0:00:20 > 0:00:21Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:25the game where we aim for the obscure
0:00:25 > 0:00:28and we ignore the obvious. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Hi, I'm Lynne from Warrington,
0:00:35 > 0:00:38and this is my good friend Helen from Leeds.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- Couple number two.- I'm James, I'm from Bury in Lancashire.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43This is my friend Tony, who's living in East Kilbride,
0:00:43 > 0:00:45but he's originally from Salford.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Soph, this is my twin brother Tom.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49We're both from Leighton Buzzard.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51And, finally, number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi, Xander, I'm Nic, this is my daughter Kalmia,
0:00:53 > 0:00:55we're from Bournemouth.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Thank you very much, all of you.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01A very warm welcome to the show. Lovely to have you with us.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03We'll have a chance to chat a little bit more
0:01:03 > 0:01:05throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09He has a brain the size of a planet
0:01:09 > 0:01:11and feet the size of the Lake District.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Hiya. Hi, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Afternoon to you, sir.- Afternoon.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- How are you? - I'm very well, thank you.- Excellent.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Welcoming back two pairs, our twins on podium three, there,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Soph and Tom, welcome back, and Helen and Lynne,
0:01:27 > 0:01:29they were on podium one last time as well.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- I know! Same podium.- I know. Lynne led us off last time,
0:01:31 > 0:01:33and, sometimes, if you're on podium one and you lead us off,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35people get 100 points. Which did not happen,
0:01:35 > 0:01:39it didn't happen in that case. She got 97 points.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40So, knocked out in Round One.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Hopefully we'll see a lot more of you this time.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Now, James has come to us from Bury, and, of course,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49one of our finalists, Harry and Paul, last time, were from Bury,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51and took home the jackpot to Bury as well.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54They're going to bury it? Is that what they're...?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Yes, they've taken home the jackpot to bury...in Oldham.- Yeah!
0:01:57 > 0:02:00That's what they're doing. But, yeah, so, maybe
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- two Bury winners in a row, you never know.- That would be nice.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Thank you very much. Well, Paul and Harry won the jackpot last time,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000, there it is.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18So, at the end of each round,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21the pair with the highest score will be eliminated.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23That's how it's going to work.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26So, keep your scores nice and low and you have nothing to worry about.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Our first category today is...
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:35 > 0:02:36who's going to go second,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:49 > 0:02:50- Richard?- On each board,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53we're going to show you seven clues to people who've famously broken
0:02:53 > 0:02:54records in sport or adventure.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Can you tell us who they are, please?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- Adventure records. - Adventure records.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00I like that. Thank you very much.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02OK, let's reveal our first board of clues.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05And here they are. All record breakers of one kind or another.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I'm going to read those all again.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Well, Helen, welcome back.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Remind us what you do, Helen.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35- I'm a GP.- You are a GP, and when not being a GP, what do you get up to?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Um, I like music, I like going to see live music.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40And you're a pianist, we discovered.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43And I play the piano, I wouldn't say I'm a pianist!
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Oh, no, I think you can say you're a pianist, can't you?
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Yes, what sort of music do you like going to see?- Um, all sorts.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55So, last year, I've seen Florence And The Machine,
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Stone Roses,
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Fleetwood Mac...
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Wow! That must have been exciting. Fleetwood Mac, where did you see them?
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- At Leeds Arena. - Fantastic. Now, Helen,
0:05:04 > 0:05:07we're going to see you well beyond Round One this time, think.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10How do you like this board?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Um, I only know three of them.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16I'm going to go for the top one, I think it's Michael Phelps.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Michael Phelps, says Helen.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Let's see how many of our 100 people said Michael Phelps.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23It's right.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Look at that, 35 for Michael Phelps.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Very well done indeed.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Yeah, at his first Games in 2000, didn't win a single medal.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38And he's picked up since then.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41He has a bit, yeah! I mean, 23 golds...
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Yeah, it's a lot of gold medals. He doesn't wear them all at once.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Well, he wouldn't, he'd be like BA Baracus.- Unless he's on a date.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- Yeah.- On a first date sometimes he will.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52And he'll go, "Oh, what, these?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56"Sorry, I didn't realise I had them on.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- "Let me talk you through them..." - Wow.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Yeah.- There you go, thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Now, James, welcome to Pointless, good to have you here.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- What do you do, James? - I'm a communications officer.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08In what sort of communications?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Well, most recently in social housing.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14So, I used to put together magazines for social housing residents
0:06:14 > 0:06:16and also looked after the internal communications
0:06:16 > 0:06:18at the company as well.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I see, very good. And what are your hobbies, James?
0:06:20 > 0:06:24I'm a big football fan. I'm a season ticket holder at Bury, in League 1.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27And I've written a book about the club as well, so I do enjoy writing.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30So, you take Bury very, very, very seriously.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Are you sort of honoured as a kind of archivist of the club?
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Um, I wouldn't say that exactly, but the book has sold quite well,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39and it was all about one particular season in the club's history,
0:06:39 > 0:06:44and I had to track down 15 players who played for the club in 1985,
0:06:44 > 0:06:45to various points around the world.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Wow. Very good. Well, congratulations.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51James, what would you like to go for on the board?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I think the Oscar-winning French ocean explorer
0:06:53 > 0:06:57who lived underwater for 30 days in 1963 is Jacques Cousteau.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Jacques Cousteau, says James.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jacques Cousteau.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05It's right.
0:07:07 > 0:07:1043 for Jacques Cousteau.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18His record, that record, was beaten in 2014.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21So, you'd think he'd be gutted, but it was beaten by his grandson.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- Oh, that's nice.- That's nice, isn't it? Fabien Cousteau.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Thank you, Richard. Tom, welcome back.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Now, head-to-head last time.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Yes.- Very impressive.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Remind us what you do, Tom.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I'm an online sales consultant for a furniture retailer.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Nice, and do you get a lot... How much is online consulting
0:07:39 > 0:07:41and how much time do you get for a bit of chitchat?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Depends how busy it is.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46If my manager's watching, no time for chitchat!
0:07:46 > 0:07:50No, it's... Quiet periods, you can kind of put your feet...
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Not up, but off the pedal a bit.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53There's a pedal?!
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Oh, it's a very complicated process. - Sounds like it! Tom,
0:07:57 > 0:08:00what would you like to go for on our board of record breakers here?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Um, I wish I knew more.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Um, I'm going to go between two, just a bit of damage limitation,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09and go for the rower who won his fifth consecutive gold,
0:08:09 > 0:08:11and that was Sir Steve Redgrave.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Steve Redgrave, says Tom.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20It's right. 43 is the high score, 35's the low.
0:08:20 > 0:08:2254 is the new high score.
0:08:23 > 0:08:2554 for Steve Redgrave.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Yeah, also won Sports Personality Of The Year. He asked a question
0:08:28 > 0:08:31for us, didn't he, on our Sports Personality Of The Year Special?
0:08:31 > 0:08:32- He did, Sir Steve.- Sir Steve!
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Very nice.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Thank you, Richard. Now, then, Nic, welcome.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Very good to have you here, Nic.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40- What do you do?- I'm a tutor
0:08:40 > 0:08:42at Bournemouth University International College.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- What do you "tute"?- I tute language,
0:08:45 > 0:08:49I tute academic skills and I tute tourism and hospitality management
0:08:49 > 0:08:52to international students coming into the country,
0:08:52 > 0:08:53entering British universities.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Oh, that's nice. And showing them some hospitality at the same time?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Yes, trying to!
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Very good. Now, Nic, this board's all yours.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02How would you feel about filling in all the blanks for us?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Um, I don't know the cyclist.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Usain Bolt is clearly the sprinter.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11I would like to take a punt on the very last one,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14but, at this early stage,
0:09:14 > 0:09:15I'm going to go with the third one,
0:09:15 > 0:09:18the tennis player, John Isner.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23John Isner. Just for fun, tell us what WC you would have gone for.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Wilt Chamberlain.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27OK, well, you've gone for John Isner, though,
0:09:27 > 0:09:28for the tennis player.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Let's see how many of our 100 people said John Isner.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35It is right.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36ISNER wrong!
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Come on!
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Oh, look at that, 13, very well done indeed, Nic.
0:09:41 > 0:09:4313.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Very strong indeed.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Yeah, well played, Nic, it's a terrific answer.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50It really will never, ever be seen again, I suspect,
0:09:50 > 0:09:5270-68 in that final set.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55The final set alone had more games than any other entire match
0:09:55 > 0:09:59in the history of Wimbledon. It was absolutely unbelievable.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01It was amazing to watch, it was compelling.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Hypnotic. Now,
0:10:03 > 0:10:04the WC, I was thinking,
0:10:04 > 0:10:07is it Wilt Chamberlain or Walt Chamberlain?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10And it is Wilt Chamberlain. Would have scored you one point.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Would have been a terrific answer.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- But at least everyone knows you knew.- Yup.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Usain Bolt scores more than that, of course.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18He would have scored you 65 points.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21And there is a pointless answer up there.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Very well done if you knew. It's Juliana Buhring.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Juliana Buhring.- There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:29 > 0:10:3213, Nic, look at that. Fabulous low score, the best of the round.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Then we travel up to 35,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36where we find Helen and Lynne.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Up to 43, James and Tony.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Then up to 54, Tom and Soph.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41A little bit ahead there, Soph.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43So, is this
0:10:43 > 0:10:44a good category for you?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- Not really.- Good. Well, best of luck
0:10:46 > 0:10:48with the next pass. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Let's put seven more record breakers up on the board,
0:10:57 > 0:10:58and here they come. We have got...
0:11:38 > 0:11:39I'll read them all again.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Now then, Kalmia, welcome to Pointless,
0:12:19 > 0:12:20- good to have you here.- Thank you. - What do you do?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I'm a flight attendant.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Very nice indeed.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25How long have you done that for?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Since 2010, so about...
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- Yeah, a while.- That's a good while.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- And you clearly like it.- Yes.- You do long haul, or a mixture of...?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35A bit of both, bit of everything, yeah.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37And do you get to have a kip on long haul flights?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39It depends where you're going.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42It can range from...eight hours to four days.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- So...- Yeah.- Yeah.- I imagine...
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Yes, I mean, it is a very long time to be...to be in charge.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Four days would be a long time
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- to not have any sleep. - Yeah.- Wouldn't it?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- That is a long time. - That is a long time.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56It's a long flight as well.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Well, a lot of people like to fly several times around before landing, don't they?
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- Yes. Yeah.- Now, Kalmia, brilliant low score from Nic
0:13:04 > 0:13:06in the first pass. There you are on 13.
0:13:06 > 0:13:0840 or less is your target.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10This isn't great, to be honest.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I only confidently -
0:13:12 > 0:13:14well, I THINK confidently, know one,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17it's the British runner who broke the women's world record
0:13:17 > 0:13:19at the 2003 London Marathon,
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- I'll go Paula Radcliffe. - Paula Radcliffe, says Kalmia.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Let's see how many of our 100 people said
0:13:23 > 0:13:24Paula Radcliffe. Here is your red line -
0:13:24 > 0:13:27get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29How many people said Paula Radcliffe?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Not bad, 42.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Takes your total up to 55.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Good enough, I'd say.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Well played, Kalmia. Yeah, that should keep you safe and sound.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47She was on the show, wasn't she,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- when Steve Redgrave asked the question?- Yeah, she was.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51That was nice.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Thank you very much indeed. Now, Soph...
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- Yes.- Soph, welcome back. Remind us what you do.- I'm a barmaid.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- At the Golden Bell. - At the Golden Bell.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- Don't tell me you don't know the Golden Bell!- Everyone knows there.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04What's your nearest rival pub?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Don't say its name, obviously!
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- It's the Black Lion. - Oh, the Black Lion!
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I mean, it's obvious which is the goodie pub
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- and which is the baddie pub. - Golden Bell...- Exactly.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16SCARY VOICE: The Black Lion!
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- Oh...- Rivals, oh!
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Soph, now, ideally, to remain in the game,
0:14:22 > 0:14:24you will find a pointless answer.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28I know the cricketer.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32I'm sure he even turned on our Christmas lights one year.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34I just can't think of his last name.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37So, I'm going to have to go for Roger Bannister,
0:14:37 > 0:14:40for the athlete who ran a mile.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42OK, Roger Bannister. Here is your red line...
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I mean, you're not going to see it, it's there.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47It's a pointless red line.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48In more ways than one!
0:14:48 > 0:14:51But let's see how many of our 100 people said Roger Bannister.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56It is Roger Bannister.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59And it scores you 46.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Takes your total rather neatly up to 100 there.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Yeah, he was 25 years old at the time, Roger Bannister.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10The record now is 17 seconds quicker than that.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13About 3:43, Hicham El Guerrouj.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Although that's been there for 17 years.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Tony, welcome to Pointless,
0:15:19 > 0:15:21very good to have you here with us.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23What do you do, Tony?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- I'm a travel agent, Xander. - And where do you do
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- your travel agenting?- I work in
0:15:28 > 0:15:30a travel agent's in the city centre of Glasgow.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Oh, that's nice.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34I love the idea of there being still travel agencies. It's much nicer to talk to someone.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- It's all up here.- Exactly, Tony.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Who needs the internet when it's all up here?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42What are your interests? Well, travel, I've got to guess?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Yeah, travel. Generally I don't have interests,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47but having two young children...
0:15:47 > 0:15:49..basically now I spend my time pointing at things, saying,
0:15:49 > 0:15:51"Why's that left on? Why's this open?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56"Who's watching... Why's that on full bung?"
0:15:56 > 0:15:58That sort of thing. They're my hobbies these days.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- In fact...- Oh, that's nice.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02..I won't be in when this is on, so, kids,
0:16:02 > 0:16:04can one of you go upstairs and turn the bathroom light off,
0:16:04 > 0:16:07and another one go and turn the bedroom lights off?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Dad'll be home in a minute.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14The travel agency won't even let you home to watch Pointless,
0:16:14 > 0:16:18that's just... Working your fingers to the bone there, Tony!
0:16:19 > 0:16:20Now, there you are on 43,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23that was the score from James in the first pass.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24100 is the high score
0:16:24 > 0:16:25from Soph and Tom.
0:16:25 > 0:16:2756 or less
0:16:27 > 0:16:29is what you're aiming for.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31I know most of them.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35And will I know the cross-Channel swimmer's first name
0:16:35 > 0:16:38when you say it, I just can't put my finger on it.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40But I'm going to say the cricketer.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- Alastair Cook.- Alastair Cook, says Tony.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Here is your red line, if you can get below this red line
0:16:44 > 0:16:47with Alastair Cook, you are through to the next round.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Let's see how many of our 100 people said Alastair Cook.
0:16:53 > 0:16:5556 is what you need.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57And you've done it, very well done indeed.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Down it goes. Oh, down with room to spare.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01Down to 19.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Second lowest scorer of the round
0:17:03 > 0:17:04so far, Tony, very well done.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- 62 is your total.- Well played, Tony.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09The second youngest batsman to reach 5,000 runs after Tendulkar
0:17:09 > 0:17:11and the youngest to reach 10,000 runs.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12There we are. Now, Lynne,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15welcome back to Pointless. Remind us what you do, Lynne.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19I'm a partner in an insight and innovation agency.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Innovation agency.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23That is what we discovered last time.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- Yes.- What sort of innovations
0:17:25 > 0:17:26have we had so far this year?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Well, we tend to help brands with, you know,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30developing new products or services.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33So, crisps... Different flavours of crisps.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- So, you put your heads together and you think...- We help them...
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- ..chewing gum and mothballs! - ..put their heads together.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- Flavour combinations.- Yes.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Interesting, very interesting.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Now, there you are, 35 is your score,
0:17:45 > 0:17:47100 is the high score from Soph and Tom.
0:17:47 > 0:17:4964 or less is what we need from you.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- Would you like to talk us through the board, Lynne?- Yes, um...
0:17:53 > 0:17:54Well, Richard Branson...
0:17:54 > 0:17:58I think it's Matthew Webb, and, again, I was going to...
0:17:58 > 0:18:00I think it's Randolph Fiennes.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05I don't know the World Cup at all.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07I'm going to go for Matthew Webb.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Matthew Webb. Well, it's in there.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Surely, surely Matthew Webb. - I've tried.- You've tried, exactly.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14There is your red line,
0:18:14 > 0:18:17if you get below that red line with Matthew Webb, you are into Round Two.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Let's see how many of our 100 people said Matthew Webb, is it right?
0:18:22 > 0:18:23It is Matthew Webb.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26And you're in Round Two.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Look at that, four, the lowest score of the round,
0:18:31 > 0:18:34takes your total up to 39, the lowest total of the round.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39- Very well done indeed.- Well played, Lynne, great answer.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Richard Branson, it would have been more exciting
0:18:41 > 0:18:44if you'd said Richard Branson, because you'd be through
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- by one point if you had.- Oh, wow!
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Because he would have scored you 64 points.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51The British explorer, Ranulph Fiennes.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Would have scored 24.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56And the Brazilian footballer, also five times in a row
0:18:56 > 0:18:58the World Player of the Year, Marta.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Very well done if you said that, it's the best answer on the board.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Two points for that.- Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06So, we are at the end of our first round, and I'm afraid we have to say
0:19:06 > 0:19:09goodbye to Soph and Tom, our head-to-head playing couple
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- from last time.- We peaked too soon!
0:19:11 > 0:19:14I'm so sorry. Well, nothing wrong with either of your answers,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16they were just a little bit high-scoring.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Well, just a little bit higher scoring than everyone else's.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21It's been lovely having you, thank you so much,
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- Soph and Tom. - Thank you for having us.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35And, so, three pairs remain at the end of this round,
0:19:35 > 0:19:37we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Well, Lynne, the lowest individual scorer of that round,
0:19:40 > 0:19:42and Lynne and Helen actually the lowest combined score,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45so very well done indeed. But best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Our category for Round Two today is...
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Can you all decide in your pairs
0:19:51 > 0:19:53who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00OK, and the question concerns...
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- Country Borders, Richard?- Yeah, if only we had a travel agent,
0:20:06 > 0:20:10a flight attendant and a professor of tourism on the show today!
0:20:10 > 0:20:13In a moment, Xander's going to show you the names of five countries
0:20:13 > 0:20:16all beginning with C, we're looking for any country that borders
0:20:16 > 0:20:19one of the countries you're about to see, please. As always, by country,
0:20:19 > 0:20:22we mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24OK, as Richard just said, we're going to put five countries up
0:20:24 > 0:20:27on the board. They will remain there for the whole round,
0:20:27 > 0:20:29we won't be changing countries halfway through.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31You just have to think of any country that borders,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33shares a border, with one of these five countries,
0:20:33 > 0:20:35and here they are. We have got...
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I'm going to read those again.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Helen, over to you.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I'm going to go for Sierra Leone.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52OK, let us see
0:20:52 > 0:20:54how many of our 100 people said Sierra Leone,
0:20:54 > 0:20:55let's see if it's right.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Bad luck, Helen,
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I'm afraid not Sierra Leone,
0:21:01 > 0:21:03that scores you 100 points.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Yeah, it's not far off, though, actually, it's in the same area,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- but it doesn't border, I'm afraid. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11James?
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Um, not a great round for me, but I think it's a sovereign state,
0:21:15 > 0:21:17so I'm going to say Singapore.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Singapore, says James. Let's see if that's right,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22let's see how many of our 100 people said Singapore.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27No. Bad luck, I'm afraid,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29another incorrect answer, scores 100 points.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- Richard?- Yes, sorry, not Singapore,
0:21:31 > 0:21:35doesn't share a land border with any of those, I'm afraid.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Thank you very much indeed.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Now, Kalmia?
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Um, I've got a few sort of in mind,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44but I'm going to play with Mongolia.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Mongolia, good thing to play with.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Let's see how many of our 100 people said Mongolia.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53It's right.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59There we are, down to 27,
0:21:59 > 0:22:01very well done indeed, Kalmia.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Well played, Kalmia. It shares over 4,000km of border with China.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Thank you very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13let's take a look at the scores. Only two scores between
0:22:13 > 0:22:16the three pairs - 27 is our really top, low score there,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19very well done, Kalmia and Nic. Looking strong on the back of that.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Then, James and Tony and Helen and Lynne,
0:22:21 > 0:22:23there you all are, all drawn on 100.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25So, yes, let's see what happens in the next pass.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Whatever happens, we need a low score from you, though.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now,
0:22:31 > 0:22:33can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38OK, so, Nic,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40any country that shares a land border
0:22:40 > 0:22:42with any of these five countries.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48On the basis of Kalmia's answer, I'm going to play it a bit safe,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51I'm afraid, and I'm going to go Vietnam.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Vietnam, says Nic. Here is your red line,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55if you can score 72 or less,
0:22:55 > 0:22:57you're straight through to the next round.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00How many of our 100 people said Vietnam?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Well done, you're through.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Down to ten,
0:23:10 > 0:23:11very good indeed.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Taking your total up to 37.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Not mucking about on that final podium today, are they?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Very well done. Yeah, that shares over 1,000 kilometres
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- of border with China. - Thanks, Richard.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Now then, Tony?
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Hi, Xander. Right...
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Do I go safe...
0:23:29 > 0:23:30..or do I try and roll the dice?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35I think I'll try and roll the dice
0:23:35 > 0:23:37and say Laos.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Laos, says Tony.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Let's see how many of our 100 people said Laos.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44No red line for you, obviously, as you're joint high-scorers.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47It's right.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Well, our lowest individual score so far has been ten.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55You score four.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Very good indeed. Down to four, taking your total up to 104.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Great work, Tony. Yeah, another one that borders China,
0:24:03 > 0:24:06400km of land border.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Thank you very much, Richard.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Now then, Lynne. You have to score three or less.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Yes. I've got a few safe.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17I'm going to have to take a risk.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20- Go for Malawi.- Malawi, says Lynne.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Let's see how many of our 100 people said Malawi.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Here is your red line.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27It's quite low!
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Let's see if you can do it - Malawi?
0:24:32 > 0:24:33No, bad luck.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Bad luck, I'm afraid that is incorrect, scores you 100 points.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Takes your total up to 200. - Too far south, I'm afraid,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43but you had to take a risk. I'll go through some of the answers
0:24:43 > 0:24:45that would have seen you through, so anything that would have
0:24:45 > 0:24:46scored you three or fewer.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Cote d'Ivoire, you would have got one point for Guinea,
0:24:49 > 0:24:50one point for Burkina Faso.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Colombia, you'd have got three points for Panama.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56For China, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan were both pointless answers,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59very well done if you said one of them. And for Chad,
0:24:59 > 0:25:01you'd have got a pointless answer for Cameroon,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04and Libya would have scored you four points as well.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Czech Republic, all the answers are pretty big.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Germany, the best answer with 20, Poland 21, Austria 23, Slovakia 28.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our second round
0:25:14 > 0:25:17the pair we have to say goodbye to, with their high score of 200 -
0:25:17 > 0:25:18I'm so sorry, Lynne and Helen.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Our returning pairs just falling by the wayside,
0:25:21 > 0:25:22I'm sorry to say.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23But it's been lovely having you with us,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25I'm sorry we have to say goodbye now,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27but great contestants, Lynne and Helen.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29APPLAUSE
0:25:30 > 0:25:33But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Congratulations, Kalmia and Nic, James and Tony,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43you are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our
0:25:43 > 0:25:48jackpot, which currently stands at £1,000.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50The big news is you're now in the head-to-head,
0:25:50 > 0:25:52this means you can confer before you give your answers,
0:25:52 > 0:25:54and, in this round, the first pair to win two questions
0:25:54 > 0:25:56will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Here is your first question, and it concerns...
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Richard?- We're going to show you five stills now from horror films...
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Aahh!- I know.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- It'll be fine, you don't have to look.- OK.- You can look away.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Can you tell us the names of the films, please?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25OK, let's reveal our five horror stills,
0:26:25 > 0:26:27and here they are, good luck.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59There we are, five horror films.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Kalmia and Nic, you will go first.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05- NIC:- Oh, do we hate this!
0:27:05 > 0:27:08There's one absolute certainty, but
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I'm tempted with a punt.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Just go one of them.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14I'm going with D, The Omen.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17The Omen for D, say Kalmia and Nic.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Now, James and Tony, what would you like to go for?
0:27:19 > 0:27:21That was one of
0:27:21 > 0:27:23our certainties as well.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25But James is convinced
0:27:25 > 0:27:27he knows what C is.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28I'm going to take a punt on C,
0:27:28 > 0:27:30and I think it's called The Others.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33The Others, say James and Tony for C.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35So, we have The Omen and The Others. Kalmia and Nic
0:27:35 > 0:27:37said The Omen for D, let's see if that's right,
0:27:37 > 0:27:39let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43It's right.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46Come on!
0:27:46 > 0:27:4740.
0:27:50 > 0:27:5440 for The Omen. Now, James and Tony have gone for The Others for C.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55Let's see if that's right,
0:27:55 > 0:27:58let's see how many of our 100 people said The Others.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02It is right.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06And it wins you the point, very well done indeed.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07Down to 20.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09And that means, after one question,
0:28:09 > 0:28:12James and Tony, you are up 1-0.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16Yeah, well played, James, that's Nicole Kidman there in The Others.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18That's your first-ever film role, wasn't it, The Omen?
0:28:18 > 0:28:20You're looking very good there.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22- Thank you!- It's lovely, you should
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- wear that hat more often. - It still fits.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- Yeah, I bet it does. - It's elasticated at the back.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Now, A, I think, everybody avoided,
0:28:30 > 0:28:32quite rightly. It's Psycho.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Would have scored you 61 points.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40B, a more recent film, it's so scary!
0:28:40 > 0:28:42And it's The Babadook.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45The Babadook. Don't watch that film!
0:28:45 > 0:28:48- I'm scared...- Just four points. - ..just by that! Argh!- I know.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51But also, Hollywood are so brilliant at casting children
0:28:51 > 0:28:55- in horror films. There's a certain look to them.- Yes.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58- No spoilers!- That's a horror child look, isn't it?
0:28:58 > 0:28:59It is a horror child look.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03Um, and the last one is...
0:29:03 > 0:29:05- Nosferatu!- Nosferatu,
0:29:05 > 0:29:08and that would have scored you 24 points.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Thank you very much indeed.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12So, here comes your second question, and, yes,
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Kalmia and Nic, you have to win this one
0:29:15 > 0:29:16although James and Tony get to answer it first.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20So, good luck. Our second question is all about...
0:29:22 > 0:29:25LAUGHTER Richard?
0:29:25 > 0:29:28We're going to give you the set-ups to five fruit and veg based jokes,
0:29:28 > 0:29:30and alternate letters of the punch lines.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Can you tell us what those punch lines are, please?
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- Sophistication!- This is going to be fun!
0:29:34 > 0:29:37OK, let's reveal our gags, and here they come.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22James and Tony, what would you like to go for?
0:30:22 > 0:30:25We think we'll go for "What happens when you step on grapes?"
0:30:25 > 0:30:27"They whine."
0:30:27 > 0:30:29"They whine"!
0:30:29 > 0:30:32OK. Now, then, Kalmia and Nic.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35I think the top one's "Muscle sprouts."
0:30:35 > 0:30:36"A pair of slippers",
0:30:36 > 0:30:39"A hoarse radish",
0:30:39 > 0:30:41and "Because they cantaloupe."
0:30:43 > 0:30:46- "Hoarse radish"?- "Hoarse radish." - "A hoarse radish."
0:30:46 > 0:30:48"A hoarse radish." So we have "They whine", and we have
0:30:48 > 0:30:50"A hoarse radish." James and Tony went for "They whine",
0:30:50 > 0:30:52let's see how many people said that.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56It's right.
0:30:58 > 0:31:0042.
0:31:01 > 0:31:0642. Kalmia and Nic have gone for "A hoarse radish,"
0:31:06 > 0:31:09let's see how many of our 100 people went for that.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14It's right. 42 is what it has to beat,
0:31:14 > 0:31:16and it does!
0:31:17 > 0:31:1912.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Well done, Kalmia and Nic, back in the game.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Exactly what we needed there.
0:31:24 > 0:31:25After two questions it's 1-1.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Yeah, you chose the best scorer as well, so well played.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30"Muscle sprouts"
0:31:30 > 0:31:33would have scored you 27.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34"A pair of slippers..."
0:31:35 > 0:31:37..would have scored you 47,
0:31:37 > 0:31:39and "Because they cantaloupe..."
0:31:40 > 0:31:42..that would have scored you 25.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45There we are. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47So, it all comes down to the third question.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Whoever wins this one goes through to the final to play
0:31:50 > 0:31:52for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Our third question today is all about...
0:31:55 > 0:31:57LAUGHTER
0:31:57 > 0:32:00I thought we were having a little bit too much fun,
0:32:00 > 0:32:02what with all the joking and everything.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04I thought it was a bit much, so you'll have a proper...
0:32:04 > 0:32:06- Yes.- ..proper subject now.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Five clues to facts about pencils.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12OK? And the most obscure answer sees you through to the jackpot round,
0:32:12 > 0:32:14this is how it should be. If it was up to me,
0:32:14 > 0:32:16every question would be about pencils, just so you know.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19It's the BBC by and large that overrule me.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21I'd have had five pictures of pencils,
0:32:21 > 0:32:24then five jokes about pencils and then five facts about pencils.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27And Round Two would all have been about the states
0:32:27 > 0:32:28that border Pencil-vania.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Let's reveal our five clues to facts about pencils,
0:32:34 > 0:32:35and here they are.
0:32:59 > 0:33:00I will read those all again.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Now, Kalmia and Nic will go first.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25THEY CONFER
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- I know the top one. - And I know the last one.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30I know the second to bottom.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33OK, we're going to play "The band
0:33:33 > 0:33:35"whose video for the 1985 song
0:33:35 > 0:33:36"Take On Me featured..."
0:33:36 > 0:33:38..is A-ha.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40A-ha... OK. A-ha,
0:33:40 > 0:33:42say Kalmia and Nic.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43James and Tony, what would you like to go for?
0:33:46 > 0:33:48I think, or we think,
0:33:48 > 0:33:50the town where the Cumberland Pencil Museum opened in 1981
0:33:50 > 0:33:52is Keswick.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Keswick. So we have A-ha versus Keswick.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57So many times we've had that as a combination!
0:33:57 > 0:34:00That's my favourite thing about Pointless, some of the things
0:34:00 > 0:34:04that come up against each other. Finally, A-ha versus Keswick.
0:34:04 > 0:34:05Who's going to win?!
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Kalmia and Nic said A-ha,
0:34:09 > 0:34:11let's see how many of our 100 people said A-ha.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14It's right.
0:34:16 > 0:34:1862.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Meanwhile, James and Tony have gone for Keswick for the Pencil Museum,
0:34:23 > 0:34:25let's see how many people said Keswick.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29It's right.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32And it wins you the point, look at that.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33There we are, Keswick trouncing
0:34:33 > 0:34:35A-ha there. Down to 15.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Well done, James and Tony.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40After three questions,
0:34:40 > 0:34:42you are through to the final 2-1.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Very well played, and we should all go there, I think, after the show,
0:34:44 > 0:34:47- the Keswick Pencil Museum.- Yeah.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Now, the Rowan Atkinson sitcom, of course, or the character...
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Mr Bean.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52Not Mr Bean.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54No, it's Blackadder.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- Remember when he's trying to feign madness?- Oh, yes, yes!
0:34:57 > 0:35:00- Yeah, yeah, yeah.- Ah... - In Blackadder Goes Forth, ah.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01- 21 points.- Of course it is.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04This mineral is...
0:35:04 > 0:35:06- Graphite.- ..graphite.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07That would have scored you 37.
0:35:07 > 0:35:08And the artist...?
0:35:08 > 0:35:10- Picasso.- Picasso, Pablo Picasso.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11And he would have scored you 28,
0:35:11 > 0:35:13so Keswick was the best answer on the board, gents,
0:35:13 > 0:35:16- well played.- Thank you so much. So, the pair leaving us at the end
0:35:16 > 0:35:19of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid it's Kalmia and Nic. However, we'll see you again
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- next time.- Yes.- On the strength of today's performance,
0:35:22 > 0:35:26I'm sure you'll do just as well, if not one step better next time. But, meantime, thanks very much,
0:35:26 > 0:35:28- Kalmia and Nic.- Thank you.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33But for James and Tony, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Congratulations, James and Tony,
0:35:38 > 0:35:42you have fought off all the competition and you have won our coveted
0:35:42 > 0:35:43Pointless trophy.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:51 > 0:35:55and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,000.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Well, very, very impressive.
0:35:57 > 0:35:58Very impressive.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Right the way through the show, some lovely low scores we've had from you.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Great performance in the head-to-head.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06You know what happens in this last round,
0:36:06 > 0:36:07four options appear on the board behind me -
0:36:07 > 0:36:10you've got to hope there's something up there that you like the look of.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14Let's see what today's selection looks like, we have got...
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Births, Coronations and Deaths in British History is what I'd think...
0:36:29 > 0:36:31- That's my immediate instinct. - Is that esoteric enough for you?
0:36:31 > 0:36:34I don't know... Well, I don't know what Sporting Queens might be.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36- Yeah.- British History I do know.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38- Is that what we're going for?- Let's go for it.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40- Let's go for it, then.- OK.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42The British History one is the one you want.
0:36:42 > 0:36:43OK, very, very best of luck.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46We're looking for any of the following three, gents. We're looking for...
0:36:47 > 0:36:51The years of birth of any Stuart monarch,
0:36:51 > 0:36:54that's anyone from Robert II to Queen Anne, please.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58Any year of birth as long as it's undisputed, from the House of Stuart.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01We're looking for any English or British monarchs or their spouses who are
0:37:01 > 0:37:03buried in Westminster Abbey.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06A monarch or a spouse buried in Westminster Abbey.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Or the years of coronations of UK
0:37:08 > 0:37:10or British monarchs since 1700.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12So the years of birth of monarchs from the House of Stuart,
0:37:12 > 0:37:15monarchs and their spouses buried in Westminster Abbey,
0:37:15 > 0:37:18or the years of coronation for British monarchs since 1700.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Thanks very much. As always you've got up to one minute to come up
0:37:21 > 0:37:25with three answers, and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Are you ready?
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- As we'll ever be.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:30 > 0:37:31Your time starts now.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Monarchs and their spouses buried in Westminster Abbey,
0:37:33 > 0:37:35- I think they should be all three. - Go on, then.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- So all you've got to do is just name a few kings and queens.- Right.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42So maybe George IV...
0:37:42 > 0:37:46Right, OK. Someone a bit further back, like Richard of York or someone...?
0:37:46 > 0:37:48No, I mean you're looking at...
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- Think that's too obvious? - Richard III was buried in that car park in Leicester,
0:37:51 > 0:37:53so right up until... They weren't, you know,
0:37:53 > 0:37:55they weren't doing it in Westminster Abbey
0:37:55 > 0:37:57- right back in medieval history.- OK.
0:37:57 > 0:37:58Spouses. Erm...
0:37:58 > 0:38:02I think Prince Albert's probably a bit too obvious.
0:38:02 > 0:38:03Erm...
0:38:03 > 0:38:05William and Mary?
0:38:06 > 0:38:08No, I think they might be a bit later on...
0:38:08 > 0:38:09..a bit earlier as well.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13Er, George IV...
0:38:13 > 0:38:15- Er...- Edward...
0:38:15 > 0:38:16..VII?
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Yeah, let's go for Edward VII.
0:38:18 > 0:38:19George IV, Edward VII...
0:38:21 > 0:38:22Ten seconds left.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24Er...
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- Think of a wife. Who was Edward VII married to?- Erm...
0:38:28 > 0:38:32I can't remember. Prince Albert?
0:38:32 > 0:38:33OK. That is your time.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37Could you give me your three answers, please, and which category you're answering.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39We're going to take all three from monarchs and their spouses
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- buried in Westminster Abbey.- OK. Sounds sensible.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- I think the one that is least likely is Prince Albert.- Prince Albert...
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Er, and then...
0:38:47 > 0:38:51- Edward VII.- Edward VII. Yeah. - And George...
0:38:51 > 0:38:52V, did we say?
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- Yeah, George V.- George V. OK.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58- Of those three, you think Prince Albert's your least likely to be pointless...- Yes.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01We'll put Prince Albert first. Most likely to be pointless?
0:39:01 > 0:39:02Take your pick from the other two.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- Er...- George V.- George V.
0:39:05 > 0:39:06- Shall we do that?- Yes.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then,
0:39:09 > 0:39:12and here they are. We've got Prince Albert, we've got Edward VII,
0:39:12 > 0:39:14and we have got George V.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Well, very good luck. Three answers on the board there.
0:39:17 > 0:39:18If one of those turns out to be pointless,
0:39:18 > 0:39:21you will leave here with £1,000.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24What would you like to do with that? James, you first.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26I'd get my girlfriend something nice with that, I think.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Very nice. Tony, how about you?
0:39:28 > 0:39:31I have got some things that I'd like to do...
0:39:31 > 0:39:34- Yeah.- ..but I've got a list of things that we need to do.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38- Yeah.- So I think the things that we need to do would take over the things that I'd like to do.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42Get some timers for those light switches, which would be quite useful. You can get them.
0:39:42 > 0:39:43Wouldn't that be marvellous?
0:39:43 > 0:39:45They're pricey, though. Pricey!
0:39:45 > 0:39:49So what you gain on the electricity bills, you lose on the timers.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51They pay for themselves over time, they pay for themselves.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Over time, Tony, over time.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56OK, well, your first answer was Prince Albert.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00In all three cases we were looking for monarchs or their spouses
0:40:00 > 0:40:02buried at Westminster Abbey. Only one of them has to be pointless
0:40:02 > 0:40:04for you to win that jackpot. Let's find out.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Prince Albert your first answer.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10How many people said it? If it's right and if it's pointless, it'll win you £1,000.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Ooh. Bad luck.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19I'm afraid your first answer, Prince Albert, an incorrect answer.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Let's move swiftly on to your next answer, Edward VII.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26Let's find out how many of our 100 people named Edward VII as a monarch
0:40:26 > 0:40:28buried at Westminster Abbey.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30If it's pointless, it wins you £1,000.
0:40:34 > 0:40:35Ooh, no!
0:40:35 > 0:40:38- Not Edward VII.- Who'd have thought it?
0:40:38 > 0:40:40- Who?- If anyone deserves burying in Westminster Abbey, for all he did...
0:40:40 > 0:40:44- Someone named after a potato, surely!- Yeah.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47George V. Your third and final answer.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51This is the one you were hoping... You thought it was most likely to be pointless. Let's find out.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55George V, let's see how many of our 100 people said it. For £1,000,
0:40:55 > 0:40:56is it pointless?
0:41:00 > 0:41:02- AUDIENCE:- Aw!
0:41:04 > 0:41:05I mean, really...
0:41:06 > 0:41:09It begs the question, are any of them buried there?
0:41:09 > 0:41:13I'm afraid three incorrect answers there. It turned out to be a...
0:41:13 > 0:41:16I don't know what's happened to this country. I really don't.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19I'm sorry to say you didn't find the pointless answer you needed, though,
0:41:19 > 0:41:21so I'm afraid today's jackpot rolls over on to the next show.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23But it's been a real treat having you here.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Thank you so much for coming to play, and playing so well.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30Superb, James and Tony. And you get a Pointless trophy to take home as well.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37I have to say all your answers sounded convincing, though.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40I'll give you that. Prince Albert is buried in Frogmore.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43And the other two, Edward VII and George V,
0:41:43 > 0:41:46both buried in St George's Chapel in Windsor, I'm afraid.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48There are some people buried in Westminster Abbey, I promise.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50We will get on to those.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53The years of birth of monarchs from the House of Stuart...
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Mary Queen of Scots was born in 1542,
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Charles II was 1630,
0:42:00 > 0:42:01James II, 1633
0:42:01 > 0:42:03and Anne in 1665.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05You also could have had
0:42:05 > 0:42:091316, 1394, 1473 and 1662.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Now, the monarchs and their spouses buried in Westminster Abbey...
0:42:15 > 0:42:16There's a few here you might have guessed -
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Anne of Cleves is a pointless answer.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Anne of Denmark, wife of James.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Elizabeth of York, who was Henry VIII's mum.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25William III is there.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Mary II would have scored you one point.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Anne Neville, the wife of Richard III is in there.
0:42:29 > 0:42:30Caroline of Ansbach.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Catherine of Valois. Edith, the wife of Edward the Confessor.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36And Philippa of Hainault also a pointless answer.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40And more years. If you're a fan of years,
0:42:40 > 0:42:42here's three for you.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44The years of coronation of British monarchs - 1702,
0:42:44 > 0:42:47which was Queen Anne, George III in 1761.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50And some people would have got this, 1838, which was Queen Victoria.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Thank you very much indeed, Richard, and thank you so much,
0:42:55 > 0:42:57James and Tony. I'm sorry you didn't win today's jackpot,
0:42:57 > 0:43:02that now rolls over on to the next show when we will be playing for £2,000.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07Join us then to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile it's goodbye from Richard...
0:43:07 > 0:43:09- Goodbye.- ..and it's goodbye from me - goodbye.
