0:00:24 > 0:00:26to Pointless, the show that makes big winners out
0:00:26 > 0:00:28of the lowest scorers. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hi, I'm Natalie from London and this is my mum, Jan, from Cheshire.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- Couple number two.- Hi, my name's Chris, this is my wife, Philippa,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43and we're from South Shields.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Couple number three.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Jennifer, and this is my friend Teresa,
0:00:46 > 0:00:48and we're from Cambridge.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50And finally, couple number four.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hello, my name's Mark, this is my friend Andy,
0:00:52 > 0:00:54and we're both from Southend-on-Sea.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55And these are today's contestants.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58APPLAUSE
0:00:58 > 0:01:00A very, very warm welcome to Pointless to each of you,
0:01:00 > 0:01:03lovely to have you here. We'll get a chance to have a chat more
0:01:03 > 0:01:05throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10We call him the Wind Turbine because although he looks incredibly cool,
0:01:10 > 0:01:12you wouldn't want him anywhere near your house.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14LAUGHTER It's my Pointless friend,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- it's Richard.- Hiya. - APPLAUSE
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Hey, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Good afternoon, sir.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Good afternoon.- We've got two returning pairs from the last show,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26they didn't cover themselves in glory on the last show,
0:01:26 > 0:01:27I'm going to say.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Teresa and Jennifer are back, got knocked out in Round One,
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Jennifer let herself down.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- SHE CHUCKLES - Didn't she?- She did.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- But today, redemption, Jennifer, redemption.- Yeah.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37And on podium one, Natalie and Jan, who got knocked out in Round Two,
0:01:37 > 0:01:39so no-one here has been through to a head-to-head.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- No.- We've got a nice first question,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43the first question comes from a good list.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46It's questions but there's a nice list behind it.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Very good, thank you very much. Now, Nick and Darren, who made it
0:01:50 > 0:01:52through to the final last time, also won the jackpot,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55which means we start off with a jackpot of £1,000 today. There we
0:01:55 > 0:01:57are. Right, if everyone's ready,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00let's play Pointless. APPLAUSE
0:02:03 > 0:02:06So, remember, the pair with the highest score at the end of each
0:02:06 > 0:02:07round will be eliminated.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Keep your answers nice and low-scoring and everything
0:02:10 > 0:02:13should be fine. Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Our first category today is...
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23who's going to go second. What's wrong, Natalie?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Any other geography! Just not UK.- Just not the UK?!
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- Not the UK.- Not your home country?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- No.- OK, well, decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- That's fun.- It is fun. On each board we're going to show you seven clues
0:02:48 > 0:02:51and the answers to each of them were in the top 20 most popular UK towns
0:02:51 > 0:02:53and cities for overseas visitors,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55according to the Office for National Statistics.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57So that's quite interesting, isn't it?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- That is interesting. - The answers will be interesting.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02They will all be interesting, Natalie. OK, let's reveal our first
0:03:02 > 0:03:05board of clues, here they come. And we have got...
0:03:37 > 0:03:38I'll read those all again.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Natalie. Tell us a little bit about yourself, Natalie,
0:04:09 > 0:04:11remind us what you do.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I work for a small children's charity and I also work
0:04:13 > 0:04:15for the Victoria and Albert Museum.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17That's right. What do you do at the V&A?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19What's your department there?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I do gallery assisting and I also help with children's educational
0:04:22 > 0:04:23workshops and things.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26And gallery assisting is what, just walking around and...?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Incredibly boring. No, standing very still in one space
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- for a very long time.- And saying, "Shh!" from time to time?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- Well, nobody even talks, you can't even say, "Shh."- That's annoying.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Occasionally saying, "Would you like to know something?" "No."
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- "No, go away!"- Yeah.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Well, there we are. Natalie, I'm sorry about the board,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42but there must be something up there?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I know one of them and I'm pretty sure it's definitely going to be the
0:04:45 > 0:04:49highest. I'm going to have to go for the city with the arts festival,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51and that's Edinburgh.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Edinburgh, says Natalie, with its Fringe.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of
0:04:56 > 0:04:58our 100 people went for Edinburgh.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00It's right.
0:05:02 > 0:05:0564, isn't bad. APPLAUSE
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Not bad. It's correct, which is good.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11And the way they measure the most popular towns and cities are anyone
0:05:11 > 0:05:15who stayed at least one night in one of those places,
0:05:15 > 0:05:20and Edinburgh had 1.5 million overseas visitors in 2015.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21OK, thank you very much indeed.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Now, then, Philippa, welcome.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25How nice to have you here from South Shields.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- What do you do, Philippa? - I'm an accountant,
0:05:28 > 0:05:31but I'm currently finishing a year of maternity leave.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Oh, that's nice.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Oh, no, are you dreading going back? - Just one more week.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- HE GASPS - Erm, a bit mixed, yeah.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39It's been lovely being off with the children,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41but it'll be nice to have some adult company at work and things.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42- Well, that's true.- Yeah.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- How many children have you got?- Two.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Are they twins?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- No...- No.- ..so we've got a little boy who's ten months
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- and a little girl who's just turned three.- Wonderful.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Now, Philippa, what would you like to go for?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55So I'm going to try the bottom one,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58which is the gunpowder plot participant Guy Fawkes,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00and say York.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01York, says Philippa.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100
0:06:03 > 0:06:04people went for York.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10It's right. 64 is our only score at this point and you pass that
0:06:10 > 0:06:11quite comfortably.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15My, look at that, down to 12, Philippa, very well done indeed.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17APPLAUSE
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Very well played, yeah. The Shambles, in York,
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- good name for a band. - I was just about to say, yeah.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Must have been used for a band.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28- The Shambles?- Must have been.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- You'd have thought so. - You would have thought.- Yeah.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Ah, well. Teresa, has The Shambles been used for a band?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- The Shambles?- Yeah.- Yes.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39There you are, I knew she'd know.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41LAUGHTER I knew she'd know.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Teresa, welcome back to Pointless, great to have you here.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- Remind us what you do.- Thank you. I'm an executive assistant
0:06:47 > 0:06:49for a training consultancy.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- This is... We heard all about them last time.- Yes. Yes.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- Oh, amazing!- For the Institute of Leadership and Management.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Institute of Leadership and Management.- Yes.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02We learned all about that, the seven levels.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Yes. - HE SIGHS
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- Amazing.- And Jennifer teaches all of them.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09And I run a good office.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12And you run a good office. How many are you in the office?
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Two.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15LAUGHTER
0:07:15 > 0:07:17So, hang on, whose business is it?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- It's Jennifer's. - OK, and you run the office?
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Yes.- Yes. So basically the Institute of Leadership and Management
0:07:24 > 0:07:27is without its leader and its manager - I can't believe it!
0:07:27 > 0:07:29LAUGHTER
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Teresa, what would you like to go for?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Well, there's one there that I do know definitely.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Opened in 1999 and renamed in 2016,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42the Principality Stadium is in Cardiff.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Cardiff, says Teresa.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Let's see how many of our 100 people said Cardiff.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53It's right, 64 is our highest score and you pass it.
0:07:53 > 0:07:5551 is where we end up with Cardiff, not bad.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57APPLAUSE
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Yes, 358,000 visits to Cardiff. It's the birthplace of Roald Dahl
0:08:03 > 0:08:06and for the centenary, they turned it into he City of the Unexpected,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08and they'd had all sorts of unexpected pop-up things
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- and actors turning up.- Right.- Yeah, that's nice, isn't it?- Really nice.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Thank you very much indeed. Andy, welcome to Pointless.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Thank you.- Andy, can I commend you on your beard?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Mm. You can.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22You know how sort of recently it's become very fashionable
0:08:22 > 0:08:24to have a sort of big, big beard,
0:08:24 > 0:08:27you probably look down on these Johnny-come-latelies to beardship?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Oh, definitely, these pretenders.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Yes.- I bet Andy had that beard at school.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34LAUGHTER In his pocket, obviously.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Now, Andy, what do you do?
0:08:39 > 0:08:43My job title is orthotics technician. Sounds a little bit...
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I know exactly what that is, I happen to be wearing
0:08:45 > 0:08:50- orthotics as we speak.- Yeah, so basically I make foot orthoses
0:08:50 > 0:08:51devices from casts.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54But you make them out of titanium or something, don't you?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- It's incredibly strong. - Well, there's different sort of...
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Thermoplastics I predominantly use.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Very good. Well, you're doing a great job.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Have you got a titanium one?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- I don't know.- Dude, all the cool kids have got thermoplastic.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- LAUGHTER Oh, no!- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Titanium, they saw you coming!
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Now, Andy, this is your board,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17would you like to go through it and fill in the blanks?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I'd love to go through it.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23I really couldn't say the abbey, unfortunately, or the lace market,
0:09:23 > 0:09:25so the only one I'm really going to have to have a stab at is
0:09:25 > 0:09:28the Midlands city, home to many curry restaurants and an area known
0:09:28 > 0:09:30as the Balti Triangle, I believe, is Birmingham.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Birmingham, says Andy, for the Balti Triangle.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Let's see how many of our 100 people said Birmingham.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41It is right. 64 is our highest score at the moment, you pass that. 57.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44APPLAUSE 57 for Birmingham, not bad.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Yeah, also over 1 million visitors to Birmingham in 2015.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Yeah, how about that?- Goodness. - Also over a million visitors to
0:09:55 > 0:09:58the city with the Imperial War Museum North.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- It's Salford.- Er, it's Manchester. - It's Manchester.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- Ooh.- Would've scored you 14 points.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Now, the top one, the lace market.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- Nottingham.- Nottingham. Yep.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09That would've scored you 37.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- And do you know the third one? - No.- No. That is Reading. Well done
0:10:12 > 0:10:14if you said that at home, it's the best answer on the board,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- would've scored you 5. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19We are halfway through the round, let's take a quick look at
0:10:19 > 0:10:22those scores. Oh, Philippa, look at that, 12, York, what a lovely answer
0:10:22 > 0:10:25that was. Philippa and Chris looking very strong at this point.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29And then, very tightly grouped together, we journey up to Teresa
0:10:29 > 0:10:33and Jennifer on 51, Andy and Mark on 57 and then Natalie and Jan on 64.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36So, Jan, just a little bit of pressure on you to find a nice low
0:10:36 > 0:10:39score in the next pass, so good luck with that. We're going to come back
0:10:39 > 0:10:40down the line now.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board, and here they are.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50We have got...
0:11:21 > 0:11:23I'll read those all again.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52So we just need the names of these towns and cities
0:11:52 > 0:11:57and they are all in the top 20 of the most visited towns and cities.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Mark, welcome to Pointless, good to have you here from Southend-on-Sea.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- What do you do, Mark?- I work in programme and project management.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06How do you know Andy?
0:12:06 > 0:12:11We actually went to school together, so it's a very long-term friendship.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13You remember him from before the beard.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15I do, I do indeed, yes.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17You weren't far wrong about the school joke,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- he did have it at school. - LAUGHTER
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Mark, there you are on 57.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23What would you like to go for on this board?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Erm, there's a couple which I think I might know,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30but I'm going to go for the Scottish city with the granite buildings,
0:12:30 > 0:12:31and I'm going to say Aberdeen.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Aberdeen, says Mark. Here's your red line, quite low.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38If you happen to get below that, you'd be straight through
0:12:38 > 0:12:40to Round Two, but let's see how far down the column we get
0:12:40 > 0:12:41with Aberdeen.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49That's a good answer, 40, very well done.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51APPLAUSE
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- 97's your total.- Well played, Mark.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Water polo was supposedly invented in Aberdeen on the River Dee.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- That is a cold place to invent water polo.- Mm!
0:13:02 > 0:13:03- LAUGHTER - I would say.- Mm.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06There you go. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Now, then, Jennifer, welcome back.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Good to have you here. Remind us, well, remind me,
0:13:12 > 0:13:14I happen to know what you do, Jennifer,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16we've talked about it a little bit!
0:13:16 > 0:13:17But anyway, tell us again.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20I'm a training and management consultant,
0:13:20 > 0:13:23and my company's an approved centre with the Institute of Leadership and
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Management.- This is... Why didn't you mention this before?!
0:13:26 > 0:13:28LAUGHTER
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- That's right. - How big is your client base?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33People come in on what sort of basis, for a course
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- or do they come in...?- I mainly train doctors, so I do a lot
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- of training for the British Medical Association.- Right.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41But also trusts as well, but I also do GP training.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Wonderful. Now, 51 is your score, Jennifer.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49If you can possibly score 45 or less, you are into the next round.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Erm, I know two or three,
0:13:52 > 0:13:56but I'm going to take the city which is where the Fitzwilliam Museum
0:13:56 > 0:13:58was opened, which is Cambridge.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Cambridge, says Jennifer.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Here is your red line, if you can get below this red line with
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Cambridge, you're through to Round Two.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13Very well done.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Ooh, it's a good answer, down to 8. APPLAUSE
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Oh, well done!- There we are, lowest score of the round, in fact.
0:14:20 > 0:14:2159 is your total.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Well played, Jennifer. Only became a city in 1951, Cambridge.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27George VI made it a city.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Hm. Er, thank you. Now, Chris, welcome.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- What do you do, Chris?- Like Philippa, I'm also an accountant.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Are you an accountant at the same place?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39We used to be, that's how we met.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40I see. OK.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43And, Chris, tell me about your interests?
0:14:43 > 0:14:47So, I like most sports, football. I'm quite into horse racing as well,
0:14:47 > 0:14:49I've got a small share in a racehorse.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52That's quite fun. Do you travel all over with that or is that...?
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- She hasn't actually raced yet, so... - LAUGHTER
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I was told I would get the opportunity to do that.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Oh, that's very exciting.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Good luck with that. Anyway, there you are on 12.
0:15:02 > 0:15:0697 is the high score, so if you can score 84 or less,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08you are through to the next round.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12I think I'll go for the city in north-east England which has
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- got areas called Byker, Gosforth and Jesmond.- Hm!
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- LAUGHTER - Just up the road from us,
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- Newcastle upon Tyne.- OK,
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Newcastle upon Tyne, says Chris.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Here's your red line, nice and high.
0:15:23 > 0:15:30I wonder how far down the column we'll get with Newcastle upon Tyne.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Far enough, is the answer to that.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Down it goes to 61. Popular answer there, taking your total to 73.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37APPLAUSE
0:15:39 > 0:15:41We honestly might as well call this round "where you live".
0:15:41 > 0:15:44LAUGHTER
0:15:44 > 0:15:46The Gateshead Millennium Bridge was the first rotating bridge in the
0:15:46 > 0:15:49world, Millennium Bridge.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- I didn't know it was the first in the world.- Mm.- Ah.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- It is.- Thank you very much, Richard.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Now, Jan, welcome back, lovely to have you with us again.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Remind us what keeps you busy up in Cheshire.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06Working with my husband in a partnership, I do accounts, admin,
0:16:06 > 0:16:07things like that.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- You keep the office ticking over? - Keep the office, yes.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12How are your leadership and management skills, Jan?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- LAUGHTER - Absolutely brilliant.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16OK, good, good. That's fine.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Cos I have nobody to manage any more.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Oh, I see, there you are! Very good.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Now, Jan, there you are, 64 is your score at the moment,
0:16:23 > 0:16:2497 is the high score.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29- 32.- Mm.- Imperative that you reach 32 if you want to remain with us.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33- Do you want to talk us through the board?- Yes, bottom one, I haven't,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35can't think.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37The first one I think might be Liverpool
0:16:37 > 0:16:39because I know it was a capital
0:16:39 > 0:16:44of culture. The fourth one...I can't remember if it was Portsmouth or
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Southampton. I think probably Southampton cos it's more
0:16:48 > 0:16:51visitor attractive.
0:16:51 > 0:16:57But I'm going to go for the River Avon one and, fingers crossed,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59it's Bath.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Sounds like you might know all of them but there we are.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Ooh, can I just say,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05on behalf of Portsmouth... HE SUCKS TEETH
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- LAUGHTER OK.- It's bigger!
0:17:07 > 0:17:10There is your red line.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14If you can get below that with Bath, you are through to Round Two.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Let's see how many of our 100 people said Bath.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Oh, well done, look at that!
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Well done, 22 for Bath. APPLAUSE
0:17:30 > 0:17:31Takes your total up to 86.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34You made it.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36That's a terrific answer, very well played.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Liverpool you were right about,
0:17:38 > 0:17:39also would've seen you through.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- Oh.- Liverpool would've scored you 28 points.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43The south coast port
0:17:43 > 0:17:45is Southampton.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48That would've scored you 56, though, too many points for that.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- Oh, thank goodness.- This last one would have seen you through as well.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- Inverness.- Inverness, beautiful city, would've scored 25,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56so the best answer on the board is Cambridge.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- Well played.- Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00So, at the end of our first round, the pair we have to send home with
0:18:00 > 0:18:03their high score of 97, Mark and Andy, I'm afraid it's you.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05We'll see you again next time, though, and I'm sure we'll get much
0:18:05 > 0:18:08further. In the meantime, thanks so much, Mark and Andy.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10APPLAUSE
0:18:10 > 0:18:13But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Well, three pairs made it through Round One.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25That was a close-run thing, wasn't it, I have to say.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Well done, Jennifer, lowest individual score there
0:18:27 > 0:18:29for Cambridge.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32But actually, Jennifer and Teresa were our lowest joint scorers,
0:18:32 > 0:18:34so, yes, good achievement there on the far podium.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Our category for Round Two today is...
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:42 > 0:18:44who's going to go second, and whoever's going first,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46please step up to the podium.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Famous French people, Richard.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Yeah, we're about to show you 16 pictures of famous French people,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03but can you tell us who they are, please?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05OK, let's see who is on our image.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Ah.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11There we are.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Some famous French people.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Natalie.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I think...
0:19:19 > 0:19:22There's a few of them I think I know, but they don't...
0:19:22 > 0:19:23look quite right,
0:19:23 > 0:19:27so I'm going to go for potentially quite an easy one because my mum
0:19:27 > 0:19:30used to be completely in love with him, and that's David Ginola.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33David Ginola, says Natalie.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Ginola.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39It's right.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44And it takes us down to 36, not bad at all.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47APPLAUSE Not bad. David Ginola, 36.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52There he is, David Ginola.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Published an autobiography in 2000 called Le Magnifique.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Oh, ouais?
0:19:57 > 0:19:58- Ah, oui.- C'est moi!- Oui.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- C'est moi, je suis magnifique. - Thanks very much, Richard. Chris.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Who would you like to go for on our board of French people?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I don't know too many.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13But I think I'm going to go and say top left is Raymond Blanc.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Raymond Blanc, says Chris.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Raymond Blanc.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24It is right. 36 is our only score.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Oh, look at that. You pass 36. Oh, Raymond Blanc, 13,
0:20:28 > 0:20:29very well done.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30APPLAUSE
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Very good indeed, Raymond Blanc.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Very well played, one of Great Britain's favourite French people, Raymond Blanc.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42He's entirely self-taught, and he started as a waiter in Oxfordshire.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46And one day, the chef was ill, he just took over one day.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47That was his start.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- Really?- Yeah.- That's a nice story. - Amazing, isn't it?- I didn't know that at all.- Yeah.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Anyway, there we are. Now, Jennifer.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57I know a few.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59But as I am also well-known for my malapropisms,
0:20:59 > 0:21:02and when there's a lot of syllables, getting the name wrong,
0:21:02 > 0:21:05I'm going to go for one of the two easier ones I know
0:21:05 > 0:21:07and I'm going to say Edith Piaf.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12Edith Piaf. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Edith Piaf.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19It's right. 36 is our high score, 13 is our low.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Look at that, down to 15.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Very well done indeed, Jennifer. Nice scoring there
0:21:25 > 0:21:26for Edith Piaf.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31Another good answer, yeah. She was born Edith Gassion,
0:21:31 > 0:21:34but piaf is French for sparrow and she was the Little Sparrow.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Yeah. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38We are halfway through the round.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Let's take a look at the scores. Chris on 13, very well done.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Chris and Philippa looking very strong at this point.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Then up to 15, where we find Jennifer and Teresa.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Then Natalie and Jan, a little bit ahead on 36.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Jan, let's hope you can find a nice obscure French person
0:21:51 > 0:21:53on the board behind me. Good luck with that.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55We are going to come back down the line now,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Now then, Teresa.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02Hello.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Teresa, you're on 15.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Ideally, you'll score 20 or less for this answer
0:22:06 > 0:22:08and that will get you into the head-to-head.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09OK.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I too know a couple of them,
0:22:12 > 0:22:17I'm going to take a little bit of a guess as to which designer,
0:22:17 > 0:22:22but I'm going to try Jean-Paul Gaultier.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Jean-Paul Gaultier says Teresa.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Let's see if that's right. There's your red line.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31It is Jean-Paul Gaultier.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37And you are through to the head-to-head.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Look at that, 13, very well done indeed,
0:22:40 > 0:22:42taking your total up to a nice 28.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44APPLAUSE
0:22:44 > 0:22:46There he is, another of our favourite French people,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48due to his roles on Eurotrash.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Excellent. Thank you.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- Now, Philippa.- I think that would have been my best answer,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56so I'm going to have a go at trying to pronounce this,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59and say Gerard Depardieu.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Gerard Depardieu, says Philippa.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Here is your red line. If you can get below this red line,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05you are through to the next round.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Gerard Depardieu.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10It's right.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Very good, not bad. 28.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20I think you have probably done enough, taking your total up to 41.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22It's all in Jan's hands.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25He's been in over 200 films, Gerard Depardieu.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27That's a lot.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30And if Whoopi Goldberg married him, she'd be Whoopi Depardieu.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31LAUGHTER
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Thank you very much indeed.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Well, I said it was all in Jan's hands, and it is.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Oh, Jan's hands.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42RICHARD CHUCKLES
0:23:42 > 0:23:44And it is, all in Jan's hands.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46You have to score 4 or less.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- Yes.- Do you want to talk us through the board?
0:23:49 > 0:23:53- Um...- Marcel Marceau, I think.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57Francois Hollande.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Francoise Hardy.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05And I'll go for Francoise Hardy.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Francoise Hardy.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10OK, Francoise Hardy, says Jan.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12There is your red line, it's low.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Francoise Hardy sounds like the sort of name
0:24:14 > 0:24:16that would get you below that red line.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Let's see if it's right. Let's see how far down the column we go.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Francoise Hardy is right.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Still going down.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29You've done it!
0:24:29 > 0:24:303, very well done indeed.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32APPLAUSE
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Takes your total up to 39, very exciting.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Fabulous answer there.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39That is terrific work, Jan.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Very well played. Mick Jagger loved her, Bob Dylan wrote a poem for her.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43An incredibly low score.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Take a look, you were right about Marcel Marceau.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47He would have got you knocked out, though,
0:24:47 > 0:24:49because he would have scored 17 points.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51The other one, is it Edith Cresson?
0:24:51 > 0:24:53We'll find out in a moment.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54Next to Marcel Marceau...
0:24:54 > 0:24:57FRENCH ACCENT: Woody Allen.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59It is not Woody Allen.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Oh. Ah, zut alors!
0:25:01 > 0:25:03He's a man who spent a lot time underwater.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- Oh, it's Jacques Cousteau! - It's Jacques Cousteau.- Ah! Ah, oui.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09I've never seen him without a mask.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Onze points for Jacques Cousteau.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Et, uh...
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Mais non, c'est ne pas Edith Cresson.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Non. C'est Christine Lagarde.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Christine Lagarde, oui.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Sept points pour Christine Lagarde.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- Et...Thierry.- Thierry Henry.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27- Oui.- Cinquante deux points pour Thierry Henry.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Et next to him, I'm going to have to...
0:25:29 > 0:25:30This is a pointless answer.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33I don't know the French for pointless answer.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36If you watch Spiral, you'll recognise him.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37And it's Gregory Fitoussi.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Very well done if you said that, nil points for Gregory Fitoussi.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- Next to him.- C'est Henri Matisse.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- Oui! C'est Henri Matisse.- Ouais, ouais.- Tres bien.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Un point pour vous. Et, uh...
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Le gentleman avec le chapeau.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52- Charles de Gaulle. - Charles de Gaulle.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55He would have scored you quarante-sept points.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- Francois Hollande. - Francois Hollande, oui.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Vingt-cinq points pour Francois Hollande.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02Et Eva Green.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03Huit points.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Et Billie Piper
0:26:05 > 0:26:07is the next one.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08LAUGHTER
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- It's Brigitte Bardot. - Brigitte Bardot.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Quarante-six points.- Alors! - That was fun.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- We should do the whole show in French.- Yeah, that would be long.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18LAUGHTER
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Fun, though. We are at the end of our second round,
0:26:20 > 0:26:23and we have to say goodbye to one of our pairs.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25I mean, it's not a high score, Philippa and Chris,
0:26:25 > 0:26:26it's not bad at all.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Just nothing to do with Newcastle in this round, I'm afraid.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31We have to say goodbye to you. See you again next time.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- Thank you.- Look forward to that very much indeed. Philippa and Chris.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36APPLAUSE
0:26:36 > 0:26:39But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Congratulations, Teresa, Jennifer, Natalie and Jan,
0:26:47 > 0:26:48you are now one step closer to the final
0:26:48 > 0:26:52and a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £1,000.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Well, here we are in the head-to-head.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57This means you are now allowed to confer before you give your answers.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59The first pair to win two questions in this round
0:26:59 > 0:27:01will be going through to that final and playing for the jackpot.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Best of luck to both players, let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Here is your first question. And it concerns...
0:27:15 > 0:27:19- Richard. - Five clues to facts about salt.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22What is the most obscure answer?
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Pointless doesn't get tougher than this.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28We've got...
0:27:52 > 0:27:53I'm going to read those all again.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17That's fun. Teresa and Jennifer,
0:28:17 > 0:28:19you're our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24You choose.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28Right.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30We know two of them.
0:28:32 > 0:28:38Definitely. But I think what we'll go for is the fourth one,
0:28:38 > 0:28:43and say that's Veruca Salt, played by Julie Dawn Cole.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46OK, Veruca Salt, say Teresa and Jennifer.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Now then. Natalie and Jan, the board is all yours.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Would you like to talk us through it?
0:28:50 > 0:28:54We are either going for one or three because we don't know the other two.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57It's the Dead Sea, or it's sodium chloride.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- It is sodium chloride. - Let's go for Dead Sea.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01We'll go for the Dead Sea.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03You are going to go for the Dead Sea.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05So, we have got Veruca Salt and the Dead Sea.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Teresa and Jennifer went for Veruca Salt,
0:29:07 > 0:29:09let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:29:11 > 0:29:12It's right.
0:29:16 > 0:29:1838.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20APPLAUSE
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Meanwhile, Natalie and Jan have gone for the Dead Sea.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Let's see how many of our 100 people went for the Dead Sea.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31It's right.
0:29:33 > 0:29:3454 for the Dead Sea.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Which means, well done, Teresa and Jennifer,
0:29:37 > 0:29:40after one question you are up 1-0.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Yeah, it is sodium chloride,
0:29:42 > 0:29:44but NaCl is the formula we were looking for.
0:29:44 > 0:29:49- Would have won you the point, though.- Oh!- If you said it, would have scored you 30.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51The song from Bedknobs And Broomsticks?
0:29:51 > 0:29:54- Bobbing along...- It's not Bobbing Along.- ..on the beautiful briny sea?
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- It's called The Beautiful Briny. - Oh, The Beautiful Briny, sorry, yes.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59That would have scored you 5 points.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03And the NHS recommended daily maximum intake of salt, do you know this?
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- I don't know.- It's four tonnes.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06Four tonnes.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08LAUGHTER
0:30:08 > 0:30:10No, it's six grammes, which I have to say,
0:30:10 > 0:30:12I haven't heard that before, but 15 of our 100 got that.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Thank you very much indeed, Richard. We come to our second question.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Natalie and Jan, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20But you get to answer it first, so it's slightly in your favour.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Our second question is all about...
0:30:27 > 0:30:29We're going to show you five pictures now of birds
0:30:29 > 0:30:31which are the national bird symbols of various countries.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34We need you to name the birds, please.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Thank you very much indeed. What are these birds?
0:30:37 > 0:30:38And we have got...
0:31:18 > 0:31:20There we are. Five birds
0:31:20 > 0:31:23that are symbols of nations.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Natalie and Jan, you will go first.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38I think we'll go for C, mute swan.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Mute swan, say Natalie and Jan.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Now, Teresa and Jennifer, talk us through that board.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48Well, A is bald eagle,
0:31:48 > 0:31:51we decided. E is flamingo.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55D is something ibis.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58And I don't actually know what B is.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00So E, flamingo.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01E, flamingo.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03So, we have mute swan and we have flamingo.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Natalie and Jan went for mute swan for C,
0:32:06 > 0:32:08let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15It is indeed mute swan.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16And that goes down to 53.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17APPLAUSE
0:32:19 > 0:32:24Teresa and Jennifer, meanwhile, have gone for flamingo for E.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Let's see how many of our 100 people got flamingo.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33It's right. Oh, 89 for flamingo.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37Yeah. No mistaking the flamingo, very well done, Natalie and Jan.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39You're back in the game after two questions, it's one all.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Well played. The bald eagle wouldn't have saved you either.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45The national bird of the USA, of course, that would have scored 74.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Now, B, that's the national bird of Guatemala.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50- I know the first word. - What's the first word?
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- Resplendent. - Resplendent is the first word.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55And it's the resplendent quetzal.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58And that's also the currency of Guatemala as well, the quetzal.
0:32:58 > 0:32:59Would have scored you 1 point.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Sometimes called the Guatemalan quetzal.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04You'd done the hard work with D, you worked out the ibis.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06You've just got to work out what colour it is.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08- Oh, Scarlet!- Scarlet.- Scarlet ibis.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Would have seen you through to the final as well, 9 points.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- Oops.- Ah, well!
0:33:13 > 0:33:16There we are. There are our national birds.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17OK, here comes question three.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Whoever wins this one goes through to the final
0:33:19 > 0:33:21and plays for the jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Our third question today is all about...
0:33:26 > 0:33:28- Richard. - Going to show you five words
0:33:28 > 0:33:31which are in the Nato phonetic alphabet, but in anagram form.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:33:33 > 0:33:35- Very best of luck to everyone. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Let's reveal our five anagrams
0:33:37 > 0:33:39and here they are. We have got...
0:33:44 > 0:33:46I'll read those all again.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Teresa and Jennifer, you will go first.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59We... We know three of them, at least.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02And we are going to go the last one, and say...
0:34:02 > 0:34:05You say it, because I'll say it wrong.
0:34:05 > 0:34:06We are going for Sierra.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Sierra, say Teresa and Jennifer.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Now then, Natalie and Jan, what would you like to go for?
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Oh, I think I know most of them.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18- Charlie.- We are not going for Charlie or Tango
0:34:18 > 0:34:22- if you know all of them.- Yankee, and I think, if Natalie agrees,
0:34:22 > 0:34:25we will go for the second one, which is Uniform.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26OK, Uniform.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30So we have Sierra and we have Uniform.
0:34:30 > 0:34:31Teresa and Jennifer went for Sierra,
0:34:31 > 0:34:34let's see how many of 100 people said Sierra.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37Sierra is right.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43Good answer. 30.
0:34:43 > 0:34:44APPLAUSE
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Natalie and Jan, meanwhile, have gone for Uniform, for If No Rum.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52Let's see if that's right,
0:34:52 > 0:34:55and let's see how many of our 100 people said Uniform.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01It's right. This is going to be interesting.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04And Uniform wins.
0:35:04 > 0:35:05Down to 18. Very well done indeed.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06APPLAUSE
0:35:06 > 0:35:08That means, Natalie and Jan,
0:35:08 > 0:35:11after three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Yeah, Uniform is the best answer up there, very well played,
0:35:14 > 0:35:17could not be beaten. Charlie, the top one.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Would have scored you 40 points.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Go Ant is, of course, Tango, as you said.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25That would have scored you 55,
0:35:25 > 0:35:27and the next best answer on the board is Yankee.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Yankee would have scored you 26.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34So leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Teresa and Jennifer, I'm afraid it is you.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38It's been wonderful having you on both shows.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Very many congratulations on your performance
0:35:40 > 0:35:42across the show today, it's been fantastic.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Thank you so much, Teresa and Jennifer.
0:35:46 > 0:35:47APPLAUSE
0:35:49 > 0:35:52But for Natalie and Jan, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Congratulations, Natalie and Jan.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00You fought off all the competition
0:36:00 > 0:36:03and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,000.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Well, very well done. Second appearance on the show.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19It was Round Two we had to say goodbye to you last time,
0:36:19 > 0:36:21this time straight through to the final.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24What would you like to see come up on the board?
0:36:24 > 0:36:25South America would be good.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28And film, if it's...
0:36:28 > 0:36:30If it's something we know about.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Yeah.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36Literature. But again, our knowledge is fairly specific
0:36:36 > 0:36:38rather than broad.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39OK, well, very, very best of luck.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Let's hope the things you specifically know
0:36:42 > 0:36:43come up on this board.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44Today's options are...
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- None of those. - What's stage love?
0:36:57 > 0:36:58Well, it will be...
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Do you know much about Iceland?
0:37:01 > 0:37:02Absolutely nothing.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06Certainly don't know rugby players, I should have listened to Dad.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Shall we do Characters In Stage Love Stories?
0:37:09 > 0:37:12- Yeah.- OK, Characters In Stage Love Stories.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14- Richard.- OK, very best of luck.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16We are looking for any of the following three things, please.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Any named character in any of the following.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Any named character in the King And I,
0:37:20 > 0:37:23the original 1951 Broadway performance.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Any named character in West Side Story,
0:37:25 > 0:37:27the 1957 original Broadway performance.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30Any named characters in the first folio version
0:37:30 > 0:37:32of Antony And Cleopatra, which is by Shakespeare.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35So, any named characters in the King And I, West Side Story,
0:37:35 > 0:37:36or Antony And Cleopatra.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38- Very best of luck. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Now, as always, you've got one minute to come up with three answers,
0:37:41 > 0:37:42and all you need to win the jackpot
0:37:42 > 0:37:44is for just one of your answers to be pointless.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46- Are you ready?- Yes.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- We are.- Good, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Firstly, I know, Enobarbus for Antony And Cleopatra.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Antony and Cleopatra.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57What's her nurse called?
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- Oh.- She has got... The one who puts the asp on her.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- What's she called?- Yes, I don't know.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04We can't shout three options, because we don't know many.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06The King And I and West Side Story...
0:38:08 > 0:38:10He's got a right-hand man, as well.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12- What's the...? - I can't think of the nurse.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Antony and Cleopatra is not one I've studied.
0:38:16 > 0:38:21- It's...- Shall we just say Antony and Cleopatra and...?
0:38:21 > 0:38:23We won't accept Antony or Cleopatra.
0:38:23 > 0:38:24OK.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- Because they're in the question. - No, exactly.- Fair enough.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Well, there's Marcus Antony, Brutus.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31That's Antony.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Oh, yeah. This is not going well.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- What about...- Brutus?
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Any of the other cohorts? Ten seconds left.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Can you think of anyone?
0:38:42 > 0:38:44No, I can only think of... Just hope Enobarbus is pointless.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48Miss Chambers used to shout it out all the time.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Right, well, we need to find one more.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53OK, I'm afraid that is your minute up, I'm so sorry.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55So I now need three answers from you.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58We'll say Brutus.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01- Brutus.- Enobarbus.- Enobarbus.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03And...
0:39:03 > 0:39:04Hoping it will come to me.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09- Claudette.- And Claudette.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13- And all three of these characters are from Antony And Cleopatra? - We're hoping, yes.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Our only shot, I think, is Enobarbus.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Enobarbus we'll put last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:20 > 0:39:23- What did I say? - Claudette.- Claudette.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Can't even remember. Claudette we'll put first and then Brutus in the middle.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29OK, well, let's put those answers on the board in that order then.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31And here they are.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33We have got, Claudette, Brutus, and Enobarbus.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37Well, in all three cases, we're looking for characters
0:39:37 > 0:39:39from Antony And Cleopatra.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Your first answer was Claudette.
0:39:42 > 0:39:43Bit of a stab in the dark, this one.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47Maybe Cleopatra did have a French handmaiden.
0:39:47 > 0:39:48LAUGHTER
0:39:48 > 0:39:51If it's pointless, it will win you £1,000.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54In fact, if any of these are pointless, they will win you £1,000.
0:39:54 > 0:39:55What would you like to do with £1,000?
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Um, I've got a little puppy
0:39:57 > 0:40:01and I'd love to take him to the seaside with some of my friends,
0:40:01 > 0:40:02so for a holiday.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04That would be nice. Very nice.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05So, yeah, go to Devon.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Some sea air for the puppy.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Jan, how about you?
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Natalie keeps talking about wanting to pass her driving test,
0:40:12 > 0:40:14so some driving lessons.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16But I'd also treat myself and my husband
0:40:16 > 0:40:18to a lovely weekend away somewhere.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Good stuff.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Let's hope one of these answers turns out to be pointless
0:40:22 > 0:40:24and wins that jackpot for you.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26As I said, your first answer was Claudette.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Let's find out how many of our 100 people said Claudette.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35No.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36No Claudette, I'm afraid.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40Not a pointless answer, so we move on to Brutus, your next answer.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42If Brutus is pointless, it wins the £1,000.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44How many of our 100 people named Brutus as a character
0:40:44 > 0:40:45in Antony And Cleopatra?
0:40:48 > 0:40:50No, I'm afraid no Brutus.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54No Brutus in Antony And Cleopatra either.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Your third and final answer was Enobarbus
0:40:56 > 0:40:59and now I think we're on firmer ground, here.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03You remembered Enobarbus immediately.
0:41:03 > 0:41:04- Yes.- To win the jackpot of £1,000,
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Enobarbus, of course, has to be pointless.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10So let's find out how many of our 100 people said Enobarbus.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14- It's right.- That's something.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18Claudette and Brutus were neither of them right.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Enobarbus very much so.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23Takes us down through the teens, into single figures, down we are going,
0:41:23 > 0:41:26still going down with Enobarbus. You have done it!
0:41:26 > 0:41:27Very well done indeed.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Enobarbus is a pointless answer.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Very well done.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Very good indeed.
0:41:33 > 0:41:34CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Enobarbus! Congratulations, a pointless answer,
0:41:39 > 0:41:43which means you go home with that jackpot of £1,000. Fabulous.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46- Richard?- Very well done. Where did Enobarbus spring from?
0:41:46 > 0:41:47My old English teacher would go,
0:41:47 > 0:41:50"Enobarbus is the key to the plot," and Enobarbus is there,
0:41:50 > 0:41:51so thank you, Miss Chambers.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Goodness me. Miss Chambers. Well done, Miss Chambers.
0:41:54 > 0:41:55That's very impressive.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57That's why you must go to school.
0:41:57 > 0:41:58Yes.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Brutus is not a character in Antony And Cleopatra,
0:42:04 > 0:42:06he is mentioned in it but he's not a character.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08The King And I...
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Everyone a pointless answer there apart from Anna Leonowens,
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Tuptim and Sir Edward Ramsey.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Everyone else is a pointless answer.
0:42:17 > 0:42:18West Side Story.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Let's take a look at a few of these answers.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27Everyone pointless there apart from Maria, Tony, Anita, Riff, Bernardo,
0:42:27 > 0:42:31Schrank, Action, Anybodys, Chino, Doc, and Officer Krupke.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33And Antony And Cleopatra now.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Everyone pointless there, apart from Scarus and Eros,
0:42:40 > 0:42:41everyone else is a pointless answer.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43So, very well done if you got one at home,
0:42:43 > 0:42:45and congratulations in the studio.
0:42:45 > 0:42:46Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Thanks again to our winning players, Natalie and Jan,
0:42:49 > 0:42:51who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:42:51 > 0:42:52Very well done.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59Join us next time when we put more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:04APPLAUSE
