0:00:20 > 0:00:23APPLAUSE Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where the aim of the game is to avoid the obvious answers
0:00:28 > 0:00:30and find the obscure ones.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Hi, I'm Nathan. This is my friend, Chris,
0:00:38 > 0:00:40We're both from Chelmsford, in Essex.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Couple number two.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Hi, my name's Ruth.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45This is my husband, Ambrish, and we're from Bexleyheath.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Couple number three.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Hi, my name's Ken and this is my daughter, Sarah,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50and we're from Newcastle upon Tyne.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- And finally, couple number four. - I'm Charlie, I'm from Kent.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55And this is my friend, Rosalie, from Nottingham.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56And these are today's contestants.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59APPLAUSE
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Thank you very much, all of you. A warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Lovely to have you here. We'll get a chance to chat
0:01:03 > 0:01:05to each of you throughout 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 got a finger in every pie to 98 decimal places.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- APPLAUSE - Hiya. Hey, everybody.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Hiya.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19- Good afternoon, sir. - Good afternoon.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- Now, three things we need to talk about.- Yes.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Firstly, two returning players -
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Charlie and Rosalie got knocked out in Round One,
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- Sarah and Ken got through to the head-to-head.- Yep.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Secondly, that head-to-head was against Andy and Gavin.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31- It was.- Our Scottish friends.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35They played a jackpot round about JFK. Played it so well,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37they got three pointless answers.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Did they not? Walked away with three grand.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Lovely gents as well.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Lovely, yeah. - And three, most importantly,
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Chris's hat.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Yes. LAUGHTER
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Yes.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48- That's the big one, isn't it?- Yes.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Yeah. There's literally people at home
0:01:50 > 0:01:52who are just not paying any attention to anything
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- either of us are going to say now for the next 20 minutes.- Yeah.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57As they come to terms with what they're seeing.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Yeah. Somewhere, there is going to be a ringmaster watching,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03going, "Oi! There it is! Grr!"
0:02:03 > 0:02:06That is a bold move, isn't it?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08It is a bold move. I don't even need to look at it,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- cos I can remember it.- Yeah. - It's singed onto my retina.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- Also, feels more like a podium four hat.- It does.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15I bet a bit of him was thinking, "I wish I was on podium four."
0:02:15 > 0:02:16- Yeah.- And we could get to the hat.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Yeah.- But he's like, right... I mean, he's right there.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- He's right there.- On podium one.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Hat very much to the fore.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Yeah.- Everyone else trying to look over it,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26like people sitting behind me in a cinema!
0:02:26 > 0:02:29LAUGHTER
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Look, listen. The sooner we start,
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- the sooner we get to hear about the hat, so shall we?- Done. OK.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Excellent. XANDER GIGGLES
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Now, Andy and Gavin won the jackpot last time,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39so today's jackpot starts off at a nice...
0:02:41 > 0:02:42..modest £1,000. There it is.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52You are to remember this at all times.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55The pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:55 > 0:02:56will be eliminated. That is it,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59just keep your scores low and you've got nothing to worry about.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Our first category today is...
0:03:05 > 0:03:06Can you all decide in your pairs
0:03:06 > 0:03:09who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17And the question concerns...
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Richard.- Yeah, we're going to show you the names of seven films
0:03:25 > 0:03:28on each pass. You need to tell us the name of the actor who won
0:03:28 > 0:03:32the Best Actress Oscar for her role in that film, please.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35We're also going to give you the year they won the Oscar.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37OK, so we are looking for the Best Actress Oscar winners
0:03:37 > 0:03:39from each of these films.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Here is our first board of seven, and we have got...
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Chris, welcome to Pointless.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Thank you. - Very good to have you here.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15Tell me about that shirt.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I notice it's got... LAUGHTER
0:04:17 > 0:04:20I'm just... Actually, what I'm really enjoying about that shirt
0:04:20 > 0:04:22is it's got, you've got your buttons are regularly spaced,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24and then, whoa! Suddenly there are two buttons together
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- with less than an inch between them. - It's a bit of a surprise, isn't it?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30A bit of a surprise. It's a very fine shirt.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- What do you do, Chris? - Both Nathan and I are ecologists.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36That's a good thing to be doing.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Where do you do your ecology?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40We do it in...South Essex.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- South Essex.- And what sort of form does your particular ecology take?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47So we will do habitat surveys and surveys for protected species.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- I see. So bat surveys?- Bat surveys.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Is where most... A lot of people are getting familiar with bat
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- surveys now.- Yeah.- We found out the other day that, on this show,
0:04:54 > 0:04:56we found that a wombat wasn't a bat.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- We were very much taken aback, weren't we?- Very much taken aback.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I did always think it was a bat.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Do you... Hang on. Is Chris ready for this?
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- Did you know that the wombat wasn't a bat?- I did.- Hm.- Sorry.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Have you made any good friends doing the bat thing?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Plenty of bat friends, yeah.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10What do you wear
0:05:10 > 0:05:12when you're doing the bat surveys?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Apart from my... You mean my Batman costume?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17LAUGHTER
0:05:17 > 0:05:18I wasn't really going to make
0:05:18 > 0:05:20any kind of judgments at all at this stage.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I wanted just... I was wondering, what kind of...
0:05:23 > 0:05:25How many bats are there? RICHARD LAUGHS
0:05:25 > 0:05:27There's a pipit bat... How many types of bats...?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Sorry, how many bats are there?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31- I mean...- Is that your question?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Yeah, go on, Chris, answer the question.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34- How many bats are there?- 17?
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- 70?- 17. One, seven.- 17? OK.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- And what's the rarest?- I don't know.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42I think it's a mouse-eared bat.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Mouse-eared bat.- Yeah. - Very good indeed. Thank you, Nathan.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47It's one that sort of pops over and disappears
0:05:47 > 0:05:49across the Channel again each year.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50A mouse-eared... Known cos its ears...
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- I think so, yeah. - ..look sort of like mice.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- I've never seen one. But, yeah. - Well, there we are. Good.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Now, Chris, what about this board of female...?
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Looking at the board, I can see... Two answers are popping out to me.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07But I think I'm going to have to go with Silence Of The Lambs
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- and Jodie Foster. - Jodie Foster, says Chris.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Let's see if hats, bats...that's right.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jodie Foster.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21It's right.
0:06:23 > 0:06:2442 for Jodie Foster.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Not bad, not bad. Less than 50.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Well played, Chris.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Yeah, also won for The Accused.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Now, Ambrish. Welcome to Pointless. Good to have you.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- What do you do, Ambrish? - I work in the oil industry.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- Based where?- Canary Wharf.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Did it involve you having to travel all around the world?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Not so much. I've been to Azerbaijan.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49But, you know, there's potential for me to go to Chad, maybe.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- But... - Mainly in the Docklands, though?
0:06:51 > 0:06:52That seems to be where you're based.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Which is nice. I mean, you know, good.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56What are your interests, Ambrish?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59I'm into my sport. I like football, cricket, Formula 1. I do like films,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02although this board's not doing a lot for me, I think.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Not seen a lot of them.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06It's nice having people whose names are so like
0:07:06 > 0:07:09the location of the Archers.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I don't actually know where that is, either.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Especially with Ruth here.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14I know! Ruth and Ambridge.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- Oh, right. - We've got the whole thing!
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- Anyway, now, Ambrish, what would you like to go for?- Um...
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Like I say, I'm not having a lot of joy with that board.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I think I'm going to have to go with Mary Poppins.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Was that Julie Andrews?
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Julie Andrews. How many of our 100 people said Mary...
0:07:31 > 0:07:32..Julie Andrews?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38It's right. 42 is the only score we have posted.
0:07:38 > 0:07:4062 is what we get for Julie Andrews.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Well played. Yeah, she was nominated
0:07:44 > 0:07:46twice more for the Sound Of Music, obviously,
0:07:46 > 0:07:48and for Victor Victoria.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Thank you very much, Richard.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Now then, Sarah, welcome back.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Remind us what you do, Sarah.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I work for a department store in the centre of Newcastle.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59In the centre of Newcastle, and you've been there for ten years.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- Ten years, yes.- What is your department in the department store?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05I look after the nursery department.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Oh, that's nice. That's quite an important...
0:08:07 > 0:08:08- It is, yeah.- Of all the departments,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11that's the one where every single customer needs bespoke advice.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Absolutely, yeah.- Wow.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Now, Sarah, how do you find this board?
0:08:18 > 0:08:22I thought I knew one, and just moments ago,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I realised I was thinking of the wrong film.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Oh, no!- So this is a little bit of a risk,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31cos I'm not 100% sure if it's right,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34but I'm going to go for The Hours and Meryl Streep.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Meryl Streep for The Hours, says Sarah. Let's see if that's right.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Let's see how many of our 100 people said Meryl Streep.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Oh! Do you know what? I would have said exactly the same.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- Yeah.- Not Meryl Streep, I'm afraid.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Yeah.- So you and I, both wrong there, only I'm afraid it's only you
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- who scored 100 points.- Yeah. - It's not fair.- Yeah, sorry, Sarah.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Plenty of people would have made the same mistake.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56She is in The Hours, but, yeah,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59she wasn't nominated for Best Actress for it. Sorry.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Now, Charlie.- Hello.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Welcome back to Pointless.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Remind us what you do, Charlie.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I'm a Masters student at the University of Kent.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09That is right, and you are studying what?
0:09:09 > 0:09:10International relations.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11International relations.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14How much more time have you got on your Masters-ship?
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- I've got a year.- What do you think you'll do on completion?
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Save the world...again.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- Save the world.- From everything!
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Will you just hurl yourself into international relations?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- Yeah.- Maybe will you do it a different way?
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- I've no idea. This is how far ahead I plan.- OK. Very good.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32What are you going to be doing at the weekend, Charlie?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- RICHARD LAUGHS - I actually don't know that either.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36XANDER GASPS Make a plan instantly.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40What would you normally like to do at a weekend? What would...?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42It just depends what's on. I live in a town where nothing happens,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- so I don't normally do anything... - Hang on, where do you live?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47A really small town in North Kent.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- Called?- Sittingbourne.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Nothing happens in Sittingbourne?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53I have the What's On Sittingbourne magazine right here.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- It's two pages long. - You're right, you're right.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59There is... I tell you what, outside the Three Wheat Heads,
0:09:59 > 0:10:03the Morris men are meeting at 11.30 on Saturday morning.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04- Of course.- Don't miss that.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- How could I forget? - There you are, yeah.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Charlie, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11It's all yours. If you want to talk us through it, you can.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Well, I would love to talk you through it,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15but I would just be reading what's already there.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17That's how much I know,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19so this is genuinely just going to be a film and an actress
0:10:19 > 0:10:21in vain hope.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Please don't kill me, Rosalie.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26It's going to be The Reader and...
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Who's an actress that does things? Amanda Siegfried?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31"An actress that does things!"
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Amanda Siegfried, says Charlie.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Oh, who saw that coming? - I'm afraid an incorrect answer,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44but you're in very, very good company
0:10:44 > 0:10:46cos Sarah and Ken are on 100 as well.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Yeah, let's fill in the rest of this board, shall we?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Now, The Reader is...
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- Kate Winslet.- ..Kate Winslet.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53She would have scored you 22.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56The Hours, not Meryl Streep, although she is in it,
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- is Nicole Kidman.- Of course, yes. - That would've scored you 12 points.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- Funny Girl?- Is Barbra Streisand.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Barbra Streisand. That would have scored you 39.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- Gone With The Wind?- Vivien Leigh.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Correct. Would have scored you 22. And the best answer on the board,
0:11:10 > 0:11:12The Trip To Bountiful, very well done if you said
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Geraldine Page. Would have scored you one point,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- terrific answer.- Very Good. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18We're over halfway through the round,
0:11:18 > 0:11:20let's take a look at those scores.
0:11:20 > 0:11:2242, actually, the best score of the pass, Chris.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23So very, very well done there.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25You've set yourself and Nathan up very well indeed.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Then we travel over to Ambrish.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Ambrish and Ruth have got 62 on the board.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32And then it's up to 100, where we find Charlie and Rosalie
0:11:32 > 0:11:34and Sarah and Ken. So, Rosalie and Ken,
0:11:34 > 0:11:36it's going to be between you, I think,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38to see who leaves and who stays with us at the end of the round.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Best of luck with that. We come back down the line now.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48OK, let's put seven more films up on the board. And here they are.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50We've got...
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Let's read those all again.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Rosalie, welcome back.- Hi. - Remind us what you do, Rosalie.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22I'm doing a PhD in chemistry at Nottingham.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24That is right. And what are your interests, Rosalie?
0:12:24 > 0:12:28I look after my parents'
0:12:28 > 0:12:32baby bunnies and stuff like that, and then I...
0:12:32 > 0:12:35The only sport that I can really say I'm any good at is skiing.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Very good indeed. Do you go skiing every year?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- Do you try...- ? Most years. If we can afford it, yeah.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- Snowboarding?- No.- No.- No.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Traditionalist, quite right.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Now, Rosalie, what would you like to go for?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49You are high-scorers, joint high-scorers.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54I don't recognise any of the movies, so...
0:12:57 > 0:12:59I am going to go for The Room and Anne Hathaway,
0:12:59 > 0:13:02because that's the only actress that's coming into my head.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Anne Hathaway. Let's see. Anne Hathaway for The Room.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06No red line for you as you're joint high-scorers,
0:13:06 > 0:13:09but let's see how many of our 100 people said Anne Hathaway.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Ooh!
0:13:14 > 0:13:16I'm afraid not Anne Hathaway.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18That's cost you 100 points, takes your total up to 200.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Still in the game, though.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21We haven't had an answer from Ken yet.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25- Yeah, Anne Hathaway is in a slightly bigger film called Cottage.- OK.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27LAUGHTER
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Thank you very much indeed.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Now, Ken.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33- Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Good to have you with us again. Remind us what you do, Ken.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I was a community... a community mental health nurse
0:13:39 > 0:13:43in Newcastle upon Tyne, but now retired for the last four years.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45What do like to fill your time with, Ken?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47What would you like to do at the weekend?
0:13:47 > 0:13:48At the weekend...
0:13:49 > 0:13:50The weekend's often -
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Saturdays particularly - taken up with football.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Newcastle United fan.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01Otherwise, I'm a bit of DIY fanatic
0:14:01 > 0:14:04and currently building guitars out of bits of scrap wood.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Now hang on, building guitars?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I mean, DIY, I was thinking sort of cabinets and maybe the odd table.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Well, I do make the odd table.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Guitars? Do you order them in a pack, or do you...?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15No, no. I build them from scratch.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20Don't build the necks, but the bodies I built from scratch.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Do you get, do you send off for a neck?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- Cos it has to be fretted... - Yeah, yeah.- ..in a particular way.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26But what, the bodies, what do you build them out of?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Well, I've been making cigar box guitars,
0:14:28 > 0:14:30which you may or may not have heard of,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33but that's an old traditional craft,
0:14:33 > 0:14:35where people who couldn't afford to buy a guitar...
0:14:35 > 0:14:37- Yeah.- ..would build one out of an old cigar box,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39but cigar box manufacturers
0:14:39 > 0:14:42are now wise to that and they sell the cigar boxes
0:14:42 > 0:14:43at an inflated price,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45so I actually build my own boxes as well,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47and then fill them with bits of electronics,
0:14:47 > 0:14:48and put a few strings on.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51So they are semi-acoustic, are they? Or are they...
0:14:51 > 0:14:52No, no, they are electric.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Completely electric? I see. OK. Well, that's exciting.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58- How many have you made? - Five at the moment.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Very good indeed. So who's the most famous guitarist
0:15:00 > 0:15:03you've seen playing on a Ken guitar?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- Me, and I can't play very well. - That's what I was hoping for!
0:15:05 > 0:15:07There we are. Now, Ken, you have a target.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10If you can score 99 or less, you're through to the next round.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12I'd actually forgotten I was in a quiz show now.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I was just enjoying talking so much.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17I'm going to go for Erin Brockovich.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Slight gamble, but I think it's Julia Roberts.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Julia Roberts, says Ken.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Here is your red line.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25If you get below this, you are through to the next round.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Let's see how many of our 100 people said Julia Roberts.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32It's absolutely right, Ken, very well done.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34And you are into Round Two.
0:15:34 > 0:15:3661 is your score.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37161, your total.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Well played, Ken.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42One of her four Oscar nominations, her only win to date.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Very good indeed. Thank you very much indeed.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Now, Ruth, welcome to Pointless.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Lovely to have you here. What do you do, Ruth?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I am a human resources manager in the civil service.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54In the civil... You see, that's nice.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Normally, when we have civil servants, they just, say,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58"Well, we can't talk about what we do."
0:15:58 > 0:16:00And you have just told me fully what you do.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01What are your interests, Ruth?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03What do you do when you're not doing that?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Well, when I'm not at work,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08I have a bit of a second kind of career on the side.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11I play bass guitar in a couple of bands.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14That's exciting. Have you got a cigar box bass guitar,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- or have you...?- I don't, but maybe I'll have a word with Ken.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- They're quite fun!- Yeah. - Ken, have you made a bass guitar?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21I haven't, but I could do.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Yeah! That would be fun, wouldn't it?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25What sort of band is it? What do you play?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28We play '50s and '60s rock and roll covers.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31We play around North Kent, actually, near Sittingbourne.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32So, rock and roll, you could play
0:16:32 > 0:16:34a string base for that, couldn't you?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Yes, but it wouldn't fit in my Fiesta, to be honest.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Fair enough. Very good point.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39A collapsible string bass, maybe.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Now, Ruth, you are through, it doesn't matter what you score.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44There'll be no red line for you.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47But what would you like to go for on this board?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I think I know a couple.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50There is one I'm going to go for.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53I'm a bit surprised that she got an Oscar, actually.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54If I'm right.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57And Moonstruck, I think it's Cher.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Cher, says Ruth. Let's see if that's right. No red line for you.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03How many of our 100 people said Cher?
0:17:11 > 0:17:1334. Not bad at all.
0:17:13 > 0:17:1596 is your total.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Yeah, well played, Ruth. We tend to think of her slightly less
0:17:19 > 0:17:20as an actor these days, Cher,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22but that was her second nomination and first win.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Thank you very much, Richard.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Now, Nathan. A warm welcome to Pointless.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Now, I happen to know what you do, but just remind us.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I'm an ecologist, the same as Chris.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I go about doing habitat and species surveys.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Very good. So what's the most interesting species
0:17:36 > 0:17:37you've been sent out to survey?
0:17:37 > 0:17:40The most interesting? That's a good question. I think it's probably...
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Probably is bats.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Bats?- Most species we deal with, we deal on a single species basis,
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- but bats, you have 17, so... - So newts you haven't done?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Done some newt work. Done some dormouse work.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50- A bit of orchid work?- Orchid, yeah.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Did some stuff down at Juniper Hall in Surrey.- Juniper Hall?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Yeah, with Simon Harrap, who's an orchid specialist.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56He's a pretty interesting guy.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- Simon Harrap, the orchid man. - Yeah, yeah.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00- Harrap. Harrap, rap.- Yeah.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER
0:18:02 > 0:18:04- Got him.- That's the one.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07That's fun. I mean, what is the rarest, sort of,
0:18:07 > 0:18:11or the most specialist animal or species you've come across?
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- You're asking some good questions, Alexander.- Yeah.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17I think it's probably dormouse.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Oh! I love little dormice.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- They are endearing, yeah.- They are.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- Can I just say something about Nathan?- Yeah.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26It's the first ecologist I have ever met who doesn't wear a hat.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29LAUGHTER I was just thinking that, yeah.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30I was just thinking about that.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Now, Nathan, you are also through to the next round, which is good news.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34This board is all yours.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37If you want to talk us through it, you'd be very welcome.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39I'd like to talk you through it, but...
0:18:39 > 0:18:43..I don't really know any of those off the top of my head.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45So it would be a case of putting an actress to...
0:18:46 > 0:18:47..a, sort of, ballpark year.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51I think I'm going to go for Room, cos it's a recent film,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54and the only actress that I can think of at the moment
0:18:54 > 0:18:56is Jennifer Aniston.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58CONTESTANT LAUGHS
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- That's the only actress you can think of at the moment?- Yep.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Very much the actress of the moment.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04For Room, OK.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06There's no red hat for you...
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Line! Line! No red line for you, as you are already through.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jennifer Aniston.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19I'm afraid an incorrect answer there.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 142.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- But you're through.- Sorry, Nathan, never been nominated for an Oscar,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Jennifer Aniston. Room, do you know that one?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Named after a cheese.- Yes.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Brie Larson.- Brie Larson. Absolutely right. 10 points.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Elizabeth Taylor.- Elizabeth Taylor.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Would have scored you 20.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Gaslight?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- It's Ingrid Bergman.- Good. - Would have scored you 2 points.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42It is good, isn't it? Roman Holiday?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Is Audrey Hepburn. - The wonderful Audrey Hepburn.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46She would have scored you 21.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- And Cabaret?- Liza Minnelli.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Liza Minnelli, correct. And that would have scored you 40 points.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53We are at the end of our first round,
0:19:53 > 0:19:56and we have to say goodbye to one of our pairs.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57I'm sorry to say that pair...
0:19:57 > 0:19:59It's one of our returning pairs as well.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Rosalie and Charlie. I'm so sorry. It's been lovely having you with us.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Far too soon to be sending you away, back to Sittingbourne.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I didn't know all of those actors anyway, so it's fine.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Lovely to have you here, Rosalie and Charlie.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Thank you so much for playing. Great contestants.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13APPLAUSE
0:20:13 > 0:20:16But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22Look at that, we're down to three pairs.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25At the end of this round, we have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Well done, all of you, for making it through that round.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Ruth and Ambrish, our lowest scoring pair.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33And, Ruth, our lowest individual scorer, so very well done to you.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43who's going to go second? And whoever's going first,
0:20:43 > 0:20:45please up to the podium.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:21:00 > 0:21:01No I in "team"!
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Teams with no I in their name.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Teams with no I in their name, Richard.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Yep, we're looking for any team in the top four flights
0:21:08 > 0:21:10of English men's professional football, please,
0:21:10 > 0:21:14in the 2016, 2017 season, with no I in their name.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Best of luck. - Thank you very much indeed,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Richard. So, Nathan...
0:21:19 > 0:21:21I'll have to just go with something blatantly obvious,
0:21:21 > 0:21:24because a lot of the ones I can think of either have "City"
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- or "United" in the name.- Mm. - So it's going to have to be...
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- ..Arsenal.- Arsenal?
0:21:29 > 0:21:30- Yeah.- Says Nathan.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Let's see how many of our 100 people said Arsenal.
0:21:39 > 0:21:4148 for Arsenal.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42There we go, not bad.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Nathan, well played. No Is there.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Ambrish.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- Yes.- What would you like to go for? - I've got a few answers in my head.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55I'm just trying to work out which one is going to be the most obscure.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58But I think I'm going to go for Wrexham.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Wrexham?- Yeah. - Wrexham, says Ambrish.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Oh, no!
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Oh! Ambrish.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11- I'm a bit shocked.- A bit shocked,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13that's a good shocked face, actually.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15I'm afraid that's incorrect for a reason
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I'm sure we'll shortly discover. That scores you 100 points.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Sorry, they've been in and out of the league,
0:22:19 > 0:22:21but currently not in the league.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23They're in the National League, the fifth tier,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25the first of non-league football. Sorry.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26Thank you very much indeed.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27Now, Sarah.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30What would you like to go for?
0:22:30 > 0:22:34I had a risky one, just in case I needed it.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36But I didn't know which league they played in.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38However, I don't feel like I need it now.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Sorry, Ambrish. Um...
0:22:40 > 0:22:43I'm going to go for Everton.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Everton, says Sarah. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Everton.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52It's right. Well, 100 was our highest score, you've passed that,
0:22:52 > 0:22:5448 our low, you've passed that.
0:22:54 > 0:22:5630. Very well done indeed, Sarah.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Yeah, well played.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Couple of Es, one O, no Is there.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- Nope.- Good work from Everton.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Very good. Very good.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10There's a V, and an R, and a T and an N as well.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12That's all your letters.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15You can spell the whole of the word Everton with just those.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17What about that? Thank you very much indeed.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19We are halfway through the round, let's look at those scores.
0:23:19 > 0:23:2030, best score of the pass.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Well done. 48 is where we find Nathan and Chris.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25And 100, Ambrish and Ruth, is where we find you.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29I applaud what you did there with Wrexham, you just went too far.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33- I had so many others!- I bet you did. I'm sorry, Ambrish.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Ruth, who knows what will happen in the next pass.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37But a low score from you might keep you in the game.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Good luck. We come back down the line now.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47OK. So, Ken. Remember, we're looking for
0:23:47 > 0:23:51any football team whose name does not contain the letter I.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57OK. I'm going to go for Wycombe Wanderers.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Wycombe Wanderers, says Ken.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Very good indeed.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03There is your red line. If you get below that,
0:24:03 > 0:24:04you are into the head-to-head.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10It's right.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13And you're into the head-to-head, Ken.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Still going down, still going down...
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Down all the way to pointless! Very well done indeed.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21That adds £250 to today's jackpot.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Takes the total up to £1,250.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26It scores you nothing, leaves your total at 30,
0:24:26 > 0:24:30and wins you the admiration of your daughter and the entire studio.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Very well done. 30 is your total.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Yes, very well played. The Chairboys of Wycombe Wanderers.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Nearly 20 letters in that, none of them I.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- It's impressive, is it? - Yeah. That is something.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42- And it's got a Y in it.- I know.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Doing the work of an I.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Yes, all the heavy lifting of an I.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- But not actually an I. It's perfect.- Clever.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Very clever. Ruth. Oh, Ruth.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Now, poor... Oh, Ambrish, I'm sorry.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58I'm sorry. You must... I bet you were so pleased with Wrexham.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- I was.- I thought that sounded like a pointless answer.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I've got to redeem us.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05OK. Um...
0:25:06 > 0:25:08I'm going to go for Bolton Wanderers.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09Bolton Wanderers.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Well, the Wanderers have done very well for Ken.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Let's see if they can for you, with Bolton.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Let's see how many of our 100 people said Bolton Wanderers.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18No red line, you're the high scorers.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21It's right.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Down it goes, still going down, still going down,
0:25:27 > 0:25:28down to five.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Very well done indeed, 105 is your total.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36One of the founding members of the football league, Bolton Wanderers.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Had a steady decline recently, but hopefully on their way back up now.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Thank you very much, Richard.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Now then, Chris.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Now then.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Where did the hat come from, Chris?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- It was a gift.- That's nice.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53From Nathan, and several other of my lovely housemates at university.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Oh, I see. Quite sort of Willy Wonka, isn't it?
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- Definitely, yeah. - It's definitely theatrical.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Yeah.- Do you find that you have to be quite theatrical
0:26:01 > 0:26:03when you're wearing it?
0:26:03 > 0:26:07I find that sort of comes to me when the hat gets put on, anyway.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Right. OK. Chris.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13You're on 48. You have to score 56 or less.
0:26:14 > 0:26:1756 or less. Now, I noticed Nathan struggled a bit with this.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Would I be right in thinking that you are also not completely...
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Completely across...
0:26:22 > 0:26:27I was hoping that Nathan was the football member of our duo up here.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- Ah.- So...- I see.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Can I go for Blackburn Rovers?
0:26:32 > 0:26:33Blackburn Rovers.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36OK. Blackburn Rovers says Chris.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Here is your red line. If you can get below that
0:26:38 > 0:26:40with Blackburn Rovers, you're into the head-to-head.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43How many of our 100 people said Blackburn Rovers?
0:26:45 > 0:26:46It's right.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49And it gets you into the head-to-head.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Perfectly good, Chris.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Look at that. Down it goes, still going down.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54It's a two-er.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56It rather neatly takes your total up to 50.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Very well done.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Yeah, very well played.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Before the pointless answers, I'll just go through some of
0:27:03 > 0:27:05the low scorers that scored two and lower.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Two also for Fleetwood Town, Shrewsbury Town, Cheltenham Town,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Doncaster Rovers, Crystal Palace.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Notts County and Barnsley would have scored you two.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17One point for Crawley Town, Luton Town, Brentford, Barnet, Port Vale,
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Rochdale and Newport County.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21The four pointless answers, let's take a look at them.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Well done if you said Walsall, Stevenage, Morecambe...
0:27:27 > 0:27:30..or Wycombe Wanderers. Very well done, Ken.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33In other news, Fulham drew six-all with Derby County.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36That was a cracking game, and the top three we've already heard,
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Arsenal, Everton, and Chelsea were in second with 34.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Thank you, Richard. So at the end of our second round,
0:27:42 > 0:27:44and I'm sorry to say, Ruth and Ambrish,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46you are the pair we have to say goodbye to.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50I'm so sorry. Yeah, Wrexham let you down there.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Anyway. On the strength of your performance up to Wrexham,
0:27:53 > 0:27:55and including the spirit of Wrexham, I'm sure you'll go much,
0:27:55 > 0:27:58much further next time. But thank you very much for playing,
0:27:58 > 0:28:00- Ruth and Ambrish.- Thank you.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05But for the remaining two pairs it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Congratulations, Sarah and Ken, Chris and Nathan.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15You're now one step closer to the final,
0:28:15 > 0:28:17and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:28:17 > 0:28:20which currently stands at £1,250.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23We've made it to the head-to-head. So you now start playing as a team.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25You confer before you give an answer
0:28:25 > 0:28:27and the first pair to win two questions
0:28:27 > 0:28:28will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Well, hats off to both pairs there.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33It's great to have you here.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Ken, our only pointless answer of the show.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39And Chris and Nathan, very well done.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Made it all the way here, only one point between you, actually.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44So it should be very, very close indeed.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Best of luck. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55Here is your first question. And it concerns...
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- Richard?- We'll show you five pictures now of famous TV cooks,
0:29:00 > 0:29:02can you identify the most obscure of these, please?
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five TV cooks,
0:29:05 > 0:29:07and here they are. We've got...
0:29:38 > 0:29:40There we are. Five TV cooks.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Sarah and Ken, you're our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53It's a bit of a punt.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59E, Angela Hartnett?
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Angela Hartnett, say Sarah and Ken for E.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Now, Chris and Nathan.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Talk us through that board, if you can?
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Well, personally, I only know two of them.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Both of whom I think would be fairly obvious. Er...
0:30:13 > 0:30:17One of them looks a little bit beyond my generation, I think.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19- No offence to you. - I think I have an idea.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- Oh, that's a... "Beyond my generation"!- That's weird.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24XANDER SCOFFS INDIGNANTLY
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Don't think you can dress up "Before my time"
0:30:26 > 0:30:28by saying "Beyond my generation!"
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Don't come on here just cos your partner's wearing a hat,
0:30:30 > 0:30:33and think you'll say something is before your time.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35It's given me a false sense of entitlement, I'm sorry.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Yellow card. Official yellow card.
0:30:39 > 0:30:40- OK. I'll go with it.- Yeah?
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Yeah, it's better than my two.
0:30:42 > 0:30:47OK. I think we are going to go for B, Julia Child.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49- Julia?- Child.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Julia Child.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55OK. So we have Angela Hartnett and we have Julia Child.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Sarah and Ken said Angela Hartnett for E.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Let's see if that's right, and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:31:06 > 0:31:07It is right.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11And it's a low... Look at that, down to three!
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Three for Angela Hartnett.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20That is great good score.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24Now, Chris and Nathan have taken a punt on B,
0:31:24 > 0:31:26and have said Julia Child. Let's see if that's right,
0:31:26 > 0:31:29how many of our 100 people said Julia Child? Is it right?
0:31:31 > 0:31:33It is Julia Child!
0:31:34 > 0:31:36It is Julia Child.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41LAUGHING: And it scores one!
0:31:41 > 0:31:43What about that?!
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Well done.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Well done, you, Chris and Nathan. That is a great answer.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52It means, after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:31:52 > 0:31:53Very, very well played, yeah.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57Julia Child, The French Chef, lots of other shows that she presented.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00A, of course, is Heston Blumenthal.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02He would have scored you 49 points.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07C, my favourite, Atul Kochhar would have scored you two.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12And the biggest scorer, the lovely Ainsley Harriott,
0:32:12 > 0:32:15he would have scored you 61.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18So here comes your second question,
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Chris and Nathan get to answer this one first.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Sarah and Ken, you have to win this to stay in the game.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27Very best of luck. Our second question today is all about...
0:32:28 > 0:32:32- Richard?- Simply five clues to facts about Mount Everest,
0:32:32 > 0:32:34which of the answers is the most obscure?
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five clues,
0:32:36 > 0:32:39and here they come. We've got...
0:32:57 > 0:32:58I shall read those all again.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20There we are. Chris and Nathan will go first.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28We think we only know two of them.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33So we're going to go for what we think is the most obscure,
0:33:33 > 0:33:34and what's most likely to be correct,
0:33:34 > 0:33:37the Tibetan name commonly given to local mountain guides,
0:33:37 > 0:33:38which is sherpas.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Sherpas, say Chris and Nathan. Sherpas.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42Now, Sarah and Ken.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45What else do you know on that board?
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Well, we know the first two.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51Edmund Hillary climbed Everest in 1953.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55And the mountain range is the Himalayas.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Struggling with the other two. Sherpas is right.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01And I think we'll probably just go for the decade.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03The 1950s.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05OK, the 1950s.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07So we have sherpa, and we have 1950s.
0:34:07 > 0:34:08Chris and Nathan said sherpa.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:34:14 > 0:34:15It's right.
0:34:19 > 0:34:2137 for sherpa.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Sarah and Ken, meanwhile, have gone for the 1950s,
0:34:26 > 0:34:29the decade of Hillary and Tenzing reaching the summit.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Let's see how many of our 100 people said the '50s.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36It's right.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40Ooh!
0:34:41 > 0:34:43I knew this was going to be close.
0:34:44 > 0:34:4737 for Chris and Nathan means Chris and Nathan,
0:34:47 > 0:34:50after only two questions, you are straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Well played, dates are usually good ones to go for.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55I think it was announced just after Queen Elizabeth's Coronation,
0:34:55 > 0:34:57I think maybe it's a famous decade.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59But that is unlucky.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02You wouldn't have saved yourself with the mountain range -
0:35:02 > 0:35:03it is the Himalayas, of course.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05It would have scored you 59.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08The British name, this is a pointless answer,
0:35:08 > 0:35:10very well done if you got it, it's Peak XV.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Oh, that's nice.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Yeah, it is nice, isn't it? Pointless answer.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16His name was "Ee-verest", rather than Everest.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18- It was Ee-verest? - Yeah, but we call it Everest.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20And the British mountaineer,
0:35:20 > 0:35:22probably the most famous mountaineer other than Hillary.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25- Is it Mallory? I don't know his Christian name.- It's George Mallory.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27George Mallory.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29It would have scored you two points, well done if you said that at home.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Thank you very much indeed.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33We are at the end of our head-to-head round.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36And I'm sorry to say, Sarah and Ken, two fabulous performances,
0:35:36 > 0:35:38consecutively on Pointless.
0:35:38 > 0:35:39You've been in the head-to-head,
0:35:39 > 0:35:41gone one step better, our low scorers this time.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44But I'm afraid you didn't make it through to the final round,
0:35:44 > 0:35:46which is a great shame. It's been lovely having you here.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- Thank you for playing, Sarah and Ken!- Cheers.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55But for Chris and Nathan, it is now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Well, congratulations, Chris and Nathan,
0:36:01 > 0:36:02you've seen off all the competition.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05And you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:13 > 0:36:19At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,250.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Well, Julia Child, you suddenly pull that name out of a hat -
0:36:22 > 0:36:24extraordinary. Where did that come from?
0:36:24 > 0:36:26OK, I'm going to come clean. Er...
0:36:26 > 0:36:31It came from a YouTube series called Epic Rap Battles Of History.
0:36:32 > 0:36:37- Wow.- And Julia Child rapped against Gordon Ramsay.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40LAUGHTER
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Listen, nothing wrong with that, that's how we learn stuff.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45But... It's paid off. Massively.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Look at that. Anyway, well, here you are, in the final,
0:36:48 > 0:36:49playing for the jackpot.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52What would you like to see come up on the board behind me?
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Anything scientific.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Yeah, anything to do with science. Maybe avoid chemistry,
0:36:56 > 0:36:59but I think we're both pretty strong on natural history,
0:36:59 > 0:37:00so if something like that came up, ideal.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02OK. Well, very, very best of luck,
0:37:02 > 0:37:04let's see what today's selection looks like. We have got...
0:37:15 > 0:37:19OK, I feel like you'd probably be quite good at Celebrity TV.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21I think that's definitely our best shot out of the four.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Yeah.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27Sporting Siblings, it's Andy and Jamie Murray, the Williams sisters,
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- and that's it.- Yeah. I agree. Um...
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Yeah, let's do Celebrity TV.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- Celebrity TV it is. Richard? - OK, very best of luck, gents.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Here are your three different categories. We are looking for...
0:37:37 > 0:37:41Anybody who took part in the I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!
0:37:41 > 0:37:42series in 2015, please.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44That's the one that ended in December 2015.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48Anyone who took part in the 2016 Celebrity Big Brother,
0:37:48 > 0:37:50the one that started in January 2016.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Or anyone who took part in Strictly Come Dancing 2015,
0:37:53 > 0:37:56again, the one that ended in December 2015.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Strictly Come Dancing celebrities, not the regular dancers.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09As always, you've got one minute to come up with three answers.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10And all you need to win that jackpot
0:38:10 > 0:38:13is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:38:13 > 0:38:17- Yes.- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- There they are. Your time starts now.- OK. I'm A Celebrity.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22I'm A Celebrity, I wasn't following the latest series,
0:38:22 > 0:38:25but I'll take a stab, who's come to the limelight recently?
0:38:25 > 0:38:29I'd say perhaps Joey Essex. I think he might have been in there.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- Yeah?- Yeah.- Again, I don't think I've seen any of these...
0:38:32 > 0:38:34- No.- ..these shows.
0:38:34 > 0:38:39I think I saw the 2014 one, was that when the Geordie Shore girl won it?
0:38:39 > 0:38:40I don't know, I don't know.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43We'll go Joey Essex for that, I think.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Strictly Come Dancing, 2015,
0:38:45 > 0:38:47can you remember the dancers rather than contestants?
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- Just the contestants was the... - OK.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- And so...- I think Scott Mills was on there.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- That's going to be popular, but it's better than nothing.- Sure.
0:38:55 > 0:38:56That's about all I can get in.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59OK, Scott Mills. Celebrity Big Brother, again, no idea.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01It doesn't have to be from that, it can the other two again.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Can you think of any more on I'm A Celebrity?
0:39:04 > 0:39:07I do remember there was a girl from The Only Way Is Essex.
0:39:07 > 0:39:08It was one of the girls.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10- Ten seconds left. - One of the girls?
0:39:10 > 0:39:13- Lydia?- Name lots of names. No.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15- Amy Childs?- No.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- Megan?- Yes, let's go with that.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20OK, that is your time up, I'm afraid.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Let's have your three answers.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24And say which category you are answering in.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27- OK, so we'll go for Strictly Come Dancing 2015.- Yes.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30- Say Scott Mills for that one. - Scott Mills.- Yeah.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31And I'm A Celebrity,
0:39:31 > 0:39:33we're going to take two real punts and say Joey Essex.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- Joey Essex.- And can you remember Megan's surname?
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Megan McKenzie?
0:39:38 > 0:39:39Megan McKenzie.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41- Nice.- OK, very good indeed.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Best shot is probably Megan.
0:39:45 > 0:39:46Megan McKenzie goes last, OK.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:48 > 0:39:51- Scott Mills.- Scott Mills, and then we put Joey Essex in the other one.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then,
0:39:54 > 0:39:56and here they are.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59We've got Scott Mills, Joey Essex, and Megan McKenzie.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Well, good luck, three answers there,
0:40:01 > 0:40:04one of those could win you that jackpot. £1,250.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05Not a bad sum to be taking home.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Chris, what would you do with your share of that?
0:40:08 > 0:40:09Well, I think...
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Trip to the milliner's, I think.
0:40:11 > 0:40:16Yeah, probably get a set of tails and a cane to go with the hat.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Would you go with the red, see that theme through?
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Let's not be too garish.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26I'm thinking maybe a purple velvet, or something.
0:40:26 > 0:40:27More understated, yes.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29- Yeah, of course.- Very good.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31- Nathan, how about you?- I think I'd probably go somewhere in Europe
0:40:31 > 0:40:33for a weekend with the girlfriend.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Very good indeed. OK, well, best of luck.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38Three good answers. Your first answer was Scott Mills.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40In this case we were looking for anyone who danced
0:40:40 > 0:40:42on Strictly Come Dancing 2015.
0:40:42 > 0:40:43Let's see if it's right.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47If it's pointless, Scott Mills will win you £1,250.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Let's see how many people said Scott Mills.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57I'm afraid not Scott Mills.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59So we move quickly on to your next answer. Joey Essex.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01We were looking for anyone who was
0:41:01 > 0:41:03on I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! 2015.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08If it's pointless, it will win you £1,250.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09How many people said Joey Essex?
0:41:12 > 0:41:13Oh, no!
0:41:15 > 0:41:17OK, we move on to your third and final answer,
0:41:17 > 0:41:19the one you thought was your best shot
0:41:19 > 0:41:21at a pointless answer, Megan McKenzie.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24The name swiftly came to you at the end of that minute.
0:41:24 > 0:41:25You suddenly got Megan McKenzie.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28Let's find out if it's right. We are looking for participants
0:41:28 > 0:41:30in I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! 2015.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34If Megan McKenzie is pointless, you leave here with £1,250.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36How many people said it? Megan McKenzie.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Oh, bad luck!
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Bad luck. Well...
0:41:45 > 0:41:47..that was a game effort,
0:41:47 > 0:41:49but I'm afraid it yielded no correct answers there.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51So I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot,
0:41:51 > 0:41:53that will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55But it's been great having you here. Great sports.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57And you get to take home the Pointless trophy.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- So very well done indeed. Chris and Nathan.- Thank you.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Sorry, gents, it's been great fun.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08It's been a roller-coaster ride, I think I would describe it as.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Scott Mills was in Strictly in 2014.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Joey Essex was in I'm A Celebrity in 2013.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Megan McKenzie, your guess very much as good as mine.
0:42:17 > 0:42:18LAUGHTER
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Ferne McCann was in I'm A Celebrity,
0:42:20 > 0:42:23but she would have scored you four points.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Let's look at the pointless answers, shall we?
0:42:25 > 0:42:26Only two for I'm A Celebrity.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Brian Friedman, the dancer,
0:42:29 > 0:42:31or Susannah Constantine from Trinny and Susannah.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Both pointless answers.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Four pointless answers for Celebrity Big Brother.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39The X Factor contestant, Christopher Maloney.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Kim Kardashian's mate, Jonathan Cheban.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45They were the pointless answers there.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Also four pointless answers for Strictly.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Anthony Agogo, the boxer.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Iwan Thomas, a pointless answer.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54The lovely Jamelia, she's my favourite.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57And the lovely Kirsty Gallacher as well. Also a pointless answer.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Also, well done if you're wearing a big red hat at home, too.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Thank you very much indeed.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07Well, Chris and Nathan, it's been great having you here,
0:43:07 > 0:43:08but sadly they didn't win our jackpot today
0:43:08 > 0:43:11which means it rolls over to our next show
0:43:11 > 0:43:14where we will be playing for £2,250. There it is.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
