0:00:16 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where the aim of the game is to score as few points as you can,
0:00:27 > 0:00:30and you do that by coming up with the answers no-one else can think of.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37And couple number one.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Hi, I'm Philippa and this is my husband, Chris, and we're from South Shields.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Couple number two.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Hello, my name's Andy.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46This is my lifelong friend, Mark, and we're from Southend in Essex.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Couple number three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Hi, my name's Stephanie. I'm from Sheffield.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51This is my friend, Beth, and she's from Manchester.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55I'm Helen. Hello.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59This is my daughter, Claire, and we're from Woking.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01And these are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03APPLAUSE
0:01:03 > 0:01:04Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06A very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Lovely to have you all there.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10We'll get a chance to chat to each of you throughout the show as it goes along,
0:01:10 > 0:01:13so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14If, at first, he doesn't succeed,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16he changes the rules and declares victory.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18It's my pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Hiya. Hey, everybody.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- Hiya. - APPLAUSE
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Ah, this is a good group, isn't it?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- Yeah. I think so.- I instinctively...
0:01:27 > 0:01:28We know the first two podiums already,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Philippa and Chris and Andy and Mark,
0:01:30 > 0:01:34although they got knocked out very early on, both teams, but we know them.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38We know them like brothers and sisters and welcome,
0:01:38 > 0:01:41four new sisters on the podiums three and four.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43This is going to be great, right?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- Oh, I think so.- We've got Sheffield, we've got Manchester,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47we've got Woking, we've got Southend.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50What are we missing, right? Nothing.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Nothing at all. Nothing at all, apart from an update on the jackpot.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Oh, yeah. - Which I can now bring to you.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59The story is, Natalie and Jan won the jackpot last time,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01so we start off with a jackpot of £1,000.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- That's nice. There we are. - That is nice.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- And two jackpot wins in a row as well.- Yes.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07And these things often go in runs as well.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Yeah. And then as often, don't.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Yeah, sometimes...- It can take some money off.- Sometimes they don't.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14I'd hedge my bets a bit on that.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18We should start charging £1,000 to every winning couple who doesn't win.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Oh, that would add some jeopardy, wouldn't it?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23That would be really good. "And your category is Latvian pottery."
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Yes!
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Thank you very much indeed.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29So, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31APPLAUSE
0:02:35 > 0:02:39As ever, the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42so just keep your scores nice and low and you will be fine.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Our first category today is...
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first,
0:02:50 > 0:02:51who is going to go second
0:02:51 > 0:02:54and whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00OK. And the question concerns...
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- Richard.- Yeah, we are simply going to give you seven clues
0:03:07 > 0:03:10on each board to famous people who were born or raised in Yorkshire.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Who are they, please?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Thanks very much. Let's reveal our first board
0:03:14 > 0:03:16of seven Yorkies, and here they are.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53I will read those all one last time.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Philippa, welcome back. Good to have you with us again.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Remind us what you do, Philippa.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28So I am an accountant,
0:04:28 > 0:04:32but I'm currently just finishing a year of maternity leave.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35A year. Oh, must be nice to have a year off.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- How old is your baby now?- So just coming up to 11 months.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41- 11 months, OK.- Yeah.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Oh, that's going to be quite tough, that first day back.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- Yeah, I think it's kind of a big break to have a full year of work. - Yeah, yeah.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50So it feels like you're starting a new job again.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Do they introduce you back into work gently?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- No, no.- No, straight back in the deep end.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- Straight back in, yeah. - Good luck with that.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Now, Philippa, what are you going to go for on our board?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02So I think I only know a couple and I think they are both quite obvious,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04so I'm going to go for
0:05:04 > 0:05:07magician and television personality who married
0:05:07 > 0:05:10his assistant Debbie McGee and say Paul Daniels.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Paul Daniels, says Philippa. Let's see if it's right,
0:05:13 > 0:05:15let's see how many of our 100 people said Paul Daniels.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Wow, 87.
0:05:23 > 0:05:2487 for Paul Daniels.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Yeah, he was the first-ever magician from outside the US to be given
0:05:27 > 0:05:31the Hollywood Magician Of The Year award in 1983.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Gives you some indication of what a talented magician he was.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- He was an extraordinary magician. - Yeah, exactly.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- Quite apart from being an entertainer, he really, really... He could really do it.- Amazing.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Mark, welcome back.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Good to have you here from Southend.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- Remind us what you do, Mark.- I work in project and programme management.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Very good. Now, Mark, your interests when the management is behind you.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- Yes.- What do you like getting up to? - Well, I'm a published author twice over.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58What about that? Tell us about your books.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Well, my first book was A Man And A Pram,
0:06:00 > 0:06:05about my 5,500 mile walk across three continents around the world.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Did you say A Man With A Pram?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- A Man And A Pram.- A Man And A Pram.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Yes, indeed.- Well, what was in the pram?
0:06:11 > 0:06:15My backpack, because I found it was easier to push than carry.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Also you found traffic stopped for you more readily as you went across. - Yes.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Very clever.- Absolutely.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Very clever, a pram pack.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24How many miles did you say?
0:06:24 > 0:06:295,500 in total, I walked from London to Moscow, Melbourne to Sydney,
0:06:29 > 0:06:33then across America, LA to New York and then I finished off Land's End back to London.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36How extraordinary. How long did the whole thing take you?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38It's 14 months.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- That's good going.- Imagine if he said a week and a half.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Motorised pram.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Now, what would you like to go for, Mark?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48OK, I'm looking at this and I'm thinking
0:06:48 > 0:06:53I really should have spent more time in Yorkshire, but just looking down the list,
0:06:53 > 0:06:58I'm going to go for the author of Wuthering Heights as Emily Bronte.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Emily Bronte, says Mark.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Let's see how many of our 100 people said Emily Bronte.
0:07:05 > 0:07:0787 is the highest score, which we pass.
0:07:07 > 0:07:0971 for Emily Bronte.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Quite a high score there, too.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Yeah, another big scorer. It's amazing her name recognition.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19It's her only ever novel and she is so famous.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Amazing to think what she would have achieved as well.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23She died at 30. Imagine the school days she could have
0:07:23 > 0:07:26ruined for everyone else with four or five other novels.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Stephanie, welcome.- Thank you.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Good to have you here. What do you do, Stephanie?- I'm a legal adviser.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- In Sheffield?- I am indeed, yeah.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37What... You advise people to do what?
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Or not to do what?
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Just trade union members, usually advice, family law, probate,
0:07:42 > 0:07:43- things like that.- I see.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Very good indeed. And what are your interests, Stephanie?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49I just like going out for dinner, holidays,
0:07:49 > 0:07:51you know, all the extravagant things.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Perfect. Perfect. Now, Stephanie, what would you like to go for?
0:07:54 > 0:07:55This is slightly embarrassing
0:07:55 > 0:07:57because I am actually from Yorkshire,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59but they were like the two answers that I knew.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03So I'm going to go for Brian Blessed, Flash Gordon and Tarzan.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05OK, Brian Blessed, says Stephanie.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Brian Blessed.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11It is Brian Blessed.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17And it's our lowest score so far. Very well done indeed, Stephanie.
0:08:17 > 0:08:1830 for Brian Blessed.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24He was born in Mexborough, Brian Blessed.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26In 2011, York University,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29they had a study space they wanted a name for and the students named it
0:08:29 > 0:08:32the Brian Blessed Centre For Quiet Study.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34LAUGHTER
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- That's nice, isn't it?- Oh, yes.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38I presume he's heard about that.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40I imagine he has.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Good luck with the quiet study. There we go.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Thank you very much indeed. Now then, Helen, welcome to Pointless.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Good to have you. From Woking.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Helen, what keeps you busy in Woking?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Well, I've just recently retired.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58I'm a nurse and I just recently retired and I now like travelling.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01That's fun. Have you made lots of travel plans for your retirement?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- I have.- There are various places you are longing to go to?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Yes. No, I've been to quite a few places this year.
0:09:05 > 0:09:11I've been to Greece, south of France, Mexico and Ireland.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Nice of you to stop off and see us.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18But I'm hoping to go to Australia next year.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Very good. Good luck with that.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Now, Helen, this board is all yours.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Would you like to fill in all our blanks for us?
0:09:23 > 0:09:28Well, I would love to, but I think I just know, I know one definitely,
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Jeremy Paxman.
0:09:29 > 0:09:35The other one I'm going to try and take a punt on and that's the bottom one,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38and that's William Wilberforce.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40William Wilberforce, says Helen.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Let's see how many of our 100 people said William Wilberforce.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49It's right. Well, 87 was our highest score and you pass that.
0:09:49 > 0:09:5230 is our low, you land at 45. Not bad at all.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Let's fill in this Yorkshire board, shall we?
0:09:58 > 0:09:59- The author...- JB Priestley.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03JB Priestley. Turned down a knighthood and a peerage, JB Priestley.
0:10:03 > 0:10:0542 points for him.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- The female pilot?- Amy Johnson.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Is Amy Johnson. She would have scored 40
0:10:09 > 0:10:11and you're quite right about Jeremy Paxman
0:10:11 > 0:10:13and he would have scored 50 points.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Amazing he's been doing University Challenge over 20 years.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18I know. I didn't know that. There we are.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So we are halfway through the round,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- let's take a look at those scores. 30, Stephanie, well done.- Thank you.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Best score of the pass. Then up to 45 where we find Helen and Claire,
0:10:26 > 0:10:31then up to 71, Mark and Andy, and then Philippa and Chris are on 87.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34So, Chris, we need a low score from you. Good luck with that.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35We're going to come back down the line.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board and here they are.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Famous people from Yorkshire, each and every one of them.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I'll read those all again.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- Claire, welcome to Pointless. - Yes, thank you.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Lovely to have you here. Now, what do you, Claire?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I work for an airline at Heathrow Airport.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01So you are based at Heathrow?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- Yeah, I'm on the ground. - You never get airside?
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Oh, no, I'm airside, but not actually in the air.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Oh, so you see lots of happy people about to get on flights...
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Absolutely.- Talking excitedly about holidays.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Yeah.- Trying to control their children,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17and then you wave them off and you go back. Oh, that's it.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18So what bit do you do?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20What's your role?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I'm the supervisor, so if there's any problems,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I'm the person who you'd come to.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- So you're at the gate?- I'm at the gate and I'm at check-in.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Different shifts, different days.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Ah. Ah, well, that's fun, though.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Yes, it is. Every day is different.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- I bet it is.- Yeah.- My goodness.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Now, Claire, you are on 45.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39The high scorers are Chris and Philippa on 87,
0:12:39 > 0:12:41so 41 or less gets you through.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42What would you like to go for?
0:12:42 > 0:12:43Um...
0:12:44 > 0:12:48I'm going to go for the Labour Prime Minister.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49And it's going to be Harold Wilson.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Harold Wilson. Here is your red line. If you get below this red line
0:12:52 > 0:12:55with Harold Wilson, you're into Round Two. How many people said it?
0:12:57 > 0:12:58It's right.
0:13:00 > 0:13:0283. There we go.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04That takes your total up to 128.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Yeah, well played to our 100 there,
0:13:05 > 0:13:07that's a big score for Harold Wilson.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- Born in Huddersfield. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Now, Beth.- Hello. - Welcome to Pointless.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- Thank you.- Good to have you here. What do you do, Beth?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- I'm a legal executive.- Are you in the same sort of...?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20We worked at the same firm, but then I moved to the Manchester office.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22When did you move to the Manchester office?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Last year.- And they said to you, "You've got to go to Manchester"?
0:13:25 > 0:13:29No. It's a different job that I applied for and got the, yeah,
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- got the move.- I see. OK. And the move has been all right?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- Yeah, it's quite jolly.- It's nice, Manchester, plenty going on there.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- Yeah, there's lots going on. - Good. Good.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- Now, what are your interests, Beth? - Lots of eating and drinking
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- and lounging around.- Perfect.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44I'm not a hobby person.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49- "What are you doing?" Lying around is one of the...- The best hobbies! - ..the best hobbies you can have.
0:13:49 > 0:13:5330 is your score, so 97 or less is your target.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58I think I'm going to go for the playwright and author
0:13:58 > 0:13:59and say Alan Bennett.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Alan Bennett, says Beth.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02Here is your red line, lovely and high.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Get below that with Alan Bennett and you are through.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Had a small panic there.
0:14:11 > 0:14:1347 for Alan Bennett.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Not bad at all. 77 is your total.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Yeah, and he's another Yorkshire playwright
0:14:19 > 0:14:21who turned down a knighthood, Alan Bennett.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Born in Armley in Leeds.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25Thank you very much, Richard.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Andy, welcome back to Pointless.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Remind us what you do, Andy.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Yeah, I'm an orthotics technician.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35So I manufacture all casting devices.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38These are sort of insoles for people's shoes, to correct their posture.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40That's it. Bespoke for people, yeah.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Yeah, brilliant. And what are your interests, Andy?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Loads over the years. Mostly re-enactments.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Andy would be brilliant in a re-enactment!
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- Amazing.- What sort of...?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53I used to be in a...
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- Civil War?- Yeah, American Civil War.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Very good. What sort of things do you wear?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59What do you do to your beard, for example?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Pretty much grey as we were Confederates.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04OK. Do you ever plait the beard, weave it?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06No, that wasn't in the Confederate army.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08It was probably a Viking thing, I think.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Still, I don't think anyone is going to mind.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Absolutely not, yeah.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15So when you do that, I mean, is it basically a scrap?
0:15:15 > 0:15:16Is it hard not to get your...?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Yeah, it's all taken from all the drill books of the times,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22so you learn how to line up and present your muskets.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Yeah, yeah, all the lining up and all the kit and everything,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- and then you just go... Rrr! - Yeah, basically.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Do you ever find yourself getting a little bit cross?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- All the time.- Your blood is up?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Yeah, that's it. Especially on the losing side, yeah.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Interesting. Now, Andy, what would you like to go for?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Your current score is 71, so if you can score 56 or less...- OK.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40..you are into the next round.
0:15:40 > 0:15:46I think there's a couple I'm OK with, but to be absolutely sure,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I think I'll go with the player who has captained,
0:15:48 > 0:15:51managed the England national football squad is Kevin Keegan.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Kevin Keegan is what Andy is going to go for.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56There is your red line coming on now.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Get below that red line and you're through.
0:16:05 > 0:16:0861 for Kevin Keegan.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Taking your total up to 132,
0:16:13 > 0:16:14still very much in the game.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Yeah, born in Armthorpe, South Yorkshire.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18He is the only English player to win the Ballon d'Or twice.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Yeah. Name another. You can't.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- I cannot.- Good luck. There isn't one.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Good. Thank you. Chris, welcome back.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Here from South Shields. Also an accountant, we discovered last time.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Now then, Chris, what do you like getting up to when you're on holiday?
0:16:35 > 0:16:38What are the sort of things you like to do? What would you ideal holiday be?
0:16:38 > 0:16:43My ideal holiday, somewhere with nice food, my family,
0:16:43 > 0:16:47somewhere where it is not too much time on a plane with two young kids,
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- so somewhere...- Oh, yes. - I don't know if that place exists.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Sort of place where if you were getting on an aeroplane,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54you would hope someone nice would wave you off at the gate,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57someone who looked after you from the minute you checked in.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58That's right, yeah.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01That's the kind of holiday. Yeah. OK, now, you are on 87.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03This is exciting. 44 is what you have to score.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Above 44, we say goodbye to Chris and Philippa.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Below 44, we say, hello, Round Two.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12Um...
0:17:12 > 0:17:14I think I know a few, I'm just trying to work out
0:17:14 > 0:17:16which one would be the lowest scorer.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Um, I'll go for the bottom one,
0:17:19 > 0:17:23so the frontman of Pulp is Jarvis Cocker.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Jarvis Cocker. Here is your red line.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Get below that red line, you are into the next round.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jarvis Cocker.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41You've done it. Just! You needed 44, you got 43.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44130 is your total.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46APPLAUSE
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Goodness me, look at those top three scores there. 128, 130, 132.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52That is very, very close.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57If you'd gone for the one above, which is Patrick Stewart,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59we'd be in lockdown, because that
0:17:59 > 0:18:00would have scored you 45 points.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05The Pop Art movement, A Bigger Splash?
0:18:05 > 0:18:06- David Hockney.- David Hockney.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Would have scored you 25, would have seen you through,
0:18:09 > 0:18:11and this next one would have seen you through, actually.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- Geoff Boycott. - Geoff Boycott, yeah.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Would have scored you 33.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20So at the end of our first round, the pair we have to send home
0:18:20 > 0:18:23with a high score of 132, Andy and Mark, I'm sorry it's you.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Nothing wrong with either of your answers,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27they were just quite high scorers, I'm afraid.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29But it's been great having you on the show,
0:18:29 > 0:18:31thank you so much for coming along and playing. Andy and Mark.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33APPLAUSE
0:18:34 > 0:18:37But for the three remaining pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44And so we are suddenly down to three pairs.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Obviously at the end of this round,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48we have to say goodbye to another pair. Philippa and Chris!
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Ooooh!
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- Just.- Well done. Well done.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Just made it into Round Two.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Great to have you with us. Stephanie, our lowest
0:18:56 > 0:18:58individual scorer of that round, and Stephanie and Beth
0:18:58 > 0:19:01our lowest combined scorers in fact. So very well done on that. Brilliant.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Our category for Round Two today is...
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first,
0:19:08 > 0:19:12who is going to go second, and whoever is going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:19:22 > 0:19:26..countries with consecutive vowels in their name as they could.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Right. Richard.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Yes, simply looking for any country in the world
0:19:31 > 0:19:34whose usual short form name in English contains anywhere in its name just two vowels in a row.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Don't have to be in the right order, just two vowels next to each other,
0:19:37 > 0:19:39anywhere in their name, please.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41As always, by country, we mean a sovereign state
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- that is a member of the UN in its own right.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- Philippa?- I'm not a very good speller,
0:19:49 > 0:19:54so I'm going to give it my best shot, but I'm going to say Paraguay.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Paraguay, says Philippa.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Paraguay is getting you a nod from Chris as well.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Let's see how many of our 100 people went with Paraguay.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Oh, look at that, down to two!
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Very well done indeed, Philippa.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15That's a lovely, lovely low score.
0:20:15 > 0:20:162 for Paraguay.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19That's a very good answer, yeah.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22It's got a U and an A next to each other at the bottom there.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25And it's named after... Paraguay is named after the Paraguay River,
0:20:25 > 0:20:29and the Paraguay River is named after the Paraguay people,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31and Paraguay means the people who live near the river.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34LAUGHTER
0:20:34 > 0:20:37So... Come on, Paraguay, put some work in.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40LAUGHTER
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Thank you, Richard. Stephanie.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45I am going to go with Belgium.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Belgium. Now, hiding close to home. It's the last place we will look.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Belgium.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55It's right.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Look at that. Belgium down to 10.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Yeah, they hold the world record for a democracy going
0:21:09 > 0:21:10without an elected government,
0:21:10 > 0:21:13if you remember that time they couldn't form a government.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15589 days they went without a government.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Doesn't seem to have done them that much harm, I have to say.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- Good civil service.- Belgium?- Yeah. - Yeah, just let them get on with it.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Yeah, fine. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Now, Helen.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- Croatia.- Croatia, says Helen.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Let's see how many of our 100 people said Croatia.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34It's right.
0:21:34 > 0:21:3610 is our high score, 2 is our low.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Croatia...
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Look at that, down to 2.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Very well done indeed, Helen.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Yeah, that manages to pack two lots of different consecutive vowels
0:21:50 > 0:21:51into just seven letters.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- I know.- That's really good going for the Croatians.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- It is.- They've got over 1,000 islands, Croatia.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00And, you know, also just so many consecutive vowels as well.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Those are the two big exports from Croatia -
0:22:02 > 0:22:04islands and consecutive vowels.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Yeah. We're halfway through the round,
0:22:06 > 0:22:07let's take a look at our scores.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Only two scores between the three pairs.
0:22:09 > 0:22:122 is the low score, Helen and Claire, Philippa and Chris.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Very well done indeed. And then 10 is where we find Stephanie and Beth.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18So, Beth, yes, you know.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- You know what I'm going to say. Good luck.- Thank you.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21We come back down the line now.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- So then, Claire...- Yes.- Remember,
0:22:30 > 0:22:33any country with consecutive vowels in its name.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Uruguay.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Ah.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Uruguay. Well, here is your red line.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41If you can get below this red line with Uruguay,
0:22:41 > 0:22:43you will be going straight through to the head-to-head.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45How many of our 100 people said Uruguay?
0:22:48 > 0:22:49It's right.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58And look at that, down you go to 4.
0:22:58 > 0:23:004 for Uruguay, taking your total up to 6.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03It's the only country in the world whose name in English
0:23:03 > 0:23:07has the same letter three times in its first five.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09That fact you can have. That's even better than the Paraguay fact.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I think I'll keep them together.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16My Uruguay and Paraguay facts, keep them in the same little box.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19And Paraguay named Uruguay.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20They said, "We're Paraguay, Uruguay."
0:23:20 > 0:23:23They just said that they had it, you know, "You take that."
0:23:23 > 0:23:24Uruguay could do nothing about it.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Uruguay went, "There's a lot of Us there in the first five letters,"
0:23:27 > 0:23:28and Paraguay said, "Honestly,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30"that will come in handy one day, I promise.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- "Someone will remark upon that at some point."- Yeah.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Now then, Beth.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Yes, the moment has come.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Beth, do you know what?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42I reckon there will be some pointless answers.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- Somewhere. - I'm going to say Mauritania.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49- Mauritania.- Yeah.- Yeah.- I don't know if that's even a country.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51I know why you're saying it, I can see why you are saying it.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Yeah.- We can try it. Let's see what happens. Come on.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56There's no red line for you as you are the high-scorers.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Mauritania.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02Look at that.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08We've just got to hope it goes a long way down,
0:24:08 > 0:24:09and it does!
0:24:09 > 0:24:10Goes all the way down -
0:24:10 > 0:24:12very well done - to zero, Beth.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16It's a pointless answer, it adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:24:16 > 0:24:19takes your total up to £1,250, scores you nothing,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22which is exactly what you needed cos it leaves your total at 10.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- Very well done. - Yeah, very well played, Beth.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25That's a terrific answer.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Used to be part of French West Africa
0:24:27 > 0:24:28until it gained independence.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30It's an answer we don't often get on the show.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- No, we don't.- So very nicely done.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Overlooked. Yeah, very good.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Well done. Now, Chris, we have a game on our hands.
0:24:38 > 0:24:417 is what you have to score.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- I mean 7 or less, you understand.- Right!
0:24:44 > 0:24:46I'm going to go for Eritrea.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Eritrea, says Chris.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49Here is your red line.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52If you get below that, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53How many people said Eritrea?
0:24:56 > 0:24:57It's right.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05You've done it! Down to 3 for Eritrea.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Very well done indeed. Takes your total up to 5.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08That is so good.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Very nicely played. Before we read the pointless answers,
0:25:14 > 0:25:15there's so many 1-point answers.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I'll try and read them all out, but there's loads of them -
0:25:17 > 0:25:19loads of answers and lots of low scorers.
0:25:19 > 0:25:221 point for Cambodia, Guinea, Antigua and Barbuda,
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Macedonia, Ukraine,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Haiti, Gambia, Indonesia, Estonia,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Serbia, Namibia, Mongolia,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Albania, Guinea-Bissau, Ecuador,
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Armenia, Vanuatu - Vanuatu! -
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Equatorial Guinea, Colombia,
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Georgia.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Those are your 1-point scorers.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Let's take a look now at the pointless answers.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Very well done if you said any of these.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Also could have had Cote d'Ivoire, East Timor,
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Micronesia, Mozambique,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59St Lucia, Samoa, Sao Tome and Principe,
0:25:59 > 0:26:01and Sierra Leone, and of course Mauritania.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06So, the pair we have to send home with their high score of 10...
0:26:06 > 0:26:08I mean, that's a very low score to be calling a high score,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10but I'm afraid it is our high score.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Belgium, I'm afraid, was the big one there.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14And a pointless answer from you as well, Beth.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16But I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you now.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- We'll see you again next time. - Thank you!- Look forward to that.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20Beth and Stephanie, thank you.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Congratulations, Helen and Claire, Philippa and Chris.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play
0:26:35 > 0:26:40for that jackpot which currently stands at £1,250.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41Well, we are now at the head-to-head.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43This means you can start playing as a team,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45you can chat before you give your answers, and the first pair
0:26:45 > 0:26:48to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52Now, Philippa and Chris, you have not been this far before.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55It was Round Two we had to say goodbye to you last time.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Helen and Claire, straight through,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00straight through on your first appearance on Pointless
0:27:00 > 0:27:01to the head-to-head.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04There's only one point dividing you, that's how close it's going to be,
0:27:04 > 0:27:06so very, very best of luck to both pairs.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Here is your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- Claire already thrilled about that. - Excellent!- Richard.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24We're going to show you five pictures of people who've won
0:27:24 > 0:27:26the Formula 1 World Championship,
0:27:26 > 0:27:28can you name the most obscure of these, please?
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Thanks very much indeed.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Let's reveal our five Formula 1 champions, and here they come.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34We've got...
0:28:01 > 0:28:04There we are. Five Formula 1 champions.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05Helen and Claire,
0:28:05 > 0:28:07you are our low-scorers, so you'll go first.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12OK. I know the faces of all of them.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15C, I just can't think of the name.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18What one do you want to go for?
0:28:18 > 0:28:20A.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22OK, A, Jackie Stewart.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25A, Jackie Stewart, say Helen and Claire.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26Now then, Philippa and Chris,
0:28:26 > 0:28:28do you feel like talking us through that board?
0:28:28 > 0:28:32- Not particularly. - Well, I don't know any, so...
0:28:34 > 0:28:37I don't know many. I think... We think we know B.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40I think... Well, that might be Fernando Alonso.
0:28:40 > 0:28:45I would be totally guessing the others, so we'll go for B,
0:28:45 > 0:28:47- Fernando Alonso.- B, Fernando Alonso.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50So we have Jackie Stewart and Fernando Alonso.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Helen and Claire said Jackie Stewart.
0:28:52 > 0:28:53Let's see if that's right for A.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57I hope I'm right.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00It is Jackie Stewart.
0:29:03 > 0:29:0642 for Jackie Stewart.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13Meanwhile, Philippa and Chris have gone for B and Fernando Alonso.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Let's see if that's right,
0:29:15 > 0:29:17let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:29:19 > 0:29:20It is Alonso.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25And that wins you the point. Very well done indeed.
0:29:25 > 0:29:26Down it goes to 14.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Good answer from Philippa and Chris.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32You only knew one, but it was good enough. And it means that,
0:29:32 > 0:29:34after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35It's a lovely answer, very well played.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Yeah, the best answer on the board is C,
0:29:37 > 0:29:40which is Jacques Villeneuve.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Son of Gilles Villeneuve, would've scored you 8 points.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47Next to him is Sebastian Vettel.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49And he would have scored you 17 points.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Had an extraordinary career.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53He was the youngest person ever to score points in a Formula 1 race,
0:29:53 > 0:29:55the youngest person ever to be Formula 1 world champion,
0:29:55 > 0:29:57youngest person to be two-time world champion,
0:29:57 > 0:30:00to be three-time world champion, and youngest person to be
0:30:00 > 0:30:02four-time world champion.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03That's pretty good going, isn't it?
0:30:03 > 0:30:06That's good. Still only 14 as well, which is amazing.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Amazing. Incredible what he's done.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12And the final one, of course, is James Hunt.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14And he would have scored you 47.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Thank you very much indeed. OK, now, here comes your second question.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Philippa and Chris, you get to answer it first.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21But, Helen and Claire, you have to win it to stay in the game.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23A little bit of pressure on you now.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Good luck. Our second question today is all about...
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- Richard.- Yes, simply five clues now to facts about paper.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:30:34 > 0:30:35This is exciting.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Five facts about paper.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Here are the clues.
0:30:39 > 0:30:40We have got...
0:31:02 > 0:31:03I'll read those all again.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25There we are. Philippa and Chris,
0:31:25 > 0:31:27you will go first.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29SHE WHISPERS
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Could be.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35We only really know the top one, and we don't know the others,
0:31:35 > 0:31:39so we're going to take a guess at the third one down
0:31:39 > 0:31:42and say that a name used in printing to describe
0:31:42 > 0:31:45a unit of 500 sheets of paper is a ream.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49A ream. A ream, say Philippa and Chris.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53Now then, Helen and Claire, do you want to talk us through that board?
0:31:53 > 0:31:54Origami for the top one.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01Litmus paper for the acidity levels.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02- BOTH:- And Ryan O'Neal.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06Which would you like to go for?
0:32:06 > 0:32:08I think we should go for Ryan O'Neal.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Yeah. We'll go for Ryan O'Neal.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13You are going to go for Ryan O'Neal for Paper Moon.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16So, we have ream and we have Ryan O'Neal.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Philippa and Chris went for ream.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Let's see if that's right for 500 sheets.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24It is ream.
0:32:27 > 0:32:2853 for ream.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Meanwhile, Helen and Claire have gone for Ryan O'Neal.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Let's see if that's right for Paper Moon,
0:32:37 > 0:32:39let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42It is right.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46And it gets you back in the game.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Well done. Down to 36.
0:32:48 > 0:32:49Well done, Helen and Claire.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51After two questions, it's one-all.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55You would have scored even fewer for litmus. I mean, not crazily fewer,
0:32:55 > 0:32:57it would've scored you 34.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Origami is obviously a very big scorer up at the top there.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03Would have scored you 86.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06And the best answer is MIA,
0:33:06 > 0:33:09and she would have scored you 8 points.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So here comes your third question.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14This is the decider. Whoever wins goes through to the final
0:33:14 > 0:33:17and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Our third question is all about...
0:33:22 > 0:33:24- Richard.- We are going to show you the names now of five
0:33:24 > 0:33:27of the most requested composers on Desert Island Discs,
0:33:27 > 0:33:29but they are in anagram form.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Whichever team unpicks them and gives us the best answer
0:33:31 > 0:33:33is going through to play for the jackpot. Good luck.
0:33:33 > 0:33:34Thanks very much indeed.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Let's reveal our five anagrams, and here they are.
0:33:37 > 0:33:38We've got...
0:33:53 > 0:33:56There we are. Helen and Claire will go first.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00- Go with Tchaikovsky, I think.- No,
0:34:00 > 0:34:03I think that's easier cos it's got "sky" in it.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06I think we should go...
0:34:08 > 0:34:12- OK, if you want to. Well, we only know the easy ones.- Yeah.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15OK, we're going to go for Tchaikovsky, at the bottom.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Tchaikovsky for "havoc sky kit".
0:34:18 > 0:34:20And, Philippa and Chris, what would you like to go for?
0:34:23 > 0:34:24We'll go for Schubert.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28- First one.- For the first one, Schubert.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30So we have Tchaikovsky and Schubert.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Helen and Claire said Tchaikovsky.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:34:37 > 0:34:38It's right.
0:34:41 > 0:34:4342 for Tchaikovsky.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Philippa and Chris have gone for Schubert for "butchers".
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57It is Schubert.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02And, yes,
0:35:02 > 0:35:03that is a better score.
0:35:03 > 0:35:0621. Very well done indeed, Philippa and Chris.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09That means, after three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Yeah, Schubert is the best answer on the board.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12You couldn't have beaten it.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15The most requested composer are on Desert Island Discs
0:35:15 > 0:35:16- is number two...- Mozart.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20Mozart, yes, would have scored you 64 points.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Next to that, "lager" is Elgar.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Which would have scored you 37.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27And the second-most requested composer on Desert Island Discs...
0:35:27 > 0:35:31- Beethoven.- Beethoven. And he would have scored you 48.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32Thank you very much indeed.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:35 > 0:35:37I'm afraid to say, Helen and Claire, our low-scorers.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40But the good news is we get to see you again next time.
0:35:40 > 0:35:41- BOTH:- Thank you.- And I'm sure
0:35:41 > 0:35:43they'll do just as well then, if not better.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47- But thanks very much indeed, Helen and Claire. Thank you. BOTH:- Thank you.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51But for Philippa and Chris, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Congratulations, Philippa and Chris.
0:35:57 > 0:35:58You fought off all the competition
0:35:58 > 0:36:02and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:10 > 0:36:15At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,250.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19Well, I have to say, your first answer of the show was Paul Daniels.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21How far we've come since then!
0:36:21 > 0:36:22- I know.- My goodness.
0:36:22 > 0:36:23I thought we were going home.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Once I'd said that, I was like, "That's it."
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Well, fabulous to have you with us.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:36:30 > 0:36:33I think something for Chris on sport, probably.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- I think that's our best chance. - Yeah, maybe.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37OK. Chris, do you want to nominate something for Philippa?
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Reality TV maybe, or celebrity something.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- Famous Yorkshire-born magicians. - LAUGHTER
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Let's keep our fingers crossed that something on this board
0:36:48 > 0:36:51appeals to you. Today's selection looks like this. We've got...
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Yeah... We know what we are going for.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04We'll go Euro 2016 squads.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06OK. Euro squads it is.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09OK, very good luck. Real chance here, I think, with this question.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11We are looking for any of the following, please.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14We are looking for any of the players in the 23-man squads
0:37:14 > 0:37:17at Euro '16 of Wales,
0:37:17 > 0:37:19of Northern Ireland
0:37:19 > 0:37:21and of Ireland, please.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24So any of the 23 players in the Wales,
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Northern Ireland or Ireland squads at Euro 2016.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Now, as always, you've got one minute to come up
0:37:31 > 0:37:34with three answers, and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one
0:37:34 > 0:37:37of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:37 > 0:37:39- Yep.- Good. Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42There you are. Your time starts now.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43OK, so I think of...
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Obviously, Jonny Williams in the Wales squad, I think.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49And Conor Washington might be a good one.
0:37:49 > 0:37:50Northern Ireland.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Daryl Murphy, Republic of Ireland.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59I think Northern Ireland is a good one to go for,
0:37:59 > 0:38:01if I can think of some more Northern Irish players.
0:38:01 > 0:38:02Yeah, just have a think.
0:38:02 > 0:38:03They all sound good to me.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05I don't know any of them, so...
0:38:05 > 0:38:08You just go ahead and think.
0:38:08 > 0:38:09I'm at a bit of a blank.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Steven Davis.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16So you said...
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Hal Robson-Kanu -
0:38:18 > 0:38:21he scored a few goals, so he's probably quite well-known.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Who else?
0:38:23 > 0:38:24Neil Taylor.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26In the Wales squad.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28We'll definitely go Conor Washington.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Conor Washington, Neil Taylor...
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- Ten seconds left. - What was the first one you said?
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Daryl Murphy might be a good one.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35Daryl Murphy.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Or shall we go Jonny Williams instead of Neil Taylor?
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- Sounds good. - OK, that is your time up.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43Let's have your three answers
0:38:43 > 0:38:45and which category you are answering.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48So Jonny Williams.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49- Jonny Williams.- For Wales.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51- Conor Washington.- Conor Washington.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53For Northern Ireland.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55And Daryl Murphy for Republic of Ireland.
0:38:55 > 0:38:56Daryl Murphy. Of those three,
0:38:56 > 0:38:58which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:58 > 0:39:01- I think Conor Washington, probably. - Connor Washington we put last.
0:39:01 > 0:39:02Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Jonny Williams. I've got a horrible feeling that's not his name, but...
0:39:06 > 0:39:07Jonny Williams. OK, we'll put him first.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then,
0:39:11 > 0:39:12and here they are. We have got...
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Well, three answers there.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19What if one of these turns out to be pointless
0:39:19 > 0:39:21and wins that jackpot for you, £1,250?
0:39:21 > 0:39:23A nice jackpot to be taking home.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Philippa, what would you like to do with that?
0:39:25 > 0:39:28So we've had a lot of work done on the house recently,
0:39:28 > 0:39:31and we've had loads of support from our family,
0:39:31 > 0:39:33so we would like to treat them, I think.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35- That's nice.- Yeah.- Very nice.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37What sort of level of treats are we thinking here?
0:39:37 > 0:39:40I mean, if it was a huge jackpot, it would be something bigger,
0:39:40 > 0:39:45but maybe we'll all go for a nice meal or we'll go away somewhere.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47- Something like that.- Chris, what would you like to add to that?
0:39:47 > 0:39:50- No, I agree with that. - You couldn't really add to that,
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- "Yeah, I'd like a motorbike!"- Go away somewhere for a weekend, yeah.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55OK, well, very best of luck. Three good answers on the board there.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Jonny Williams was your first answer.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00In this case, we were looking for members of the Welsh squad
0:40:00 > 0:40:01of the Euro 2016 finals.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jonny Williams.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07If it is pointless, it will win you £1,250.
0:40:11 > 0:40:12It's right.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14All it has to be now is pointless
0:40:14 > 0:40:16and you leave here £1,250 the richer.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Down it goes, through the teens.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Jonny Williams takes us into single figures,
0:40:21 > 0:40:24still going down, down it goes to 1!
0:40:28 > 0:40:30OK.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32That's a very good first answer.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Down to 1. Superb low score there.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Irritatingly, we only accept pointless answers
0:40:37 > 0:40:39in this last round, but it's good.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42I think it sets the scene very well for your subsequent answers.
0:40:42 > 0:40:43Daryl Murphy was your next answer.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45In this case, we were looking for players
0:40:45 > 0:40:48in the Republic of Ireland squad for Euro 2016.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52If Daryl Murphy is pointless, it will win you £1,250.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54How many of our 100 people said Daryl Murphy?
0:40:58 > 0:40:59It's right.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Your first answer, Jonny Williams,
0:41:01 > 0:41:02took us all the way down to 1.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Daryl Murphy now takes us
0:41:05 > 0:41:06down through the 20s and the teens,
0:41:06 > 0:41:08into single figures, down it goes.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Daryl Murphy still going down...
0:41:10 > 0:41:12You've done it! Very well done indeed!
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Superb. That's fantastic.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17- Very well done.- Thank you.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20- Brilliant.- Thank you so much. Thank you.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23Well done. Well done.
0:41:23 > 0:41:24Very well done. Congratulations.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Daryl Murphy was a pointless answer,
0:41:27 > 0:41:30which means you go home with our jackpot of £1,250.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Very well done, Philippa and Chris.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Very nicely done. Very well played, Chris. Remind us, Chris,
0:41:39 > 0:41:42who Daryl Murphy signed for after the Euros?
0:41:42 > 0:41:43I can't remember. Oh, it's Newcastle.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45That's exactly who he signed for.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Very well played. Conor Washington would have scored you 3 points.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Would have scored you 3 points, so well done, Daryl Murphy.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Lots of pointless answers in the different categories.
0:41:54 > 0:41:55I know people got some at home.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Let's go through the Wales squad first.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59There's a name here you mentioned, you talked yourself out of,
0:41:59 > 0:42:01it was Neil Taylor. He was a pointless answer.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03James Chester. Andy King,
0:42:03 > 0:42:05a pointless answer, the Leicester midfielder.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07You also could have had David Cotterill,
0:42:07 > 0:42:10George Williams at Fulham and Owain Fon Williams as well.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12All of those were the pointless answers.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Let's take a look at the Northern Ireland squad.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Another former Fulham player there, Aaron Hughes.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Jamie Ward, Roy Carroll, Stuart Dallas.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22You could have had Alan Mannus, Conor McLaughlin,
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Corry Evans, Lee Hodson, Luke McCullough.
0:42:24 > 0:42:25Michael McGovern, a pointless answer.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Paddy McNair, a pointless answer as well. And Shane Ferguson.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31And finally, the Ireland squad.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Lots of names here.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Ciaran Clark, David Meyler, James McCarthy...
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Johnny Walters is a pointless answer,
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Aiden McGeady is a pointless answer. Cyrus Christie, Daryl Murphy,
0:42:40 > 0:42:43James McClean... Jeff Hendrick is a pointless answer.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Kieren Westwood, Richard Keogh, Shane Duffy,
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Stephen Quinn and Stephen Ward, all of those are pointless answers.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Very well done if you said one at home.
0:42:50 > 0:42:51Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54And thanks once again to our winning pair, Philippa and Chris,
0:42:54 > 0:42:57who go away with today's jackpot of £1,250.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Join us next time when we'll be putting
0:43:01 > 0:43:03more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
