0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35APPLAUSE
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Now, welcome, Jeff and Andy.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40You are our first pair on the show today.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- How do you two know each other, Jeff?- We play golf together.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Now, Jeff, what do you do when you're not playing golf?
0:00:46 > 0:00:49I work for a company that fit loading bay equipment
0:00:49 > 0:00:51throughout the country.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Ah, right, so a good bit of travel.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56What else do you get up to, apart from when you're not doing golf?
0:00:56 > 0:00:59I quite like sport, particularly horse racing.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01- Andy, what do you do? - I'm a self-employed sales agent.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04I sell packaging and sticky tapes.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Sticky back plastic, that's fantastic!
0:01:06 > 0:01:07And... And that rhymes!
0:01:07 > 0:01:09LAUGHTER
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Wow.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12And a bit of travel involved in that as well?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14A good deal of travel, yes.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Andy, anything you'd particularly like to see come up?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- '60s pop music would be good. - Very good.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Anything you'd hate to see come up, Jeff?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Science, maybe.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23OK, science. Andy?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- The periodic table.- OK, good.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27So is science your black spot? OK.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Very best of luck, Jeff and Andy, it's great to have you here.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Next, welcome back Helen and Dave. you were on the show last time.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Everyone has two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36This is your last chance.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Helen, remind us how you know each other?
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- We're housemates at university. - At Aberystwyth?- Yes.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Dave, tell us what happened last time?
0:01:44 > 0:01:48I think it was more nerves got the best of us.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51And, yeah, it was just a mispronunciation in the first round.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Yeah. Nerves got the best of you.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- And a couple of wrong answers just crept up.- Yeah.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Pounced out at you there.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Dave, you were wearing glasses last time.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Have you had laser eye surgery since we last met?
0:02:04 > 0:02:05LAUGHTER
0:02:05 > 0:02:09I think I've just been brave, really. And I thought, I can read!
0:02:09 > 0:02:12It's a new day today, Helen,
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- what's going to be great for you today?- Geography,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17or history, travelling, anything like that.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19All good. Music, are you good on music?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21My music taste is quite shocking.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Dave, what would you like to see today?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Music as well. We've got fairly different taste in music.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28What are your tastes, Dave?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31I'm quite into indie and rock.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Very good. Helen, what's your tastes?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- Unfortunately, I'm probably one of Westlife's biggest fans.- OK.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- I'll happily admit it on TV.- OK.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Great to have you back on the show. Let's hope we see more of you.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Next, welcome back Jude and Simon,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46you were also on the show last time.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Simon, tell us how you two know each other?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51We're married and have been for 18 months.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Jude, what happened last time?
0:02:53 > 0:02:54We got both answers wrong.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Oh, yeah, the 200 Club!
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Yeah, thanks!
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Now then, today, Jude,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02what's going to be great, what's a great category?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05What have you seen on Pointless before, and you've thought,
0:03:05 > 0:03:06"Oh, if this came up..."
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Celebrities. I knew the front cover of Vogue, that one.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Has that been on the show?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Yeah.- People on the front cover of British Vogue.- I got that.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17So, celebrities.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Simon, what would you like to see come up today?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Certain British bands from the '60s and '70s.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Small Faces, my favourite.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27The Beatles, and Queen, I like those groups.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31And not many people here, I think, know about Oxford United,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33so I'd quite like a round on that, please.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34A round on Oxford United.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Haven't yet had one of those, have we?- We haven't.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39That's weird, given that we're called Pointless.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41LAUGHTER
0:03:41 > 0:03:44There we go.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47There we go. Anyway, best of luck, Jude and Simon.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Great to have you back on the show.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52And, finally, we say welcome back to Nicky and Richard.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53You were also on the show last time.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Remind us how you know each other?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58We met at university and have been friends ever since.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00So then, Nicky, we discovered last time
0:04:00 > 0:04:02you are the world's expert on Eurovision.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04It is my love,
0:04:04 > 0:04:07and takes up most of my year, the Eurovision Song Contest.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Remind us what you do when not following Eurovision?
0:04:09 > 0:04:13I'm an accountant for occupational pension schemes.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- What would you like? - Obviously Eurovision.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16Pop music, sport.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Maybe members of One Direction wouldn't be bad.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Favourite member of One Direction?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Louis, definitely. - Louis? Interesting.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24I'd go for Zayn.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Yes. He'd probably be third or fourth.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- Out of five!- Yeah.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31NICKY LAUGHS
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Richard, so what's going to be good for you?
0:04:33 > 0:04:34- Pop music.- OK.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36What's your favourite era of pop music?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- For pop music, I'd say the 1980s. - Good.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Followed by the noughties.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Nicky, what would you nominate as something you'd hate to see today?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Technology, DIY, that sort of thing.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48DIY? Actually, I suppose, yes.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Very good. It's great to have you both back on the show.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57There's one person left to introduce.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59We'd better get a move on.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01The battery's running out in his laptop,
0:05:01 > 0:05:02and he has forgotten his lead.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard!- Oh, yeah.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Hi, everybody, hello.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12This should be fun, shouldn't it?
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- I think so.- If Dave has taken off his glasses, should I take mine off?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18If he can handle it, I can maybe handle a show without my glasses on?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Give it a go?
0:05:20 > 0:05:21- Give it a whirl.- OK.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22There we go.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- So we've only got one new pair today, that's um... - LAUGHTER
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- James and Adam are our new pair. - ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:05:29 > 0:05:33And of the returning pairs, I'm going to say I think
0:05:33 > 0:05:36June and Samantha are going to win. LAUGHTER
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Actually, I might stick these back on.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Three returning pairs today.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Three returning pairs, which is quite a treat.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Now, Round Three, we do our Picture Round always.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49And my favourite bit of the show is when we have pictures of animals.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52If it's a picture of a cute animal, I'm very happy.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Just sees me through the last half of the show.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55But Round Three today, our picture round,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58is something I love more than cute animals.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- I'm looking forward to that. - Good, me too.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I'm going to keep my glasses on for that.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04OK, our questions on Pointless
0:06:04 > 0:06:06have all been asked to 100 people before the show.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09But we are looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11To stay in the game with a chance of our jackpot,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14all our players need to do is score as few points as they can.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16What everyone's looking for is a pointless answer,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19an answer none of our 100 people gave.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Each time that happens, we will add 250 quid 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 > 0:06:29So today's jackpot starts off at £6,000.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45In this first round, each one of you must give me one answer,
0:06:45 > 0:06:46and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49The pair with the highest score at the end of the round
0:06:49 > 0:06:51will be eliminated.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53An incorrect answer scores a maximum 100 points,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56so try and avoid those if you can.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Our first category today is:
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first, and who's second?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12OK, our question concerns:
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Richard? - On each pass, we're going to give you
0:07:17 > 0:07:20seven descriptions of famous people who share the first name John.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Give us a nice obscure answer, you'll score fewer points.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Give an incorrect answer, though, you will score 100 points.
0:07:26 > 0:07:2814 descriptions in all,
0:07:28 > 0:07:3014 for you to have a go at at home while they play in the studio.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Best of luck.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Thanks very much, Richard.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Now then, Jeff and Andy, you all drew lots before the show,
0:07:36 > 0:07:38and today, you go first.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40We are looking for famous Johns.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42And on our board,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44our first board, we have got:
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I'll read those all one final time.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Jeff? What does that board of Johns look like to you?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31I'm going to go for the Blue Peter presenter, John Noakes.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34John Noakes, says Jeff. Let's see if that's right.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38If it is, let's see how many people knew that answer. John Noakes?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Absolutely right.
0:08:41 > 0:08:4350.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45APPLAUSE
0:08:45 > 0:08:5050, for John Noakes.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55He stopped doing Blue Peter in 1978. 50 of our 100 people still remember.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58And, I would hazard a guess, adore him.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01He's one of the few celebrities where you could even name his dog.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Absolutely right.- Shep.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06He and his wife wanted to sail around the world,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09got caught in a hurricane in 1982, so gave up.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10In 1984, they did it again.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12It got as far as Majorca.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13- Lived there ever since.- Ever since.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Liked it so much, left his boat there and stayed there
0:09:16 > 0:09:18and lived there. That's quite nice.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20That's nice. Now, then, Dave.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22If you want me to read any of those again, I will gladly do so.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26I'm OK, thank you very much.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28I only really know two. I should know the Jaws soundtrack,
0:09:28 > 0:09:32because I've currently got some socks on with Jaws on them.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Sorry. I just took a moment there,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37just to look at the board to see if I could work out
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- another gag about opticians or something.- No, that's been done.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43I turned back. Are you a massive Jaws fan?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46My brother is. I bought these for him for Christmas a few years ago,
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- and he never wore them.- Weird.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Ah, of course.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Does he, by any chance, have no trouble with his eyesight?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55LAUGHTER
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Yes, I think so.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59So then, Dave.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03I'm going to have to go for the ex-footballer World In Motion rapper
0:10:03 > 0:10:05that's John Barnes.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07John Barnes, says Dave.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Let's see if that's right, and how many people knew John Barnes?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Absolutely right.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- 31. - APPLAUSE
0:10:20 > 0:10:2431 for John Barnes.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Absolutely, World In Motion was New Order's only number one single.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29John Barnes famously played for Liverpool.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Kenny Dalglish, they say, polled his players at the end of one season
0:10:33 > 0:10:36asking which opposition players caused most trouble that year.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38The answers came back, he polled them up.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40It was John Barnes, Peter Beardsley and Ray Houghton.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43He said, "I'm buying all three of them." He did.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- That's how to run a football team. - That's good.- Yeah.- Very good indeed.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Now then, Jude.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49- I was going to go for that one. - Oh no.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52So I'm going to go for the only one I know,
0:10:52 > 0:10:53and I'm going to play it safe.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Writer and star of Fawlty Towers is John Cleese.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Writer and star of Fawlty Towers is John Cleese, says Jude.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Is it right? How many people knew John Cleese to be that John?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- 0oh! Safe.- Safe.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11APPLAUSE
0:11:11 > 0:11:13But expensive.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14It's what you might call a "dear" John!
0:11:14 > 0:11:16JUDE LAUGHS
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Yes, another big score.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21If you were a famous TV star in the '70s or '80s,
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- people remember you, don't they? - Absolutely.- Him and John Noakes.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Now, then, Nicky. You are in fact the last person to have this board,
0:11:28 > 0:11:30so you can guess any of those answers.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Yeah, I'm in the position where there's one I know, definitely,
0:11:33 > 0:11:35which is "back to basics" Conservative PM.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38But then, composer of the Jaws soundtrack might be John Barry.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42And oil magnet might be John Rockefeller.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44But I'm not certain of either of them.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46And I think the great British public
0:11:46 > 0:11:48won't know as much about prime ministers
0:11:48 > 0:11:50as they do about '70s television.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53So I'm going to go for back to basics Conservative PM, John Major.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- That is faultless reasoning. - LAUGHTER
0:11:56 > 0:11:58To my mind.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00But we'll have to wait and see.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03"Back to basics" PM, John Major, says Nicky, is that right?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05How many people said it?
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Absolutely right, Nicky, 29.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14APPLAUSE
0:12:14 > 0:12:1729, the lowest score on the board.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Absolutely brilliant.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Very astute, Nicky, very well played.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I tell you what, Nicky, if you'd said John Barry
0:12:27 > 0:12:30for composer of the Jaws soundtrack, you'd have scored 100 points.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- It is?- John Williams. - Absolutely right.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37John Barry did all sorts of soundtracks, but not Jaws. 12 points.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39If you'd said the oil magnate and first US millionaire
0:12:39 > 0:12:41was John Rockefeller,
0:12:41 > 0:12:43that's a correct answer.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46That would have scored you five points, a terrific answer.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48And the oldest man to go into space, anybody?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- John Glenn? - John Glenn, absolutely right.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Six points.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Good work, Andy.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59- Do you know how old he was when he went into space?- Do you know?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- 46?- 77.- Wow.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- That's quite cool.- Yeah. Very good.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05He got lost, unfortunately. LAUGHTER
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Fair enough. Thanks, Richard. Halfway through the round,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Nicky, best answer of the pass. 29, absolutely superb.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Then we creep up to 31, where we find Dave and Helen.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Then, up to 50, where we find Jeff and Andy.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Then, up to 75, where we find Jude and Simon.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26You're not wildly ahead of the rest of them, Jude and Simon.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27But you are the high scorers.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31So Simon, we will require from you a really nice low-scoring John,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33if we're to see you into the next round.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Best of luck. We come back down the line,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:13:40 > 0:13:44OK. We're going to put seven more Johns on the board, here they come.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45We have got:
0:14:01 > 0:14:03I'll say those one more time.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Now, remember, you are trying to find the John
0:14:22 > 0:14:24that you think the fewest of our 100 people
0:14:24 > 0:14:26could identify from these clues.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Richard, you are on 29,
0:14:27 > 0:14:30thanks to Nicky's brilliant answer in the first pass.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34The high scorers at the moment are Simon and Jude on 75,
0:14:34 > 0:14:38which means 45 or less will see you into the next round.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40My heart wants to go for Weird Science,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42but I'm not 100%.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46So I'm going to go for the original singer for Annie's Song,
0:14:46 > 0:14:50which I believe is John Denver.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53John Denver, says Richard.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Here is your red line. That's your target.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56If you get below that red line,
0:14:56 > 0:14:59you are comfortably into the second round.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Let's see if John Denver's right and how many people said it?
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Absolutely right.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08You are... Ooh! No, you're not, not quite!
0:15:08 > 0:15:09APPLAUSE
0:15:12 > 0:15:15That's scores you 46.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17That takes your total up to 75.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20You are now equal high scorers with Simon and Jude. Richard?
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Yes, John Denver, born John Henry John Deutschendorf.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25He wrote Annie's Song in 10 minutes, on a ski lift.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- Wow.- Yeah.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Now, then, Simon and Jude, you are joint highest scorers
0:15:31 > 0:15:33with Richard and Nicky.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36The difference is, they've already given both their answers.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38So Simon, what we need from you now is
0:15:38 > 0:15:41a very, very, very low-scoring answer,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44if we are to see you beyond this round. How are you on your Johns?
0:15:44 > 0:15:45A couple there I know.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48I was tempted with Weird Science but, as I'm from quite near Slough,
0:15:48 > 0:15:52I'm going for the Poet Laureate who penned Slough.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54John Betjeman.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56OK, you're going to go with John Betjeman.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59John Betjeman. Is that right, and how many people said it?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01No red line, as you're joint high scorers.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05John Betjeman, how many people said that?
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Absolutely right.
0:16:11 > 0:16:1224.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14APPLAUSE
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Takes your total up to 99.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Yeah, not bad.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Giving yourself a chance there. Published in 1937, Slough.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Yeah. That's all I've got.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- OK, thanks very much, Richard! - LAUGHTER.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Now, then, Helen and Dave, the high scorers are Simon and Jude on 99.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36You are on 31. 31! Great answer from Dave in the first pass.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40If you can score 67 or less, you are through to the next round, Helen.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42How are the Johns behind me?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I only know one of them. I've been constantly praying no one said it.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I think I know one of them, I won't say I do because I'll be wrong.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52But I'm going for a member of the Beatles being John Lennon.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53And hope for the best.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Is that a stab in the dark, Helen?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- Kind of.- OK.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02It's a pretty educated guess but, I don't want to sound too confident,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- and then all of a sudden be completely wrong.- OK.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07A member of the Beatles called John could be John Lennon.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09OK, that's what you're saying.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11There's your red line, Helen,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14you have to get below that red line to get through to the next round.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Did you do it with John Lennon? Is it right?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18How many people said it?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Ooh, it's right. Ooh!
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- Ah, yes.- Oh, I got it right.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24You most certainly got it right.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26APPLAUSE
0:17:26 > 0:17:29That scores you 93, though.
0:17:29 > 0:17:3193! That's a punishing score.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34That takes your total up to 124.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37I wonder if that will keep you in the game? Richard?
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Yes, a very, very big score.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42But again, he was around in the '70s, used to be on telly.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43Yeah, there you are.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47- Also did a bit of music, dabbled in music.- Dabbled in music.
0:17:47 > 0:17:53Andy. You are on 50, the high scorers on 124 are Helen and Dave.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55If you can score 73 or less with your John...
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Sounds strange!
0:17:57 > 0:17:59LAUGHTER
0:17:59 > 0:18:02You are through to the next round.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Talk us through the board, Andy, fill in the gaps?
0:18:04 > 0:18:07The painter of The Hay Wain is John Constable.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09The writer and director of Weird Science
0:18:09 > 0:18:11I would maybe have said John Cusack.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Four minutes 33, if I remember, is of complete silence.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18I don't know what genius composed that.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22But I'm going to go for Republican 2008 presidential candidate,
0:18:22 > 0:18:26and I think, and hope, that's John McCain.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28John McCain, says Andy.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30John McCain. Let's see if that's right.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32There is no red line. You've got to get below that.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35John McCain. Is it right, how many people said it?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Absolutely right, very well done, Andy,
0:18:37 > 0:18:40you are through to the next round.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Ooh, 11!
0:18:44 > 0:18:45APPLAUSE
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Very good, 11 takes your total to 61.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Well played, Andy, terrific answer. Lost to Barack Obama
0:18:54 > 0:18:55in that election.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Richard and Simon, you were going to have a go at Weird Science.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59It's not John Cusack.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02If I count down from three, and you both give your answer?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- Shall we do that? - All right.- All right.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05OK, one, two, three...
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- John Landis.- Carpenter.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09John Carpenter, John Landis.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Both wrong.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11LAUGHTER
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Actually, it's a pointless answer as well. Do you want to have a go?
0:19:15 > 0:19:16- No idea.- Weird Science.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18More famous for other films, John Hughes.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20John Hughes, talking of the '80s.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Let's take a look at the painter of The Hay Wain.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24You're absolutely right, it was John Constable.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26That would have scored 53 points.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29And the composer who wrote four minutes 33 seconds which, as you say,
0:19:29 > 0:19:31is four minutes 33 seconds of silence.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- John Cage.- Absolutely right.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36That would have scored six points. Well done if you said that at home.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Thanks, Richard. At the end of the first round,
0:19:38 > 0:19:43the losing pair with the highest score, Helen and Dave, it's you.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Again.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- It's my fault again.- Oh, Helen.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- I got it right this time, unlike before.- Absolutely right.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Did you know any other of the Johns there?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Yeah, John McCain, when that came up.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57It was in the back of my mind and I could not think of it.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Oh, dear, I'm sorry, I really thought we'd see much more of you today.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Round one last time, round one this time.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- At least we're consistent. - Certainly consistent.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09But we haven't given you enough to get your teeth into, I'm afraid.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11So I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you. Thanks so much for playing.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Helen and Dave, great, great contestants.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:20:16 > 0:20:19But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Now, there's only going to be room for two pairs in our head-to-head,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32so one of the teams will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Our category for Round Two is:
0:20:37 > 0:20:38Can you all decide in your pairs
0:20:38 > 0:20:41who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43And whoever's first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:20:51 > 0:20:54to name as many capital cities beginning with A.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57We are looking for any capital city of the world
0:20:57 > 0:20:59whose name begins with A. The capital of a country
0:20:59 > 0:21:01that's a sovereign state in its own right,
0:21:01 > 0:21:04and a member of the UN.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06The usual English name of this city must begin with an A.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09In countries where there are more than one capital,
0:21:09 > 0:21:12we'll accept any of those, as long as their capital begins with an A.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Very best of luck. If you want to play along at home,
0:21:15 > 0:21:18there are 16 world capitals that begin with the letter A.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20See how many of those you can get.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21OK. Jeff.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24I'm going to say Adelaide.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Adelaide, says Jeff.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Straight out there. Adelaide.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Let's see if Adelaide's right,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Adelaide?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Bad luck, Jeff, incorrect answer,
0:21:36 > 0:21:39which means you score 100 points, I'm sorry. Richard?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Sorry, Jeff, Adelaide, not a capital.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42It does start with an A, I'll give you that.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44It even starts with a capital A!
0:21:44 > 0:21:45LAUGHTER
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Not a capital city.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Capital city of Australia, of course, Canberra.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Now then, Jude.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Remember, we are looking for capital cities
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- whose English names begin with an A. - I can think of two.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58But I don't know whether one's right.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02I think I'm going to say Antwerp.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Antwerp, says Jude. Let's see if Antwerp is correct.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09And if so, how many of our 100 people said Antwerp?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Bad luck, Jude.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Another incorrect answer.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Also scoring you 100 points, I'm sorry. Richard.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- It's going very well, isn't it? - Yes, it's good!
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Antwerp in Belgium. And Brussels, the capital of Belgium.- Ah.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Now, then, Richard.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28I've got four, but don't think I can pronounce any of them.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30This is fine.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31In fact, it's quite fun.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33LAUGHTER
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I'd like to say...
0:22:35 > 0:22:37We have to accept your first answer.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38- I know, I know. - But that's OK, that's fine.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41You were about to say something beginning with A
0:22:41 > 0:22:42which was very promising.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44LAUGHTER
0:22:44 > 0:22:49I'd like to say Assoon-san? Which is the capital of Paraguay.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Do you want to say it one more time?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Assoon-san.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59OK, Richard, you are saying Assoon-san, the capital of Paraguay.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Let's have a look.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05Assoon-san. Is it right? How many of our 100 people said it?
0:23:05 > 0:23:06It is right!
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Oh, ho-ho!
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Very, very well done indeed, Richard.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19APPLAUSE
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Best score of the pass, although that's not saying much. Richard?
0:23:23 > 0:23:26You're right to worry about your pronunciation,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29that's absolutely on the edge of what I'd allow, Assoon-san.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31It's Asuncion.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33It's the capital of Paraguay, Asuncion. Very well done.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Assoon-san, Asuncion. Close enough for me.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Very well done. We're halfway through the round,
0:23:38 > 0:23:39Let's look at those scores. Both of them.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Richard and Nicky, 3. Fabulous low score.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Jude and Simon. Jeff and Andy.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46You are both on 100, I need hardly remind you.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48So, Simon and Andy,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50it's going to be a battle between you two
0:23:50 > 0:23:53to decide who stays at the end of this round, and who goes.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Best of luck. We're going to come back down the line.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:24:01 > 0:24:04We are looking for capital cities whose English names begin with an A.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Nicky. You are on 3.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09The high scorers are Simon and Jude, and Andy and Jeff, on 100 each.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12So a score of 96 or less from you
0:24:12 > 0:24:15will see you through to the next round.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Well, I've got a slightly risky one but I'm, you'll be relieved to hear,
0:24:19 > 0:24:20not going to go over that one.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- I was going to say Addis Ababa. - Addis Ababa, says Nicky.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25OK, here's your red line.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Below that red line, you're in the head-to-head.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Addis Ababa, is it right? How many people said it?
0:24:31 > 0:24:32It's right.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40Very well done indeed.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Four, that Addis Ababa taking your total up
0:24:44 > 0:24:46to a lovely single figure total of seven.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48- Richard.- Well played, Nicky.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Also, Eurovision Song Contest expertise, very good for capital cities, isn't it?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Although Addis Ababa, as yet, haven't hosted one.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Whoa, I bet they'd do a great one, though.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58- They would do an amazing one. - Yeah!
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Capital of Ethiopia, of course, Addis Ababa.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- Very good answer. - Thank you very much.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Now, then, Simon. This is where the battle starts.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10- Simon, is this good for you? A good category?- I know a few.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15But I'm going to go for a risky one. I'm not even sure if it is a city.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17You're not even sure it's a city?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20I'm not sure if I've made it up. But, you know...
0:25:20 > 0:25:23I'm going for Accra.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Accra, says Simon.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Let's see if Accra is right
0:25:26 > 0:25:30and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Accra.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33It's right.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Six.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44APPLAUSE
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Six for Accra takes your total up to 106. Richard.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50So, Accra, or if we're going to be the pronunciation police once again,
0:25:50 > 0:25:53it's Accraa, as a lot of people say. Accra's fair enough.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57It's the capital of Ghana, another African country.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Now, then, Andy, you've had all this time.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03What is the most obscure capital city beginning with A
0:26:03 > 0:26:04you can think of?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07On the basis that people think it's Istanbul, I'll go for Ankara.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11- In Turkey.- Ankara, you are going to say, 106 is what you have to beat.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13106. You are on 100.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17If you can score five or less, you are comfortably through
0:26:17 > 0:26:18to the head-to-head.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Here is your red line. It's low.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Ankara, says Andy. Is it right,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26how many people said it?
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Well, it's right.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Will it go down low enough to see you through to the head-to-head?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Ankara. Ooh! Bad luck, Andy!
0:26:34 > 0:26:38APPLAUSE
0:26:38 > 0:26:44That scores you 20, which takes your total up to 120. Richard.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46A really good answer, Andy. Capital of Turkey, not Istanbul.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48But scores just too much, I'm afraid.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53There are two pointless answers out of the 16 capitals beginning with A. Let's take a look.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Very well done if you said Ashgabat which, as you well know,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58is the capital of Turkmenistan.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Or Abuja, which is the capital of Nigeria, took over from Lagos in the '90s.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04There's a lot of low-scoring ones as well.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Andorra la Vella, in Andorra.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Astana, which is Kazakhstan.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Asmara, Eritrea. Apia, Samoa.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Antananarivo, which is Madagascar. You could have had Amman, Jordan.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Asuncion, we've already had. Algiers, Algeria.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20Abu Dhabi, which is the UAE. Then our highest scoring answers, that most people said,
0:27:20 > 0:27:24well, we've just heard the number three, Ankara scored 20 points.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Amsterdam, 25.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29And well at the top, Athens, the capital of Greece.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33And Athens would have scored you 33 points. Well done, anyone who got
0:27:33 > 0:27:36all 16 of those, particularly the two pointless answers.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Thanks very much, Richard. So at the end of round two,
0:27:38 > 0:27:42the losing pair with the highest score, it's Andy and Jeff.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Adelaide, I'm afraid was just a very expensive mistake there, Jeff.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49But, erm, Ankara, good answer. It was too little too late,
0:27:49 > 0:27:51but Andy and Jeff, we will see you again next time,
0:27:52 > 0:27:54and I'm sure we will see greater things then.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57But meanwhile, thank you for playing, Andy and Jeff.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00APPLAUSE
0:28:00 > 0:28:02But for the remaining two pairs,
0:28:02 > 0:28:05things are about to get even more exciting now
0:28:05 > 0:28:07as we enter the head-to-head.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Congratulations, Nicky and Richard.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Jude and Simon, you're now only one round away from the final
0:28:15 > 0:28:17and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:28:17 > 0:28:20which currently stands at £6,000.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Now obviously, only one pair can play for that money,
0:28:25 > 0:28:27so we decide which pair it will be
0:28:27 > 0:28:30by giving you a best of three questions,
0:28:30 > 0:28:33by which I mean the first pair to win two of these questions
0:28:33 > 0:28:35will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38You are now of course allowed to confer.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48OK, here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Richard, this is the round you've been looking forward to, isn't it?
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Something I like more than cute animals.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59There's very little I like more than cute animals.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02This is your biggest passion, isn't it? Darts?
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Well, not my biggest passion, but I do like darts.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07We're going to show you five pictures now of five men
0:29:07 > 0:29:11who've been a Darts World Champion. Can you identify and name the most obscure, please?
0:29:11 > 0:29:14OK, thanks very much, Richard.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16OK, let's reveal our five dartists.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18World champions, every one. Here they are.
0:29:18 > 0:29:19We have...
0:29:34 > 0:29:37It's like the world's worst dating website, isn't it?
0:29:37 > 0:29:39LAUGHTER
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Yeah. OK, there we are. Now, then.
0:29:41 > 0:29:46Nicky and Richard, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- We're going to choose that one? - Yeah.- Can we have B?
0:29:49 > 0:29:51You may certainly have B.
0:29:51 > 0:29:52Keith Deller.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Keith Deller.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Jude and Simon, you can now talk out loud.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Do all your conferring in public.
0:29:59 > 0:30:00I've got no idea.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Take us through the board, Simon.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Er, A, Phil "The Power" Taylor.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08C, Andy Fordham, The Viking.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10E is Eric Bristow.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13And I think D, because of what he's wearing,
0:30:13 > 0:30:16is Dennis The Menace Priestley.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18- Going to go for that? - I'm going to go for D.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21You're going to go D, Dennis The Menace Priestley?
0:30:21 > 0:30:24OK. So we have Keith Deller and we have Dennis Priestley.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Nicky and Richard, you have said Keith Deller.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:30:29 > 0:30:30Keith Deller.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33It's correct.
0:30:37 > 0:30:38Nine!
0:30:38 > 0:30:41APPLAUSE
0:30:41 > 0:30:44A nice single figure score there for Keith Deller.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49You could be justly proud of that. Keith Deller. Nice low score there.
0:30:49 > 0:30:55Jude and Simon, though, are saying that D is Dennis Priestley.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56Dennis Priestley, D. Let's see if that's right.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01If it is, let's see how many people said D was Dennis Priestley.
0:31:01 > 0:31:02It is right.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Now, is it going to go down lower than nine? That's the big question.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Down it goes. Yeah, you've done it. Two!
0:31:09 > 0:31:15APPLAUSE
0:31:15 > 0:31:19Very, very well done, Jude. I know that was largely your input there.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20All!
0:31:20 > 0:31:21Wow.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Two fabulous low scores there,
0:31:23 > 0:31:26but Priestley wins it for you, which means after only one question,
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Jude and Simon are ahead 1-0.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32Well played, both teams there. You've even given all the nicknames, Simon.
0:31:32 > 0:31:33You've done all my work for me.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36I've got a signed picture of Keith Deller next to my dartboard.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38I thought you'd say "next to my bed"!
0:31:38 > 0:31:42No. I've got a signed picture of Jimmy White next to my bed.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43LAUGHTER
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Let's go through the rest of the scores anyway.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48You got all the right names. A is Phil "The Power" Taylor.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50He would have scored 17.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54We've already seen Keith Deller there who scored treble three, nine.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58Andy Fordham, C, scored double three, six.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05There's Dennis Priestley, double one, and Eric Bristow would score you...
0:32:05 > 0:32:07double 18, 36.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10So, Bristow scores most there and the best answer on the board
0:32:10 > 0:32:12was Dennis Priestley, so a very good choice.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- Look at Fordham's forearm! Look at that!- Yeah.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19You need a forearm like a metronome in that game.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21OK, there we go, here comes your second question,
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Nicky and Richard, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Very best of luck, here it comes. It concerns Winston Churchill.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- OK, Richard.- Yes, from five British heroes to one more.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35We're going to give you five clues to facts about Winston Churchill.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Can you answer the most obscure, please?
0:32:37 > 0:32:40OK, here they come. Here are your five facts about Winston Churchill.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54I will read all of those one more time.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08There you are. Five clues to facts about Winston Churchill.
0:33:08 > 0:33:14- Jude and Simon, you go first this time.- We've only got the one.
0:33:14 > 0:33:15A few I'd have a guess at,
0:33:15 > 0:33:17but I'm going to say the country house he was born in,
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Blenheim Palace.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20Blenheim Palace.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23The country house he was born in. Now, then, Nicky and Richard.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27- You can do your discussing out loud. - I don't know any for definite.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29We can have a go at the year.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31- And the conflict.- Yeah, go on.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Conflict in which he was a prisoner of war, World War I.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37OK. World War I. The conflict in which he was a prisoner of war.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Now, then, Jude and Simon. You have said Blenheim Palace
0:33:40 > 0:33:44was the country house in which he was born. Let's see if that's right,
0:33:44 > 0:33:48and if it is, let's see if how many people said Blenheim Palace.
0:33:48 > 0:33:49It's right.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Very well done. Eight.
0:33:57 > 0:33:58APPLAUSE
0:33:59 > 0:34:00That's a great answer.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Jude and Simon, Eight for Blenheim Palace.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Nicky and Richard, I need hardly remind you,
0:34:05 > 0:34:08you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11You said the conflict in which he became a prisoner of war was World War I.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14World War I, is it right, and how many people said it?
0:34:17 > 0:34:20Bad luck. Bad luck. Bad luck. Nicky and Richard.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Blenheim Palace was such a low score,
0:34:23 > 0:34:25I'd be interested to see what would have beaten that on the board.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Who knows. Anyway, for the moment,
0:34:28 > 0:34:29all we need to know is that Jude and Simon,
0:34:29 > 0:34:32after two questions, you are through to the final, 2-0. Richard.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Yeah, that's tough luck, Nicky and Richard, you've been brilliant
0:34:34 > 0:34:38on both shows you've been on and once again, good answers. It's a toughie.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41He was actually held prisoner of war during the Boer War.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44He was a correspondent, and he was captured while over there
0:34:44 > 0:34:46and there a bounty on his head of £25.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49The Boer War, if you had said it, would have scored seven points
0:34:49 > 0:34:52and would have won the point, but, you know, that's a very tough answer.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Let's take a look at the rest. The year he first came UK PM,
0:34:54 > 0:34:56what do you think you'd have settled on if you had?
0:34:56 > 0:34:59- 1940?- Yeah. - Yeah, 1940, direct answer,
0:34:59 > 0:35:02but wouldn't have won you the point, actually. Would have been 15 points.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- Wife's first name. Do you know that? - Was it Clementine?
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Clementine, yeah, would have scored you 12 points.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11And the field in which he won his Nobel prize, not peace,
0:35:11 > 0:35:13but literature, Nobel Prize for literature.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16That would have scored you 11 points. So once they said Blenheim Palace,
0:35:16 > 0:35:19the Boer War was the only thing that could have saved you.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Very well played, both teams, on that head-to-head, that was terrific.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26Absolutely. So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,
0:35:26 > 0:35:27Nicky and Richard.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29But you played incredibly well.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Keith Deller, a wonderfully low scoring answer
0:35:32 > 0:35:35- for that first question. - I love darts as well.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- I could have named you another ten champions.- Oh, no.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Everybody loves darts.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Whenever we have a darts question, people go mad on Twitter.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46They love it. Head-to-head last time, Nicky and Richard.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Head-to-head this time. You've played so well in both shows.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Anyway, Nicky and Richard, excellent contestants.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:54 > 0:35:58But for Jude and Simon, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06Congratulations, Jude and Simon! You've fought off the competition.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10You've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £6,000.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:36:24 > 0:36:28Well, I would say you've had an interesting Pointless career.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31Last time, you were out in the second round.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34This time, nearly out second round. Antwerp, 100 points.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38But, no. You rose above it
0:36:38 > 0:36:40and through you came into the head-to-head.
0:36:40 > 0:36:432-0 victory in the head-to-head. And here you are in the final.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47It's all down to your category. The rules are very simple.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50To win that money, all you have to do is find one pointless answer.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52We haven't had any pointless answers today.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54You only have to find one now
0:36:54 > 0:36:57and you will go home with that £6,000 jackpot.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59The first thing you've got to choose a category.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02- You can choose from these five options.- They are:
0:37:09 > 0:37:12British thespians or '60s singers.
0:37:12 > 0:37:18- Established that earlier.- Do you want to go for singers?- Yeah. OK.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20You're going to go for '60s singers.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22This kind of plays to your strengths, Simon.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24- Hopefully.- Hopefully.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26'60s music. It's what you said. Very best of luck.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Let's find out what that question is.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Cilla Black
0:37:32 > 0:37:35UK top 40 singles as they could. Richard.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37We're looking for a single by Cilla Black
0:37:37 > 0:37:41which reached the UK top 40 prior to the beginning of 2012.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Where she released double-A sided singles,
0:37:43 > 0:37:45we'll accept either of those as an answer.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47In our music rounds, we'll be very strict
0:37:47 > 0:37:49with the titles of the songs. Very best of luck.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53OK. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:53 > 0:37:56and all you need to win that £6,000 jackpot
0:37:56 > 0:37:58is for one answer to be pointless.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04There they are. Your time starts now. OK.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06What's that one she did on the piano?
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- With Dudley Moore.- A Beatles song.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12- Yeah. OK.- What's it called? - If I Fail.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14We'll have that one.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- Surprise, Surprise.- Is that a song?
0:38:17 > 0:38:19- The unexpected.- All right, then.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Isn't there something about flower girl?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Yeah, there's something like that, isn't there?
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Flowers in my hair. Flowers in her hair.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- I don't know.- No catchphrase.
0:38:31 > 0:38:38Um... Was it Sandie Shaw that sang Always Something There To Remind Me?
0:38:38 > 0:38:40- Yeah, it was her. - It was Sandie Shaw?
0:38:40 > 0:38:43We've got 23.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47Did she sing Love On The Rocks? Oh, no. That's Chris De Burgh.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- Um...- Something about a flower. Something with flower in it.

0:40:35 > 0:40:39Let's hope nobody said your next answer Surprise Surprise.

0:41:31 > 0:41:33Especially The Flower Girl.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Unfortunately, you didn't find that pointless answer,
0:41:36 > 0:41:38so I'm afraid you don't win today's £6,000 jackpot,

0:42:01 > 0:42:03Surprise Surprise, they did release
