0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the show where obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:28 > 0:00:30and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33APPLAUSE
0:00:35 > 0:00:37And couple number one.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Hello, I'm Ben, this is my friend Michael, and we're from London.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Couple number two.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hello, I'm Trudy, this is my son Andy, and we're from Harrow.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46- Couple number three.- Hello, I'm Sarah, this is my friend Mary,
0:00:46 > 0:00:48and we're from south Manchester.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50And finally couple number four.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hello, I'm Will, this is my lovely wife Polly,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55and we're from the village of Sutton Bonnington in Nottinghamshire.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants. APPLAUSE
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Thanks very much, all of you, a very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Lovely to have you here. We'll get a chance to chat to each of you
0:01:03 > 0:01:05throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11He's the perfect addition to any pub quiz team -
0:01:11 > 0:01:12if all you're missing is a mascot.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18APPLAUSE
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23This is like a game of Pointless All-Stars,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25this is going to be an absolute cracker.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27We've got two returning pairs coming back.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Two of them have given us pointless answers on the previous show.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Trudy and Andy got all the way through to the head-to-head.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Very unlucky to get knocked out on the head-to-head as well.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Really, really strong pair.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41And Will and Polly got knocked out in Round Two on eight points,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43on our round about chemical elements,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45and Will gave us a pointless answer in that round as well.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48So two very, very strong pairs I'm afraid, newcomers.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51But what if the newcomers are awesome as well?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- I know.- It's going to be extraordinary, isn't it?
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- I know.- Samarth and Karan, who beat Trudy and Andy in that head-to-head,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59and a really, really good jackpot round, wasn't it?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02And they gave us exactly the sort of pointless answer we like,
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Fyodor Dostoevsky.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Lovely, made everyone look classy,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08makes the show look classy when someone says Dostoevsky
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- and it's a pointless answer. - And it was a pointless answer.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13It was a pointless answer - although they chose not to go with it.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- TRUDY GASPS - I know. Listen...
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Oh, Trudy, it's sad. Isn't it a shame?
0:02:17 > 0:02:18LAUGHTER
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Shocking.- It's a shame, isn't it? - Real shame.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23But, no, great show last time, great show this time, nice jackpot,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26and two people here have contributed to that jackpot as well,
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- so let's get going, shall we? - Let's do it.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Thank you very much indeed. The point of this is that
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Karan and Samarth didn't win the jackpot last time
0:02:33 > 0:02:36so we start off with a jackpot that we're adding another £1,000 to
0:02:36 > 0:02:39from the previous jackpot. And it is a jackpot of £2,750.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41APPLAUSE
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47APPLAUSE
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Remember, the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:53 > 0:02:55will be eliminated. That's it - the only rule you have to remember.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Other than that, very best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Our first category this afternoon is...
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Can you all decide in your pairs
0:03:04 > 0:03:06who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:18 > 0:03:19Richard.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21On each board we're going to show you seven names of
0:03:21 > 0:03:23literary villains or antiheroes,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25you just need to tell us what book they came from, please.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28We're also going to show you the author and initials of the book.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Seven on the first board, seven on the second,
0:03:30 > 0:03:3114 in all to have a go at at home.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- Very best of luck. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35So we are looking for the book from which
0:03:35 > 0:03:38these villains or antiheroes have stepped.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40And here is our first board of seven. We have got...
0:03:59 > 0:04:01I'll read those all again.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- Ben, welcome. - Thank you very much.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here. What do you do, Ben?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I work for a telecoms company looking after mobile apps.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Right. How long have you done this for?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29About a year, just coming up to.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Has your little department of the telecommunications company
0:04:31 > 0:04:33been going for long?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- I'm starting it, so... - It's your thing, I was going to say,
0:04:36 > 0:04:38cos quite often it sounds like quite a new thing.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41And presumably it'll only be there for a few years, then you'll be
0:04:41 > 0:04:43bought up by someone else, or you'll go off to something else.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Perhaps.- A very exciting but constantly changing world.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Indeed, yeah.- The world of apps. What sort of apps are you doing?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51So my team makes apps for our customers.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53So we have a few.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56I look after our main one and the business has a couple as well.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01That's exciting. Now, Ben, we want the names of these books.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Which would you like to go for?
0:05:02 > 0:05:07I think I know a few of them, but I'm going to go with Mrs Coulter
0:05:07 > 0:05:08and I think that's Northern Lights.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Northern Lights, says Ben.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Let's see how many of our 100 people said Northern Lights.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16It's right.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Good answer, Ben, look at that, down to 21.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Very good indeed. Northern Lights, great start to the show.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27APPLAUSE
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Nice start, Ben, well played.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Yeah, the first of the His Dark Materials trilogy.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Indeed. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- Trudy, welcome back.- Hello.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Remind us what you like getting up to in Harrow, Trudy.
0:05:38 > 0:05:44I'm retired but I am a trained bereavement visitor
0:05:44 > 0:05:48and I am on the fundraising committee of that particular group
0:05:48 > 0:05:52and we organise quizzes and bridge lunches.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54How long do your bridge afternoons go on to?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56What time do people tend to finish?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Well, we do it at lunch, so it's going to be from about 10.30.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Coffee and biscuits, of course.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Then we play, then we break for lunch.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09There's probably tea and biscuits as well, so I think about 4.30.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12OK, and is there a natural pause in the game at that point
0:06:12 > 0:06:16or do some people want to just keep on playing until the small hours?
0:06:16 > 0:06:22Well, those who are addicted, and there are plenty, can play 24/7.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- Yeah, I bet.- No, you mustn't do that.- You mustn't do that.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28That's crazy. They wouldn't play... They'd play all week?
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- 24/7? I doubt that.- With just bridge rolls to keep them going as well.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34LAUGHTER
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Trudy, what would you like to go for on our board?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38I'm going to go for the second one down,
0:06:38 > 0:06:40American Psycho.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41American Psycho, says Trudy.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Let's see how many of our 100 people said American Psycho.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Well, 21 is our only score at this point.
0:06:53 > 0:06:5515, very well done indeed.
0:06:55 > 0:06:5715, lovely score there.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59APPLAUSE
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Nothing like a silent first letter to throw people off the scent.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Yes, the AP, absolutely.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Trudy starting off as she left off last show as well,
0:07:06 > 0:07:08very well played, it's a good answer.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11He is driven mad by a bridge marathon.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Finally sends him over the top.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17- Mary, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Lovely to have you here from south Manchester.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Yes.- What keeps you busy in south Manchester?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25I'm retired now, I'm a retired theatre sister.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28We've a grandson now,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31just one and a half so we've started to look after him a few days a week,
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- a couple of days a week. - Very nice, what's his name?
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- Joseph.- He might well be with you watching this in fact, Joseph.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Hi, Joseph.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Very good indeed. What do you like getting up to in your...?
0:07:41 > 0:07:45I enjoy reading, doing crosswords, going to the cinema, gardening
0:07:45 > 0:07:48but, erm, I'm also very active in our local church.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Very good indeed. OK, now, Mary, what about all these books?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54How are you finding our list?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57The two that I'm definite of now I think are going to be high.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00And the one I'm not sure of, with the scores that there are,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03I think I might... I don't know what to do.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Jane Austen, Mansfield Park.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Mansfield Park, says Mary, for Jane Austen.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Mansfield Park.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15It's right. Well, 21 is the high score.
0:08:15 > 0:08:1815 the low at this point.
0:08:18 > 0:08:2021, there you are, you're joining Ben and Michael.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Nice place to be, 21.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25APPLAUSE
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Well played, Mary.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Henry Crawford, he's a wealthy cad.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Thank you very much, Richard.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Now, Will, welcome back.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Thank you. - Welcome back to Pointless.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Here from Nottinghamshire.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40What keeps you busy in Nottinghamshire, Will?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Well, I'm retired.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43What did you do before you retired?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I worked in coal-fired power generation.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Right you are. What do you like getting up to now?
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Like Trudy, Polly and I, we like to play bridge.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57I do a lot of gardening, walking the dog,
0:08:57 > 0:09:01and I'm a volunteer driver for our local community bus.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Very good indeed.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Have you been playing bridge in the green room before?
0:09:05 > 0:09:06No. We couldn't find...
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Sometimes you don't know who's going to get the call-up.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Could have made up a four.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13I don't know if Andy plays, but...
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- I don't. - LAUGHTER
0:09:15 > 0:09:18He said that a little bit too firmly I think, didn't he?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- He doesn't sound very keen, does he? - Not entirely.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Surely there must be someone else, maybe from a future game
0:09:23 > 0:09:25you could bring in to build up a four.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Anyway, Will, lovely to have you back.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29It was Round Two we said goodbye to you last time
0:09:29 > 0:09:31so we've got to be hoping we see you
0:09:31 > 0:09:33in the head-to-head and beyond today.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Would you like to talk us through this board
0:09:35 > 0:09:36and do all the mopping up?
0:09:36 > 0:09:41My worry is the only ones I know I think are going to be high scorers.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43The top one is Animal Farm.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45And then we've got Treasure Island,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48and the bottom one, 1,001 Dalmatians. Erm...
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I'll go Animal Farm.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53OK, Animal Farm.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Animal Farm.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Well, 21 is the high score at this point...
0:10:03 > 0:10:0664 comes up on the board.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Tough to find yourself in that position, Will.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- 64 for Animal Farm. - Well done, Will.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14It's a better answer than Treasure Island
0:10:14 > 0:10:16cos Treasure Island would have scored you more points.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19It would have scored you 81.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21It's definitely a better answer than 1,001 Dalmatians
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- cos that would've scored you 100. - That's a lot of Dalmatians!
0:10:24 > 0:10:27But I can see with the initials why you went for it.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- The 101...- The 101 Dalmatians. - Oh!- Would have scored 47.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33That's the sort of thing that can knock you out so easily.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- I don't know where the other 900 came from.- Exactly.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40I'd tell you exactly where they came from but maybe not at tea-time.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43And the best answer on the board, the Samuel Richardson novel...
0:10:43 > 0:10:44- Is Clarissa.- Clarissa.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47That would have scored three points, very well done if you said that.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Thank you very much indeed, Richard. We're halfway through the round,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53let's take a quick look at those scores.
0:10:53 > 0:10:5615, Trudy, once again the best answer posted on the podiums
0:10:56 > 0:10:57at this stage of the round.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Then up to 21 where we find Ben and Michael, Mary and Sarah,
0:11:00 > 0:11:02quite a party going on at 21.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Then up to 64, where we find Will and Polly.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Now, Polly, you will have a lovely fresh, clean board.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10From it, make sure you find a nice low-scoring answer.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Good luck. We're going to come back down the line.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Let's put seven more hints at book titles up on the board
0:11:22 > 0:11:24and here they are.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I shall read those all again.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Polly, welcome back to Pointless.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Now then, last time,
0:12:07 > 0:12:11we discovered that one of the many jobs you have done was
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- a course in hen keeping. - That's right.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16What else? What are these other jobs you've done?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Well, I play the piano badly, I play bridge a bit better,
0:12:19 > 0:12:22but most of my time now is spent
0:12:22 > 0:12:26with breeding and training chocolate Labradors.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Oh, I love chocolate Labradors. Mm!
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Now you're talking. I always say the answer to the question,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34what's your favourite dog is also the answer to the question,
0:12:34 > 0:12:36where would you most like to work?
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Chocolate lab.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39LAUGHTER
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Polly, now then. 64, you are the high scorers.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Let's hope there's a nice low scoring answer on that board that you know.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49There's one I definitely know and might be low,
0:12:49 > 0:12:54and there's another, which after my last performance,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I'm going to go for Hannibal Lecter and Red Dragon.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Red Dragon.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01You're getting a firm nod from Sarah and Mary.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05And now Will! Slightly late to the party, but Will has joined.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Red Dragon says Polly.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09No red line for you as you're the highest scorers.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Let's see how many of our 100 people said Red Dragon for Hannibal Lecter.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Now then, 15 is our low score.
0:13:18 > 0:13:2038 is what you get for Red Dragon.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23102 is your total.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25APPLAUSE
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Yeah, preceded Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31- Made into a film called Manhunter. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- Now, Sarah, welcome.- Hello.- Welcome, also here from south Manchester.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36What do you do, Sarah?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I'm a clinical scientist, I work in a hospital.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- Right, as a clinical scientist in a hospital?- That's right.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Do you work in a different department, in a laboratory?
0:13:44 > 0:13:47You would think that, but I'm quite unusual in what I do.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I coordinate an autologous blood transfusion service.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53I actually am in theatres, which is where I met Mary,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- and I recycle patients' blood when they're having major surgery.- I see.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59So the same blood that's come out of them gets processed
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- and then goes back in? - Yeah, it goes through a machine
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- and goes back in again.- See, that's clever. That's very clever, Sarah.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07And what do you like doing when not reprocessing blood?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10LAUGHTER Among other things!
0:14:12 > 0:14:14It takes a lot of my time cos I'm on call
0:14:14 > 0:14:16at least three or four nights a week.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19I have two teenage children, and so I'm a taxi driver.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I'm sure anybody with teenage children will understand that one.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27And, yeah, I'm also a director of my own spin out company as well so...
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Very good indeed. So, busy is the answer to that.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Now, Sarah, you're on 21. Lovely, low score from Mary
0:14:32 > 0:14:36in the first pass, which means 80 or less is your target.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- OK.- What would you like to go for? - I know a few of them,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41it's just a case of working out which one may be the lowest score.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46- Yes.- There's a couple there that I don't know. Oh, dear...
0:14:46 > 0:14:48I'll go for the Dickens,
0:14:48 > 0:14:49and go for The Old Curiosity Shop.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52The Old Curiosity Shop, says Sarah. Here's your red line.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54If you get below that with The Old Curiosity Shop,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57you are into Round Two. How many of our 100 people said it?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02It's right. And you're through, look at that.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07With plenty of room to spare. 24. Very good.
0:15:07 > 0:15:0945 is your total.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12APPLAUSE
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Well played, Sarah. Played by Toby Jones in the TV adaptation.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Thank you very much, Richard.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Now, then, Andy.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Welcome back to Pointless. Remind us of what you do, Andy.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25I'm in marketing. I do marketing for an insurance company.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26And when not marketing,
0:15:26 > 0:15:30you are keeping strict time at the back of a rock combo?
0:15:30 > 0:15:31- You're a drummer.- That's right.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33How often do you play?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- We normally rehearse once or twice a week.- That's good.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Yeah, and play, try and play live maybe once a month,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41once every couple of months.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42That's fun. How many of you in the band?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Four people.- Four. The normal combo number, then?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Yeah.- Excellent. Now, tell me this -
0:15:47 > 0:15:50do you play with any kind of ear defence?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- Yes.- This is vital.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I played the drums when I was little and now I can't hear anything.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I mean, everyone now plays with ear defenders, don't they?
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Yeah, you've got to. You've got to, really, it's pretty loud.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Terrible. Now, Andy...- Yes.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Fabulous low score from Trudy in the first pass
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- leaves you with a target of 86. - Mm-hm.- 86?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12That's almost free rein.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14What would you like to go for?
0:16:14 > 0:16:18OK, I think I'm going to go for Roald Dahl,
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Agatha Trunchbull, Matilda.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Matilda, says Andy.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Matilda. Here is your red line.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25If you get below this red line with Matilda, you're in Round Two.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32It's right, and you're through. Well done. Trudy and Andy sail on.
0:16:32 > 0:16:3662, gets your total up to 77.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Yeah, have you seen the musical in the West End of Matilda?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- Do you know, I'm ashamed to say I haven't.- It's good.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- You should take the kids. - Yeah, we must do.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- The kids have seen it. - Oh, have they?- I haven't, yeah.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- Oh, perfect. - Oh, they've been.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Oh, they loved it. There we go, thank you very much, Richard.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Now, Michael, welcome to Pointless. - Hi!- Good to have you here.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- What do you do, Michael?- I'm an accountant for a media company.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58And being media, do you mean sort of televisual media,
0:16:58 > 0:17:00or is it sort of magazine publishing?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Magazines, print...- I see. - ..websites.- That's interesting,
0:17:03 > 0:17:05isn't it? Interesting kinds of figures you're dealing with.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- If you're going to be an accountant...- Is what I'm thinking.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- Yeah.- If you're going to be an accountant...
0:17:09 > 0:17:12That's what I don't understand sometimes about people
0:17:12 > 0:17:13with accountancy qualifications.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16You can work anywhere, so I don't know why anyone chooses to be
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- an accountant in somewhere boring. - In an accountancy firm.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Yeah.- Why not work in an industry you like?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23You could be an accountant for a chocolate biscuit factory.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- Yes, that's what I would do. - You could. Yeah.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Oh, can you imagine?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Michael. Now on 21. There we are.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35You have the same target as Sarah and Mary had, which is 80.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38This board is all yours. Do you want to talk us through it?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40The first one there is The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Don't know the third one down. So I'm going to go for number four,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- The Da Vinci Code.- And that's the answer you're going to go for?
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Here is your red line.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Let's see how far down the column we get with The Da Vinci Code.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56It's right. And you're through, well done.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00There you are, nothing to worry about, 49...
0:18:01 > 0:18:03..is your score. 70 is your total.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05APPLAUSE
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Yeah, safe and sound, you were right about
0:18:07 > 0:18:11The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe as well, up the top there, CS Lewis.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13That would have scored you 69 points.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- Alex is...- A Clockwork Orange. - A Clockwork Orange.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17That would have scored you 17.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20This is the best answer on the board.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Now, it's a wonderful film.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Billy Wilder made a film of this, and the book is brilliant,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28and it's an amazing story.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Double Indemnity. Double Indemnity, and it's a pointless answer as well,
0:18:32 > 0:18:33so very well done if you said that.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Thank you very much indeed, Richard. We're at the end of our first round,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38and we have to say goodbye to one of our pairs.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Polly and Will!- Oh, dear. - Oh, I'm so sorry!
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Far too soon to be sending you home,
0:18:43 > 0:18:45but it's been lovely having you on both shows.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Thank you so much for playing, Polly and Will.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50APPLAUSE
0:18:51 > 0:18:54But for the remaining three pairs, it is now time for Round Two.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Just in case you haven't noticed, we are now down to three pairs.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05And at the end of this round, we'll be down to two pairs.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Trudy, unsurprisingly, the lowest individual scorer in that round.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Sarah and Mary, our lowest combined scorers,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14so good teamwork over there on the far podium.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Our category for Round 2 this afternoon is...
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Drink. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:19:23 > 0:19:25who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:19:40 > 0:19:42..as they could.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Top exporters of beer, Richard?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Yeah, we're looking for any of the countries who are in the top 30
0:19:47 > 0:19:50exporters of beer by value in 2015, please.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52This is according to Trade Map
0:19:52 > 0:19:55and their calculations based on the UN Comtrade statistics.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59So any country that is in the top 30 exporters of beer by value,
0:19:59 > 0:20:00other than the United Kingdom.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03As always, by country, we mean a sovereign state
0:20:03 > 0:20:05that's a member of the UN in its own right.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07And, as always, by beer, we mean beer.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Now, Michael, what would you like to go for?
0:20:14 > 0:20:15I'm going to go for the Netherlands.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17The Netherlands.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18The Netherlands, says Michael.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Let's see how many of our 100 people said the Netherlands.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28It's right. It could be rather a good answer.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Look at that, down to 34. Not bad at all, Michael.
0:20:30 > 0:20:3234 for the Netherlands.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35APPLAUSE
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Yeah, it's a good answer.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39They're actually the second-largest exporter, the Netherlands.
0:20:39 > 0:20:422 billion US dollars' worth of beer they export.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44There we are. Thank you, Richard.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46So, Trudy.
0:20:46 > 0:20:52OK, not really a beer drinker but I am going to say Belgium.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Belgium, says Judy. Belgium.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Let's see how many of our 100 people said Belgium.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Absolutely right.
0:20:59 > 0:21:0234 is the only score we have at the moment.
0:21:02 > 0:21:0441 for Belgium.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Yeah, 1.3 billion from Belgium.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13In Bruges, where they brew an awful lot of beer,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15it's got a very beautiful medieval centre.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18They've got a beer pipeline which goes from the centre of Bruges
0:21:18 > 0:21:21out to the outskirts so that lorries and so on don't have to
0:21:21 > 0:21:23come into the centre of town.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25So they literally just put the pipe into the lorry
0:21:25 > 0:21:27and just stand there, whistling.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Fill it full of beer.- Fill it up with beer.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Just filling the tank up.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33XANDER GROANS
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Imagine that - a beer tunnel.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36- Fun.- That's quite cool, isn't it?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Yeah.- They should do rides.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Shouldn't they?- For adults. - Flumes.- You get a little dinghy...
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Beer flume. - ..along the beer tunnel.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46And you're each given a little tankard.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Little beaker, you're wandering along.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Ah... And then you're in the middle of Bruges.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- Going against the flow. - Yes, that would be...
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Oh, yeah, that's harder.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00So you've got someone punting at the back.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Mm. You know what I would take down there with me?
0:22:02 > 0:22:03- What?- A little slice of lime.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06LAUGHTER
0:22:07 > 0:22:08Thanks very much, Richard.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12- Sarah?- Right. Well, I do drink a lot of beer.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15But I don't necessarily look on the bottle to see where it comes from.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20- Yes.- It's a bit of a problem. Erm, I know some definites,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- and I'm just wondering whether to try a risky one.- Come on, Sarah.
0:22:23 > 0:22:2430 countries.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32I don't know. I think I'll play safe and go for Australia.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34OK, Australia, says Sarah.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Let's see how many of our 100 people said Australia.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Well, they did seem to sell a lot when I was there three weeks ago.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48I know, I was thinking that was an ingenious answer.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51So ingenious, though, it was wrong for 100 points, I'm afraid, Sarah.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- Sorry about that.- Yeah, I think a lot of what we think of as
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Australian beer we actually make here. It's all made under licence.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00So we think there's various very big brands which we believe to be
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- Australian - it's a marketing thing, really.- It's a ruse.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07That's unlucky cos the adverts have lied to you.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- I fell for those as well! - Such a mug.- There we are.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Thank you very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Let's take a look at those scores.
0:23:13 > 0:23:1534 the best score of the pass, Michael. Very well done indeed.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Michael and Ben, top of the tree. 41 is where we find Trudy and Andy,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21and then 100, Sarah and Mary.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Mary, a little bit of an onus on you therefore to come up with a nice,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27low-scoring answer. We're going to come back down the line.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35So we're looking for the countries that export the most beer by value.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Mary.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Not Australia.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42And maybe from that we can all learn a lesson.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46I'm not a beer drinker. Erm, ooh...
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Do you want me to go for an obvious one
0:23:49 > 0:23:51that people might not think to say?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Which I'm going to go for, it's Ireland.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Ireland. Surely Ireland, says Mary.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59No red line for you, Mary, as you're the high scorers.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Let's see how many of our 100 people said Ireland.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04It's right.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Well, 100 was our highest score, 34 our low,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10you passed all of those... 25.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Not bad at all, Mary. Have you done enough, I wonder.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14125 is your total.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Have you done enough to keep yourselves in the game?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Yeah, that's a great answer, Mary, very well played.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Lowest score so far.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Most famous, of course, for its stout.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Andy...
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Andy, you've had a little bit of time to think about this.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29I have a feeling you...
0:24:29 > 0:24:32I think you are going to go through the floor of
0:24:32 > 0:24:37our 25 score at this point. I think you've got a brilliant answer.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41OK, I'm going to go for Poland.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Poland. Poland. What about that? Poland.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47That earned you a little appreciative hum from the audience.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Here is your red line, nice and high, you'll notice.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52If you can get below that, you are through to the next round.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55How many of our 100 people said Poland? Is it right?
0:24:57 > 0:24:59It's right. You are through.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02I said you were going to go below 25.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Oh, and you have! 21, look at that.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Very well done indeed, Andy.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Taking your total up to 62.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10APPLAUSE
0:25:10 > 0:25:11It's another very good answer, yeah.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13In Poland, they do sort of a mulled beer.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16They serve it hot with cinnamon and cloves
0:25:16 > 0:25:18and honey in the winter months.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Interesting, right? - Quite filling.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- I think it is quite filling, yeah. - Thank you, Richard.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28Now, Ben. Ben, you are on 34.
0:25:28 > 0:25:3290 or less is your target.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37OK. So there are a few that sprang to mind that I think may be slightly
0:25:37 > 0:25:40high scorers, but now I'm also worried that I've also been
0:25:40 > 0:25:44mis-sold by advertising, and I'm going to say a country that
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- doesn't actually produce the beer itself, so...- Well.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51So I'm going to go with Japan.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Japan. Let's find out. Is that right?
0:25:54 > 0:25:5734 is your score at the moment.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59There is your red line.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01If it's correct, you're through.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03If it's incorrect, Mary and Sarah stay with us,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06and we'll say goodbye to you at the end of the round.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Let's see, Japan, how many of our 100 people said it?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13It's right - and you're through.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14You held your nerve there, Ben.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18And there's your reward - 19, the lowest score of the round,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21taking your total up to 53.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22The lowest total of the round.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Yeah, it's very well played. Yeah, lots of Japanese brands of beer.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31One of the Japanese labels, they produced a space beer
0:26:31 > 0:26:33using space barley which had been grown
0:26:33 > 0:26:36on the International Space Station.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Cost £12 a bottle,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41which in Japan is probably cheaper than normal beer.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- Yeah.- Now, what country do you think
0:26:43 > 0:26:46exports the most beer by value in the world?
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- Anyone?- In the world...- USA?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- Not USA, that would have scored you 59 points.- Germany?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Not Germany, it would have scored you 76 points.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- Czech Republic?- Not Czech Republic, that would have scored you 21.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- Mexico?- It is Mexico.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01Very well played, Mary.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Over 2.5 billion worth of exports from Mexico.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09That would have scored you 17 points.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- Wow.- So it would have been a very, very good answer.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Three pointless answers here.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Just the three, and they are...
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Me either. South Korea, I think you can understand, maybe.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26And Vietnam. Those were the three pointless answers.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29You'd have got one point for Singapore, Namibia and Malaysia,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31two points for Slovenia.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Four for Thailand, eight for South Africa, 11 for Russia, 13 Portugal,
0:27:35 > 0:27:3714 Brazil, 15 Canada.
0:27:37 > 0:27:4017 for China and Austria.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43You'd have got 21 for Sweden, 24 for Italy,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46and everything else we've heard apart from 35 for Spain,
0:27:46 > 0:27:5137 for Denmark, and France, which would have scored you 46.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So at the end of our second round,
0:27:54 > 0:27:57the pair we have to say goodbye to with their high score of 125,
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Mary and Sarah, I'm so sorry.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02It is you. Yes, that was a tough trap to fall into there, Sarah,
0:28:02 > 0:28:04but I'm sure when you come back you'll do much, much better.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06We will see you then and look forward to it very much.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Mary and Sarah, thank you.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10APPLAUSE
0:28:11 > 0:28:15But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17APPLAUSE
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Congratulations, Ben and Michael, Trudy and Andy,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24you are now one step closer to the final
0:28:24 > 0:28:26and a chance to play for that jackpot,
0:28:26 > 0:28:28which currently stands at £2,750.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Well, here we are. We've reached that lovely plateau
0:28:34 > 0:28:35that is the head-to-head round,
0:28:35 > 0:28:38which means you're now allowed to start playing as a team.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39You can confer before you give your answers,
0:28:39 > 0:28:41and the first pair to win two questions
0:28:41 > 0:28:43will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Now, Trudy and Andy, we were here last time -
0:28:45 > 0:28:47only last time you were our golden couple.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49You were our golden couple, our low-scoring pair.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52You've been usurped from that position by Ben and Michael.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55But actually you didn't win in the golden couple position,
0:28:55 > 0:28:57so we know anything can happen in this round.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Ben and Michael, your first appearance here.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00Very, very best of luck.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Let's see what happens, best of luck to both pairs.
0:29:03 > 0:29:04Let's play the head-to-head.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06APPLAUSE
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Here is your first question.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14And it concerns...
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- Richard.- We are going to show you five pictures now of different
0:29:17 > 0:29:20ball sports, but can you tell us what the sports are, please?
0:29:20 > 0:29:22OK, let's reveal our five pictures, and here they come.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24We have got...
0:29:49 > 0:29:52OK, there we are, five ball sports.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Ben and Michael, you are our golden couple, so you will go first.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59THEY WHISPER
0:30:02 > 0:30:06OK, I think we're going to go with A, and say dodge ball.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Dodge ball, say Ben and Michael.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13Now, then. Trudy and Andy, do you want to talk us through that board?
0:30:13 > 0:30:17So we think B is lacrosse.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19C, Polo.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21D is croquet.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23I'm not sure about E.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26- E could be badminton. - No, but there's no bat in his hands.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29- There's no bat. - Badminton without a bat.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31It's a new sport.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34We're going to go with B for lacrosse.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37B, lacrosse. So we have dodge ball and we have lacrosse.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Ben and Michael said dodge ball for A.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47It's right.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Look at that, 11 for dodge ball, very well done indeed.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56APPLAUSE
0:30:59 > 0:31:03Meanwhile, Trudy and Andy have gone for B, lacrosse.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04Let's see if that's right,
0:31:04 > 0:31:06let's see how many of our 100 people said lacrosse.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09It's right.
0:31:11 > 0:31:1466. There we are. Quite a high score for lacrosse there.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Ben and Michael, very well done. After one question, you're up 1-0.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Well played. It's really risen in popularity, dodge ball.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Ever since the movie DodgeBall, which is a great film.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25But loads of schools play it now. My son's school play it.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27So it's a cool sport.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29C, of course, is polo.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Big score for that, would have scored 93.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34Croquet is also a big scorer.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37Would have scored you 73.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Now, this last sport, really very, very popular in Nigeria,
0:31:40 > 0:31:41- but do you know what it is?- Fives.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Yeah, fives, or Eton fives, well played.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46- Would have scored you two points. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Now, we're at the end of our first question.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Trudy and Andy, this is the second question.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53You have to win this one to stay in the game, so very best of luck.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Our second question today is all about...
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- Richard?- Yeah, we're going to show you the names of five parts of
0:32:00 > 0:32:04the human circulatory system with alternate letters removed,
0:32:04 > 0:32:05which you must not try at home.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07LAUGHTER
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Can you tell us what those parts of the system are, please?
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Thank you very much indeed. Let's reveal our five parts of human
0:32:13 > 0:32:16circulation with bits missing, and here they are.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38I shall read those all again.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Trudy and Andy will go first.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59We're going for the fourth one down, vena cava.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Vena cava, say Trudy and Andy.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06Now, then, Ben and Michael, talk us through these circulatory systems.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08So I think we know all of them.
0:33:08 > 0:33:13The top one's lungs, the second one would be atriums.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17Ventricle, and renal at the bottom.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19I think we'll go with atriums.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21You're going to go for atriums, Ben and Michael?
0:33:21 > 0:33:25So Trudy and Andy gave us vena cava.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Vena cava, 36.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39APPLAUSE
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Ben and Michael, meanwhile, have given us atriums.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48Atriums, the second one down there. Let's see if that's right,
0:33:48 > 0:33:50let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Oh, wins you the point, down it goes.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Atriums, down to 16.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03APPLAUSE
0:34:06 > 0:34:08And very well done indeed, Ben and Michael.
0:34:08 > 0:34:09It means, after only two questions,
0:34:09 > 0:34:11you are straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Very well played, gents. Very nice answer.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16You actually would have won the point with ventricles as well.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20It scored slightly fewer, it scores 35.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Right at the top, lungs is a big scorer,
0:34:23 > 0:34:24that would have scored you 94.
0:34:24 > 0:34:29And renal down the bottom there, another big scorer, 90 for that.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30Thank you very much, Richard.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32So the pair leaving us at the end of head-to-head round,
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Trudy and Andy, I'm so sorry.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Second time we've had a majestic performance from you
0:34:36 > 0:34:38right the way through the show,
0:34:38 > 0:34:40and then at the head-to-head round we have to say goodbye.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43I'm so sorry you didn't get a chance to take that Pointless trophy home.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45It would have been deserved if you had.
0:34:45 > 0:34:46But it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50- Thank you so much.- Lovely being here.- ..Trudy and Andy.- Thank you.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:34:52 > 0:34:55But for Ben and Michael, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:34:59 > 0:35:00Congratulations, Ben and Michael,
0:35:00 > 0:35:02you've fought off all the competition
0:35:02 > 0:35:05and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:13 > 0:35:17and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,750.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18There we are.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20APPLAUSE
0:35:22 > 0:35:25- Very well done. Very well done indeed.- Thank you.
0:35:25 > 0:35:30I mean, first round you were sort of in the middle of things there.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Second round, the beer round, suddenly shot to the fore there.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37That seemed to keep you going right the way through the head-to-head,
0:35:37 > 0:35:38which you won 2-0.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41And here you are in the final on your first appearance on Pointless.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44So very good indeed. I mean, on that kind of trajectory,
0:35:44 > 0:35:49I think we would expect to see you carry off the jackpot, I think.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53What would you like to see come up on this, on this last round?
0:35:53 > 0:35:57Music could be amazing or terrible, so...
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Sport would be pretty good, I think, between us.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01OK. OK, well, very best of luck.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Let's see what today's selection of topics looks like.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06We have got...
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Yeah, I don't think I watch enough dramas.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22- No, I don't at all.- Other than... I can think of a couple.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Sporting Queens, not sure.
0:36:26 > 0:36:27And '50s films is...
0:36:27 > 0:36:31I think we are going to have to go with TFL train stations.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Sounds good. OK, TFL train stations. Richard.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37Yeah, we are essentially looking for any London train stations.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Anything on the TFL map, London Underground, London Overground, DLR,
0:36:40 > 0:36:43not tram links, but anything else on the TFL map
0:36:43 > 0:36:46beginning with one of the following three letters, please.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49So any station beginning with T,
0:36:49 > 0:36:51any station beginning with F.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54You may be able to guess the last one - any station beginning with L.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56So any of those overground or underground stations
0:36:56 > 0:36:59beginning with one of those three letters. Very best of luck.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Thank you very much indeed. As always, you've got up to one minute
0:37:02 > 0:37:05to come up with three answers, and all you need to win that jackpot
0:37:05 > 0:37:08is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:08 > 0:37:09- Yeah.- OK.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Theydon Bois at the end of the Central Line.
0:37:15 > 0:37:16OK, that sounds like a good one.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- Limehouse on the DLR. - Yeah, Limehouse.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Any other DLR ones you can think of?
0:37:21 > 0:37:22Oh, I don't catch it.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27I think... Is Turnham Green one?
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- Yes, I think it is.- Yeah.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- Turnpike Lane? - Turnpike Lane, good one.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39- Leyton, Leytonstone, they'll be high scorers.- Yeah.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45What about on the overground?
0:37:45 > 0:37:46Yeah.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Those letters. Struggling.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- Finsbury Park.- Finsbury Park!
0:37:56 > 0:37:58- Yeah.- Teddington?
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- TFL. - No, that's national.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Ten seconds left.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- So what are the three? - Loughton on the Central Line?
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Loughton, yeah? Shall we go with Loughton?
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- Theydon Bois.- Yeah. No, let's go with...- Turnham Green.- Yeah.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16OK, that's your minute up. Let's have your three answers.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18I think you're going to give them.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21So for T we can go for Theydon Bois on the Central Line.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Theydon Bois.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27And we're going to go for Loughton for L.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- Loughton.- It's on the Central Line. - And we're going for Turnham Green.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- Turnham Green. - And Turnham Green.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Three good answers there. Of those three, which do you think
0:38:35 > 0:38:37is probably your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:37 > 0:38:39- Theydon Bois probably. - Theydon Bois goes last.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- Least likely to be pointless? - Turnham Green?- Turnham Green, yeah.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Turnham Green, then Loughton in the middle.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47OK, well, lets put those answers up on the board
0:38:47 > 0:38:48in that order, then, and here they are.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50We have got Turnham Green, we've got Loughton,
0:38:50 > 0:38:52and we've got Theydon Bois.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Three good answers there.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58Quite a nice jackpot to be taking home as well, £2,750.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00What would you like to do with that, Ben, if you won?
0:39:01 > 0:39:04I think some of it would go straight to my girlfriend
0:39:04 > 0:39:07for a bit of a shopping spree.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09I've been told that I had to say that.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11- Erm, and... - LAUGHTER
0:39:11 > 0:39:13And then the rest, probably some stuff for around the kitchen.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16- Need some new pans. Something exciting like that.- Good.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- That could be part of the shopping spree.- It could be.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Maybe the shopping spree could be in a kitchen shop.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22- I didn't think of that. - There you are. Michael?
0:39:22 > 0:39:25I want to go to New Zealand next year on the Lions tour,
0:39:25 > 0:39:27so that would kind of work pretty good, I think.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29That could work very nicely indeed.
0:39:29 > 0:39:30Well, as I say, very best of luck.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Let us see. I think those are three good answers.
0:39:33 > 0:39:34Let's see what our 100 people think.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Turnham Green. In the case of all three answers,
0:39:37 > 0:39:39we're looking for TFL stations in London.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Let's find out how many of our 100 people said Turnham Green.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45If it is pointless, it will win you £2,750.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Well, obviously, it's right, Turnham Green.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56Down it goes. I think it will go a long way down, through the 20s,
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Are we into the teens? Yes, we are, we are into single figures.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00Down it goes. Still going down.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Turnham Green taking us down to one!
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Oh-ho-ho!
0:40:04 > 0:40:06APPLAUSE
0:40:10 > 0:40:13One. One with your very first answer.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Very impressive indeed. Annoyingly, not a pointless answer.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20So we turn to your next answer, which was Loughton.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Let's find out how many of our 100 people said Loughton.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Could they name Loughton as a TFL station?
0:40:27 > 0:40:29If it's pointless, it wins you £2,750.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Let's see how many of our 100 people said Loughton.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38It's right. Turnham Green was right, took us all the way down to one.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Loughton now takes us down through the 40s.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Into the 30s, into the 20s. Into the teens.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Are we in single figures? Yes, we are.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Down we go. We're still going down with Loughton.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48We're still going down to two!
0:40:48 > 0:40:49Two for Loughton!
0:40:49 > 0:40:51APPLAUSE
0:40:55 > 0:40:57We're very much in the right territory here.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59- One of these, surely.- It's close.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03Surely, one of these answers will win you that jackpot.
0:41:03 > 0:41:08£2,750 riding on your third and final answer, which is Theydon Bois.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Let's find out, for £2,750, how many people said Theydon Bois.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Is it a pointless answer?
0:41:17 > 0:41:18It's right.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Turnham Green took us down to one.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Loughton took us down to two.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Theydon Bois takes us down through the 20s.
0:41:24 > 0:41:25We are into the teens.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28We are into single figures, we're going down.
0:41:28 > 0:41:29Still going down. Passing two...!
0:41:29 > 0:41:31CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:41 > 0:41:42Very well done indeed.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46Congratulations, Theydon Bois a pointless answer!
0:41:46 > 0:41:51Which means you go home with that jackpot of £2,750.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Very well done indeed.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55APPLAUSE
0:41:56 > 0:41:59£2,750.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01That will turn 'em green.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04LAUGHTER
0:42:04 > 0:42:05Very well played. Terrific stuff.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08There's different pointless answers for different categories.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Let's take a look at them. We will start with T.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18You don't need to tut if you've already won the money,
0:42:18 > 0:42:19that's the good news.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23The F, there's fewer than any of the others.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25There's only two pointless answers here...
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Fairlop, and Finchley Road & Frognal, which should count as two.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32And finally onto L.
0:42:32 > 0:42:33You could have had...
0:42:37 > 0:42:40You could have had Langdon Park, Leyton Midland Road or Leyton High Road as well.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Very well done if you got any of those at home,
0:42:42 > 0:42:46- and congratulations, gents, great win.- Thanks very much, Richard.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49And thanks once again to our winning players, Ben and Michael,
0:42:49 > 0:42:51who go away with today's jackpot of £2,750.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Very well done indeed. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Join us next time when we'll be
0:42:55 > 0:42:59putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
