0:00:19 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:23 > 0:00:25and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:26the show where obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:26 > 0:00:28and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And couple number one...
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hello, my name's Harvey, I'm from the Isle of Wight,
0:00:38 > 0:00:40and this is my good friend Adam, who is from Stoke-on-Trent.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- Couple number two!- Hi, I'm Liv, I'm from London,
0:00:43 > 0:00:45and this is my friend Tori, and she lives in Reading.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- Couple number three! - Hello, I'm Julie.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50I am from Lincolnshire and I'm here today with my daughter Amy.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51She's from Newark.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57My name is John and I'm here with my son Tom, and we're from Cheshire.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01APPLAUSE
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Thanks very much, all of you. A very warm welcome to Pointless. Great to have you with us.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08We'll get a chance to chat to each of you throughout 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 > 0:01:14He's a lean, mean, flag-recognising machine, it's my Pointless friend -
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Hi, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Hello to you, sir.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22- Hello.- Are you well?
0:01:22 > 0:01:23I'm very well, thank you.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Excellent. Now, only one returning pair from last time, Amy and Julie.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Got knocked out in Round One as well.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- I know!- But they've since made us a cake, so all is well.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34You made us the cake?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- Yes.- Oh, thank you, and lemon drizzle as well!
0:01:37 > 0:01:38I know, my favourite.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Mmm.- Mmm, mmm, mmm! I haven't had mine yet.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43It is under lock and key.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Because you have to over here.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48- You certainly do.- But this jackpot, let's talk about it.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- Yes.- It was £8,250 last show,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53and Roly and Duggan got through to the final -
0:01:53 > 0:01:56you remember Roly and Duggan - they're very cool, supercool,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58up from Newcastle.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02And Duggan was a drummer in a band, a very cool indie band,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04and their final category was B*Witched singles...
0:02:06 > 0:02:09And I'm not giving too much away when I say it did not go well,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12did it? So that jackpot, it's...
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- It's grown. - It's pretty big now, right?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Yeah.- Be quite a handy show to win, this one.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18It would. Thank you, Richard.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22And now, Roly and Duggan, as you've gathered, didn't win the jackpot last time.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25That means we add another £1,000 to it, so today's jackpot starts off -
0:02:25 > 0:02:28starts off - at £9,250.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30APPLAUSE You see?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39OK, all you have to remember is this -
0:02:39 > 0:02:42the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:42 > 0:02:44will be eliminated. That is all.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46The very best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Our first category today is...
0:02:49 > 0:02:51..Film and Television.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04OK - Amy forcing Julie out the way there!
0:03:04 > 0:03:06So our question concerns...
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Film & TV Duos.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Richard?- Yeah, we're about to show you a series of pictures
0:03:14 > 0:03:16of famous film or TV duos. We're looking for the name
0:03:16 > 0:03:19of any one of the characters you're about to see up here, please.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23So just one of these TV duos - the character, we're looking for.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Excellent, so the image is going to go up and it's going to stay up
0:03:26 > 0:03:27for the entirety of the round.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29We won't be changing halfway through.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31We just need the name of an individual, not the pair.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34I'm saying that for my own benefit! Here is the image.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35We have got...
0:03:38 > 0:03:41OK, so there they are, as pairs.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Now, watch this...
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Look at that.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Wow.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49There they are as individuals,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52and we are looking for the names of any of the characters.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Now, Harvey.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- Harvey, welcome, it's good to have you here.- Thank you very much.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- What do you do, Harvey?- I currently work in health care PR.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Health care PR?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- Indeed.- OK.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Is that something you are intending to do forever and ever and ever?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Or is it something you're doing - because I happen to know
0:04:08 > 0:04:10you have just graduated in zoology.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14I have, yes, and animals are my first love - I absolutely love them.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17But it is a job that gets me to London,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19it's fun, it's some experience.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- I'm enjoying it so far.- No, that's great - health care PR, it is fun.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25It is a good thing. And zoology is something you can have for fun.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Yeah, exactly.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Perfect! You can be knowledgeable, as you walk around wildlife parks -
0:04:30 > 0:04:31it's a brilliant thing, Harvey.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Now, what would you like to go for,
0:04:33 > 0:04:35who would you like to go for, on our board?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38We just need the name of one of
0:04:38 > 0:04:40these characters from duos.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I'm going to go with Jesse Pinkman.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44Jesse Pinkman, says Harvey.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jesse Pinkman.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56I fancy that is going to be a low score, Harvey.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Look at that, very well done indeed.
0:04:57 > 0:04:5812, great start to the round.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Very well done.
0:05:00 > 0:05:0112 for Jesse Pinkman.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Well played, Harvey.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07There he is, from Breaking Bad of course, played by Aaron Paul.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09There we are. Thank you, Richard.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Tori, welcome to Pointless, good to have you here.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- What do you do, Tori? - I'm a general manager of a bar.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Oh, no, that's fun. That's fun.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- Where is your bar?- In Reading.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20In Reading. I mean, a bar I suppose is a bar,
0:05:20 > 0:05:23but what is special about your bar, Tori?
0:05:23 > 0:05:25We do quite a lot of cocktails.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27This is good. Are you a mixologist?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- A little bit.- Yeah?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31That's good. What's the most exotic cocktail you make?
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Erm, oh, that's a good question.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37We do one called Strawberry Passion, which has got, like,
0:05:37 > 0:05:41fresh strawberries and passion fruit liqueurs, and lots of other things,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- that's really nice.- Here's a good thing to know,
0:05:43 > 0:05:45what's the quickest cocktail to order?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Erm, I think it just depends on the bartender.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Ah, I suppose. Because sometimes, I mean, I always find
0:05:50 > 0:05:53when people are making cocktails, quite a long wait at the bar.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54See, it can be, it can be.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57But not at your bar, of this I'm quite sure.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Tori, who would you like to go for on our board here?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I'm going to go for Hooch.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Hooch, you say, appropriately enough, for the bar and all that.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Let's see how many of our 100 people said Hooch...
0:06:13 > 0:06:15There we are. Well, 12 for Jesse Pinkman.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Hooch, scoring 47 there.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19APPLAUSE
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Yeah, there he is, a French mastiff, played by Beasley the Dog.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27And that was his only ever film, Beasley the Dog.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Never made another movie.- Really?
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Amazing, isn't it?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33But, you know, won the Oscar, so, you know, one film and out.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Beat Marlon Brando that year, didn't he?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Amy, welcome back.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Thank you.- Now, Round One last time, Amy - Round One.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43We'll hear no more of this.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Yes.- Remind us what you do, Amy.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46I work for a wildlife charity.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Brilliant. What are your interests, Amy?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Well, I'm a bit of a wildlife geek, really.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53I like wildlife photography in my spare time, so I'm outdoors all the time.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Does that involve getting up very, very early in the morning sometimes?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58It can do, but I'm a little bit lazy, I've got to admit.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I'm not always up as early as I should be.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Do you ever go and look for rare birds, for example?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04I do. I wouldn't call myself a twitcher,
0:07:04 > 0:07:05but if there's something nearby...
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Have you been to Dungeness?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- No.- I only ask because it's one of those names that always crops up.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13It's where rare birds sort of fly in, don't they, into Dungeness?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16People go and see very exciting things,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18lesser warbling something or others.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Amy, what would you like to go for on our board here?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24We just need the name of one
0:07:24 > 0:07:25of these characters.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I think I'll go for Walter White.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Walter White, says Amy.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32It completes the set. Let's see how many of our 100 people
0:07:32 > 0:07:33said Walter White.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39It's right. 47 is the high score,
0:07:39 > 0:07:40which we pass.
0:07:40 > 0:07:4212 is the low,
0:07:42 > 0:07:43which we join.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44That's nice!
0:07:44 > 0:07:46APPLAUSE
0:07:47 > 0:07:49There we are.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Well played, Amy. Of course, also from Breaking Bad,
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Bryan Cranston there. It's nice that they scored the same.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Isn't that nice?- 12 and 12.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58If you see either Aaron or Bryan,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01let them know they scored the same and that'll be a...
0:08:01 > 0:08:04No, but they're actors, so they'll both be annoyed at that.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07They'll both kind of go, "No, it's really important...
0:08:07 > 0:08:09"The whole thing was very collaborative,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12"and I loved working with Aaron," but he'll be thinking,
0:08:12 > 0:08:13"Ah, I wish I'd got, like, 15."
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- Yeah.- Because he's still thinking he's the star.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Bryan Cranston will be punching the wall, watching this.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Then someone from a paper will turn up and he goes, "Oh, no, I saw it,
0:08:21 > 0:08:24"I thought it was amazing, we got the same score, I'm so happy."
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Bandaging up his hands, like that.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Actors!- Yeah.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- You know?- Yeah.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36- John, welcome.- Thank you.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Good to have you here from Cheshire.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Yes, indeed. - Now, John, what do you do?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I retired, but spend most time outdoors,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I guess gardening, fishing, golf.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50I would say John is an advert for retirement, isn't he?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53He's the proper, that's a professional retired gentleman.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Yes, I think so.- That's how I want to look when I retire.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Excellent.- You look, if I say weathered, I mean,
0:08:59 > 0:09:00what I mean is sort of bronzed.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05Bronzed, but not overtly bronzed but, you know, he's in, he's...
0:09:05 > 0:09:06- Yeah, OK.- Keep going.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11He does a bit of fishing, bit of golf, bit of gardening.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, listen, I hear you.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Yeah, that's good, that's good.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- Do you sail, John? - No, I don't sail, no.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- Nope, no sailing. - I think, I tell you,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20you'd look good in a cap'n's hat.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Well, I could get a captain's hat.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Yeah, I just think that's, you know...
0:09:29 > 0:09:31There we are!
0:09:31 > 0:09:34John, this board is not all yours, I'm afraid.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35I was about to say it was, it's not.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Yes, so we just need an individual, remember, from these duos.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Well, the three answers that have so far gone I didn't know,
0:09:41 > 0:09:42so that's an advantage, I suppose.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45So I'm going to go for something which is not quite so rare,
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Barney Rubble.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Barney Rubble, says John.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Let's see how many of our 100 people said Barney Rubble.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56It's right. Well, 47 was our highest score.
0:09:56 > 0:09:5966 is now our high score.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Unexpectedly high there for Barney Rubble.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Yeah, it was voiced by Mel Blanc, Barney Rubble.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05You know, he did Bugs Bunny and, you know,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07the most famous kind of voice-over artist of all.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Thank you very much, Richard. Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Let's take a look at those scores. 12, the best score of the pass.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Amy, Harvey, very well done indeed.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Amy and Julie, I think you'll see Round Two, I'm pretty sure,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20on the strength of that. And Harvey and Adam, very well done.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Then up to 47, where we find Tori and Liv, then John and Tom,
0:10:23 > 0:10:25a little bit out in front there so, Tom,
0:10:25 > 0:10:26we need a nice low score from you.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37So, Tom, remember, we're looking for the name of any individual character
0:10:37 > 0:10:39from these famous film and TV duos.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Welcome to Pointless, Tom.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- Thank you.- What do you do, Tom?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- I'm a police officer.- Are you?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- Whereabouts?- In Manchester.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49In Manchester? A very nice... Nice police officer.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52If you were hauled in, in the interrogation room,
0:10:52 > 0:10:54and Tom walked in you'd think, "Ah, that's nice!"
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I don't think you would. Well, it depends if you're guilty.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59I think if you are innocent you'd think, "That's nice."
0:10:59 > 0:11:02If you were guilty, you'd think, "Oh, man."
0:11:02 > 0:11:04You can't look that nice and not be tough.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06You know full well he's going to get you.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07He's like Columbo.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12And how is that, Tom, up in Manchester?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14How long have you been on the force there?
0:11:14 > 0:11:1613 years. Yeah, they keep us busy.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- And are you a...- I'm a detective.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23It's turning into a Mark Billingham novel, look at that!
0:11:23 > 0:11:24A detective!
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Now, Tom, you are the high scorers -
0:11:26 > 0:11:28we need a low score from you here.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Yeah, I don't know the first name, but I'm going to go with Waldorf.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35OK, Waldorf, says Tom.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Let's see how many of our 100 people said Waldorf.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Let's find out if Waldorf is acceptable...
0:11:42 > 0:11:43It is acceptable.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49There we are, down to 11,
0:11:49 > 0:11:51that's the lowest score of the round so far.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Very well done indeed, Tom. That takes your total up to 77.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Yeah, very well played.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58It's one of those ones where you feel lucky you don't have to guess
0:11:58 > 0:12:00exactly which one it is, but it's that one.
0:12:00 > 0:12:0211 points. His wife is called Astoria.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- She is.- That's nice.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07It'd be a great girl's name, Astoria.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08But it's true, yeah.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Yeah, thank you very much, Richard.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13And now Julie. Julie, we have a target for you now.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Remind us what you do, Julie.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17I'm a B&B landlady.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19A B&B landlady. And is that, I mean,
0:12:19 > 0:12:22how much of the year do you have people staying with you?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Well, it's open all year round.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25We do get people ringing at Christmas,
0:12:25 > 0:12:28but I tend to try and avoid having people round about Christmas Day
0:12:28 > 0:12:31and the important days, but it's busiest in summer.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33It must be hard to say no, if somebody's writing and you think,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36"Oh, we'll have a nice holiday," and then just when you think
0:12:36 > 0:12:39you're going to have a holiday, somebody books in for three days in the middle of the week.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Yeah, but at least we know, they book in advance so, you know, we can plan ahead.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Well, that's nice, but you must get to meet some fantastic people, interesting?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- We do, yeah.- And probably quite a lot of dull people as well.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51But I don't know, but I mean, it's always, always fascinating anyway.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Now, Julie, there you are on 12.
0:12:53 > 0:12:5664 or less is your target.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58We just need the name of one
0:12:58 > 0:13:00of these characters.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Well, I'm hoping it'll be good enough.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03I'm going to go for Statler.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Statler, says Julie.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Here is your red line. You'll get a red line,
0:13:07 > 0:13:09and that's what it looks like.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11If you get below that, you're through to round two.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15It's right.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Through you go.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Well, it was 11 for Waldorf.
0:13:19 > 0:13:2111 for Statler too.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Look at that. Perfect.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25One lower than Amy's score in the first pass,
0:13:25 > 0:13:26taking your total up to 23.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- Very good.- They got matching scores as well,
0:13:28 > 0:13:29that's nice, isn't it?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32They're puppets, so it's sort of less of an issue, I would imagine.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Yeah, they're not going to worry too much.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35He was named after the Statler hotel,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37which is now a Hotel Pennsylvania.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Doesn't exist any more.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Thank you, Richard. Now, Liv, welcome to Pointless.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- Hi!- Well, good. That's a nice hi.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- That's a nice hi.- That is nice.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Very nice. Liv, what do you do?
0:13:48 > 0:13:49I'm an events director.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52What sort of events do you do, conferences and things like that?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Yes, yeah.- I happen to know how difficult that is.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57You have to turn up at about four in the morning, don't you?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Yes.- And you work solidly right through the day, till about...
0:14:00 > 0:14:02three in the morning the next day.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Yes.- Meanwhile having to field all sorts of slightly gruff exchanges
0:14:05 > 0:14:08with various people, at different levels of various businesses.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Yes, very much so, and you get to wear a headset, though,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- which I quite enjoy.- Exactly. It does allow you to dance,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16which is nice, while giving orders to people. Now then, Liv,
0:14:16 > 0:14:1847 is your score.
0:14:18 > 0:14:2077 is the high score, so a score
0:14:20 > 0:14:21of 29 or less is what
0:14:21 > 0:14:23we're looking for.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24So I know all the high ones,
0:14:24 > 0:14:27and I knew Statler and Waldorf.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29I'm going to say Hans.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Hans?
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Hansel.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Oh.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40OK, Liv is saying Hans.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42There is your red line, Liv.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44That's what we have to get below.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Let's see what happens when we say Hans.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Oh, Liv, I'm sorry!
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I'm sorry. It's good news for Tom and John over there
0:14:55 > 0:14:57on the far podium.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00I'm afraid it scores you 100 points and takes your total up to 147.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Sorry, Liv. I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the pass.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Thank you very much indeed.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- Now, Adam, welcome.- Hi. - Welcome to Pointless.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Good to have you here. What do you do, Adam?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I'm a PhD student at the moment.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- Whereabouts are you doing that? - In York.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14In York, and what are you studying?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Biology. Insects, that kind of thing.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Insects.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Did you specialise? You decided that PhDs, I'm going to look at insects?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23I've sort of recently changed.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26So it's the methods I'm good at, not the animals.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27I see, I see.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- So you've gone through a metamorphosis yourself?- Yeah!
0:15:30 > 0:15:32And come out as an insect studier, which is good.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34How long is the PhD going to be, by the way?
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- Three and a half years. - That's quite a long time.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38But that's nice being in York, though.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- Exactly, yeah.- Lovely, very good.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Now, Adam, you're through to the next round, which is great news.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- Ah!- Doesn't matter what you score.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46Dazzle us now, though,
0:15:46 > 0:15:47with your knowledge
0:15:47 > 0:15:48of the remaining characters.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49OK, I don't know the first two.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I know it's Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller,
0:15:51 > 0:15:54but I don't know what they could possibly do.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Erm, R2-D2 and C-3PO.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Turner and Hooch.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03That's probably Dr Spock and someone he works with.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- Someone from work!- Yeah.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Obviously Fred Flintstone,
0:16:10 > 0:16:12and Batman and Robin.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I'll go for R2-D2.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16R2-D2, says Adam.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17It doesn't matter what you score, as I said,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19and there's no red line for you.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Let's see how many of our 100 people said R2-D2.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25It's right.
0:16:26 > 0:16:2970. Takes your total up to 82.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30But you're through.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Let's go through the rest of these, shall we?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Liv, I'll give you another chance, because I think
0:16:35 > 0:16:38you realised your mistake straightaway. On the top left?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- Hansel.- Hansel, yeah, absolutely, played by Owen Wilson.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- And it's the best answer on the board as well.- Oh!
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- Oh, no, Liv!- It would have scored you four points.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48It would have been a terrific answer, I'm very sorry.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Obviously, from the Zoolander Movie, and next to him it is Zoolander,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Derek Zoolander. He would have scored you 16 points.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Now, R2-D2 scored 70.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Next to him, C-3PO -
0:16:59 > 0:17:0154.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03That is a disaster.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I know. And if you think he's going to be mad, imagine being Tom Hanks.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Hooch scored 47,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Turner scored 39.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Massively outscored by Beasley.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Wow.- Now, it's interesting to say that's Spock
0:17:17 > 0:17:20and someone he works with,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22because A, you're right,
0:17:22 > 0:17:24but Spock scored 71,
0:17:24 > 0:17:28and the other guy from the office is Captain Kirk, he scored 63.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29- Oh.- There you go.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34So at least eight people just thought that was some guy who Spock works with.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Fred Flintstone beats Barney Rubble, perhaps unsurprisingly - 76.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Here's your biggest scorer. Batman with 89,
0:17:40 > 0:17:42and those five people going,
0:17:42 > 0:17:45"Well, that's Batman, but...
0:17:45 > 0:17:47"I don't know who the other guy is."
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Because Robin would have scored you 84.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Thank you, Richard. Well, we are at the end of our first round.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56We have to say goodbye to one of our pairs, and I'm so sorry,
0:17:56 > 0:17:59oh, Liv, you were on course to be our second lowest scorers there.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01You were just one syllable away.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04I'm so sorry. Anyway, it bodes very well for next time.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05We're looking forward to that already.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- Oh, thank you.- We'll see you then.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10But thanks very much for playing, Liv and Tori!
0:18:10 > 0:18:12APPLAUSE
0:18:13 > 0:18:16But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22And so three pairs remain,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25and at the end of this round obviously we will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Well, Harvey and Adam started very nicely there, lovely low scores from you.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33But actually, Julie and Tom were our joint low individual scorers,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36with 11, and Amy and Julie our lowest pair,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38so very well done to you.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Our category for Round Two today is...
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Modern Novels. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:45 > 0:18:46who's going to go second?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:56 > 0:18:57Book Series.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- Book Series, Richard.- Yeah, on each board we're going to show you
0:19:01 > 0:19:04the second and third books published in particular book series.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06We just need in each case the name of the first book
0:19:06 > 0:19:08published in that series, please.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10It's going to be six on the first board, six on the second -
0:19:10 > 0:19:1112 in all to have a go at at home.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15So we're looking for the first book in these series,
0:19:15 > 0:19:17and here is our first board.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18We've got...
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I'll read those all again.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54There we are, Adam.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I think we've had easier rounds on Pointless.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Yeah. I know a couple of them,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02but I don't know which will be lowest.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Again, I was rubbish at that.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I'm going to go for the top one,
0:20:07 > 0:20:08and say Twilight.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Twilight, says Adam.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Let's see how many of our 100 people said Twilight.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Not bad at all, 31, good start.
0:20:23 > 0:20:2431 for Twilight.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Yeah, a nice start to the round.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Of course, hugely selling books, films,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30written by Stephanie Meyer or Stephanie "May"-er,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33depending on which is the way people tell me to pronounce it
0:20:33 > 0:20:34every time I do it wrong.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Thank you, Richard. Now, Amy.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40Amy.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42How do you like the board?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Not too bad, there's one that I think I know
0:20:45 > 0:20:46but I don't want to risk it.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- Oh, I bet you do.- Just in case. - I bet you do now.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53No. So, I'm going to go for Insurgent and Allegiant
0:20:53 > 0:20:55which I think is Divergent.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Divergent, says Amy.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Let's see how many of our 100 people said Divergent.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05It is right, well, 31 is the only score we have at the moment.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07And you pass it, look at that,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09down to 22 for Divergent.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Very well done, indeed, Amy.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12APPLAUSE
0:21:14 > 0:21:15Yeah, by Veronica Roth.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I have not read them.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19They sound diverting.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21They are weird titles, aren't they?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- A little bit, yeah.- I don't think I'd read a book called Allegiant.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26There we are. Thank you, Richard.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Now, then, John.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30That board is all yours.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35- Thank you.- Please feel free to give us all the answers you know.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38I read a lot of books, but I have certainly not read any of those.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41The only one I can guess on is Fifty Shades of Grey.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44OK, Fifty Shades of Grey.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52It's right.
0:21:52 > 0:21:5578, quite a high one, there.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59I would have loved to have known the, sort of,
0:21:59 > 0:22:02million little computations you have to make in your head before you go,
0:22:02 > 0:22:06"Oh, I really am going to have to say Fifty Shades of Grey, aren't I?"
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Just thinking, "Can I... Should I do... Can I take that risk?"
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- Oh.- Yeah.- So, the second one down,
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- guessable, I think. - 2001: A Space Odyssey.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- 2001:- A Space Odyssey.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Yeah, that would have scored you 26.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21The Light Fantastic and Equal Rites are the follow-ups
0:22:21 > 0:22:23to Terry Pratchett's The Colour of Magic.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25First three Discworld novels.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Tears of the Giraffe and Morality for Beautiful Girls
0:22:27 > 0:22:30are the follow-ups to Alexander McCall Smith's
0:22:30 > 0:22:32The No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- Ah yes, of course. Yes.- That would have scored four points,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37so The Colour of Magic and the Detective Agency are the best answers up there.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39There we are. Well, we are halfway through the round,
0:22:39 > 0:22:41let's take a quick look at those scores.
0:22:41 > 0:22:4322 is where we find Amy and Julie,
0:22:43 > 0:22:4531 where we find Adam and Harvey,
0:22:45 > 0:22:4778 so for now, John and Tom,
0:22:47 > 0:22:49the high scorers. We were in this position last round,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51but it all turned around in the next pass.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Can that happen again?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Good luck with that, Tom. We are going to come back down the line
0:22:55 > 0:22:57now, can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02OK, we are going to put six more book title sequences
0:23:02 > 0:23:04up on the board, and here they are.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07We have got...
0:23:23 > 0:23:25I'll read those all again.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Tom.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Yes, I know a couple.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Just a matter of which one to choose.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Yeah.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Um, I think I'm going to go for
0:23:49 > 0:23:51The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, says Tom.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56No red line, I'm afraid, as you're the high scorers.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59But let's see how far down the column we get with Hitchhiker's Guide.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03It's right.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Look at that, not bad at all, Tom,
0:24:07 > 0:24:08well done. 24.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Taking your total up to 102.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Yeah, well played, originally a trilogy
0:24:14 > 0:24:17and then it became a trilogy of four, and a trilogy of five.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Thanks very much indeed. Now, Julie.
0:24:21 > 0:24:2422 - 79 or less gets you through.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Well, I'm guessing the second one down
0:24:28 > 0:24:30is The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, says Julie.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34You are getting a nod from Amy, which I think is a good sign.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37There is your red line, nice and high.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Let's see if you can get below that, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44It's right.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Through you go to the head-to-head.
0:24:47 > 0:24:4940, not bad at all, 62 is your total.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Very well played, and again such an interesting example
0:24:54 > 0:24:56of the fact that people in publishing will always tell you,
0:24:56 > 0:24:58no-one ever really knows anything,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00because this is a book by a Swedish author, it's very dense as well,
0:25:00 > 0:25:03sold millions upon millions upon millions of copies worldwide.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06- Who knew?- Who knew?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Who knew? Thank you very much indeed.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- Now, Harvey.- Hello.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Harvey on 31, which means 70 is your target.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Do you want to talk us through this board?
0:25:15 > 0:25:19I think The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, is Red Dragon.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Clash of Kings and A Storm of Swords is A Game of Thrones.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Catching Fire and Mockingjay is Hunger Games.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27And I believe The Drawing of the Three and The Wastelands
0:25:27 > 0:25:29might be The Gunslinger, I think that's Stephen King.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31But that's a bit of a risk.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34I'm going to go with Red Dragon.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Red Dragon, says Harvey. Here's your red line.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39If you get below that, with Red Dragon,
0:25:39 > 0:25:41you are through to the head-to-head. How many people said it?
0:25:43 > 0:25:44It is Red Dragon.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47And it sees you through.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52That's a great score, very well done indeed, 11.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54APPLAUSE
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Takes your total up to 42,
0:25:56 > 0:25:58and is in fact the lowest score of the whole round,
0:25:58 > 0:26:00- so very well done, Harvey. - Well played, Harvey.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Let's see if you could have done better.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05A Game of Thrones, you are right about.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07That would have scored you 12 points.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10A very similar score. Hunger Games, you are right about as well,
0:26:10 > 0:26:13that would have scored you 26 points.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16And The Drawing of the Three, The Wastelands, yeah,
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Stephen King's Dark Tower series.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20And the first one in that series was The Gunslinger,
0:26:20 > 0:26:23and that would have been a pointless answer.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26So very well done for getting it,
0:26:26 > 0:26:27well done if you got that at home as well.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Very good indeed, Harvey.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30- Good answer.- Very good.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Well, at the end of our second round,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33we have to say goodbye to one of our pairs,
0:26:33 > 0:26:35and I'm so sorry, Tom and John, it is you.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Might you have gone for any of those other ones, John?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39I knew Red Dragon on that board.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Had it been the other way around.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42- Yeah.- Could have been a different story.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- A different story, perhaps.- Well, we'll see you again next time,
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I'm sure we'll get much, much further,
0:26:47 > 0:26:49but it's been great having you on, thank you so much, Tom and John.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51APPLAUSE
0:26:51 > 0:26:54But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Congratulations, Amy and Julie, Harvey and Adam,
0:27:01 > 0:27:03you are now one step closer to the final,
0:27:03 > 0:27:07and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands
0:27:07 > 0:27:09at £9,250.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11APPLAUSE
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Well, the good news is we've now made it to the head-to-head,
0:27:15 > 0:27:17which means you can start playing as a pair,
0:27:17 > 0:27:19you can chat before you give your answers,
0:27:19 > 0:27:21and the first pair in this round to win two questions
0:27:21 > 0:27:23will be playing for that jackpot. Amy and Julie, this is more like it.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25This is exactly what I wanted to see.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Last time, it was Round One.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28This time, through to the head-to-head
0:27:28 > 0:27:29as our low-scoring pair.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Harvey and Adam, first appearance on the show,
0:27:32 > 0:27:34and already through to the head-to-head.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Very, very strong performance,
0:27:35 > 0:27:38this is definitely going to be a close and hard-fought semifinal,
0:27:38 > 0:27:41best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Richard.- Yeah, five clues now to facts about the history of motoring.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00That is quite something. Check your blood pressure at home, OK.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Be very careful.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Just pop my driving gloves on.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Oh, that's a nice idea.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06Very nice. OK.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35I'll read those again.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Amy and Julie will go first.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59(First one is Swansea.)
0:28:59 > 0:29:01(Yeah. The other one is tarmacadam,
0:29:01 > 0:29:04(but I don't know what his surname is.)
0:29:04 > 0:29:06(Shall we go for the first one?)
0:29:06 > 0:29:08(Go on, then.)
0:29:08 > 0:29:10We'd like to go for the headquarters of the DVLA,
0:29:10 > 0:29:11which we think is Swansea.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Swansea, say Amy and Julie.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Swansea. Now then, Harvey and Adam.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Talk us through the other four clues.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22That was the only one we knew!
0:29:22 > 0:29:24The bottom one is a colour, though.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26- Red?- I don't know.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Or yellow, or green.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30- Ochre.- There's more colours.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Preceded by a man on foot...
0:29:37 > 0:29:38Let's just...
0:29:38 > 0:29:41You've been doing well, you can choose the colour.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Blue.
0:29:45 > 0:29:46That's a good noise, Adam.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Blue. Yeah. So, we have a blue flag,
0:29:49 > 0:29:51we have Swansea, and we have a blue flag.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Amy and Julie said Swansea,
0:29:53 > 0:29:55let's see how many of our 100 people said Swansea.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Swansea is right.
0:30:02 > 0:30:0462 is what you score for Swansea.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Popular answer, there.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11Harvey and Adam, I mean, so many colours to puzzle over.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13I mean, red,
0:30:13 > 0:30:15but then red in motoring means stop,
0:30:15 > 0:30:17green, I mean, it could be anything. Blue.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Let's find out. Blue is what you've gone for,
0:30:19 > 0:30:21how many of our 100 people said blue.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25No.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27Not blue, I'm afraid.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30But very well done, Amy and Julie, it means after one question,
0:30:30 > 0:30:32you are up 1-0.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Yeah, well played, this is often when I say, you know,
0:30:34 > 0:30:38you mentioned the right answer, but you mentioned virtually every colour, so...
0:30:38 > 0:30:40But you did mention it and it was red.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42A red flag.
0:30:42 > 0:30:4424 points, that would have scored you.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48The decade of the 20th century, it was first published in 1931.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50So, 1930s would have scored you 11.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54The Hampshire village, one of my favourite places in the world, this.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Beautiful place, beautiful village, and a great motor museum.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Beaulieu. Beaulieu in the New Forest.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04Would have scored you 33, and the surname of the US inventor?
0:31:04 > 0:31:06- Don't know.- You will know his tyres.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Goodyear. Charles Goodyear.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10- There we are. - Would have scored you six points.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So here comes your second question.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Harvey and Adam, you get to answer it first.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17But you have to win it to stay in the game.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20So, good luck. Our second question today is all about...
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- Richard.- Yeah, we are going to show you tabloid style headlines now,
0:31:26 > 0:31:28which explain the plots of various nursery rhymes.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32We are also going to give the initials of those nursery rhymes as well.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34- Which is the most obscure? - There we go.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37So, let's reveal our five plots and here they are.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Harvey and Adam will go first.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24I only know the really obvious ones.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Yeah. This is my mum's fault.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30We are going to have to go for C.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32- Are we?- Yeah, I think we are going to have to go for C.
0:32:32 > 0:32:33You think C?
0:32:33 > 0:32:35I think... Yeah, all right.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Hey Diddle Diddle, C.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40C, Hey Diddle Diddle, say Harvey and Adam.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Now, Amy and Julie, talk us through our headlines here.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46I think A is Little Jack Horner,
0:32:46 > 0:32:49B is Doctor Foster,
0:32:49 > 0:32:51D is Three Blind Mice
0:32:51 > 0:32:53and E is Solomon Grundy.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56I think we'll go for Solomon Grundy.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58My favourite Archers character, certainly.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Let's see, OK.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02So, we have Hey Diddle Diddle,
0:33:02 > 0:33:04let's see how many of our 100 people said that for C,
0:33:04 > 0:33:05as Harvey and Adam did.
0:33:13 > 0:33:1541, for Hey Diddle Diddle.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16APPLAUSE
0:33:17 > 0:33:21Meanwhile, Amy and Julie have gone for Solomon Grundy for E.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Let's see how many of our 100 people said Solomon Grundy.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28It's right.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34And it wins you the point, look at that, down it goes to 12.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Very well done indeed, Solomon Grundy.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39That means, Amy and Julie, after only two questions,
0:33:39 > 0:33:41you are straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Yeah, very well played. Solomon Grundy born on a Monday,
0:33:44 > 0:33:47later covered by Craig David, of course.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Let's fill in the rest of these, shall we?
0:33:50 > 0:33:53A is Little Jack Horner, you are quite right.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Would have scored too many points, would have scored you 42,
0:33:55 > 0:33:57it would have been very close.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00B, of course, is Doctor Foster.
0:34:02 > 0:34:0329 points for that.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08And Three Blind Mice is the biggest scorer, 62.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11So best answer on the board, Solomon Grundy.
0:34:11 > 0:34:12Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14And we have come to the end of our head-to-head round,
0:34:14 > 0:34:18and Harvey and Adam, a fabulous performance right the way
0:34:18 > 0:34:20through the show. But I'm afraid, yes,
0:34:20 > 0:34:22you came up against Amy and Julie in this round.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Did you know, might you have known Solomon Grundy?
0:34:25 > 0:34:26- No.- No.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28- No?- Like, now, maybe.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30- But, no.- Well, obviously now,
0:34:30 > 0:34:32because we've put the answers up on the board.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34I know an awful lot once the answers are up.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35But anyway, it's good news for us,
0:34:35 > 0:34:37it means we'll get to see you again next time.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41We look forward to that very much. Meantime, thanks so much, Harvey and Adam.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43APPLAUSE
0:34:43 > 0:34:46But for Amy and Julie, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Congratulations, Amy and Julie,
0:34:52 > 0:34:54you have fought off all the competition
0:34:54 > 0:34:56and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05APPLAUSE
0:35:05 > 0:35:06Well, yeah.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11But now, we come to the Pointless jackpot.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13You have a chance to win today's jackpot
0:35:13 > 0:35:16and it is currently standing at £9,250.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19APPLAUSE
0:35:22 > 0:35:24So this is a very, very exciting endgame
0:35:24 > 0:35:27to a very strong performance, right the way across the show,
0:35:27 > 0:35:29our lowest scorers in the first round,
0:35:29 > 0:35:322-0 in the head-to-head, no arguing with that.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36Anything you'd particularly like to see come up on this board?
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Natural history would be good, Game of Thrones.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Breeds of animals, you've been revising.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42Yeah, definitely.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- Breakfasts, beds.- Yeah!
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Well, very, very best of luck, you know what it's like,
0:35:47 > 0:35:49four things appear on the board,
0:35:49 > 0:35:51let's see what today's selection looks like.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52We have got...
0:36:01 > 0:36:03What do you think, anything jumping out for you?
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Not particularly, no.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Might have to take a bit of a punt maybe, on sugar?
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Yeah, hope for the best, see what it is.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13- OK.- Shall we go for it? - We are going to risk sugar.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15They are saying sugar.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19OK, good luck. £9,250 on this, three very, very different questions here,
0:36:19 > 0:36:21I hope one of them suits you.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23We are looking for any of the following, please.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26We are looking for any of the top 50 sugar cane producing countries
0:36:26 > 0:36:29of the world, according to the UN in June 2016.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33We are looking for any boxer fought professionally by Sugar Ray Leonard.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Or we are looking for any act who's had a UK top 40 single
0:36:36 > 0:36:40with the word "sugar" in its title, up to July 2016.
0:36:46 > 0:36:47Very, very best of luck.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50OK, now as always, you've got up to one minute to come up
0:36:50 > 0:36:52with three answers. All you need to win that jackpot
0:36:52 > 0:36:56is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- Yes.- Good, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Right. It's got to be producing countries, hasn't it?
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Well, I think the last one, I might know,
0:37:06 > 0:37:08there's Sugar Baby Love by The Rubettes, we could try that.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10- OK.- Maybe, that's one.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Sugar cane producing countries,
0:37:12 > 0:37:14think of ones in the Caribbean, maybe.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Something like Saint Kitts and Nevis.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20Barbados, I don't know.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24I'm not sure about some of the Pacific Islands.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26- Do you think they'll...?- It's got to be something obscure.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28- Sugar cane.- Yeah.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30I'm trying to think, trying to think of some more songs as well,
0:37:30 > 0:37:32while you're thinking of that.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34You think of the countries, I'll try to think of some songs.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37I'm just thinking of really obscure countries, now.
0:37:39 > 0:37:40Barbados, maybe Haiti.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46he US must produce some, but I wouldn't like to go for that one.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52I think maybe, yeah, shall we go for Kitts and Nevis?
0:37:52 > 0:37:54- OK, then.- And, what for the second one?
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Barbados?
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- Yeah, we'll have to do. We're out of time.- OK, then.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- Do you want to read them? - OK, that is your minute up.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06What would you like to go for?
0:38:06 > 0:38:09So, Saint Kitts and Nevis for top sugar cane producing countries.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12OK, so Saint Kitts and Nevis, yeah.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14I think also Barbados.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18- Barbados.- And the last one was the artist, is The Rubettes,
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- with Sugar Baby Love. - The Rubettes, for Sugar Baby Love.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Now, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:23 > 0:38:25I think maybe The Rubettes.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27OK, The Rubettes go last.
0:38:27 > 0:38:28Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Barbados, because I'm not even sure it's right.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Barbados we'll put first, and Saint Kitts and Nevis goes in the middle.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37And here they are.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Three good answers on the board there.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47If one of these turns out to be pointless and wins you that jackpot,
0:38:47 > 0:38:49you will be leaving here with £9,250.
0:38:49 > 0:38:50What would you like to do with that?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Amy, I'm going to ask you first.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Bit of an easy one for me, I broke my favourite camera lens
0:38:55 > 0:38:58while I was away last year, so got to get it fixed.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Possibly a new one as well.
0:39:00 > 0:39:01- Expensive hobby.- Yeah.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Julie, how about you?
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Absolutely it would have to be a holiday, and take all the family.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Very good indeed. Well, very best of luck.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Three good answers on the board, your first answer was Barbados.
0:39:12 > 0:39:13In this case, in fact, in the first two cases,
0:39:13 > 0:39:17we were looking for the top sugar cane producing countries.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20If Barbados is pointless, it wins you £9,250,
0:39:20 > 0:39:23let's see how many of our 100 people said Barbados.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Oh. Surprising.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Barbados not in that category, I guess.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38So we move onto your next answer, Saint Kitts and Nevis.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Again, we are looking for the top sugar cane producing countries.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Let's see how many about 100 people said Saint Kitts and Nevis.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46If this is pointless, it wins you £9,250.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50Saint Kitts and Nevis, how many people said it, is it pointless?
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Oh!
0:39:54 > 0:39:58Saint Kitts and Nevis, also not in that category.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02So we move on to your final answer which is The Rubettes.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04This was the one you had no hesitation putting last,
0:40:04 > 0:40:06you said this was your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- I'm not sure.- We were looking for any UK top 40 single
0:40:09 > 0:40:11with the word "sugar" in its title.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14If it's right, and if it's pointless, it wins you £9,250.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Rubettes. Good luck.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24It's right. Now, your first answer was Barbados, which was incorrect.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Your second answer, Saint Kitts and Nevis, was also incorrect,
0:40:27 > 0:40:29your third answer, The Rubettes, absolutely right.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Down we go, we are into single figures. Down...
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Oh, no, six for The Rubettes.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36APPLAUSE
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Oh, I'm sorry, that's disappointing.
0:40:39 > 0:40:44I really thought the Rubettes sounded like an absolute shoo-in for pointless there.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47I'm afraid six of our people named The Rubettes.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Anyway, you have done so well right the way across the show,
0:40:50 > 0:40:52and in this last round we will discover
0:40:52 > 0:40:54what the top sugar cane producing countries were.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56I'm very surprised and sorry that those two weren't in there.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59So, I'm afraid you didn't find that pointless answer you needed,
0:40:59 > 0:41:01so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot,
0:41:01 > 0:41:03which means it rolls over onto the next show.
0:41:03 > 0:41:04But it's been great having you here,
0:41:04 > 0:41:06and you get a Pointless trophy to take home,
0:41:06 > 0:41:08so very well done indeed, Amy and Julie.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11APPLAUSE
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Yeah, it's really unlucky, of those top 50 countries,
0:41:15 > 0:41:17over half were pointless answers,
0:41:17 > 0:41:20but none of those pointless answers were Caribbean islands, funnily enough.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23It's mainly Africa and Asia were the countries you were looking for.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Let's take a look at a few of them.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33The ones that were in South America, Central America,
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Paraguay,
0:41:36 > 0:41:37all pointless answers.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40You also could have had Bangladesh, Cote d'Ivoire,
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Egypt, Ethiopia, Fiji,
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Iran a pointless answer - you wouldn't think of it, would you?
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nepal, Nigeria,
0:41:48 > 0:41:51the Philippines is one of the top ten, the Philippines.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55Swaziland, Tanzania, Vietnam, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
0:41:55 > 0:41:56Now, any boxing fan,
0:41:56 > 0:41:59the Sugar Ray Leonard question was an absolute gimme.
0:41:59 > 0:42:00There's some very big names here.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03I would say one of his most famous opponents of all, Roberto Duran,
0:42:03 > 0:42:05fought three times, he's a pointless answer.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Floyd Mayweather Sr is a pointless answer.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Yes, he was a boxer.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Fernand Marcotte and Dave "Boy" Green, the British fighter, as well,
0:42:12 > 0:42:15was a pointless answer. Everyone is a pointless answer, in fact,
0:42:15 > 0:42:17apart from Marvin Hagler and Thomas "Hitman" Hearns,
0:42:17 > 0:42:18everyone else a pointless answer.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Now, those artists with top 40 hits.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Flo Rida had a hit called Sugar,
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Lonnie Donegan, Sal's Got a Sugar Lip,
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Sugar Kane by Sonic Youth, Sonic Youth a pointless answer,
0:42:28 > 0:42:30and Sugar Coated Iceberg, The Lightning Seeds.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Everyone a pointless answer there apart from The Archies,
0:42:33 > 0:42:35the Rolling Stones, the Rubettes,
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Maroon 5, Def Leppard, Lindsay de Paul, Fall Out Boy, Doris Day,
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Alma Cogan, Saccharine, Robin Schulz, Mac and Katie Kissoon
0:42:41 > 0:42:43and CJ Bolland, everyone else a pointless answer.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Very well done if you said one of those at home.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Thanks very much, Richard, and thanks very much, Amy and Julie,
0:42:48 > 0:42:50I'm so sorry. They didn't win our jackpot today
0:42:50 > 0:42:52which means it rolls over onto the next show
0:42:52 > 0:42:55when we will be playing for £10,250.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57APPLAUSE
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
