0:00:21 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27the show that makes big winners out of the lowest scorers.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And couple number one?
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Hello, my name is Mark and this is my friend Alex,
0:00:37 > 0:00:39and we are from Penrith in Cumbria.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Couple number two?
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Hi, I'm Vijay from Peterborough,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and this is my friend and colleague Kathie from Lincoln.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Couple number three?
0:00:45 > 0:00:49I'm Jon, this is my wife Donna, and we're from Leven in Fife.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51And finally, couple number four?
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Greg, this is my daughter Natasha,
0:00:53 > 0:00:55and we're here from Crouch End in North London.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Thank you very much, all of you. A warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Great to have you with us. We'll get a chance to chat
0:01:04 > 0:01:06to each of you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12As watchable as an internet video in which a goat and cat are friends,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Hiya. Hi, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21That does sound watchable.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22- Doesn't it?- Yeah. Now, lots of...
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Lots of old friends re-joining from the last show, which is really nice, isn't it?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Jon and Donna are back, got through to the head-to-head.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Jon once again wearing a tie.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32He's in a suit this time. Suit.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33He's gone the full Monty...
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Well, not the Full Monty, the opposite of the Full Monty!
0:01:36 > 0:01:38The full suity. That's nice, isn't it?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41And a couple of people have got to making up to do after the last show.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Vijay's got some making up to do for Kathie,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45they're on podium two, and, more importantly,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Greg has really got some making up to do for his daughter,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49who was great. Greg less so.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53You know, it's just so hard when you bring your dad on national television, right?
0:01:53 > 0:01:54What can you do?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57It's going to be fun, though. And one new pair, Mark and Alex,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- and we've put them on podium one. - And that's nice.- Do you think?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- I think that's difficult. - Yeah.- No hiding place there.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- No.- There's no hiding anywhere, let's be honest.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Those podiums are too short. - LAUGHTER
0:02:07 > 0:02:09But podium one especially.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12To be fair to them, they have camouflaged themselves quite well.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15I think someone gave them a bum steer on what our set was going to be, though.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18It's the jungle set we haven't done so much, have we, this time?
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Exactly, yeah.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22They look like they're on The Island with Bear Grylls.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- There we are. Well, thank you very much.- Pleasure.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Now, Helen and Darren didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:27 > 0:02:28so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31So today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:33 > 0:02:34Wow!
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47OK. Now, remember this, the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50So, just keep your scores nice and low, you'll be fine.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52No conferring, of course, until we get to the head-to-head.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Other than that, best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11OK. And the question concerns...
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Richard?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18We're going to show you seven definitions of words on each board.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Each of those words are also used as boys' names.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Just try and give us some nice obscure answers.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at, so the very best of luck, everyone at home.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Let's reveal our first board of clues, and here they are.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32We have got...
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I will read those all again.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- Mark?- Mmm-hmm.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Welcome to Pointless. - Hello.- Welcome to Pointless.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- Now, Mark, what do you do? - I'm currently a student studying in Leeds,
0:04:31 > 0:04:32a business student.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35There we are. How's that going, the business studies?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- OK, yeah.- What year are you in?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39I'm just about to start my third year now.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41- OK. So this is the last year in Leeds?- Yeah, final year.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Did you know Leeds at all before you started studying there?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- No.- Do you love it? - I do. Fell in love with the city.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Fantastic. Masses going on in Leeds.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- Yeah, yeah.- Mark, there's a good boys' name, just to start with, right there.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Mark, what would you like to go for on our board?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I think I'm going to go for the river in western and central Scotland,
0:04:59 > 0:05:01and I'm going to go with Clyde.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Clyde. Let's see how many of 100 people went for Clyde.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10It's right.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Always tough going first in these rounds,
0:05:13 > 0:05:15and you have absolutely smashed it.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Well done. 25, Mark.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Good start to the show. - Yeah, a very good start.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Well played, there, on podium one.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24It's not used so much these days, Clyde.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Perfectly nice.- Yeah.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Bonnie and Clyde. He was Clyde.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- He was a Clyde.- The Clyde.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- The Clyde one in Bonnie and Clyde.- I wonder if Clive has sort of slightly edged Clyde out?
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Yes, and then Clive itself has been edged out by every other name.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Yeah, it's true. Yeah.- Hasn't it?- Yeah.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Kathie, welcome back.- Hello!
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Round One. Round One last time.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Kathie, remind us what you do?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I'm a manager for a global software company.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Very good indeed. And what are your interests, Kathie?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- I'm a musician.- What do you play?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I play the trombone.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- Do you?- I do, indeed.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05And in what sort of environment? What sort of ensemble do you play?
0:06:05 > 0:06:10Anyone who asks me! But basically I play with three bands regularly.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I play with a ten-piece swing band, a full big band,
0:06:13 > 0:06:17and I play with the oldest police band in the country,
0:06:17 > 0:06:19the Humberside Police Band.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22The oldest in the country? How long's it been going?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Literally since last September! That is...
0:06:25 > 0:06:261861.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- That's amazing.- And it's not a brass band, it's a copper band.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- LAUGHTER AND GROANS - Absolutely.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35And - hahaha - that's funny!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37You got a... HE GROANS
0:06:38 > 0:06:41I don't mind. You know what, any reaction, I'm fine.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43But that shows you the versatility of the trombone.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- Absolutely.- There it is, swing or big-band, slightly brassy.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49And in the police band, I imagine slightly more sort of..
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- You know?- All sorts of things. All sorts of things.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Slightly more mellow in that sort of ensemble?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- It is. Beautiful instrument. - Oh, very beautiful instrument.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Now, Kathie, what would you like to go for?
0:06:58 > 0:07:03Well, I'm going to go with one of my big band members' names,
0:07:03 > 0:07:07and that's a person who defeats an enemy or opponent in a battle - Victor.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10That's a big band name, isn't it? SHE LAUGHS
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Definitely. Victor. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Victor.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17It's absolutely right.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- Oh!- Oh!
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Oh, 83 for Victor!
0:07:21 > 0:07:23I'll get him. I'll get him next Tuesday.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- You should.- It's quite a brave name, Victor, isn't it?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Yeah.- If you call a tiny baby Victor.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- Victor.- It's quite a lot of pressure on their shoulders.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- Yeah.- Might as well call your child Captain Awesome.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35LAUGHTER
0:07:35 > 0:07:39I'm not sure I know anyone under the age of maybe 87 called Victor.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Yeah, Vic you would think would be a name that could come back.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Vic.- You would think maybe some of the hipsters would start calling their kid Vic.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Vic. Thank you, Richard. Right, Donna, welcome back.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Thank you.- Remind us what you do, Donna?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Well, I am a singer and actress,
0:07:53 > 0:07:59but when I'm not doing that I work in the box office of a lovely little theatre in St Andrews in Fife.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Oh, that sounds lovely.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Do you have sort of touring shows that come round there,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05or do you have your own repertory there?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08No, we are a receiving house now,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11we used to be a repertory theatre but no longer, sadly.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Oh, that's a shame. OK, now, Donna.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15What would you like to go for on our board of boys' names?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Well, I think I know a few...
0:08:19 > 0:08:22..but I've decided I'm going to go with...
0:08:23 > 0:08:26..agree to give or allow - Grant.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Grant. Grant, says Donna.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Let's see how many of our 100 people said Grant.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38It's right, obviously.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Down it goes. 25's our low score.
0:08:39 > 0:08:4135's where you end up with Grant.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Not bad at all.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Yeah, that's well chosen, I think, Donna.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Well played. It was originally a surname, Grant, became a first name.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54And it comes from the French, grande, so it means large or big, Grant.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58I didn't know that. There we go, thank you. Thank you.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Now then, Greg. Remind us what you do, Greg?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04I'm a freelance copywriter in advertising.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06What are your interests when the copywriting is done?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I like to travel. We like to travel as a family.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12We... Actually Natasha grew up in Hong Kong.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13We lived there for 25 years.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16And from there we travelled to lots of different places.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Anywhere left you're longing to go that you haven't yet been to?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Antarctic is still on our bucket list, yeah.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Yes, you have to be sort of ship-bound, don't you?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- Yes, indeed. It has to be a cruise. - Definitely, yeah.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29This board is all yours.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32If you want to go through it, you'd be very, very welcome.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I'd love to, but I'm not going to do a very good job, I don't think.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38A device for lifting heavy objects is Jack.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41North American word for a toilet is John.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47At a stab I'd say the aromatic plant...
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I was thinking might be Benjamin.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I don't know what the overzealous or obsessive fan is.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55So, I'm going to go safe and hope that Natasha's got a really good answer
0:09:55 > 0:09:58and say North American word for a toilet, John.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00John, says Greg.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Well, 83's our high score at the moment,
0:10:02 > 0:10:04let's see how far down the column we get with John.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08It's right. Well, you pass the 83.
0:10:08 > 0:10:1174. Not bad.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- Poor John, though.- I know.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Spelt differently, that's the key.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Now, shall we fill the rest of these in?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25You were right about the device, that is of course a jack.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Would have scored you 53. Would have been a better answer.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- The aromatic plant... - Basil.- It's basil.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Would have scored you 40.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Now, this last one is interesting, isn't it?
0:10:36 > 0:10:37It looks like it should be stalker.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40All I can think of is stalker, that's all I can think of.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Which is not a boys' name. Don't even think about it.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45So, this, actually... This is a very recently coined word,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47and it comes from a song by Eminem.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49And the answer is...
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- Stan.- Stan. I have heard someone say Stan before.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- There you go. - Wow. It's now in usage?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Yeah. We learn something new every day, don't we?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- We do.- Haven't we learned something, there?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Thank you very much, Richard. Now, we're halfway through the round.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Let's take a quick look at those scores. 25, well done, Mark.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Our newcomers here, and first podium to answer, as well.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07So, very well done indeed. 25, good stuff.
0:11:07 > 0:11:0835's where we find Donna and Jon.
0:11:08 > 0:11:1174 is where we find Greg and Natasha
0:11:11 > 0:11:13and then 83, Kathie and Vijay.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Vijay, there'd be something very poetic about you riding to Kathie's
0:11:17 > 0:11:20rescue, here. So if you can find a nice low scoring answer, good luck with that.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22We're going to come back down the line now.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Could the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30OK, let's put seven more definitions up on the board, and here they are.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31We have got...
0:11:56 > 0:11:58I'll do that again.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21There we are. Natasha.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Remind us what you do, Natasha?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I'm a student at King's College, London.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Very good. And what are you studying?
0:12:27 > 0:12:28Liberal arts.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Excellent. Tell me what liberal arts is.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34You do a bit of everything, so I get...
0:12:34 > 0:12:38I get, like, the opportunity to do geography at the same time as film.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- That's quite fun.- It's the new thing, liberal arts.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Liberal arts. It's very, very fashionable now.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45And it just keeps your horizons quite broad, as well.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Yeah.- Do you, then specialise, come your last year, or...?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Yeah, so I've chosen film as my major.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53There we go. That's fun.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Very good. Now, Natasha, 74 is your score at the moment.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59If you could possibly score eight or less you would definitely be in the next round.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04I don't think that's going to happen.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05I'm going to have to...
0:13:05 > 0:13:10I'll try the bottom one, and say...
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Duke.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Duke, says Natasha.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Let's see how many of our 100 people said Duke.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19There is your red line.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Bad luck, I'm afraid, not Duke.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27That scores you 100 points, takes your total to 174.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28It's another good name, though.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31If you are about to have triplets, I would say Duke, Stalker and Victor,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33you could do an awful lot worse.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38That sounds so like someone's badly made-up NATO phonetic alphabet, doesn't it?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41What's the number plate? Duke, Stalker, Victor, eight.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Stalker, Duke...
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Thank you very much. Now, then, Jon.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Welcome back. Lovely to have you with us.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52And so impeccably dressed, as ever.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Jon, remind us what you do?
0:13:53 > 0:13:59I'm a civil engineer and I work for the local authority's contractor in Perthshire.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Very good. In what sort of areas of civil engineering?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Roads maintenance.- Do you have, somewhere in the back of your car,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08a flashing light that you can just stick on the roof?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I absolutely do, yes.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- In orange, though?- Yeah, orange.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Oh, that's a shame. It would be fun if it were blue.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17I have to admit, it doesn't go on the roof very often,
0:14:17 > 0:14:20cos I don't like scratching the paint.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Sometimes highway maintenance cars have sort of things that are a little bit police car like.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26- Yeah.- Do you have that on your car?
0:14:26 > 0:14:31- Well, no.- Always quite funny when people think there's a police car and everyone is going very slowly.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34"Oh, it's highway maintenance..." Vroom! Off they go.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Now, Jon, 35 is where you are.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39You'll never overtake Natasha and Greg's high score of 174,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41even if you score 100.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44What would you like to go for, safe in the knowledge that you are through?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47So there's only one there that I don't know,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50and it's the engineering one, which I should.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55But I'm going to say that to tease someone in a playful way is Josh.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Josh, says Jon. No red line for you. You're already through.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Let's see how many of our 100 people said Josh.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06It's right.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07It's a good answer, Jon.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Look at that. Cracking Jon form, there.
0:15:10 > 0:15:1313 is your score, the lowest score of the round so far,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16taking your total up to 48.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Well played, Jon. I recently did, for a Radio 5 thing,
0:15:18 > 0:15:21I looked through every single player in the Premier League,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23and Josh is the most popular name in the Premier League.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- Is it really?- Yeah, and there was only one Gary.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29There's 400 names and only one Gary left.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30That says a lot.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Doesn't it? No stalkers. Not a single one.- Yet.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- Yet.- Thank you very much, Richard.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Now, Vijay.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Vijay. Oh, you've been handed a bit of a lifeline here, Vijay.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Vijay, remind us what you do?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I'm a software developer and I work in one of Kathie's many teams.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- That's right. Whose idea was it to come on the show?- I don't know.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53I think it was myself. We were just bantering around the office kind of thing -
0:15:53 > 0:15:57"who wants to go on Pointless?" And Kathie was the first one, the loudest.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- She was the only person!- She was the loudest, I would say.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02We're both the loudest in the office, shall we say.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04So, you know when we are in the office.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- Do you watch Pointless in the office?- I watch it vigorously.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Wonderful. Vijay...
0:16:10 > 0:16:1390 or less keeps you in the game.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I was going to go a risky one, but Natasha gave me a lifeline
0:16:16 > 0:16:19and now I'm going to go for the bottom one.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- I'm going to say Dean. - Dean, says Vijay.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Here is your red line, nice and high.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Let's see how far down the column we get with Dean.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31It's right, and you're through.
0:16:33 > 0:16:3447 for Dean.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38130 is your total.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Well played, Vijay. And that's where the name Dean comes from.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45It comes from the job. That's nice, simple.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- It is nice.- Wrapped in a tight little bow.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50There you are. Nice, thank you very much, Richard.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51Now, Alex, welcome to Pointless.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53What a nice way to arrive on Pointless.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58Thanks to Mark's low scoring antics, you are now through to the next round,
0:16:58 > 0:16:59so it takes all the pressure off.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03- I commend you on your shirt, by the way, which is nice.- Thanks.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Always good when people make an effort, Richard.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Yeah, we should one day.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Like that'll ever happen!
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- What do you do, Alex?- I'm a student in Leeds, with Mark.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14At Leeds as well, and also from Penrith?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Yeah, yeah.- Have you known Mark for years and years and years?
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Yeah, since we were about ten.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20That's nice. And what are you studying?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Business with Mark.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Did you choose your degree course because your best friend, Mark,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- was doing it, or is it just complete coincidence?- No, coincidence.- Oh!
0:17:28 > 0:17:30That's nice. Very good, good.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Now, Alex, remember, you're through, so it doesn't matter what you go for.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Why not just talk us through this board and just see if you can find
0:17:37 > 0:17:38a really nice low scoring one up there,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41cos there is definitely one that's flummoxing everyone.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43It's a good job he did well in the last round, really,
0:17:43 > 0:17:45cos I'm struggling a bit here. Erm...
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I'll go small cut or notch - Nick.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52OK, Alex says Nick.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Let's see how many of our 100 people said Nick.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55No red line for you.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00It's right.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02And there we are. 70 is what it scores you.
0:18:02 > 0:18:0395 is your total.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04You are in round two.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Well played, and that actually means victor.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Cos Nick comes from Nike, which is Greek for victory.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Nicholas is victor of the people.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16How about that? Yes, there's one that's going to be confusing everyone.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18It took me a long time to get the second one, down the valley.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Dale.- Dale, I know, ridiculous.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Would have scored 42 points.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Let's look at the network of interconnecting rabbit burrows.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Warren.- Warren. Would have scored you 79.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30And the male of various animals.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- Tom.- Tom.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Would have scored you 55.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- And this last one.- Shall we have some guesses at this?
0:18:37 > 0:18:38- Anyone else?- Lemuel.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Not Laurie, not Lemuel. - That's a shame.- Levi.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- Lewis?- Lewis is the answer.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Would have scored you one point. Very well done if you got that at home.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- Best answer up there.- There we are.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Thank you very much indeed. We are at the end of our first round.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54We have to say goodbye to one of our pairs. And Natasha and Greg, I'm so sorry.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56It could have gone either way. It was Round Two last time.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- Could have gone up to the head-to-head and beyond.- Yeah.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01I'm afraid it's Round One, we have to say goodbye to you.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Anyway, it's been great having you on. Thanks so much for playing, Natasha and Greg.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06APPLAUSE
0:19:06 > 0:19:10But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16So, here we are into Round Two, with only three pairs.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19And at the end of this round we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I'd like to congratulate our newcomers, Mark and Alex,
0:19:22 > 0:19:24for making it through that round with such aplomb.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Well done. But Jon and Donna, our lowest combined scorers.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29And Jon, Josh was the lowest score of the whole round,
0:19:29 > 0:19:32so, well done to you. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Would whoever's going first please step up to the podium?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:19:53 > 0:19:58as many countries that have won Eurovision more than once as they could.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Yes, looking for the name of any country apart from the UK that's won
0:20:03 > 0:20:07the Eurovision more than once, up to and including the 2016 contest.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Thank you very much indeed.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Alex, Eurovision.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18I think I'm going to go for the Republic of Ireland.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19The Republic of Ireland, says Alex.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Let's see how many of our 100 people said the Republic of Ireland.
0:20:27 > 0:20:2978. Not bad.
0:20:29 > 0:20:3278 for the Republic of Ireland.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33Yeah, they've won it seven times.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36But haven't won it for 20 years.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38So, we still do jokes about Ireland winning,
0:20:38 > 0:20:40and they haven't won since 1996.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41- Really, they haven't?- Yeah.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- There it is.- Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Now, Kathie.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I'm feeling I need to apologise to Vijay now,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54because, apart from the UK, the only one I could think of was Ireland.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58This is a great opportunity for you to
0:20:58 > 0:21:03- explore your knowledge of Eurovision.- Yes.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06An informed choice here, even if it's just a guess.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07I'm going to go for...
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- ..France.- France, says Kathie.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15OK, well, let's see how many of our 100 people said France.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- It's right. - Of course it's right.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21You see? And it's scored you much less than Ireland.
0:21:22 > 0:21:2344.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Yes, five wins for France. They haven't won since 1977.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34Donna.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- Hmm.- Hmm.- OK.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43I haven't watched the Eurovision Song Contest for a long time,
0:21:43 > 0:21:48but I think I'm right in thinking that Israel had more than one go.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51OK, let's see. Israel, is that right?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53How many of our 100 people said Israel?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58It's right. 78 is the high score, we pass that.
0:21:58 > 0:22:0044 is the low score, we pass that.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Down we go.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Oh, Donna, 16.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Very well done indeed.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Yes, a very good answer. They won two years in a row, '78 and '79, Israel,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13and then a few years later with Dana International.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- Got their third win. - Thank you very much.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18We are halfway through the round. Let's have a quick look at those scores.
0:22:18 > 0:22:2016, Donna, look at that. Donna and Jon, once again, supreme.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Then up to 44, where we find Kathie and Vijay.
0:22:23 > 0:22:2578 is where we find Alex and Mark.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Well, we're going to come back down the line now.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34So, remember, Jon,
0:22:34 > 0:22:39we are looking for countries that have won the Eurovision Song Contest more than once.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Not a good one, this, for me at all.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46I know that we have, but that's not my answer.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50I'm going to say, and I hope it's right, Sweden.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Stands to reason, surely, Jon.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Well, I know they've won it once, so...
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Well, exactly.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00There we are. Now, lovely low score from Donna has set you up well.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02There is your red line. If you can get below that with Sweden you are
0:23:02 > 0:23:06into our head-to-head. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Sweden.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10It's right.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Not bad. 64.
0:23:14 > 0:23:1780 is your total. I think you've done enough.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Yes, six wins for Sweden, the very first one being Abba in 1974.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23They've also won twice in the last five years.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28Which goes to show it's not entirely dominated by the Eastern bloc these days.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Thank you, Richard.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Vijay. Vijay, let me just tell you now before you give your answer,
0:23:33 > 0:23:3535 is what you are aiming for.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40Just trying to wrack my brain as to which one's going to be the lowest one.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42I'm going to say...
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- ..Italy.- Italy, says Vijay.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Here is your red line. That's what you have to get below to be sure of
0:23:49 > 0:23:50a place in our head-to-head.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Let's see how many of our 100 people said Italy.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59It's right.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02You've done it. Look at that. Down you go.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Down to 18. Not bad at all.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Takes your total up to 62.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Two wins for Italy, 1964 and 1990.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Thank you, Richard. Now then, Mark.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Ooh, yes, this is going to be interesting.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18We need the lowest score of the round.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20You need to score 1 or less here, Mark.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Sorry. Yes, you need to score 1 or less.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- Do you watch the Eurovision Song Contest at all? - Not really, no.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29I was hoping it was going to be X Factor or Britain's Got Talent
0:24:29 > 0:24:31when I saw the category come up.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35But I'm going to risk it and go with Latvia.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Latvia.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40That's what 1 or less looks like. And Latvia.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42That's what 1 or less sounds like to me, certainly.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said Latvia.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Oh.- I had to risk it.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55It was Latvia or bust, wasn't it? And I'm afraid it's bust.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58100 is what that scores you, and 178 is your total.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59But a brave way to go out, Mark.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Yeah, exactly what you had to do. They have won once, in 2002.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Ireland is the biggest scorer by quite some way,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06so you were left with a mountain to climb.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09There's no answer that would have won it for you, in fact,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11cos the lowest scorers would have scored you 9 points
0:25:11 > 0:25:13and they are Luxembourg and Switzerland.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Well done if you said one of them.
0:25:15 > 0:25:1810 points for Austria, 11 for The Netherlands.
0:25:18 > 0:25:2014 for Ukraine would have been a very good answer.
0:25:20 > 0:25:2215 for Denmark.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26You would have got 23 for Norway, 30 for Spain, and Germany,
0:25:26 > 0:25:30who have been in it since 1956, have only ever won it twice.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32But would have scored you 42 points.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34And we've heard the top three scorers already.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So at the end of our second round,
0:25:36 > 0:25:40the pair we have to say goodbye to with their high score of 178, Mark and Alex, it is you.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43But I have no doubt that when you return next time you'll do much, much better.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47It's been great having you here. Thank you so much, Mark and Alex.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Congratulations, Jon and Donna, Kathie and Vijay.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our
0:26:01 > 0:26:06jackpot, which currently stands at £5,250.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11The big news is we are now at the head-to-head round,
0:26:11 > 0:26:13which means you can start playing as a pair,
0:26:13 > 0:26:15you can confer before you give your answers,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18and the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Now, Jon and Donna, we were here last time.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23You were our low scorers, I think, as well, in the head-to-head last time.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26And you failed on that occasion to get through to the final,
0:26:26 > 0:26:30so you've got to be hoping that this will be your opportunity.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32But Kathie and Vijay, you left us at the end of round one last time and
0:26:32 > 0:26:34here you are in the head-to-head.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38So, who knows, with that kind of trajectory behind you, what might happen?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Very, very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Here is your first question. And it concerns...
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- Richard.- We're going to show you five pictures of actors now
0:26:56 > 0:26:59dressed up as Father Christmas. Can you tell us who the actors are, please?
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five actors, and here they are.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04We've got:
0:27:35 > 0:27:38There we are. Five actors in Father Christmas costumes.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Jon and Donna, you will go first as you are our low scorers.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53We are going to go for E,
0:27:53 > 0:27:55and that's Billy Bob Thornton.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57E, Billy Bob Thornton, say Jon and Donna.
0:27:57 > 0:28:02Now then, Kathie and Vijay, can you talk us through that board?
0:28:02 > 0:28:04No.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05We know A and B.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10B is Sid James and A is Richard Attenborough.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Shall we take a punt for D, then?
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Just make up a name? Cos we're not going to...
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Well, if you've got a name, go for it.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19I just think we're going to make one up.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Because we're not going to get lower than E at that rate.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26A, Richard Attenborough, Xander.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28I loved your optimism that your chances
0:28:28 > 0:28:31of making up a name that happened to be right...
0:28:31 > 0:28:33LAUGHTER
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Who knows? Well, we never will, sadly.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40But you're going to go for A, Richard Attenborough.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43So, we have Jon and Donna saying Billy Bob Thornton for E.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:28:49 > 0:28:50It's right.
0:28:54 > 0:28:5817 for Billy Bob Thornton.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Kathie and Vijay, meanwhile,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04have gone for A and said Richard Attenborough.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Let's see how many of our 100 people said Richard Attenborough.
0:29:09 > 0:29:10It's right.
0:29:13 > 0:29:1637. Not bad. Not a bad score.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19But it means, Jon and Donna, very well done,
0:29:19 > 0:29:21after one question you are up 1-0.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Yeah, good answer, Billy Bob Thornton,
0:29:23 > 0:29:25second best answer on the board.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Sid James is the biggest scorer on the board.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Would have scored you 68 points.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34We will leave C for the moment and go on to D.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38That is Lindsay Lohan. And C, let's take a look.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42Now, he's very famous for a big American drama series now.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44He's bald in that.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46And it doesn't look... He looks more like Hugh Dennis there,
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- I'm going to say.- He does a bit. - But it's Bryan Cranston.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52And it was a pointless answer, as well, so well done if you said that.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Completely, I would say, unrecognisable.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55Completely. There we are.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Thank you very much indeed, Richard. OK, here comes your second question.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Kathie and Vijay, obviously you get to answer first but you have to win
0:30:01 > 0:30:04this one, so a little bit of pressure on you there.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07So our second question is all about...
0:30:08 > 0:30:12- Michelangelo, Richard.- Yeah, I really hope you know your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, both teams,
0:30:12 > 0:30:16because... No, we are going to ask you five questions now about the artist,
0:30:16 > 0:30:18the Italian Renaissance artist, Michelangelo.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20What's the most obscure answer?
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Thank you very much indeed. OK, let's reveal our five clues, and here they are.
0:30:44 > 0:30:45I'll read those all again.
0:31:02 > 0:31:03Kathie and Vijay will go first.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08I think we should stick with the safe one.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10- We've got no choice.- OK.
0:31:10 > 0:31:17OK, we are not terribly sure on the majority of the board,
0:31:17 > 0:31:20so we are going with the middle one, and the Sistine Chapel.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Sistine Chapel, say Kathie and Vijay.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Now, Jon and Donna.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Talk us through that board.
0:31:27 > 0:31:33Well, we're pretty sure that the statue is David.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36We should know his surname beginning with B.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38I feel I should know, but it won't come to me.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40And no idea about the Pope, either.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44- So, we are going to have to say David, aren't we?- Yeah.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46OK, David versus the Sistine Chapel.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Sistine Chapel, say Kathie and Vijay.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Sistine Chapel is right.
0:31:56 > 0:31:5772.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Unsurprisingly quite a high score, there.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Jon and Donna, meanwhile, have gone for David.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Let's see how many of our 100 people said David.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11It's right.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12And it wins you the point.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Down to 41 for David, and that means, Jon and Donna,
0:32:16 > 0:32:19after only two questions you're straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Yeah, very well played.
0:32:21 > 0:32:22Now, this second one, the surname,
0:32:22 > 0:32:25absolutely the sort of thing you think you should know, isn't it?
0:32:25 > 0:32:27One of those things you must have heard.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29- Do you know it?- No. - Do you think you should know it?
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Oh, I think I really should.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Michelangelo Buonarroti.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- Very well done if you said that. - Buonarroti.
0:32:36 > 0:32:41- 11 points.- Good for our 100. That's good.- 11, that's good.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45Now, the decade in which he died. We know it's after 1513.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48That's the good news. It's actually quite a long time after 1513.
0:32:48 > 0:32:501560s is the answer, there.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Would have scored you ten.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55And the Pope was Julius II, and that is a pointless answer,
0:32:55 > 0:32:57so, very well done if you said that.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Well, that brings us to the end of our head-to-head round and the pair
0:33:03 > 0:33:05we have to say goodbye to, I'm afraid, Kathie and Vijay.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Much, much stronger performance across the show today.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Great to see much more of you this time, but I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13But thank you so much for playing, Kathie and Vijay.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20But, for Jon and Donna, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Congratulations, Jon and Donna. You have seen off all competition
0:33:26 > 0:33:29and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:33:37 > 0:33:42At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £5,250.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Now, that's exciting.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49That would be a nice prize to be taking home.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Last time, into the head-to-head,
0:33:51 > 0:33:54beautiful low scoring all the way through the first two rounds,
0:33:54 > 0:33:57low scorers in the head-to-head,
0:33:57 > 0:33:59and then you didn't make it through to the final.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02This time, you've come back and made sure you do it absolutely properly,
0:34:02 > 0:34:04through 2-0, which is always a good sign.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:34:07 > 0:34:10For me, it would have to be musical theatre.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Well, that's quite good. I mean, musical theatre quite often creeps into this round.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18- Would be good. Or celebrities. - Or celebrities, OK.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Jon, how about you?
0:34:20 > 0:34:24Well, I'm not fussy, to be honest. Whatever comes up, it's fine.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Do you know what, just as I watched Jon,
0:34:27 > 0:34:31this nice, benign, smiling face, I think you'd make a great Father Christmas, Jon.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35- He would, eh? - I'd have to grow a beard, though.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39- Has he'd done it before? - No, but he should,
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- cos he has had a bigger beard than that.- Yeah.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44There are always well stuffed stockings in our house.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Yeah, I'm going to stop you there, Jon!
0:34:47 > 0:34:50LAUGHTER
0:34:50 > 0:34:54Let's see what today's selection of categories looks like.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Let's hope there's something in there that you like the look of.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57We have got...
0:34:57 > 0:35:00opera, red things,
0:35:00 > 0:35:02most capped international rugby players,
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Game of Thrones.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Well... If we did that one, you'd be on your own.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12Yeah, I would, wouldn't I?
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Which is the one you're thinking of?
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Game of Thrones. I've just watched that myself.
0:35:17 > 0:35:22I'm not allowed to watch that. I get too excited, so she watches it on her own.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24- Opera would be useless.- No.
0:35:24 > 0:35:29- Red things is a bit of a potluck, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31And rugby - no.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35- So it's red things or Game of Thrones.- Absolutely.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Well, do you fancy playing on your own?
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Not really. Not really!
0:35:41 > 0:35:43LAUGHTER
0:35:43 > 0:35:47- Will we go red things, then? - I think we should. - Right, red things, please.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Red things. OK, longing to find out what this is.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52That's what we call chickening out, by the way, that's what we call that.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55That's perfectly all right, perfectly all right.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Three very different questions here. Hopefully one of these will suit you.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00We are looking for any of the following, please.
0:36:00 > 0:36:06Any actors in the 1998 film The Thin Red Line, according to IMDB.
0:36:06 > 0:36:11Any stations on the Central Line on the TfL map, please, in London.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Or we are looking for any artists who have had singles which feature
0:36:14 > 0:36:17the word red in the title who have had a UK top 40 hit, please,
0:36:17 > 0:36:20up to the beginning of August 2016.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22HE READS OPTIONS
0:36:29 > 0:36:30Very, very best of luck.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Thanks very much indeed. As always,
0:36:32 > 0:36:34you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38And all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of your answers to be pointless.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39- Are you ready?- Yes.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Well, you can forget about the actors in The Thin Red Line because
0:36:47 > 0:36:49- I don't know that film at all. - That's me as well.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Artists who have had a single, red.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55What about red balloons, whatever her name, Neneh Cherry.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- No, it wasn't that. - What's her name then?
0:36:58 > 0:37:01UB40 - Red, Red Wine.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05- Well, done, Jonny! - Chris De Burgh, Lady In Red.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Was it not just Nena, the girl with the balloons?
0:37:08 > 0:37:12- Nena, you're right.- 99 Red Balloons, it was Nena.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14You're doing great.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Stations on the Central Line. Liverpool Street.
0:37:17 > 0:37:22What's his name, Neil Diamond, did he not have one about red, red wine?
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- He did! Neil Diamond. - That's another one.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Was that a single, though, I don't know?
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Possibly not. The other ones were.
0:37:29 > 0:37:30Definitely. Anything else?
0:37:34 > 0:37:36- Ten seconds.- I know.- Stations on the Central Line.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39I don't know. I ken, I've been on it loads, but I can't remember.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42I don't know. Liverpool Street is the only one I can think of,
0:37:42 > 0:37:45and I'm not even going to go there.
0:37:45 > 0:37:46OK, that is your time up.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Sounds like you've got some good answers, though.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50- Let's hear them.- Right.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54So, out of those ones we mentioned, are we sticking with Nena?
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- Yeah, we'll go with her. - OK, Nena.- Nena.- Nena.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00And we're going to go with UB40 - Red, Red Wine.
0:38:00 > 0:38:01UB40.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06- And...- And the other one you said was... Chris De Burgh - Lady In Red.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- Nena, I think.- Nena, we'll put Nena last.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- Least likely to be pointless? - UB40, I would say.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17And Chris De Burgh goes in the middle.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20OK, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then.
0:38:20 > 0:38:21And here they are.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25We have got UB40, Chris De Burgh and Nena.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26Well, very, very best of luck.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Three good answers on the board, there.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30If one of these turns out to be pointless
0:38:30 > 0:38:35and wins that jackpot for you, quite a nice jackpot today, 5,250 quid.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39What would you like to do with that? Jon, I'm going to ask you first.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42If I got that money,
0:38:42 > 0:38:47I would give it to Donna and she would spend it on taking me on a cruise.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49LAUGHTER
0:38:51 > 0:38:55- Donna?- I second that.
0:38:55 > 0:39:00Wonderful! That reflects exactly the same sort of teamwork as we saw during that minute there.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02That's fabulous. Now, three good answers.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05UB40 was your first, for Red, Red Wine.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08In all three cases we were looking for any UK top 40 single
0:39:08 > 0:39:10with the word red in its title.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13If this is pointless, it will win you £5,250.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Let's see how many of our 100 people said UB40.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22It's right. Now, if UB40 takes us all the way down to zero,
0:39:22 > 0:39:25you leave here with £5,250.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Down we go. Through the 30s, into the 20s.
0:39:28 > 0:39:3027.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35But that's why you put that one first.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38We move your next answer, Chris De Burgh.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41In this case we were looking for the Lady In Red,
0:39:41 > 0:39:43another UK top 40 single with red in its title.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46How many of our 100 people said Chris De Burgh?
0:39:46 > 0:39:49If it's pointless it wins you £5,250.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54It's right.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57UB40 took us all the way down to 27.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Chris De Burgh now takes us down through the 30s.
0:40:01 > 0:40:0330 for Chris De Burgh.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10But we'd have been very surprised if these had been pointless answers.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12We now move onto a really good answer.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Your third and final answer, Nena.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16You had no hesitation putting this as your last one,
0:40:16 > 0:40:19the one you thought was probably your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:19 > 0:40:2199 Red Balloons is the song.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23If it's pointless, it wins you £5,250.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25How many of our 100 people said Nena?
0:40:29 > 0:40:31It's right.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34UB40 was right, took us all the way down to 27.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Chris De Burgh was also right, took us to 30.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Well, we've passed 30 and we've past 27.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Down we go. Nena...
0:40:40 > 0:40:41Ooh - 9.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Well, that's a great score, though.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Fabulous low score, 9.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Annoyingly, though, we only take pointless answers in this last round,
0:40:51 > 0:40:54so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57That will roll over onto the next show. But it's been lovely having you here on shows.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00And you've done so, so well right across each show you've been on.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02It's just been great fun to have you with us.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05And you get a Pointless trophy to take home for your trouble.
0:41:05 > 0:41:06So, very well done indeed, Jon and Donna.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09APPLAUSE
0:41:11 > 0:41:12Yes, three correct answers, there.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16Well done. I can't help thinking you might have done better on Game of Thrones, but we'll never know.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19We will never know. There's only two other artists
0:41:19 > 0:41:21who would have scored more than one point on the red one.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Those are three of the top four answers.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Prince and the Rolling Stones, with Little Red Corvette,
0:41:26 > 0:41:28and the Red Rooster also would have scored you 10.
0:41:28 > 0:41:328 and 1 point for Kate Bush, Basement Jaxx, Taylor Swift, Billy Ocean and the Sugababes.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Everything else is pointless. We'll take a look in a moment
0:41:35 > 0:41:37at the pointless answers. We'll start with The Thin Red Line,
0:41:37 > 0:41:40a brilliant film, and some big actors here.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48Everyone pointless in that film apart from Sean Penn, Nick Nolte,
0:41:48 > 0:41:52John Travolta, Jim Caviezel, George Clooney and Adrien Brody.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Loads of pointless answers on the Central Line.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04The pointless train also stops at Barkingside, Chigwell, Debden,
0:42:04 > 0:42:07East Acton, Fairlop, Gants Hill, Holland Park, Lancaster Gate,
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Newbury Park, change at Queensway for Redbridge, Roding Valley,
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Ruislip Gardens, Snaresbrook, South Woodford, West Acton,
0:42:13 > 0:42:14White City and Woodford.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18All of those pointless answers. Well done if you got one.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21And artists, now, who've had a single with red in the title.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Garth Brooks - The Red Strokes. Kylie Minogue - Red Blooded Woman.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27The Beautiful South with the wonderful Old Red Eyes Is Back.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31The Drifters - You're More Than A Number In My Little Red Book was a pointless answer.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Lots of others. Daniel Merriweather and Elbow both had songs called Red,
0:42:34 > 0:42:37both pointless answers. Elvis Costello, Turning the Town Red.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Meatloaf is there. Red Letter Day by the Pet Shop Boys, as well.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Lots of other pointless answers there. Very well done if you got one at home.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Thank you very much indeed, Richard, and thank you, once again,
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Jon and Donna. It's been great having you here.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Very sadly, though, they didn't win today's jackpot,
0:42:50 > 0:42:55which means it rolls over onto the next show when we will be playing for £6,250.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05APPLAUSE
