0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35And couple number one?
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Hello, I'm Amy, this is my dad, Nick.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40I'm from Worcester Park and he's from Horsham.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44- Couple number two?- Hello, my name is John and I'm with my son, Tom,
0:00:44 > 0:00:46and we're from Cheshire.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Couple number three?
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Adam, I'm from Stoke-on-Trent,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51and this is my good friend Harvey from the Isle of Wight.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And finally, couple number four?
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Liv, I'm from London and this is my really good friend Tori,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- and she lives in Reading. - And these are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Thank you very much, all of you. A warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Lovely to have you with us. We'll have a chance to chat throughout the show, of course, as it goes along.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15A hod-wielding brickie building the wall for our contestants to bang their heads against.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Hiya. Hey, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Hello, there. I'm really looking forward to today's show.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Really looking forward. We've got three returning pairs, and we liked all of them, didn't we?
0:01:28 > 0:01:29We had a lot of fun with all of them.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31So it's going to be a cracker. No pressure, Amy and Nick!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33LAUGHTER
0:01:33 > 0:01:34They seem rather nice, too.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36They are nice, but also Nick is a Fulham fan.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- Is he?- Yeah, yeah, yeah. We established that in our little chat.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- And they're from West Sussex. - I mean...
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- They've got it all, right? - They have.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Fitting in seamlessly into our group.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47On podium four, Liv and Tori got knocked out in the first round.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Two letters away from the best possible answer in the round, as well.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52So, very unfortunate, hopefully see more of them.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55And Harvey and Adam, knocked out in that head-to-head, as well.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- Which was 2-0, wasn't it? - I wonder what happened in the final?
0:01:59 > 0:02:04I wonder what happened in the final as well, because it was for £9,250, wasn't it?
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- They were happy, weren't they? - Were they happy?
0:02:13 > 0:02:14- Let's find out.- Let's find out.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18So, Amy and Julie wondered what they would do with the money if they won it,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21but sadly they didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:21 > 0:02:22so we add another £1,000 to it.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26So today's jackpot starts off at £10,250.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30It's a telephone number.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42So, remember, the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44That's the thing you have to remember.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Keep your scores low, and it could be you winning that jackpot.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50The very best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category today is...
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05OK. Our historical events question concerns...
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Richard?- On each board we're going to give you clues to seven different
0:03:13 > 0:03:16people who left various posts or jobs at some point in the 20th or
0:03:16 > 0:03:1921st century, but who are those people, please?
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Seven on each board, 14 in all to have a go at at home.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Good luck, everyone.- OK. Thank you very much, indeed.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27So, yes, we're looking for the departed people given by these clues, as it were.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31And here is our first board of seven clues.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06I'll read those all out again.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39There we are. Nick, welcome.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40- Thank you.- Good to have you here from West Sussex.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- Indeed.- What do you do, Nick? - I'm a management consultant.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- In London or...? - All over.- That's exciting.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- Involves a bit of travel? - Indeed, yeah.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Excellent. And what do you like doing when you're not?
0:04:52 > 0:04:53I've got into spinning recently.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Cos of my age I am now on a bicycle rather than running.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58How... Do you ever... Do you wear a heart monitor ever?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01No, I'm not that keen. I'm an amateur.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04No, I'm really not keen at all, but I started wearing a heart monitor.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07It's sort of better. I can understand why I feel dead.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11And then I understand when I start to revive a little bit. It sort of helps a bit.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- It does.- Anyway, now, Nick...
0:05:13 > 0:05:15this board.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Erm... I'm pretty certain the Crystal manager Palace...
0:05:19 > 0:05:22The Crystal Palace manager that quit was
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- Tony Pulis.- Tony Pulis?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Yeah.- OK, let's see if Tony Pulis is right,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28let's see how many of our 100 people knew that answer.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32It is Tony Pulis.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39That is a fantastic answer.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Scores you five, Nick. What a brilliant start to the show.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Five.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Lovely work, Nick. Very well played. Tony Pulis, he left...
0:05:47 > 0:05:50He rowed with the Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Thank you very much indeed. John, welcome back.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Thank you.- Welcome back. Remind us what you do, John?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I'm retired, Alexander.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Retired. A poster boy for retirement, I've said it before.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05And your retirement is filled with lovely things, such as...?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Fishing and golf and gardening and walking the dog and all that sort of...
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Outside things, mostly. - Very nice indeed.- When I can.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Now, as a gardener, are you... I mean, how committed are you as a gardener?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Well, I grow a lot of vegetables.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- This is good.- And I do other gardening jobs as instructed by...
0:06:20 > 0:06:23my house manager, Mrs Munnery.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25When I get a list, I get a list, and I have to get on with it.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27And you work through them? You are diligent?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Exactly. Until I tear the list up and lose it.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Lose the list, or just lose it?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- Well... Lose the list, really. - That's great.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Now, John, what would you like to go for?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41I'm going to give you the answer King Edward VIII,
0:06:41 > 0:06:45who was with Wallis Simpson in 1936.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48OK. King Edward VIII, says John.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Let's see how many of our 100 people knew that.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55It is King Edward VIII.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Five is our only score at this point.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03King Edward VIII, down it goes to 19. Good score.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Yeah, had a reign of just 326 days.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10The only person to ever give up the British throne voluntarily.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Thank you very much, Richard. Now, then, Adam, welcome back.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- Hi.- Remind us what you do, Adam? - I'm a PhD student at York.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19In insects, we discovered last time.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22What drew you to insects, Adam?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Just... It was offered as one of the projects, and...
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Don't say that! You are meant to say, "I just love their...
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- "thoraxes and their abdomens..." - Yeah, I love them.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- ..and the other bit. What was the other thing?- Head?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38LAUGHTER Head. There we are.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- You see, he's good. He is good. - That is good.- Yeah.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44That's good. That's where you find the eyes and whatever, I don't know...
0:07:44 > 0:07:47And Adam, what are your interests, Adam?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Oh. This is even worse.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52LAUGHTER
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Knitting?- Yeah...
0:07:54 > 0:07:56I had my wisdom teeth out the other day.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58LAUGHTER
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I know it's not a hobby, but...
0:08:00 > 0:08:03it got me out of the house, like.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- Yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:08:06 > 0:08:08This isn't even what I look like, I'm quite swollen,
0:08:08 > 0:08:09so I just wanted to say that.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- One on each side?- All of them.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15- All at the same time?- Yeah.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Oh, Adam!
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Now, then, Adam, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:08:20 > 0:08:21See, I think I know all of them,
0:08:21 > 0:08:25so I'm going to have to go with my Stoke-on-Trent connection, aren't I?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28And say Robbie Williams, who went to my high school.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- Did he?- Oh, yeah.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Did he ever come back and visit? - Not while I was there.- No.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Anyway, there we go. We digress.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Robbie Williams is what Adam has gone for.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Let's see how many of our 100 people said Robbie Williams.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46It's right.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Down it goes to 26. Not bad.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Not a bad score, there.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Stoke boy done good.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Yeah. At last count he's now left 17 times, Robbie Williams.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- I like the fact that's now under historical events.- Yes.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Quite right. Quite right.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Tori, welcome back. Remind us what you do, Tori?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12I'm a general manager of a bar in Reading.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Managing a bar. How long have you been at the bar?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I've been general manager for above four years.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- Are you open at lunchtime? - Yes.- Throughout the day?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- Yes.- Do you serve food?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- We do, yeah.- Is it quite a well-known chain of bars?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Erm...
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I'm guessing no, from that pause. LAUGHTER
0:09:29 > 0:09:30In the Reading area.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Yes, very well-known in the Reading area.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Tori, what would you like to go for? This board is all yours.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Yeah, there's a couple that I think are far too obvious.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I'm going to go with the Radio 1 presenter.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- I think it was Chris Evans. - OK, Chris Evans, says Tori.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Let's see how many of our 100 people said Chris Evans.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55It's true, it is Chris Evans.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59And it is going all the way down to 12, look at that.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05What about that? Second lowest score of the round, Chris Evans, there.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06- Very well done, Tori. - Very good answer.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Now, of course, host of the Radio 2 breakfast show.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Now, let's fill in the rest of these, shall we?
0:10:11 > 0:10:12The first head of
0:10:12 > 0:10:15the Catholic church to resign for nearly 600 years.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- Pope Benedict XVI. - It was Pope Benedict XVI.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19It would have scored you nine points.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23He said it's because he was getting too frail and he was losing energy
0:10:23 > 0:10:26and then within three weeks, he was hosting Homes Under The Hammer.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28LAUGHTER
0:10:28 > 0:10:30So...
0:10:30 > 0:10:32I mean, that's weird, right?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34He's very good at it.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Leader of the Labour Party was...
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Ed Miliband.- Ed Miliband.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Would have scored you 42.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41And the UK Prime Minister...
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- Was Margaret Thatcher. - Margaret Thatcher.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44And that would have scored you 60.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46So the best answer on the board,
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Nick, is Tony Pulis. Well played. - There we are.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Thank you very much indeed. We are halfway through the round.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Let's have a little look at these scores.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Five, Nick, very well done indeed. Best score so far.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Nick and Amy looking very strong. 12 is where we find Tori and Liv.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Ditto. And then up to 19 where we find Tom and John and 26,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Adam and Harvey. They are all nice low scores, there.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06No-one's miles ahead but, Harvey, you are a little bit ahead,
0:11:06 > 0:11:09so, good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Let's put seven more clues up on the board and here they are.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I'll read all of those again.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Now then, Liv, remind us what you do, Liv.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I'm an events director.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25An events director. Based in London?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Based in London, yes.- And so you are very familiar with all the sort of
0:12:28 > 0:12:31big hotels of Park Lane and Mayfair, are you?
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- Yes, yes.- Are those looking for any awards hosts?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- Definitely.- Yeah, yeah.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Always - ALWAYS - fun.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Cos we never win them, so we have to present them.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47- It's the closest we ever get to cold Perspex.- Exactly.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49So, Liv, yes, we want a lovely low score from you here.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52You're on 12 at the moment, so, 13 or less would keep you in
0:12:52 > 0:12:56even before anyone else has given a second answer.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58So, I think I am going to go with
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Geri Halliwell,
0:12:59 > 0:13:01the singer whose nickname is derived
0:13:01 > 0:13:03from the colour of her hair.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Geri Halliwell. Let's see how many
0:13:04 > 0:13:06of our 100 people said Geri Halliwell.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07There is your red line.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Get below it and you are definitely
0:13:09 > 0:13:11into the next round.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14It is Geri Halliwell.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Looking good.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22There we are, 29 for Geri Halliwell,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24taking your total up to 41.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Well played, Liv.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Yes, after she left, Prince Charles wrote her a letter saying,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32"the group won't be the same without you."
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Has he not got better things to do with his time than writing to Geri Halliwell?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Thanks very much indeed.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Now then, Harvey, welcome back.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Remind us what you do, Harvey.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44I currently work in health care PR.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45And how long have you been doing that?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Cos you've only just left university.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Two months.- Fun.- So, yes, it's all very new.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- All very new but nice?- Indeed. I live in London, so that's very fun.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55That's fun. Where were you living before?
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Well, I was in Hull with Adam, at the University of Hull.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- Of course, yes.- And I'm from the Isle of Wight, so...
0:14:01 > 0:14:03I see. So, nice to be off the island.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I mean obviously to go back to the island. It's always nice to go back home.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- Of course.- But, yes, the bright lights of London.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- Of course.- That's fun. OK, good. Harvey, on 26.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15The high scorers at the moment are on 41,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18so, 14 or less is your target.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20There is one that I'm tempted to go for
0:14:20 > 0:14:23because Adam was such a fan of her...
0:14:23 > 0:14:25and I think that's the Jamaican born socialite.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I think... Is it Lady P?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Lady P...
0:14:29 > 0:14:33- Oh, no. Are we expecting something?- No.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34- Have I not done it?- It's close.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- Oh, well.- Lady P is Harvey's answer.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Let's see what happens. There is your red line, quite low.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Let's see what happens when we say Lady P.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Oh, no.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53But you know he did that for you, Adam.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- I know, I blame myself. - He did that for you.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59I'm afraid that scores you 100 points, takes your total to 126.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02But now we know what your face looked like when you had your wisdom teeth taken out, as well.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04LAUGHTER
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Yes, you can tell Lady P, she's always sitting down.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09LAUGHTER Thank you very much indeed.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Now then, Tom.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Welcome back. Remind us what you do, Tom.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16I'm a police officer in Manchester.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19You're a detective. Are you a detective inspector?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- DI Tom?- No, no, just a detective constable, I'm afraid.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Just a detective constable.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25what are your interests when not...?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28I've recently become a father, so most of the time,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- I'm clearing up effluent and... - LAUGHTER
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- And such.- Congratulations.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35That's lovely. How old is your, what, boy or a girl?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Little Bertie is nine months old. - Little Bertie, that's nice.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42- Lovely. Well, many congratulations. - Thank you.- I have great news, Tom.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45You're through to the next round. It doesn't matter what you score.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48I'm afraid Harvey and Adam are our unassailable high scorers.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50What would you like to go for?
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Well, I think I know them all except for the Jamaican-born socialite.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55So I'm going to go, I think,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58for the England manager who resigned after a 1-0 defeat to Germany,
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- was Kevin Keegan, I think. - Kevin Keegan says Tom.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02This sounds like a good answer.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04No red line for you as you're already through.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Let's see how many of our 100 people said Kevin Keegan.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09It is Kevin Keegan.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Well, five was our low score in the first pass.
0:16:16 > 0:16:1811 is what you score with Kevin Keegan
0:16:18 > 0:16:21and that takes your total up to a nice round 30.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Well played, Tom.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24So many of them have resigned over the years,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26it's difficult to work out which one, but, yes,
0:16:26 > 0:16:30that was after the last game of the old Wembley, and he resigned in a toilet cubicle.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32He resigned to David Davis from the FA.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34It was the only private place they could find.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36LAUGHTER
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Hey, it's not a big place, Wembley.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42LAUGHTER
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- Now, Amy.- Hello.- Welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- Thank you.- What do you do, Amy? - I work in HR.- I see.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- And whereabouts do you do that? - In London.- In London.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57And when the HR day is done, what do you like to get up to?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00So, I've just got back into running after having my little boy,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03so I'm training for a half marathon next year.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- How old is your little boy? - 13 months.- Very good.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- Oh, so... And what's he called? - Oscar.- Oscar.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Oscar. Hello, Oscar. And Bertie.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Sorry, we didn't really say hello to Bertie.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Now, Amy, what would you like to go for?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Would you like to fill in all our blanks for us?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Unfortunately not.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21The only one I think I know is,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23unfortunately or fortunately,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26the I'm A Celebrity contestant,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29and I think it's Lady C.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- It's so obvious! - LAUGHTER
0:17:33 > 0:17:36No red line for you as you are already through to the next round.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38But let's see how many of our 100 people said Lady C.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43It's right.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Oh, look at that - 9!
0:17:50 > 0:17:53The two lowest scores of the entire round
0:17:53 > 0:17:55on this page here, taking your total up to 14.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Yes, Lady Colin Campbell, to give her her full title.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00She married Lord Colin Campbell.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03He proposed the first night he met her, they were married within a week.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- There you go.- There. That's that.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Now, the US president resigns to avoid impeachment.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10- Is Nixon.- Is Nixon.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Yes, Richard Nixon. Would have scored you 46.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14The lovely BBC breakfast presenter...
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- Is Bill Turnbull.- Bill Turnbull.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- Would have scored you 13. - And the UK Prime Minister?
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Is Harold Wilson.
0:18:21 > 0:18:2417 points for that. The leader of the Soviet Union who resigned?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- Gorbachev.- It was Gorbachev, yes, Mikhail Gorbachev.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27And would have scored you 26.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30So the best answer on the board is Lady C,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33so, the two best answers on the board, there, on podium one.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38So, at the end of our first round - oh, Harvey and Adam.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Oh, that's a shame! It's been such fun having you here.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Absolutely fantastic contestants.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45I think you were thinking of Thunderbirds, Lady P,
0:18:45 > 0:18:47that's what I'm thinking.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Anyway, I'm so sorry. 126.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51There's no arguing with that as a high score.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53We have to say goodbye to you, but thank you so much for playing.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Brilliant contestants, Harvey and Adam.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02But for the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Wow, what a round.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13I knew all four pairs in front of me last round were incredibly strong.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Best of luck for the next round. Our category for round two is...
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Here we go. It's a words round.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Liv ecstatic about this.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:19:39 > 0:19:41to name as many...
0:19:41 > 0:19:45words ending in OTH as they could.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Words ending in OTH.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- Richard.- Yes, we are looking for any word which has its own entry in the
0:19:50 > 0:19:54British and world English section of Oxforddictionaries.com that ends OTH.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57As always, no proper nouns, no hyphenated words.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59- Hmm.- Hmm.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02That's a thinker, isn't it?
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Yeah.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- Nick.- Thank you.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08I am, I'm struggling, actually, I can only think of one.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Sloth.- Sloth, says Nick.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Let's see how many of our 100 people said sloth.
0:20:24 > 0:20:2653. For sloth or "sloath".
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Yes, laziness, or an animal which is called a "sloath" or a sloth.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Sloth, sloath. Thank you very much.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- John.- I was going to go for that, Nick.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- Broadcloth.- Broadcloth.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Oh, did you hear, did you hear that murmur?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48That's what broadcloth does to them, John.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Let's see what happens when we say broadcloth.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54It's right.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Might we be seeing an increase in our jackpot here?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Yes, we are! Look at that. Well done indeed, John.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05That's a pointless answer.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10It adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £10,500.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15Scores you nothing and is just all-round wonderful.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Rather begs the question why you were going to go for sloth, though,
0:21:18 > 0:21:20I have to say.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21Yes, broadcloth.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Stars David Tennant and Olivia Colman.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25LAUGHTER
0:21:25 > 0:21:28No, it's a fabric. It's a very good answer.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Broadcloth. Thank you very much indeed. Very well done indeed, John.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Now, Tori.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Um, I've got one word stuck in my head so I'm just going to go for it.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Mammoth.- Mammoth, says Tori.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Let's see how many about 100 people said mammoth.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Look at that. Down to five. Very well done indeed.
0:21:58 > 0:22:005 for mammoth.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Another very good answer. Yes, a large extinct animal.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Scientists can tell how old mammoths were genuinely in the same way that
0:22:06 > 0:22:11you do with trees. You count the rings on the tusks and it shows you the age.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14And also, sometimes, there are birthday cards.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16LAUGHTER
0:22:16 > 0:22:18And if it's got a badge on the birthday card, then you know.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21That's true. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23So, yes, we are halfway through the round.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Let's take a look at the scores.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26Nothing was the best score of that pass.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Very well done indeed, broadcloth, John.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Fabulous answer. Tori, five, very good indeed.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Liv was looking a little bit panicky at the beginning of this round.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37I'm hoping that's settled your nerves a little bit.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Lovely low score from Tori. Nick and Amy.
0:22:39 > 0:22:4253 is quite a high score.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47Amy, you know what I want from you on this next pass - a nice low score.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Preferably a minus score. Good luck with that, Amy.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01OK, now, Liv, remember we are looking for any word that ends with the letters OTH.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I'm going to go tablecloth.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Is a lovely answer, surely. Tablecloth. Here is your red line.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09If you can get below this red line with tablecloth,
0:23:09 > 0:23:10you are through to the next round.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12How many of our 100 people said tablecloth?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Very well done, Liv. Through you go.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Into the head-to-head with room to spare.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24Down to two. Look at that!
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Takes your total up to seven.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Well played, Liv, great answer.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Yes, a cloth that you spread across the table.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36LAUGHTER
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Although that's not where it gets its name from.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41It gets its name from its inventor, who is Dave Tablecloth.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42LAUGHTER
0:23:42 > 0:23:46- Pure coincidence.- There we are. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Now, Tom.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51We have a goal. You have to score 52 or less.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53That's to stay in the game.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56For credibility's sake, you really need to score a pointless answer.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57LAUGHTER
0:23:57 > 0:23:59That is true.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02I'm going to go with...
0:24:02 > 0:24:03froth.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Froth.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- Yes.- Froth.- As in, pint of beer. - As in, pint of beer.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Froth, says Tom. There is your red line.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11If you can get below that with froth,
0:24:11 > 0:24:13you are through to the head-to-head.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Let's see how many of our 100 people said froth.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Well done - through.
0:24:23 > 0:24:2531 for froth.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27Takes your total up to 31.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Yes, safe and sound.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Yes, it's just a series of bubbles caused by agitation.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41Now then, Amy, I'm afraid sloth has left you high and dry.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45- Yes.- What about seeing if we can find another pointless answer?
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Yes, I'm really struggling.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Mammoth was my first one and then froth was my second one.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55Yeah, so, third one - broth.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57- Broth.- Yeah.- OK.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- Were you a fan of broth, back in the...?- Back in the day?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Back in the '90s? OK, let's find out. No red line for you, as, I'm
0:25:03 > 0:25:05afraid, you are the high scorers.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Let's see how many of our 100 people said broth.
0:25:15 > 0:25:2034 for broth takes your total up to 87.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Yes, now, do you have an answer?
0:25:23 > 0:25:27I have. Do you know, I've now got behemoth.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Behemoth, there you go. Scores 13.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33No, really?
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Yeah. Lots of good pointless answers here though, I have to say.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Lots of those cloth words are up there, as well.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Let's take a look, but also, yes, there are other ones that you might have gone for.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Let's take a look at a few of these.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Quoth, as in said. Sabre-tooth.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55See, tooth is another one
0:25:55 > 0:25:57where there's lots of good pointless answers.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Houndstooth and dogstooth both pointless answers as well.
0:26:05 > 0:26:081 point for forsooth, which is a rather lovely one.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- You're disappointed with your answers, aren't you?- Yes, really, really disappointed.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- You'd have got through, though. - I know, I know.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Behemoth is a perfectly good one, and I predicted it, so...
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- Well, you did, exactly. - That's something, isn't it?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Thank you. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22We are at the end of our second round.
0:26:22 > 0:26:2387 was the high score there for Amy and Nick.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Our champion low scorers in Round One.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- I know.- I'm so sorry to be sending you home now, but we'll see you again next time.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I'm sure you'll be much better. In the meantime, thanks so much, Amy and Nick.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Congratulations, Liv and Tori, Tom and John.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for that jackpot.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Let's just remind ourselves about that jackpot.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55It currently stands at £10,500.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Well, we've reached the head-to-head which means you are now allowed to confer.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04From here on in you start playing as a team.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07The first pair in this round to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Literally anything could happen.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Here is your first question and it concerns...
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- Richard.- Yes, we've done this before once, I really liked it.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28We're going to show you now five street signs,
0:27:28 > 0:27:30photographs of street signs from around the world.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33What cities would you find these street signs in, please?
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Very good. Yes, I remember this.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39So, yes, let's reveal our five signs.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41In which cities would you find these signs?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Hmm. Things to get you thinking there.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25That ten and a half grand is not going to come easy.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Liv and Tori, you are the low scorers, so you will go first.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33There's a couple that I know,
0:28:33 > 0:28:34there's a couple that I'd risk a guess at but...
0:28:36 > 0:28:38um...
0:28:38 > 0:28:40I'm going to go with A...
0:28:41 > 0:28:43..being Berlin.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44A, Berlin.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46OK. A, Berlin. Now, Tom and John,
0:28:46 > 0:28:49would you like to talk us through the rest of that board?
0:28:49 > 0:28:54Well, B could well be Tokyo, couldn't it, but who knows?
0:28:54 > 0:28:56I can't decipher that at all.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59C could be Dubai.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01E is Dublin.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03But I think we're going to go for D
0:29:03 > 0:29:06which I think is going to be San Francisco.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08OK, you're going to say San Francisco, D.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10So, we have Berlin and we have San Francisco.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Liv and Tori said Berlin for A.
0:29:13 > 0:29:14Let's see how many of our 100 people said Berlin.
0:29:30 > 0:29:3433. Now, Tom and John meanwhile have gone for San Francisco for D.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Let's see how many of our 100 people said San Francisco.
0:29:46 > 0:29:507. Very well done indeed, Tom and John.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54That means, Tom and John, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Yes, well played. I thought that might score a few more.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Haight and Ashbury is the very centre of the kind of counterculture
0:29:58 > 0:30:02movement of the '60s over in the US, so that's very well spotted.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05B - it is Tokyo.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Maybe too much of a risk to go for it because it could have been other
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Japanese cities. 28 points for that.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13C is the best answer up there.
0:30:15 > 0:30:16And it's Marrakesh.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20Marrakesh in Morocco would have scored you 3.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24And the biggest scorer, of course, is Dublin...
0:30:25 > 0:30:27..and would have scored you 36.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29There we go. Thank you very much indeed.
0:30:29 > 0:30:30Now, here is your second question.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Liv and Tori, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Tom and John get to answer it first, so, very best of luck.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41Our second question today is all about...
0:30:41 > 0:30:44The "bass" or the "base". I don't know.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Is it all about the "bass" or...? Who knows?
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- Let's find out. - It's all about that "bass".
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Yes, we're just simply going to give you five clues now to facts about
0:30:53 > 0:30:54either the "bass" or the "base".
0:30:54 > 0:30:56You'll work it out when we put them up there.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00So, it's either going to be about a guitar, or about a fish.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02- Very, very... - LAUGHTER
0:31:02 > 0:31:04I don't know which you'd prefer.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Maybe both. Maybe it's a mix of both.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11Here are some clues to bass-bass - five of them.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Stage name of... Oh, it's the fish. RICHARD LAUGHS
0:31:15 > 0:31:17HE READS CLUES
0:31:33 > 0:31:34I'll read them all again.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Tom and John will go first.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Right. Well, it's not great.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02And I like a bass, so...
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Do you like it steamed or...?
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- I like a funky bass.- Draught Bass.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Yes. So, I think we're going to go for the stage name of Michael Peter
0:32:12 > 0:32:16Balzary, bass player with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, I think is Flea.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Flea, say Tom and John.
0:32:21 > 0:32:22Liv and Tori.
0:32:24 > 0:32:29OK, let's do that. No, you do it. I'd get her name wrong.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33So we're going to go for the bottom one, the US singer,
0:32:33 > 0:32:35- Meghan Trainor.- Meghan Trainor.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37So we have Flea and we have Meghan Trainor.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Tom and John went for Flea.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Let's see how many of our 100 people said Flea.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46It's right.
0:32:51 > 0:32:5322 for Flea.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Liv and Tori have gone for Meghan Trainor.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Let's see if that is right for the last one.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Let's see how many of our 100 people said Meghan Trainor.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08It's right.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- Go on, go on.- Oh!
0:33:13 > 0:33:1535.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19Which means, very well done indeed, Tom and John.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22After only two questions, you are straight through to the final 2-0.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Yes, very, very strong performance, there.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27There's a couple of answers that would have won you the point.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30That second answer there would have won you the point, the male voice,
0:33:30 > 0:33:32- which is...?- Baritone.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34- Baritone.- That would have scored 14.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37And the double bass belongs in this section of the orchestra.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- Strings.- Strings. That would have scored 62.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43And this is the best answer by quite some way.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Three points if you'd said Johnny Cymbal.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48CONTESTANTS CHUCKLE
0:33:49 > 0:33:51- Did you know that one?- No.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52He used to wear a very hi-hat.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54LAUGHTER
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Well, we are at the end of our head-to-head round and I'm sorry to say,
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Liv and Tori, this is where we have to say goodbye to you.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Tremendous performance across the show today.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Really, really lovely low score after low score.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Tablecloth will be the low score I'll be taking away with me, Liv.
0:34:10 > 0:34:15But I'm afraid you came up against John and Tom just on searing form
0:34:15 > 0:34:17in the head-to-head. So, this is where we say goodbye.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20It's been lovely having you on. Thank you so much, Liv and Tori.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27But for Tom and John, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Congratulations, Tom and John.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35You have fought off all the competition valiantly
0:34:35 > 0:34:37and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48At the end of today's show,
0:34:48 > 0:34:51the jackpot is standing at £10,500.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59What would you like to see come up?
0:34:59 > 0:35:03Well, mostly OK on geography.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05You're quite good on history.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06Sports, OK.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10- Not musicals.- Angling.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12OK. Cos that comes up a lot.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14LAUGHTER
0:35:14 > 0:35:16You never know. You just never know.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18But you've got quite a lot of bases covered and we've had some very
0:35:18 > 0:35:21impressive answers. We had a pointless answer, as well.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23You have contributed towards this enormous jackpot.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Very, very best of luck. Let's see what is on the board behind me.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Let's hope there's something you like the look of. Today's selection reads like this.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32We have got:
0:35:39 > 0:35:43Yeah. Well, I'm not good on classical music.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45No, we can pass that by. Political comedy on-screen.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49It's comedy all the time, isn't it, so it could be anywhere, couldn't it?
0:35:49 > 0:35:50- LAUGHTER - It could be. - Decades of Formula 1.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53I kind of know some...
0:35:53 > 0:35:56- You know old racing car drivers, don't you?- Probably.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58But I don't know, I haven't watched it in years.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00I don't think we'll go for crime writers.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03US crime writers, no, I don't really like that.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07So it's between political comedy... You like Yes, Minister, don't you?
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Yeah, well, I can't remember any of it.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11- Right, OK.- I think we might go for Formula 1.
0:36:11 > 0:36:16We're going to have to, which doesn't bode well, but...
0:36:16 > 0:36:17Decades of Formula 1.
0:36:19 > 0:36:20- OK, Richard.- Yes, very best of luck.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23It's always a good team in these jackpot rounds when you have a parent and a child.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26There's something about it that works, and this particularly
0:36:26 > 0:36:28because it's very different generations in the questions here.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30So, £10,500, very, very best of luck.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33We are looking for any of the following, please.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Looking for anyone who finished in the top three at the end of any
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Formula 1 season in the 1960s.
0:36:38 > 0:36:401960 to 1969.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42So, at the end of the season, anyone in the top three.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46The same for the 1980s and the same for the 2000s.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50So, anyone who finished the end of the season in the top three
0:36:50 > 0:36:52in the '60s, the '80s or the 2000s.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Very, very best of luck, gents.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Thank you very much, Richard.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:00 > 0:37:03and all you need to win that jackpot, I'm just going to remind you, £10,500,
0:37:03 > 0:37:06is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07- Are you ready?- Yes.- Yes.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Item one, Jody Scheckter. Jochen Rindt.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- Jack Brabham.- Yes.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21'80s, I'm not so sure about.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23'80s, you've got...
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Johnny Herbert, Michele Alboreto, I think.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29You've got... I think I might have made that name up.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Nelson Piquet. I'm trying to think.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34Gerhard Berger.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39In the 2000s, I think we just avoid.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- Yes.- So we come back to the 1960s.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44What were those names again?
0:37:44 > 0:37:46- Jochen Rindt.- Jody Scheckter.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47I've heard of Jody Schechter.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Jack Brabham.- Yes, I think Jack Brabham, he used to run a car team,
0:37:50 > 0:37:52didn't he, so he's probably less likely?
0:37:52 > 0:37:56- How sure are you about the first fella?- Not really.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03OK. Michele Alboreto I think we should probably go for.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05I think he was around in the '80s.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- We'll have that one.- And those two fellas that you mentioned before.- OK.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- Or maybe Johnny Herbert. - Yeah, all right.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14- We can't have four.- OK, that is your time up.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Let's have your three answers.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18And if you could say which decade they're in.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- Tom's going to do his two and then I'll do mine.- OK.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Yeah. Er...
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Johnny Herbert and Michele Alboreto.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26Johnny Herbert, from which decade?
0:38:26 > 0:38:29From the '80s. He was sort of borderline.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Johnny Herbert, Michele Alboreto.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35Yes. And then from the 1960s...
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- Jochen Rindt.- Jochen Rindt. OK, of those three,
0:38:38 > 0:38:41which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- I think that one. - Jochen Rindt goes last.
0:38:44 > 0:38:45Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:45 > 0:38:48I think Johnny Herbert might be early '90s, so we'll stick him...
0:38:48 > 0:38:51Johnny Herbert might be early '90s and...
0:38:51 > 0:38:53- Him. Michele Alboreto. - Michele Alboreto.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- Who can forget Michele Alboreto? - We'll put him in the middle.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Let's put the answers up on the board in that order, then.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02And here they are. We have got Johnny Herbert,
0:39:02 > 0:39:06we have got Michele Alboreto and we have got Jochen Rindt.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Very best of luck. Three good answers on the board.
0:39:08 > 0:39:13Now, what if one of these answers turns out to be pointless and wins you £10,500?
0:39:13 > 0:39:16What would you like to do with it? Tom, you first.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20Well, a few things. I owe my mate Woz a pint.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22That's a hell of a pint, isn't it?
0:39:22 > 0:39:24LAUGHTER
0:39:25 > 0:39:27I said I'd get him that.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30Yes, and maybe a funeral care plan for my father.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- LAUGHTER- He's starting to get on a bit...
0:39:35 > 0:39:37APPLAUSE
0:39:39 > 0:39:41So, yeah, and we've both got very high maintenance wives,
0:39:41 > 0:39:45so handbags and chocolates and champagne.
0:39:45 > 0:39:46John, anything you'd like to add to that?
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Well, at my age, I'm going to blow it.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50LAUGHTER
0:39:51 > 0:39:53OK, well, very, very best of luck.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57Let's see what happens. Johnny Herbert is your first answer.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01In this case, we're looking for anyone who finished in the top three in the 1980s.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05Johnny Herbert. If this is pointless, it will win you £10,500.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08How many of our 100 people said Johnny Herbert?
0:40:08 > 0:40:09Is it pointless?
0:40:15 > 0:40:17OK. That's fine. We've got three good answers.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Two left. That's why we have three answers.
0:40:20 > 0:40:21You can afford to have one like that.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Johnny Herbert, incorrect, not a pointless answer.
0:40:24 > 0:40:25So let's move swiftly on.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Your next answer is Michele Alboreto.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29In this case, we are also looking
0:40:29 > 0:40:32for top three drivers in the 1980s. Michele Alboreto.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36If it is right and if it is pointless, it will win you £10,500.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Let's see how many of our 100 people said Michele Alboreto.
0:40:39 > 0:40:40Is it right, is it pointless?
0:40:43 > 0:40:45It's right.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Your first answer Johnny Herbert was an incorrect answer.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Michele Alboreto, absolutely right.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Down we go through the twenties, into the teens, OK,
0:40:52 > 0:40:53we're now into single figures.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Still going down, still going down.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57You have done it!
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Who'd have thought? Who would have thought?
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Very well done. Superb.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Absolutely fantastic.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12A great answer, Michele Alboreto.
0:41:14 > 0:41:19A pointless answer, which means you will be going home with that jackpot of £10,500.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Very well done indeed, John and Tom.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:26 > 0:41:30Wow! What a show. We said right at the beginning it's going to be a great show today
0:41:30 > 0:41:33because we had these three returning pairs. We knew you were all good.
0:41:33 > 0:41:34We knew it was going to be a special show.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37You guys made it through and we said that kind of thing, a parent and a child,
0:41:37 > 0:41:39such a good combination in these sorts of things,
0:41:39 > 0:41:43and it's the child who's come through that and won his dad some
0:41:43 > 0:41:45money there with Michele Alboreto.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48But don't get too cocky, because Jochen Rindt, your dad's answer,
0:41:48 > 0:41:50was also a pointless answer.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52APPLAUSE
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Which is perfect, which is absolutely perfect.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Well played, gents, terrific performance.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07- I know you don't care. - LAUGHTER
0:42:07 > 0:42:09But some people at home will.
0:42:09 > 0:42:10The '60s. Let's take a look.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Bruce McLaren. Talking of people who had their own teams.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Jack Brabham would have scored you 3 points.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16So, you did well to avoid him.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23You also could have had Dan Gurney, Richie Ginther and Wolfgang Von Trips as well.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26They're the pointless answers. Now, the '80s.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Some names you'll know here...
0:42:35 > 0:42:39You also could have had Didier Pironi, Elio de Angelis and our old friend, Michele Alboreto.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Came second in 1985, Michele Alboreto.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45And the 2000s, there's only two pointless answers here for 2000.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47You immediately decided to avoid it. You were right to.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Juan Pablo Montoya and Rubens Barrichello.
