0:00:23 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the game where you are always aiming for the lowest score.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Hello. I'm Kathie from Lincoln,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42and this is my colleague and friend Vijay from Peterborough.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43- Couple number two.- Hi.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46I'm Darren, and this is my wife, Helen, and we're from the Wirral.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Donna.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51This is my husband, John, and we're from Leven, in Fife.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54And finally, couple number four.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Tash, this is my dad Greg, and we've come from Crouch End.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01And these are today's contestants. APPLAUSE
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05A very warm welcome to Pointless. We'll get a chance to chat to you
0:01:05 > 0:01:07throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12too clever for his own good... Seriously, carrying that
0:01:12 > 0:01:14massive cranium around has given him a bad back.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard!
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Hiya. Hey, everybody.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Hiya. Hello, sir.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Hello, sir.- Welcome. - I know, yes, yes.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27I never say welcome. Because it's your show.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- Normally, you ask me how I am, and just as I draw...- How are you?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I'm very well. And then I draw breath and say, "How are you?"
0:01:33 > 0:01:34And you are on, you're on.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- I'm so well.- Oh, good. - Very, very well.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39I'm looking forward to today's show.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Only Helen and Darren are back from the last show,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43and they got knocked out in Round One which, at the time,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45they would have thought was terrible,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48but you weren't here for Round Two about the Conservative Cabinets,
0:01:48 > 0:01:49one of the worst rounds we've ever had.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51It was, honestly, it was carnage.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54So, you did well to be knocked out when you were, I promise you.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58And to come back here now, now the dust has cleared.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Yes.- Three new pairs as well.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Six new people. Only one of whom has chosen to wear a tie.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Thank you, John, for bringing a little bit of class to proceedings!
0:02:06 > 0:02:09That's nice. The jackpot's gone up a little bit, hasn't it?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- It has, yeah.- Of course, last time, Vaughn and Eni,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14they got a one-pointer on their last question. Oh!
0:02:14 > 0:02:17There we are. They didn't win the jackpot last time.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19So we add another £1,000 to that jackpot.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24Which means today's jackpot starts off at, look at that, £4,250.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Very exciting. APPLAUSE
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Someone could be walking away with that.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38So, remember this. The pair with the highest score
0:02:38 > 0:02:40at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43No conferring, of course, till we get to the head-to-head round.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46But best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category today is...
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:51 > 0:02:52who's going to go second?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01OK. And the question concerns...
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- Books In Books, Richard. - Books In Books.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09On each board, we're going to show you the titles of
0:03:09 > 0:03:12seven fictional books and the books in which they were written about.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14We just need you to tell us the author, please.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17We've also given you their initials. So, seven authors on the first board
0:03:17 > 0:03:20to guess, seven authors on the second board, 14 in all.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- Good luck, everyone. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25So, here is our first board of seven Books In Books.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54I'm going to read those all again.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Kathie. A warm welcome to Pointless.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Thank you.- Very good to have you with us. What do you do, Kathie?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I'm a manager with a global software firm.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I see, and Vijay works alongside you, does he?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27He does, he works for one of my teams.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Very good indeed. Now, what are your interests, Kathie?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Um, music, mainly music.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- Crafting. - Tell me about the crafting,
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- what crafting are you doing?- Well, these days, it's mainly card-making.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40My hands don't work so well for sewing any more.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- But I used to do quite a lot of sewing.- OK. So, card-making.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Christmas cards and birthday cards, things like that?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Yeah, greeting cards, yeah. - Very nice. Very nice indeed, Kathie.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Now, what would you like to go for on our board?
0:04:50 > 0:04:56Um, well, there's a few that I actually think I know.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Um, I've got to go for my favourite author,
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Who Is This God Person Anyway? Douglas Adams.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Douglas Adams, says Kathie. Let's see how many of our 100 people
0:05:04 > 0:05:06have got Douglas Adams.
0:05:15 > 0:05:1832 for Douglas Adams, not bad at all. A good start to the show.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Yeah, it was the third in a trilogy of philosophical blockbusters.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25There was Where God Went Wrong,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Some More Of God's Greatest Mistakes,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30and Who Is This God Person Anyway?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Helen, welcome back to Pointless.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- Remind us what you do, Helen? - I am a university administrator.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- In the psychology department? - Yes, that's right, yes.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42At Liverpool University.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Um, and what are your interests when not doing that, Helen?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Er, I enjoy playing poker.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52And I also present a radio show on a local radio station.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- What time of day is your show? - It's a weekend breakfast show.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- That's live? - It is live, yeah, it is.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01So, it's two early getty-uppies, yeah.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- What time are you on? - 7am through to 10am, both days.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06That's a long show.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Excellent. Now, Helen, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:06:10 > 0:06:14It's, er, it's not the greatest round for me, unfortunately.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Um, so, I'm going to go for the top one and say JK Rowling.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20JK Rowling, says Helen, for the top one,
0:06:20 > 0:06:23let's see how many of our 100 people agree with Helen?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27It is JK Rowling.
0:06:27 > 0:06:2972 is your score.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Yeah, continually referenced by Hermione Granger
0:06:35 > 0:06:37throughout the series, The History Of Hogwarts.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Thanks very much, Richard.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41John, a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Thank you for the tie. Look at that.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45John, what do you do?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I'm a civil engineer, and I work for the local authority's
0:06:48 > 0:06:52in-house contractor in Perthshire.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Very good indeed. And what do you like getting up to
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- when you're not doing that? - Ooh, well, I like to play golf,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00but I don't have a lot of time to play golf.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03And I like to fish, but I don't have much time to fish.
0:07:03 > 0:07:09I like foraging for wild mushrooms, which you only need to find time for
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- in the autumn, so that's not too bad.- I see.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Do you have a favourite mushroom that you go for?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Well, the most commonly found and the best eating ones
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- are the chanterelle up where we are, so.- Very good.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Now, John, what would you like to go for?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Er, well, there are a few.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29I'm fairly certain that Sex Is My Adventure
0:07:29 > 0:07:32from The Day Of The Triffids is John Wyndham.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33John Wyndham, says John.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Let's see how many of our 100 people said John Wyndham.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43It's right. Now, 32 is our lowest score at this point.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46And you pass it, down you go at 18.
0:07:47 > 0:07:4918 for John Wyndham.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Very well done indeed, John.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Yeah, one of the novel's protagonists, Josella Playton,
0:07:53 > 0:07:56is a fictional author. Very good answer.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Thanks very much, Richard.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Now, then, Greg, welcome. Good to have you here.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02What do you do, Greg?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I work in advertising, I'm a freelance copywriter,
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- creative director.- That's quite fun.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Occasionally.- Occasionally. - It can be.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Mostly, I just sit in the corner at the computer
0:08:12 > 0:08:14while somebody else does the presentation.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18I know, but copywriting... So many great writers have also been
0:08:18 > 0:08:19copyrighters in advertising.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- I don't think that's going to happen here!- Really? Well, you never know.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- But it's a nice outlet for interesting ideas.- It is, yeah.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Always keeping things on the boil.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28You must get to meet some interesting people?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Oh, indeed, yeah, it's a lot of fun.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- Curious projects put before you. - Absolutely.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34And what are your interests outside advertising?
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Musical, I play the bass guitar in a pub band.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Excellent. What's the pub band called?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42It's called The Raptors.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Oh, I like that. The Raptors. This is good. Good stuff.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Now, Greg, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Um, JRR Tolkien was The Hobbit.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Joseph Conrad was Heart Of Darkness,
0:08:53 > 0:08:58and I think it's Ayn Rand is Atlas Shrugged.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01But I'm not 100% sure on that.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06So, um, Joseph Conrad for An Inquiry Into Some Points Of Seamanship.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Joseph Conrad, says Greg.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Let's see how many of our 100 people said Joseph Conrad?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Absolutely right, Joseph Conrad.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Not bad at all, down to 8, best score of the round so far, Greg,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25very well done. Eight for Joseph Conrad.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Very well played, Greg.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29You're right about Ayn Rand as well,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31that would have been an even better score.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33But 8 is not bad, so we can't really complain.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Ayn Rand would have scored you 3 points.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Tolkien you're also right about, at the bottom there,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42There And Back Again would have scored you 39.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44And The Pacific Journal of Adam Ewing.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Brilliant, David Mitchell. - David Mitchell, not that one,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49would have scored you 4 points. They are both brilliant.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Both brilliant. Thank you, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:54 > 0:09:568 to Greg, the best score of the pass.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Very well done indeed. Greg and Natasha.
0:09:58 > 0:10:0018 is where John and Donna are.
0:10:00 > 0:10:0232, Kathie and Vijay.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06And then Helen and Darren, 72, this is a high score.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Darren, you know what you have to do. Good luck with that.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10We're going back down the line now.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Let's put seven more Books Within Books up on the board,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20and here they are. We have got...
0:10:47 > 0:10:48I'm going to read those again.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Natasha, welcome to Pointless, good to have you here.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18- From London?- Yeah, that's right.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20And what do you do, Natasha?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I'm a student at King's College, London.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- And what are you studying? - Liberal Arts.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- And what year are you in? - I've just finished my first year,
0:11:27 > 0:11:29about to go into my second.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Oh, exciting. And what are your interests, Natasha?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I like playing music as well.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37I collect a few instruments.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39I like watching football, watching TV, the usual.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41What instruments are in your collection?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Well, I've got a Chinese flute, a Slovakian flute, a banjo.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- They're the interesting ones. - Do you play all these?- A bit, yeah.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50That's good. What's the difference between
0:11:50 > 0:11:52a Slovakian and Chinese flute?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Oh, the Chinese one, there's a pulley thing
0:11:54 > 0:11:57and, the Slovakian one's a bit like a recorder.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59How amazing. What? So, you pull the Chinese one.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Do you play like that? - Yeah, longways.- Wow.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Like a swannee whistle almost? - Yes, sort of.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06There you are. Now, Natasha, you're on 8,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09our high-scorers at the moment are Darren and Helen on 72,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12which means 63 or less is your target.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18Um, I'm going to go with the bottom one, John Green.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20John Green, The Fault In Our Stars.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Let's see how many of our 100 people said John Green.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26There's your red line, Natasha. Get below that, you're into Round Two.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30It's right.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34And you are through. John Green seeing you very comfortably
0:12:34 > 0:12:36to the next round, Natasha.
0:12:36 > 0:12:398, you are equalling Greg's score there.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Fabulous work on the far podium, taking your total up to 16.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Yeah, well played there. The fictional author Peter Van Houten,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47played by Willem Dafoe in the movie.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Very good indeed, thank you, Richard.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Now, then, Donna, welcome.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Hello.- Great to have you here, Donna, what do you do?
0:12:53 > 0:12:59Well, I am a singer and actress, and when I'm not doing that,
0:12:59 > 0:13:00I work in a lovely wee theatre
0:13:00 > 0:13:03in St Andrew's in Fife, in the box office.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04- In the box office?- Yes.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Very nice. Peering through a little hole, selling tickets.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Do you have one of those exciting tickets thing that feeds tickets
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- out of the surface?- It's called a Boca machine.- A Boca machine?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- It comes out at the side of me. - Oh, that's exciting.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- Isn't it?- That is exciting.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20There you are. Donna, what would you like to go for? You're on 18.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Again, 53 or less keeps you comfortably in the game.
0:13:23 > 0:13:29OK. There are only a couple on there that I am sure of.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34Out of the two, I think I'm going to go with the top one,
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- and that's George RR Martin. - George RR Martin, says Donna.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Here is your red line.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41If you can get below that with George RR Martin,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44you are through to the next round. How many people said it?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51It's right. And you're through.
0:13:54 > 0:13:5712. Very well done indeed. Taking your total up to
0:13:57 > 0:13:59a very neat 30.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Yes. An historical document listing all the members of the important
0:14:03 > 0:14:07- families, of which there are many. - Mm-hm! Aren't there, though?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Now, then, Darren.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Darren, welcome back. Remind us what you do?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15I'm a sales coordinator in a shipping line.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17In a shipping line based in Liverpool?
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- Yep.- And your interests when not directing shipping?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Um, I recently got into running,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26so that takes up quite a bit of my time when I can get out.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Well, run a bit faster! - Well, yeah, I'm getting there!
0:14:29 > 0:14:32There we are. Darren, you have a mountain to climb here.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Essentially, we're looking for a negative score from you...
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Yeah.- ..is what we're after there.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39How are you feeling about the board? Do you think there's something
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- there that will be a suitably low score for you?- I'm going to have
0:14:41 > 0:14:44to take a punt. Because I had the bottom and top one.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48So, I'll say Brideshead Revisited, and I'll say Evelyn Waugh.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Evelyn Waugh is the punt you are going to take.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52There's no red line for you as you are the high-scorers.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Let's see how far down the column we get with Evelyn Waugh.
0:15:03 > 0:15:0620 for Evelyn Waugh, not bad at all.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Surprisingly low score there, taking the total up to 92, not bad.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Yeah, by the book's protagonist, Charles Ryder.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Yeah, thank you, Richard.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Vijay, welcome to Pointless, good to have you here.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- What do you do, Vijay? - I'm a software programmer
0:15:20 > 0:15:22for one of Kathie's teams.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Is she a good person to work for?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Oh, the best.- Excellent.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Now, Vijay, what are your interests?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Um, mainly community.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34I'm a member of a number of community groups
0:15:34 > 0:15:36within my local area.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Promote different various projects.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40Good for you. Things like what?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43The parish council, are these the sort of things you do?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Yes, I am. I've been on the parish council for seven years,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48I was the chair for five of them.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49So, I helped set it up, so that's quite good.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I've set up a number of groups within.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54So, your parish was council-less until you came along?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- Yes!- You said, we need a council. - We did.- Well done, you. Fantastic.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58Now, there you are, you're on 32.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01I think you should be able to see yourselves into the next round.
0:16:01 > 0:16:0359 is your target.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- Do you want to talk us through the board?- I wish I could.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I'm going to have to have a punt on the third one down,
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Nymphs And Their Ways,
0:16:10 > 0:16:12from The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Is it Carroll S Lewis?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Carroll S Lewis?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Carroll S Lewis, says Vijay.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Here is your red line, get below that with Carroll S Lewis,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25and you're through to the next round. But is it right?
0:16:28 > 0:16:29Ooh.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Not so much Carroll S Lewis, I'm afraid, Vijay.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 132.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Yeah. Sorry, Vijay. Listen, at least you're not in front of your boss!
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Um!
0:16:39 > 0:16:42And also you've got exactly the right author, it's CS Lewis,
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- but it's Clive Lewis. You're thinking of Lewis Carroll.- Oh!
0:16:44 > 0:16:47So you've got Carroll from Lewis Carroll and, yeah, sorry.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49It's one of those things that happens.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52That's exactly why we have people back twice.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Those sort of brain moments.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Really sorry. Um, now, let's take a look.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00CS Lewis, and it would have scored you...
0:17:02 > 0:17:05..48 points. So, it would have kept you in the game.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Um, GO?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- George Orwell.- George Orwell.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11That would have scored you 38.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- TP?- Terry Pratchett. - Terry Pratchett, yeah.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15For ages, I was...
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Yeah. 7 points for that.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19And the best answer on the board,
0:17:19 > 0:17:21The Big Peruvian Book Of Small Peruvian Snakes,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23it's Lemony Snicket, Lemony Snicket,
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Daniel Handler, the real name.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27But 1 point for that, very well done if you got that at home.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30We are at the end of our first round,
0:17:30 > 0:17:33and the pair we have to send home with their high score of 132...
0:17:33 > 0:17:36I'm afraid, Vijay and Kathie, it is you.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37We'll see you again next time,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39and I'm sure you'll go much, much further then.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42In the meantime, thank you very much, Vijay and Kathie.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44APPLAUSE
0:17:44 > 0:17:46For the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53And so three pairs remain at the end of this round.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Obviously, we have to say goodbye to another pair,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58so we have two pairs left for our head-to-head.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first,
0:18:06 > 0:18:07who's going to go second?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15OK. And the question concerns...
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Hm, Richard?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Yeah, we're going to show you 16 pictures now of people who've won
0:18:24 > 0:18:27the BBC Sports Personality Of The Year.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29All you have to do is name the most obscure of these, please.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Thank you very much indeed. So, as Richard just said,
0:18:32 > 0:18:33we're going to put up 16 pictures.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36That picture will stay up for the whole round.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38You just have to shout out the name of anyone
0:18:38 > 0:18:41you can see on that picture. Picture of pictures.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Let's reveal our 16.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46And there they are.
0:18:46 > 0:18:4916 overseas winners of Sports Personality Of The Year.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53I'll give you a moment, Darren, to absorb that picture.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58OK. Darren, who would you like to go for?
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Um, I think I will say Niki Lauda.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Niki Lauda, says Darren.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Let's see how many of our 100 people said Niki Lauda.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15That is a good answer.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Down it goes, 16, very well done indeed. 16 for Niki Lauda, Darren.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Yeah, there he is on the bottom row.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25The film Rush all about his rivalry with James Hunt.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28A terrific film.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29Thanks very much, Richard.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Donna.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Happy days!- Oh, really?- Oh!
0:19:34 > 0:19:40Um, OK. I think I know two or three.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45But I'm not 100% sure, so I will go with the one I am sure of
0:19:45 > 0:19:47and say Steffi Graf.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Steffi Graf, says Donna.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Let's see how many of our 100 people said Steffi Graf.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56It's right.
0:19:59 > 0:20:0239 for Steffi Graf, not bad.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Not bad, Donna.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Yes, she won in 1988 where she won all four Grand Slam titles
0:20:08 > 0:20:10and the Olympics in the same year.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Thanks very much, Richard.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Now, Greg.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Er. Not so good for me.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21I will say Greg Norman.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Greg Norman, says Greg.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Let's see how many of our 100 people said Greg Norman.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Mm. I'm afraid Greg Norman not helping you there.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36That scores you 100 points.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Yeah, sorry, Greg, I know who you mean,
0:20:37 > 0:20:39but it's not Greg Norman, I'm afraid.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Thank you, Richard. We are halfway through the round.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Let's take a quick look at those scores.
0:20:45 > 0:20:4716, Darren, well done, the lowest score of the pass there.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Darren and Helen looking pretty good for the head-to-head at this stage.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Then, 39 is where we find Donna and John,
0:20:52 > 0:20:54and then 100, I'm afraid, Greg and Natasha.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Natasha, that may not be the last 100 points of the round,
0:20:57 > 0:21:00so, if you can find a low score, you could be in with a shout,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03you never know. Good luck with that. We will come down the line now,
0:21:03 > 0:21:05can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:10 > 0:21:11So, Natasha.
0:21:13 > 0:21:19Um, I think the least obvious one I know is Dan Carter.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Dan Carter. Dan Carter, says Natasha.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25No red line for you as you're the high-scorers.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Let's see how many of our 100 people said Dan Carter.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31It's right.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39That is a great score, look at that, very well done indeed, Natasha,
0:21:39 > 0:21:40exactly what we required from you,
0:21:40 > 0:21:43a 4, taking you up to 104.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Very well played, Natasha, he won it in 2015
0:21:45 > 0:21:47when New Zealand won the Rugby World Cup,
0:21:47 > 0:21:49the biggest point-scorer of all time
0:21:49 > 0:21:52and you've very nicely shown your dad up there as well, so,
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- terrific work.- Very good.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Thank you, Richard. Now, then, John.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02There's two or three that I could guess, but I am going to say
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- Jack Nicklaus.- Jack Nicklaus?- Yeah.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09OK, well, your target is 64 or less, that's what you red line looks like,
0:22:09 > 0:22:12let's see if you can get below that with Jack Nicklaus.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15It's right.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19You're into the head-to-head, very well done indeed, John.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Down to 10, very well done.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Takes your total up to 49.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Well played, Jack Nicklaus.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29that's who you thought Greg Norman was there.
0:22:29 > 0:22:3218-time Major winner, which is a record that people...
0:22:32 > 0:22:35It was literally about to be obliterated by Tiger Woods,
0:22:35 > 0:22:40and then fate itself intervened and it still remains the record.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Thanks very much, Richard.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Now, then, Helen. Helen, the competition is on here.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50We need a correct answer from you that scores you 87 or less.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52How do you like the board?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Not very much, really!
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Um, there's a couple I think I know.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01There is a female tennis player on the top row,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I just can't get her name.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07I just can't get her name. It's on the tip of my tongue, unfortunately.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I think there's a boxer,
0:23:09 > 0:23:14I think Mike Tyson's there, but I'm going to go for Andre Agassi.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- Andre Agassi, says Helen.- Mm-hm.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Let's see if it's right, let's see
0:23:19 > 0:23:20how many of our 100 said Andre Agassi.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21There is your red line.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24It's right, and you're through.
0:23:28 > 0:23:2930 for Andre Agassi.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Taking your total up to 46.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Won in 1992, the picture of him there, you can see,
0:23:37 > 0:23:38is with a very good wig, but it is a wig,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41and he writes about it very movingly in his autobiography,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43which is a great read.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44But he said he was wearing this hairpiece
0:23:44 > 0:23:46and actually he didn't give 100% in some games
0:23:46 > 0:23:50because he kept worrying that it was slipping or it was going to come off
0:23:50 > 0:23:51so he just didn't try his best.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Isn't that amazing when you think back?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- Yeah.- 30 points for him, anyway.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Now, let's fill in the rest of these, shall we?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Up the top there is Usain Bolt, would have scored you 28.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03The first-ever winner of the award,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05the Australian middle distance runner Herb Elliott,
0:24:05 > 0:24:08very well done if you said him, it is a pointless answer,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10never beaten over the mile or 1,500 metres.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14The tennis player whose name you were looking for is Martina Hingis.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16She would have scored you 10.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19The next row, next to Dan Carter, was Carl Lewis.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21It would have scored you 14.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22And then Chris Evert.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26She would have scored you 16.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Pele, of course, on the next row, 23.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Not Mike Tyson but Evander Holyfield
0:24:32 > 0:24:34would have scored you 8.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39Then, Cristiano Ronaldo, lovable as ever, would have scored you 50.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Next row down, you have got Brian Lara...
0:24:43 > 0:24:44..3 points.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47And then, I know people at home will be split between people
0:24:47 > 0:24:50saying Olga Korbut and people saying Nadia Comaneci,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52and it's Olga Korbut. She would have scored you 12.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54And then Rafa Nadal.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57And he scores 30.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01At the end of our second round, the pair we send home
0:25:01 > 0:25:02with our highest score of 104...
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Natasha and Greg, I'm afraid it is you.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Natasha, the lowest scorer of that round,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09seems harsh to be going home with that,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12but you've got to carry your dad, I'm afraid, that's just how it is.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14We'll see you again next time, and I'm sure you'll go much further.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Thank you so much, Natasha and Greg.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20APPLAUSE
0:25:20 > 0:25:23But for the remaining two pairs, it is now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Congratulations, John and Donna, Helen and Darren,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33you're now one step closer to the final
0:25:33 > 0:25:38and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £4,250.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41APPLAUSE
0:25:41 > 0:25:44We have made it to the head-to-head, which is nice because,
0:25:44 > 0:25:46from here on in, you can confer before you give your answers,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49and the first player to win two questions
0:25:49 > 0:25:51will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Here is your first question and it concerns...
0:26:05 > 0:26:07- Richard?- Five clues now to facts about the 37th president
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- of the USA, Richard Nixon. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14We have got...
0:26:35 > 0:26:37I'll read those all one last time.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01John and Donna, you are our low-scorers, so, you will go first.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06We know a couple for sure,
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- which are probably the highest scorers.- Yep.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Er...
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- We should take the bottom one. - We'll take the bottom one
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- and say David Frost. - David Frost, say John and Donna.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18Now, then, Helen and Darren,
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- do you want to talk us through the board?- I'd love to.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25We know a couple. The top one, Watergate.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27The only other one we know is Anthony Hopkins, the actor,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- so we'll go with Anthony Hopkins. - You're going for Anthony Hopkins.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33So, we have David Frost and we have Anthony Hopkins.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36John and Donna said David Frost, let's see how many of our 100 people
0:27:36 > 0:27:39said David Frost for the British broadcaster.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42It is David Frost.
0:27:45 > 0:27:4751 for David Frost.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49APPLAUSE
0:27:50 > 0:27:55Helen and Darren, meanwhile, have gone for Anthony Hopkins.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Let's see if that's right for the Welsh actor,
0:27:57 > 0:27:59let's see how many of our 100 people got Anthony Hopkins.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03It's right.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08And it beats 51, look at that, down it goes.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Good answer! 9 for Anthony Hopkins.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Very well done indeed, Helen and Darren.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16That means, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Yeah, very well played, the both of you.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Now, the name generally given to the scandal?
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- Watergate.- Watergate, yeah, would have scored you 81.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26That's after the Watergate building,
0:28:26 > 0:28:29but that's why we put "gate" after all scandals now.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Which is weird because it wasn't a scandal about water,
0:28:32 > 0:28:33it was simply Watergate.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Name of the Nixon family dog?
0:28:37 > 0:28:39He was accused of taking lots of bribes and said
0:28:39 > 0:28:41the only thing he'd ever been given was the dog for his kids,
0:28:41 > 0:28:44and it was called Checkers and would have scored you 2.
0:28:44 > 0:28:45And his middle name?
0:28:45 > 0:28:47- Milhous.- Milhous, absolutely right.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Also, Bart's best friend in The Simpsons.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51It would have scored you 19 points.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53It was also his mother's middle name.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57She was Hannah Milhous Nixon. And he was Richard Milhous Nixon.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So, here comes your second question,
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Helen and Dan, you get to answer this one first.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05But, John and Donna, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07So, best of luck with it.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Our second question today is all about...
0:29:12 > 0:29:13OK.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15- Richard.- That's nice, isn't it? - Isn't it?
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- Quite often we show you pictures of lovely, cute animals.- Yeah.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21We're now going to show you pictures of blood-sucking animals.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23They might be cute! They might be cute bloodsucking animals.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Five of them. Which is the most obscure?
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Let's reveal our five blood-sucking animals.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Ah!
0:29:35 > 0:29:36Oh.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Interesting.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Helen and Darren will go first.
0:30:07 > 0:30:12OK. Not too great for us, I think, we'll go for A, leech.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14A, leech, say Helen and Darren.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Leech.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Now, then, John and Donna.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- We can talk through the board here? - Oh, please do.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23I think that's a lamphrey.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Obviously, C's a something moth.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28D's a flea. E's a hungry bird!
0:30:28 > 0:30:30LAUGHTER
0:30:30 > 0:30:33I think we'll have to go, because we have to win the point,
0:30:33 > 0:30:35we'll have to go with lamphrey.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38OK, lamphrey say John and Donna.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42So, Helen and Darren have gone for the leech for A.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Let's see if that's right.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Let's see how many of our 100 people said leech for A.
0:30:50 > 0:30:51It's right. Oh!
0:30:52 > 0:30:55I didn't even have time to say it was right,
0:30:55 > 0:30:56that's how high it scored.
0:30:56 > 0:30:5891 for leech.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02OK. Meanwhile, John and Donna have gone for lamphrey or lamprey.
0:31:02 > 0:31:07Let's see how many of our 100 people said that for B.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13It's right, and it wins you the point.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Very well done indeed, down that goes to 20.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18Look at that.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21APPLAUSE
0:31:21 > 0:31:22That's what we needed, John and Donna,
0:31:22 > 0:31:25you are back in the game. After two questions, it's 1-all.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Yeah, very well played.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29You're also right that C is a something moth.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31I was thinking, something moth? But what is it?
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Then you realise it's about blood-sucking animals.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- Vampire.- It's a vampire moth.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Vampire moth would have scored you 35 points.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42D is, of course, a flea, that would have scored you 75 points.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47And my favourite name... That's a cute-looking bird, right?
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Dial down the lipstick would be my advice.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52It feeds off great beasts of burden
0:31:52 > 0:31:54and its name, there is a clue to that in its name,
0:31:54 > 0:31:57it eats ticks from big beasts of burden.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- So, it's doing a service. - It's doing a service, exactly right.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04And it is, and it's a great name for a band if you're looking for a name,
0:32:04 > 0:32:06- oxpecker.- Ha!
0:32:06 > 0:32:08- That is a good name for a band. - Don't you think?
0:32:08 > 0:32:11- Isn't it just?- 1 point. - Look at that. Oxpecker.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Ha-ha! There we go. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Here comes your third question. This is the decider.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for the jackpot.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Very best of luck to both players.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Our third question today is all about...
0:32:26 > 0:32:30- There we are.- Five clues to facts about famous attractions in Paris.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- Paris attractions would be another way of putting that.- There we are.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Very nice indeed. Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38We have got...
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Let's read those again.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31There we are. Now, John and Donna will go first.
0:33:33 > 0:33:34- Well...- OK.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- You, you say. - Yeah, because it was me who... Ha!
0:33:37 > 0:33:42- Your choice.- OK, we're going to go for number four,
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- and we think that's the Bastille. - The Bastille,
0:33:45 > 0:33:46say John and Donna.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Now, Helen and Darren,
0:33:48 > 0:33:50would you like to talk us through the whole board?
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Yeah, well, the top one's the Eiffel Tower.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56The second one down we think is the Champs-Elysees.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59And then I think it's Gare du Nord.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03And then, Notre Dame at the bottom there.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05- Gare du Nord? - We'll go with Gare du Nord.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Gare du Nord, say Helen and Darren.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10So, we have the Bastille and we have Gare du Nord.
0:34:10 > 0:34:11John and Donna say Bastille.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Let's see how many of our 100 people went for the Bastille.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18It's right.
0:34:20 > 0:34:2465, that's quite a high score for the Bastille.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29Helen and Darren, meanwhile, have gone for the Gare du Nord.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35It is the Gare du Nord.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40And it wins you the point, very well done indeed.
0:34:40 > 0:34:41Down it goes, 26,
0:34:41 > 0:34:44and it means, very well done indeed, Helen and Darren,
0:34:44 > 0:34:46after three questions, you're through to the final 2-1.
0:34:46 > 0:34:47Very nicely played.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50The Eiffel Tower would have scored you far too many points.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54Take a look, it would have got you 81 points.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56You were right about the Champs-Elysees,
0:34:56 > 0:34:58that would have scored 48.
0:34:58 > 0:34:59Do you know this last one?
0:34:59 > 0:35:03- Yeah?- Pantheon? - It is the Pantheon.- Phew.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- Pantheon.- I asked you because I didn't know how to pronounce it
0:35:06 > 0:35:08- and I knew you would!- Ah.
0:35:08 > 0:35:106 points for that. It's where Marie Curie is buried
0:35:10 > 0:35:13- amongst many other people.- There we are. Thank you. Thanks, Richard.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:16 > 0:35:19I'm afraid it's John and Donna. But it's good news, really,
0:35:19 > 0:35:22because it means we get to see you again next time.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24I'm longing to see what tie John's going to wear.
0:35:24 > 0:35:25It's been lovely having you on.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27See you next time. We look forward to that very much.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Thanks so much, John and Donna.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31APPLAUSE
0:35:31 > 0:35:34But, for Helen and Darren, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Congratulations, Helen and Darren,
0:35:39 > 0:35:41you have seen off all the competition
0:35:41 > 0:35:43and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:53 > 0:35:58At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £4,250.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Well, that will be very nice indeed.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Last time, we said goodbye to you at the end of Round One.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09This time, here you are in the final.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Fantastic. I mean, tremendous.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:36:14 > 0:36:18Definitely some music, I think. Maybe some music and some film.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Yeah. Stuff from the '90s.
0:36:21 > 0:36:22Stuff from the '90s.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25OK, let's hope there's something on that board you like the look of.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Four categories will appear any second now, and they are...
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Political comedy on-screen could be sort of...
0:36:43 > 0:36:45- The Thick Of It and things like that, couldn't it?- Yeah.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- You're good with that, aren't you? Sort of.- Yeah.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Or Acting Juniors?
0:36:50 > 0:36:51- Should we do Acting Juniors? - Let's do it.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- All right.- Acting Juniors. - Acting Juniors, yeah.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Let's find out. Richard, Acting Juniors.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58We are looking for any of the following, please.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01We're looking for any film starring Cuba Gooding Jr.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04We're looking for any film starring Sammy Davis Jr.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Or any film starring Harry Connick Jr, please.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10So, any film starring any of these up to the end of August 2016
0:37:10 > 0:37:12according to IMDB. The very best of luck.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Thank you very much indeed. Now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:37:15 > 0:37:18to come up with three answers and all you need to win that jackpot
0:37:18 > 0:37:21is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Good.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:37:25 > 0:37:26Your time starts now.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- OK.- OK.- Copycat.- Copycat.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32- Yep. Or... Memphis Belle, remember that?- Oh, yeah, OK.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36- I remember Memphis Belle. - Cuba Gooding, Daddy Day Camp.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39- Daddy Day Camp?- Yeah, and I'm sure he was in something called
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Kangaroo Jack, but I'm not 100%.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44That is definitely a film, but you're not sure whether he's in it.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Yeah. No.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- OK. So, Daddy Day Camp. - Memphis Belle.- Memphis Belle.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51- Copycat.- Copycat.- Yeah.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- Any more Harry Connick Jr? No Sammy Davis Jr?- Don't know.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56OK. OK.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Harry Connick Jr. I can see him playing the piano in something.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Harry Connick? He's a musician, though, isn't he?
0:38:02 > 0:38:03Yeah.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- Cuba Gooding.- So we're going to have Daddy Day Camp.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08Yeah. Copycat.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- Copycat.- And Memphis Belle. - And Memphis Belle.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- Anything else for Harry Connick Jr? - I can't think of anything else.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14- Shall we go with that?- Yeah.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17It sounds like you've got your answers. Shall we stop the clock?
0:38:17 > 0:38:18Brilliant, look at that.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20OK. Let's have your answers, what have you got?
0:38:20 > 0:38:22OK.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24- Well, for Harry Connick, we've got Copycat.- Copycat.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- Or Memphis Belle.- Memphis Belle.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29And for Cuba Gooding, we've got Daddy Day Camp.
0:38:29 > 0:38:30- Daddy Day Camp.- Yeah.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Of those three excellent answers,
0:38:32 > 0:38:35which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37- Copycat?- Copycat.- Yeah. We'll go with Copycat.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- Yeah.- OK, least likely to be pointless?
0:38:40 > 0:38:43- Possibly Memphis Belle, yeah. - Memphis Belle.- Memphis Belle.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45OK. And Daddy Day Camp goes in the middle.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48OK. Let's put those answers up on the board in that order,
0:38:48 > 0:38:49and here they are.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53We've got Memphis Belle, Daddy Day Camp and Copycat.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Well, you've found three good answers there
0:38:55 > 0:38:57for your Junior actors.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01Any one of those could feasibly win you that jackpot.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03£4,250.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06A decent jackpot to be taking home. What would you like to do with it?
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Helen, I'm going to ask you first.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Well, it's Darren's 40th birthday on the horizon,
0:39:11 > 0:39:16so a good chunk of it would go to make that really memorable.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18That is really wonderful.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19Darren, how about you?
0:39:19 > 0:39:21I'm pretty much agreed on that front, I think.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Strange, that, yeah!
0:39:23 > 0:39:25- Yeah, I'll take that. - Very good indeed.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Well, three good answers, as I say. Your first answer was Memphis Belle.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31In this case, we were looking for Harry Connick Jr films.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35If this is pointless, it will win you £4,250.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39Let's see how many of our 100 people said Memphis Belle.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43It's right.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46All it has to be now is pointless for you to win the jackpot, £4,250.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50Down we go for Memphis Belle, down through the 20s into the teens.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Into single figures, we're still going down.
0:39:52 > 0:39:536!
0:39:53 > 0:39:55APPLAUSE
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Not a bad score.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02Not a bad score at all. Annoyingly, not a pointless score, though.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06So, we have to move on to your next answer, which was Daddy Day Camp.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09In this case, we were looking for Cuba Gooding Jr films.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12If Daddy Day Camp is pointless, it wins you £24,250.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15How many of our 100 people said it? Daddy Day Camp.
0:40:18 > 0:40:19It's right.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Well, Memphis Belle took us all the way down to 6.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Daddy Day Camp now takes us down through the 20s, into the teens.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28We're into single figures, down it goes.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30We pass 6, pass 4,
0:40:30 > 0:40:32down to 1! AUDIENCE GASPS
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Oh, man!
0:40:34 > 0:40:36APPLAUSE
0:40:36 > 0:40:37So close.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40One person got Daddy Day Camp.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Oh, that is unlucky.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45We move on to your third and final answer, which is Copycat.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48This is the one you thought was your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52If this turns out to be pointless, it wins you £4,250.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Let's see how many of our 100 people named Copycat
0:40:55 > 0:40:58as a Harry Connick Jr film. Is it pointless?
0:41:00 > 0:41:02It's right.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06Your first answer Memphis Belle took us all the way down to 6.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10Your second answer, Daddy Day Camp, took us all the way down to 1.
0:41:10 > 0:41:11Copycat now takes us into single figures.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Down we go, we pass 6, down at 4! Oh, no!
0:41:14 > 0:41:17- APPLAUSE - Oh, well.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23Three very good low scores there. Really good.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25That second one, Daddy Day Camp,
0:41:25 > 0:41:28you were just within touching distance of the jackpot,
0:41:28 > 0:41:32but I'm afraid you didn't find that pointless answer you needed.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34So, today's jackpot will roll over on to the next show.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37But what a strong performance across the show. Really, really impressive.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Plenty to be proud of, and you get to take home a Pointless trophy,
0:41:40 > 0:41:44so very well done indeed, Helen and Darren. Very good.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Yes. Really unlucky.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48We've had a string of 1-point answers
0:41:48 > 0:41:50in our jackpot round recently and, yeah, very unfortunate.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53The good news, in the 60 seconds, you mentioned Kangaroo Jack,
0:41:53 > 0:41:55which is not on any list here.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58There was Lightning Jack which was a pointless answer for Cuba Gooding.
0:41:58 > 0:41:59Might be what you were thinking of.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Let's start with those Cuba Gooding Jr films.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Some brilliant films on this list here.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Three great ones and one... Yeah.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08A Few Good Men is a pointless answer.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10American Gangster with Denzel Washington
0:42:10 > 0:42:11is a pointless answer.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12Coming To America with Eddie Murphy,
0:42:12 > 0:42:15a very small part in that when he was very young.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17He plays a boy having his hair cut.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19And Norbit, another Eddie Murphy film as well.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Everything pointless there apart from Jerry Maguire, Snow Dogs,
0:42:22 > 0:42:23Men Of Honour, Boyz n the Hood.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26As Good As It Gets, Selma, Pearl Harbor,
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Instinct, The Butler, Rat Race, Boat Trip and Daddy Day Camp.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Sammy Davis Jr.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Cannonball Run 2 was a pointless answer, Johnny Cool, Porgy and Bess,
0:42:35 > 0:42:38The Threepenny Opera, everything pointless there
0:42:38 > 0:42:40apart from Ocean's 11, which was the biggest scorer.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43The original Cannonball Run, Robin And The Seven Hoods, Tap,
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Sweet Charity and A Man Called Adam.
0:42:45 > 0:42:46And Harry Connick Jr now.
0:42:48 > 0:42:49Tougher group of answers here.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Dolphin Tale 2 was a pointless answer.
0:42:51 > 0:42:52Dolphin Tale wasn't a pointless answer.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Mickey, PS I Love you, The Simian Line.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57His scoring answers were Memphis Belle and Copycat,
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Dolphin Tale, The Iron Giant, Independence Day,
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Hope Floats, and Little Man Tate.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Very well done if you got a pointless answer at home.
0:43:04 > 0:43:05Thanks very much indeed, Richard,
0:43:05 > 0:43:07and thank you so much, Helen and Darren.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Very sadly they didn't win the jackpot today,
0:43:09 > 0:43:11which means it rolls over on to the next show
0:43:11 > 0:43:15when we will be playing for £5,250.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17APPLAUSE
0:43:17 > 0:43:19Join us then, 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.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26APPLAUSE
