

0:20:480:20:50

-more money than her husband now.

-Thanks, Richard. We're halfway

0:20:500:20:53

through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.

0:20:530:20:55

One, Grace. Very well done indeed.

0:20:550:20:57

Best score of the pass. Then up to 32 where we find Phillip and Alick.

0:20:570:21:00

Then 80 is where we find Chris and Jeevan.

0:21:000:21:03

So, Jeevan, you know what we need.

0:21:030:21:04

A nice low-scoring fashionista from you, please.

0:21:040:21:08

Good luck. Could the second players please step up to the podium?

0:21:080:21:11

So, then, Jeevan.

0:21:140:21:15

Yes, you are quite a long way ahead.

0:21:150:21:17

48 points ahead there.

0:21:170:21:19

-Yes.

-Can you find a nice answer that

0:21:190:21:22

-perhaps might level those scores a bit?

-I'll be completely honest,

0:21:220:21:26

I'm an economist and I don't know anything about fashion.

0:21:260:21:29

And actually, Victoria Beckham was the one I was going to go for,

0:21:290:21:32

so this is actually really, really worrying.

0:21:320:21:34

I genuinely have no idea.

0:21:360:21:37

I'm going to... This is... I'm going to have to make up a name because I

0:21:390:21:42

really don't know. This is so embarrassing.

0:21:420:21:43

I'm going to go for John Smith.

0:21:430:21:45

John Smith, says Jeevan.

0:21:470:21:49

John Smith. No red line for you as you are high scorers.

0:21:490:21:52

Let's see what happens when we say John Smith.

0:21:520:21:55

Nope, I'm afraid not John Smith.

0:21:570:21:59

That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 180.

0:21:590:22:04

Not John Smith, I'm afraid.

0:22:040:22:05

Although his couture collection this year is to die for.

0:22:050:22:07

-It is.

-Have you seen it?

0:22:070:22:09

-It is.

-He knows his stuff.

0:22:090:22:12

-He does.

-But his picture's not up here

0:22:120:22:14

because he is famously reclusive.

0:22:140:22:15

Yeah. Thank you very much, Richard.

0:22:150:22:17

-Now, Huub.

-Yeah.

0:22:170:22:19

I think I recognise two faces on the board,

0:22:190:22:24

although I wouldn't bet my savings on being correct,

0:22:240:22:28

but I think I recognise Kate Moss on there.

0:22:280:22:30

Kate Moss, says Huub.

0:22:300:22:32

No red line, you are already through.

0:22:320:22:34

How many of our 100 people said Kate Moss?

0:22:340:22:36

It's right.

0:22:390:22:40

60, Kate Moss. Takes your total up to 61.

0:22:410:22:44

Well played, Huub. Yeah, bottom left there, Kate Moss.

0:22:460:22:49

The Absolutely Fabulous movie

0:22:490:22:50

revolves around Kate Moss one way or another.

0:22:500:22:53

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:22:530:22:55

Now then, Alick, also through to the next round.

0:22:550:22:58

But I think you will know a few people on this board.

0:22:590:23:02

-You think wrong.

-Really?

0:23:020:23:04

I have...

0:23:040:23:06

I don't know any of them.

0:23:060:23:07

I recognise maybe a couple of faces and I've been

0:23:070:23:09

struggling to get an old Burnley player, Jean-Louis Valois,

0:23:090:23:12

out of my head for a while.

0:23:120:23:13

But I think one of them may be Jean-Paul Gaultier.

0:23:130:23:18

Jean-Paul Gaultier.

0:23:180:23:20

Jean-Paul Gaultier, says Alick.

0:23:200:23:23

No red line, you are already through.

0:23:230:23:25

Let's see if Jean-Paul Gaultier is up there.

0:23:250:23:27

Bad luck, Alick. That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 132.

0:23:310:23:35

Yeah, although Jean-Louis Valois is up there, that's the irony.

0:23:350:23:38

No, I might test you on some of these because these...

0:23:390:23:42

-Yeah, I think I know... I know...

-Top left?

0:23:420:23:44

-Gandy.

-Eight points for David Gandy.

0:23:440:23:46

-Next to him?

-Vivienne Westwood.

-Vivienne Westwood.

0:23:460:23:49

-She's a big scorer.

-Would have scored you 53.

0:23:490:23:51

-Next to Vivienne?

-Stella McCartney.

-Stella McCartney, 29 points.

0:23:510:23:54

Now, do you know this next one?

0:23:540:23:56

I'm going to take a punt on

0:23:560:23:57

Coco Chanel because she's that vintage and I

0:23:570:24:00

think she looked slightly like that.

0:24:000:24:01

You are absolutely right. It is Coco Chanel.

0:24:010:24:04

She would have scored you ten points.

0:24:040:24:06

Now, the next row?

0:24:060:24:08

It's Dolce or Gabbana.

0:24:080:24:10

Oh, so close. It's Gianni Versace.

0:24:100:24:12

Oh, right. OK. LAUGHTER

0:24:120:24:14

Would have scored you five points.

0:24:140:24:15

-Macaulay Culkin, obviously.

-It's not Macaulay Culkin.

0:24:150:24:18

It's not even his brother, Kieran Culkin.

0:24:180:24:20

Looks even more like him. It's JW Anderson,

0:24:200:24:22

the Northern Irish designer.

0:24:220:24:24

Terrific designer. It's a Pointless answer.

0:24:240:24:25

Well done if you said that. Next to him?

0:24:250:24:27

-Yves Saint Laurent.

-Yves Saint Laurent. Would have scored you nine.

0:24:270:24:30

Next down? Kendall Jenner.

0:24:300:24:33

One of the Kardashian clan.

0:24:330:24:34

Would have scored you eight. Next to Victoria Beckham?

0:24:340:24:37

-That is Ralph Lauren.

-Is Ralph Lauren.

0:24:370:24:39

Yeah. He would have scored you eight.

0:24:390:24:41

Bottom row?

0:24:410:24:43

-Easier than you think.

-It's...

0:24:450:24:47

-Twiggy.

-Of course it is.

0:24:470:24:48

-Of course it is Twiggy.

-Would have scored you...

-I mean, obviously,

0:24:480:24:51

I know it's not Emma Bunton, but...

0:24:510:24:52

-You know what I mean?

-50 for that.

0:24:520:24:54

And very unlucky with your John Smith answer.

0:24:540:24:56

-John Smith!

-Because that is...

-Paul Smith.

0:24:560:24:58

Paul Smith, yeah.

0:24:580:25:00

Would have scored you two.

0:25:000:25:01

And the last one on the board,

0:25:010:25:02

is another pointless answer, probably the

0:25:020:25:04

most famous fashion photographer.

0:25:040:25:06

Um, um....

0:25:060:25:07

Mario Testino.

0:25:070:25:09

-Mario, oh, yes.

-And he would have scored you nothing at all.

0:25:090:25:11

Very well played if you said that.

0:25:110:25:13

Very good indeed. Thank you very much, Richard.

0:25:130:25:15

Well, we are at the end of our second round,

0:25:150:25:17

and the pair we have to say goodbye to,

0:25:170:25:19

with their high score of 180 and their low fashion knowledge,

0:25:190:25:22

but I'm sure, on the strength of what we've seen so far, you will go a long way next time,

0:25:220:25:25

barring any fashion questions, but we will say goodbye for now.

0:25:250:25:28

Look forward to seeing you next time, Jeevan and Chris.

0:25:280:25:30

APPLAUSE

0:25:300:25:32

But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:25:320:25:35

Congratulations, Grace and Huub, Phillip and Alick. You are now

0:25:400:25:43

one step closer to the final and a chance to play for that jackpot,

0:25:430:25:47

which currently stands at £3,000.

0:25:470:25:48

And here we are in the head-to-head, which means you're allowed to confer

0:25:510:25:54

before you give your answers.

0:25:540:25:55

First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:25:550:25:58

Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.

0:25:580:26:01

APPLAUSE

0:26:010:26:03

Here is your first question. And it concerns...

0:26:060:26:09

-Richard.

-Yeah, going to give you five clues now

0:26:120:26:15

to planets of our solar system.

0:26:150:26:17

-Can you tell us what they are, please?

-Thanks very much indeed.

0:26:170:26:19

OK, let's reveal our five clues. And here they are...

0:26:190:26:22

I'll read those all again.

0:26:420:26:44

There we are. Grace and Huub, you are our low scorers,

0:27:030:27:05

so you will go first.

0:27:050:27:06

WHISPERED CONFERRING

0:27:060:27:08

Um, we are going to go for the fourth one,

0:27:180:27:21

the home planet of the invaders, which is Mars.

0:27:210:27:25

Mars, say Grace and Huub.

0:27:250:27:27

Mars. Now, Phillip and Alick, do you want to talk us through that board?

0:27:270:27:31

Yeah. We think the first one is Venus.

0:27:310:27:35

We believe the second one is Jupiter.

0:27:350:27:37

The third one, Mercury.

0:27:370:27:39

Alick knew that one, I had no idea.

0:27:390:27:42

The fifth one, I feel like it's Saturn, but it's, yeah,

0:27:420:27:45

up in the air.

0:27:450:27:46

-Third one, we're sure on that?

-Yeah. Let's do

0:27:460:27:48

-it.

-We're sticking it. We're doing it. Mercury.

-Mercury.

0:27:480:27:51

OK. So, we have Mars and we have Mercury.

0:27:510:27:53

Grace and Huub went for Mars.

0:27:530:27:55

Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Mars.

0:27:550:27:59

There we are. The home planet of the invaders.

0:28:020:28:04

Mars. 61.

0:28:040:28:06

APPLAUSE

0:28:060:28:08

Meanwhile, Phillip and Alick have gone for Mercury, the planet that

0:28:100:28:12

shares its name with the chemical element with the symbol Hg.

0:28:120:28:15

Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.

0:28:150:28:17

It's right.

0:28:200:28:21

And it wins you the point.

0:28:230:28:24

There we are. 49 for Mercury.

0:28:240:28:26

Very well done indeed, Phillip and Alick.

0:28:260:28:28

You've nicked it. After one question, you are up 1-0.

0:28:280:28:31

Yeah, very well played. Women originated on this planet.

0:28:310:28:34

Of course, we all originate on the same planet, but it's Venus.

0:28:340:28:37

81 points for that.

0:28:370:28:38

The largest planet in the solar system, you're quite right,

0:28:380:28:41

was Jupiter, would have won you the point as well,

0:28:410:28:43

would have scored you 47.

0:28:430:28:44

And the planet surrounded by rings is Saturn,

0:28:440:28:46

of course and that would have scored you 67.

0:28:460:28:49

Thank you very much, Richard. Well, we move on to our second question.

0:28:490:28:52

Now, Grace and Huub, you have to win this question to stay in the game,

0:28:520:28:55

but Phillip and Alick get first dibs on the board,

0:28:550:28:57

so good luck with that, Grace and Huub.

0:28:570:28:59

Our second question today is all about...

0:28:590:29:01

-Richard.

-We are about to show you five pictures

0:29:050:29:08

of characters in films to do with banking or finance.

0:29:080:29:10

Can you tell us the name of the

0:29:100:29:12

films that these are taken from, please?

0:29:120:29:14

Thanks very much indeed.

0:29:140:29:15

Let's reveal our five bankers, and here they are.

0:29:150:29:18

We've got...

0:29:190:29:20

There we are, five bankers on film.

0:29:450:29:48

Phillip and Alick, you will go first.

0:29:480:29:51

WHISPERED CONFERRING

0:29:520:29:54

We're going to go for A, The Wolf Of Wall Street.

0:30:040:30:07

OK, A, Wolf Of Wall Street, say Phillip and Alick.

0:30:070:30:10

Now, Grace and Huub,

0:30:100:30:12

do you want to talk us through the rest of those films?

0:30:120:30:14

Er, we only know one other, and it's C, and we think it's Working Girl.

0:30:170:30:21

OK, you're going to say Working Girl for C,

0:30:210:30:24

so we have Wolf Of Wall Street and we have Working Girl.

0:30:240:30:26

Phillip and Alick said Wolf Of Wall Street for A.

0:30:260:30:28

Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.

0:30:280:30:31

It is The Wolf Of Wall Street and that...

0:30:330:30:36

Not bad. 40 for The Wolf Of Wall Street.

0:30:380:30:40

APPLAUSE

0:30:400:30:42

Grace and Huub, meanwhile, have gone for Working Girl, for C.

0:30:440:30:48

Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:30:480:30:51

It's right. Is it going to beat 40?

0:30:530:30:57

Yes, it is, look at that.

0:30:570:30:58

Down it goes.

0:30:580:30:59

Good score, to 19.

0:30:590:31:00

Very well done, Grace and Huub, back in the game.

0:31:000:31:03

After two questions, it's 1-1.

0:31:030:31:05

APPLAUSE

0:31:050:31:06

Well played, Grace and Huub.

0:31:060:31:08

-B?

-Rogue Trader.

0:31:080:31:10

Rogue Trader, yeah. It's Ewan McGregor there

0:31:100:31:12

-as Nick Leeson. Remember him?

-Mmm.

-Eight points for that.

0:31:120:31:15

D is the best answer on the board.

0:31:160:31:18

The Big Short? It's The Big Short, yeah.

0:31:180:31:20

Ryan Reynolds or Gosling, I'm never sure which.

0:31:200:31:23

-Gosling.

-Is it?

0:31:230:31:25

Would have scored you three points.

0:31:250:31:26

Great book. I wasn't so keen on the film The Big Short,

0:31:260:31:29

but the book is amazing.

0:31:290:31:30

And this last one, got to be one of the ten greatest films of all time.

0:31:300:31:33

You mustn't let Christmas go by without seeing it.

0:31:330:31:35

-It's A Wonderful Life.

-It's A Wonderful Life, yeah.

0:31:350:31:38

James Stuart there as George Bailey.

0:31:380:31:39

And that would have scored you 13.

0:31:390:31:41

-Well done if you said that.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:31:410:31:44

OK, so here comes your third question. Whoever wins this one

0:31:440:31:46

goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot,

0:31:460:31:48

so best of luck to both pairs.

0:31:480:31:50

Our third question today is all about...

0:31:500:31:53

-Richard.

-Yeah, we're going to show you the names now

0:31:560:31:58

of five British resort towns, but in the form of anagrams, I'm afraid.

0:31:580:32:01

Whoever works out the most obscure answer

0:32:010:32:03

is going through to play for the jackpot.

0:32:030:32:05

-Good luck.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:32:050:32:06

OK, let's reveal our five anagrams, and here they come.

0:32:060:32:09

We have got...

0:32:090:32:10

I'll read those all again.

0:32:180:32:20

Grace and Huub will go first.

0:32:260:32:28

WHISPERED CONFERRING

0:32:290:32:31

Er, I only know one, and it's the fourth one down,

0:32:420:32:45

and I think it's Scarborough.

0:32:450:32:47

Scarborough say Grace and Huub. Scarborough.

0:32:470:32:52

Now then, Phillip and Alick.

0:32:520:32:55

That's the one we were going to go for, Scarborough.

0:32:550:32:57

We thought that would be the least popular out of what we knew, anyway.

0:32:570:33:00

We'll go for the one beneath that, Bournemouth.

0:33:000:33:02

OK, Bournemouth. So we have Scarborough and we have Bournemouth.

0:33:020:33:06

Now, Grace and Huub said Scarborough.

0:33:060:33:09

Let's see if that's right. Let's see

0:33:090:33:10

how many of our 100 people got that for Rough Cobras.

0:33:100:33:13

It's right.

0:33:160:33:17

41 for Scarborough.

0:33:200:33:22

APPLAUSE

0:33:220:33:23

Not bad, not bad.

0:33:250:33:27

Meanwhile, Phillip and Alick have

0:33:270:33:28

gone for Bournemouth, for Bone Hum Tour.

0:33:280:33:30

Let's see if that's right.

0:33:300:33:31

Let's see how many of our 100 people got Bournemouth.

0:33:310:33:34

It's right.

0:33:360:33:37

Ooh, look at that!

0:33:400:33:41

Down it goes to 38.

0:33:410:33:42

Very well done indeed.

0:33:420:33:44

Bournemouth winning the point for you there and,

0:33:440:33:47

after three questions, Phillip and Alick,

0:33:470:33:49

you are through to the final 2-1.

0:33:490:33:50

Yeah, great head-to-head, everybody. Well played. Um, the top one...

0:33:500:33:53

-..is Margate.

-Oh, of course it is Margate!

0:33:540:33:56

That would have scored you 52.

0:33:560:33:58

-Polka Bloc?

-Blackpool.

0:33:580:33:59

Blackpool. 64.

0:33:590:34:01

Now, the best answer by some way was Parent Sty.

0:34:010:34:04

It's in Wales.

0:34:040:34:06

It's Prestatyn.

0:34:070:34:08

Exactly. Well done if you said that. Three points. Terrific answer.

0:34:090:34:12

Very good. Thank you so much, Richard.

0:34:120:34:14

Well, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,

0:34:140:34:17

Grace and Huub. You met your match in Phillip and Alick there,

0:34:170:34:19

-playing as a team.

-I'm sorry!

0:34:190:34:22

You'll be back again next time though,

0:34:220:34:23

and I'm sure on the strength of today's performance

0:34:230:34:25

you'll do just as well, if not maybe one click better.

0:34:250:34:28

But thank you so much for playing, Grace and Huub.

0:34:280:34:30

APPLAUSE

0:34:300:34:32

Right, for Phillip and Alick, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:34:330:34:36

APPLAUSE

0:34:360:34:38

Congratulations, Phillip and Alick.

0:34:390:34:41

You've seen off all the competition

0:34:410:34:43

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:34:430:34:45

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

0:34:510:34:53

At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £3,000.

0:34:530:34:57

There it is.

0:34:570:34:58

APPLAUSE

0:34:580:35:00

Well, you see, I would say this is

0:35:000:35:03

the strength of your teamwork, you see,

0:35:030:35:05

because we have, as I said before we've had a couple of moments

0:35:050:35:08

where one of you has dropped the ball, but the other one's

0:35:080:35:10

always been there to help them out.

0:35:100:35:11

Great teamwork in that head-to-head round,

0:35:110:35:13

and you beat Grace and Huub, who I thought were unstoppable.

0:35:130:35:17

The only cloud to that silver lining is we are not going to see what you

0:35:170:35:20

had lined up to wear for the next show.

0:35:200:35:21

It was jazzy. It was jazzy.

0:35:210:35:23

I can believe that!

0:35:230:35:25

Anyway, listen, you get to choose your category

0:35:250:35:27

from the four that will appear on the board behind me.

0:35:270:35:30

Anything at this stage you'd love to see up there?

0:35:300:35:33

Er, in terms of...

0:35:330:35:35

Sports, maybe football.

0:35:350:35:36

Current affairs feel like we've got covered, really.

0:35:360:35:38

Yeah. See, I know very little

0:35:380:35:40

about sports, but Alick would smash it, so I'm hoping football.

0:35:400:35:43

OK, very good. Best of luck.

0:35:430:35:44

Our four choices today are...

0:35:440:35:46

It's like a dream come true, isn't it? That's just...

0:35:550:35:58

LAUGHTER

0:35:580:35:59

-Wow!

-Phil knows the Bible.

0:36:010:36:03

Phil's got a solid handle of the Bible, I feel, or so he tells me.

0:36:030:36:07

I don't know, mate. Let's go for the Bible.

0:36:070:36:08

We'll go for the Bible. Oh, mate, it's the sensible thing to do.

0:36:080:36:12

-Yeah. OK. Yeah, yeah.

-Alick doesn't sound convinced,

0:36:130:36:16

but, yes, you're going to go for the Bible.

0:36:160:36:18

-The Bible it is.

-Yeah, the Bible.

0:36:180:36:20

Very best of luck. An awful lot of people

0:36:200:36:21

just lost a sweepstake at home there as to what you were going for,

0:36:210:36:24

but three very different questions here.

0:36:240:36:26

A couple of them, I think, might, if you know your stuff,

0:36:260:36:29

you might do well on. We'll start with,

0:36:290:36:31

we're looking for any cast member of

0:36:310:36:33

the 1977 TV series Jesus Of Nazareth,

0:36:330:36:35

according to IMDB. I wouldn't worry about that one.

0:36:350:36:38

We are looking for any people mentioned in Matthew chapter one,

0:36:380:36:41

verses one to 17, all the descendants of Joseph, essentially,

0:36:410:36:44

the one that so-and-so begat so-and-so,

0:36:440:36:47

any names mentioned in that, please, apart from Joseph and Jesus.

0:36:470:36:51

Or we are looking for any words of six or more letters

0:36:510:36:53

in Exodus chapter 20.

0:36:530:36:55

That's the chapter that includes the Ten Commandments.

0:36:550:36:57

So, the cast of Jesus of Nazareth,

0:36:570:36:59

any people mentioned in the

0:36:590:37:01

so-and-so begat so-and-so section of

0:37:010:37:03

Matthew chapter one, or any words of

0:37:030:37:05

six or more letters

0:37:050:37:06

in Exodus chapter 20.

0:37:060:37:07

Very, very best of luck.

0:37:070:37:09

Thank you very much indeed.

0:37:090:37:11

Now, as always, you've got up to one minute

0:37:110:37:13

to come up with three answers, and all you need to earn that jackpot

0:37:130:37:16

of £3,000 is for just one of those

0:37:160:37:17

answers to be pointless. Are you ready?

0:37:170:37:19

-Yes, yes.

-OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the board.

0:37:190:37:22

There they are. Your time starts now.

0:37:220:37:24

-Speak to me.

-Right, basically, the top one

0:37:240:37:25

-seems like some sort of cruel joke.

-Yeah.

0:37:250:37:27

So we're going to have to blank that out.

0:37:270:37:29

-Right, people mentioned in Matthew chapter one.

-OK.

-Ezekiel.

0:37:290:37:32

-Ezekiel.

-It's a biblical name. It is a biblical name.

0:37:320:37:34

Who knows?

0:37:340:37:36

Words of six or more letters in Exodus chapter 20,

0:37:360:37:38

I feel like there's something about disrespecting your parents.

0:37:380:37:41

-Disrespecting, is that one, or parents?

-Parents is what I'd say.

0:37:410:37:44

-OK, OK.

-We're assuming some sort of English translation,

0:37:440:37:47

so I'm thinking parents, Ezekiel and, er...

0:37:470:37:51

-And?

-You know, I've had two there.

0:37:530:37:54

You've had two there. Let's... What is Exodus about?

0:37:540:37:57

-What not to do.

-What not to do.

0:37:580:38:00

So, erm...

0:38:000:38:02

-What not to do. What is a biblical thing not to do?

-Dis...

0:38:040:38:06

Disrespecting your parents.

0:38:060:38:08

Can we go for parents and disrespecting?

0:38:080:38:10

-It's the Ten Commandments.

-Is it the Ten Commandments?

0:38:100:38:13

-Ten seconds left.

-I don't think the answer's "commandments".

0:38:130:38:16

Why not? Let's have commandments, Ezekiel...

0:38:160:38:18

-Commandments!

-Oh. Say disrespecting, parents,

0:38:180:38:22

do not disrespect, say parents...

0:38:220:38:25

OK, that is your time up.

0:38:250:38:26

Let's have your three answers.

0:38:260:38:28

Right, so, people mentioned in Matthew chapter one,

0:38:280:38:30

we're going to go Ezekiel.

0:38:300:38:32

Ezekiel, OK.

0:38:320:38:33

Words of six or more letters

0:38:330:38:34

in Exodus chapter 20, we're going to go...

0:38:340:38:37

-Parents...

-Parents.

0:38:380:38:39

-And...

-Disrespect.

0:38:390:38:42

-Disrespect.

-Disrespect, OK.

0:38:420:38:44

So we have Ezekiel, we have parents and we have disrespect.

0:38:440:38:47

Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:470:38:51

Ezekiel sounds like...

0:38:510:38:52

Are you sure Ezekiel's in there?

0:38:520:38:54

-No.

-OK. Well, not Ezekiel!

0:38:540:38:57

Er, let's have parents.

0:38:570:38:59

Parents we'll put last. Least likely to be pointless?

0:38:590:39:01

-Ezekiel, because it's probably not right.

-Ezekiel. Disrespect goes

0:39:020:39:05

in the middle. OK, let's put those answers up on the board

0:39:050:39:08

in that order then, and here they are. We have got...

0:39:080:39:10

Well, best of luck.

0:39:130:39:15

Three answers on the board there. Let's hope one of these turns out

0:39:150:39:18

to be pointless and wins that jackpot

0:39:180:39:19

for you. What would you do with three grand?

0:39:190:39:21

Nice prize to be taking home.

0:39:210:39:23

Phillip, what would you like to do with your share of that if you won?

0:39:230:39:26

I can't say anything particularly exciting.

0:39:260:39:28

Probably put most of it towards my masters fees and then maybe go on a

0:39:280:39:33

little bar crawl with Alick, sample some ales.

0:39:330:39:35

Just a nice night out.

0:39:350:39:37

-Sophisticated.

-Very nice.

0:39:370:39:38

Alick, how about you?

0:39:380:39:39

We saw a spa on the way to our hotel yesterday,

0:39:390:39:42

so I think we'll go straight there after the show,

0:39:420:39:45

get a massage, calm us down.

0:39:450:39:47

And then maybe I'd like to go to the Amazon at some point and put some

0:39:470:39:51

-money towards that.

-Good stuff.

0:39:510:39:52

Now then, let's put those answers to the test.

0:39:520:39:55

Your first answer was Ezekiel.

0:39:550:39:57

In this case, we were looking for any person

0:39:570:39:59

mentioned in Matthew chapter one.

0:39:590:40:00

Let's see if Ezekiel is right.

0:40:000:40:02

If it's pointless, it will win you £3,000.

0:40:020:40:04

How many of our 100 people said Ezekiel?

0:40:040:40:06

I'm afraid not Ezekiel.

0:40:100:40:13

An incorrect answer there. So let's move

0:40:130:40:14

swiftly on to your second answer.

0:40:140:40:16

In this case, we were looking for any word

0:40:160:40:18

of six or more letters in Exodus chapter 20.

0:40:180:40:20

You have gone in this case for disrespect.

0:40:200:40:22

Certainly has more than six letters in.

0:40:220:40:25

-I think it's dishonour.

-Is it there?

0:40:250:40:27

-Is it?

-If it is there and if it is pointless, it will win you £3,000.

0:40:270:40:31

How many of our 100 people said disrespect?

0:40:310:40:33

Bad luck. No disrespect in Exodus chapter 20.

0:40:360:40:40

Now, your third and final answer, the one you thought was

0:40:400:40:43

probably your best shot at a pointless answer, is parents.

0:40:430:40:45

Again, we are looking for any word of

0:40:450:40:47

six or more letters in Exodus chapter 20.

0:40:470:40:49

Let's see how many of our 100 people said parents.

0:40:490:40:52

If it's pointless, it wins you £3,000.

0:40:520:40:53

No, bad luck!

0:40:570:40:58

APPLAUSE

0:40:580:41:00

Bad luck.

0:41:000:41:01

It was a game attempt. But they were pretty tough, those ones.

0:41:010:41:05

They were pretty tough. I'm afraid you didn't manage to

0:41:050:41:07

find that all-important pointless answer,

0:41:070:41:09

so you don't win today's jackpot of £3,000.

0:41:090:41:11

That will roll over to the next show.

0:41:110:41:13

But it's been great having you on.

0:41:130:41:14

Far too brief, actually, but a shame it's only been one show.

0:41:140:41:17

Thank you so much for playing so well, you get a Pointless trophy

0:41:170:41:19

each to take home. Phillip and Alick!

0:41:190:41:21

APPLAUSE

0:41:210:41:23

Yeah, that particular commandment is honour thy father, thy mother,

0:41:230:41:27

so all of those were answers.

0:41:270:41:28

You'd have got four for mother,

0:41:280:41:29

three for father, three for honour as well.

0:41:290:41:31

Now, Ezekiel is very unlucky,

0:41:310:41:33

because Ezekias is in that list I'm afraid,

0:41:330:41:36

and that was a pointless answer, as are most of the names on that list,

0:41:360:41:39

so that's very, very unlucky.

0:41:390:41:40

Let's take a look at the list.

0:41:400:41:42

We'll start with Jesus of Nazareth.

0:41:420:41:44

Some big names here.

0:41:440:41:45

Everyone apart from Robert Powell, Peter Ustinov and Ian McShane,

0:41:470:41:50

every other cast member was a pointless answer,

0:41:500:41:52

so well done if you said one of those.

0:41:520:41:54

Loads and loads of pointless answers in these people,

0:41:540:41:57

as you would expect.

0:41:570:41:58

Here's a few of them.

0:41:580:41:59

You could have had Achaz, Achim, Eliakim,

0:42:010:42:03

Esrom, Ezikias, that's a real shame.

0:42:030:42:06

Um, Jeconiah, Jehosaphat, Josiah,

0:42:060:42:09

Ozias, Zorobabel, lots and lots of pointless answers.

0:42:090:42:12

The biggest scorers there, Mary, Abraham, David and Judas.

0:42:120:42:15

And the words of six or more now in Exodus.

0:42:150:42:19

Here's a few of them here.

0:42:200:42:21

I just want to read out the one-pointers,

0:42:230:42:25

because they make a nice sort of little prose poem,

0:42:250:42:27

which I know you will enjoy, given what you do.

0:42:270:42:30

Remember, thousands, witness, graven, labour, bondage, mountain.

0:42:300:42:34

Beautiful.

0:42:340:42:36

All one-pointers. The biggest scorers there, in fact,

0:42:360:42:38

the top three scorers in order, you should be very careful,

0:42:380:42:40

are commit, neighbour, adultery.

0:42:400:42:42

LAUGHTER

0:42:420:42:44

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:42:440:42:46

Thank you so much, Phillip and Alick. It's been great having you.

0:42:460:42:49

I'm sorry you're not taking that jackpot home with you.

0:42:490:42:51

That will roll over on to the next show,

0:42:510:42:53

when we'll be playing for £4,000.

0:42:530:42:55

APPLAUSE

0:42:550:42:57

Join us then to see if someone can win it.

0:42:570:42:59

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...

-Goodbye.

0:42:590:43:01

..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.

0:43:010:43:04

APPLAUSE
