0:00:20 > 0:00:23APPLAUSE

0:00:23 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:25 > 0:00:28Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30The quiz show where obvious answers mean nothing

0:00:30 > 0:00:33and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.

0:00:33 > 0:00:38APPLAUSE

0:00:38 > 0:00:42Welcome, James and Emma. You are our first pair on the show today.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45- Now, how do you two know each other? - We met at a pub quiz

0:00:45 > 0:00:48two and a half years ago and we're still together.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51Oh, two and a half years of hard quizzing and you're still together!

0:00:51 > 0:00:52- On the same team?- BOTH: Yes.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55James, what are Emma's strong points in the quiz department?

0:00:55 > 0:00:58Erm, tiny bits of knowledge here and there.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00Bit of TV, things like that.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Hear that? "Tiny bits of knowledge"!

0:01:02 > 0:01:04He has a lot of trust in me, yes!

0:01:04 > 0:01:06That's your boyfriend, yeah.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09Emma, describe James to me, in terms of his quizzing.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11He's very clever. He knows lots of pointless things.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13That's what you should've said, James.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16Very clever, he knows lots of pointless things.

0:01:16 > 0:01:17Well, there we are.

0:01:17 > 0:01:18What are you hoping is going to come up?

0:01:18 > 0:01:20A little bit of sport, films.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22A little bit of sport. Any particular sports?

0:01:22 > 0:01:24I'm a trampoline coach, so...

0:01:24 > 0:01:26You're a trampoline coach?!

0:01:26 > 0:01:28LAUGHTER

0:01:28 > 0:01:32What, you just stand at the edge going, "Jump! Jump! Jump!"

0:01:32 > 0:01:34- Yeah!- Wow!- That sounds about right.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36Yeah, fantastic.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Trampolining comes up a lot on the show, doesn't it?

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Yeah. If you like, yeah.

0:01:40 > 0:01:45We have our ups and downs, yeah. LAUGHTER

0:01:45 > 0:01:48- How about you, Emma? - I'd like motor sport to come up.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Right, motor sport. Why particularly motor sport?

0:01:50 > 0:01:54I've grown up with it. My dad used to mechanic a stock car driver.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Did he?- So I've grown up with it. - Oh, that's fabulous!

0:01:57 > 0:01:59You've spent your childhood on the tracks?

0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Yeah, around, like, ovals. - Very good indeed!

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Well, it's great to have you here.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Very best of luck on Pointless. - Thank you.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08Next we welcome back Ray and Rich. You were on the show last time.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Everyone gets two chances to reach the final.

0:02:10 > 0:02:11This is your second chance.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Remind us how you know each other, Rich.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17We're father-in-law, son-in-law.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19And Ray, what happened last time?

0:02:19 > 0:02:24We had cities of the UK that are not in England,

0:02:24 > 0:02:26and I went for Brechin city,

0:02:26 > 0:02:29- but they're not a city. - They're not in the city club.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31- No.- Yet.- Yet!

0:02:31 > 0:02:34We've started a campaign, Ray, you and me.

0:02:34 > 0:02:35And we're going to see Brechin

0:02:35 > 0:02:38welcomed into the cityhood any day now.

0:02:38 > 0:02:39Hope so!

0:02:39 > 0:02:42This time surely you should be likely to be in the final,

0:02:42 > 0:02:46I'd have thought. What'll get you there, Ray?

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Er, anything to do with fish.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52LAUGHTER

0:02:52 > 0:02:56He keeps tropical fish and coldwater fish. He told us last time.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00- So, anything to do with fish. - Nature.- Nature.- Yes. Vegetables.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Fish, nature, vegetables.- Yes.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Ray, anything you wouldn't like to see come up?- Words.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08- Words? - HE GASPS

0:03:08 > 0:03:10We use them a lot on this show, don't we?

0:03:10 > 0:03:12Yeah, OK. Words. Rich?

0:03:12 > 0:03:14- Politics.- Words and politics.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16Yeah. Or trampolining.

0:03:16 > 0:03:21Or trampolining. It's going to come up now, isn't it? Absolutely.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Well, great to have you back. A warm welcome back to Pointless.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27Also we welcome back Lee and Ashley who were on last time.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Remind us, Ashley, how you two know each other.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34Erm, we met when working in a clothes shop,

0:03:34 > 0:03:35and now we go to university together

0:03:35 > 0:03:37and we've been friends for a few years.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40We coach football together down in Brighton.

0:03:40 > 0:03:41Very good indeed.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45Now, Ashley, you're a great fan of Disney and Craig David.

0:03:45 > 0:03:50Yeah...I do like to sing a bit of Craig David in the shower.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52Which bit of Craig David do you like to sing?

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Erm...I did try to have his hair when I was younger.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Did you? Did you ever try and do the tiny little beard?

0:03:58 > 0:04:01Yeah. I had a go, but it didn't work. I'm still trying now.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03- OK. Needle-thin, it was.- Mmm. - Needle-thin!

0:04:03 > 0:04:07Lee, what's going to be great for you? What would you like to see?

0:04:07 > 0:04:09I'd like to see a bit of sport.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Obviously football is a particular area.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Maybe also a bit of chemistry.

0:04:13 > 0:04:14When I play along at home,

0:04:14 > 0:04:17I often do quite well on those sorts of questions.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19OK. The periodic table, are you good on that?

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Yeah, I'd like to think so. Yeah.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25OK. Well, it's lovely to have you back on the show. Very best of luck.

0:04:25 > 0:04:29Finally we welcome back our third returning pair, Ed and Natalie.

0:04:29 > 0:04:30You were also on the show last time.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Natalie, remind us how you know each other.

0:04:32 > 0:04:33We're married.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36We met at work and got together on a work's night out.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38Nobody else turned up.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Four years later, here we are.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Here you are on Pointless! There we are.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46Now, Ed, you're both police officers.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49What would you like to see come up today?

0:04:49 > 0:04:50I wouldn't mind a bit of sport,

0:04:50 > 0:04:53but I think there's a lot of football fans here.

0:04:53 > 0:04:54So I'm going to say rugby.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56I'd like a bit of rugby. That would be good.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59OK. Natalie, anything you'd like to nominate?

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Food and drink. I quite like my food and wine.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Do you? Do you both do the cooking?

0:05:04 > 0:05:07- We do it separately, because we'd argue if we did it together.- Yeah.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Disney, as well. Big fan of Disney.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Disney, OK. Well, lovely to have you back on the show. Very best of luck.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18There's only one person left for me to introduce.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21A man so cool, he uses de-icer as deodorant.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24- He's my Pointless friend. He's Richard.- Hiya!

0:05:24 > 0:05:30APPLAUSE

0:05:30 > 0:05:33- How are you today? - I'm well, thank you.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35I think we've got a very strong line up.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Although, on podium one we've got James and Emma.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40And statistically, in the history of Pointless,

0:05:40 > 0:05:41we've never had a losing couple

0:05:41 > 0:05:44who were a trampoline coach and stock car enthusiast.

0:05:44 > 0:05:49Never. That combination has never, ever lost.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51- Can you believe that? - Wow, amazing.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53And how many shows have we done? 260-270?

0:05:53 > 0:05:55That combination, NEVER lost.

0:05:55 > 0:05:59Sorry, everyone else, but it's just one of those things.

0:05:59 > 0:06:00One of those quirks.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02OK, very good indeed. Thank you, Richard.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show,

0:06:05 > 0:06:08but we are looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10To stay in the game and be in with a chance of winning our jackpot,

0:06:10 > 0:06:13our players must score as few points as they possibly can.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16Now what everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19That's an answer that none of our 100 people gave.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.

0:06:25 > 0:06:30So today's jackpot starts off at £7,250.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32APPLAUSE

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39APPLAUSE

0:06:43 > 0:06:46OK, in the first round, each of you must give me one answer,

0:06:46 > 0:06:48and you cannot confer with your partner.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Whichever pair has the highest score

0:06:50 > 0:06:52at the end of the round will be eliminated.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55If you give me an incorrect answer, you score the maximum 100 points.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57So do try and avoid those.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00OK, our first category today is Singers.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first

0:07:03 > 0:07:04and who's going to go second.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:07:12 > 0:07:16OK, our question concerns famous singers and their nicknames.

0:07:16 > 0:07:20Famous singers and their nicknames. Richard?

0:07:20 > 0:07:21Yes, a good question, this one.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23We'll show you seven nicknames of famous singers.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26You just have to tell us the name of the singer, please.

0:07:26 > 0:07:27First name and surname.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30There's going to be 14 in all for you to have a go at, at home.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Give us an obscure answer, you'll score fewer points.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Give us an incorrect answer, though, there'll be 100 points.

0:07:35 > 0:07:36Very best of luck.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Thanks very much, Richard.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40OK, James and Emma, you all drew lots before the show

0:07:40 > 0:07:42and today you are going to go first.

0:07:42 > 0:07:46So we are looking for the singers who have these nicknames.

0:07:46 > 0:07:47And we have got:

0:07:57 > 0:08:00I'll read them one more time.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09There are seven nicknames for seven singers.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13And Emma, I would like you to name the most obscure one there.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17Well, I don't know many of them, which is quite disappointing.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21But I think I'll go with Baby Spice and Emma Bunton.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Baby Spice, Emma Bunton. Let's see if that's right,

0:08:24 > 0:08:26and if it is, how many people knew that answer.

0:08:26 > 0:08:27Baby Spice, Emma Bunton.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31It's right.

0:08:32 > 0:08:33Ooh, that's high!

0:08:33 > 0:08:3772. 72! Who'd have thought?!

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Yeah. Known as Baby because she was the youngest.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41The nicknames were actually accidental,

0:08:41 > 0:08:44not made up by the management or anything like that.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46It was Top of the Pops Magazine.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49They just, in a little article, named them all and it absolutely stuck.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52There you go. Now then, Ray.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54We are looking for the famous singers

0:08:54 > 0:08:57who are known by these nicknames.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59How does that board look to you?

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Not too bad.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04- I know one! - LAUGHTER

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Right, I'm going to go with Satchmo and Louis Armstrong.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Satchmo, Louis Armstrong.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people knew.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Yes, it's right.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Ooh, down it goes to 32. Not bad at all. 32, Richard.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26APPLAUSE

0:09:28 > 0:09:31Yes, Satchmo, short for Satchel-Mouth.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Supposedly because when he used to busk, he would hide the pennies

0:09:34 > 0:09:38in his mouth to stop bigger kids stealing them from him.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41I thought it was Satchel-Mouth because of the roughness of his...

0:09:41 > 0:09:43- GROWLS LIKE LOUIS ARMSTRONG:- ..noise.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46- What, like a satchel?- Well, yeah. Like the inside of a satchel.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48- Quite rough. - QUIET LAUGHTER

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Now you mention that, it doesn't really add up, does it?

0:09:51 > 0:09:53- Yeah, doesn't really add up, does it?- No.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56- Either way, it's a good nickname. - It's a cracking nickname.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59Thank you very much. Now then, Lee.

0:09:59 > 0:10:00We are looking for the famous singers

0:10:00 > 0:10:03who are known by these nicknames.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05Right, there's two on there that I know.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07One, I think, is going to be quite high.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09So I'm going to go for the other one,

0:10:09 > 0:10:12which is Slowhand, Eric Clapton.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Slowhand, Eric Clapton, says Lee. Let's see if it's right,

0:10:14 > 0:10:16and if it is, how many people knew that answer.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Slowhand, Eric Clapton.

0:10:20 > 0:10:21It's right.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29- 25. - APPLAUSE

0:10:29 > 0:10:31Our best score so far, Lee.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33- 25 for Slowhand. - Yeah, good answer, Lee.

0:10:33 > 0:10:37Also the name of a 1977 album by Eric Clapton.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Ed, you're the last person to have this board.

0:10:40 > 0:10:44The Big O, I would guess...I'm not going to go for it,

0:10:44 > 0:10:47is...I was going to say Barry White, if J-Lo had gone.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50But I know J-Lo, and it's going to keep us in for now.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53So I'm going to say Jennifer Lopez, J-Lo.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56J-Lo, Jennifer Lopez, says Ed. Let's see if it's right,

0:10:56 > 0:10:59and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01J-Lo, Jennifer Lopez.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04It's right.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Ooh! 82!

0:11:06 > 0:11:0982 for J-Lo, Jennifer Lopez.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12- That is a huge score, isn't it? - Isn't it?

0:11:12 > 0:11:14- Great nickname, J-Lo, though.- It is.

0:11:14 > 0:11:19- BoJo, they call Boris Johnson as well, don't they?- Yes, and SuBo.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22SuBo, for Susan Boyle. Let's fill in the rest of the board.

0:11:22 > 0:11:23The Big O, it's not Barry White.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25The clue's in the letter,

0:11:25 > 0:11:26it's Roy Orbison.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29That would have scored 30, so you did well to avoid that.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31Lady Day. Do you know that one?

0:11:31 > 0:11:32Er, yes, Billie Holiday.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35Billie Holiday, absolutely right. Would have scored 9.

0:11:35 > 0:11:36And The Divine Miss M?

0:11:36 > 0:11:38- Nooo.- Nooo.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41It's Bette Midler. Bette Midler is The Divine Miss M.

0:11:41 > 0:11:4418 points. So the best answer on the board is Lady Day, there.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46Billie Holiday. So well done if you said that.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49Very good. Thank you. We're halfway through the round.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Let's take a look at those scores. The best score of the round, Lee.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56Lee and Ashley looking very strong there, lovely low score of 25.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59Then we go up to find Ray and Rich on 32.

0:11:59 > 0:12:03Then up to 72, where we find Emma and James.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06And then Ed and Natalie quite a long way ahead there on 82.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08So Natalie, find a nice, low-scoring answer

0:12:08 > 0:12:10and hopefully that'll be enough to keep you in the game.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14We're coming back down the line. Can the second players take their place at the podium?

0:12:17 > 0:12:20OK, we're going to put seven more nicknames on the board.

0:12:20 > 0:12:21And here they come.

0:12:21 > 0:12:26We have got The Man in Black, The Silver Fox, The Modfather,

0:12:26 > 0:12:32Little Miss Dynamite, Ol' Blue Eyes, The Boss, The Godfather of Soul.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35I'll read them all one more time:

0:12:44 > 0:12:47Remember, you are looking for the names of these singers

0:12:47 > 0:12:51and you're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54Now then, Natalie, you're the high-scorers on 82.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56Yeah, I think we might stay that way!

0:12:56 > 0:13:00I've heard of quite a few of them,

0:13:00 > 0:13:03but I really don't know who most of them apply to.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06So I am going to take Barry White

0:13:06 > 0:13:10and apply it to The Godfather of Soul and just hope.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Barry White, The Godfather of Soul.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15Barry White you say. OK, there's no red line for you,

0:13:15 > 0:13:16as you are the high scorers.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19Let's see if Barry White is The Godfather Of Soul,

0:13:19 > 0:13:21and if he is, how many people said that.

0:13:24 > 0:13:25Bad luck!

0:13:25 > 0:13:27I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer

0:13:27 > 0:13:29which scores you 100 points

0:13:29 > 0:13:31and takes your score up to 182.

0:13:31 > 0:13:32A high score, I'm afraid,

0:13:32 > 0:13:36no-one is going to overtake, even if they score 100 points.

0:13:36 > 0:13:37- Richard.- Yeah, sorry, Natalie.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39Barry White is The Walrus Of Love.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42- Good name, isn't it? - It is a good name.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44He didn't have a big moustache, did he?

0:13:44 > 0:13:46Yeah, he had a moustache.

0:13:46 > 0:13:47He had massive tusks.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50He lived on a semi-submerged rock on Monterey Bay.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52LAUGHTER

0:13:52 > 0:13:54He ate fish.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56- LAUGHTER - Ashley.

0:13:56 > 0:14:00The high-scorers are Ed and Natalie on 182. You're on 25.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03Even if you score 100 points, you won't overtake their high score.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06So maybe, thus emboldened,

0:14:06 > 0:14:08you can take a bit of a gamble on this board.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11Well, I'm actually feeling quite lucky,

0:14:11 > 0:14:13because my knowledge of these isn't great.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16I can imagine family at home shouting at the screen right now.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18I'm going to take a guess.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20I'm also going to go with The Godfather of Soul,

0:14:20 > 0:14:22but I'm going to go for James Brown.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24The Godfather of Soul, James Brown.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26OK, let's see if that's right, and if it is,

0:14:26 > 0:14:28let's see how many said James Brown.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30No red line as you're already through.

0:14:32 > 0:14:33It's right.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39Not bad at all.

0:14:39 > 0:14:4232 for The Godfather of Soul. Takes your total up to 57.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44That's quite low for The Godfather of Soul.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47Yeah, it is quite low, but good score for Ashley. Well played.

0:14:47 > 0:14:53Up till 2010 he had the second most entries on the Billboard 100.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55That's the American singles chart.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58Elvis, of course, had the most. But now he's number three.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Do you know who overtook him? - Craig David.

0:15:00 > 0:15:01No. Elvis, James Brown.

0:15:01 > 0:15:05The people who had the most singles in the American chart in history.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Someone overtook him last year.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11It was the cast of Glee. That's what it was.

0:15:11 > 0:15:12- Really?- Yeah.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15Well, they had a huge amount of hits at the same time.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17- They released everything from Glee. - Of course, of course.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20Of course he was The Godfather of Soul.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23He's actually The First Cousin of Funk.

0:15:23 > 0:15:24First cousin, once removed?

0:15:24 > 0:15:27- Yeah.- His big problem was he could never work out

0:15:27 > 0:15:29whether to get up or get down. That was his thing.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32His whole career was caught on a cleft stick between the two.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35He was very much The Grand Old Duke of York of Funk.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37- Certainly that, yeah.- You know?

0:15:37 > 0:15:41Now then, Rich. Again, it doesn't matter what you score.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43You're through to the next round.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45Remember, we are looking for the famous singers

0:15:45 > 0:15:47associated with these nicknames.

0:15:47 > 0:15:51Definitely know two, possibly three.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53But I'm going to play it relatively safe, I think.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56There's no need. You're through. Whatever.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59Well, The Boss, I think, is Bruce Springsteen.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01The Boss, Bruce Springsteen.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03Let's see if that's right, and how many people said that.

0:16:08 > 0:16:1061. 61, not bad.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13Takes your total up to 93. Richard.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16And safely through as well, Rich. Bruce Springsteen.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19Of course, Reagan tried to use Born In The USA as his campaign song

0:16:19 > 0:16:20and Springsteen vetoed it.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23He said, "It means the exact opposite of what you think it means."

0:16:23 > 0:16:26What, he wasn't born in the USA?

0:16:26 > 0:16:30No, it wasn't about being proud of being born in the USA.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32- No, no, I know. - Although he WAS born in the USA.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35- He was.- And he was born to run.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37- Yeah. Baby, he was.- Yeah.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39James.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41I guess people have been avoiding this one,

0:16:41 > 0:16:45but I'm going to have to go for Ol' Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47Frank Sinatra, says James. Doesn't matter what you score,

0:16:47 > 0:16:49you're through to the next round.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52No red line for you. Ol' Blue Eyes. Is it Frank Sinatra?

0:16:52 > 0:16:53How many people said it?

0:16:55 > 0:16:57It's right.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59Ooh, 73.

0:16:59 > 0:17:03That's good grouping, isn't it? Emma scored 72, you scored 73.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05It takes your total up to 145.

0:17:05 > 0:17:10Yeah, the FBI's file on Frank Sinatra ran to 1,300 pages.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12- Wow!- They kept a very close eye on him.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14Let's go through the rest of the board.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16This was a slightly easier board than the last one.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18Those bottom three, all big scorers.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21And the top one also a fairly big scorer, The Man in Black,

0:17:21 > 0:17:22the wonderful Johnny Cash.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25He's my favourite. 25 points.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27- The Modfather?- Paul Weller.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30Paul Weller, absolutely right. 23 points. Little Miss Dynamite?

0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Slightly harder, this. It's not Ms Dynamite.- No, exactly.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36Is it Ms Dynamitee-hee?

0:17:36 > 0:17:39No, it's not. It's from an earlier era.

0:17:39 > 0:17:40Brenda Lee was Little Miss Dynamite.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43Would have scored 7 points. And The Silver Fox?

0:17:43 > 0:17:45Country singer, again from an early era.

0:17:45 > 0:17:46- Don't know.- Charlie Rich.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49And that's the best answer on the board. 2 points.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52Very well done, anyone who got a lot of those 14. Very impressive.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Thank you very much indeed.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57So at the end of the first round,

0:17:57 > 0:17:59the losing pair with the highest score, Ed and Natalie.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01Oh dear, oh dear.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Godfather of Soul, Barry White. The Walrus of Love!

0:18:04 > 0:18:05No.

0:18:05 > 0:18:09- I hate Barry White now. - LAUGHTER

0:18:09 > 0:18:11I thought you were going to go right through.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13And I'm afraid Barry White has let you down.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16- He has.- I'm so sorry.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18It's been lovely having you.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Sorry we have to say goodbye to you so soon.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23APPLAUSE

0:18:23 > 0:18:25But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Now, there's only going to be room for two pairs in the head-to-head,

0:18:33 > 0:18:37so one of the teams in front of me will be leaving us at the end of this round.

0:18:37 > 0:18:41Lee and Ashley, conspicuously the low-scorers in that first round.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43You would seem to be the pair to beat.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45James and Emma, you want to be careful.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48You're quite high-scoring there.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51The category for Round Two is The USA.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53Can you all decide who's going first

0:18:53 > 0:18:54and who's going to go second.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:19:02 > 0:19:06to name as many Atlantic US states as they could.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Atlantic US states, Richard.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10This is one of those questions

0:19:10 > 0:19:13that is going to have everyone at home rushing for their atlases.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16We're looking for any of the 14 US states

0:19:16 > 0:19:19which has a coastline on the Atlantic Ocean, please.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22We won't accept any states that are just on the Gulf of Mexico.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25They have to have coastline on the Atlantic Ocean. 14 of them.

0:19:25 > 0:19:29Very best of luck at home, and very best of luck in the studio.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31OK, thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34Now then, Emma, you are going to go first.

0:19:34 > 0:19:38- Something tells me you're not delighted with this category.- No!

0:19:38 > 0:19:42- I'm not very good at geography at the best of times.- OK.

0:19:42 > 0:19:43- I know states.- OK.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46I know a few states, so I might just take one.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49I will go with...

0:19:49 > 0:19:50Alaska.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52OK. Alaska, says Emma. Let's see if it's right,

0:19:52 > 0:19:57and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Alaska.

0:19:57 > 0:20:01James, not looking too happy with that.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04LAUGHTER

0:20:06 > 0:20:08Ooh! Bad luck, Emma!

0:20:08 > 0:20:12I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer which scores you 100 points.

0:20:12 > 0:20:13I'm sorry. Richard?

0:20:13 > 0:20:16Yeah, sorry, Emma. I mean, a huge state, so worth a guess,

0:20:16 > 0:20:18but a bit too far north for the Atlantic, I'm afraid.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21Now then, Ray.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24- Yes.- Ray. - RAY LAUGHS

0:20:24 > 0:20:27Remember we are looking for US states with an Atlantic coastline.

0:20:27 > 0:20:31- Have you been to North America?- No.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33ALEXANDER LAUGHS

0:20:33 > 0:20:35You took quite a long time to access that!

0:20:35 > 0:20:39So I'm just going to have a stab in the dark and say...

0:20:39 > 0:20:40Pennsylvania.

0:20:40 > 0:20:44Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania, says Ray.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46Let's see if that's right,

0:20:46 > 0:20:48and if it is, let's see how many people said Pennsylvania.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53No! Bad luck, Ray.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56I'm afraid that's also incorrect,

0:20:56 > 0:20:58which means you score 100 points as well.

0:20:58 > 0:20:59It's going well, isn't it?!

0:20:59 > 0:21:01Yes, this is terrific stuff(!)

0:21:01 > 0:21:04It's land-locked, Pennsylvania, I'm afraid.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Lee, an Atlantic coastal state.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09OK, I have been to East Coast America,

0:21:09 > 0:21:11but where I've been to, I'm not going to say.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13I've got two others in my head,

0:21:13 > 0:21:17and I think I'm going to take a slight gamble and say Rhode Island.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20Rhode Island. Sounds costal to me.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Let's see if it's right, and how many people said it.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27It's right!

0:21:32 > 0:21:34Very, very well done indeed, Lee!

0:21:34 > 0:21:37APPLAUSE

0:21:37 > 0:21:40A correct answer, and an extremely low score.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42- Very well done. Richard? - Yeah, well played, Lee.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45Going much better for you today, isn't it?

0:21:45 > 0:21:46It's the smallest state in the USA,

0:21:46 > 0:21:48and one of its nicknames is in fact The Ocean State.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50We're halfway through the round.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Let's take a look at those scores.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54Only two scores between the three pairs.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56Lee and Ashley looking very strong indeed on 6.

0:21:56 > 0:22:01Then Ray and Rich, and Emma and James, tied on 100.

0:22:01 > 0:22:05So it's going to be Rich against James to see who stays with us,

0:22:05 > 0:22:07and who will be leaving us at the end of the round.

0:22:07 > 0:22:11OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?

0:22:13 > 0:22:18So remember, we are looking for US states with an Atlantic coastline.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21- Didn't Lee do brilliantly there? - He did! He did really well.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23Fantastic answer, there.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26Now the high-scorers are Rich and Ray, and James and Emma, on 100.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28You're on 6.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31A score of 93 or less will see you through to the head-to-head.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34Well, I had some in mind that I was going to go for a bit of a risk,

0:22:34 > 0:22:37but I'm going to attempt to make the round safe, and say Florida.

0:22:37 > 0:22:41Florida, says Ashley. Florida. Here's your red line, nice and high.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43Below that line, you're in the head-to-head.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46How many people said Florida?

0:22:48 > 0:22:51Absolutely right, and you're through.

0:22:52 > 0:22:5450.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56APPLAUSE

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Not a bad answer at all, Ashley. That takes your total up to 56.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02- You're through to the head-to-head. - Yes, well played, Ashley.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04Very, very good tactics there, and safely through.

0:23:04 > 0:23:08Named by Juan Ponce de Leon, the explorer.

0:23:08 > 0:23:09- Rich.- Yeah.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11You're the high-scorers.

0:23:11 > 0:23:14Joint high-scorers on 100 points.

0:23:14 > 0:23:18Now remember, we are looking for US states with an Atlantic coastline.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21Well, hopefully it's safe.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25I think I'm going to go for New York State.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27New York, says Rich. Let's see if that's right,

0:23:27 > 0:23:29and how many people said it.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32No red line for you, as you are joint high-scorers. New York.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35It's right.

0:23:38 > 0:23:4043.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43APPLAUSE

0:23:43 > 0:23:4643 takes your total to 143. Richard?

0:23:46 > 0:23:49Yeah, correct answer, and puts the pressure on James.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51It's got 130 miles of Atlantic coastline,

0:23:51 > 0:23:55but nearly three times as much coastline on Lake Eerie and Lake Ontario.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58James, the high-scorers are now Rich and Ray on 143. You are on 100.

0:24:00 > 0:24:04A score of 42 or less is enough to get you through to the head-to-head.

0:24:04 > 0:24:09Right, it's between a few. I've got three in my mind. So...

0:24:09 > 0:24:11Is this a good category for you, James?

0:24:11 > 0:24:15It's reasonable. I've been looking at America.

0:24:15 > 0:24:16So let's go with Maine.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19Maine, says James. Maine. There is your red line.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23If you get below that red line with Maine,

0:24:23 > 0:24:24you are through to the next round.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27Maine. Is it right? How many people said it?

0:24:30 > 0:24:32Very well done, James. It's right.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36And you are through to the next round.

0:24:36 > 0:24:3717.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39APPLAUSE

0:24:39 > 0:24:4217 for Maine takes your total up to 117.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44APPLAUSE

0:24:44 > 0:24:47Well played. Who'd have thought, when you started off with 100,

0:24:47 > 0:24:50that you would have qualified? That's some real bounce back.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52- Isn't it?- Amazing.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55I don't know what this guy does for a living, but...

0:24:55 > 0:24:57LAUGHTER

0:24:57 > 0:25:00It's like he stands at the edge of a trampoline,

0:25:00 > 0:25:02shouting encouragement to children.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04Yeah, I'm assuming he can trampoline as well.

0:25:04 > 0:25:05Yeah, still do a bit.

0:25:05 > 0:25:09Yeah, this guy can trampoline. That's what he was doing there.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11- That was awesome.- OK!

0:25:11 > 0:25:13There's no pointless answers here

0:25:13 > 0:25:16but let's go through the lowest scorers.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Delaware would have been the best answer you could have given for 3.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22Maryland for 4, New Hampshire for 5.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25Before we look at the biggest scorers, I'll take you through a few.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28Connecticut, South Carolina, Georgia,

0:25:28 > 0:25:30Virginia, North Carolina, Massachusetts, New Jersey.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34And these three top ones, which we've already heard, actually.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38Maine, which James gave us, that would have scored you 17.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42Rich gave us New York for 43, and Ashley's Florida,

0:25:42 > 0:25:43actually top of the pile, on 50.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47Very well done anybody who got all 14 without cheating.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50And if you got all 14 with cheating, well played as well.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52- Because it shows...- Resourcefulness. - Resourcefulness, exactly.

0:25:52 > 0:25:56Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So at the end of Round Two,

0:25:56 > 0:26:00the losing pair with the high score, it's Ray and Rich.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02- Aw!- Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!

0:26:02 > 0:26:04AUDIENCE: Aw!

0:26:04 > 0:26:05Geography!

0:26:05 > 0:26:08- It's no good, is it, really? - No good at all!

0:26:08 > 0:26:11Rich and Ray, awful to be saying goodbye to you so soon.

0:26:11 > 0:26:12It's been lovely having you on.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14Thank you both so much for playing.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16- Thank you.- Great contestants. - APPLAUSE

0:26:16 > 0:26:18But for the remaining two pairs,

0:26:18 > 0:26:22things are about to get more exciting, as we enter the head-to-head.

0:26:27 > 0:26:31Well, congratulations, Lee and Ashley, James and Emma.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33You are now only one round away from the final,

0:26:33 > 0:26:35and a chance to play for our jackpot,

0:26:35 > 0:26:38which currently stands at £7,250.

0:26:38 > 0:26:43APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:26:43 > 0:26:46Now obviously only one pair can play for that money.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48So to decide which pair it's going to be,

0:26:48 > 0:26:51you're now going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:26:54 > 0:26:58And the great news is you are now allowed to confer.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01Well, Lee and Ashley, you would seem to be the pair to beat.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03You've been the lowest scorers in both our rounds.

0:27:03 > 0:27:06James and Emma, you've been lucky to get through

0:27:06 > 0:27:08and you're in the head-to-head.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11So it's all to play for. Let's play the head-to-head.

0:27:11 > 0:27:15APPLAUSE

0:27:17 > 0:27:19OK, here comes your first question.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22And it concerns..

0:27:22 > 0:27:23cooking ingredients.

0:27:23 > 0:27:26Cooking ingredients, Richard?

0:27:26 > 0:27:30Yes, we're going to show you five pictures of culinary ingredients

0:27:30 > 0:27:32used to flavour cooking.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34Can you recognise them, and pick the most obscure?

0:27:34 > 0:27:37Thank you very much indeed.

0:27:37 > 0:27:41Let's reveal our five culinary ingredients.

0:27:41 > 0:27:42And they are:

0:27:55 > 0:27:59OK, there are our five ingredients.

0:27:59 > 0:28:03All you have to do is try and identify the one you think

0:28:03 > 0:28:07the fewest of our 100 people will have known.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09Lee and Ashley, you've played best

0:28:09 > 0:28:12throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.

0:28:12 > 0:28:14James and Emma, you can confer now as well.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21- LEE WHISPERS - Shall we go for it?

0:28:21 > 0:28:23- I don't know.- Sure? Yeah?- OK.

0:28:23 > 0:28:27OK, we're going to go for C, which we think is cinnamon.

0:28:27 > 0:28:30C - cinnamon, say Lee and Ashley. C is cinnamon.

0:28:30 > 0:28:33James and Emma, talk us through the board.

0:28:33 > 0:28:35We know A and B.

0:28:35 > 0:28:37You can say which you think they are.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39We think B is garlic, A was...

0:28:39 > 0:28:41I said hazelnuts, but I'm not sure.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44I think what we're going to go with is we're going to go with E,

0:28:44 > 0:28:46which I believe is saffron.

0:28:46 > 0:28:49Saffron - E, you are saying.

0:28:49 > 0:28:52So, we have Lee and Ashley, saying C is cinnamon.

0:28:52 > 0:28:55Let's see if that's right, and if it is,

0:28:55 > 0:28:59let's see how many of our 100 people identified C as cinnamon.

0:29:02 > 0:29:03It's right.

0:29:06 > 0:29:07Oh, 61. 61!

0:29:07 > 0:29:11APPLAUSE

0:29:11 > 0:29:17And James and Emma are saying that E is saffron.

0:29:17 > 0:29:19Let's see if that's right, and if it is,

0:29:19 > 0:29:21let's see how many of our 100 people said E - saffron.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27It's right. 61 is what you have to beat.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29And you've done it! Just! At 59!

0:29:29 > 0:29:36APPLAUSE

0:29:36 > 0:29:39Wow! Which means after one question, James and Emma, you are up, 1-0.

0:29:39 > 0:29:42It's going to be a cracking head-to-head, this!

0:29:42 > 0:29:44They used to burn cinnamon on funeral pyres in Ancient Rome.

0:29:44 > 0:29:48Nero, when his second wife died, burned a year's supply of cinnamon.

0:29:48 > 0:29:50- I imagine, very expensive?- Yeah.

0:29:50 > 0:29:51Let's look at the answers.

0:29:51 > 0:29:54There are a couple of answers that would have won the point.

0:29:54 > 0:29:56A is not hazelnuts.

0:29:56 > 0:29:59It's coriander seeds. AUDIENCE GASPS

0:29:59 > 0:30:01How about that! It would have scored you 5 points.

0:30:01 > 0:30:05That was a good gasp, by the way. LAUGHTER

0:30:05 > 0:30:09No-one's ever gasped that much when someone said "coriander seeds". LAUGHTER

0:30:09 > 0:30:11B is garlic,

0:30:11 > 0:30:13but you did well to avoid it,

0:30:13 > 0:30:14because it would have scored you

0:30:14 > 0:30:1591 points.

0:30:15 > 0:30:18Cinnamon there, 61. D...do you know D? It's a tricky one.

0:30:18 > 0:30:20It would only have scored you 4 points.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22- It's the best answer on the board. - No, I...

0:30:22 > 0:30:25That's tamarind. AUDIENCE GASPS

0:30:25 > 0:30:27- This is brilliant gasping! - Great, isn't it?

0:30:27 > 0:30:29- It's unbelievable!- It's good!

0:30:29 > 0:30:32We should do pictures of cooking ingredients more often.

0:30:32 > 0:30:34- Clearly!- And we've seen there, saffron on 59.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36Very well done if you got all five of those.

0:30:36 > 0:30:39Well done if you gasped when I said coriander seeds as well.

0:30:39 > 0:30:41That saffron looks like something Mick Hucknall's barber's

0:30:41 > 0:30:43just swept up off the floor, doesn't it?

0:30:43 > 0:30:45LAUGHTER

0:30:45 > 0:30:49OK, now here comes your second question,

0:30:49 > 0:30:51and it concerns the Six Nations.

0:30:53 > 0:30:55The Six Nations. Richard?

0:30:55 > 0:30:58We're about to show you five clues to facts about

0:30:58 > 0:31:01the Six Nations rugby tournament, all correct up to the end of 2011.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03Can you pick the most obscure? Best of luck.

0:31:04 > 0:31:06Thank you very much, Richard.

0:31:06 > 0:31:09OK, let's reveal our five facts about the Six Nations.

0:31:09 > 0:31:13And we have got - the year the tournament became the Six Nations.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16The stadium nicknamed Billy Williams' Cabbage Patch.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19The title awarded to a team that wins all its games.

0:31:19 > 0:31:23The first nation to win all five games in a single tournament.

0:31:23 > 0:31:28The last nation to join, making it the Six Nations.

0:31:28 > 0:31:29OK, I'll read those all one more time.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47So there we are. Six facts about the Six Nations.

0:31:47 > 0:31:50James and Emma, you go first. You're trying to find the fact

0:31:50 > 0:31:52you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:31:54 > 0:31:57THEY WHISPER

0:32:00 > 0:32:02OK, we're going to go with the title awarded to a team

0:32:02 > 0:32:05that wins all its games, and that's a Grand Slam.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08Grand Slam, say James and Emma.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11Now then, Lee and Ashley.

0:32:11 > 0:32:14Yeah, we're going to go for the last nation to join, and go for Italy.

0:32:14 > 0:32:18The last nation to join. Italy, say Lee and Ashley.

0:32:18 > 0:32:22So James and Emma are going with the Grand Slam,

0:32:22 > 0:32:25the title awarded to a team that wins all its games.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

0:32:31 > 0:32:32It's right.

0:32:35 > 0:32:39- 46. - APPLAUSE

0:32:41 > 0:32:4446 people said the Grand Slam. Now then, Lee and Ashley,

0:32:44 > 0:32:49you have to win this question to stay in the game.

0:32:49 > 0:32:53You have said Italy was the sixth nation to join.

0:32:56 > 0:32:58Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said Italy.

0:33:02 > 0:33:04It's right. Now 46 is what you have to beat.

0:33:06 > 0:33:07Oh!

0:33:07 > 0:33:0949!

0:33:09 > 0:33:14APPLAUSE

0:33:14 > 0:33:16Once again, a very, very, very close outcome.

0:33:16 > 0:33:18But James and Emma do it once again.

0:33:18 > 0:33:20Which means, after only two questions,

0:33:20 > 0:33:22they are through to the final, 2-0.

0:33:22 > 0:33:26- Richard?- Yeah, beaten by 5 points in all, across the two questions.

0:33:26 > 0:33:29That is very, very tough luck. But very well played, James and Emma.

0:33:29 > 0:33:30Let's fill in the rest.

0:33:30 > 0:33:33All of these would have won you the point, as you might imagine.

0:33:33 > 0:33:36The year the tournament became the Six Nations was 2000,

0:33:36 > 0:33:39and that would have scored you 2 points.

0:33:39 > 0:33:41The stadium nicknamed Billy Williams' Cabbage Patch.

0:33:41 > 0:33:44William Williams was the man charged with finding

0:33:44 > 0:33:47the home of English rugby. He found Twickenham.

0:33:47 > 0:33:48That would have scored you 8 points.

0:33:48 > 0:33:52And the first nation to win all five games in a single tournament

0:33:52 > 0:33:55was in the year 2002, and it was France.

0:33:55 > 0:33:57They won the Grand Slam. 7 points.

0:33:57 > 0:33:59Very well done if you got the Grand Slam and won all five of those.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,

0:34:02 > 0:34:04I'm afraid it's Lee and Ashley.

0:34:04 > 0:34:07- AUDIENCE: Aw!- Did you know any of the low-scoring answers there?

0:34:07 > 0:34:08I would have guessed France,

0:34:08 > 0:34:10but it would have been a massive gamble,

0:34:10 > 0:34:13and I thought it would be close with the two that we had.

0:34:13 > 0:34:16- It was not our luck, really. - Yeah, that was tough.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18They were quite tough there.

0:34:18 > 0:34:21I thought you were going to go all the way.

0:34:21 > 0:34:23And then James and Emma, they just...well only,

0:34:23 > 0:34:27as Richard said, by 5 points across two questions were you defeated.

0:34:27 > 0:34:29But defeated you were. So we have to say goodbye.

0:34:29 > 0:34:31But thank you both so much for playing.

0:34:31 > 0:34:33APPLAUSE

0:34:35 > 0:34:38But for James and Emma, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:34:45 > 0:34:48Congratulations, James and Emma. You've fought off the competition,

0:34:48 > 0:34:50and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:34:56 > 0:35:00You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,

0:35:00 > 0:35:04and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £7,250.

0:35:04 > 0:35:07APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:35:07 > 0:35:11Well, it's been a favourable outcome

0:35:11 > 0:35:12for you, James and Emma.

0:35:12 > 0:35:16Because you weren't by any means the lowest scorers.

0:35:16 > 0:35:21But you have, nonetheless, seen off three returning pairs,

0:35:21 > 0:35:24and then rather brilliantly in that head-to-head, a 2-0 victory.

0:35:24 > 0:35:25Very well done indeed.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28The rules are simple. To win that money,

0:35:28 > 0:35:31you have to find a pointless answer. We haven't had any today.

0:35:31 > 0:35:33You have to find one and you will go home with £7,250.

0:35:33 > 0:35:36First, though, you've got to choose a category,

0:35:36 > 0:35:38and you can choose from these five options.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40They are - Celebrities, Playwrights,

0:35:40 > 0:35:42Eurovision Winners,

0:35:42 > 0:35:44England Footballers,

0:35:44 > 0:35:45Political History.

0:35:47 > 0:35:49- What?- Oh dear.

0:35:49 > 0:35:53I'd say Celebrities. Playwrights - no. Eurovision - no.

0:35:53 > 0:35:56- England Footballers. - Do you know enough?

0:35:56 > 0:35:59- Not enough to get a pointless answers.- And Political History?

0:35:59 > 0:36:01Not enough to get a pointless answer.

0:36:01 > 0:36:04- It's going to have to be Celebrities.- Celebrities.

0:36:04 > 0:36:06OK. Celebrities it is. Best of luck.

0:36:06 > 0:36:08Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.

0:36:08 > 0:36:10We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:36:10 > 0:36:14to name as many celebrities who have been named

0:36:14 > 0:36:19FHM's Sexiest Woman in the World as they could.

0:36:19 > 0:36:20Richard?

0:36:20 > 0:36:23Yes, we're looking for any woman who has come top of the UK version

0:36:23 > 0:36:26of FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the World

0:36:26 > 0:36:28in any year from 1995, when it began,

0:36:28 > 0:36:32through to 2011, please. Anyone who's topped that poll.

0:36:32 > 0:36:35Thank you very much.

0:36:35 > 0:36:38OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers,

0:36:38 > 0:36:41and all you need to win that £7,250

0:36:41 > 0:36:43is for just one of them to be pointless.

0:36:43 > 0:36:44- Are you ready?- BOTH: Yes!

0:36:44 > 0:36:47Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.

0:36:47 > 0:36:48Your time starts now.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50- Do you know any?- Yeah, I know a few.

0:36:50 > 0:36:53- Lets see, you've got...I'm thinking Denise Richards, maybe.- Yep.

0:36:53 > 0:36:57- Megan Fox, definitely won it a few years ago.- Was that the UK, though?

0:36:57 > 0:37:00Yeah. Not FROM the UK, but in the world.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03Charlize Theron, possibly.

0:37:03 > 0:37:07- I'm thinking Kim Wilde, I don't know why.- Bit old! Bit old!- I don't know!

0:37:07 > 0:37:11Who else? Denise Richards I think has won it.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13Recent people?

0:37:13 > 0:37:15- Has Kelly Brook won it? - Probably, yes.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18- So should we go with those three? - Keep going.

0:37:18 > 0:37:20Think of some more people.

0:37:20 > 0:37:23- 1995...- You'd be looking at people like...

0:37:25 > 0:37:29- ..erm...- Who have you got? Charlize Theron.

0:37:29 > 0:37:32- But are they going to be pointless? - I don't know.

0:37:32 > 0:37:36Denise Richards could be. Charlize Theron.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38Kelly Brook. Would that be obvious? What was your other one?

0:37:38 > 0:37:40Ten seconds!

0:37:40 > 0:37:42- Megan Fox was my other option. - And what would be more..?

0:37:42 > 0:37:44- Either's going to be...- Kelly Brook?

0:37:44 > 0:37:46Yeah, we'll go with Kelly Brook.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50OK, your time is up.

0:37:50 > 0:37:52We were looking for celebrities who have been named

0:37:52 > 0:37:55FHM's Sexiest Woman in the World.

0:37:55 > 0:37:57I now need your three answers.

0:37:57 > 0:38:00- We'll go with Denise Richards. - Denise Richards.

0:38:00 > 0:38:02- Kelly Brook.- Kelly Brook. - And Charlize Theron.

0:38:02 > 0:38:04And Charlize Theron.

0:38:04 > 0:38:06Of those, which one do you want to put last?

0:38:06 > 0:38:09- Your most likely shot at a pointless answer?- Probably Denise Richards.

0:38:09 > 0:38:13Denise Richards. We'll put her last. Your least likely?

0:38:13 > 0:38:15- Kelly Brook. - Kelly Brook. We'll put her first.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18OK, let's put them up on the board in that order.

0:38:18 > 0:38:23We have got Kelly Brook, Charlize Theron, and Denise Richards.

0:38:23 > 0:38:26So we were looking for celebrities who have been named

0:38:26 > 0:38:28FHM's Sexiest Woman in the World.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31Kelly Brook was your first answer.

0:38:31 > 0:38:33Your least confident shot at a pointless answer.

0:38:33 > 0:38:36Now remember, you only have to find one pointless answer

0:38:36 > 0:38:39to win that £7,250 jackpot.

0:38:39 > 0:38:43Let's see how many people said Kelly Brook.

0:38:46 > 0:38:47It's right.

0:38:48 > 0:38:52OK, this was your least likely shot at a pointless answer, Kelly Brook.

0:38:52 > 0:38:54Now going down into the 30s...into the 20s.

0:38:54 > 0:38:57If she goes down to zero, you leave here with £7,250.

0:38:57 > 0:38:584!

0:38:58 > 0:39:01- APPLAUSE AND CHEERING - Wow!

0:39:04 > 0:39:08Wow! Well, unfortunately not a pointless answer.

0:39:08 > 0:39:12But that's quite reassuring, isn't it? Kelly Brook, only four people?

0:39:12 > 0:39:14I thought that would be a lot higher than that!

0:39:14 > 0:39:16Yeah, that was your first answer.

0:39:16 > 0:39:20Now you only have two more chances to win today's jackpot of £7,250.

0:39:20 > 0:39:24Now looking like quite a possibility there.

0:39:24 > 0:39:26What would you do with £7,250, Emma?

0:39:26 > 0:39:28Erm, I'd probably use it towards a deposit for a house.

0:39:28 > 0:39:30So we can go and live together.

0:39:30 > 0:39:32- OK.- AUDIENCE: Aw!

0:39:32 > 0:39:35Yeah, James, you've got to say the same thing now.

0:39:35 > 0:39:37LAUGHTER

0:39:37 > 0:39:38Yep! It's a good amount.

0:39:38 > 0:39:43OK, we are looking for celebrities who have been named

0:39:43 > 0:39:45FHM's Sexiest Woman in the World.

0:39:45 > 0:39:50Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Charlize Theron.

0:39:50 > 0:39:52It has to be right and it has to be pointless.

0:39:52 > 0:39:55And if it's both of those things, you leave here with £7,250.

0:39:55 > 0:39:57How many people said Charlize Theron? Is it right?

0:40:01 > 0:40:02Ooh!

0:40:05 > 0:40:09Very surprising! An incorrect answer.

0:40:09 > 0:40:12You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.

0:40:12 > 0:40:16Everything is now resting on Denise Richards.

0:40:16 > 0:40:18- Now are you sure that's a correct answer?- I think so.

0:40:18 > 0:40:22I think she's been in the top ten at least. I'm not 100%.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24- You tell me that now! - There's a good chance.

0:40:24 > 0:40:25Emma, he's quite good

0:40:25 > 0:40:29on his FHM Sexiest Women in the World charts, isn't he?

0:40:29 > 0:40:32- Yeah! I should be concerned. - Oh, well!

0:40:32 > 0:40:34We are looking for celebrities who've been named

0:40:34 > 0:40:37FHM's Sexiest Woman in the World.

0:40:37 > 0:40:39Your third and final answer was Denise Richards.

0:40:39 > 0:40:42This was your most confident shot at a pointless answer.

0:40:42 > 0:40:45It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £7,250.

0:40:45 > 0:40:48This is your last chance. Denise Richards. Is it right?

0:40:48 > 0:40:49How many people said it?

0:40:54 > 0:40:55Oh, no!

0:40:55 > 0:40:57Oh, bad luck!

0:40:57 > 0:41:00APPLAUSE

0:41:04 > 0:41:08Bad luck! Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find

0:41:08 > 0:41:10that crucial pointless answer,

0:41:10 > 0:41:12so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £7,250,

0:41:12 > 0:41:14which rolls over onto the next show.

0:41:14 > 0:41:16But you have been absolutely brilliant contestants,

0:41:16 > 0:41:19and you do get to take home our Pointless trophy, so very well done.

0:41:19 > 0:41:21APPLAUSE

0:41:27 > 0:41:30Yeah, and the good news, Emma, is it turns out

0:41:30 > 0:41:33James is not that good on the list of the world's sexiest women.

0:41:33 > 0:41:35Kelly Brook was my answer, so that's quite bad!

0:41:35 > 0:41:37Denise Richards - 5th, she came in 2001.

0:41:37 > 0:41:39That's the highest she's ever come.

0:41:39 > 0:41:41And Charlize Theron, 26th in 2006.

0:41:41 > 0:41:44But she's won an Oscar, so she's probably not that fussed.

0:41:44 > 0:41:46Let's take a look at the six pointless answers.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48Six women who would have won you the money.

0:41:48 > 0:41:51First one of which is Anna Kournikova, the tennis player.

0:41:51 > 0:41:53Gillian Anderson won it in the '90s.

0:41:53 > 0:41:54As far as I can work out,

0:41:54 > 0:41:56she's the only name on the list

0:41:56 > 0:41:59who's won the Sexiest Woman in the World AND presented

0:41:59 > 0:42:02the PBS Masterpiece Classics series on the novels of Jane Austen.

0:42:02 > 0:42:04I think she's the only one.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06Jenny McCarthy, the model and actress.

0:42:06 > 0:42:08She was a pointless answer.

0:42:08 > 0:42:10Jessica Alba from Fantastic Four and many other films.

0:42:10 > 0:42:13Sarah Michelle Gellar won at the height of her Buffy fame.

0:42:13 > 0:42:15And Teri Hatcher as well.

0:42:15 > 0:42:18Very well done if you said any of those at home.

0:42:18 > 0:42:20- How many of those did you know? - All of them.

0:42:20 > 0:42:22I'm looking at them thinking, "Yep, should have known."

0:42:22 > 0:42:25- Should have said one of those. - That's tough.

0:42:25 > 0:42:28Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you,

0:42:28 > 0:42:31but it's been great having you on. Thank you for playing.

0:42:31 > 0:42:35APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:42:35 > 0:42:39So sadly, James and Emma didn't win today's jackpot, so it rolls over.

0:42:39 > 0:42:43Which means on the next show, we will be playing for £8,250.

0:42:43 > 0:42:45APPLAUSE

0:42:45 > 0:42:47Join us then to see if someone can win it.

0:42:47 > 0:42:48- It's goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.

0:42:48 > 0:42:50And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.

0:42:50 > 0:42:54APPLAUSE
