APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
Thank you very much. I'm Alexander Armstrong. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
A warm welcome to Pointless, the quiz show where obvious answers mean nothing | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
So, welcome, Paul and Mark. How do you two know each other? | 0:00:39 | 0:00:44 | |
We're work colleagues. We've worked together for two and a half years | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
and we've become great friends. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
-What do you do, Mark? -I'm a welder fabricator. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
I build casting machines for the foundry industry. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:57 | |
-Very good. And how about you, Paul? -I'm a fitter. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
I build the machines as well and then go out and fit and commission them. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
-What are you hoping is going to come up this afternoon? -Sport. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
A bit of geography. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
A bit of soaps. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:11 | |
OK, well, very, very best of luck. It's brilliant having you here. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
Next we welcome Patrick and Kim, our second pair. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
-How do you two know each other? -We're both students at Sheffield. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
We're doing the same degree, so there's quite a lot in common. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
We're boyfriend and girlfriend | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
and we were in the same halls of residence in the first year, so we met there. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:31 | |
You met in the first year. How long into the first year? | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
-Erm... -First couple of weeks. -Yeah, yeah. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
-Ah! -Isn't it? | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
And where did you meet? | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
Er, it's a slightly embarrassing story, embarrassing for me. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
I have very occasionally been known | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
to indulge in the odd bit of sleep-walking... | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
-Yeah, yeah. -..and I got a bit confused... | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
Yeah, I bet you did. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:55 | |
-Drunk. -And then slept-walked into my flat | 0:01:55 | 0:02:00 | |
and fell asleep on the sofa, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
for me to find this random person asleep on my sofa. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
Yeah. Patrick, did you have any history of sleep-walking at all, be honest, before that? | 0:02:04 | 0:02:11 | |
Erm, not since childhood. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
So maybe I was regressing a bit, I don't know. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
Either way, it's brilliant having you here. Very best of luck. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
Next we welcome Jess and Mary. How do you two know each other? | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
We're mother and daughter and we live together. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
-Where? -We live in Canvey Island in Essex. -Canvey Island in Essex. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
Very good. Mary, what do you do? | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
I work as a mental health researcher | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
throughout the area, London and Essex. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
-And how about you, Jess? -I'm at uni, training to be a doctor. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
-What year are you in? -I'm in the fourth year. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
-And how many years? -Five, so only one more to go. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
And then you go into your houseman-ship or whatever it's called? | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
-Yeah. Then we have two years on-the-job training. -Right. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
-Just in case five wasn't enough. -Yeah. Nothing like enough. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
Mary, whose idea was it to come on the show? | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
Erm, Jessica's initially | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
but I wanted to come because I wanted to meet Richard. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
-LAUGHTER -Ah! | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
-Which I have, now. -Hang on, you sound almost disappointed. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
-No! -He's quite something, isn't he, Richard? -He is, yes. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
-Very, very best of luck to the pair of you. -Thank you. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
And finally we welcome back Troy And Staffan. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
Everyone gets two chances to reach the final and this is your second chance. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
-Remind us how you did last time. -Not too well, unfortunately. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
We were out in the first round. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
I had a 50:50 between two possible answers and I picked the wrong one. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
Remind us what you do, Troy. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
I'm a flight attendant working out of Heathrow, so... | 0:03:38 | 0:03:43 | |
-Long haul? -All over the world - America, Asia, Africa, you name it. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:48 | |
I'm so pleased, Troy, that you came in your uniform today. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
Oh, absolutely. I was so scared you guys would upstage me, | 0:03:51 | 0:03:56 | |
so I thought I'd better go the extra mile. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
Erm, you've slightly toned your trousers down since last time. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
-Yeah, just the leather pants today. -Yeah. -Yeah. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
And Staffan, positively humdrum, there. Look at that. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
In your jeans and your... Yeah. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
What do you do outside of work, Troy? | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
I like to play a bit of tennis and I do some yoga | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
and when I'm feeling really energetic at home, | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
I do the vacuuming in my undies. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
Because our flat is really warm | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
and it's just purely for practical purposes. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
OK. Very good. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
Staffan, how about you? | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
Er, when I'm not watching him doing the vacuum cleaning... | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
I maybe go to the gym and I do a bit of running as well. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
Very best of luck. It's great to have you back. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
We'll find out more through the show. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
There's only one person left for me to introduce. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
If there's something obscure in your neighbourhood, who are you going to call? | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
Why, my Pointless friend, it's Richard. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
MUSIC: "Ghostbusters" Hiya. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
CHEERING | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
Hello. Hello. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:03 | |
-Yeah. -How are you this afternoon? -I'm very well indeed. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
-I've got a question for you. -Oh, dear. -What kind of show have we got? | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
-We've got a great show. -Yeah? -A very big jackpot today. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
It's built up quite a lot. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
We've only got one returning pair, Troy and Staffan, | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
and they got knocked out in the first round. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
The returning pair's always at an advantage, | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
so we should see you going further today. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
But it should be very open and a lot of money to win at the end. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
Thanks very much, Richard. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:34 | |
We put our questions to 100 people before the show | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
and we're after the obscure answers they didn't get. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer, | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
that's an answer that none of our 100 people gave | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
and each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
No-one won the jackpot last time, so we add £1,000 to that. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
Today's jackpot starts off at £11,000. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
-CHEERING -There's a jackpot! | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
Right, let's play Pointless. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
In the first round, each of you must give me one answer | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
and you cannot confer. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
will be eliminated, so be careful that's not you. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
If anyone gives me an incorrect answer, they will score 100 points. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:23 | |
OK, our first category this afternoon is: | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
-You go first. -All decide who's going first, who's going second. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
OK, let's find out what the question is. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
We gave 100 people 100 seconds | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
to name as many Nicolas Cage films as they could. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:48 | |
We're looking for any feature made for general release | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
for which Nicolas Cage received an acting credit up to 2011. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
TV films, short films or documentaries don't count but voice performances do. | 0:06:55 | 0:07:00 | |
There are 57 films on this list. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
Paul and Mark, you drew lots before the show | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
and this afternoon, you get to go first. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
Yeah, I'm going to go for Bangkok Dangerous. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
I don't think it was as successful as the rest of them. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
You're hoping to score as few points as possible. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said Bangkok Dangerous. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
It's right. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:23 | |
-Come on. -It's right. Down it goes. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
-Oh! Very well done, Mark. -APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
That's a cracking answer. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:34 | |
One point. One point for Bangkok Dangerous. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:39 | |
-Richard? -Yes, a great start. From 2008. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
Nicolas Cage plays a hit man who travels to Bangkok | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
-but then falls in love. -Ooh, dangerous. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
It is dangerous, isn't it? | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
You should be very careful if you fall in love in Bangkok. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
You should be careful if you fall in love in Bangkok. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
-You never know. -Yeah. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
Now, then, Kim. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
What's the most obscure Nicolas Cage film you can summon up? | 0:07:59 | 0:08:04 | |
Erm, I can think of quite a few | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
but I think the one I'm going to go for - it's pretty bad - | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
-it's called Weather Man. -You're saying Weather Man. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
Let's see if that's right and how many people said Weather Man. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:18 | |
It's right. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
Down it comes. Another lovely low score. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
Look at that, that's brilliant. Very well done indeed. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
CHEERING | 0:08:29 | 0:08:30 | |
Three points for Weather Man. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
Yeah, well played, Kim. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:36 | |
He plays a Chicago weather man. Michael Caine is also in it. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
It should be called Chicago Dangerous because you shouldn't watch it. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
I remember that woman you brought back from Bangkok. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
-Remember her? -That's my wife you're talking about there. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
-Yes, but it's all fine. -And again, I say "she"... | 0:08:53 | 0:08:58 | |
-Mary... -Yes. -..we're looking for a Nicolas Cage film. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
You may be looking for a very long time. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
Erm, I'm going to go for something that I'm not sure about, | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
which is The Serpent. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
OK, The Serpent. You're hoping to score as few points as possible. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
Very best of luck, Mary. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
Let's see if that's right and how many people said it. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
Oh, no. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
-Oh, dear. -Bad luck, Mary. Bad luck. It sounded really good. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:30 | |
Unfortunately, it's an incorrect answer. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
That scores you the maximum of 100 points. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
-The Serpent, Richard. -Not a Nicolas Cage film, I'm afraid, | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
though that is the wrestling name of Alexander's third wife. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
Yes. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
-OK, now, then, Troy. -Alexander. -We come to you. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
What is the most obscure Nicolas Cage film you can pluck from thin air? | 0:09:51 | 0:09:55 | |
Staffan will kill me | 0:09:55 | 0:09:56 | |
but this is an actor I'm not a specialist in at all, | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
so I'm just going to have to go for a complete stab in dark | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
and say Se7en. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
Se7en, you're saying. You're hoping to score as few points as possible. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
Let's see if Se7en is correct and let's see how many people said it. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
-Yes, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer. -I'm not surprised. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
You also score the maximum of 100 points. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
Sorry, Troy. Richard? | 0:10:22 | 0:10:23 | |
Lots of people stabbed in the dark in Se7en but it's not a Nicolas Cage film, I'm afraid. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:28 | |
OK, thank you very much. We're halfway through the round, | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
so let's take a look at the scores as they stand. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
Well, it's a very broad field. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
On one point, Mark and Paul. Very, very well done. Bangkok Dangerous. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:42 | |
Then up to three points for Kim and Patrick. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
And then we come to some films that in one case... | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
It possibly does exist, it's just it's not... | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
I'd be surprised if there's not a film called The Serpent. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
And, Troy, Se7en, it is a film. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
I'm afraid it's not one that Nicolas Cage is in. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
So, yes, two massive scores there. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
Staffan and Jess, you are going to have to tussle it out between you | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
to see who stays for the next round and who will be leaving. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium? | 0:11:08 | 0:11:12 | |
OK, we're looking for Nicolas Cage films. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
-Staffan. -Yes. -You're the joint high scorers with Jess and Mary. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
You've got to really, really delve for an obscure Nicolas Cage film. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:29 | |
-Do you think you can do it? -I know a few | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
and the one I'm going to say, I'm not sure it's pointless or even close to pointless, | 0:11:31 | 0:11:37 | |
but I'm going to say it because I've always wanted to do this. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
Face/Off. Face/Off. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
-So that's what I'm saying. -Do you know what? | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
I'm so glad you've spent so long looking forward to that | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
because I'm telling you now, it was worth it. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:53 | |
That was amazing. Face/Off. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
OK, you have no red line because you are the high scorers. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
Let's just see how Face/Off does. Best of luck, Staffan. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:07 | |
Face/Off. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
Well done. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:11 | |
22. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
Very well done, Staffan. 22. That takes your total up to 122. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
-Richard? -Well done, Staffan. He starred in Face/Off. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
And a good mime, too. I'd like to see you mime Bangkok Dangerous, now. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
Now, then, Jess, we are looking for Nicolas Cage films. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
You are on 100 points. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
The high scorers on 122 are Staffan and Troy. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
If you can score 21 or less, you are through to the next round. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:48 | |
-What do you think, Jess? -I'm going to say National Treasure 2. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
National Treasure 2. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:55 | |
There is your red line. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:56 | |
If National Treasure 2 gets you below that line, | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
you are through to the next round. National Treasure 2. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
You're right! You are right. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:10 | |
And you're through to the next round. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
Very well done, you, Jess. National Treasure 2 scores seven. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:23 | |
-Well done. -An excellent score. It takes your total up to 107. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
You are through to the next round. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
-Well done. National Treasure 2, Richard? -Well played, Jess. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
From 2007, National Treasure 2, Book Of Secrets. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
He plays a sort of treasure hunter, Nicolas Cage, | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
and in that one he's looking for the secret of Lincoln's assassination. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:41 | |
OK. So, then, Patrick, we come to you. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
You are through to the next round. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
Even if you score 100 points, you won't overtake their score of 122. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
I was going to go for Face/Off but I don't think I could rival Staffan's gesture, | 0:13:51 | 0:13:56 | |
so I won't try to - and it's been taken. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
So I'm going to go for another Cage classic | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
-and I'll go for Con Air. -Con Air, you're saying. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
Let's see how many people said Con Air. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
-16! -APPLAUSE | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
-We're safe. -That's good. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
Not a bad answer, Patrick. 16 for Con Air, taking your total up to 19. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:25 | |
Well played, Patrick. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:26 | |
From 1997, with John Malkovich and John Cusack, | 0:14:26 | 0:14:30 | |
set aboard a plane full of convicts. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
Now, then, Paul. A brilliant low score there from Mark. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
It doesn't matter what you score here, you're through to the next round, | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
so why not see if you can find a truly pointless Nicolas Cage film? | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
I'm not really a big film buff any more. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
I think I know a film, though, he was in with Sean Connery. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:52 | |
I think it was called The Rock. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:53 | |
OK, yes. We're looking for Nicolas Cage films. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
Paul has just said The Rock. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
There it is. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:03 | |
Nine points for The Rock! Very well done, Paul. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
That takes your total up to ten. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:16 | |
Yeah, The Rock. Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
Michael Bay, who made Transformers and all sorts of things, he made it. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
Shall we take a look at some pointless answers? | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
Take a look at some pointless Nicolas Cage films. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
The Oscar-nominated Adaptation, he was in. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
He was one of the voices on G-Force. Guarding Tess. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
These are all pointless answers. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
Moonstruck, where Cher makes a play for him. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
Next and Racing With The Moon, all pointless answers. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
-Well done if you said any of those at home. -Thank you, Richard. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:47 | |
So at the end of round one, the losing pair with the highest score, it's Troy and Staffan. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
Well, this wasn't meant to happen at all. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
I think if I was Troy and I was just going to say a random film, | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
instead of Se7en I'd have said Troy. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
-Was that one of the answers? -No, it wasn't, but... | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
-It would have scored the same amount of points. -So I may as well have said it. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
What have you learnt from Pointless? What will you take away? | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
-Well... -Keep it glam. Keep it glamorous. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
-Keep it glamorous. -And gorgeous. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
You said it, Troy. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
Very well done. It's been brilliant having you on the show. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
I'm so sorry. It's our loss that we lose you so early on | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
-because you are fantastic contestants. -Thanks for having us. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
But for the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:33 | |
Now, only two pairs can make it through to the head to head, | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
so one team is going to be leaving us after this round. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
Our category for round two is: | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
It's words. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second? | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
And whoever's going first please step up to the podium. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
And our round two question this afternoon concerns: | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
In this round we're about to show you a list of clues | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
describing words or phrases beginning with the letter Q. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
We asked 100 people to tell us what each clue describes. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:20 | |
-Richard? -Yeah, we're going to show you six clues on each pass. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
The more obscure ones will score you fewer points. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
An incorrect answer will you score you 100 points. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
OK. Right, so, we are looking for what each clue describes | 0:17:30 | 0:17:35 | |
and we have got: | 0:17:35 | 0:17:36 | |
I'm going to read that one more time. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
And a partridge in a pear tree. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
Mark? | 0:18:07 | 0:18:08 | |
What are you going to say? | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
I think I know about four of them. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
I think the one I'm going to go for is the US TV series | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
starring Jack Klugman, which is Quincy. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
Quincy. There we are. You're saying Quincy. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
It's right! | 0:18:26 | 0:18:27 | |
-45. -APPLAUSE | 0:18:31 | 0:18:32 | |
-That's not bad, is it? -It's all right. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
Not bad. Quite a high score. 45 for Quincy, Richard. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
Yeah, first broadcast in the UK in 1977 but repeated ever since, | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
often on day time as well. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:46 | |
Jack Klugman plays Quincy. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:47 | |
It's based on the LA County Examiner Thomas Noguchi, | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
who conducted Marilyn Monroe's autopsy. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
There you go. Thank you very much. So, then, Patrick. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
I know about three for sure | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
and I can think of a rice-like grain beginning with Q | 0:18:59 | 0:19:04 | |
but whether it's eaten in the Andes I'm not sure, | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
so I don't know. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
I think I'm still going to go for it anyway | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
and I'm going to go for quinoa. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
-Quinoa. -Yeah. -Or as some people pronounce it, "keen-wah". | 0:19:14 | 0:19:18 | |
Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
Very well done. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
Very well done. 18 points for quinoa. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
Good answer, Patrick. Richard? | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
Yeah, very well played. Quinoa. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
The Incas used to call it the mother of all grains. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
OK, now then, Jess. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
We're looking for the words described on the board here | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
beginning with Q. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
You're the last person to have this board. Talk us through it. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
-You can supply answers. -Slang for £1 is a quid. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
The dance is a quickstep and the five babies are quintuplets. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
I don't know how you say that. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
I don't know if that's quite a common answer but I'm going to go for that. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:06 | |
-OK. -"Quin-tupp-lets". | 0:20:06 | 0:20:07 | |
"Quin-too-plets". I'm disagreeing with everyone's pronunciation. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:12 | |
You're saying quintuplets. Let's see if that's right and how many people said quintuplets. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
It's right. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
-64. -Mm. Yeah. -APPLAUSE | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
It's a right answer but a costly one, I would say. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
64 for quintuplets, Richard. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
Yeah. The first known surviving quintuplets were sisters in Canada in 1934. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:36 | |
The fast-paced ballroom dance, of course, is a quickstep, | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
which would have scored 55. Lots of big scores here. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
The savoury egg custard is a quiche. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
That would have scored 79. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
And the slang term for £1 scores one of those very rare 100s. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:52 | |
-Wow. -It's a quid. It would have scored you 100 points. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:56 | |
OK, thanks, Richard. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:57 | |
We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:01 | |
On 18 points, Patrick and Kim, doing very, very well. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
Then 45, Mark and Paul, not bad at all. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
with Klugman and Quincy. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
64. It's not a bad score, Jess, | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
but you are out in front, | 0:21:14 | 0:21:15 | |
so, Mary, you have to work hardest in the next pass. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
Can the second players please take their places at the podium? | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
OK, we're going to put six more clues describing words or phrases beginning with Q on the board | 0:21:24 | 0:21:30 | |
and here there are. We have got: | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
I shall read those all one more time. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
We are looking for the word or phrase each clue describes. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
You're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
-Mary? -I'm going to go for members of the Society of Friends | 0:22:04 | 0:22:09 | |
and I'm going to say Quaker. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
Quaker, you are saying. There's no red line because you are the high scorers. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:17 | |
You just have to hope this goes down as far as it possibly can. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
Quaker. Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Quaker. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:25 | |
It's right. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:26 | |
-Oh! -55. -APPLAUSE | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
Oh, a punishing score, there. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
55 for Quaker. Who'd have thought it would be that high? | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
It takes your total up to 119. Richard? | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
Yeah. It began in England in the 1640s, the Quakers. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
George Fox is widely believed to have been the founder. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
-Kim. -Yeah. -Kim, you're on 18. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
You are through to the next round. I can tell you that for nothing. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
Even if you score 100, | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
you will not overtake Mary and Jess on their 119. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
Bearing that in mind, why not take as big a risk as you need | 0:23:01 | 0:23:06 | |
to find a nice low-scoring answer? | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
I don't think I can. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
I can't really... Apart from the two ones that are fairly obvious | 0:23:10 | 0:23:14 | |
I can't think what the other ones are, | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
so I'm going to have to go for burger weighing four ounces, | 0:23:16 | 0:23:20 | |
which is a Quarter Pounder. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:21 | |
A Quarter Pounder. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:22 | |
Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
-APPLAUSE -80! | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
That scores you 80 and takes your total up to 98. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
Yeah, lots of big scores in this round. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
The Quarter Pounder was invented by Al Bernardin, a McDonald's franchise owner, | 0:23:40 | 0:23:44 | |
in 1971. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
Very good indeed. Thank you. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:47 | |
Now, then, we have a real contest on our hands. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
Paul, you're currently on 45. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
The high scorers on 119 are Jess and Mary. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
If you can score 73 or less, Paul, you are through to the head to head. | 0:23:55 | 0:24:01 | |
A female monarch, obviously, is a queen, isn't it? | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
Birds Of A Feather actress, Pauline Quirke. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
It's between the other two. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:08 | |
The answers are in my head but are they right? | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
Any animal which walks on four feet is a quadruped | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
and the sci-fi series, the only one I can think of, is Quantum Leap. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:19 | |
I'm going to go for the animal, with quadruped. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
You're going to say quadruped for animals that walk on four feet. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
If quadruped gets you below that red line, you are through to the head to head. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:32 | |
Let's see if quadruped's right and let's see how many people said quadruped. Good luck. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:36 | |
It's right. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:38 | |
And you're through to the head to head. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
-59. -APPLAUSE | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
CHEERING | 0:24:43 | 0:24:44 | |
Very well done. That takes your total up to 104. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:50 | |
-Quadruped, Richard. -Yeah, well played, Paul. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
A good risk to take. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:54 | |
From the Latin "quad" meaning four and "ped" meaning foot. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
Let's look at the rest of the board. The female monarch is the Queen. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:01 | |
That would have scored 98 points. Not 100. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
The Birds Of A Feather actress, it is Pauline Quirke. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:09 | |
She'll be delighted to hear she scores 82 points. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
And the sci-fi series starring Scott Bakula, it was Quantum Leap. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:16 | |
You were quite right. You could have gone for that and scored 27. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
That's the best answer. Well done if you said that. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
So at the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score is Jess and Mary. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:29 | |
-Who would have thought quintuplets was going to be so expensive? -Yes. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
-That was a costly answer. -And I knew quickstep as well. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
That probably would have been enough to see us through. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
Well, you've learnt, right there, the lesson of Pointless. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:43 | |
So we have to say goodbye now but it'll be great seeing you next time. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:47 | |
-Thanks very much. -Thank you. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
But for the remaining two pairs, things get even more exciting | 0:25:51 | 0:25:55 | |
as we enter the head to head. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
So, well done, Paul and Mark, Patrick and Kim. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
You've made it through to the head to head. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
Only one pair can make today's final and play for the jackpot, | 0:26:09 | 0:26:12 | |
which currently stands at £11,000. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:14 | |
WHOOPING | 0:26:14 | 0:26:17 | |
You'll now go head to head on the best of three questions. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
For each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
and you may now confer. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:26 | |
If you come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair, you win that question. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:31 | |
The first pair to get to the best of three will play for the jackpot. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:35 | |
Let's play Pointless. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
OK. Here is your first question. Good luck. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:45 | |
We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Christmas number ones of the 1980s as they could. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:53 | |
We're looking for any Christmas number one in the UK charts | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
from Christmas 1980 through to Christmas 1989. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:00 | |
Different versions of the same song will only count once. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:03 | |
Now, Paul and Mark, because you've played best so far, | 0:27:03 | 0:27:06 | |
you get to go first. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
We're going to try Wham!, Last Christmas. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
Wham!, Last Christmas. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
OK, Patrick and Kim. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:17 | |
I think we're going to go for The Power Of Love. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
Frankie Goes To Hollywood. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
So we have Last Christmas by Wham! | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
and we have the Power Of Love by Frankie Goes To Hollywood. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:28 | |
Paul and Mark, Last Christmas. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:29 | |
Is it right? How many people said it? | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
-Oh! -AUDIENCE GROANS | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
I seem to remember, yes, famously, not number one. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:38 | |
Patrick and Kim have gone for The Power Of Love, Frankie Goes To Hollywood. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:42 | |
Again, you're not sure if that's right. How many people said it? | 0:27:42 | 0:27:47 | |
No! | 0:27:48 | 0:27:50 | |
Also not a Christmas number one. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
So after the first question, no score. Richard? | 0:27:53 | 0:27:56 | |
The song to blame is Do They Know It's Christmas? | 0:27:56 | 0:27:59 | |
That kept Last Christmas off number one in 1984. It was number two. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:03 | |
The song it replaced was Power Of Love. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:06 | |
But let's take a look at all the answers. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
There's No-One Quite Like Grandma by St Winifred's School. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:11 | |
Save Your Love by Renee and Renato. They were pointless, | 0:28:11 | 0:28:14 | |
as was Jackie Wilson's Reet Petite. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:16 | |
Don't You Want Me? by Human League was number one in 1981. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:19 | |
The Pet Shop Boys, Always On My Mind would have scored you three points. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:23 | |
Here are the others. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:24 | |
The Flying Pickets' a capella Only You scored three points. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:27 | |
Merry Christmas Everyone by Shakin' Stevens scored 11. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:31 | |
Mistletoe And Wine by Cliff Richard scored 22 | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
and Do They Know It's Christmas? was number one twice, | 0:28:33 | 0:28:36 | |
in 1984 and 1989 with Band Aid 2. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:39 | |
-That would have scored you 30 points. -Thanks, Richard. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:42 | |
So, here is your second question. | 0:28:42 | 0:28:45 | |
We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Canadian provinces and territories as they could. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:52 | |
We're looking for any of the 13 provinces or territories that make up Canada. | 0:28:52 | 0:28:56 | |
OK, now, then, Patrick and Kim, you go first. | 0:28:56 | 0:28:59 | |
-OK, we have an answer? -Yeah. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:02 | |
We're trying to think as obscure as possible, as that's the name of the game. | 0:29:02 | 0:29:07 | |
so we're going to go for one of the more remote parts | 0:29:07 | 0:29:10 | |
and we think we're going to go for Newfoundland. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:13 | |
Newfoundland. OK. You're saying Newfoundland. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:17 | |
Paul and Mark? | 0:29:17 | 0:29:21 | |
We're thinking of Ottawa, Ontario, | 0:29:21 | 0:29:25 | |
but I think we're going to go for Quebec. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:27 | |
-You're going to go for Quebec. -Yeah. -Yeah. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:29 | |
We have Newfoundland and we have Quebec. | 0:29:29 | 0:29:33 | |
Patrick and Kim said Newfoundland. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it. | 0:29:33 | 0:29:37 | |
Well done. It's right. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:39 | |
-Wow! 11. -APPLAUSE | 0:29:44 | 0:29:45 | |
That's a nice, low score there for Newfoundland. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:55 | |
Let's see if Quebec can beat it, Paul and Mark going for Quebec. | 0:29:55 | 0:29:59 | |
Let's see if that's right and how many people said it. | 0:29:59 | 0:30:03 | |
It's right. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:05 | |
-45. -APPLAUSE | 0:30:07 | 0:30:10 | |
Newfoundland beats that roundly. | 0:30:11 | 0:30:14 | |
So after the second question, Patrick are up one-nil. Richard? | 0:30:14 | 0:30:17 | |
Yeah, well played, guys. | 0:30:17 | 0:30:19 | |
Let's take a look at all 13. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:23 | |
Prince Edward Island and Nunavut, the newest of Canada's territories, | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
created in 1999, they both would have scored you one. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:29 | |
New Brunswick would have scored two. Northwest Territories four. | 0:30:29 | 0:30:32 | |
Yukon Territory and Manitoba, both seven. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:35 | |
Saskatchewan would have scored you nine points. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:39 | |
Newfoundland or Newfoundland and Labrador, as it's called, | 0:30:39 | 0:30:42 | |
scored 11. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:43 | |
Nova Scotia 12. Alberta 16. | 0:30:43 | 0:30:45 | |
British Columbia 21, Ontario 41, | 0:30:45 | 0:30:48 | |
and Quebec right at the top with 45. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:51 | |
OK, thanks very much. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:53 | |
Here is your third question. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:55 | |
Paul and Mark, you have to win this question to stay in the game. | 0:30:55 | 0:30:58 | |
Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds | 0:30:59 | 0:31:03 | |
to name as many Generation Game hosts and hostesses as they could. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:08 | |
-Richard. -We're looking for any of the hosts, co-hosts or hostesses | 0:31:08 | 0:31:12 | |
of the Generation Game up to the start of 2011. | 0:31:12 | 0:31:15 | |
We're not looking for stand-ins on celebrity specials, | 0:31:15 | 0:31:18 | |
just any of the hosts, co-hosts or hostesses of the Generation Game. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:21 | |
OK, thanks very much. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:24 | |
Now, Paul and Mark, you go first this time. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:26 | |
I'm going to say - we're going to say, sorry - | 0:31:27 | 0:31:30 | |
Isla St Clair. | 0:31:30 | 0:31:32 | |
Isla St Clair. | 0:31:32 | 0:31:33 | |
Patrick and Kim you can do your talking out loud, if you like. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:36 | |
I think the answer we're going to go for is Larry Grayson. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:40 | |
OK, you're saying Larry Grayson. Paul and Mark said Isla St Clair. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:44 | |
Let's see how many people said Isla St Clair. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:46 | |
It's right. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:50 | |
Oh, it's low. Wow! | 0:31:54 | 0:31:56 | |
-Look at that - three! -APPLAUSE | 0:31:56 | 0:31:58 | |
CHEERING | 0:31:58 | 0:32:00 | |
That's the way to do it. Three for Isla St Clair. | 0:32:02 | 0:32:06 | |
Very well done. Great low score, there. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:08 | |
Patrick and Kim have gone for Larry Grayson. | 0:32:08 | 0:32:11 | |
Let's see how many people said Larry Grayson. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:13 | |
It's right. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:17 | |
-Ooh, 31. -APPLAUSE | 0:32:20 | 0:32:21 | |
Well, three beats 31. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:27 | |
So after three questions, you are one-all. | 0:32:27 | 0:32:31 | |
Absolutely even. Richard? | 0:32:31 | 0:32:32 | |
Yeah, Isla St Clair, a very, very good answer. | 0:32:32 | 0:32:35 | |
The answers that would have beaten it were mainly people who worked on the Jim Davidson series. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:40 | |
Stefania Aleksander worked with Brucie when it made a come-back on cable. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:44 | |
Lea Kristensen, Francine Lewis, also pointless. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:47 | |
They worked with Jim Davidson, as did Sally Meen and Melanie Stace. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:50 | |
Isla St Clair, there, with three. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:52 | |
Rosemarie Ford worked with Brucie, as did Anthea Redfern. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:56 | |
She scored eight. | 0:32:56 | 0:32:57 | |
Then the three hosts, there - Jim Davidson, 26. | 0:32:57 | 0:32:59 | |
Larry Grayson, 31, and Brucie on 80. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:02 | |
Here is your next question. | 0:33:02 | 0:33:04 | |
Whoever wins this question will be through to the final | 0:33:04 | 0:33:07 | |
and playing for that £11,000 jackpot. Very best of luck. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:11 | |
We gave 100 people 100 seconds | 0:33:11 | 0:33:12 | |
to name as many Roddy Doyle novels as they could. Richard? | 0:33:12 | 0:33:18 | |
We're looking for any of the nine fictional novels by Roddy Doyle. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:23 | |
We're not looking for plays, short stories or his children's books. | 0:33:23 | 0:33:26 | |
Any of the nine novels of Roddy Doyle. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:28 | |
OK, now, Patrick and Kim, you go first this time. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:33 | |
OK, yeah, we were between two, there | 0:33:37 | 0:33:39 | |
but I think I'm going to go, risk, the obscure one | 0:33:39 | 0:33:43 | |
and I think it's called The Woman Who Walked Into Doors. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:47 | |
The Woman Who Walked Into Doors, you are saying. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
OK, The Woman Who Walked Into Doors. Now, then, Paul and Mark. | 0:33:50 | 0:33:54 | |
The Woman Who Walked Into Doors has gone. | 0:33:54 | 0:33:57 | |
This is not one of our strong subjects, at all. | 0:33:57 | 0:33:59 | |
-We're just going to have to have a guess. -Just have a stab at it. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:02 | |
The Man Upstairs. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:05 | |
So we have The Woman Who Walked Into Doors and we have The Man Upstairs. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:09 | |
Let's take them in that order. | 0:34:09 | 0:34:11 | |
Patrick and Kim said The Woman Who Walked Into Doors. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:14 | |
Let's see how many people said it. Good luck. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:16 | |
That's right. It's a correct answer. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:20 | |
The Woman Who Walked Into Doors, down she goes... | 0:34:20 | 0:34:24 | |
-That's three. -APPLAUSE | 0:34:24 | 0:34:26 | |
CHEERING | 0:34:26 | 0:34:29 | |
That scores three. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:31 | |
Very well done indeed. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:38 | |
Now, then, Paul and Mark, you have said The Man Upstairs. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:41 | |
Let's see if that's a correct answer and if it is, let's see how many people said it. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:46 | |
Yeah, I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer, | 0:34:47 | 0:34:51 | |
as you'd probably guessed. | 0:34:51 | 0:34:53 | |
Which means that brilliant low score, Patrick and Kim, | 0:34:53 | 0:34:57 | |
earns you your place in the final, after four questions. | 0:34:57 | 0:35:01 | |
Patrick and Kim are through to the final, two-one. Richard? | 0:35:01 | 0:35:04 | |
Two answers would have beaten The Woman Who Walked Into Doors. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:08 | |
Let's take a look. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:09 | |
The follow-up to The Woman Who Walked Into Doors, Paula Spencer, | 0:35:09 | 0:35:13 | |
that's the name of the very woman, she would have scored one, | 0:35:13 | 0:35:16 | |
as would Oh, Play That Thing, one of the Henry Smart novels. | 0:35:16 | 0:35:19 | |
The Woman Who Walked Into Doors, 3, The Snapper, 3, Dead Republic, 3. | 0:35:19 | 0:35:23 | |
That's the third Henry Smart book. | 0:35:23 | 0:35:25 | |
A Star Called Henry, another Henry Smart book, four. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:28 | |
Then The Van was six. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:29 | |
Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, which won the Booker Prize, of course, | 0:35:29 | 0:35:32 | |
and The Commitments, his most famous, with 12 points. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:35 | |
Very well played, guys. | 0:35:35 | 0:35:36 | |
Thank you, Richard. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:38 | |
So the losing pair at the end of the head to head, it's Paul and Mark. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:41 | |
-Did you know any of those books? -No. -The Commitments, I've heard of. | 0:35:41 | 0:35:46 | |
-Yeah. -But not a strong point of mine, literature. | 0:35:46 | 0:35:49 | |
Well, you've done phenomenally well. You've stormed through to the head to head. | 0:35:49 | 0:35:54 | |
You've made it a nail-biter, even up to this far. | 0:35:54 | 0:35:57 | |
We will have to say goodbye to you but we'll see you again next time. | 0:35:57 | 0:36:01 | |
-We look forward to that. Thank you for playing. Thanks. -APPLAUSE | 0:36:01 | 0:36:05 | |
For Patrick and Kim, it's time for our Pointless final | 0:36:06 | 0:36:09 | |
and the chance to win our jackpot of £11,000. | 0:36:09 | 0:36:11 | |
CHEERING | 0:36:15 | 0:36:17 | |
Well, congratulations, Patrick and Kim. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:20 | |
You've fought off all the competition to win our coveted Pointless trophy. Well done. | 0:36:20 | 0:36:26 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:36:26 | 0:36:28 | |
You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot | 0:36:33 | 0:36:36 | |
and today, the jackpot stands at an incredible £11,000. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:41 | |
WHOOPING | 0:36:41 | 0:36:43 | |
To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer, | 0:36:45 | 0:36:48 | |
an answer that none of our 100 people could think of. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:51 | |
We haven't had any pointless answers today. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:54 | |
You only have to find one to go home with that money. | 0:36:54 | 0:36:56 | |
First you've got to choose a category from these three options. | 0:36:56 | 0:37:01 | |
You can go for: | 0:37:01 | 0:37:06 | |
-I was expecting some horrible categories. -They're quite good for us. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:10 | |
Politicians - we do politics. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:12 | |
-Countries - we're both quite good at geography. -Yeah. | 0:37:12 | 0:37:15 | |
But I think... Patrick's a real whizz at football. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:19 | |
-He's an encyclopaedia of knowledge. -That's putting me under pressure! | 0:37:19 | 0:37:23 | |
-But I think that can't be turned down. -It's up to you but I think... | 0:37:23 | 0:37:27 | |
-If that's all right with you? -Yeah, you... | 0:37:27 | 0:37:30 | |
I couldn't turn down a football question. | 0:37:30 | 0:37:32 | |
-We'll go for footballers. -You're spoilt for choice. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:35 | |
That so rarely happens on this show. | 0:37:35 | 0:37:37 | |
OK, let's find out what the question is. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:40 | |
We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Champions League final scorers as they could. | 0:37:40 | 0:37:48 | |
We're looking for any player who's scored in a Champions League final, | 0:37:48 | 0:37:51 | |
from the first Champions League final in 1993 through to the 2010 final. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:56 | |
OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers | 0:37:56 | 0:38:00 | |
and all you need to win that £11,000 | 0:38:00 | 0:38:02 | |
is for just one of those answers to be pointless. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:05 | |
Your 60 seconds start now. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:06 | |
Right, I think not the English teams | 0:38:06 | 0:38:09 | |
because people are going to support those teams and go for one of those. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:15 | |
-Do you think people from the '90s? -I know in 1997 | 0:38:15 | 0:38:22 | |
-Borussia Dortmund won it... -That sounds good. | 0:38:22 | 0:38:26 | |
-..and I know a player called Lars Ricken scored the goal. -Yeah? | 0:38:26 | 0:38:33 | |
-We need the next one, then. -Yeah. | 0:38:33 | 0:38:35 | |
Erm... I think last year's final is probably too recent. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:40 | |
-Er... -Any, like, Arsenal players? | 0:38:40 | 0:38:44 | |
We could go for Milito. He scored last year. | 0:38:44 | 0:38:48 | |
Those two players both sound good. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:51 | |
And also, I remember in the final against Arsenal, | 0:38:51 | 0:38:54 | |
it's a player called Belletti scored. | 0:38:54 | 0:38:57 | |
-So... -OK. So maybe those three. -Belletti... -Five seconds left. | 0:38:57 | 0:39:02 | |
-Ricken, Belletti, Milito. -Yeah. -Yeah. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:06 | |
-Yeah, I think we're... -OK, we are there. | 0:39:06 | 0:39:09 | |
Your time is up. We were looking for Champions League final scorers. | 0:39:09 | 0:39:12 | |
I now need your three answers. | 0:39:12 | 0:39:15 | |
OK, I think the most obscure one is a guy called Lars Ricken. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:18 | |
Lars Ricken. | 0:39:18 | 0:39:20 | |
Probably the second most obscure is a player called Juliano Belletti. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:24 | |
Juliano Belletti. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:26 | |
And then Diego Milito, who scored last season. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:29 | |
-Diego Milito. -I don't think that will be... Well, maybe... | 0:39:29 | 0:39:32 | |
You've said in reverse order of obscurity. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:36 | |
-I guess you'd want to put Ricken last. -Ricken last. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:39 | |
-Milito first. -And Milito first. -Yeah. -Yes. | 0:39:39 | 0:39:42 | |
OK, let's put them up on the board in that order. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:45 | |
Here they are. | 0:39:45 | 0:39:47 | |
We were looking for Champions League final scorers. | 0:39:51 | 0:39:56 | |
You said this was your least confident answer. | 0:39:57 | 0:40:00 | |
-Confident? -Not on this one. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:02 | |
-But, well... -Too recent in people's memories. | 0:40:02 | 0:40:06 | |
-Too fresh in their memories. -OK, Diego Milito. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:08 | |
Let's see if it's right and if so, let's see how many people said Diego Milito. | 0:40:08 | 0:40:13 | |
Well, it's right. Down it comes. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:18 | |
Now nice and low. Into the teens. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:23 | |
Into single figures. Still going down. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:26 | |
Look at that! Two! | 0:40:26 | 0:40:27 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:40:27 | 0:40:29 | |
Well, well, well, Patrick. | 0:40:29 | 0:40:31 | |
Patrick and Kim, that's not a pointless answer | 0:40:31 | 0:40:34 | |
but we can draw a lot of comfort from that, I think. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:37 | |
OK, you only two more chances to win today's jackpot. | 0:40:37 | 0:40:40 | |
£11,000. What would you do with £11,000? | 0:40:40 | 0:40:42 | |
-A massive holiday. An expensive holiday. -We'll be leaving the country ASAP, probably. | 0:40:42 | 0:40:48 | |
OK, well, very, very, very, very best of luck. | 0:40:48 | 0:40:52 | |
We are looking for Champions League final scorers. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:56 | |
Your next answer, Juliano Belletti. How did you come up with him? | 0:40:56 | 0:41:00 | |
Erm, it's quite a traumatic answer for me. | 0:41:00 | 0:41:03 | |
He scored the winning goal against Arsenal in the final in 2006, | 0:41:03 | 0:41:06 | |
so that's why I remember, really. | 0:41:06 | 0:41:08 | |
Yeah. Not for the right reasons but for other reasons. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:12 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said Juliano Belletti. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:18 | |
Very, very best of luck. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:19 | |
Well, it's right. | 0:41:22 | 0:41:24 | |
Diego Milito came down to two. | 0:41:24 | 0:41:27 | |
Juliano Belletti, let's see how far he's going to go down. | 0:41:27 | 0:41:30 | |
£11,000 riding on this. Down it goes. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:34 | |
-Yes!!! -CHEERING AND SCREAMING | 0:41:34 | 0:41:37 | |
Very, very, very well done indeed. | 0:41:39 | 0:41:42 | |
Brilliant. | 0:41:43 | 0:41:45 | |
I can't believe it! | 0:41:45 | 0:41:48 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:41:51 | 0:41:53 | |

which means you do go home with our jackpot of £11,000. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:09 | |
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:42:09 | 0:42:10 | |
What about that? A very, very popular win, as well. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:16 | |
Superb. We'll let you digest that. Richard, what about that? | 0:42:17 | 0:42:21 | |
Brilliant, well done, Patrick, especially. | 0:42:21 | 0:42:24 | |
Really, really well-deserved, as well. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:26 | |
Lars Ricken, also a pointless answer. Very well done. | 0:42:26 | 0:42:29 | |
Scored for Borussia Dortmund. CHEERS AND APPLAUSE | 0:42:29 | 0:42:32 | |
Let's take a look at some other pointless answers. | 0:42:36 | 0:42:40 | |
People at home will have got some of these. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:42 | |
Basile Boli scored for Marseille. Deco scored for Porto. | 0:42:42 | 0:42:47 | |
Fabrizio Ravanelli, he scored in the final for Juventus, | 0:42:47 | 0:42:51 | |
a pointless answer. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:52 | |
Fernando Morientes for Real Madrid. | 0:42:52 | 0:42:55 | |
Karl-Heinz Riedle scored two goals in that Borussia Dortmund final | 0:42:55 | 0:42:59 | |

He was also a pointless answer. | 0:43:11 | 0:43:13 | |
Thank you very much, Richard. | 0:43:13 | 0:43:16 | |

-I don't know what to do! -No. I feel like I'm in a dream. | 0:43:27 | 0:43:30 | |
Next time we'll put more obscure knowledge to the test. | 0:43:30 | 0:43:33 | |
-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard. -Goodbye. | 0:43:33 | 0:43:36 | |
And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye. | 0:43:36 | 0:43:38 | |
