0:00:18 > 0:00:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed!
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28This is the show where all the questions have been asked
0:00:28 > 0:00:31to 100 people before the show. All our contestants have to do
0:00:31 > 0:00:33is come up with the answers no-one else could think of.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35APPLAUSE
0:00:38 > 0:00:40And couple number one.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Hi, my name's Emily, and I'm from Bristol.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45And this is my friend Jenny, and she's from Bournemouth.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Samarth, this is Karan, my brother.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50He's from Manchester and I'm from London.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Scott.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54This is Paul. We work together in Birmingham.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57- And we both live in Birmingham. - And finally, couple number four.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, Xander. My name's Alison, this is my fiance Andrew,
0:01:00 > 0:01:02and we're from near Stockport.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03And these are today's contestants.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05APPLAUSE
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Thank you very much, all of you. A warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Lovely to have you here. We'll get the chance to chat to each of you
0:01:10 > 0:01:11throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15He's like a tamed lion...
0:01:15 > 0:01:18..if lions sat behind desks reciting countries and chemical elements.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20LAUGHTER It's my Pointless friend.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- It's Richard.- Hiya. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Hey, everybody! Hiya!
0:01:26 > 0:01:27- Hello there.- Hello.- How are you?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- I'm very well, thank you.- Excellent. Now, there's only two familiar faces
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- for us here...- Yeah.- That's Emily and Jenny, there, on podium one.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35They were on podium one last time as well.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37They got knocked out in the second round,
0:01:37 > 0:01:38but with seven points,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40seven points, and they still got knocked out,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42so a terrific round from everybody, wasn't it?
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Very unfortunate to be knocked out.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46They're going to be tough to beat, I think. They were very impressive.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Welcome to all of our newcomers,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51including someone who's gone to the bother of wearing a tie.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52I know. When did that last happen?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I know. Like a long time ago.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57In the mid-'50s, the last time we had a contestant in a tie,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- LAUGHTER - but it's much appreciated.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Thank you. Now, the last one.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02What an amazing final we had.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Laura and Cameron, who you'll remember very well.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Cameron is a politics student at Edinburgh,
0:02:07 > 0:02:11from Glasgow, lives in Edinburgh, and is a politics student,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13and Scottish politics came up on the board.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Which of course he didn't take,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17because he's a student.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21But took sport instead, and still won the £4,500.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24So it was a roller-coaster final round, was it not?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- It was.- But lovely, lovely, the two of them.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27- A good win.- Yeah, a very good win.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Very good win.- Very excited. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32So yes, Laura and Cameron won the jackpot
0:02:32 > 0:02:35which means we start off with a jackpot today back at £1,000.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38There it is. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39APPLAUSE
0:02:43 > 0:02:45So just remember this,
0:02:45 > 0:02:47the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:47 > 0:02:49will be eliminated. Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Our first category today is...
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Can you decide in your pairs,
0:02:56 > 0:02:58who's going to go first and who's going to go second?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Richard.- On each board we're going to show you the names of
0:03:12 > 0:03:14seven tracks which were the title tracks of various albums.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16We'll also give you the year that those albums were released,
0:03:16 > 0:03:18but who were the albums by, please?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Seven on the first board, seven on the second,
0:03:20 > 0:03:22so 14 in all to have a go at.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- Good luck, everyone.- OK, so who were the artists who had these albums?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28And the title tracks are...
0:03:43 > 0:03:44I'll read them again.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Now then, Emily. Welcome back.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Remind us what you do.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I'm doing a PhD at the University of Bristol,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05and I also work there as an administrator.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Now you told us last time
0:04:06 > 0:04:08that you briefly went up to do a PhD in Wales.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Yeah.- It was at Cardiff, was that? - Swansea.- Was it Swansea?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13That was quite brave.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- Yes, it was.- How was that? You were going to commute, were you?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I did commute. It was three hours each way.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- Yeah.- Yeah.- How many times a week were you making that journey?
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Twice a week.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I can see why you transferred to Bristol.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25Much, much nicer.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26How long are you doing your PhD?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Is it across a year or... - I'm doing it part-time,
0:04:29 > 0:04:32so I've been doing it for six years and I'm going to finish next year,
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- so it will take me seven overall. - Very good. Oh, that's exciting.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Very good, indeed. Now, how are we feeling about this albums round?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I mean, mixed, I would say.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- Mixed. It's a mixed bag. - I know a couple of them,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47but I think they're probably going to be quite obvious ones.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50I'm going to go with...
0:04:51 > 0:04:53..Hotel California, The Eagles.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55The Eagles, says Emily.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Let's see how many of our 100 people went for The Eagles
0:04:57 > 0:04:58for Hotel California.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02It's right.
0:05:04 > 0:05:0566. APPLAUSE
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Not bad. Not bad.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Solid start.- Yeah, very well done.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Of course the album, also called Hotel California,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16one of the biggest selling albums of all time, anywhere.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Thank you. Karan, welcome.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Hello.- Good to have you here from Manchester.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- Yes, I'm from Manchester. - And what do you do, Karan?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- I'm a doctor. - Oh, what kind of doctor?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27So, at the moment, I'm working in intensive care.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30I see. So how long have you been qualified as a doctor?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I've been qualified now about three years.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34OK, so when you say at the moment,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36do you think that is where you'll stay,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38will you remain an intensive care doctor,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41or might you, I don't know, find another little branch?
0:05:41 > 0:05:42I may well go back to it.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47I haven't yet got into a long-term specialty training pathway.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48- I see.- So I might go back to it.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49You might. You might.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51And will you be based in Manchester?
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Will that be where you will stay?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Or will you just go wherever the work...
0:05:54 > 0:05:57For the foreseeable future I'd like to stay there. Yes.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00OK. Very good. Now, Karan, albums, and their title tracks.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03How are we liking this?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Yeah, there's a few I recognise.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Just hard to decide which one will be the low scorer.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12But I'll go with...
0:06:12 > 0:06:14..London Calling, The Clash.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15The Clash, says Karan.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Clash.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23It's right. 66 is our only score at this point.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25You pass it.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Down we go to 40 for The Clash. Not bad at all, Karan.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29APPLAUSE All moving in the right direction.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Yeah, very well played. Great song.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36They play that at the start of the second half at all Fulham games,
0:06:36 > 0:06:38London Calling, for all the good it does us.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41It's good. And when I did the votes for the Eurovision jury,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I know you're supposed to say this is United Kingdom,
0:06:43 > 0:06:45but I deliberately said this is London Calling.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- That's nice. - As a little Fulham reference.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Did you say it in an old-fashioned voice?
0:06:49 > 0:06:50QUAINT RP: "This Is London calling."
0:06:50 > 0:06:53I just said it in my voice, which given I'm 45 is quite old-fashioned.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55LAUGHTER
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Very good. Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Thank you.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- Paul, welcome.- Hello. Thank you.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Good to have you here from Birmingham.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Yes, I am. That's a very good, dense beard Paul's got there.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Yeah, yeah, no. It's almost like it's been felt-tipped on.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- There's no... - I tell you what it looks like,
0:07:10 > 0:07:12it looks like someone's put it on with iron filings and a magnet.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14I've grown it specially for the show.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Thank you. Started yesterday.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Yeah! - LAUGHTER
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Paul, what do you do in Birmingham? What keeps you busy there?
0:07:21 > 0:07:22I'm a police officer.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Oh, I was about to say what keeps you out of trouble.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26There you are, police officer. Great to have you here.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28How long have you been on the beat in Birmingham?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- About eight years now.- Eight years.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Very good indeed. Did you and Scott...
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Are you on the beat together?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- I am, yep, yep. - I just knew they were.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Yeah. I could tell.- Oh, yeah. They're a cop duo. You can see that.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41They're a duo! Oh, that's fabulous.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43And you've been alongside each other,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45working alongside for all those eight years, have you?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47No. Probably about the last five years.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Last five. Very good indeed.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Now, Paul, we haven't had any stunningly low scores yet.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54There's nothing wrong with the scores so far,
0:07:54 > 0:07:57but I bet there are some lower scores on that board.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58I think, looking at it,
0:07:58 > 0:08:02the lowest I think I can go for is Red,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04and Daniel Merriweather.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Daniel Merriweather, says Paul.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Let's see how many of our 100 people said that for Red.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13GROANING
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Oh... Oh, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20100 points. Richard?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Yeah, no, I'm afraid, he did do a song, Red,
0:08:22 > 0:08:24did a version of the song Red, but, yeah,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26it wasn't on an album called that in that year, I'm afraid.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29So unlucky. It was my first instinct as well, actually.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31I suspect other people's will have been as well.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Thank you very much indeed.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Now then, Andrew.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Hello.- Hello.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Oh! Polite, tie, jacket, nice to have you here.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- What do you do?- I'm a software developer,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44working for a company that makes scientific equipment.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Oh, now that's fun. How long have you been developing software there?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Oh, for that company, about three years.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52About nearly 20 years as a software developer.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54OK, and what sort of scientific equipment?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Where does it go, to a laboratory?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Does it go to the bottom of the sea?
0:08:58 > 0:08:59- Does it go to space? - It can go to laboratories.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- It can go to space actually, yes. - No way.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03It's a company that makes mass spectrometers
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- and equipment for liquid chromatography.- Wow.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Now, Andrew, this board's all yours.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Do you want to talk us through it and fill in all our blanks?
0:09:11 > 0:09:12OK. I have no idea what Red is.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Thriller's Michael Jackson, but I think that'll be high.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Surfin' USA, The Beach Boys.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Elton John.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Highway To Hell is calling to me.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26I think it might be AC/DC, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31I'll try it. I'll say AC/DC, Highway To Hell.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33AC/DC, Highway To Hell says Andrew.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Let's see how many of our 100 people went for it.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39That paid off, Andrew.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Very well done indeed. It's correct.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Let's see. 40 is our low score, and you pass.
0:09:43 > 0:09:4426! APPLAUSE
0:09:46 > 0:09:47There you are.
0:09:47 > 0:09:4926 for AC/DC.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53See, that's the way to introduce yourself to Pointless, isn't it?
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Wear a tie, have a cool job,
0:09:54 > 0:09:55know all the answers,
0:09:55 > 0:09:58and still go for the slightly risky one you're not certain of,
0:09:58 > 0:10:00and get the lowest score of the round. The perfect way to do it.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Yeah, yeah, yeah.- So let's fill in the rest of these, shall we?
0:10:03 > 0:10:06You were right about the others you knew. Also right to avoid them.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Thriller, Michael Jackson, of course.
0:10:08 > 0:10:1088 for that. It's a very big score.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12The Beach Boys, Surfin' USA,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15would have scored you 75.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Goodbye Yellow Brick Road would have scored you 50 for Elton John.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23And Red is the title track of the album Red by Taylor Swift...
0:10:24 > 0:10:27..I'm afraid, Taylor Swift. And it's the best answer on the board.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Seven points. Very well done, if you said that at home.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Thanks very much, Richard. So, halfway through the round,
0:10:32 > 0:10:34let's look at the scores. 26, best of the pass, Andrew.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Well done, looking strong on the back of that.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Then Karan and Samarth are there on 40.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Then up to 66, where we find Emily and Jenny.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42And then 100, Paul and Scott.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45So, yes, Scott, a bit of work to do here, but good luck.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47You may be able to do it. Maybe you can pull something back
0:10:47 > 0:10:49on this next pass. Good luck with that, Scott.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Coming back down the line, now.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:55 > 0:11:00OK. Let's put seven more title tracks from albums up on the board.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01And here they are.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14I'll read those all one last time.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27There we are. Alison, welcome to Pointless.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Great to have you here from Stockport.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31What do you do, Alison?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I'm a project manager. I work with the health care sector.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Very good. And what are your interests?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I'm a barbershop singer, so I sing with a ladies' barbershop chorus
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- in Stockport.- Now that's fun!
0:11:41 > 0:11:43I haven't come across any ladies' barbershop quartets.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- Oh!- That, you see, is brilliant.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48There's over 60 of us in Stockport. The Crystal Chords.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51And I'm involved with our national group as well,
0:11:51 > 0:11:54the Ladies Association Of British Barbershop Singers,
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- I sit on the board. - Very good indeed.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57How long have you done that for? Ages?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I've been singing for about ten years,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01and I've been involved with the national group
0:12:01 > 0:12:03for maybe five, six of those.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04How extraordinary. And what do you do?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Do you all get together once every so often and have a big...
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Oh, we have a huge competition every October
0:12:09 > 0:12:11where all the barbershop choruses around the country
0:12:11 > 0:12:13get together and compete.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15We're getting ready for that,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18and making sure that we're all tiptop all year round.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20So there's always lots of rehearsal going on.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Good stuff! Well, good for you.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Good luck. Now, there you are on 26.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26If you could happen to score 73 or less,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28you are through to the next round.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31So...
0:12:31 > 0:12:34..I'm going to go for Parklife...
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- ..and say Blur. - Blur says Alison.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Here is your red line. If you can get below this red line with Blur,
0:12:40 > 0:12:42you're straight through to the next round.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44How many of our 100 people said it?
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Well done. Good enough.
0:12:50 > 0:12:5152. APPLAUSE
0:12:53 > 0:12:5478 is your total.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Well played, Alison. Nice answer. Yeah, a number one album for Blur.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00It was one of the albums...
0:13:00 > 0:13:03The Royal Mail had a series of stamps of classic albums,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05and that was one of the ones they chose.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Very good. Thank you, Richard.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Now then, Scott.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Welcome.- Hello.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12Welcome.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16So, you are a police officer with Paul.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Do you actually work alongside each other, or are you...
0:13:19 > 0:13:21We're on the same team. We work slightly different shifts.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- I see.- I've done a few more years than him.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25I see. I see.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27And what are your interests outside of police work, Scott?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Sport. I like playing football.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33I'm training my little boy, he likes of being a goalkeeper.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Reading books. And I love cooking.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Very good. What do you cook?
0:13:37 > 0:13:38I try anything.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I particularly follow Nigella Lawson's recipes.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42I see. OK.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Very good. Now, Scott, you're on 100.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47We need a low score from you just to keep you in the game.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50This is a nightmare board for me.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53And it is a guess,
0:13:53 > 0:13:55cos Parklife was my other one.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Like A Prayer.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00And I'm thinking it's Madonna.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02You're going to go for that, Madonna.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04No red line, cos you're the high scorers.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Let's see how many of our 100 people said Madonna.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10It's right.
0:14:12 > 0:14:1371. APPLAUSE
0:14:14 > 0:14:16That's a high score,
0:14:16 > 0:14:17171 is your total.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Yeah, another number one album, but, yeah, big scorer.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Thanks very much, Richard.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Now then, Samarth, welcome to Pointless.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Good to have you here. What do you do, Samarth in London?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30So I write for a motorsports magazine right now.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31That's fun. How long have you done that?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Not long, about six months.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36So it's kind of a trainee scheme that I'm in.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38And is motorsports a particular love of yours?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Yeah. Yeah, definitely.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44I mean, I cover smaller races, so not F1 or anything like that.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46But you know, who knows, in the future?
0:14:46 > 0:14:47That's fun, though.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50So you're writing up race days,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53you go up and file your copy, what, from the track-side?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Yeah, from the front lines, yeah. - See, that's very exciting.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- Full-on.- That's proper, the smell of fumes in your nose.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Oh, yeah. All the poisonous gases.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01LAUGHTER Excellent, perfect.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03That's what we love about it. Now, 40 is your score.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05You are through to the next round I'm afraid,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08because Scott and Paul have taken one for the team there.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10So that takes a bit of pressure off you, Samarth,
0:15:10 > 0:15:13but let's see what you... Let's see what's the best answer you've got.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I know a couple.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20But I'm going to go for the first one, Teenage Dream.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I'm going to go for Katy Perry.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Katy Perry. So, Samarth,
0:15:23 > 0:15:26no red line for you as you're already through,
0:15:26 > 0:15:28but let's see how far down the column we get with Katy Perry.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33It's right.
0:15:38 > 0:15:3917. Not bad at all. APPLAUSE
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Look at that, 57 is your total, the lowest total of the round.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Good work, Samarth.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Yeah, good answer. It's a good album, this one, actually.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- She's good, Katy Perry. - She is good.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49She works with very good songwriters.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52So many of these pop stars,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54they've got unbelievable songwriters.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56I don't think pop music has ever been in a better state
0:15:56 > 0:15:58than it currently is.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- There, I said it. - LAUGHTER
0:16:00 > 0:16:03There you are. Thank you, Richard. Jenny, welcome back.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Jenny, remind us what you do.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- I'm a truck driver. - See, that's just wonderful.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10That is wonderful. But how long have you been a truck driver for?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- Ten years.- And you love it?
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Yeah, yeah, I do enjoy it.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Did you go into it thinking,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16this is exactly what I'm going to do,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18or did you think oh, I'll just give it a whirl and try it?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20No.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24I was actually doing a PhD, which is how I know Emily.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27And I was already a qualified driving instructor,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29but the PhD wasn't working, so I needed to get a job,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32so I just started driving vans for an agency.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34And it kind of went from there.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Yeah, I'll say!
0:16:35 > 0:16:38But you're not tempted to do sort of continental haulage?
0:16:38 > 0:16:39No, no.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41I quite like...
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Cos I like to be able to go home every day
0:16:43 > 0:16:46so that I can stay on top of my own food and my own exercise
0:16:46 > 0:16:49and stuff like that, whereas, if you do continental,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51then you're completely at the mercy of service stations
0:16:51 > 0:16:52and I don't like that.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Yeah, completely. It's the food basically that's determining it.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58You've never driven a truck which has a bed behind...?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Oh, yeah. They've nearly all got a bed behind.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- Oh, that's nice.- Yeah, even if it's just for a day
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- then you've still got a bed. - That's nice.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06That's quite cosy.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Anyway, here we are. Enough about that.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Jenny, you're through to the next round.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14This board's all yours. That takes all the pressure off.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Why not have some fun by filling in a blank for us?
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Well, I only know two.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21I only knew four in the beginning,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23so I'm quite relieved.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26But I'm going to go for Wish You Were Here, Pink Floyd.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Pink Floyd. So, it's Jenny for Wish You Were Here.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30No red line, you're already through.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Let's see what happens when we say Pink Floyd.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Wow, down it goes to 21. APPLAUSE
0:17:42 > 0:17:43Surprising.
0:17:44 > 0:17:4687 is your total.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Yeah, very well played. Nice answer.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Let's fill in the rest of these, shall we?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51- A Hard Day's Night?- The Beatles.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52It's the Beatles. Course it is.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54That would have scored you 77.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Born This Way...
0:17:55 > 0:17:57..is Lady Gaga.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58It IS Lady Gaga.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59That would have scored 27.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02And the best answer on the board, very well done if you said that.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Her most famous song was All About That Bass.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05It's Meghan Trainor.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07And she would have scored you three points.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08So terrific work if you got that.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Thanks very much indeed.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I've got a selfie of me and Meghan Trainor on my phone.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- Have you?- Yeah.- I bet it's not still on her phone.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17LAUGHTER
0:18:17 > 0:18:18To be fair, it never was.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19It never was on her phone.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- But she's good, isn't she? - She's good.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22- Yeah.- She's very nice.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Yeah, thank you. Well, we are at the end of our first round.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29We have to say goodbye to one of our pairs, and I'm sorry to say,
0:18:29 > 0:18:31it's our policemen from Birmingham, Scott and Paul. 171.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Next time, though, I have every confidence
0:18:33 > 0:18:36you will go much, much further, but in the meantime, thanks very much,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Scott and Paul. APPLAUSE
0:18:39 > 0:18:42But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43APPLAUSE
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Well, three pairs remain. At the end of this round, obviously,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Our category for round two this afternoon is...
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04who's going to go second?
0:19:04 > 0:19:06And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Let's find out what the question is.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Yeah, it's been an extraordinary success story,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Team GB cycling.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32We're looking for anyone who's won a medal of any colour
0:19:32 > 0:19:35from the 1976 Olympics all the way through to the 2016 Olympics please.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37So any colour medal,
0:19:37 > 0:19:39could be track cycling or road cycling. Very best of luck.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Thanks very much indeed.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Now, then. Emily.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Mmm!
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I'm going to go for Laura Trott.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Laura Trott. Laura Trott says Emily.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Let's see how many of our 100 people said Laura Trott.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01It's right.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Not bad, 34. APPLAUSE
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Not bad at all.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Yeah, Britain's most successful female Olympian ever.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Four gold medals for Laura Trott.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17She was born with a collapsed lung,
0:20:17 > 0:20:20and was advised to take up sports just to improve her breathing.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Yeah.- And that, I would say, was a good idea.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Seemed to pay off.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26But that's a big score, isn't it?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28That shows quite how big cycling has got.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Yeah.- That someone like Laura Trott in a sport that
0:20:30 > 0:20:33wasn't famous ten years ago would get a big score like that.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38Absolutely. Now, Samarth, what would you like to go for?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42OK. I'm going to go for Victoria Pendleton.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Victoria Pendleton, says Samarth.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45Let's see if that's right.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Let's see how many of our 100 people said Victoria Pendleton.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54That is right. 34 is the only score we have at the moment.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55And you passed it.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Victoria Pendleton, 27. APPLAUSE
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Not bad at all.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Two golds and a silver for Victoria Pendleton.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Since she retired, she's become a jockey.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- I know.- Which is a genuinely terrifying thing to do.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10It's a more comfortable saddle. LAUGHTER
0:21:10 > 0:21:12I suppose so.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- Is it? I don't know. - I don't know, I don't know.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Yeah, maybe it is.- Maybe.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18There we are. Alison.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Yes.- Now do you follow cycling?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I don't. I have several friends
0:21:25 > 0:21:29that will be shouting at the television right now,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32but my two preferred answers have gone.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34But I'm going to go for Chris Hoy.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Chris Hoy, says Alison.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Let's see how many of our 100 people said Chris Hoy.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45It's right. 34, still our high score at this point, 27 our low.
0:21:45 > 0:21:4749 for Sir Chris Hoy. APPLAUSE
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Six golds and one silver for Chris Hoy.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Again, I think he's got the joint most golds of any male Olympian.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Thanks very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Let's have a quick look at those scores
0:22:02 > 0:22:03before we come back up the board.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Samarth, well done, 27. The lowest score of the pass.
0:22:06 > 0:22:0834 is where we find Emily and Jenny.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11And 49 is where we find Alison and Andrew.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14I hope you've got a nice low score, Andrew, to keep you in the game.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Have we all got enough cyclists to come back down the line
0:22:16 > 0:22:18without having to wrack our brains too much?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20We're going to come back down the line now.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:24 > 0:22:29OK. So, Andrew, yes, it's cyclists, Olympic cyclists.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Yes, not terrific for me either, I'm afraid.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36As you say, some of the easy ones have gone.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38I'm going to say Jason Kenny.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Jason Kenny, says Andrew.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jason Kenney.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46No red line for you, cos you're currently the high scorers.
0:22:55 > 0:22:5723. Not bad at all. APPLAUSE
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Takes your total up to 72.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Yeah, six golds and one silver also for Jason Kenny,
0:23:04 > 0:23:05exactly the same as Chris Hoy.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08And obviously he's famously in a relationship with Laura Trott,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10who has just scored 11 more points than him.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14But given neither of them are competitive,
0:23:14 > 0:23:15- I'm sure that'll be fine. - LAUGHTER
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Thanks very much, Richard.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18Now, Karan.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22It starts to get quite interesting at this point, I think.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24You're on 27. The high scorers are behind you.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29Andrew and Alison on 72, so 44 or less is your target.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30So I'm at the stage
0:23:30 > 0:23:33where I'm starting to draw a bit of a blank mentally,
0:23:33 > 0:23:36and I'm worried I'm going to pick someone from the wrong discipline.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37But...
0:23:39 > 0:23:40..Bradley Wiggins.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Bradley Wiggins, says Karan.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44Here is your red line.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46If you can get below that with Bradley Wiggins,
0:23:46 > 0:23:47you are through to the next round.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Interesting to see what happens.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Bradley Wiggins. How many of our 100 people said it?
0:23:54 > 0:23:55It's right.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58APPLAUSE
0:23:59 > 0:24:0258 for Bradley Wiggins.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03Takes your total up to 85.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Five golds, one silver and two bronzes,
0:24:06 > 0:24:10the only cyclist ever to win medals in five consecutive games,
0:24:10 > 0:24:12and the only British Olympian ever to win eight medals.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15- Amazing.- Sir Bradley.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- Sir Bradley.- Yep.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19There we are. Sir Bradley. Now, Jenny.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Jenny, I saw the look on your face when cycling came up.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26And I'm going to say now, it didn't look...
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Really, you were laughing. But you were laughing in a way
0:24:29 > 0:24:31that suggested you weren't particularly happy,
0:24:31 > 0:24:32that kind of laugh.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35What would you like to go for?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Look, 50 or less gets you through.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38OK.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41I'm going to go for Joanna Rowsell.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Joanna Rowsell. OK. If you get below that red line with Joanna Rowsell,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47you are through to the head-to-head.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53It's right.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56You are through.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59I think that's going to be a good score, down it goes.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Look at that, down to three, Jenny.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Very well done indeed. APPLAUSE
0:25:04 > 0:25:0537 is your total.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09That's a very good answer, yeah, very well played.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12A few obvious-ish ones that were still left out.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Mark Cavendish would have scored you 13.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15Chris Boardman, 26.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Chris Froome would have been a good answer, 30 points for that.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20You would have got two for Lizzie Armitstead and Jason Queally,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22both good answers.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25One point for Wendy Houvenaghel, Ed Clancy, Geraint Thomas,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Nicole Cooke, Paul Manning, Dani King, Rebecca Romero,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Becky James and Katy Marchant.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31And let's take a look at some of the Pointless answers.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Callum Skinner, Elinor Barker, both gold medallists.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Emma Pooley is a Pointless answer, well done if you said her.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44Katie Archibald, Max Sciandri. Rode many Tour de Frances, Max Sciandri.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Philip Hindes, won two golds, Philip Hindes.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Robin Croker, Steve Cummings, still cycling now.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Yvonne McGregor, who was 39 when she won her bronze medal in 2000.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55So loads of Pointless answers there,
0:25:55 > 0:25:56and we've already heard the top three.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Bradley Wiggins, Chris Hoy, and Laura Trott.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01So at the end of our second round,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03the pair we have to send home with their high score of 85
0:26:03 > 0:26:06is Karan and Samarth, I'm afraid, yes, that was...
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Nothing wrong with either of your answers there, but they were just,
0:26:09 > 0:26:10it was just a high-scoring round for you.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Anyhow, I'm sure you'll go much further
0:26:12 > 0:26:15when you come back next time. We'll look forward to that very much.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Meantime, thank you very much, Karan and Samarth.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18APPLAUSE
0:26:20 > 0:26:23But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Congratulations, Emily and Jenny, Alison and Andrew,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32you are now one step closer to the final,
0:26:32 > 0:26:36and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £1,000.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38But the big news is we've arrived at the head-to-head,
0:26:38 > 0:26:40which means you can now confer before giving answers.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42And the first pair to win two questions
0:26:42 > 0:26:43will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47APPLAUSE
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Here is your first question.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55And it concerns...
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- Richard.- We're simply going to show you five stills now
0:27:00 > 0:27:04from science-fiction films. Can you identify the films, please?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Let's reveal our five stills.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40There we are. Five stills from science-fiction films.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Emily and Jenny, you're our low scorers so you will go first.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45I think it's going to be quite high scoring...
0:27:45 > 0:27:47What's the other one you know?
0:27:48 > 0:27:50I think D might be Alien.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51Right.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54I don't think...
0:27:55 > 0:27:56No, I think we should go for E.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58I'm certain it's right.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01We're going to go for E, Blade Runner.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Blade Runner, E, say Emily and Jenny.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Now then, Alison And Andrew, Over to you.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Do you feel like talking us through all those stills?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10I shall try.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12I think A is The Martian.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15We think B is The Fifth Element.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17D is Alien.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20I think we'll try C, which...
0:28:20 > 0:28:22we think is Moon.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26You're going to go for Moon. So we have Blade Runner and Moon.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Emily and Jenny said Blade Runner for E.
0:28:28 > 0:28:29Let's see if that's right.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Let's see how many of our 100 people got it.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35It is right.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39That's a nice low score,
0:28:39 > 0:28:40down it goes to 19. APPLAUSE
0:28:40 > 0:28:41Very well done.
0:28:44 > 0:28:4519 for Blade Runner.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51Meanwhile, Alison and Andrew have gone for Moon for C.
0:28:51 > 0:28:52Let's see if that's right.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Let's see how many of our 100 people said Moon.
0:28:57 > 0:28:58It's right.
0:29:03 > 0:29:04And it wins you the point.
0:29:04 > 0:29:05Look at that, down it goes to seven!
0:29:05 > 0:29:07APPLAUSE Very well done indeed.
0:29:07 > 0:29:08Seven for Moon.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Which means, Alison and Andrew, after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Oh, this is going to be a very good head-to-head I think.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16We've got two very, very strong pairs here, haven't we?
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Very well played. We will fill in the rest of these.
0:29:19 > 0:29:20A. Have you seen A?
0:29:20 > 0:29:23That is... It is The Martian, isn't it?
0:29:23 > 0:29:25- It is The Martian, yeah.- Looks a little bit like Tim Robbins there.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28It would have scored 30. Do you think? Well, that's Matt Damon,
0:29:28 > 0:29:30but I always get Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg mixed up.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- Yes.- I can sit through whole Matt Damon films thinking it's Mark Wahlberg
0:29:33 > 0:29:34- and vice versa.- Absolutely.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- It's a good film actually, The Martian.- It is a good film.
0:29:37 > 0:29:38B is The Fifth Element.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40You're quite right. Gary Oldman there.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42That would have scored you 12 points.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49And D, as you say, with a face hugger there,
0:29:49 > 0:29:50that is Alien.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Yeah.
0:29:52 > 0:29:53That would have scored you 43.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55That's the biggest score up there.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56Mm-hm.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00So here comes your second question.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Alison and Andrew, you get to answer it first,
0:30:02 > 0:30:03but actually it's Emily and Jenny
0:30:03 > 0:30:05who need to win this one to stay in the game, so good luck.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09Our second question today is all about...
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- Richard.- Yep, simply going to give you five clues now,
0:30:13 > 0:30:14some facts about famous London landmarks.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16BROAD COCKNEY ACCENT: London landmarks!
0:30:16 > 0:30:17LAUGHTER
0:30:17 > 0:30:20OK, let's reveal our London landmarks. And here they are.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43I shall read those all again.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Alison and Andrew will go first.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Downing Street...
0:31:11 > 0:31:12Yeah... We think we'll go for the bottom one,
0:31:12 > 0:31:15the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury,
0:31:15 > 0:31:17as Downing Street.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Downing Street, say Alison and Andrew.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Downing Street. Now then, Emily and Jenny, that board is all yours.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Talk us through it.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27I don't know which skyscraper was in 2010, no.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29I think I know the second one.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33It was built to commemorate the Great Fire of London, isn't it?
0:31:33 > 0:31:36I can picture it, but I don't know what it's called.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- But it's just the disaster that we need to...- Oh, OK.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41That was the Fire of London.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Take a punt on number one, London, or should we go for Pudding Lane?
0:31:46 > 0:31:48- Let's go for Pudding Lane.- OK.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51So the third one, Pudding Lane, it was the Great Fire of London.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53The Great Fire of London.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55So we have Downing Street and the Great Fire of London.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58In the order they were given, Alison and Andrew said Downing Street.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05It is Downing Street.
0:32:09 > 0:32:1032. Not bad. APPLAUSE
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Emily and Jenny meanwhile have gone for the Great Fire of London.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19Let's see if that's right.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25It's right.
0:32:28 > 0:32:2947. APPLAUSE
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Very well done indeed.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Alison and Andrew, after only two questions,
0:32:35 > 0:32:37you are straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Yeah, very well played. Downing Street's a good answer.
0:32:40 > 0:32:41Do you know which number at Downing Street
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- the First Lord of the Treasury lives in?- Number ten.
0:32:44 > 0:32:45Number ten. Yeah. Cos it's...
0:32:45 > 0:32:46It's the Prime Minister.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Simply another name for that.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Now, Jenny, you were going to have a go at...
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Number one, London. Yeah, I think it's Lambeth Palace.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55- Ooh.- Ooh. It's Apsley House.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- Oh, good.- Apsley House. That's a relief, isn't it?
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- Yeah.- Cos actually it would have scored you four points.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02It's the best answer on that board.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05The Renzo Piano-designed skyscraper is...
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- The Shard.- ..is The Shard. Yep, absolutely right.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10It's a big scorer as well. 45 points.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12His grandfather invented the piano.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Which is why he builds big buildings, cos he feels under...
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- There's a lot of pressure on him. - Yeah.- What does piano mean again?
0:33:18 > 0:33:19- Quiet.- So, piano is soft, right?
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- Soft.- Quiet. So he's called Renzo Quiet?
0:33:22 > 0:33:24- Renzo, quiet, shh. - Quite nice, isn't it?
0:33:24 > 0:33:26- And then he builds a massive skyscraper.- I know.
0:33:26 > 0:33:27That's cos he's so quiet.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29He was planning it all along.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31One thing, the thing about the Shard,
0:33:31 > 0:33:34which makes me think, if that's just the Shard,
0:33:34 > 0:33:36how big must be building be that it comes from?
0:33:36 > 0:33:37LAUGHTER
0:33:37 > 0:33:38- That's true.- It's a big thing.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- Like a space building. - Yeah, exactly.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42- Whoa.- Renzo Piano's up to something.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44- Isn't he?- If only he was noisier.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Renzo Forte, his brother.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Yes. Oh, my, that guy never shuts up.
0:33:48 > 0:33:49- Yeah, never.- Yeah.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53- Renzo Piano.- He makes little buildings out of grains of rice.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55- Does he, Renzo Forte? - LAUGHTER
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Very cool. Renzo Piano of course works in a library, doesn't he?
0:33:58 > 0:33:59LAUGHTER
0:33:59 > 0:34:02And the design... Do you know the designer of the four bronze lions?
0:34:02 > 0:34:05No, I'm just trying to think of...
0:34:05 > 0:34:06Put an age on it, it's got to be...
0:34:06 > 0:34:08I can't... Oh, no.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10- Edwin Landseer.- Landseer.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- There we are. - Would have scored you six points.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15So well done if you said Apsley House.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16Thank you very much.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Would you have got Apsley House?
0:34:18 > 0:34:19I knew Apsley House.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20Your childhood home.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21LAUGHTER
0:34:23 > 0:34:25But that's the address, it's number one, London.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27- It is number one London. - That's quite cool, isn't it?
0:34:27 > 0:34:29That is cool. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31We are at the end of our head-to-head round.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33It was a 2-0 head-to-head round.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35And I'm so sorry, Emily and Jenny,
0:34:35 > 0:34:38we've had such a great performance from you across the show today.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40But you came up against Alison and Andrew,
0:34:40 > 0:34:43and these particular questions, I'm afraid.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45And I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you.
0:34:45 > 0:34:46It's been great having you on both shows.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Thank you so much for playing. Emily and Jenny, great contestants.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- APPLAUSE - Good luck.- Thank you!
0:34:51 > 0:34:54But for Alison and Andrew, it is now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Well, congratulations, Alison and Andrew.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03You have seen off all the competition
0:35:03 > 0:35:06and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16At the end of today's show,
0:35:16 > 0:35:19the jackpot is standing at a majestic £1,000.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21There it is. Well, very impressive indeed.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24A stealth raid on our trophy cabinet.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27In you come, just one show, 2-0 in the head-to-head,
0:35:27 > 0:35:30snatch the trophy, and back you go to Stockport.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31Wouldn't it be nice though,
0:35:31 > 0:35:33just a little cherry on the cake,
0:35:33 > 0:35:35to win that jackpot as well, to take back with you?
0:35:35 > 0:35:36Anything in particular
0:35:36 > 0:35:39you would like to see come up in this last round?
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Unfortunately, probably science-fiction films,
0:35:41 > 0:35:44but hopefully it may come up again.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46- That would be good.- You never know.
0:35:46 > 0:35:47- No.- You never know.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Alison, what would you like to add to that?
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Ladies barbershop. I don't think that's an option, but...
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Ladies barbershop. What you mean, don't think it's an option?
0:35:54 > 0:35:56- Of course it could be! - Could still happen.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59It could be. Close harmony singing of one kind or another.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02- Yeah.- Oh, that would be great.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Let's see. Let's see what's going to be on the board behind me.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Best of luck. Let's hope there's something up there
0:36:06 > 0:36:09you like the look of. Today's selection reads like this.
0:36:09 > 0:36:10We have got...
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- What do you think? - I don't know.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19Big films?
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Big films or US crime writers.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25Yeah. I feel big films is probably going to be more...
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- Yeah.- ..in line with your knowledge base.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Shall we go for that?
0:36:29 > 0:36:31- Let's try it. - We'll go for big films.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Big films.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34Very best of luck. Richard.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Yeah, you've been terrific all the way through.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37Fingers crossed this works for you.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Looking for any of the following three things, please.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Anyone who was cast in one of the following three films
0:36:42 > 0:36:44according to IMDB.
0:36:53 > 0:36:54So according to IMDB,
0:36:54 > 0:36:57any actor who appeared in Big, The Big Lebowski, or The Big Short.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- Very best of luck.- Thank you very much indeed. Now, as always,
0:37:00 > 0:37:02you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of your answers
0:37:05 > 0:37:06to be Pointless.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- Are you ready? - Yes.- Yes.- Very good.
0:37:08 > 0:37:09Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15OK, so Big Lebowski, Steve Buscemi.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19We saw The Big Short, didn't we?
0:37:19 > 0:37:20The Big Short's Amy Adams and...
0:37:20 > 0:37:22- No, that's the other one. - No, it's the money one.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24The Big Short's the money one.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Karen Gillan's in The Big Short.
0:37:26 > 0:37:27Karen Gillan's a good answer.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- Big...- I think that's...
0:37:31 > 0:37:33- I think that's for the best. - Steve Carell's in The Big Short.
0:37:34 > 0:37:35Christian Bale.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41I think Karen Gillan's the best one we're going to get
0:37:41 > 0:37:43from The Big Short, from our list.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- Yeah.- I think Big is...
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Well, besides Tom Hanks, I'm struggling for anybody else on that.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Yeah, I'm not going to get anywhere other than Tom Hanks.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52But go back to The Big Lebowski then.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- Well, Steve Carell, Karen Gillan... - Yeah.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- I don't think we've even seen The Big Lebowski.- That's true.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01I think we'll have to watch that one now.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Ten seconds left.- Not now! - THEY LAUGH
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- No.- OK, so shall we go for three from The Big Short then?
0:38:07 > 0:38:09So Karen Gillan, Steve Carell...
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- We'll say Steve Buscemi from The Big Lebowski.- Steve Buscemi, OK, yeah.
0:38:12 > 0:38:13OK, that is your time up.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14Let's have your three answers.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18OK. From The Big Lebowski, we'll say Steve Buscemi.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Steve Buscemi, yeah.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Yeah. From The Big Short, Steven Carell.
0:38:23 > 0:38:24Steven Carell...
0:38:24 > 0:38:26- And Karen Gillan.- And Karen Gillan.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Of those three, which is your best shot at a Pointless answer?
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- Karen Gillan.- Yeah.- OK, Karen Gillan. We'll put her last.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Least likely to be Pointless?
0:38:34 > 0:38:36- Steve Buscemi. - Probably Steve Buscemi.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Steve Buscemi, we'll put first.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39OK. Steve Carell in the middle.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43And here they are. We have got...
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Well, three good answers on the board, there.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Now, if one of these turns out to be Pointless and wins you that jackpot,
0:38:53 > 0:38:55what would you like to do with your winnings?
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Alison, you first.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59We're getting married,
0:38:59 > 0:39:01so I think it would probably go towards...
0:39:01 > 0:39:04a pretty exceptional honeymoon.
0:39:04 > 0:39:05Very nice. Very nice indeed.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- Andrew?- Well, yes, it's the same for me.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09LAUGHTER
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Well, very, very best of luck. Three good answers I would say.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Steve Buscemi was your first answer.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16In this case, we were looking for cast members from The Big Lebowski.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18If this turns out to be Pointless, it will win you £1,000.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20How many people said Steve Buscemi?
0:39:24 > 0:39:25It's right.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28If Steve Buscemi takes us all the way down to zero,
0:39:28 > 0:39:30you will leave here immediately with £1,000.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Down we go, through the 20s,
0:39:32 > 0:39:34into the teens, into single figures,
0:39:34 > 0:39:35we're still going down with Steve Buscemi.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Still going down... to three. CROWD GROANS
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Look at that. Not bad at all. APPLAUSE
0:39:41 > 0:39:43As a first answer,
0:39:43 > 0:39:44that's really not bad.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Three is a great score. Sadly, not Pointless.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49We move onto Steve Carell, your next answer.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52In this case we were looking for cast members from The Big Short.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55If Steve Carell is Pointless, you leave with £1,000.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57How many people said Steve Carell?
0:40:01 > 0:40:02It's right.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Steve Buscemi took us all the way down to three.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Steve Carell now takes us down through the 20s,
0:40:08 > 0:40:09we're into the teens.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Are we going to make single figures?
0:40:11 > 0:40:12Yes, we are. Still going down,
0:40:12 > 0:40:13still going down... Five!
0:40:13 > 0:40:15For Steve Carell. APPLAUSE
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Not bad at all. Still a lovely low score there.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Quite a big part in The Big Short, Steve Carell. Anyway, there we are.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Only five of our 100 people remembered Steve Carell.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Now we move on to your third and final answer, Karen Gillan.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32You had absolutely no hesitation putting this as your last answer,
0:40:32 > 0:40:35the one you thought was your best shot at a Pointless answer.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36Let us find out,
0:40:36 > 0:40:39cos we were looking in this case for members
0:40:39 > 0:40:40of the cast of The Big Short.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44Karen Gillan. If it's Pointless, it will win you £1,000.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45How many of our 100 people said it?
0:40:48 > 0:40:50It's right.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53So Steve Buscemi took us all the way down to three,
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Steve Carell then took us down to five.
0:40:55 > 0:40:56Karan Gillan now takes us down,
0:40:56 > 0:40:58through the teens, and into single figures,
0:40:58 > 0:41:00down we go. Passing five, passing three.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Beautiful. Very well done indeed. CHEERING
0:41:03 > 0:41:06APPLAUSE Brilliant!
0:41:07 > 0:41:09- Very well done.- Thank you. - Thank you.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12THEY LAUGH APPLAUSE
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Oh, congratulations!
0:41:16 > 0:41:17Karen Gillan is a Pointless answer,
0:41:17 > 0:41:20which means you go home with our jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Very well done indeed, Alison and Andrew.
0:41:22 > 0:41:23APPLAUSE
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Well, I said in the first round
0:41:26 > 0:41:27you were playing Pointless faultlessly,
0:41:27 > 0:41:29and you continued to do it all the way through,
0:41:29 > 0:41:31right through to putting your Pointless answer
0:41:31 > 0:41:33as the last one as well, which is what we always like.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36It increases the tension, so very, very well played.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Karen Gillan perhaps best known over here still for Doctor Who,
0:41:38 > 0:41:40and I think your tie is a Doctor Who reference,
0:41:40 > 0:41:41- is it not?- Yes, it is,
0:41:41 > 0:41:44this tie is the pattern of the Fourth Doctor's scarf, so...
0:41:44 > 0:41:45How about that? They will love that.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48There are a number of people who will love that at home.
0:41:48 > 0:41:49Let's take a look at the Pointless answers
0:41:49 > 0:41:52in all the different categories. We'll start with the film Big.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Tom Hanks plays Josh in that film.
0:41:54 > 0:41:55David Moscow plays the young Josh.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Jared Rushton plays his best friend Billy.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Josh Clark and Mercedes Ruehl, his mum and dad.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03The only scorers in that were Tom Hanks, John Heard,
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Robert Loggia and Elizabeth Perkins.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Everyone else was a Pointless answer.
0:42:07 > 0:42:08The Big Lebowski.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11David Thewlis, Flea from Red Hot Chilli Peppers,
0:42:11 > 0:42:13John Turturro is a Pointless answer.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Tara Reid. Everyone Pointless there apart from Jeff Bridges,
0:42:16 > 0:42:19John Goodman, Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi, Philip Seymour Hoffman
0:42:19 > 0:42:21and David Huddleston. Everyone else was Pointless.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23And The Big Short.
0:42:24 > 0:42:25You could have had Casey Groves,
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Karen Gillan, very well done...
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Marisa Tomei. Rafe Spall, another terrific British actor.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Everyone Pointless there apart from Christian Bale, Steve Carell,
0:42:33 > 0:42:34Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Congratulations. You make a lovely couple.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40And very best of luck for the wedding and the honeymoon
0:42:40 > 0:42:43and all of that. Please take our £1,000 with our very best wishes.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46- Thank you.- Thank you. - Thanks very much, Richard,
0:42:46 > 0:42:48and thanks once again to our winning players, Alison and Andrew,
0:42:48 > 0:42:50who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:42:50 > 0:42:51Very well done.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53APPLAUSE
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to
0:42:58 > 0:43:00the test on Pointless. Meanwhile it's goodbye from Richard...
0:43:00 > 0:43:01Goodbye.
0:43:01 > 0:43:02And it's goodbye from me.
