0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless, the show
0:00:24 > 0:00:27where the aim of the game is to find the most obscure answer possible.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31APPLAUSE
0:00:33 > 0:00:34And, couple number one...
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Hi, my name's Helen, I'm from Leeds
0:00:36 > 0:00:38and this is my best friend Lynne from Warrington.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Couple number two...
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Afternoon, my name's Harry, I'm from Oldham,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44and this is my friend Paul and he's from Bury.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Couple number three...
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Hello, my name's Tom and this is my twin sister Sophie
0:00:48 > 0:00:50and we're both from Leighton Buzzard.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And, finally, couple number four...
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hello, my name's Sue and this is my husband Alan and we're from Newbury.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Thanks very much to all of you,
0:01:01 > 0:01:04a very warm welcome to Pointless, great to have you with us.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06We'll get a chance to chat each of you throughout the show as it
0:01:06 > 0:01:09goes along. So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12He wasn't born yesterday, he was born in 1970 with a full
0:01:12 > 0:01:15head of hair and prescription glasses, already weighing 8st.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Very good! Hiya!
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- APPLAUSE - Hey, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- Ah, 1970, it was a good year, right? - It was a good year.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- You were born in 1970 as well, weren't you?- Yeah.- Ah...
0:01:28 > 0:01:29Yeah. Oh, it was good.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Now...- Yes, sorry.- ..the last show, we got two tales of, I'm going
0:01:32 > 0:01:34to say bad luck, from the last show.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37There's Sue and Alan, you were so close to not being knocked out
0:01:37 > 0:01:40in about five different ways but, unfortunately, none of those ways
0:01:40 > 0:01:43paid off and then Paul and Harry got through to the head-to-head
0:01:43 > 0:01:45but came up against Hannah and Sarah,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48who got the best possible answer on both the head-to-head questions,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50they were unbelievable, went through,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53got a topic they liked, which is Star Trek, in the Final Round,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- seven points, two points... - And...
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- ..two points. - THEY WINCE
0:01:59 > 0:02:03The disappointment etched on your faces, everybody.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05CHUCKLING Happy days. Well, listen, Sarah and
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Hannah didn't win the jackpot last time, which means we add
0:02:07 > 0:02:10another £1,000 to it, so today's jackpot starts off at a - this is
0:02:10 > 0:02:13rather, this is a good jackpot, £4,000, there we are.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15APPLAUSE
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20APPLAUSE
0:02:23 > 0:02:26So, remember this, the pair with the highest score at the end of each
0:02:26 > 0:02:30round will be eliminated. Keep your scores low, that's it.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category today is...
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going to go first,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39who's going to go second.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- Richard.- On each board, I'm going to show you the names of seven albums
0:02:54 > 0:02:57released by different bands. They're the second albums by each of these
0:02:57 > 0:02:59bands, we just need you to tell us the names of the bands, please.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02So we've 14 in all to have a go at at home, very best of luck.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Thanks very much indeed. So, who had hits with these albums?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08And our first board reads like this...
0:03:19 > 0:03:20I'll read that again.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Lynne, welcome to Pointless, great to have you here.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36What do you do, Lynne?
0:03:36 > 0:03:40I'm a partner in an insight and innovation agency up in Manchester.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- An insight and innovation agency? - I know, yeah!
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- See, that's fun. So, every day, who knows what could happen?- Who knows?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49It's just a meeting of... HE MIMICS AN EXPLOSION
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- ..of minds.- Exactly.- So, Lynne, what are your interests?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54What are my interests? Gosh, well, first and foremost,
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I've got a daughter, who's nine,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- so she takes up most of my time, as you know with kids.- What's her name?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- Katie.- Katie, hello.- She'll be very pleased you said that.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05And I'm in a community choir and I play tennis.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07How big is your community choir?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10There's only seven of us, very small.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Small community or just not very interested in choirs?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- LAUGHTER - Probably both!
0:04:15 > 0:04:17That's nice, though, seven,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20so quite close harmonies or do you all sing the same line together?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- No, close harmonies.- Close harmony, oh, that's very good. Good stuff.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Now, Lynne, our board of second albums,
0:04:26 > 0:04:27what would you like to go for?
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Gosh, right, I'm sorry but I'm going to have to play this safe.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36I know a few but I'm just going to have to go for Like A Virgin
0:04:36 > 0:04:37and Madonna.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40OK.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Very good. You're going to play safe.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Let's see how many of our 100 people said Madonna.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I suspected it might be that, Lynne, there's safe...
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Was not safe!
0:04:54 > 0:04:58..and there's not really going far below 100. Yes, 97, there we are.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Well, good. It's a good start to the round.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06Yeah, it was originally released in 1984 but reached the top 40 in 1985.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Um...
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- Yeah, Madonna, she's an American singer.- Yes...
0:05:10 > 0:05:11CHUCKLING
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- Thank you.- Pleasure!- There we are. Paul, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Remind us what you do. - I'm a textile chemist.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21See, this is great. So, this is coming up with new ways to
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- make textiles waterproof or flame retardant or...- That's right.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- How long have you been doing this? - About 40 years now.- Right.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32OK, any exciting new developments in textiles that we should be
0:05:32 > 0:05:34looking out for?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37It's becoming more material science now, you're mixing metals
0:05:37 > 0:05:41and plastics with textiles to get new developments all the time.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- Graphene.- Graphene.- Graphene's the big one from Manchester.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- From Manchester, graphene.- There we are.- Great band.- Great band!
0:05:47 > 0:05:50LAUGHTER Great name for a band.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52It is going to be the single most important
0:05:52 > 0:05:55material in our lifetime, I suspect, graphene. Would you agree?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I think so, yes, definitely.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Good stuff. OK, now, what would you like to go for?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Well, I'm going to have to have a guess
0:06:02 > 0:06:05and I'm going to say Sounds Of Silence, Simon And Garfunkel.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08So, Simon And Garfunkel, says Paul, for Sounds Of Silence.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Let's see how many of our 100 people said Simon And Garfunkel.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18It's right, well, you passed our high score, which is 97.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Down you go to 43. APPLAUSE
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Yes, includes the songs The Sound Of Silence and Homeward Bound,
0:06:27 > 0:06:31which is, yes, written not a million miles away from you, gents.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Wigan station, wasn't it?- Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- They kept, Simon And Garfunkel... - Or was it Widnes station?
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Oh, was it...?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Fortunately, Wigan and Widnes are not rivals in any way whatsoever!
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Luckily, no. I think that James Brown song where he kept saying,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46"Can I go to Widnes", that's... LAUGHTER
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Yes!- That was written in, on Widnes station.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51No, that was written in Wigan, he wanted to go to Widnes.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Of course, exactly. I confused them. Can I go to Widnes...
0:06:53 > 0:06:58- Yeah, talking to the guard.- Yeah. He's going...- "Can I get to Widnes?"
0:06:58 > 0:07:00You'd have the change, you would have to,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03there's probably two changes, I think, to get to Widnes.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Oh, you keep having to get up. Then get down again...
0:07:06 > 0:07:08He said, "Look, take that to the bridge."
0:07:08 > 0:07:11LAUGHTER Anyway, there we go.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15- Tom.- Hello.- Tom, welcome to Pointless. It's great to have you.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18It's been a long time since we've had twins on. It's exciting.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Who's the older of the two of you?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22That would be me by 15 minutes
0:07:22 > 0:07:24but if you ask Sophie, she's going to say 14.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- How often do you get reminded of that, Sophie?- All the time!
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- All the time.- It's 14! - Tom, what do you do?
0:07:30 > 0:07:34I'm an online sales consultant for a well-known furniture retailer.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37That's nice. So, online sales consultant?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39It's a fancy way of saying I wait for the phone to ring
0:07:39 > 0:07:42and say the dimensions aren't on the website.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Basically, your job is to say,
0:07:44 > 0:07:45"I'm afraid we haven't got it in stock."
0:07:45 > 0:07:48"I'm afraid we haven't got it in stock."
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- "We can order it...- Yes. - "..it'll be with you next July."
0:07:51 > 0:07:54LAUGHTER That's fun, but it's a furniture
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- website.- Yeah.- Very good.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58So, you spend a lot of time with a tape measure or, you know,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01just looking at measurements and telling people what...
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Just typing in and looking at measurements, type again,
0:08:03 > 0:08:04look at more measurements.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Tom, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Looking on the board, I'm going to go for something recent on there,
0:08:10 > 0:08:14being fresh blood, and say Back To Black, Amy Winehouse.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Amy Winehouse, says Tom.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Let's see how many of our 100 people said Amy Winehouse.
0:08:21 > 0:08:2597's the high score, which you pass. 43 is our low score.
0:08:25 > 0:08:2751 is where you end up with Amy Winehouse.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29APPLAUSE Not bad.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Again, good answer, follow-up to her first album, Frank.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Alan.- Hello.- Welcome back.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Thank you.- Yes, we have a bit of a score to settle with Pointless,
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- I think, do we not?- Whether we can or not is another matter.- Yes.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47I think you probably can. Remind us what you do, Alan.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Yeah, I work in external communications for a large
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- building society.- That's right, based in Newbury.- I am, yes.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- But then you commute in devoutly to Stamford Bridge...- I do, yes.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- ..to go and cheer on Chelsea. - Yes, through thick and thin.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Bit more thin, recently. But...
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- We've had some thick. - You've had some thick.- Yes!
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Now, Alan, would you like to talk us through all these remaining albums?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I would absolutely love to talk you through it
0:09:10 > 0:09:12but I'm not going to be able to do that.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I was quite happy with the three that have been said.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I'm going to have to take a guess,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19so it could either be something or bust, I think.
0:09:19 > 0:09:25I think I'm going to go for Paranoid as a 1970 one from a sort of concept
0:09:25 > 0:09:27band at the time, and say Led Zeppelin.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31OK, you're going to go for Led Zeppelin for Paranoid.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Let's see how many of our 100 people said it, is it right?
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Oh, no.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42I tell you what's good news,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44though, actually scoring 100 means you're not very far
0:09:44 > 0:09:48away from Lynne, so, actually, it's really just a step down, really.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Yes.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53It's Cote d'Ivoire all over again, I'm afraid, Alan, I'm sorry,
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Yes, not Led Zeppelin.- Yeah, again, you're not a million miles away
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- there, Alan, it's not Led Zeppelin, it is...- It's Black Sabbath.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01It's Black Sabbath, yes. That would have scored you 27 points.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Take Me Home is by Xander's favourites, One Direction.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Would have scored you four points. Can't Slow Down...?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Lionel Richie.- It is Lionel Richie, yeah.- Of course it's Lionel Richie.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- He bought it for me for our first Christmas together!- Oh, no, Alan!
0:10:14 > 0:10:17LAUGHTER
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Alan, you've sort of had a unique Pointless career in many ways!
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- LAUGHTER - I might retire!
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I think they might make a movie of your appearances on this show.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Eight points if you said that,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29and The Writing's On The Wall is the best answer on the board,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- a great album as well, and it's Destiny's Child.- Yeah.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- That would have scored you two points.- Two!
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Very well done if you said that.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Thank you very much indeed. OK, well, we're halfway through the
0:10:38 > 0:10:41round, let's take a look at those scores. Well, 43, strangely enough,
0:10:41 > 0:10:43the lowest score of the pass, so, well done there, Paul.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Then 51 is where we find Tom and Soph, 97 is where we find Lynne
0:10:47 > 0:10:50and Helen. And Alan and Sue, only a bit up from that on 100,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53so, yes, Sue, a little bit of pressure on you but I think you were
0:10:53 > 0:10:55more comfortable with that board than Alan?
0:10:55 > 0:10:56You certainly knew the Lionel Richie one.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Only I Can't Slow Down, but, yeah. - Good enough.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00We're going to come back down the line now.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10OK, seven more second albums going up on the board and here they are.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12We have got...
0:11:24 > 0:11:25I will read those all again.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43- Sue.- Hello.- Welcome back. Remind us what you do, Sue.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46I'm a surveyor working for Hampshire County Council, looking
0:11:46 > 0:11:48after their sort of schools estate.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51That is right and what are your interests, Sue, when not surveying?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Right, well, we've got an 11-year-old, Charlie,
0:11:53 > 0:11:58who I'm sort of chauffeur for and we like going to concerts,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01I like playing bridge and I've got an allotment, so...
0:12:01 > 0:12:02When you say you like going to concerts,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04what sort of concerts do you like going to?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Have you been to see Lionel Richie, for example?- We have, yes!
0:12:07 > 0:12:09LAUGHTER
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- It was brilliant. - And do you know where they saw them?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13In the Cote d'Ivoire! That's where they saw him.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15LAUGHTER
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Yeah, and big Bruce Springsteen fans, so saw him
0:12:17 > 0:12:21a couple of times this year, saw Billy Joel recently, so...
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Excellent.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- A few good concerts. - Lots of good concerts there.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Now, Sue, let's get a good, low score from you
0:12:28 > 0:12:29while the board is fresh.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Yeah, I'm torn between two.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Um...
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Oh, I just don't know which is going to be lower.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Er...
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I'm going to go for Lionheart, Kate Bush.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Kate Bush, says Sue, for Lionheart.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46No red line for you as you're the highest scorers,
0:12:46 > 0:12:48let's see how far the column
0:12:48 > 0:12:49we get with Kate Bush.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Kate Bush is right.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Well, 43 is our lowest score of the round so far
0:12:56 > 0:12:58and you've passed that very comfortably indeed,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01you go down to 7. Very well done indeed, Sue.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Seven is an exceptionally good score,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06probably the lowest of the whole round.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08I hope you done enough to keep yourselves in the game.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Yes, that's her follow-up to The Kick Inside.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Which we featured on the show the other day, didn't we?- We did.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- Alongside Back To Black, funnily enough.- Yeah.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Soph, welcome to Pointless.- Hello.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- What do you do, Soph? - I'm a barmaid.- Are you, now?- Yes.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- How long have you been doing that? - About a year and a half.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- And where do you do that?- At The Golden Bell.- See, that's nice.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- They'll be watching, well, you'll be watching it now.- Yeah.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31You'll be busy drying glasses watching...
0:13:31 > 0:13:34No, I've been told they're going to put it on all the TVs and, yeah,
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- they're never going to let me forget this.- Is it nice, The Golden Bell?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- It's really nice.- You have to say that! Is it really, though?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- It's really nice, yeah.- And they're really nice people there?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- Yeah, well, they're OK. - And a nice clientele?
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- Yeah, yeah, it's lovely. - Oh, that's very nice.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Sophie, you're on 51, which means
0:13:51 > 0:13:5355 or less is your target.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I'm going to have to play it super safe.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I saw them earlier this year, there's a couple I might know
0:13:58 > 0:14:01but hopefully this one, well, it's going to be high-scoring.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03I'm going to go for 21, Adele.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04- Adele.- Yes.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07OK, let's see how many of our 100 people said Adele.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08There is your red line.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Adele is right.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Oh, look at that!
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Not bad, 46 for Adele.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- Takes your total up to 97. Did you see her at the O2?- Yes, yeah.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- Great, wasn't it?- It was amazing. - What a show, yeah.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Yeah, well played, Soph, safely through there.- Good stuff.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Very well done. Now, Harry, welcome back. You're from Oldham.- Indeed.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Remind us what you do, Harry.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34I work for the NHS, I'm in supplies
0:14:34 > 0:14:36at the Royal Oldham Hospital.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Very good. So, are those sort of drug supplies or equipment supplies?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42No, equipment, yeah, more the things you can see, so if you walk into a
0:14:42 > 0:14:44hospital and have a look around, the odds are that things will have
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- come through us.- Good stuff.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48OK, now, Harry, what would you like to go for?
0:14:48 > 0:14:5043 is your score at the moment,
0:14:50 > 0:14:5263 is your target.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Yes, I think maybe I'm revealing
0:14:54 > 0:14:56a little bit about my age.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57I'll go for the one at the top of the board,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00A Saucerful Of Secrets, which I think is Pink Floyd.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Pink Floyd, says Harry, for A Saucerful Of Secrets.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Here is your red line. Get below that, you're into Round Two.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11Very well done.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Pink Floyd's taking you very comfortably through.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Look at that, down to 8. Very good.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Takes your total up to 51.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Yeah, the follow-up to The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25it's a very another very good answer. Well played.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Now then, Helen, welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31What do you do, Helen?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- I'm a GP.- A GP. Whereabouts?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- In Bradford.- In Bradford.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37How many GPS are there in your surgery?
0:15:39 > 0:15:40- Oh, hard to know.- I don't know!
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- It's so busy, you don't have time to count them.- Eight?- Eight.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- I think.- I'd love it if you ended up going, "Two."
0:15:47 > 0:15:49LAUGHTER Yeah.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Helen, when you're not GPing, what do you like to get up to?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Well, I like music, I play the piano.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58This is very good. Now, have you always played the piano?
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- Since I was about eight.- That tells me Helen's very good at the piano.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- Oh, really?- I would say, yes.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05You are very good at the piano, I should think.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06So what sort of things do you play?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Do you just play at home? Do you ever perform?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Oh, no, I wouldn't perform, no. - So, for your own enjoyment, though.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Yeah.- Get out a little bit of Chopin.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- I love Chopin.- There you are. - Debussy.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18There you are, lovely. Very nice.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21I mean, do you play for small, select audiences at home?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23My children and the next-door neighbours,
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- cos I'm in a terrace. - That is good enough.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Nice for the next-door neighbour.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Somebody who can play a piano well,
0:16:29 > 0:16:30living on either side, is a lovely thing.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33As long as they don't get the urge to practise in the middle
0:16:33 > 0:16:36of the night, I guess. Now, Helen, what would you like to go for?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- We have a competition on our hands here.- I know.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Because our high-scorers are Sue and Allen on 107.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43You are on 97. I forget why, Lynne.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44LAUGHTER
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- OK, so...- Yes, do you want to talk us through the board?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49(What's The Story) Morning Glory? is Oasis.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53The Bends is Radiohead.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Rio, I'm guessing, might be Duran Duran.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Rush Of Blood To The Head...
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I've got that, and I don't know...
0:17:00 > 0:17:01I can't think of who it is!
0:17:01 > 0:17:03"I've got that album, don't know who it's by.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05"I've seen them, can't remember who they are."
0:17:05 > 0:17:08So I'm going to go for Radiohead, The Bends.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13- The Bends, Radiohead.- Yeah. - OK, well, let us find out.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16There is your red line. You have to get below that with Radiohead.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Can you do it? The Bends, Radiohead, how many people said it?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Oh, no, 17!
0:17:29 > 0:17:31So close.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32And I have to say,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35it's the third-lowest scorer of the whole round,
0:17:35 > 0:17:38but I'm afraid it takes you up to 114. Sorry.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Yes, a valiant effort, Helen, a good answer as well.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Sue had doomed you by coming up with the best answer on the board,
0:17:43 > 0:17:45the Kate Bush answer.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48(What's The Story) Morning Glory? is the biggest scorer on the board.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Oasis, 61. Rio, you're quite right, was Duran Duran.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57- 42. And A Rush Of Blood To The Head. - Coldplay.- Is Coldplay, yeah.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- And that would've scored 21. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02So we are at the end of our first round, and,
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Helen and Lynne, I'm afraid you are our high-scorers on 114,
0:18:05 > 0:18:06so we have to say goodbye to you.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08We'll see you again next time, though.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Lovely to have you with us this time, Helen and Lynne.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22And three pairs remain.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24At the end of this round, obviously,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27we'll have to say goodbye to one of the pairs in front of me.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Paul and Harry, well done, our lowest combined score there.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Good work.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Our category for Round Two today is...
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:40 > 0:18:41who's going to go second?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Richard.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Yep, we're going to show you 16 pictures now, eight actors
0:18:56 > 0:18:58and eight real people that those actors have played on film.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00We're looking for the name either of any of the actors or
0:19:00 > 0:19:02any of the real people you're about to see.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Thank you very much. So, as Rich said, we'll put an image up which
0:19:05 > 0:19:07has pictures of actors and the real people they played.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10It'll all become clearer, I'm imagining,
0:19:10 > 0:19:11when it appears on the screen.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Anyway, you just say the name of one of the real people or
0:19:14 > 0:19:15one of the actors.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Here is our image.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Ah, yes. Yes, yes, yes.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Harry, it will be you first, once you've had a moment to digest.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32OK, yep, I think I'll go with
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Robert De Niro and Jake LaMotta.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Oh!
0:19:36 > 0:19:37- We only need one.- Oh, sorry.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- Either the actor or the real person. - I'll go with Jake LaMotta.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43That simply means that Paul can't use the other answer that you
0:19:43 > 0:19:44gave, but anybody else can.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- Sorry.- That's all right. - Jake LaMotta, says Harry.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jake LaMotta.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Is right.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Jake LaMotta, 10. Very well done indeed, Harry. Good answer.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Yeah, the boxer Jake LaMotta. Raging Bull, they called him.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Thank you very much indeed. Soph,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15who would you like to go for on this board?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Well, I have no idea.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22So I'm going to go for Robert De Niro.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24"Ah, that's Robert De Niro there."
0:20:24 > 0:20:27OK, right. Well, let's see how many of our
0:20:27 > 0:20:29100 people said Robert De Niro. Is it right?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34It is right.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38That's not bad.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Yeah, Robert De Niro. Of course, he played Jake LaMotta.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- So there you go, we have our first pair on the board.- Snap!
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- That's nice. 46.- Very good.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54- Thank you, Richard. Now then, Sue.- Hello.- Sue.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Yes, this is not my favourite round,
0:20:57 > 0:21:02but I'm going to have to stab at Ben Kingsley.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Ben Kingsley, says Sue.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Let's see how many of our 100 people said Ben Kingsley.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13It's right. 46 is our high score.
0:21:13 > 0:21:1553 is our new high score.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Yes, Sir Ben Kingsley, of course.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Difficult to talk about people when they're matched up with other
0:21:23 > 0:21:26people on the board, without mentioning the other people.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27But I'm not going to.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Sir Ben Kingsley will be pleased that he scores more
0:21:30 > 0:21:32than Robert De Niro.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33He will be very pleased.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35There we go. Thank you very much indeed.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37We are halfway through the round, let's look at those scores.
0:21:37 > 0:21:4010 was the best score of the pass. Harry, very well done to you.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Harry and Paul looking very strong on the back of it.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Then 46, where we find got Soph and Tom.
0:21:44 > 0:21:4653 is where we find Sue and Alan.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Alan, time for you to return the favour, I think.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52You are just, by a small margin, you are the high-scorers.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53We come back down the line now,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:58 > 0:22:03So, Alan, we're after any individual person shown here
0:22:03 > 0:22:05in photograph form.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Yes, I do owe Sue a good score here, don't I?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Whether I'm going to do it or not, I don't know.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13I'm going to go for one I'm pretty sure of, which is Daniel Radcliffe.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Daniel Radcliffe, says Alan.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17OK, no red line for you, as you are the high-scorers.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Let's see how many of our 100 people said Daniel Radcliffe.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24It's right.
0:22:26 > 0:22:2944 for Daniel Radcliffe.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Takes your total up to 97.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Now, Daniel Radcliffe is a regular viewer of the show, a fan.- He is.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38He is going to be fuming about scoring less than
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Robert De Niro, especially Ben Kingsley.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- If I know Radcliffe, he'll be kicking the screen.- He will be...
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Oh, there's the telly being thrown out!
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Thank you very much indeed. So then, Tom.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51There you are, 46.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53You have to score 50.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- 50?- Or less.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57I can do less.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Looking at the board, I'm going to go with...
0:23:00 > 0:23:03..a bit of a hero of mine, and go Johnny Cash.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Johnny cash, says Tom.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Let's see how many of our 100 people said Johnny Cash.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Here is your red line.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10It's right.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Good enough, Tom. Down to 38.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Very nice, 84 is your total.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Yeah, a bit of a hero of mine as well, Johnny Cash.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Genuine, his name growing up was JR Cash,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26and it was only when he joined the Air Force, they said,
0:23:26 > 0:23:31"You can't just be called initials," so he called himself John R Cash.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Hm. Yeah. Thank you.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Now, Paul. Paul...
0:23:36 > 0:23:40You have to score 86 or less.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Well, there's only one I THINK I know, and that's...
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I'm going to go with Gandhi.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50OK, Gandhi. Hard to call, this one, isn't it?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52There's your red line. I mean...
0:23:53 > 0:23:55..quite a recognisable person on that board,
0:23:55 > 0:23:59but, well, we'll have to see how many of our 100 people said Gandhi.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04It's right. And you're through.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- 75.- The only one I knew.
0:24:07 > 0:24:0975, takes your total up to 85.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Yeah, kind of good that he scored more than Ben Kingsley, in some ways.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize five times, never won it.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Always very good,
0:24:19 > 0:24:21when they do the panning shots of all the nominees, he'd always do the
0:24:21 > 0:24:24smiling thing, and then when someone else won it, he'd always go...
0:24:24 > 0:24:25But you could see...
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- You could see.- Especially by the fifth time.- Yeah, yeah.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Yeah, he was furious.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Now, Daniel Radcliffe played the gentleman next to him there.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I was going to say Dostoyevsky, but it's not.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- It's not, it's Allen Ginsberg. - Oh, it's Allen Ginsberg!
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Yeah, in Kill Your Darlings. That would have scored 3 points.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44- Now, Julia Roberts, of course. - Erin Brockovich.- Yeah.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Would have scored you 11 points.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49And Julia Roberts would have scored you...
0:24:49 > 0:24:50..52 points.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54- Coco Chanel is next. - And Audrey Tautou.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Played by Audrey Tautou.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59- I've got an Audrey tattoo, just... - 8 points. Nice.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Now, Jennifer Lawrence is the actor.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06In the film Joy, she played Joy Mangano, the American inventor
0:25:06 > 0:25:07who invented the Miracle Mop.
0:25:07 > 0:25:0918 points for Jennifer Lawrence,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12And Joy Mangano would've scored you 1 point. Terrific answer.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Johnny Cash was played by...
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- Joaquin Phoenix.- Joaquin Phoenix.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18He would have scored you 13 points.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20In Walk The Line, and Don Cheadle...
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- Playing Miles Davis. - Played Miles Davis, yeah.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24Don Cheadle would have scored you 7,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27and Miles Davis would have scored you 5.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Miles Davis looks like sort of Beethoven there, I think.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- He was cool, wasn't he?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Aha. Well, there are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36So, we're at the end of our second round, we have to say goodbye...
0:25:36 > 0:25:39So sorry, Round Two. It's just the curse of Round Two, I'm so sorry.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Well, Sue and Alan, it's been lovely having you with us.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Thank you so much for playing. I'm sorry we haven't seen you
0:25:44 > 0:25:46beyond Round Two at all, but it's been a great performance.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- Alan and Sue, great contestants. - Thank you.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Congratulations, Paul and Harry, Soph and Tom.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01You are now one step closer to the final
0:26:01 > 0:26:03and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:26:03 > 0:26:05which currently stands at £4,000.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08AUDIENCE OHS AND AHS
0:26:08 > 0:26:10But here we are, in the head-to-head, which means
0:26:10 > 0:26:12you can start playing as a team, you can
0:26:12 > 0:26:13chat before you give your answers,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16and the first pair to win two questions will be playing for
0:26:16 > 0:26:18that jackpot, so best of luck to both pairs.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Here is your first question, and it concerns...
0:26:31 > 0:26:32- Richard.- Hm.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35We're going to show you five boards now from board games,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- but can you tell us the names of the games, please?- Oh!
0:26:37 > 0:26:39This is going to be fun.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Let's reveal our five boards. What are these games?
0:26:41 > 0:26:42We have got...
0:27:17 > 0:27:19There we are. Five boards, what are the games?
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Paul and Harry, you are our low-scorers,
0:27:21 > 0:27:22so you will go first.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35I'm going to go with answer C, and I think answer C is Mastermind.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Mastermind, say Paul and Harry. Mastermind.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Soph and Tom are giving that a vigorous nod.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42It looks like that's the one you'd have liked to have gone for.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Do you want to talk us through the rest of that board?
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- Yeah, A is Mousetrap. - B, we've got chess.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50D is Subbuteo. Is that right?
0:27:50 > 0:27:53And E, Trivial Pursuit.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Oh, I don't know!
0:27:55 > 0:27:56A, Mousetrap.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00A, Mousetrap. So we have Mastermind and we have Mousetrap.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02So, Paul and Harry went for Mastermind for C.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Let's see how many of our 100 people said Mastermind.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09It's right.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Down to 19, very well done.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21I suspect that will be hard to beat.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24But Soph and Tom have gone for Mousetrap for A.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Let's see how many of our 100 people said Mousetrap.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32It is Mousetrap.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34Oh, 67 for Mousetrap.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Very well done, Paul and Harry. After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44We'll leave B for a moment and we'll start with D.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46So, D is Subbuteo.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49It would have scored you 66 points.
0:28:49 > 0:28:50We were talking about 1970 earlier,
0:28:50 > 0:28:53and a guy called Peter Adolph came up with Subbuteo,
0:28:53 > 0:28:56and he sold it in 1970 to Waddington Games
0:28:56 > 0:28:58for £250,000.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02Which, if you think about 1970, that's a lot of money,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04lot of money. And talking of making a lot of money,
0:29:04 > 0:29:05this game certainly did.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Trivial Pursuit, you're right.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10That would have scored you 53.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Now, B is chess.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14What do you think that scored?
0:29:14 > 0:29:18I would have hoped... I would've hoped 100.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- We don't get very many 100 points. - We don't.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- I think we've had three or four in the history of Pointless.- Yeah.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26And this is our fourth or fifth. It's 100 points.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Well done to our 100.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Very good. Thank you very much. Here comes your second question.
0:29:31 > 0:29:32Soph and Tom, you get to answer it first,
0:29:32 > 0:29:35but you have to win it to stay in the game, so good luck.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Our second question today is all about...
0:29:40 > 0:29:41Richard.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Yeah, five clues now to facts about the Nobel Peace Prize,
0:29:44 > 0:29:47one of which I am hoping has nothing to do with Mahatma Gandhi,
0:29:47 > 0:29:48otherwise I'm in trouble.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52Yeah. OK, let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15I'll read those all again.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34There we are. Soph and Tom will go first.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Do you know that girl's name?
0:30:36 > 0:30:37Malala?
0:30:37 > 0:30:39- Oh, something like that.- Yeah.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Yeah, just have a guess.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44We think we know the first name of the youngest person,
0:30:44 > 0:30:48and was that Malala?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Malala, say Soph and Tom. Now then, Paul and Harry.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Talk us through the board.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Um...
0:30:55 > 0:30:59We think the top one could be Sweden.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Or Norway!
0:31:01 > 0:31:04We think the Russian author is Tolstoy.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06The South African is Nelson Mandela.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09And the year, we're not sure about.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Um, and I don't think there's anything there that can beat
0:31:12 > 0:31:14the answer that's already gone.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16But I think we'll go with Tolstoy, as the Russian author.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18OK, you will go with Tolstoy.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20So, we have Malala and we have Tolstoy.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Soph and Tom said Malala,
0:31:22 > 0:31:24let's see how many of our 100 people said Malala.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29It's right, it is indeed Malala.
0:31:33 > 0:31:3518 for Malala.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Meanwhile, Paul and Harry have gone for Leo Tolstoy,
0:31:40 > 0:31:42let's see if that's right for War and Peace,
0:31:42 > 0:31:44let's see how many of our 100 people said Tolstoy.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50It's right.
0:31:52 > 0:31:5451.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Well done, Soph and Tom, back in the game.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- After two questions, it's 1-1. - Yeah, the wonderful Malala.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01There is a couple of answers that would have beaten it.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04In fact, if you'd guessed the country, you could have beaten it.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06You were thinking of either Norway or Sweden,
0:32:06 > 0:32:08- what do you think you would have said?- Sweden.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Actually, most Nobel prizes are awarded in Sweden.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12This one, though, is Norway.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15It would have scored you 13 points.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17You're right about Mandela, would have scored too many points,
0:32:17 > 0:32:20would have scored you 43.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23And the year it was first awarded was 1901,
0:32:23 > 0:32:25and that was a pointless answer, so well done if you said that.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Here comes your third question.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:32:30 > 0:32:32and plays for the jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Our third question today is all about...
0:32:37 > 0:32:38Richard.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40We're going to show you the names of five Canadian cities now,
0:32:40 > 0:32:42but with alternate letters removed.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- Can you tell us what the cities are, please?- Thanks very much.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Let's reveal our five cities, and here they come.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00I'll read those all again.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11There we are. Paul and Harry will go first.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15THEY CONFER
0:33:20 > 0:33:24The bottom one, we think that's Calgary.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Calgary, say Paul and Harry.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30Now then, Soph and Tom, do you want to talk us through the board?
0:33:30 > 0:33:31Um...
0:33:31 > 0:33:33We were looking at that.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35They've got Vancouver there.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36And Quebec City.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40What do you want to go for? You just pick one.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44Let's go Quebec City.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Quebec City, say Soph and Tom.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48So, we have Calgary and we have Quebec City.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Paul and Harry said Calgary,
0:33:50 > 0:33:52let's see how many of our 100 people agree with them.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56It's right.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Down to 33, not bad at all.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Let's see where we end up with Quebec City,
0:34:04 > 0:34:06which Soph and Tom have gone for.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Quebec City.
0:34:11 > 0:34:12It's right.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17And there we are, 50 for Quebec City,
0:34:17 > 0:34:20and that means very well done indeed, Paul and Harry,
0:34:20 > 0:34:23after three questions, you are through to the final 2-1.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Yeah, there's one more easy one up there, a couple of tough ones.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Vancouver down the bottom there,
0:34:28 > 0:34:30that would have scored you 82 points.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32The other two are harder, though.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35The one at the top, it's very near Toronto, this one.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39Mississauga. Would have scored you 11 points.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42And the other one is the capital of New Brunswick,
0:34:42 > 0:34:47and it's Fredericton, and that would have scored you nine points.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- Very well done if you said that at home.- Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, it's Soph and Tom.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57Very strong performance across the show today, we'll see you again next time, when I'm sure you'll do
0:34:57 > 0:35:01just as well, if not better. But meantime, thanks very much for playing, Soph and Tom.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03- Well done.- Thank you.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08But for Harry and Paul, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Congratulations, Paul and Harry.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15You have fought off all the competition
0:35:15 > 0:35:17and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £4,000.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30There it is.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Well, finally, finally,
0:35:34 > 0:35:36you make it through to the final.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Last time, you were our golden couple, this time,
0:35:38 > 0:35:41you are our golden couple, and this time you've made it through.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44What would you like to see come up in this round?
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- Sport.- Anything on beer or Athletic would be great.
0:35:49 > 0:35:50Paul?
0:35:50 > 0:35:51Science, I think.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54That hasn't come up so far, so I hope it'll come up now.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56OK, well, let's see what's on the board.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Today's categories for this round are...
0:36:07 > 0:36:09The opera, we're definitely not going for.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11I don't think either of us are very keen on opera.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14I'm not so sure about 21st-century anything, really,
0:36:14 > 0:36:16I'm a 20th-century guy.
0:36:16 > 0:36:17Shall we go for the sport?
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Yeah, I think sports, yeah. Yeah, I think there might be some
0:36:20 > 0:36:22oddball ones in X, Y and Z in Sport,
0:36:22 > 0:36:24- we should be able to pull something from there.- OK, yeah.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28- OK, X, Y and Z in Sport. Richard? - Very best of luck, gents,
0:36:28 > 0:36:31you've got a real chance on this one, I would say.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Looking for any of the following, please.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36We are looking for any men's golfing major winner with an X, Y or Z
0:36:36 > 0:36:39in their surname, that's all the way through from 1860 to 2016.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42We're looking for any man or woman who's won a Grand Slam
0:36:42 > 0:36:46tennis major in the Open era, '68 through to 2016,
0:36:46 > 0:36:48with an X, Y or Z in their surname.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Or any horse that's won the Grand National post-war,
0:36:50 > 0:36:52so, '46 to 2016.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53So, men's golfing major winners,
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Open era tennis major winners, men or women,
0:36:56 > 0:36:57or any Grand National horse.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59- Very best of luck. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with
0:37:02 > 0:37:04three answers, and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one
0:37:04 > 0:37:06of your answers to be pointless.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- Are you ready? BOTH:- Yes.
0:37:08 > 0:37:09Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Your time starts now.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Um, I think...
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Well, first one, the middle one, for tennis,
0:37:16 > 0:37:18I would have gone for someone like Yannick Noah.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20The Grand National one...
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Um, X...
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Golfers...
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Young, go for something like that.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Any tennis players...? Um...
0:37:34 > 0:37:36THEY CONFER
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Oh, what's she called...?
0:37:48 > 0:37:49The tennis player, the...
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Um, the Spanish one, there's a Spanish one,
0:37:51 > 0:37:55a female tennis player, um... Oh, what's she called?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- Hernandez?- Hernandez, yeah.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Um... Oh... Conchita...
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Conchita...Sanchez.
0:38:04 > 0:38:09Sanchez, yeah, I think she's called Conchita Sanchez.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11So, Yannick Noah, and, um...
0:38:11 > 0:38:13That, I'm afraid, is your time up.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Phew! You did some proper searching there, racking your brains.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20- Yeah.- What have you come up with? Let's have your three answers.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23The golfing, we're just going to pick something at random,
0:38:23 > 0:38:25we'll go after my surname, so we'll call it Ben Young.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Ben Young.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30In tennis, Yannick Noah.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Yannick Noah.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- Um...- Conchita...- Conchita Martinez.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- Conchita Martinez.- In tennis again.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41In tennis. OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- I think Conchita Martinez. - Conchita Martinez goes last.
0:38:44 > 0:38:45Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- BOTH:- Ben Young!
0:38:47 > 0:38:50OK, well, let's put the answers up on the board in that order, then,
0:38:50 > 0:38:52and here they are.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00Three good answers on the board there, nice jackpot of four grand,
0:39:00 > 0:39:04nice and easy bit of maths to split that between you as well, I like that.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06What would you like to do with your share of that, Paul, if you won?
0:39:06 > 0:39:10Um, we're going away next year to Canada, me and my wife,
0:39:10 > 0:39:12so, that'll go towards that.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Very nice indeed. Harry, how about you?
0:39:15 > 0:39:18My partner and I, Ruth, are just in the process of buying a narrow boat,
0:39:18 > 0:39:22- so the money will come in very handy...- Oh, that'll be handy!
0:39:22 > 0:39:23- Absolutely.- Very nice indeed.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26OK, well, lovely things to do with your prize money if you win.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Let's hope you do. Ben Young was the first answer
0:39:29 > 0:39:30you went for, one you've made up, in fact.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33We were looking for golfing major winners. You never know.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35One of these days, a made-up name is going to win.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38It has to be pointless, obviously, for you to win that jackpot,
0:39:38 > 0:39:40so, for £4,000, let's see if anyone said Ben Young.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Let's see if Ben Young exists.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47No Ben Young. As yet!
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Let's move quickly to your next answer, which is Yannick Noah.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52In this case, we were looking for tennis players,
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Open era tennis major winners.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58Let's see if this is pointless - if it is, it wins you £4,000.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Yannick Noah, how many people said it?
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Oh, bad luck. Incorrect answer.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09We move on to your third and final answer,
0:40:09 > 0:40:10which is Conchita Martinez.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Took quite a lot of time for you to find this.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Sort of one letter at a time, it sort of dawned.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16It was exhilarating to watch!
0:40:16 > 0:40:21But we found her. There we are. Now, if Conchita Martinez is pointless,
0:40:21 > 0:40:23you leave here with £4,000.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Again, we're looking for tennis players.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Let's see how many of our 100 people said Conchita Martinez.
0:40:28 > 0:40:29Is it pointless?
0:40:32 > 0:40:34It's right, we've found a correct answer.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Ben Young was incorrect,
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Yannick Noah was incorrect.
0:40:38 > 0:40:39Conchita Martinez - absolutely correct,
0:40:39 > 0:40:42taking us down through the teens, into single figures,
0:40:42 > 0:40:44down it goes, still going down, still going down...
0:40:44 > 0:40:48There we are! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:40:48 > 0:40:49Very well done indeed.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56- Thunderbolt!- Very well done indeed.
0:40:56 > 0:41:01Fantastic! There you are, the holiday, the narrow boat,
0:41:01 > 0:41:03all falling into place.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Conchita Martinez was a pointless answer,
0:41:05 > 0:41:08which means you go home with that jackpot of £4,000.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12Very well done, Paul and Harry. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Yeah, very well played, gents. You were going to give us
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Conchita Sanchez, because you'd mixed up Conchita Martinez
0:41:17 > 0:41:20and Arantxa Sanchez Vicario, who would have scored you two points.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Almost every single answer on every single one of these lists
0:41:22 > 0:41:25is pointless, there are so many very well-known pointless answers here,
0:41:25 > 0:41:29it's an absolute gimme, so well done, Conchita Martinez, a terrific answer.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Yannick Noah doesn't have one of those letters in his surname.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35- Oh, yes, of course!- The surname!
0:41:35 > 0:41:36Oh, yeah!
0:41:36 > 0:41:38But you know what - who cares, right?
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Because Conchita Martinez does.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Let's take a look at the men's golfing winners.
0:41:43 > 0:41:44Some big names here.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51You could have had Bob Tway,
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Charl Schwartzel, Gene Sarazen, Geoff Ogilvy,
0:41:53 > 0:41:55John Daly, Keegan Bradley, Lee Janzen,
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Martin Kaymer, Paul Azinger, Ray Floyd.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Everyone apart from Rory McIlroy, Fuzzy Zoeller,
0:42:00 > 0:42:01Sandy Lyle, Gary Player,
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Larry Mize, who I know lots of people would have said,
0:42:03 > 0:42:05and Jim Furyk, they are the only ones who scored any points.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Every single other answer, there's lots of them, was pointless.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10These tennis major winners.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Carlos Moya, who won the French Open.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Chris Evert Lloyd won some of her titles when she was called that.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20You could have had Anastasia Myskina,
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Andreas Gomez, the Ecuadorian,
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Ann Haydon-Jones would have been a lovely answer,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Evonne Goolagong Cawley, Garbina Muguruza, Virginia Ruzici,
0:42:27 > 0:42:29all of those, pointless answers.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32There were only two who scored any points at all there,
0:42:32 > 0:42:34that was Andy Murray and Arantxa Sanchez Vicario.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37And she only scores because she's got an X in her first name,
0:42:37 > 0:42:39which is what I'm sure drew people's minds to it.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42And the horses, loads of pointless answers here as well.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Every horse apart from Party Politics, Many Clouds,
0:42:48 > 0:42:52Lord Gyllene and Oxo, every single other one was a pointless answer.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Very well done if you got one at home,
0:42:54 > 0:42:56and congratulations in the studio.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Thank you very much indeed, Richard, and thanks once again to our winning
0:42:59 > 0:43:01players, Paul and Harry, who go away with today's jackpot of £4,000.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05Very well done. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Join us next time,
0:43:07 > 0:43:10when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
