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 game where we aim for the obscure and we ignore the obvious.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36- And couple number one.- My name's Dave. This is my wife, Penny.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38We're from Runcorn in Cheshire.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- Couple number two.- My name's Helen. This is my husband, Darren.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42And we're from the Wirral.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Couple number three.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Hi, I'm Linzi, and this is my mum, Kate,
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- and we're from Dunfermline. - And finally, couple number four.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Eni. This is my mate, Vaughn, and we're from Northampton.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And these are today's contestants.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Thanks very much, all of you. Welcome to Pointless.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59It's lovely to have you with us. We'll get a chance to chat to
0:00:59 > 0:01:01each of you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06He's got his eye for detail down to a T.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09An I which is dotted, and a T which is crossed, no doubt.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Hiya. Hey, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- Hello, there.- Hi.- How are you?
0:01:17 > 0:01:18I'm very well.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21We've got two lovely returning pairs onstage.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23David and Penny got knocked out in Round Two,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25and Kate and Linzi got knocked out in Round One.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Sort of one letter away from getting through, which is very unlucky.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Hopefully see more of both of you.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Lovely to welcome our newcomers as well.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Question two today, people are not going to like.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Oh, no. Change it.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42No, I refuse to. I think sometimes it's important to do things we don't like.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43XANDER SIGHS
0:01:43 > 0:01:45You know what I mean? Otherwise, it's all...
0:01:45 > 0:01:49If it was all candyfloss and Disney, you know, then when trouble comes...
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Do you know what? When candyfloss and Disney come up, people do very badly on them.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54We've never had a question on candyfloss.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- True.- We should do.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- We should.- I don't know what the questions would be.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- I don't know, either. - Colours of candyfloss.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I'm going to go blue.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03LAUGHTER
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Thank you. Well, listen, let's get on with the show.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Steve and George didn't win the jackpot last time.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10That's the big headline. So today's jackpot starts off...
0:02:10 > 0:02:12We're adding £1,000 to it.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16..today's jackpot starts off at £3,250. There we are.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27So, just remember this, the pair with the highest score at the end of
0:02:27 > 0:02:30each round will be eliminated. That's it, just remember that.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32You'll be fine. Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42who's going to go second? And whoever's going first,
0:02:42 > 0:02:43please step up to the podium.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49OK. And the question concerns...
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- How do you like that, Richard? - How do you like it?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58We're going to show you seven song titles on each board.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00We've removed a verb from each one.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02We're also going to show you the name of the person who had
0:03:02 > 0:03:04the first-ever UK Top 40 hit with that song,
0:03:04 > 0:03:06so there are going to be 14 in all to have a go at at home.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Very, very best of luck.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Cos I was educated in a comprehensive in the '80s,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11I'm very bad on what verbs...
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- Parts of speech. - ..adjectives and, erm, nouns are.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- I kind of know. - You've... You've got that...
0:03:17 > 0:03:18But I couldn't define one.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- No.- If you ask me to say what's a verb, I'd be like...
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- It's a doing thing.- A doing word.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28There we are. We're going to take the doing words out of these songs.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31And here are our first seven songs.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Let's read those again.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06There we are. David, welcome back to Pointless.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Lovely to have you with us.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Yes, it was Round Two we had to say goodbye to you last time.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Yeah.- Got to be looking for the head-to-head and beyond this time, surely, David.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- Remind us what you do. - I work in a credit union.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19That's right. And what do you like getting up to in Runcorn?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Playing on the Xbox, looking after me fish, looking after me son.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24How many fish have you got?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Roughly about 30. - More than you can remember.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- Yeah.- I like you said, "Look after my fish," before you said, "Look after my son."
0:04:31 > 0:04:32LAUGHTER
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Are they freshwater fish, or are they...?- Freshwater, yeah.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Yeah, cos if they're sea water, that's a lot of upkeep, isn't it?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40It's a lot of money and a lot of time.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Yeah. We don't need that.- Are your kids freshwater, or are they...?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Do you know what, they're both. - Are they?- They swim out to sea,
0:04:46 > 0:04:48and they come back all beautiful and silvery from the sea.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- How lovely.- It is lovely.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53It is nice. Now, David, what would you like to go for?
0:04:53 > 0:04:54I think we'll go for
0:04:54 > 0:04:58The Rolling Stones, Paint It Black.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Paint It Black, says David.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Let's see how many of our 100 people went for paint.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05It's right, it is paint.
0:05:07 > 0:05:0855.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Not a bad score, David.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Gets us off to a good start, 55.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Eight number one singles for the Rolling Stones.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19They once did a TV advert for Rice Krispies, The Stones.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- There you are. Now, Helen. - Hello.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Welcome to Pointless. It's great to have you here, Helen.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- What do you do? - I am a university administrator
0:05:27 > 0:05:31at the University of Liverpool, in the Psychology Department.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33That sounds interesting.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- How long have you been there? - Oh, about seven years.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37A good department, the Psychology Department?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39A great department. Really interesting.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Lots of students to look after, undergraduates and postgraduates,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45but always... Never the same two days.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47I bet. Never a dull moment.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Now, Helen, what would you like to go for
0:05:50 > 0:05:52on our board of verbless songs?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I know a few of them,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57but I think the one I'm going to go for is
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Can't Hide My Face, by The Weeknd.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Can't Hide My Face, says Helen.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Oh. Oh, Helen.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Oh, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I don't know why. We'll see why.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Oh, cos it's wrong. - LAUGHTER
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Oh, it's cos it's wrong, Helen.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22I'll give the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23It was given with such confidence.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I thought that was absolutely spot on.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Anyway, there we are. Kate, welcome back.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Lovely to have you here. From Dunfermline.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Yes.- Kate, we discovered last time that you are retired.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- Yes.- That's lovely.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36And what sort of fun things do you like to do with your time?
0:06:36 > 0:06:41I like cooking, I like gardening, I like walking,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I like socialising with friends.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Have you taken anything up since retiring?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- No, not really.- You haven't sort of become a bookbinder?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Well, I've been doing a bit of property development.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Oh, you didn't mention the property development.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54- That's fun.- Just a little bit.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57That's nice. Have you bought a place that you're going to renovate
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- and then sell on? - Yes, my husband is a builder, so...
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Are you living there while you're doing it?- No, no.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04No. That would be testing, I think, wouldn't it?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06How long till it's finished, do you think?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Erm, a couple of months.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Is this the first time you've project managed with your husband?
0:07:11 > 0:07:15- The first time I've project managed, yes.- Full stop?- Yes.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Are you quite a hard task master?
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Quite hard, I would say.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23That's good. Has to happen. Well, very good, how exciting. Good luck with all that.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Kate, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27I hope this is right.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31I'm going to go for Somebody Told Me.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Somebody Told Me, The Killers, says Kate.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Let's see how many of our 100 people said told.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45It's right. 55's our low score, and you've passed that.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46Down we go to 21.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Very well done indeed, Kate.
0:07:48 > 0:07:4921 for Somebody Told Me.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Good score, great song.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53It is a great song.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55That was their first UK Top 40 hit as well,
0:07:55 > 0:07:57for The Killers, from Hot Fuss.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- It's a great album.- Yeah.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- Yeah.- Good, thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- Now, Eni...- Hi.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08Eni... Yes, I'm going to enjoy our Eni questions at the end of each round.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09LAUGHTER
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Eni, welcome. Good to have you here. What do you do, Eni?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I just started studying medicine at the University of Manchester.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16When you say just, how long?
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Two days ago.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20XANDER GASPS
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Cos I've got this terrible ailment...
0:08:22 > 0:08:24LAUGHTER
0:08:24 > 0:08:26How is it going? Are you enjoying it?
0:08:26 > 0:08:27What have you done so far? Anything?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Just like lectures, not much work.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32You know, freshers.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35But on the evidence of what you've seen so far, it's going to be great?
0:08:35 > 0:08:36- Yeah.- Good, good.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38And it's exciting, though.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- So how long is the course? - It's five years.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44It's challenging, but hopefully rewarding.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Brilliant. At least you're not taking an immediate couple of
0:08:46 > 0:08:48days off to come and do a game show, which is good.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- It's a commitment thing.- Exactly.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52There we are. Now, Eni, what would you like to go for?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54This board's all yours. Do you want to talk us through it?
0:08:54 > 0:08:58I feel like Eric Clapton is I Shot The Sheriff.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Don't know why, but I'm not going to say that.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I'm going to go with Can't Feel My Face, for The Weeknd,
0:09:03 > 0:09:05which is the only one I think I know.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Can't Feel My Face, says Eni.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Let's see how many of our 100 people said feel.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15It is feel.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Well, 100 was our high score. You've passed that.
0:09:17 > 0:09:1921's our low score, and you've passed that.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Here we are, 19. Very well done, Eni.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- 19.- Well played, Eni.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28It's been a huge hit, that song.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Let's fill these in. You're quite right, it is I Shot The Sheriff.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33A very, very big scorer, though.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Would have scored you 84 points.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Of course, "I shot the sheriff but I didn't shoot the deputy is..."
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Why even mention it?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Stop at "I shot the sheriff" - you're still going to prison.- Yeah.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44I shot the sheriff...
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Oh, yeah, but, in my defence, I didn't shoot the deputy.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- OK, well...- You have to imagine that he's up for the murder of the deputy, isn't he?
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- You know what I think happened? - What?- The sheriff shot the deputy.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56This guy, Clapton,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59shot the sheriff because he was in love with the deputy.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- So it's a crime of passion. - Yeah...
0:10:03 > 0:10:06It is I See Fire, by Ed Sheeran.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Three points for that, very good answer.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10I always imagined that was "I see fire," as in,
0:10:10 > 0:10:12he was the fire officer on that day.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14It was just, "I see fire".
0:10:14 > 0:10:17I thought it was like icy fire, like ice on fire.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- Yeah?- Both of us, so wrong. - Yeah, I know, right?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- Do you know this next one? - I think it's rock.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25It is rock, yeah. Rock Around The Clock
0:10:25 > 0:10:27would have scored you 89 points.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30That's about when he had to go to the dentist,
0:10:30 > 0:10:33and the dentist said, "What have you been eating?"
0:10:34 > 0:10:36And the bottom one?
0:10:36 > 0:10:37- It's take.- It's Take On Me.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- There we go. - It's 58 points for that.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Very well done if you got single figures.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44OK. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:44 > 0:10:4619 was the best score of the pass, so, Eni, very well done indeed.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Eni and Vaughn looking very clever at this point,
0:10:49 > 0:10:50as, I have to say, are Kate and Linzi.
0:10:50 > 0:10:5355 is where you'll find David and Penny - not so bad.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Helen and Darren... Now, Helen, you went for that.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58You know, I just assumed that was the right answer,
0:10:58 > 0:11:00cos I assumed you must therefore...
0:11:00 > 0:11:02That was the one you thought was your best shot.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06I've clearly been singing it wrong for a long time.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09There we are. Well, listen, you are our high scorers at the moment.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Anything could happen in the next pass but, Darren,
0:11:11 > 0:11:13a low score from you at the very least is what we will need
0:11:13 > 0:11:15to keep you in the game, so good luck with that.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17We are going to come back down the line now.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:22 > 0:11:26OK, let's put seven more song titles with missing verbs up on the board.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27And here they are.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Let's read those again.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59There we go. Vaughn, welcome to Pointless.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Thank you very much. - You're from Northampton.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03And what do you do, Vaughn?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I work as a gap year student for the college I just graduated from.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Let's... I'm just going to unpack all of that.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10OK, you work as a gap year student?
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Yeah, I work for the college.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I work as junior director for activities.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18I see, so what sort of tasks do you have to do? What's the job?
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Erm, I organise trips, clubs, societies, help with the music classes.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- Yeah, but that's fun! Great fun. - Yeah, I enjoy it.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27You might want to stay on for several more gap years, I should think, after that?
0:12:27 > 0:12:28- You never know.- You never know.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Anyway, listen, you've been very well set up by Eni
0:12:31 > 0:12:33in the first pass, there, on 19.
0:12:33 > 0:12:3480 is your target.
0:12:34 > 0:12:3780 or less, for the next pass.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40All right, I'll go with, I Kissed A Girl, by Katy Perry.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I Kissed A Girl, says Vaughn.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Here is your red line, nice and high.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Get below that with kissed, you're through.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51It's right and you are through.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Look at that. Not by much, look at that.
0:12:54 > 0:12:5866, taking your total up to 85.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Yeah, that was her first UK single and her first UK number one as well.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04So, kissed being the past tense...
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Past tense of kiss. - Of kiss, which is a doing word.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Which is a doing word. Yeah.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- This is, like, easy.- It can also be a noun, though, kiss, as you know.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14It can be a noun - a kiss.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- Oh, come on!- I know. I know.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- Because that's a thing. - Yeah, it's a thing.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23All right, all right.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26OK, now, Linzi. Linzi, welcome back.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- Hello.- What a great score from Kate.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30- I know.- Fabulous low score on our first pass, there.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Remind us what you do, Linzi.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33I work at an escape rooms.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- Escape rooms, in Glasgow. - As a games master, yeah.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Now, in escape rooms, which I have to say is still completely new to me...
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- Yeah.- It's a thing where people come in, it's a sort of role play,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44sort of interactive, theatre type thing, you do...
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Kind of. Yeah, you solve puzzles and try and get in...
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Do people come in as a group?
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- Yeah.- And the idea is they just get thrown into a sort of...
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- I don't know, a what? - A themed room. So...- A themed room.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- Yes, so...- And they have to solve a puzzle, erm, of what kind?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02A series of puzzles, erm, brain teasers... Things like that.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05In order to make it across, make it through something, or...?
0:14:05 > 0:14:08To get out of the room. So it's a series of puzzles that you've got to solve...
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- Oh, I see, to get out of the room. - Yeah.- So essentially, they're prisoners?- Yeah.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- "Escape" is the big clue, there. - OK, OK.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Now, Linzi, there you are on 21.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22If you can score 78 or less,
0:14:22 > 0:14:24you are through to the next round.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27OK. I know a few, but I'm going to
0:14:27 > 0:14:29go with Let's Dance To Joy Division.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Let's Dance To Joy Division, again,
0:14:33 > 0:14:35that is a noun or a verb but let's see - let's dance.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Here is your red line. If you get below that red line,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40you're through to the next round.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Very well done. You are through to Round Two.
0:14:49 > 0:14:5020.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55One better than your mum, taking your total up to 41 and that,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57I can confidently say, is the lowest total of the round.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Well played, Linzi. It's more fun than last time, isn't it?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Erm, we've been very wombat-heavy in the last...
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- the last few episodes of Pointless, haven't we?- I know, we have.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- It's been wombat crazy. - Yeah. Yeah. There we go.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Thank you very much indeed.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Now, Darren, what could have happened hasn't really happened.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- No.- So the wheels could have just flown off for either Vaughn or Linzi.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- They have remained resolutely on... - Yes.- ..those wheels.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Darren, though, let's put that to one side for now.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23- OK.- Darren, welcome to Pointless.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26It's great to have you here. What do you do, Darren?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I work in a sales department in a shipping line.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Very interesting, so they're based in Liverpool, is that right?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- Yes. That's right, yeah.- So is it any particular kind of shipping that
0:15:34 > 0:15:36you're involved in and that you're transporting?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Are you transporting oil? Are you transporting freight of any kind?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Anything that you can put in a container, basically.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Wow. So, where are most of your containers coming from? The US?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- China.- From China.- The Far East, really, mainly, yeah.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I see. Very exciting.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Trade coming into Liverpool.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- Yeah.- All being brought in by Darren.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Now, Darren, you are on 100 points.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- Yeah.- At this stage, I suspect...
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Well, I don't know, Penny may yet, you never know,
0:16:00 > 0:16:04I don't know how comfortable Penny is with what's left on the board,
0:16:04 > 0:16:05but we definitely need a low score from you.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Yeah, I was going to take the last one,
0:16:08 > 0:16:10so that's just gone, but, erm...
0:16:10 > 0:16:14I will have to go with look, I think, for the Arctic Monkeys.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor.- I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Look, says Darren. No red line, you are the high scorers.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20How many people said look?
0:16:23 > 0:16:24It's right.
0:16:27 > 0:16:3158 takes your total up to 158, which I fear is unbeatable even at this stage.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33It's a big score, isn't it, for
0:16:33 > 0:16:35I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor?
0:16:35 > 0:16:37A very memorable name, I guess.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39I've said before on this show but the Sugababes do a cover version
0:16:39 > 0:16:42of that which is genuinely terrific. It's genuinely great.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- I haven't heard it. - Well, you must, you must.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I shall. Very good, thank you, Richard.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Now, Penny.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Good news. You are through, whatever you score.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Remind us what you do, Penny?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- I'm a web designer.- That is right,
0:16:56 > 0:17:00and what are your interests aside from the web, out of the web?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Out of the web, I'm a member of the WI, and I go line dancing.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- How often do you line dance? - Every Thursday.- You see, that's fun.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Yeah.- Do you, do you ever have a band or is it...?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- No, it's just music. - Just music with a caller.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- Yeah.- And how many of you are there in the group?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17It's me and my husband at the moment!
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- There's about 30 other people.- Yeah. - There's about 30 other people.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- I was going to say, that is, erm... - It's not a big line!
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Yeah. Not a big line, but fun, though.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- It is, it's brilliant. - Very good, yeah, good music.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Now, Penny, what would you like to go for?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32This board is all yours. Would you like to go through it and fill in all of the blanks?
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Erm, I think the top one is Stop In The Name Of Love.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38I'm not sure, but I think it's Shine On Reggae Woman.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41It is I Want To Hold Your Hand.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45And the one I'm going for is Smells Like Teen Spirit, Nirvana.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Smells Like Teen Spirit, says Penny.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Let's see how many Of our 100 people got that.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52No red line for you, for the lovely reason you're already through.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57It is smells.
0:17:59 > 0:18:0144 is what it scores you. Very well done indeed.
0:18:01 > 0:18:0399 is your total.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Yeah, you took us through the board fairly well.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Got one slightly out of place.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12It is Stop In The Name Of Love by The Supremes,
0:18:12 > 0:18:14that's quite right and would have scored you 77.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17And it's I Want To Hold Your Hand by The Beatles.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19And that would have scored you 90 points.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21A big scorer. Do you know this second one?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- It's Boogie On.- It's Boogie On, Reggae Woman,
0:18:23 > 0:18:26by Stevie Wonder and that would have scored you four points.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28You can barely hear it from when he sings, though.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- It's very hard to hear him singing...- Really?- Yeah.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- It's a verb, though.- Oh, it is. - Boogie.- And also a noun.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36- Oh!- Is it?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Yeah, confusing.- And it is, it's not an adjective, though.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- No, no. - Cos that's a describing word.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- It's a describing word. - There we go.- Yes.- There we go!
0:18:44 > 0:18:45- There we go.- Yeah.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Thank you very much, Richard. Now, so at the end of our first round,
0:18:48 > 0:18:51the pair we have to say goodbye to with a high score of 158,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54I'm so sorry, Darren and Helen. Oh, I'm so sorry. Far too soon to
0:18:54 > 0:18:57be sending you away, but you'll be back next time, which is great,
0:18:57 > 0:19:00and I have every faith you'll go much, much further but meantime,
0:19:00 > 0:19:01thank you so much, Darren and Helen.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Oh, look at that, very well done, everyone,
0:19:13 > 0:19:15we've made it through our first round. Here we are in Round Two.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Eni, the lowest scorer in that round, very well done,
0:19:18 > 0:19:21the lowest individual scorer, and Kate and Linzi,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24our lowest combined scorers, so, very well done to you too.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Best of luck to our three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...
0:19:30 > 0:19:33I remember now, yes, you warned us about this.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34I did a little bit, didn't I?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Yeah.- Yeah.- Easy to do very well in politics rounds, sometimes.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- Yes, yeah, or badly. - Or badly, yes.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Even easier. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:19:42 > 0:19:44who is going to go first and who's going to go second,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium?
0:19:51 > 0:19:52OK. Let's find out what the question is.
0:19:52 > 0:19:58Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:19:58 > 0:20:02as many of the 2016 Cabinet as they could.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05The 2016 Cabinet, Richard.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Yeah, we are looking for the names of anybody in the Cabinet of that
0:20:09 > 0:20:11new Prime Minister in July 2016,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14whose name I won't mention because that person is also an answer,
0:20:14 > 0:20:19so, anyone who attended that first Cabinet meeting on 19th July, 2016, please.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- Ah, yes.- Fun, isn't it?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Yes, yes.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Erm, Penny.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Not got a clue so it's just a wild guess on this one,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30and it's going to be...
0:20:31 > 0:20:33..Theresa May.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Theresa May, says Penny.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36- Yes.- A shot in the dark, there.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Theresa May.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- Oh, my!- It's right.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Yeah, very well done!
0:20:51 > 0:20:5418. Lovely, obscure answer.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Wow.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Yeah, I don't think we can have that down as a shot in the dark
0:20:59 > 0:21:01or a guess, given she's Prime Minister.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05- Erm...- Mind you, our 100 people haven't covered themselves in glory.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I wonder if that's because they were thinking that maybe the Prime
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Minister is not a Cabinet member.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12It's possible. She was introduced to her husband by Benazir Bhutto.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- That's quite cool, isn't it?- That's quite cool. It is quite cool.- Yeah.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Thank you very much, Richard.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Now, then, Kate, you didn't look happy when this...
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- Not really.- ..category came up.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Erm, the only person I can think of is Boris Johnson.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Boris Johnson, says Kate.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Let's see how many of our 100 people said Boris Johnson.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35It's right.
0:21:38 > 0:21:3953, for Boris Johnson.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Yeah, and he was Foreign Secretary in that first Cabinet.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49His family all call him Al, because his real name is Alexander.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50Thank you very... It's a good name.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Like you. It's like your name.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55It is like my name. That's my name, there, Al.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- They don't call...- No-one calls me Al, though.- No, they don't.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01The only people who have ever called you Al on this show were Jedward.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02Jedward, yeah, exactly. Yeah.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- They did.- Aw! - That was rather charming.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08It is charming. They called me Al and they gave me a tie.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- It's a nice tie, as well. - Very nice, yeah.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13There we are, thank you very much indeed.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17Now, Vaughn. Vaughn, this is either a round you love or you hate.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Erm, bit of both.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22I'll go with Jeremy Hunt.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Jeremy Hunt, says Vaughn.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jeremy Hunt.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Well, 53 is the highest score, 18 is the low.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33You pass the high score.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38You pass the low. 12, for Jeremy Hunt. There we are.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Yeah, the Secretary of State for Health.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45There we are. We're halfway through the round.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Let's take a quick look at our scores.
0:22:47 > 0:22:4812 was the best score of that pass.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Vaughn, very well done. Vaughn and Eni looking very strong
0:22:51 > 0:22:53at this point. Penny and David, likewise.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Kate and Linzi, that's high.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Linzi...
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Let's have a lovely low score from you.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00We can't send you home at the end of this round.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02We simply can't. Best of luck with that.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Nice low score. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11OK, so, Eni, remember,
0:23:11 > 0:23:15we are looking for anyone in the 2016 Conservative Cabinet.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Erm, I hope I can do Vaughn justice cos this is his strong suit.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23I know Michael Gove was the Education Secretary last time
0:23:23 > 0:23:25and I'm hoping that he's been shifted somewhere else,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27so I'm going to go with Michael Gove.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29OK, here is your red line.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31If you get below that red line, you are through to the next round.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Let's see how many of our 100 people said Michael Gove.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42No, I'm afraid not Michael Gove in that Cabinet.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 112,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47gives Linzi a bit of a lifeline, there.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52Yeah, he was about as sacked as it's possible to be, I think, Michael Gove.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- Wasn't he?- He was.- Yeah.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Interesting. Now, Linzi,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59interesting here, as well, because if you can score 58 or less,
0:23:59 > 0:24:01you're into the next round.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04So, I'm going to have to take a total guess.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05I don't even know if he's in the Cabinet.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07I've got no idea because I don't...
0:24:07 > 0:24:09But I'll take a guess at Nigel Farage.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14We've got... We're Scottish, we've got our own Parliament.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17OK, here is your red line. Get below that with Nigel Farage...
0:24:18 > 0:24:20..and you're in the head-to-head.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Let's see how many of our 100 people said Nigel Farage.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27I'm afraid not Nigel Farage, that scores you 100 points,
0:24:27 > 0:24:31brings Eni and Vaughn back into play cos it takes your total up to 153.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34This is going terrifically well, isn't it, thus far?
0:24:35 > 0:24:40Thank you very much indeed. Now, so, David, this is great news.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41You are through to the next round.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44You shall be in there, whatever you score here.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46What would you like to go for?
0:24:46 > 0:24:50I'll try Iain Duncan Smith.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Iain Duncan Smith, says David.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54OK, no red line, you're already through.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Let's see how many people said Iain Duncan Smith.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01No, I'm afraid not, Iain Duncan Smith.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 118.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Yeah, again, a big scoring round, isn't it?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09It's interesting, we spend a lot of time slagging off politicians and
0:25:09 > 0:25:12telling them how awful they are, but then we can't name any of them.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14But... An awful lot of pointless answers here,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16it will not surprise you to hear.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Let's take a look through a few of them, shall we?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22The Welsh Secretary, Alun Cairns is a pointless answer.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Baroness Evans, who is the Leader of the House of Lords.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Ben Gummer, who is John Selwyn Gummer's son.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29He's in the Cabinet now.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Damian Green, the Work and Pensions Secretary.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33David Lidington is a pointless answer.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36He's been a winning captain on a University Challenge team twice,
0:25:36 > 0:25:39David Lidington. Gavin Williamson, who is the Chief Whip,
0:25:39 > 0:25:41is a pointless answer.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Greg Clark, who is Energy.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Karen Bradley. Now, Karen Bradley is Secretary of State for Culture,
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Media and Sport, so essentially, she's in charge of this show...
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- She is.- Really, and is doing, I'm going to say, a terrific job.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- She is.- Don't you think?- She is.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Every time you see her, I just think, "Hold on a minute,
0:25:59 > 0:26:01"there's something I like about the cut of her jib."
0:26:01 > 0:26:05- Yes, yes. - She is tough but fair as well.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08And beautiful.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Very beautiful. Also very brave.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I mean, to me, that's like the perfect politician, but hey,
0:26:13 > 0:26:15what do I know? And also, yeah, Patrick McLoughlin.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Now, let's take a look at the top three,
0:26:18 > 0:26:20the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Theresa May is in joint second place with 18.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28Philip Hammond also scored 18 and Boris Johnson, miles ahead with 53.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31A few names people might have come up with...
0:26:31 > 0:26:34David Davis would have scored you 11, Liam Fox, 8, Amber Rudd, 8,
0:26:34 > 0:26:37as well and Andrea Leadsom would have scored you 5 points.
0:26:37 > 0:26:403 for Liz Truss, 2 for Justine Greening, Chris Grayling,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Priti Patel and Michael Fallon.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47So we are at the end of our second round, and the pair we have to say
0:26:47 > 0:26:49goodbye to with their high score of 153 - Linzi and Kate.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Oh, it looked like you might have been back in.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54You were out, then back in, then out again.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55Oh, well.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Finally, I'm afraid, we send you away to Dunfermline, I'm afraid,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01without your Pointless trophy, but it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Thank you.- Thanks so much for playing, Linzi and Kate.- Thank you.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Congratulations, Vaughn and Eni, David and Penny.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19You are now one step closer to the final, and a chance
0:27:19 > 0:27:23to play for that jackpot, which currently stands at £3,250.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29The big news is that we've made it to the head-to-head,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31which means you're now allowed to play as a team.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34From here on in, you can confer before giving your answers.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Well, I mean, two things I can say.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40First thing is, I like the fact you rhyme -
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Vaughn and Eni, David and Penny, that's the first thing.
0:27:43 > 0:27:48the second thing is, I think you are very, very evenly matched, actually.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Each of you had an incorrect answer and each of you
0:27:50 > 0:27:53have had quite a good correct answer in that last round.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54So on the strength of that,
0:27:54 > 0:27:57this should be very exciting, but best of luck to both pairs.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Here is your first question and it concerns...
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- Richard.- I'm going to show you five statues now from around the world, of film or TV characters.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Can you name the characters, please?
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five statues,
0:28:19 > 0:28:21and here they come. We have got...
0:28:49 > 0:28:51There we are, five statues of film and TV characters.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55Vaughn and Eni, you are our low scorers so you will go first.
0:29:00 > 0:29:05OK. We think A is Rocky Balboa?
0:29:05 > 0:29:10- Rocky Balboa...- Yeah. - ..say Vaughn and Eni. Rocky Balboa.
0:29:10 > 0:29:11Now, then, David and Penny,
0:29:11 > 0:29:16do you feel like talking us through all of those other statues?
0:29:16 > 0:29:18I think B is going to be the Fonz.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20C is Yoda.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- Do you know D? - D is Bewitched, we think.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25We think E is Captain Mainwaring.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29I think we're going to go with E, Captain Mainwaring.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30E, Captain Mainwaring.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33So, we have Rocky Balboa and we have Captain Mainwaring.
0:29:33 > 0:29:34Vaughn and Eni went for Rocky.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35Let's see if that's right for A.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Let's see how many of our 100 people got it.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47It's not bad at all, down that goes to 21.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Very well done indeed, Vaughn and Eni, good score there.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55Meanwhile, David and Penny have gone for E and said Captain Mainwaring.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56Let's see if that's right.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Let's see how many of our 100 people said Captain Mainwaring.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03It is Captain Mainwaring.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09And... Oh, 31, Captain Mainwaring.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Very well done indeed, Vaughn and Eni,
0:30:11 > 0:30:12after one question you are up 1-0.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Yeah, the Rocky statue is in Philadelphia, as you might expect.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17The Captain Mainwaring one is in Thetford,
0:30:17 > 0:30:19where they filmed an awful lot of Dad's Army.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21What a lovely thing to have a statue of.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24- Yeah.- Imagine Arthur Lowe when he first got the script for that,
0:30:24 > 0:30:25thinking, "One day I'll end up as a statue."
0:30:25 > 0:30:27- Isn't that extraordinary?- Mm.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Four people of our 100 said that was Winston Churchill.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32That famous TV and film character.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35B, you are quite right, is the Fonz.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38That's in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
0:30:38 > 0:30:40would have scored you 38 points.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44C, it's in San Francisco, and it's Yoda, of course.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Yoda would have scored you 66.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50And D, in Salem, Massachusetts, it is from Bewitched.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52It's Samantha from Bewitched.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55And it's the best answer up there, would have scored you five points.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Thank you very much, Richard. Here is your second question now.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00David and Penny, you get to answer this first.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02But obviously you have to win this one to stay in the game,
0:31:02 > 0:31:05so very best of luck. Our second question today is all about...
0:31:10 > 0:31:12- Richard.- Descriptions now of five famous people
0:31:12 > 0:31:14who have fish names for surnames.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16We're going to give you their first names as well,
0:31:16 > 0:31:18but what are those surnames?
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five clues,
0:31:21 > 0:31:23and here they come. We have got...
0:31:48 > 0:31:49I'll read those again.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14David and Penny will go first.
0:32:14 > 0:32:15Yeah, yeah.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21Yeah, we're going to go with Jackson Pollock.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23- Jackson Pollock...- Yes. - ..say David and Penny.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24Jackson Pollock.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Now, Vaughn and Eni, talk us through those fish.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Jackson Pollock was the one I knew,
0:32:30 > 0:32:33cos he does all the funny paintings and stuff.
0:32:35 > 0:32:36So hopefully Vaughn will...
0:32:36 > 0:32:40I know the last two - Nicola Sturgeon and Rosamund Pike.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42I'll go with Rosamund Pike.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Rosamund Pike, say Vaughn and Eni,
0:32:44 > 0:32:47so we have Jackson Pollock and Rosamund Pike.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49David and Penny went for Jackson Pollock.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55It's right.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Jackson Pollock... Oh, look at that, 58.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05That's higher than I was expecting. 58 for Jackson Pollock.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Now, Vaughn and Eni, meanwhile, have gone for Rosamund Pike,
0:33:08 > 0:33:10a wonderful actress.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Let's see how many of our 100 people said Rosamund Pike.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19It's right, of course, and it beats Jackson Pollock.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22What about that? Down it goes to 35.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Very well done indeed.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26That means, Vaughn and Eni, only two questions,
0:33:26 > 0:33:28you're straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31It's well chosen from the ones though that you knew, as well,
0:33:31 > 0:33:34cos Nicola Sturgeon would have scored you 82 points.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35That's very impressive, isn't it?
0:33:35 > 0:33:38The American artist and photographer...
0:33:38 > 0:33:39- Man Ray.- It's Man Ray.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41It would have scored you 16 points.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42And the best answer on the board,
0:33:42 > 0:33:45I know some football fans would have got this, Steve Guppy.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48Would have scored you two.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Thank you very much indeed, Richard,
0:33:51 > 0:33:54so the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:33:54 > 0:33:55I'm sorry, David and Penny, it is you.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Well, I said it would be close and it was close.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02I'm surprised how high Jackson Pollock scored there, I thought that was a great answer.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04But I'm afraid not good enough to keep you with us,
0:34:04 > 0:34:07but it's been lovely having you with us. Thank you so much for playing.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- David and Penny, great contestants. - Thank you.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13But for Vaughn and Eni, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Congratulations, Vaughn and Eni,
0:34:19 > 0:34:23you have fought off all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and at the end of
0:34:33 > 0:34:36today's show the jackpot is standing at £3,250.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45Well, that's very exciting, all done on one appearance.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48You've come straight through to the final here.
0:34:48 > 0:34:53Eni, I noticed you're two days into a medical degree.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- You've broken your arm. - Yeah, fractured my scaphoid.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57Oh, no.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01He hasn't broken his arm, he's fractured his scaphoid.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04This is a medical student you're talking to.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Where's the scaphoid in there?
0:35:06 > 0:35:09To be honest, I don't know. I've just been shown up, yeah.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12- You will learn that, you will learn that.- Yeah.- That's great.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Now, what would you like to see on the board in this category?
0:35:15 > 0:35:20In this category, science, history, politics, maybe, again.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- Eni, anything, you want to add to that?- Science, maybe, yeah.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25OK, very good, well, let's see what's on the board.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27As you know there will be four categories up there,
0:35:27 > 0:35:29let's hope there's something you like the look of.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Today's selection reads like this. We've got...
0:35:39 > 0:35:41- Er...- All the ones we didn't want are on the board.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Let's go US dramas.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45- You think?- Yeah, let's just wing it, yeah.
0:35:45 > 0:35:46All right, we can do that.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49OK, you're going to go for cult US TV dramas.
0:35:49 > 0:35:50OK, very best of luck, gents,
0:35:50 > 0:35:53I think lots of people at home will like this one.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56We are looking for any actor who's appeared in five or more episodes of
0:35:56 > 0:36:01Lost, according to IMDB, five or more episodes of Twin Peaks,
0:36:01 > 0:36:04or five or more episodes of Breaking Bad.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08So any actor, five or more episodes of any of those three US dramas.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11- Very best of luck. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Now, as always you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:36:14 > 0:36:18and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:36:18 > 0:36:22- Yeah...- Let's put 60 seconds on the clock, there they are.
0:36:22 > 0:36:23Your time starts now.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26OK, I've never seen Twin Peaks, I've no idea what that is.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- I've never seen Lost or Twin Peaks. - OK.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33- Breaking Bad. Bryan Cranston. - The most obvious one.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34What else, do you know anything?
0:36:34 > 0:36:36- No.- OK, good start.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41What's the Mexican actor, he's quite an action daredevil?
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Oh, yeah, he's like half African, half Italian or something.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Kind of.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Giancarlo Esposito or something.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51- Let's go with that. - OK, that's one, I guess.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54So, a third of the way through.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57I know the faces of all the actors in Lost,
0:36:57 > 0:36:58but I don't know any of their names.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01OK.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03So, yeah, Bryan Cranston.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Bryan Cranston, what was the first one?
0:37:05 > 0:37:11- Giancarlo Es...- Espinosa. - Esposito or something.- OK.- Yeah.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13And shall we just...
0:37:13 > 0:37:15- The last one.- Johnny.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- Johnny.- John Smith.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Let's do a cameo. Erm...
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Johnny Depp.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- OK.- OK, that is your time up.
0:37:25 > 0:37:26I now need your three answers.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28What are you going to give me?
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- Johnny Depp.- Bryan Cranston.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33If you could say which category you are answering in each case.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- All Breaking Bad.- OK, let's say all for Breaking Bad.
0:37:36 > 0:37:37All for Breaking Bad.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- Johnny Depp.- Bryan Cranston.
0:37:40 > 0:37:45- Bryan Cranston. - And Giancarlo Esposito.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48And Giancarlo Esposito.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- Yeah.- Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:51 > 0:37:53- None.- I did it in that order.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57OK, so Giancarlo Esposito, we'll put him last.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Least likely to be pointless, Johnny Depp.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then,
0:38:02 > 0:38:04and here they are.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07We have got Johnny Depp, we've got Bryan Cranston and there,
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Giancarlo Esposito.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Well, good luck. Tough round, that one.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Let's see what these answers do. There might be one on there
0:38:14 > 0:38:17that's a brilliant answer, could be pointless,
0:38:17 > 0:38:19might win you the jackpot.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Our jackpot at the moment is £3,250.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24That's not a bad jackpot to be taking home.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28What would you do with that if that were to be yours, Vaughn?
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Save it.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- He's quite rational.- That's very, very grown-up, you'd save it.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Yeah, save it for university.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Good, good. Eni, how about you?
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Like, blow it on a boys' trip to Ibiza, maybe.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42LAUGHTER That's what...
0:38:42 > 0:38:45That's what I was expecting, Vaughn, but there we are. No, good for you.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- That's why one of you has broken his arm and the other hasn't.- Yeah.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51OK, well, let's see what happens when we put these answers to the test.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Johnny Depp was your first answer.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57All three of these you are hoping are cast members of five or more
0:38:57 > 0:38:59episodes of Breaking Bad. Johnny Depp was your first answer.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Let's see what happens when we say that.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05If it's pointless it'll win you £3,250.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11There we are. Well, Johnny Depp doing a lovely
0:39:11 > 0:39:14job of just keeping that place warm for you, there.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17I don't think you were expecting that to be a correct answer.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Not a pointless answer. We move on to Bryan Cranston,
0:39:19 > 0:39:22let's see how many of our 100 people named Bryan Cranston as
0:39:22 > 0:39:26a cast member of Breaking Bad. If it's pointless, it wins you £3,250.
0:39:26 > 0:39:27How many people said it?
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Well, he's right, which is more than can be said for Johnny Depp.
0:39:33 > 0:39:38Bryan Cranston takes us down through the '40s, into the '30s,
0:39:38 > 0:39:40'20s, still going down into the teens.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Bryan Cranston is landing at ten.
0:39:43 > 0:39:44That's...
0:39:47 > 0:39:50That's quite a low score for the star of the show, but there we are,
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Bryan Cranston, not a pointless answer,
0:39:52 > 0:39:56so we move onto your third and final answer, which is Giancarlo Esposito.
0:39:56 > 0:40:01Now this is a very good answer, this is a great answer, I think, if it's right.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03LAUGHTER
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Even if it's not, it's still a great answer.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- Such a nice name. - Giancarlo Esposito, I think it's a fabulous name.
0:40:09 > 0:40:15If this turns out to be correct and pointless, you leave here with £3,250.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Let's see how many of our 100 people said Giancarlo Esposito.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Is it pointless? Is it right?
0:40:23 > 0:40:25It's right.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Very, very well remembered, Eni.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Now Johnny Depp was an incorrect answer,
0:40:29 > 0:40:30Bryan Cranston took us down to ten,
0:40:30 > 0:40:34Giancarlo Esposito now takes us down into single figures, down we go,
0:40:34 > 0:40:35still going down, still going down.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38Oh, my God!
0:40:44 > 0:40:48One person. Oh!
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Oh, that's unlucky, that is so unlucky.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54He doesn't think about anyone else.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58Dear, oh, dear, I'm afraid Giancarlo Esposito scored you one point,
0:40:58 > 0:40:59such a good answer there.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Took you within touching distance of that jackpot.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05I'm afraid you didn't manage to find the all-important pointless answer
0:41:05 > 0:41:07so I'm afraid today's jackpot rolls out onto the next show,
0:41:07 > 0:41:09but what a great performance across the show.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11You've done incredibly well.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Really good answer and you got it in the right place, as well,
0:41:13 > 0:41:15you ordered it beautifully for us.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18You get to take home a Pointless trophy, so very well done for that.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Thank you very much.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Yeah, unlucky, gents.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Giancarlo Esposito plays Gus Fring, possibly one of most
0:41:29 > 0:41:32terrifying characters in the history of television.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35If was here now he'd be laughing his head off at you scoring one point,
0:41:35 > 0:41:38you just know it. Evil, he is.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42Let's take a look at the actors in Lost, shall we? The pointless answers.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Alan Dale, who of course we all know as Jim from Neighbours,
0:41:46 > 0:41:48but he's in everything and he turns up in Lost.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Daniel Dae Kim, Emilie de Ravin and Michelle Rodriguez.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Everyone pointless there, apart from Evangeline Lilly, Josh Holloway,
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Matthew Fox, Jorge Garcia, Dominic Monaghan, Maggie Grace,
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Ian Somerhalder, Naveen Andrews and Terry O'Quinn.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04Every other person who's been in five or more episodes was a pointless answer.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07Twin Peaks now, slightly further back in time.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Billy Zane, a pointless answer there, Frank Silva, who plays Bob,
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Heather Graham, Russ Tamblyn, the veteran actor.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Everyone pointless there apart from Kyle MacLachlan, Sherilyn Fenn,
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Cheryl Lee, David Lynch,
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Madchen Amick, Dana Ashbrook and Lara Flynn Boyle.
0:42:20 > 0:42:21Everyone else a pointless answer.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24And actors in Breaking Bad, four of the big characters here actually,
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Betsy Brandt, who plays Marie.
0:42:26 > 0:42:27Bob Odenkirk, who plays Saul Goodman,
0:42:27 > 0:42:29he's also in Better Call Saul.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Jonathan Banks, who is Mike, also in Better Call Saul,
0:42:31 > 0:42:33and Laura Fraser, who's Lydia.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Everyone there pointless, apart from Bryan Cranston,
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, RJ Mitte,
0:42:37 > 0:42:42Dean Norris, Krysten Ritter and Giancarlo Esposito.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Unlucky, gents, very well played.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Thank you very much, Richard, and thank you so much, Vaughn and Eni.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49I'm so sorry you didn't win our jackpot today.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51It rolls over onto the next show,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54which means we will then be playing for £4,250.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
