0:00:20 > 0:00:21Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26the show where the aim of the game is score as few points as you can,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28and you do that by coming up with the answers
0:00:28 > 0:00:31no-one else could think of. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39- Couple number one.- Hi, my name is Haluk, and this is my brother Tahir,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- and we're from North London. - Couple number two.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Hi, there. My name's Chris.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46This is my fiancee, Eleanor, and we're from Glasgow.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Couple number three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Andrina, this is my husband, John,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- and we're from Cambridge. - And finally, couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hello, there. My name is Mark and this is my friend Alex
0:00:55 > 0:00:57and we're from Penrith in Cumbria.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Thanks very much. A very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Great to have you with us. We'll get a chance to chat to you
0:01:06 > 0:01:08throughout the show, as it goes along,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Here to provide a learning curve so steep,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14you'll need a Himalayan Sherpa to scale it,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Hiya. Hey, everybody! Hiya.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24This should be fun. We've only got one returning pair,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Mark and Alex. Last time they were on the first podium,
0:01:27 > 0:01:28they were our only new pair.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30This time, they're our only returning pair,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33on the final podium, lording it over everybody...
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- I know.- Like masters of all they survey.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37But anything could happen.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Three new pairs.- It just could.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40- They seem nice, don't they? - They do seem nice.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Also, without giving too much away, a nice little jackpot brewing up.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- Yes.- Isn't there? - Isn't there just?
0:01:46 > 0:01:48It'd be quite a handy show to win, this one.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50It would. Thank you, Richard.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52You might have gathered from that, by the way,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54John and Donna didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56so we'll to add another £1,000 to that,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58so today's jackpot starts off, look at this...
0:02:00 > 0:02:02There we are.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13So, remember, the pair with the highest score
0:02:13 > 0:02:15at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18So, keep your scores low, nothing to worry about.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Our first category this afternoon is Science.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Can you all decide in your pairs? Big nod from Tahir.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Pleased with that. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:02:28 > 0:02:30who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Richard.- Yep, we're going to show you seven clues on each board
0:02:46 > 0:02:49to things to do with science that begin with the letter I.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Brilliant. OK, thank you very much.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54So, we are looking for these things that begin with the letter I,
0:02:54 > 0:02:55and here is our board of clues.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57And they read like this...
0:03:33 > 0:03:35There we go, I'm going to read them again...
0:04:06 > 0:04:09How nice to hear about Frederick Soddy.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Until now, I wasn't aware of him.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Oh, really? You've heard of Soddy's Law?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Thanks, Richard. Haluk, welcome to Pointless.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Good to have you here. What do you do, Haluk?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- I work in e-commerce. - Very good indeed.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25And what are your interests, Haluk?
0:04:25 > 0:04:30Music, daytime television, pretty much.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32When I have time.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36But, you know, sports, playing and watching.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38I watch quite a lot of sport, but aside from that,
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- I don't really have time. - There we are.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43"Don't really have time"/ daytime television.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Haluk, what would you like to go for on our board?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49So, there's two that I...
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Well, there's a few that I'm fairly certain of,
0:04:51 > 0:04:53but there's two that I'm actually really interested in.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57One of the three main rock types, I'm going to say igneous.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Igneous, says Haluk. Let's see if that's right.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Let's see how many of our 100 people said igneous.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04You're getting a nod from Tahir. How many of our 100 people said it?
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Igneous.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Good answer, Haluk.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15There we are, 22. Not bad at all.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Good start to the round.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Yeah, a really nice start.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Three types of rock type, igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Granite is igneous.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28So, if you've got a granite worktop, you've an igneous worktop.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30I don't know why I'm nodding, I had no idea.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32But, yes, that's good, I'm pleased to know that.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Yes, it's terrific news, isn't it? - Yes, it is good.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Thank you very much, Richard. Now then, Eleanor.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39- Welcome.- Hello.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Welcome to Pointless. Here from Glasgow?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- Yeah.- And what do you do in Glasgow, Eleanor?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I'm a trainee clinical psychologist.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Wow! So where are you doing your training?
0:05:48 > 0:05:53It's a mixture between NHS Glasgow and also Glasgow University.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Right you are. So, how far are you into your clinical psychology?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I've just finished first year, so I've got two more years to go.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Enjoying it, though? - Yeah, it's really good,
0:06:01 > 0:06:04a really good way to meet a lot of different people, so, yeah.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Very good indeed. Now, Eleanor,
0:06:05 > 0:06:09how are we feeling about these I's in science?
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Not great.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12There's a couple that maybe I could guess,
0:06:12 > 0:06:15but I think I'm just going to play it safe,
0:06:15 > 0:06:18so I think I'm going to go with the top one,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21the mathematician and physicist, and say Isaac Newton.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Isaac Newton, says Eleanor.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Let's see how many of our 100 people said Isaac Newton.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30It is Isaac Newton.
0:06:30 > 0:06:3222's our only score at this point.
0:06:33 > 0:06:3446 for Isaac Newton.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Yeah, very well played. Universal gravitation before Newton...
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Whoa!- Goodness, we were all floating.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- It was a good day.- What did they think was going on? I wonder.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- I know. Well, they were all up in the air, weren't they?- Yeah.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Thank you, Richard. Now, John, welcome to Pointless.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Good to have you here, sir, from Cambridge. What do you do?
0:06:57 > 0:07:01I'm head of construction for a house-building company.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Based very much in Cambridge?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Yeah, pretty much in the county of Cambridge and just outside.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09I see, OK. Is it residential or are you...?
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Residential, yeah.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Family homes, traditional family homes.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- Very good. Homes for traditional families.- Yes.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19John, what are your interests?
0:07:19 > 0:07:23I like a bit of... We like a bit of Formula 1, a bit of rally,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26some fishing, drinking, eating, pubs.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Very good. OK, get into the functions now, breathing, yes.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34John, what would you like to go for on our board?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Well, there's an easy one there and there's one
0:07:37 > 0:07:41that kind of I'm guessing at, so obviously, we could go...
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I think we'll go for the electromagnetic frequency,
0:07:44 > 0:07:46and I would say infrared.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Infrared, says John.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Let's see how many of our 100 people said infrared.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Well, it's right. 46 the highest score.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57We pass the highest score.
0:07:57 > 0:07:5922 the low score. 28 is where you end up.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Not bad at all, John.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Well played. It has a frequency in between visible light
0:08:07 > 0:08:10and microwaves. So, if you've got one in your kitchen,
0:08:10 > 0:08:12put it between the light switch and the microwave
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- and that's where your infrared will be.- You'll know where to find it.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Exactly.- Make it feel at home. - Yeah.- That's nice.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Mark, welcome back.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Hello.- End of Round Two, we had to say goodbye to you last time.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Got to be hoping to take it a couple of steps further today.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Mark, remind us what you do.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30I'm currently a student, studying in Leeds.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Study in Leeds. And from Penrith?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Beautiful part of the world. - Yeah, it is.- Very lovely.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37What sort of things do you get up to in Leeds, Mark?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- In Leeds?- Hm.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Socialising, going out, drinking,
0:08:41 > 0:08:43the things I don't really get to do in Penrith
0:08:43 > 0:08:45because there's not much of it going on up there,
0:08:45 > 0:08:47so make the most of it while I'm in Leeds.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49So, what do you do when you're in Penrith?
0:08:49 > 0:08:50We go out on walks,
0:08:50 > 0:08:53look at the nice views of the lakes that are close by...
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- And then back to daytime telly! That's great.- Yeah.- Superb.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Mark, this board is all yours.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Do you feel like talking us through it and filling in all those blanks?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04There were four that I knew and three of them have been said,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07and the other one is an obvious one, which is the solid form of water,
0:09:07 > 0:09:08which I think is ice.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11There's a risky one in the bottom, the term introduced,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14which I think is isotope.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- I'm going to go with isotope, the risky one.- Isotope, says Mark.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Let's see how many of our 100 people said isotope.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23It's a nod from Tahir, which we have learnt is a good sign.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29You're right. Tahir's right.
0:09:30 > 0:09:3222 is our low score at this point.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Isotope smashes past 22.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Look at that, down to 10.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Very well done indeed, Mark.
0:09:38 > 0:09:3910 for isotope.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Very well played, Mark, and tactically very good as well.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Would've been very easy to chicken out and go for the obvious one.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48You went for it and it's the lowest scorer.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50So, ice, what do you think ice scores?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53It's got to be high, 98.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- 80. - AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:09:56 > 0:09:5880, that would have scored you.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01The first name of Marie Curie's daughter, you can maybe guess it.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Five letters, beginning with I.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- Irene?- Irene is the right answer, yeah.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06- No!- It's the best answer on the board as well.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Irene. I see.- And the element... - Iodine.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13..is iodine, yeah, and that would have scored you 35.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Thank you very much indeed. We're halfway through the round.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:17 > 0:10:1910, the best of the pass, Mark, very well done indeed.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Yes, I'd say Mark and Alex looking very strong contenders at this point
0:10:22 > 0:10:25for Round Two, as are Haluk and Tahir, well done.
0:10:25 > 0:10:3028 is where we find John and Andrina, and 46, Eleanor and Chris.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Not wildly ahead, but ahead,
0:10:32 > 0:10:34so Chris, you know what we need.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:41 > 0:10:46OK, let's put seven more clues to I's in science, and here they come.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47We've got...
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I'll read those all again...
0:11:47 > 0:11:50There we are. Now then, Alex.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- Hello.- Welcome back.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- So, you are studying in Leeds. - Yeah.- Alongside Mark.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Yeah.- And what are your interests, Alex?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00What sort of things do you like getting up to?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I absolutely love football. I'm a Newcastle United fan.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05OK. Do you get up to Newcastle much?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Not when I'm living in Leeds, it's a bit of a trek up there.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08But I watch them every week.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Well, I used to when they were in the Premier League.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Very... Deserted them now, OK!
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Now, 10 is your score.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17If you can possibly score 35 or less,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19you are straight through to the next round, Alex.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- What are you going to go for? - I think I know a few of them,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25but I think I'm going to go for the top one and say iris.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27OK, iris, says Alex. Here's your red line.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31If you can get below that red line with iris, you are into Round Two.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34How many of our 100 people said iris?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38It's right.
0:12:39 > 0:12:4178, that's a big score.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Taking your total up to 88.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Yeah, big score. That's where we get the expression,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- "When iris eyes are smiling"! - That's right.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- Yeah.- Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Now, Andrina.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Andrina, welcome to Pointless. What do you do, Andrina?
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I'm a foot health practitioner.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01That's... That's fun.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- HE CHUCKLES - It can be!
0:13:03 > 0:13:06So, do you do podiatry as well, is it?
0:13:06 > 0:13:11Not so much, but, yeah, more like corns and problems like that.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I see. What are you meant to do with a corn, Andrina?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Sorry, talk amongst yourselves.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20I have...a friend, who has a corn.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24OK, normally, I enucleate it out with a scalpel,
0:13:24 > 0:13:26and then put some padding on it.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28You enucleate it out with a small device?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Cut it out, basically.- There we are, that's what you're meant to do?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Yeah.- Thank you. Glad we sorted that out.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Now then, Andrina, you're on 28.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37If you can possibly score 59...
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- Oh, I don't think I can. - 59, it's not bad, 59 or less.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- I can't do any of them. - Really?- Yeah.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49I only knew the top one, so the term for the biological process...
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- ..in vi... No. In vitro?- In vitro...
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Yeah.- ..says Andrina. In vitro. Here is your red line.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00If you can get below that with in vitro,
0:14:00 > 0:14:02you are through to Round Two.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08It's only right, Andrina.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11And sees you very comfortably through to Round Two,
0:14:11 > 0:14:12very well done indeed.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14In vitro, 24.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17It's a lower score than John got, 52 is your total.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Well played, Andrina.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21You can't say you can't do any science questions
0:14:21 > 0:14:23when you've just used the word enucleate, I'm afraid.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Now then, Chris.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Chris, been let off the hook there by Alex,
0:14:31 > 0:14:33so, yes, Chris, what do you do?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I'm an aspiring actor and comedian.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Are you? And what kind of acting do you do
0:14:40 > 0:14:42and what kind of comedy do you do?
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Mostly, it's all up in Scotland,
0:14:43 > 0:14:47so it's mostly a mixture of kind of onstage and live.
0:14:47 > 0:14:52- OK, and do you do stand up? - Yes.- And do you go to Edinburgh?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Yeah, just go to the Edinburgh Fringe,
0:14:54 > 0:14:56mostly though, it's just pubs and clubs.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Excellent. How long have you been doing it?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- About eight, nine years.- And enjoying it, it's all going well?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- Yeah, I enjoy it.- Very good.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Now, Chris, you are on 46.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10If you can possibly score 41 or less, you're home and dry.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12There's only one I know.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I don't know if I should take a risk and guess...
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Take a risk! Sorry, I don't know where that came from.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22Yeah, 41, anything over 41 and you know, you know.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27OK, I'll go for the chemical symbol, Fe, and say iron.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- Iron. Was that your risk?- No.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34There is your red line. If you get below that red line with iron,
0:15:34 > 0:15:36you are through to the next round.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38How many of our 100 people said iron?
0:15:40 > 0:15:41It's right.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Oh! 52, I'm afraid, Chris.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Taking your total up to 98.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53That's perked them up on podium four, hasn't it?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56The Earth's core is almost entirely iron.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- If you need iron, that's the place to go.- I did not know that.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Yeah, we're sitting on a big hub of iron.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04If you just got a massive magnet in space, we'd go...doi-oi-oing!
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- Yes.- Wow.- Yeah, we would.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- Wow.- Yeah, we should be looking out for that.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12We should. Thank you, Richard.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Now, Tahir.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Tahir, welcome to the show.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Good to have you here. What do you do, Tahir?
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Just finished second-year chemistry, starting third year soon.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22I mean, this is just... I mean...
0:16:25 > 0:16:28I mean, very exciting indeed.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29You work out, Tahir?
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Yes, 18 hours a week.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34You really work out, Tahir!
0:16:34 > 0:16:37My goodness. I think the expression is hench.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39Tahir is hench.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Wow.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45So, hang on, how are you finding time to do all the chemistry?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Or do you do it on the bench press?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- In my mind, while I'm training. - Exactly.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54If I'm not in the gym, I'm revising, so that's my life, essentially.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56There we are, OK. Now, there you are, 22.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59If you can score 75 or less, you are home and dry.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Talk us through the board and fill in all our blanks.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05OK, not sure on the large bone of the pelvis
0:17:05 > 0:17:08and not sure on the zoology of fish.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Quite confident on the moon of Jupiter
0:17:11 > 0:17:12and the animal lacking a backbone.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I'll go with the moon of Jupiter, Io.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20No-one can say you lacked a backbone, Tahir.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Io.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23There is your red line.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29It's right, Io, and you are through to Round Two.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Very well done.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33Good score as well, 19.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Taking your total up to 41.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Yeah, very well played, Io.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42You were right to avoid invertebrates,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44the animal that lacks a backbone.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46That's the biggest scorer.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48It would have scored you 43.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Do you know the branch of zoology concerned with fish?
0:17:52 > 0:17:53- No.- It's ichthyology.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- I do now.- Very well done if you said that at home,
0:17:55 > 0:17:57would have scored you nine.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59And the large bone that forms the upper part
0:17:59 > 0:18:00of each half of the pelvis.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Well, you've got your sacroiliac,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04which personal trainers go on about all the time.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06It's your ilium.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Ilium, that would have scored you two points.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Very well done if you said that at home.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Thank you very much, we are at the end of our first round
0:18:13 > 0:18:17and the pair who leave with a high score of 98, Chris and Eleanor.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Nothing wrong with either of your answers, they were just a bit high.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Chris, did you know, were you right with your risky one?
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Absolutely wrong, yeah.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Oh, good, there we are, phew, that's a relief.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32We'll see you again next time and I hope you'll go much further,
0:18:32 > 0:18:35but in the meantime, thanks very much, Chris and Eleanor.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Right, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Suddenly we're down to three pairs.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48At the end of this round, we'll be down to two pairs.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51I'm afraid it's cruel, Pointless, is essentially what it is.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Mark, very well done indeed, lowest individual score in that round,
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- isotope, lovely score.- Thank you.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Tahir and Haluk, our lowest combined score,
0:18:58 > 0:19:00so very well done on our near podium.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Our category for Round Two today is...
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Mm! Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:19:08 > 0:19:11who's going to go second? And whoever is going first,
0:19:11 > 0:19:12please step up to the podium.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17OK, and the question concerns...
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- Richard.- We're going to show you 16 pictures now
0:19:23 > 0:19:25of fruits and vegetables.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28We just need you to tell us what they are, please.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31That's all, we're going to give the first letter of their name as well.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- Oh, simple as that!- It's nice, isn't it?- 16 items of fruit and veg.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37You just have to say the name of any fruit or veg
0:19:37 > 0:19:39you can see on that board, all right?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Let's put the image up and here they are.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47There we go.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50That's like the screen that comes up when you use the self-service till,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- isn't it?- Mm, mm!
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Now, Haluk.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02G and goji berry.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Goji berry, says Haluk.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Let's see if that's right, let's see how many
0:20:06 > 0:20:08of our 100 people said goji berry.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10It's right.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16Oh, that's a good answer.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Look at that, six, very well done indeed.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Great start, six for goji berry.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Very well played, Haluk. Terrific answer.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27You see the clapping there from Tahir.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- That's some hench clapping, right there.- Sonic boom.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Yeah, really, goodness me, you should wear ear defenders.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Yeah, goji berries, they've become much more popular.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37They've been used in China for years.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Also known as the wolf berry.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42I like wolf, I'd go with wolf berry.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45But I guess goji berry makes them sound slightly more hipster.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Mm. John?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51I think I will go for...
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- ..samphire.- Samphire, says John.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Let's see how many of our 100 people said samphire.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02It's right.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Six is the only score we have at the moment, samphire.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Oh, look at that, seven. You end up neighbours.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Very nice indeed, seven for samphire.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17There it is in the top row, grows on rocks and cliffs by the sea,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20samphire, it's a member of the parsley family.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21Thank you. Now, Mark.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I'm torn between a couple.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30I think I'm going to go with kale.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Kale, says Mark. Let's see how many of our 100 people said kale.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Kale is right. Well, seven is the high score,
0:21:40 > 0:21:41six is the low score...
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Until now, obviously, 60 is now our high score, kale.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I thought that would have scored less than 60, I have to say.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50Again, it's become much more famous
0:21:50 > 0:21:53and when you've got the letter there as well,
0:21:53 > 0:21:54I guess what else could it be?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Mm. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58So, now, we are halfway through the round.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Let's look at those scores. Six, Haluk, very well done,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03the best score of the pass. Haluk and Tahir looking very strong,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06as indeed are John and Andrina, because, I'm afraid, Mark and Alex,
0:22:06 > 0:22:07this happened last time,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10you were our super low scorers in the first round,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13then Round Two, you suddenly... We had to say goodbye to you.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- This can't be a pattern. - I hope not.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Alex, we need a low score from you, very, very best of luck.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20We simply can't say goodbye to at the end of this round.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22We're going to come back down the line now.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30So, Alex, fruit and veg.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I mean, there are some interesting ones there.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- Yeah.- Not your usual ones.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38It's not your first rank of fruit and veg,
0:22:38 > 0:22:41so maybe if you knew any of those, they might...
0:22:41 > 0:22:43I think I'm going to go for papaya.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Papaya, says Alex.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Well, no red line for you as you're our high scorers.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Let's see how far down the column we get with papaya.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Not bad, 28 for papaya,
0:22:59 > 0:23:00taking your total up to 88.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Yeah, an American tropical fruit, the papaya.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07There it is. There it goes.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Andrina?
0:23:10 > 0:23:15I think I'm going to go for H for horseradish.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17H for horseradish, says Andrina.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18Here is your red line.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Lovely line, if you can get below that,
0:23:20 > 0:23:22you are through to the head-to-head.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24How many of our 100 people said horseradish?
0:23:28 > 0:23:32It's right and still going down, look at that.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Down to 19. Very well done indeed,
0:23:34 > 0:23:36taking your total up to 26.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Yeah, H from Steps, that H stands for horseradish as well.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43It doesn't, really. You know in Germany,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45they make horseradish schnapps?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- Whee!- That's a drink and a half, isn't it?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Oh, yeah. I have a sort of love-hate relationship
0:23:50 > 0:23:54with anything that goes up my nose, you know, like mustard, wasabi.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Yeah, it's like when you jump in a swimming pool.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- When it goes up your nose. - Less keen on that.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Yeah.- Mm!
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- Hah!- When will you learn?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05I know. Secretly like it, though.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- Oh, OK.- But I don't, but I do, but I don't.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- But you do.- But I do.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Tahir, Tahir, there you are on six,
0:24:14 > 0:24:16fabulous score from Haluk in the first pass.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Now, that means you can score 81 or less and still get through.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24The only obscure ones, I don't really know from that board,
0:24:24 > 0:24:26so I'm going to have to go with...
0:24:28 > 0:24:31..what I feel is the best one of the ones I know, marrow.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Marrow, says Tahir. Marrow.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Here is your red line.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38If you can get below that with marrow,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41you are through to the next round. How many people said marrow?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45It's right.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47And you're through, very well done indeed,
0:24:47 > 0:24:4977 for marrow, takes your total up to 83.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Well played, Tahir, all you had to do there.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Now, I know you'll be able to fill in almost all of these,
0:24:57 > 0:24:58let's start with the top left.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- Leek.- Leek, would have scored 92 points.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- Next to that...- Kiwi. - Kiwi, correct.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07- That would have scored you 95 points.- Wow.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- Celery?- Celery would have scored 82.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- Then after...- Spinach. - 66 for spinach.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16- Asparagus.- Asparagus, 79.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- That's a cabbage, is it? - It's not cabbage.- Oh!
0:25:22 > 0:25:25It's a tropical gourd that the Mayans and Aztecs used.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30- It's... I've no idea. - Chayote. Or "Chayo-teh".- Ah!
0:25:30 > 0:25:34And it's a pointless answer, so very well done if you said that at home.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- Then...- Ah.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39This is, it's like,
0:25:39 > 0:25:41it's basically a cauliflower designed by someone
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- who illustrates children's stories. - Yes.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46It's called romanesque, or something.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50- Romanesco.- Romanesco. - Very well done, two points for that.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Bottom row?
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- Nope.- Breadfruit, and that's a pointless answer as well,
0:25:55 > 0:25:56so very well done if you said that.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- Then... - Children's favourite, broccoli.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Broccoli, tiny trees.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- Would have scored you 72. And...- Spring onions.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- That would have scored 61. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Well, we are at the end of our second round and, Alex and Mark,
0:26:11 > 0:26:12it has come to pass.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15I'm sorry. The pattern repeats.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17We have to say goodbye to you. Been great having you on the show.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Thank you so much for coming to play. Take my love back to Penrith.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- Thanks.- Thank you. - Thanks so much, Alex and Mark.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Congratulations, John and Andrina, Tahir and Haluk,
0:26:36 > 0:26:38you are now one step closer to the final
0:26:38 > 0:26:40and a chance to play for the jackpot,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43which currently stands at...
0:26:47 > 0:26:49We are in the head-to-head, which is splendid news,
0:26:49 > 0:26:52because it means from here on in, you're allowed to chat
0:26:52 > 0:26:55before you give your answers, and the first pair to win two questions
0:26:55 > 0:26:57will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Well, two brand-new pairs here, brand-new to the show,
0:26:59 > 0:27:01no-one's been in the head-to-head before,
0:27:01 > 0:27:04but we've had some really good answers from each of you.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Nice low scores, so, yes,
0:27:06 > 0:27:08this I think is going to be very hard to call.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:15 > 0:27:21Here is your first question and it is all about birthdays.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23- Richard.- We're going to give you five clues now
0:27:23 > 0:27:26to facts about birthdays. Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five birthday facts,
0:27:29 > 0:27:30and here they come.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31We have got...
0:27:54 > 0:27:55I'll read those all again...
0:28:16 > 0:28:18John and Andrina, you are the low scorers,
0:28:18 > 0:28:20so you will go first.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Was it called Happy Birthday, do you think?
0:28:27 > 0:28:29We'll go for the song written by Mildred and Patty Hill,
0:28:29 > 0:28:32and we'll go for Happy Birthday.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Happy Birthday, say John and Andrina.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Now, Tahir and Haluk,
0:28:36 > 0:28:38do you feel like that talking us through that board?
0:28:38 > 0:28:41- I wish we could.- To be honest, no.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45We're going to take a shot in the dark.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50The 2005 130,000lb birthday cake
0:28:50 > 0:28:54was created to celebrate the US city's centenary,
0:28:54 > 0:28:56- we're going to say San Francisco. - San Francisco.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00So, we have Happy Birthday To You, and we have San Francisco.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02John and Andrina went for Happy Birthday
0:29:02 > 0:29:05for the song by Patty and Mildred Hill.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:29:11 > 0:29:12It's right.
0:29:17 > 0:29:1829.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Did you know that, or was that just a clever guess?
0:29:21 > 0:29:23- It was a clever guess, I would say. - Given the category.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25I kind of worked it out.
0:29:25 > 0:29:26There we go.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30I can't help thinking Good Morning To All would be quite a dull song.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Anyway, there we are!
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Now then, Tahir and Haluk have gone for San Francisco.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36A bit of a shot in the dark. Would be brilliant if it's right.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Let's see if it is. How many of our 100 people said it?
0:29:42 > 0:29:44No. Bad luck.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48Not San Francisco, which means, John and Andrina, after one question,
0:29:48 > 0:29:50- you're up 1-0.- Yeah, they were schoolteachers, the Hills.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52At least one of them was a schoolteacher.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55So, Good Morning To All was the song they sung to their kids.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- Aw!- San Francisco was founded in the 1770s,
0:29:57 > 0:30:01so we're looking for a much more modern US city,
0:30:01 > 0:30:03and it's Las Vegas.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05And that would have scored nothing at all.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Would have been a pointless answer. Well done if you said that at home.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- We were on the right coast. - You were on the right coast!
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Right, OK, you can have a point!
0:30:12 > 0:30:14The author who coined the word "unbirthday"...?
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- Lewis Carroll.- Is Lewis Carroll.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Queen Elizabeth's actual birthday?
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- April, I think. - It is, April, the 21st.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24So, April is the answer there.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27And thoroughbred horses have their birthday on the 1st of January.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31And that would have scored you 15, which is annoying for all of them,
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- cos they've all got hangovers. - Yeah! Aw, yeah.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Thank you very much, Richard. So, here comes your second question.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Tahir and Haluk, you get to answer it first,
0:30:39 > 0:30:40but you have to win it to stay in the game,
0:30:40 > 0:30:42so a little bit of pressure on you there.
0:30:42 > 0:30:47Our second question today is all about "Young" People.
0:30:47 > 0:30:48- Yay!- Richard?
0:30:48 > 0:30:50We're going to show you five pictures now
0:30:50 > 0:30:51of people with the surname Young.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Can you tell us the most obscure first name, please?
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our Youngs.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57And here they are.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29There we are. Five Youngs.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32Tahir and Haluk, you will go first.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35- OK.- Are we going to do that one?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38I say yeah. No, no, that is a great shout.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40OK. Go for it.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42All right, we're going to go for E,
0:31:42 > 0:31:45and we're going to say Brigham Young.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46Brigham Young.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51John and Andrina, do you want to talk us through the other Youngs?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53OK. C? We'll go for C.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56If the guys have got that right, then that's probably unbeatable,
0:31:56 > 0:32:00- I would think.- Yeah!- So, we are going to go for D, Kirsty Young.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01D, Kirsty Young.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04So, we have Brigham Young and we have Kirsty Young.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Tahir and Haluk said Brigham Young for E.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Let's see if that's right, how many of out 100 people said that.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15It's right. It is Brigham Young.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20That is a fantastic answer!
0:32:23 > 0:32:24Four for Brigham Young.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29Meanwhile, John and Andrina have gone for Kirsty Young for D.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33Let's see if that's right. How many of our 100 people said Kirsty Young?
0:32:36 > 0:32:37It's right.
0:32:43 > 0:32:4640 for Kirsty Young. Very well done indeed, Tahir and Haluk.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Great low score there. That's exactly what you needed.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51You're back in the game. After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Yeah, you suspected it was unbeatable and it was.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55The best answer up there. Very well done.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57The second leader of the Mormon Church.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Anyone who's seen The Book Of Mormon will know Brigham Young.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- A is...- Will.- Will Young.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06He would have scored you 75.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09B, I'm sure you all know.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11- Toby Young.- Would have scored you...
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- And C?- Paul.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17The brilliant Paul Young,
0:33:17 > 0:33:19and he would have scored you 53.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So, here comes your third question.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Whoever wins this one goes through to that final
0:33:24 > 0:33:27and plays for the jackpot, so very best of luck to both pairs.
0:33:27 > 0:33:32Our third question is all about Sketch Shows.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33Sketch Shows, Richard.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36We're going to show you the titles of five British TV sketch shows,
0:33:36 > 0:33:38but we're only including the first and last letters
0:33:38 > 0:33:41of each word of the title. Can you tell us the most obscure of these?
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- Very best of luck to both teams. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Let's reveal our five sketch shows and here they are.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10I'll read those again...
0:34:25 > 0:34:27There we are. John and Andrina will go first.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Oh, my God!
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- I can't think of any of them, can you?- No.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35I think we'll go for the third one down,
0:34:35 > 0:34:39which we think is That Was The Week That Was.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41That Was The Week That Was.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- That Was The Week That Was. - OK, Tahir and Haluk,
0:34:44 > 0:34:45what would you like to go for?
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Do you want to talk us through that board?
0:34:47 > 0:34:50So, the top one, it looks like Glorious Glorious Me.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Erm, not sure of the second one.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55The fourth one down, it looks like Smack The Pony.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57And the bottom one is Little Britain.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59We might as well just go for the top one and just...
0:34:59 > 0:35:01- Let's do it.- It's the oldest one.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04- OK, yeah.- Glorious Glorious Me, for the top one.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Glorious Glorious Me.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08OK, so we have That Was The Week That Was
0:35:08 > 0:35:10and Glorious Glorious Me.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12John and Andrina went for That Was The Week That Was.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19It's right.
0:35:22 > 0:35:2447 for That Was The Week That Was.
0:35:26 > 0:35:2747. Meanwhile,
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Tahir and Haluk have gone for Glorious Glorious Me
0:35:30 > 0:35:32for the top one. Let's see if that's right,
0:35:32 > 0:35:34how many of our 100 people said it.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39No, I'm afraid not Glorious Glorious Me.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Very well done indeed, John and Andrina.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43After three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Yeah, and that's the highest score on the board,
0:35:45 > 0:35:48That Was The Week That Was. I think, with all the letters there,
0:35:48 > 0:35:50and it's very well-known, so you threw it away, gents,
0:35:50 > 0:35:53cos the bottom two both would have seen you into the Jackpot Round.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Smack The Pony would have scored you 16 points.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Little Britain would have scored you 21 points.
0:36:01 > 0:36:02The top one, of course, is...
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- Goodness Gracious Me. - Goodness Gracious Me,
0:36:05 > 0:36:06that would have scored you 24.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- And the best answer on the board... - Peter Serafinowicz.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12The Peter Serafinowicz Show would have scored you three points.
0:36:12 > 0:36:13Thank you very much indeed.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid,
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Tahir and Haluk, it is you. I'm so sorry.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21You knew low-scoring answers there. We'll see you again next time.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23I'm sure you'll do just as well, if not one step better,
0:36:23 > 0:36:26but in the meantime, thanks very much indeed, Tahir and Haluk.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31But for John and Andrina, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Congratulations, John and Andrina,
0:36:36 > 0:36:38you've seen off all the competition
0:36:38 > 0:36:40and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- Yay!- You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:36:49 > 0:36:52and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at...
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Well, this is a very exciting jackpot to have, I think.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04- It is.- You've done incredibly well, your first appearance on the show.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07What would you like to see come up? What's going to win this for you?
0:37:07 > 0:37:10A little bit of F1, maybe, or rally, or film.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Yeah, a bit of film.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- Cooking.- Cooking, definitely cooking.
0:37:15 > 0:37:16- Food, yeah.- Foodie things.- OK, well,
0:37:16 > 0:37:19fingers crossed there's something on the board you like the look of.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Today's selection looks like this.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23We've got...
0:37:30 > 0:37:33We can either go 1950s films or boybands, what do you think?
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- Not the best categories, but... - No, shall we just go for boybands?
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- Boybands.- OK, boybands it is.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44OK, very best of luck, we're looking for any UK top 40 single
0:37:44 > 0:37:47up to the beginning of September 2016, please,
0:37:47 > 0:37:48by any of the following three acts...
0:37:58 > 0:38:00So, up to the beginning of September 2016,
0:38:00 > 0:38:02anything that has them as a named featured artist,
0:38:02 > 0:38:05UK top 40 singles. Very best of luck.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06Thanks very much indeed.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08As always, you've got up to one minute to come up
0:38:08 > 0:38:11with three answers, and all you need to win that jackpot
0:38:11 > 0:38:13is for just one of your answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18There they are, your time starts now.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22Beastie Boys. They did a duet with Aerosmith, didn't they?
0:38:22 > 0:38:24No. I don't think they did.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26- That was somebody else. - Oh. Boyzone, Boyzone.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31Come on, think of some. Just say, pick some random names, I think.
0:38:32 > 0:38:33Song titles.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Boyz II Men...
0:38:38 > 0:38:42- Maybe we should change category! - Yeah, Beastie Boys.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44- Beastie Boys.- I don't know. New York.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Oh... My mind's gone completely blank.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Boyzone, Boyzone. Come on, come on! We've got 26 seconds.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55I know, we have, haven't we?
0:38:55 > 0:38:57You Lift Me Up, is that one?
0:38:57 > 0:38:58- Ooh, yes. Isn't that one?- Probably.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02- You Raise Me Up.- That's not going to be pointless, though, is it?
0:39:02 > 0:39:04No, I know, but...
0:39:04 > 0:39:06You Raise Me Up.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09- Field Of Love. - Ten seconds left.- Yes, OK.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Yes, we're going to have to say some random...
0:39:14 > 0:39:17I can see the Beastie Boys and I can see them dancing.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21- Yeah...- OK, that, I'm afraid, is your minute up, I'm so sorry.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- Not an ideal category for you, I think, this one, is it?- No.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Let's have three answers from you.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29If you say which categories you're answering in, that'd be great.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31- You Lift Me Up, Boyzone. - You Lift Me Up.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33- Loved Up, Boyzone. - Loved Up, Boyzone.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37And I can hear the Beastie Boys song in my head,
0:39:37 > 0:39:39but I can't think of it.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41I can too, but I don't know what it's called,
0:39:41 > 0:39:44- so we'll just have to say... - Hit It.- Hit It for the Beastie Boys.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46OK. Which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:46 > 0:39:49- You Raise Me Up.- You Raise Me Up. Lift Me Up was the answer you gave,
0:39:49 > 0:39:52so we'll put that last.
0:39:52 > 0:39:53Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:53 > 0:39:56I can't remember what I said, but I think it was Loved Up or something.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Loved Up, OK, Loved Up and then Hit It can go in the middle.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01- Yes!- Lovely.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Let's put those up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05We have got...
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- Good luck.- Thank you.- I'll need it!
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Listen, there's a massive jackpot there, who knows?
0:40:15 > 0:40:19Who knows what might happen, and if you happen to win £6,250,
0:40:19 > 0:40:22what would you like to do with it? John, I'm going to ask you first.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24I think we'd go on a nice holiday somewhere,
0:40:24 > 0:40:26take the kids on a nice holiday somewhere.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Very nice. Andrina, anything you want to add to that?
0:40:28 > 0:40:31No, just same as that, we'd go somewhere nice, far flung.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Very good. OK, well, your first answer was Loved Up.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36In this case, we were looking for songs by Boyzone.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Let's see how many of 100 people said Loved Up.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41It has to be right, then it has to be pointless,
0:40:41 > 0:40:44but if it's both of those things, it wins you £6,250.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45How many people said Loved Up?
0:40:49 > 0:40:51No, not Loved Up, I'm afraid!
0:40:51 > 0:40:53So, we move to Hit It.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56In this case, we're looking for Beastie Boys UK top 40 singles.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58How many of our 100 people said Hit It?
0:40:58 > 0:41:02It'll win you £6,250 and a lot more if it's pointless.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Yes. I'm afraid we now move on to your third and final answer,
0:41:09 > 0:41:11which was You Lift Me Up.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14We're back on Boyzone now, UK top 40 singles, is it right,
0:41:14 > 0:41:18is it pointless? If it's both of those things, it wins you £6,250,
0:41:18 > 0:41:20You Lift Me Up.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- No!- Ah!- I'm sorry, there we are.
0:41:25 > 0:41:26It was a game attempt.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31And you made up two perfectly convincing songs there,
