0:00:13 > 0:00:16APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where we are always aiming to find the most obscure answers.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Hello, Alexander. My name's Leon, I'm from Brighton,
0:00:36 > 0:00:39and this is MY Pointless friend, Richard.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- Couple number two. - Hi, I'm Gavin, this is Andy,
0:00:46 > 0:00:49we're both from Edinburgh and we've been friends since youth theatre.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- Couple number three. - Hi, I'm David, I'm from Flitwick,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55and this is Anthea from Doncaster, who's my fiancee.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Keiron, and this is my girlfriend Meg.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01I'm from Birkenhead and she's from Warrington.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03And these are today's contestants.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Thanks very much, all of you. A very warm welcome to Pointless. Great to have you with us.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show as it goes along,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce -
0:01:13 > 0:01:16a humming engine filled with raw horsepower.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Just don't look under his bonnet.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Hiya. Hey, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- I don't like the sound of raw horsepower.- No.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- That's why you don't look under the bonnet, I guess. - That's not great, is it?- Oh, no.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35- THEY LAUGH - Now, it should be a fun show today.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37We've got two returning pairs. We've got David and Anthea.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Leon and Richard, also. Got knocked out on a round about Mr Men.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- That's a bad way to go, isn't it? - Isn't it, yeah?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- It's a bad way to go. - OK, thank you very much indeed.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Now then, Sarah and Lesley didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51so we're going to add another £1,000 to that.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53So, today's jackpot starts off at £2,000. There we are.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Right, now, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05So, remember, the pair with the highest score
0:02:05 > 0:02:07at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10No conferring, of course, till we get to that head-to-head round.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14So, good luck, all four pairs. Our first category today is...
0:02:17 > 0:02:18That's nice. Travel.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:20 > 0:02:21who's going to go second,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Richard.- We're going to show you seven clues on each pass
0:02:36 > 0:02:38to popular tourist destinations or attractions.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41They all featured on a poll done by TripAdvisor.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42But we'll give you the clues
0:02:42 > 0:02:45and we'll give you the initials of the answers, as well.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Thanks very much. So, let's reveal our tourist destinations,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50and here they are. Our first board of seven reads like this...
0:03:28 > 0:03:29I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06There we are. I nearly read one of those answers out, then.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Richard, welcome back to Pointless. Good to have you with us. Remind us what you do.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13I'm a layout sub-editor for a national newspaper.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14How long have you done that for?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I've been in newspapers all my working life, so about 30 years.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Has layout always been your particular thing?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I started off as a reporter on local papers in South London,
0:04:22 > 0:04:27and moved into the design and editing side after about 15 years,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- and I've stuck with that ever since. - Got to be very satisfying.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Very good. Now, Richard, what would you like to go for
0:04:32 > 0:04:35on our board of tourist destinations?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Well, I think I know most of them,
0:04:39 > 0:04:43but I don't know whether I should go for something safe
0:04:43 > 0:04:45or something that I don't think anybody else will get.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48So, I'm going to stick my neck out,
0:04:48 > 0:04:52and I'm going to go for the ruins of a city in Central America,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- and I think it's Chichen Itza. - Chichen Itza?- Yes.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Chichen Itza, says Richard. Let's see if it's right.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Let's see how many of our 100 people said Chichen Itza.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04It's right.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I think this is a very, very good answer, Richard.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10It is! Down it goes to eight.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12APPLAUSE Single figures
0:05:12 > 0:05:13with our first answer of the day.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Very well done. Great start to the show.- Yes, an ancient
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Mayan city in Yucatan. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Gavin, welcome. Here from Edinburgh? - Yes.- And what do you do, Gavin?
0:05:23 > 0:05:28Well, now I run a hardware shop. A little ironmonger's.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30See, that's nice. Is it one of those ones...
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Have you got masses of things hanging behind you?- Yeah.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35And things under the desk?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38It's just untidy, generally, but it's also part of the charm.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Absolutely it is. And I hope you're still doing a roaring trade, Gavin.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Yes, I've just been doing it a year and it's been a good year.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Fantastic. So, it's a new venture?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Yeah, yeah. - Oh, people must be so thrilled.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- Good for you, Gavin. That's superb.- Good choice.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Now, what would you like to go for on our tourist destinations?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Well, I didn't know Chichen Itza, but I know a few of them.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I think I will go with the abandoned citadel
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- and say Machu Picchu. - Machu Picchu, says Gavin.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Let's see how many of our 100 people said Machu Picchu.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10It's right.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Well, eight is the only score on the board so far.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Machu Picchu takes you to 27.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Not bad. Not bad, Gavin. APPLAUSE
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Gavin breaking the first rule of Pointless there,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24which is admitting he didn't know a previous answer that was given.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26You're supposed to say, "I only knew one on the board,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29"and that was Chichen Itza. Oh, that's frustrating."
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- So, very well done.- He's honest. Runs his own hardware shop.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Does he?- There's nothing about Gavin that isn't likeable. LAUGHTER
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- That is nice, isn't it? - Thank you very much indeed.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- David, welcome back. - Thank you.- Here from Flitwick.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43And we discovered last time that you are a tattoo artist.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Yeah, that's correct. - You have your own studio.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- That's correct. - Now, do people tend to be very,
0:06:48 > 0:06:50very nervous when they come in for tattoos, or is it...?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Yeah, they're nervous, certainly nervous,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- but I add to that.- Do you sit them down and say, "Look..."?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I tell them it's the first one I've ever done...
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- LAUGHTER - ..just to really psych them out.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Tell them it's going to really hurt. - Yeah, yeah.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Do you wear tattoos yourself, David? I can't...
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- There are none on show. - I've got a few on my shins.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Some on my left leg, inner arms. - OK. In an idle moment,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14if business is a bit quiet, do you think, "I don't know,
0:07:14 > 0:07:16"there's a little square inch here I could..."?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- It's never quiet.- Never quiet. - Never quiet.- There we are.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Now, David?- I know a few of them up there. I really do.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24But it's knowing which one is going to be the lowest.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25I think...
0:07:27 > 0:07:29..I'm going to go for BB,
0:07:29 > 0:07:32the Bow Bells, is what I'm going to go for -
0:07:32 > 0:07:34the name of the famous clock tower in London.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36The Bow Bells. The Bow Bells, says David.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Let's see if that's right for BB.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Ooh.- Oh, I'm afraid not the Bow Bells, David.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Scores you 100 points.- Yeah, sorry, David. Not Bow Bells, I'm afraid.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the pass.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- Thank you very much indeed. Now, Keiron, welcome.- Hello.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Good to have you here. Keiron, what do you do?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00I'm just about to start a PhD in physics.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Wow. So, have you just finished a course in physics?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- I've just done a master's degree in physics.- You've done a master's.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Will you go on and teach, do you think?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09That's what I'm hoping to do.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- So, you'll remain in further education?- Mm-hm.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Very nice. So, where are you starting your PhD?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- I'm going to Cambridge.- Excellent. That's going to be superb.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Good luck with that. Now, Keiron, this board is all yours. Good luck with that, as well!
0:08:20 > 0:08:21Would you like to fill in all our blanks?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23I would love to, but it's not going to happen.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I think the top one is the Sydney Opera House,
0:08:27 > 0:08:32the one in London, Big Ben, and the rest, I'm not sure on,
0:08:32 > 0:08:35so I'll have to go with the top one and go with Sydney Opera House.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Sydney Opera House, says Keiron.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41OK, well, let's see where we get with Sydney Opera House.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44It's right. 100 is our high score,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47so you've passed that very comfortably. Eight is our low.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49You end up on 59. APPLAUSE
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Yeah, you're right about Big Ben. It is Big Ben, not Bow Bells.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57It's a big scorer, though. You did well to avoid it.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- 91 points for that.- Ooh!
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- AW?- Angkor Wat.- Angkor Wat.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04That would have scored 11.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06In Granada, you'll find...
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- Alhambra.- The Alhambra would have scored you 16 points.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11And the statue?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- Christ the Redeemer. - It's Christ the Redeemer.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15That would have scored you 49 points.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Eight - beautiful low score there, Richard and Leon.
0:09:22 > 0:09:2627 is where we find Gavin and Andy, 59 is where we find Keiron and Meg,
0:09:26 > 0:09:27and 100, I'm afraid,
0:09:27 > 0:09:30David and Anthea. A little bit ahead there.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Anthea, maybe if there's a really super low answer on the next board
0:09:32 > 0:09:36that you know, maybe that will keep you in the game. Best of luck.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37We're going to come back down the line now.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45OK, let's put seven more clues to tourist destinations
0:09:45 > 0:09:46up on the board, and here they are.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49We have got...
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I'll read those all again.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Meg, a warm welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- What do you do, Meg?- Same as Keiron.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02I just graduated from the University of Liverpool
0:11:02 > 0:11:05in molecular biology, and I'm going on to do a PhD
0:11:05 > 0:11:08at the University of Cambridge in biochemistry.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Oh, well, that's nice! Where did you meet, Meg?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14We met at a Christmas lights switch-on in Manchester.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Well, that's exciting.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19There you were, swept away in the excitement of the lights going on.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Were they impressive lights?
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- There was a snow machine that broke. - LAUGHTER
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- That was about it. - If only they had a physicist there!
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Well, I actually turned the lights on,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32cos I was the lighting engineer. So, they pressed the big plunger...
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- They DID have a physicist there! - ..and I went...
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- LAUGHTER - Oh, don't want to hear that!
0:11:37 > 0:11:41They have a master's physicist there just to flick the switch!
0:11:41 > 0:11:44That's hilarious. Very good. Anyway, now, Meg, there we are.
0:11:44 > 0:11:4659 is your score at the moment.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47If you can score 40 or less,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50you won't even be troubling the high-scorers.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54I don't think that's going to happen, cos I only know two,
0:11:54 > 0:11:56and I'm going to have to go for the one I think
0:11:56 > 0:11:58will be lower out of those two.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02The church where Quasimodo worked is Notre-Dame Cathedral.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Notre-Dame Cathedral, says Meg. Here is your red line.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07If you can get below this red line with Notre-Dame Cathedral,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09you are into the second round for sure.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15It's right.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Not bad. 57. I think you've done enough.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21APPLAUSE 116
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- is your total.- Yes, it's on Ile de la Cite in Paris.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- There we are.- I find it a little bit imposing as a structure.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31- Bit imposing.- Yeah.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- As a cathedral.- Yeah.
0:12:33 > 0:12:39I prefer my cathedrals more like Ely or St Albans.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42There we are. Anthea, welcome back to Pointless.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Good to have you with us again. Remind us what you do.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- I work in a call centre, answering emergency calls.- That's right.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53And what do you like getting up to when you're not answering emergency calls, Anthea?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Playing with my two boys. - Lovely. And they are called...?
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- Zach and Archie.- Zach and Archie. And how old are they?- Seven and two.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Seven and two. Very good indeed.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Now, Anthea, we have a contest on our hands here,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07but it's a contest in which you have to score 15 or less.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- That's not going to happen! - SHE LAUGHS
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Well, obviously, I know the one that's already gone,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15and the only other one that I know is GGB -
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Golden Gate Bridge - which will be really high-scoring.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- So, that is the one you're going to go for?- That's my answer.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Golden Gate Bridge. There is your red line.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25If you can get below that red line with Golden Gate Bridge,
0:13:25 > 0:13:29you are through to Round Two. Let's see how many people said Golden Gate Bridge.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33It's right.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- 46.- Better than last time! - APPLAUSE
0:13:39 > 0:13:4046 takes your total
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- up to 146. - Yeah, good answer, Anthea.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45There was a lot of opposition to the Golden Gate Bridge
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- before construction even began. - Oh, how exhausting.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- I know, can you imagine? Of course, now it's so iconic. - Why, what did they...?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Just, you know, cos of construction noise
0:13:53 > 0:13:55and the sight of it, and, you know, just...
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- they thought that it would ruin that view across that bay.- There we go.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Andy, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- What do you do, Andy? - I am an IT technician
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- for an investment company in Edinburgh.- Right you are.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08And you and Gavin met doing youth theatre in Edinburgh?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Yeah, back when we were youths. - Aw, that's fun.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- Where did you do that? - All round Edinburgh.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14It was a company called Forth Children's Theatre
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- where we first met 30 years ago. - And when did you stop doing theatre?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- Or do you still? - I still work in the theatre.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24We still dabble. I direct shows around the Edinburgh area.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- I direct Edinburgh Gang Show. - Very good.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29I work with a charity company called Showcase
0:14:29 > 0:14:32that raises money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- Fantastic.- And anything else that they'll pay me to do.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Good stuff. Have you got a Christmas show in the offing?
0:14:37 > 0:14:38February, the musical of Titanic.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I won't tell you what happens in the end.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43LAUGHTER Leave me in suspense there!
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Andy, anyway, listen, great news. You're through to the next round.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Doesn't matter what you score, you will not be overtaking 146.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51It takes a bit of the pressure off,
0:14:51 > 0:14:53but I reckon you've got a good answer up your sleeve there.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56There are a few that I'm kind of sure of,
0:14:56 > 0:14:58but I'm going to play it uber-safe,
0:14:58 > 0:15:00and answer the bottom one
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- and say it's the Eiffel Tower. - Eiffel Tower, says Andy.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04No red line. You're already through.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Let's see how many of our 100 said the Eiffel Tower.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10It's right.
0:15:11 > 0:15:1373. APPLAUSE
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Takes your total up very neatly to 100.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Yeah, and that was the tallest man-made structure
0:15:19 > 0:15:20in the world for 41 years,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22till the Chrysler Building overtook it.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Leon, remind us what you do.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Greengrocer/market worker.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Greengrocer/market worker in Brighton?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- Yes.- Very good indeed.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36And what do you like doing when the greengrocing is done?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38When I do have time,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41I do like a bit of golf, but I have a ten-month-old son,
0:15:41 > 0:15:43so most of my time is taken up with him in the afternoons,
0:15:43 > 0:15:45which is really, really enjoyable, anyway.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Which is lovely. Good. Good, good, good.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Now, Leon, this board is all yours. Dazzle us, please.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55I know a few. I think the top one is the Acropolis.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58The building in Dubai is the Burj something,
0:15:58 > 0:16:03which I'm not sure, so I'm going to go with Gian Bernini
0:16:03 > 0:16:06and say St Peter's Basilica.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09St Peter's Basilica, says Leon. No red line. You're already through.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Let's see how many of our 100 people went for St Peter's Basilica.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16It's absolutely right.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21That's a lovely answer, Leon.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Down it goes. Still going down.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25There's something beautifully poetic about that.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27APPLAUSE You join Richard on eight.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- Takes your total up to 16. - Terrific stuff, gents. Well played.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34You were right about the Acropolis, as well.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35That would have scored you 22.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37You're right - it is the Burj something.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- Khalifa.- Burj Khalifa. 16 points for that.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- And do you know the Thai answer? - No, I'm trying to think.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46It's the Wat Pho, and would have scored you one point.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51We're at the end of our first round and we have to say goodbye to one of our players.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53I'm so sorry, Anthea and David. This cannot be right.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56It's the second time we've sent you home at the end of the first round. Far too soon.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00We haven't really seen much of you at all. Haven't put you through your Pointless paces.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02But thank you so much for coming to play.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- Anthea and David!- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:17:06 > 0:17:09But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16And so we're down to three pairs.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18At the end of this round, we have to be down to two pairs.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I don't know which pair it is that will be leaving us,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23but, Leon and Richard, really very, very well done indeed.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25You were so far ahead of everyone else.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26They're just dazzling, these two.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Anyway, best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Our category for Round Two today is...
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45OK, and our People round is all about...
0:17:47 > 0:17:49LAUGHTER Richard?
0:17:49 > 0:17:53All Welsh people are heroes to me, I have to say. I love the Welsh.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55But we're going to show you 16 pictures now
0:17:55 > 0:17:56of people who appeared on a list of Welsh heroes
0:17:56 > 0:17:58that was funded by the Welsh Assembly.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- You just have to identify the most obscure of these people, please. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05OK, so, we're going to put this image up with 16 faces on it.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07That will stay up for the entire round.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09We won't be changing it halfway through the round, OK?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11So, let's find out who is on that image.
0:18:11 > 0:18:1316 Welsh heroes.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17There we are.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Richard, how are you feeling?
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Erm, it's quite tricky, this,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27not being Welsh or having no Welsh heritage in me whatsoever.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I probably know about half of them.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- Dr Rowan Williams. - Rowan Williams, says Richard.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35Let's see if it's right.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Let's see how many of our 100 people said Rowan Williams.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Rowan Williams is right.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Look at that! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Down to seven for Rowan Williams.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Very well done indeed. Great start to the round.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Yeah, former Archbishop of Canterbury,
0:18:56 > 0:18:58of course. Born in Swansea.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- Famously married the Duchess of Cambridge.- Yes.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Which was a surprise to everybody!
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Yeah, yeah, yeah. LAUGHTER
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- So, Gavin? - I don't want to take a gamble.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17There's a couple I'm just not sure of the name,
0:19:17 > 0:19:19so I'll go with Richard Burton.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Richard Burton, says Gavin. Let's see if that's right.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28It's right.
0:19:32 > 0:19:3429. APPLAUSE
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- 29 for Richard Burton. - Yeah, there he is on the bottom row.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44- Nominated for an Oscar seven times, never won one.- No.- Never won.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49- Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Meg?- Erm, OK.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53I definitely know one, but it's going to score really high.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55The one that I think I'm going to go for,
0:19:55 > 0:19:57I don't know if it's right,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59and if it is right, it'll probably be really high anyway,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02so I'll just go for it. I think it might be Cerys Matthews.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- Cerys Matthews, says Meg.- I'm not sure.- Let's see if that's right.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Let's see how many of our 100 people said Cerys Matthews.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13It's right.
0:20:13 > 0:20:1629 is our high. Seven is our low.
0:20:16 > 0:20:1936 for Cerys. APPLAUSE
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Not bad.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Yeah, on the second row there, the singer in the band Catatonia,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- since a DJ and lots of amazing solo work, as well.- Wonderful.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Thank you very much indeed. We're halfway through the round.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Let's have a look at the scores. Seven - well done, Richard.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33Oh, Richard and Leon are good.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Keep that up and you should be in the head-to-head.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36So, seven, then up to 29,
0:20:36 > 0:20:39where we find Gavin and Andy. Then up to 36,
0:20:39 > 0:20:40where we find Meg and Keiron.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42So, Keiron, you know what we need from you.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44We need a heroically low-scoring Welsh person.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Good luck with that. We'll come back down the line now.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54There we are. Keiron.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- A heroically low-scoring answer, you want?- I think so.
0:20:59 > 0:21:05I've got a couple of risky ones, or a sure-fire hit.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08But will I get through?
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Cos it'll be high-scoring.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14I'll take a risk and say John Suchet.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16John Suchet, says Keiron.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17John Suchet. Let's see if it's right.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21No red line for you, as you're currently the high-scorers.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30I'm afraid not John Suchet, Keiron. That scores you 100 points,
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- takes your total up to 136. - Sorry, Keiron.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Had to give it a go, though. Yeah, John Suchet never wears a fez.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38LAUGHTER
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Thank you very much, Richard.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Now then, Andy, that's taken a little bit of pressure off you.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46But still a great deal of pressure just to get a good answer in,
0:21:46 > 0:21:47a good score.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Again, there's a few I recognise,
0:21:50 > 0:21:54but I'm going to go for Dylan Thomas.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Dylan Thomas, says Andy. No red line for you. You're already through.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Let's see how many of our 100 people said Dylan Thomas.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10That, I think, is going to be a fabulous score.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Down it goes. 16 - very well done.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15APPLAUSE Well done, Andy. 45 is your total.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Dylan was almost unknown as a name before he was called Dylan Thomas.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22It's from Welsh mythology. Very, very few people called Dylan.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- Now it's very common.- And then Bob Dylan came along and...
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- Yeah, not named after him, though. - No, no, no.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29But the popularity of the name increased even more.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- Yeah.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Now, Leo, you're... You're already through.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Fabulous low score from Richard.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Fabulous high score from Keiron and Meg.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40But this board is all yours. Why not have some fun with it?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Talk us through all the ones you can.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Erm, I know Tommy Cooper,
0:22:44 > 0:22:49Neil Kinnock, Mark Hughes,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51three that I don't know, a couple at the top.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53I'm going to play it safe.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Ian Rush.- Ian Rush, says Leon.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Ian Rush. No red line for you. You're already through.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Let's see how many of our 100 people said Ian Rush.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05It's right.
0:23:10 > 0:23:1226. APPLAUSE
0:23:12 > 0:23:1426, taking your total up to 33.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Yeah, well played. Scored 346 goals for Liverpool, Ian Rush.
0:23:18 > 0:23:2128 for Wales, as well.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Now, let's start in the top left, shall we?
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- Do you know that gentleman? - Colin Jackson.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Lovely Colin Jackson would have scored you 37.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31- Next to him?- Roald Dahl. - Roald Dahl. 28 points for him.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- Next along?- Catherine Zeta-Jones.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Catherine Zeta-Jones would have scored you 65.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- Our top answer next.- Tom Jones.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Tom Jones would have scored you 88.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- Then it's Laura Ashley.- Ah!
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Yeah, that's a pointless answer, as well.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Very well done if you said that.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49The next row, you have got Gareth Edwards,
0:23:49 > 0:23:51the rugby player. Would have scored you two.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- Next to him?- Tanni Grey-Thompson. - Tanni Grey-Thompson.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55She would have scored you six.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57The gentleman in the fez?
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- Tommy Cooper.- Tommy Cooper, yeah. Would have scored 75.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Leon gave us Mark Hughes already, as well.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05He would have scored you 25. Former Fulham boss.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Next to him, if you had to guess?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Do you know what? I mean, I think it's Nye Bevan.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- It is Nye Bevan. - But he looks so like Norman Lamont.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14He does look like Norman Lamont,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17doesn't he, with those eyebrows? But it's Nye Bevan.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18Would have scored you ten.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20And Neil Kinnock at the end there - 56.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22There we go. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25So, at the end of our second round, the pair we're sending home
0:24:25 > 0:24:27with their high score of 136,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Keiron and Meg, I'm afraid it is you.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- Yes, that wasn't your round, I'm going to say.- No.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33But we will see you again next time.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35I have every faith that you will go much further then.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38In the meantime, thank you very much for playing, Keiron and Meg.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40APPLAUSE
0:24:40 > 0:24:44But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Congratulations, Leon and Richard, Andy and Gavin.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52You are now one step closer to the final,
0:24:52 > 0:24:54and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56which currently stands at £2,000.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Well, we've reached the head-to-head,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04which means that, from here on in, you're allowed to confer before you give your answers
0:25:04 > 0:25:07and the first pair to win two questions will play for that jackpot.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Here is your first question, and it concerns...
0:25:19 > 0:25:24- Richard.- Five clues now to facts about fire.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Which is the most obscure answer up here?
0:25:26 > 0:25:30OK, thanks very much. Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31We've got...
0:25:49 > 0:25:51I'll read those all again.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Leon and Richard, you're our low-scorers. You will go first.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- The least obvious...- Yeah.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- ..is number two, isn't it? - I'd say, yeah. Definitely, yeah.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19- Go for it.- Yeah? - You have my blessing.- OK.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23We're going to go for number two. Baku is the capital of this country
0:26:23 > 0:26:27sometimes known as the Land of Fire, and it's Azerbaijan.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Azerbaijan, say Leon and Richard.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Ooh, it looked like Andy and Gavin had that one.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36HE SIGHS If it's right. Who knows?
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Maybe it's not. Keep the jeopardy up.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41LAUGHTER So, Andy and Gavin,
0:26:41 > 0:26:45- talk us through that board. - Well, we know a couple.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49I think we will go with Firestarter
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- was The Prodigy. - The Prodigy, say Andy and Gavin.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56So, we have Azerbaijan, and we have The Prodigy.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Leon and Richard said Azerbaijan for Baku.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 got it.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05It's right.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Not bad. Nine.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Nine. Andy and Gavin have gone for The Prodigy.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Let's see if that's right.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Prodigy.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27It is The Prodigy.
0:27:29 > 0:27:3150 for The Prodigy. APPLAUSE
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Popular answer there. Very well done.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34Leon and Richard, after one question,
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- you are up one-nil. - Yeah, best answer on the board.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Nothing you could have done there, gents.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Going to be a terrific head-to-head, I think.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43The name of the road where the Great Fire of London originated...
0:27:43 > 0:27:44- Pudding Lane.- ..was Pudding Lane.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Scored 53. The royal residence?
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- Windsor Castle.- Windsor Castle. And that's 54.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55- And the Greek Titan...- Prometheus. - ..was Prometheus. Exactly right.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Would have scored you ten points.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00You know the fire hydrant, which, obviously, are very familiar in the States?
0:28:00 > 0:28:02We have our own versions over here.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Nobody knows who invented the fire hydrant.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05- Do you know why?- Why?
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Cos its patent was destroyed in a fire.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- LAUGHTER - Isn't that amazing?
0:28:11 > 0:28:16- How about that?- Wow. Quite annoying for Trevor Hydrant.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19LAUGHTER He's going, "I did!"
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- "Yeah, course you did." - "Come on."- Yeah.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26So, here comes your second question. Andy and Gavin, you get to answer it first.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Remember, you have to win it to stay in the game, so, good luck.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Our second question today is all about...
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- Richard.- I'll show you five actors now portraying Heathcliff,
0:28:37 > 0:28:41- but who are the actors? - Thank you very much indeed.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Who are these actors? And we have got...
0:29:08 > 0:29:11LAUGHTER
0:29:13 > 0:29:16There we are. Five Heathcliffs.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Andy and Gavin will go first.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24THEY CONFER
0:29:28 > 0:29:31OK, there's a few we know.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34We're going to go with A,
0:29:34 > 0:29:36and say Timothy Dalton.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Timothy Dalton, say Andy and Gavin.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41A, Timothy Dalton.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45Now then, Leon and Richard, do you want to talk us through
0:29:45 > 0:29:47those Heathcliffs?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49We've got a couple that we know...
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Well, three we know for definite.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52I think E is quite stand-out,
0:29:52 > 0:29:53to be honest.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56C, I think, is Ralph Fiennes.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57But we're going to go B,
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Laurence Olivier.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03OK, Laurence Olivier, say Leon and Richard for B.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05So, we have Andy and Gavin with Timothy Dalton.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06Let's see if that's right.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10Let's see how many of our 100 people said Timothy Dalton for A.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14It's right.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Look at that! Down to seven!
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Well done indeed, Andy and Gavin. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Seven for Timothy Dalton.
0:30:29 > 0:30:30Leon and Richard, meanwhile,
0:30:30 > 0:30:32have gone for B, and said Laurence Olivier.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40It is Laurence Olivier.
0:30:44 > 0:30:4520 for Laurence Olivier.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48APPLAUSE Two very, very good answers there.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Very well done, Andy and Gavin.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52After two questions, you're back in the game. It's one-all.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Yeah, you're absolutely right about Ralph Fiennes.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56He would have scored you 11 points,
0:30:56 > 0:30:58so it would not have won you the point.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59D would have won you the point.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Very well done if you got this at home.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05From a 1998 TV adaptation, it is Robert Cavanah.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08A pointless answer. Very well done if you said that.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11And E is, of course, Sir Cliff,
0:31:11 > 0:31:13who would have scored you 72.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14Thank you very much indeed.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17So, here comes your third question. Whoever wins this one goes through
0:31:17 > 0:31:20to the final and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Our third question today is all about...
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- Richard.- I'm going to show you the names now of five famous magicians,
0:31:26 > 0:31:29or magic acts, with alternate letters removed.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32Can you give us the most obscure answer, please? Best of luck, everyone.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Thanks very much. Let's reveal our famous magicians with missing bits.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38And here they are. We have got...
0:31:48 > 0:31:50I shall read those all again.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Why do I find that so hard to do?
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Oh, dear. There we are. OK, now, Leon and Richard, you will go first.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09It's a tough one, because we know them all.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12It's just trying to find out which one is the lowest-scorer.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15- We don't know them all, do we? - We do.- Do we?- Yeah.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19We'll go for the bottom one.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21- We're going for Derren Brown.- OK, you're going to go for Derren Brown.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Leon and Richard, Derren Brown.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Now then, Andy and Gavin, talk us
0:32:25 > 0:32:27- through the board.- OK.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Number one is Dynamo.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Number two is David Blaine.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Number three is Harry Houdini.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Four is David Copperfield.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Which of them to go for?
0:32:40 > 0:32:42We'll go with number two, David Blaine.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45David Blaine. So, we have Derren Brown. We have David Blaine.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Leon and Richard said Derren Brown.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Let's see if that's right for the bottom one.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55It's right.
0:33:00 > 0:33:0230. APPLAUSE
0:33:04 > 0:33:0830 for Derren Brown. This could go anywhere.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Andy and Gavin have gone for David Blaine.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Who knows? Let's find out.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17David Blaine. Is it going to be better or worse than Derren Brown?
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Only our 100 know.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25David Blaine.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27He is a higher score.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29APPLAUSE There we are. 42 for David Blaine.
0:33:29 > 0:33:30Very well done indeed. Leon and Richard,
0:33:30 > 0:33:32I knew it was going to be close.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34It took three questions to separate you,
0:33:34 > 0:33:36- and you're through to the final 2-1. - Yeah, brilliant stuff.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39You came up with the best two answers on the board, both teams.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43You could not have done more than you did, either team, so a terrific head-to-head.
0:33:43 > 0:33:44Congratulations, everybody.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45These all scored more points.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49Dynamo would have scored you 63.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Harry Houdini would have scored you 70.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55And David Copperfield would have scored you 74.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:33:59 > 0:34:02I'm afraid, it is Andy and Gavin. It's good news, really,
0:34:02 > 0:34:03cos we get to see you again next time.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Otherwise, it would all have been over in one show,
0:34:05 > 0:34:08which was, frankly, far too little. We'll look forward to that.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Thanks very much, meanwhile, Andy and Gavin.
0:34:10 > 0:34:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:34:15 > 0:34:18But, for Leon and Richard, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Well, congratulations, Leon and Richard.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26You've seen off all the competition
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.- Yes!
0:34:34 > 0:34:36You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:34:36 > 0:34:39and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,000.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40There it is.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Well, Round Two last time, but this time,
0:34:45 > 0:34:47a seemingly effortless process
0:34:47 > 0:34:51through to the head-to-head, and then beyond.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53He stepped up. This is why I brought him, yes.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57- He remembered who he was. - Maybe the questions fell in our favour. I don't know.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Very best of luck. Let's see what's on the board in terms of categories.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Today's selection is...
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Right, OK. Well, history's quite good.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12- Battles.- Yeah. - Famous Battles, perhaps.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- Game Of Thrones, I'm absolutely hopeless at.- No, I don't watch that.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- Might be better with Battles.- Let's go for Battles.- Famous Battles.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- Famous Battles it is. - OK, very best of luck, gents. If you know your history,
0:35:21 > 0:35:25this might work out for you. We're looking for any of the following, please.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28The name of any of the ships which fought at the Battle of Trafalgar.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Any of the British ships or the Franco-Spanish ships, please,
0:35:31 > 0:35:33that fought at the Battle of Trafalgar.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37We're looking for any of Creasy's 15 Decisive Battles Of The World,
0:35:37 > 0:35:38published in 1851.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Any of the 15 battles in that book, please.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Equally, looking for any of the 23 battles
0:35:43 > 0:35:47in Frankland and Dowling's Decisive Battles Of The 20th Century.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49So, ships at the Battle of Trafalgar,
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Creasy's 15 Decisive Battles - that was published in 1851 -
0:35:52 > 0:35:56or Frankland and Dowling's Decisive Battles Of The 20th Century.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- Very best of luck, gents. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:36:02 > 0:36:03and all you need to win that jackpot
0:36:03 > 0:36:07is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- Yeah.- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11There they are. Your time start now.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13- Trafalgar.- Battle of Trafalgar.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14Well, there's one obvious ship.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16OK. Of course.
0:36:16 > 0:36:17But maybe we should leave that.
0:36:17 > 0:36:18I think so.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Decisive Battles Of The World -
0:36:20 > 0:36:21that's got to be throughout history,
0:36:21 > 0:36:23and I know a few of those.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Battle of Marathon, Battle of...
0:36:26 > 0:36:28The Kursk tank battle, of course.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- Oh, yes, battles of the 20th century.- Yes.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33- Battle of Kursk.- Jutland. - Battle of Jutland.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Running out of answers already.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Erm, yes.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42- Just think. Midway.- Midway, yeah.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48- Goodness.- I don't know many of the actual titles, but...
0:36:48 > 0:36:50- Battle of the Bulge. - Battle of the Bulge, of course.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53I think that'll be a high-scoring one.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55I don't know if we're going to get any zeros, though.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58I think Decisive Battles Of The World -
0:36:58 > 0:36:59Battle of Marathon might be...
0:36:59 > 0:37:00- Marathon?- It might not be.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02- Ten seconds left. - Let's try it anyway.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Well, that could be...
0:37:04 > 0:37:08- That could be our least likely one.- OK.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10- Kursk, I think we should go for. - Kursk is a good one to go for,
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- I think. And...- Jutland? - That is your time up.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- What would you like to give me? - 20th-century battles.- Yeah.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- Battle of Kursk.- Battle of Kursk. - And Battle of Jutland.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- Battle of Jutland.- And...
0:37:22 > 0:37:24And then we'll go for the Battle of Marathon
0:37:24 > 0:37:25for Decisive Battles Of The World.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28OK, for the second category, Battle of Marathon.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:31 > 0:37:34The best shot, if it's right, it'll be the last one - Marathon.
0:37:34 > 0:37:39OK, Marathon, we'll put last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- Jutland.- Jutland.- Jutland. - And then Kursk in the middle?
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Actually, Kursk is probably less well-known than Jutland.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- All right, we'll swap them round. - Jutland first, Kursk in the middle.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49- That's right. - And then Marathon at the end.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- BOTH:- Yes.- OK, let's put those up on the board in that order, then,
0:37:52 > 0:37:54and here they are. We have got...
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Well, three great battles up there.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Surely - surely - at least one of those
0:38:02 > 0:38:04will be pointless and will win that jackpot for you.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06£2,000, you'll be taking home.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08What would you like to do with your share of that, Leon?
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Mine will go straight to the wife.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12I've been told to come back with money,
0:38:12 > 0:38:14- or don't come back at all. - LAUGHTER
0:38:14 > 0:38:18- I know exactly where mine's going! - OK. Richard?
0:38:18 > 0:38:23I will probably use mine to take my partner away for a weekend.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27Neither of us have been to Paris or Prague or somewhere like that.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- Any of the other Ps. - It will certainly help.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Very nice. OK, fingers crossed one of these answers will be pointless,
0:38:32 > 0:38:35and will win you that jackpot. Your first answer is the Battle of Jutland.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38In this case, we were looking for any battles of the 20th century
0:38:38 > 0:38:41from Frankland and Dowling's Decisive Battles collection.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42You've gone for the Battle of Jutland.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Let's see if it's right. If it's pointless, it wins you £2,000.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48How many of our 100 people said Jutland?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53It's right.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56If it goes down to zero, you leave here with £2,000.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Down we go. Jutland takes us through the 20s,
0:38:58 > 0:39:00into the teens. We're still going down.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02We're in single figures. Down we go.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04- Still going down to three.- Ooh!
0:39:04 > 0:39:08APPLAUSE
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Wow. Good. Very, very good score there. Three.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Sadly, not a pointless answer.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18We move onto your next answer, which was the Battle of Kursk.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21And, again, we are looking for battles of the 20th century.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24If this is pointless, it will win you £2,000.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27How many of our 100 people went for the Battle of Kursk?
0:39:31 > 0:39:32It's right.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Battle of Jutland took us to three.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Battle of Kursk now takes us down through the 20s,
0:39:38 > 0:39:40into the teens. We are into single figures.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Down we go. We're still going down.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44We've passed three. We're on one!
0:39:44 > 0:39:49- LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE - Oh, dear.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52- All moving in the right direction. - You can't say we're not trying.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54No, you certainly can't.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56- Beautifully ordered, if I may say, as well.- Thank you.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59In order to keep that ordering up, there's only one place it can go.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01So, very, very best of luck.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03We now turn to the Battle of Marathon.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05In this case, we are looking for anything
0:40:05 > 0:40:08from Creasy's 15 Decisive Battles Of The World.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11The Battle of Marathon, your first answer, scored you three.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Your second answer scored you one.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17The Battle of Marathon, to complete that pattern,
0:40:17 > 0:40:20has, surely, to score you nothing. Let's find out.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22If it goes all the way down to pointless, it wins you £2,000.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25How many of our 100 people went for the Battle of Marathon?
0:40:28 > 0:40:30It's right.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Battle of Jutland took us to three.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Battle of Kursk took us to one.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38The Battle of Marathon takes us down through the teens
0:40:38 > 0:40:40and into single figures. We're still going down.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Down we go. We've gone to two!
0:40:42 > 0:40:44- AUDIENCE:- Oh! - Two!
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Well done. Enjoyed it.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Well, three exceptionally good scores there.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55And going down to one with Kursk - I mean, that's just cruel,
0:40:55 > 0:40:57- I'm afraid.- It happens. - Oh, I'm sorry.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00You clearly know your battles, and you'll know all the battles
0:41:00 > 0:41:02that come up on the board when Richard shows us the answers.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05You didn't find that pointless answer you needed, I'm afraid,
0:41:05 > 0:41:06so you don't win today's jackpot.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09That'll roll over to the next show. But what a strong performance.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11It's been great having you here. Thank you so much.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13It's been really enjoyable. Thank you.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16You get a Pointless trophy to take home in recognition of your achievement.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18But very well done, Leon and Richard.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Oh, man, that's a tough category, and you did amazingly.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28Three, two, one is extraordinary scoring. Very well played.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31During your 60 seconds, you dismissed one answer,
0:41:31 > 0:41:34which was the Battle of Midway, which was a pointless answer.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37- THEY GROAN - We said it!
0:41:37 > 0:41:40But you know what? Why would Kursk score one and Midway not score?
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Sometimes, it's absolutely a flip of the coin,
0:41:42 > 0:41:44so it's really unlucky. I'll take you through
0:41:44 > 0:41:48the pointless answers in the different categories now.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Ships at the Battle of Trafalgar - Ajax, Britannia,
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Dreadnaught, Formidable, which was the French flagship.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57The British took it and renamed it Brave.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Everything was pointless there apart from Victory,
0:42:01 > 0:42:04Neptune, Temeraire, the Santa Ana, Agamemnon,
0:42:04 > 0:42:07Leviathan and Redoutable. Everything else was a pointless answer.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Now, those Creasy's 15 Decisive Battles.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Let's take a look at a few of these.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15The Battles of Saratoga, the Siege of Orleans,
0:42:15 > 0:42:17the Battle of Blenheim, the Battle of Tours.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Everything was pointless apart from the Battle of Waterloo,
0:42:19 > 0:42:21the Battle of Hastings, the Battle of Marathon,
0:42:21 > 0:42:24and the defeat of the Spanish Armada.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27And Frankland and Dowling's Decisive Battles Of The 20th Century.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31The Battle of France, the Battle of the Marne,
0:42:31 > 0:42:33the Battle of Verdun, the Tet Offensive.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Everything pointless there apart from Battle of Britain,
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Battle of Stalingrad, the Battle of Jutland, as we know,
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Invasion of Normandy, El Alamein,
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Pearl Harbor, and the Battle of Kursk.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Really, really unlucky.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46I hope you got some of those at home,
0:42:46 > 0:42:49but what a terrific performance. Terrific show, as well.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Very good. Thanks, Richard. Thank you so much, Leon and Richard,
0:42:52 > 0:42:54for being such fantastic contestants. It's been great.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Sadly, they didn't win our jackpot,
0:42:56 > 0:42:58which means it rolls over onto the next show
0:42:58 > 0:43:01when we will be playing for £3,000.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
