0:00:15 > 0:00:18CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Thank you very much. I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28and welcome to Pointless - the quiz show where the lowest scorers
0:00:28 > 0:00:31are the biggest winners. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34CHEERING
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Now, welcome, Mave and Dan. You are our first pair on the show today.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42How do you two know each other? Mave?
0:00:42 > 0:00:44- Daniel's my grandson.- Very good.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Now then, Dan, where have you come from?
0:00:46 > 0:00:48We've come from Bournemouth, so South coast.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Bournemouth. What do you do, Dan?
0:00:50 > 0:00:52I'm a language tutor.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I'm private, I go round and teach students,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58like, extra-curricular French and Spanish.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02So languages are going to be fantastic, obviously, for you. And Mave, what do you do?
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Well, I'm retired now,
0:01:04 > 0:01:06but I've done various jobs.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07What have you done?
0:01:07 > 0:01:11The last job I did was being nanny to our doctor's six children.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Wow! Six children? That's almost The Sound Of Music, isn't it?
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Lovely, it was lovely.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19And I've worked in an office, and I've worked in shops.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22I've worked fruit-picking. All sorts.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Mave, what would you like to see come up today? What would be a great topic?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Well, '40s musicals!
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- OK, just the '40s?- '40s musi...
0:01:30 > 0:01:35Oh, '40s, '50s musicals, words, the human body. Geography.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Geography. I mean, you've covered a lot. Fruit.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- The South coast. - LAUGHTER
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- I was only apples and pears! - You'd be surprised.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46I think both of those have come up before.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Perfect background for Pointless.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Anyway, best of luck to you Mave and Dan. It's great to have you here.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54And we welcome back Stuart and Paul. You were on the show last time.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Everyone gets two chances, of course, to reach our final.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00This is your second chance. Remind us how you know each other, Stuart.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03We work together at a caravan dealership in Shrewsbury.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07I do the motorhomes and touring caravans, Paul does the statics.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10And Paul, what happened last time?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12We crashed out in the second round.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Question about airports.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Oh, yes, the codes!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Since then, I've cancelled my holiday to Barbados this year.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- LAUGHTER - Stuart, what are you hoping is going to come up today?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Er, caravans and motorhomes would be nice.- Yeah, they come up a lot.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Movies. Love, love movies.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Favourite kind of film?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Genre, crime, horror...
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Particular favourite film?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Most of the Scorsese stuff, like Goodfellas, Casino,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39that sort of thing.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Paul, what would you like to see come up today?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Also a bit of film, but music as well.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- Preferably not '40s music.- OK.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Anything from then onwards would be good.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- So, '50s? Really?- 50...
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- '70s, '80s, yeah.- OK, good.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53It's great to have you back on.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56And Stuart and Paul, let's hope we see more of you this time.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59And next, we welcome the Daves - Dave D and Dave R.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Now, how do you two know each other?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Since early school, about the age of four-ish, maybe.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06That's fantastic. And Dave, where are you from?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- We're both from Wigan.- From Wigan.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11And what do you do there, Dave R?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Well, I work as a library assistant in nearby Bolton at the moment.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Good on literature? I mean, are you allowed...?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20It's like asking someone in a chocolate factory if they can eat the sweets,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- but can you read the books? - LAUGHTER
0:03:23 > 0:03:24In your own time, yeah, I think. Yeah.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27OK, Dave, what do you do? Dave D.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I'm an accountant.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- Always a conversation killer, that one.- Not at all!
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Maths is going to be good for you.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35See how quickly I picked that up, ran with it?
0:03:35 > 0:03:40When you're not accounting, Dave D, what do you like to get up to?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I like films, music, I do quite a bit of reading
0:03:43 > 0:03:46and kind of do a bit of writing as well, when I can.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- What sort of things do you write? - Bad horror.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Really? Bad horror? That's the best kind of horror.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- I know!- Anyway, welcome to the show, the Daves. Great to have you here.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57And finally, we welcome back Ian and Ann.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59You were on the show last time.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Ian, remind us how you know each other.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- This is my mum.- Wonderful.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05And Ann, you brought us those lovely knitted dolls last time.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Thank you very, very much indeed for those.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Ann, what happened last time? Remind us.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- It was a European football question. - Ah-h!
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Man United! Scored you 80.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Yes, they let me down, Manchester United.- Ah, they'll do that.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22What do you get up to in your spare time, Ian?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24In my spare time... Well, I used to host a quiz.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Do you want to come and do this? - No, it's OK.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29It was just at the local pub.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31I had an assistant, but she wasn't pointless,
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- cos I ended up marrying her.- Aww! - We're still together now.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Wow!- You hear a lot, don't you, about...
0:04:38 > 0:04:40..people marrying their quiz show assistants.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42LAUGHTER
0:04:42 > 0:04:44I just think it's interesting.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46I just think it's interesting.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I guess you form a bond, don't you?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- I guess you do.- And you rely on each other, and there's trust.- Yeah, yeah!
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Of course, what with civil ceremonies and all that, it's not...
0:04:54 > 0:04:58LAUGHTER Could happen more and more often.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Yeah, yeah.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01RICHARD SIGHS
0:05:01 > 0:05:03LAUGHTER
0:05:03 > 0:05:05It's wonderful to have you back here, Ian and Ann.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Best of luck. We'll find out more about all of you as the show goes along.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11There's only one person left to introduce.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13He's soon to be appearing in Pointless The Musical.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20APPLAUSE
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- A lot of interest in Pointless The Musical! - Yeah! I bet there would be.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30You'd be good. I can't really sing. You've got a terrific voice.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Well, you're very kind.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33HE SIGHS
0:05:33 > 0:05:36LAUGHTER
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Should be a cracking show today. We've got two returning pairs.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I quite wanted Ian and Ann to win last time,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43because mother and son teams are always nice.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- Ann knitted us something which was lovely.- Yeah.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48But mother and son...
0:05:48 > 0:05:52I don't care any more, because we've got grandmother and grandson! We've got Mave and Dan.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Wouldn't it be lovely if they won? No offence to anybody else!
0:05:56 > 0:06:00No offence to Double Dave or anybody. It'd be lovely if Mave and Dan won.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Obviously, we can't make it happen.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Although Round One is Musicals of the '40s
0:06:04 > 0:06:08and Round Two is Asking Directions to the Railway Station in Barcelona.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10LAUGHTER
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Very good. Thanks so much, Richard.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Our questions on Pointless are put to 100 people before the show.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19We are looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21To stay in the game and have a chance of winning our jackpot
0:06:21 > 0:06:24our players need to score as few points as they can.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26What everyone's trying to do is to find a pointless answer.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29That's an answer that none of our 100 people gave
0:06:29 > 0:06:32and each time that happens we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38so today's jackpot starts off
0:06:38 > 0:06:40at £3,250.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42APPLAUSE
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Right, if everyone's ready. Let's play Pointless!
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Now, in this first round each of you must give me one answer.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00You cannot confer with your partner. The pair with the highest score at the end of the round is eliminated.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04If you give me an incorrect answer, you will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Do try and avoid those, if you possibly can.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Our first category today is...
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Education.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Can you all decide on your pairs, who's going first and who's going second.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19And, whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26We gave 100 people, 100 seconds, to name as many UK universities
0:07:26 > 0:07:31in the Times Higher Education Top 400, as they could.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34UK universities in the Times Higher Education Top 400, Richard.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37We're looking for any UK university or higher education institute
0:07:37 > 0:07:40that appeared in the Times Higher Education list
0:07:40 > 0:07:44of the top 400 universities in the world. Very best of luck.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46OK, thank you very much.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Mave and Dan, you all drew lots before the show
0:07:49 > 0:07:51and today you are going first.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Mave, is this a good category for you?
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Well, I know a few but whether...
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I'll try Warwick.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Warwick, says, Mave, let's see if that's right
0:08:03 > 0:08:06and, if it is, let's see how many people said, Warwick.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09It's right!
0:08:14 > 0:08:1511, that's a great answer, Mave.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17APPLAUSE
0:08:17 > 0:08:19A great answer, lovely low score.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25Warwick, well played, Mave, ranked 157th in the world.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Warwick, it's near Coventry.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Stuart?
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Well I've driven past a few universities, that's as close as I ever got.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I think one of them I drove past would have been Exeter.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43OK, Exeter, you are saying. Let's see how many people said, Exeter.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46It is right.
0:08:51 > 0:08:5211!
0:08:52 > 0:08:54APPLAUSE
0:08:54 > 0:08:5611, exactly the same as Warwick.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58There we are, very well done, Stuart.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Well played, Stuart, Warwick was 157th on the list,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04good news for Exeter, it's 156th on the list.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Wow!
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Dave R, now remember we are looking for UK universities
0:09:09 > 0:09:13that are in the Times Higher Education Top 400.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Oh, I'm not confident with this.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22I'm going to say, Liverpool John Moores University.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26That sounds very confident, Liverpool John Moores?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I know it's a university but it's whether...
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Is it in the world's top 400? Exactly.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Liverpool John Moores,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38is it right and if it is, how many people said Liverpool John Moores?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Well done, it's right!
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Well done, Dave R.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50And it's pointless!
0:09:50 > 0:09:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:09:51 > 0:09:54It's a pointless answer and adds £250 to today's jackpot.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57It takes the total up to £3,500.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00It scores you nothing.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Very well done, indeed, Dave R.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- It's a brilliant answer, isn't it? - Isn't it?- Very well played.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06The former Lady Liverpool Polytechnic,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09named after Sir John Moores who founded the Littlewoods empire.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11When you get over 200, they don't give exact scorings
0:10:11 > 0:10:14but it became between 350th and 400th.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19Oh, now then, Ian, what is the most obscure university
0:10:19 > 0:10:22you can think of that is within the world's top 400 and is in the UK?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Well, not many.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27We've had three good answers so it puts a bit of pressure on.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30I'm going for one that's close to home, and I hope it's in the top 400
0:10:30 > 0:10:32and I'll say, York.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36York, let's see if that's correct and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Yeah, it's right.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Wow!
0:10:47 > 0:10:49CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:10:50 > 0:10:53That turns out to be a fantastic answer, Ian.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55York scores you only 3.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57I know, very well played, Ian. 121st on the list.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01You know, all sorts of people watch this show in universities
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- who'll be listening out for their rankings.- Yeah.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- 121st, that's the best so far.- Yeah.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- Well done, York. - Well done. Good going.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Dave R, what a fabulous answer
0:11:13 > 0:11:15with the John Moores University in Liverpool,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17scoring you nothing.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19The double Dave looking very strong, indeed.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Then up to three where we find Ian and Ann.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Then up to 11 when we find Mave and Dan and Stuart and Paul.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Who would have thought 11 was our high score?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30There we are, Dan and Paul, it's going to be between you
0:11:30 > 0:11:34in the next pass to see who stays with us and who leaves us.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Very best of luck.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38OK, can the second players take their places at the podium.
0:11:41 > 0:11:47OK, so we are looking for UK universities in the Times Higher Education Top 400.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Now then, Ann, after Ian's brilliant answer of York, you are on 3.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55The high scorers on 11 are Dan and Mave and Paul and Stuart,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57which means a score of 7 or less
0:11:57 > 0:11:59will mean you don't become the high scorers.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02I'll say Newcastle.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Newcastle, says Ann. There's your red line.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07If you get below that red line with Newcastle,
0:12:07 > 0:12:10you're definitely through to the next round.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Let's see if Newcastle's right, and if it is, how may people said it.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Absolutely right.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Oh, very, well done, indeed.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25APPLAUSE
0:12:25 > 0:12:28That scores you 7, takes your total up to 10,
0:12:28 > 0:12:30you are through to Round Two.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- Very well done, Newcastle.- Well played, Ann, came 146th on the list.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37It beats Exeter, Warwick and John Moores, but loses to York.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Kate Adie, Rowan Atkinson, and Bryan Ferry, all went there.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- All went to Newcastle? - Yeah.- That's right.
0:12:43 > 0:12:49Now then, Dave D, Dave R scored nothing, a pointless answer.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Could you possibly hold your head up high
0:12:51 > 0:12:54if you get anything more than a pointless answer?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- I'll answer that for you, no you can't! - LAUGHTER
0:12:57 > 0:13:01The high scorers on 11 are Dan and Mave, Paul and Stuart, you're on nothing.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05If you scored 10 or less, you are through to the next round. Let's have a pointless answer, Dave.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08The standard of the answers has been incredibly high
0:13:08 > 0:13:12and I'm concerned I'm about to put an end to that particular trend.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14I don't even know if there is a university in this place,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16but I'm going to go for Bath.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20OK, you're going for Bath, here is your red line,
0:13:20 > 0:13:21there it is, nice and low.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25If you get below that red line, you are definitely in the next round.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Bath, how many people said Bath, is it right?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31It is right.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Very well done, you've done it, 6.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40APPLAUSE
0:13:41 > 0:13:43That is a great answer, Dave D.
0:13:43 > 0:13:466 for Bath takes your total up to 6.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Well played, Dave D, it's a tense round now for the remaining pairs.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53It's ranked between 250th and 275th on the list.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Now then, Paul,
0:13:55 > 0:14:00we are looking for UK universities in the Times Higher Education Top 400.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03You're the joint high scorers.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07You have no target score, other than to get as low as you possibly can.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Probably around pointless.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13No pressure! Unfortunately, I'm quite a thick salesman
0:14:13 > 0:14:14so I never went to university.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18I'm going to have to take a bit of a guess and say, Aberystwyth.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23Aberystwyth. OK, no red line for you, you've got to hope it goes down as far as it possibly can.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Aberystwyth, how many people said it, is it right?
0:14:29 > 0:14:30It is right.
0:14:35 > 0:14:374!
0:14:37 > 0:14:38APPLAUSE
0:14:38 > 0:14:424 for Aberystwyth, takes your total up to 15.
0:14:43 > 0:14:49Very well played, Paul, it's a very good answer. Prince Charles spent a term at Aberystwyth.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- Did he?- He did, yes.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58Now, Dan, talk us through your answers. Think up some fun answers and when you've decided
0:14:58 > 0:15:01which is the most obscure and which one you think has the best chance
0:15:01 > 0:15:05of beating Paul's brilliant score of 4,
0:15:05 > 0:15:06you then submit it.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11OK, well, I did have Bath in my head and I also had Bristol
0:15:11 > 0:15:12but I don't know...
0:15:12 > 0:15:17- I think that might be a bit higher. - Bath, 6, is too high a score?
0:15:17 > 0:15:22Yeah, I think Bristol will be higher than that. I also have things like London School of Economics
0:15:22 > 0:15:25and Brunel, but I'm not really sure about them.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31But I think, yeah, I think I'm going to have to go with Brunel.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Brunel, we're looking for UK universities that are
0:15:35 > 0:15:38in the Times Higher Education Top 400, Brunel.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41There is your red line.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Very low, you have to score 3 or less.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Let's see if Brunel is right and see how many people said it.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52It's right.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Is it going to make it down to the red line and below?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Yes, you've done it, 1!
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Very, well done, indeed, Dan.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01APPLAUSE
0:16:01 > 0:16:041 takes your total up to 12.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Wow!
0:16:07 > 0:16:11What a round, very tough luck that anyone's gone out there, terrific answer, Dan.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Brunel, it's based in Uxbridge.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16The closest you can get to going to Oxbridge without going to Cambridge and Oxford.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Had its origins in Acton Technical College
0:16:20 > 0:16:23and became a university in 1966. Very good answer.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27And, Dan, if you had said the LSE, if you'd gone with that instead of Brunel,
0:16:27 > 0:16:31it would have scored you 7 points. It would have seen you knocked out.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33You chose very, very wisely.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38There's some pointless answers up here. We've already heard one but let's look at the rest of them.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Birkbeck, University of London, would have been pointless.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Dave gave us Liverpool John Moores University.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Queen Mary, University of London, that would have been pointless.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Royal Holloway, University of London, pointless.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50University of Essex is pointless.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53They've got an 18-hole frisbee golf course at the University of Essex.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- Have they?- I've been there. That's not why it's pointless.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- It's quite a nice thing to have? - Brilliant thing to have.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- Where is it, the University of Essex?- Essex.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03LAUGHTER
0:17:03 > 0:17:06University of Hertfordshire, do you want to know where it is?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09I think I know what you are going to say.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11University of Kent was a pointless answer,
0:17:11 > 0:17:15University of Stirling, and the highest one on the list of any of the pointless answers,
0:17:15 > 0:17:1899th best in the world, University of Sussex was a pointless answer.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Very well done if you said any of those or if you go to any of those.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26Let's take a look at the most popular answers, the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Durham University would've scored you 26 points.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34University of Cambridge, 80 points, a big leap up there.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39University of Oxford, beats Cambridge with 81 points.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42If you are currently at university and haven't heard your university being mentioned
0:17:42 > 0:17:45and you're wondering if it's on the list, look it up.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47If you can't look it up, then it's not on the list.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48LAUGHTER
0:17:50 > 0:17:51Thanks very much, Richard.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53At the end of the first round,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56the losing pair with the highest score, I'm afraid, it's Stuart and Paul.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Bad luck, but a high score of 15. That's your total, 15.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- You wouldn't think you would go out with 15.- You wouldn't but then everybody scored fantastic.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07We had some really good answers on that round.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Paul and Stuart, it's been great having you on the show.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Thank you, great contestants.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17For the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26Now obviously there's only going to be room for two pairs in our head-to-head round
0:18:26 > 0:18:29so one of the teams in front of me will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32OK, our category for Round Two is...
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Literary characters.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Can you all decide, who's going to go first, who's going second.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47So our question concerns...
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Titular female characters and their creators.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Titular female characters and their creators, Richard.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58On each pass we'll give you the names of six works of fiction,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01all named after one of their female characters.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Can you tell us the author of that work of fiction, please.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09Give us a nice obscure answer, you'll score fewer points. An incorrect answer will give you 100 points.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12There will be 12 authors in all to have a go at at home, very best of luck.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Thanks very much, indeed.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18We are looking for the authors who created these titular female characters.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22As ever, Dan, you're trying to find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26OK, here they come, our six titular female characters.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36I'll just read them one more time.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48There they are, Dan. There are your female titular characters.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54I think I'm going to go with, Anna Karenina, Tolstoy.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Anna Karenina, says Dan, Tolstoy.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that answer.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04It is right.
0:20:08 > 0:20:1028.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12APPLAUSE
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I think that'll do, 28 for Tolstoy.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Well played, Dan, published in instalments between 1873 and 1877.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21It's got a very famous first line which is,
0:20:21 > 0:20:23"Happy families are all alike.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26"Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- Not true.- No, no.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- But quotable.- Yeah.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36Dave D, so remember we are looking for the authors who created these female heroines.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39There's one that I think I know
0:20:39 > 0:20:41and I suspect it's the highest scoring answer, sadly.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45But, better than 100, unless it's wrong.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49I'm going for Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, written by Beatrix Potter.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54Beatrix Potter, says Dave D. Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, is that right, how many people knew that answer?
0:20:56 > 0:20:57It's absolutely right.
0:21:00 > 0:21:0239.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03APPLAUSE
0:21:03 > 0:21:05That's a lot better than 100.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10Yes, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle who's a hedgehog and washerwoman, who lives in the Lake District.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15Now then, Ann, you are the last person to have this board.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16You can talk us through it.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20I should be able to but I just can't think of any, the moment.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I'll just have to go for Madame Bovary, Charles Dickens.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Madame Bovary, Charles Dickens, says Ann.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Bad luck.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer which means you score 100 points.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41I'm sorry. Richard.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Sorry, Ann, it the French author, Gustave Flaubert.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46It would have scored you six points.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Let's go through the rest of the board, you'll be very good, I suspect.
0:21:49 > 0:21:55- Moll Flanders?- It's either Jonathan Swift or Daniel Defoe.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57It is either of them.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58LAUGHTER
0:21:58 > 0:22:00What are you going to go for?
0:22:00 > 0:22:02I'm going to go for, for...
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Jonathan Swift.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05Oh, that's a shame.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07It's Daniel Defoe.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Sorry, it would have scored you 9 points.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Went on to play centre forward for Tottenham, as well.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Mrs Dalloway?
0:22:16 > 0:22:17That I don't know.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Virginia Woolf, who went on to star in Gladiators.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22That would've scored you 3 points.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24And, Daisy Miller?
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Is Henry James.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28It's the best answer and is on the board and would have scored 2.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32That's a tough board. I don't want to upset anyone, but I think the next board's even tougher
0:22:32 > 0:22:36but very well done if you got all six of those. That's terrific.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Let's take a look at the scores as we're halfway through the round.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Dan and Mave, the lowest scorers of the pass on 28,
0:22:45 > 0:22:47very well done, indeed.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Then up to 39 where we find double Dave
0:22:49 > 0:22:52and then I'm afraid a long way to 100 where we find Anne and Ian.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Ian, you know what we need from you on the next pass.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57A miracle!
0:22:57 > 0:23:00You will have first dibs on the board, though.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Let's hope that serves you well. We're coming back down the line,
0:23:04 > 0:23:07can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14OK, we're going to put six more titular female characters on the board and here they come.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25I'll read them one last time.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Lorna Doone, Shirley Valentine, Tilly Trotter,
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Major Barbara, Little Dorrit and Pippi Longstocking.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Remember, we are looking for the authors
0:23:33 > 0:23:35who created these titular female characters
0:23:35 > 0:23:38and you're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Now then, Ian, the high scorers on 100.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43We need a miracle from you here.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Do you know any of those obscurer sounding titular females?
0:23:46 > 0:23:51Not 100%, really. It was the same on the other board as well.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54I shall just have to go for the one that I might know,
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Little Dorrit...
0:23:55 > 0:23:58No, I don't even know if it's right...
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Charles Dickens.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Little Dorrit, Charles Dickens, says Ian.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06You're the high scorers so there's no red line.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10Absolutely right.
0:24:14 > 0:24:1534.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17APPLAUSE
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Not a bad answer. 34 takes your total up to 134. Richard?
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Still in with a chance, Ian, with that score.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Published in 19 instalments between 1855 and 1857.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Now then, Dave R, library assistant.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34It's your turn.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38- How does that board look to you? - Not good.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42There's one I think I can guess at but it could be way off,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44it could be right.
0:24:44 > 0:24:50Erm, so I'll say Lorna Doone, George Eliot?
0:24:50 > 0:24:54There's your red line, it's lovely and high. Lorna Doone, George Eliot,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56how many people said it?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00No!
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Bad luck, Dave R.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer which takes your total
0:25:05 > 0:25:09up to an unassailable 139,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11having scored your 100 points. Richard...
0:25:11 > 0:25:15It does sound like a George Eliot novel, doesn't it? You wouldn't be surprised,
0:25:15 > 0:25:16but not one of hers, I'm afraid.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Now then, Mave, I've got great news for you.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24You're in the head-to-head, not now...
0:25:24 > 0:25:27that's coming. You are through to the head-to-head even if you score 100 points,
0:25:27 > 0:25:31you won't overtake the Daves high score of 139.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Remember we are looking for the authors who created these female heroines.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Well I know two of them, Tilly Trotter,
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Catherine Cookson, I think.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42Lorna Doone, Blackmore...
0:25:42 > 0:25:46I'm not sure of the initials of him.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49So I'll say Tilly Trotter, Catherine Cookson.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Tilly Trotter, Catherine Cookson, some nice alliterations there.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Tilly Trotter, Catherine Cookson says Mave, is it right?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00It is right.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Oh, very well done, indeed, Mave. 12.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07APPLAUSE
0:26:07 > 0:26:09The lowest score of the round, I might add,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12takes your total up to 40. Very well done indeed, Richard.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17Well played, Mave, the first of a trilogy published in 1980
0:26:17 > 0:26:20followed by Tilly Trotter Wed and Tilly Trotter Widowed.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- The Tilly Trotter trilogy? - The Tilly Trotter trilogy.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- It's terrific.- Yeah, I'll say!
0:26:26 > 0:26:29You're right about Blackmore as well. It's RD Blackmore who wrote Lorna Doone.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Would have scored you 11 points.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- Major Barbara? - It's George Bernard Shaw.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Absolutely right and would've scored you 8 points.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- Pippi Longstocking? - I don't know that.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Astrid Lindgren would've scored you 2 points
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- and Shirley Valentine, the best answer on the board.- Willy Russell.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Willy Russell, absolutely right and would have scored you 1 point.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48Very, very well played.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52Very well done if anyone got all 12 of those, that's very impressive.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- That was hard, wasn't it? - Very hard, indeed.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Shall we shake out a bit. - I think we might.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00OK...
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Happy?- A little bit more, a little bit more. That's got it.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- You've got it. - I've got Moll Flanders to work out.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Daniel Defoe, Jonathan Swift!
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Thanks very much, Richard, And, the losing pair with highest score is double Dave.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Double Dave, but you did the right thing,
0:27:16 > 0:27:21you did the right thing and went for a nice obscure one that you thought.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25- Blackmore, how much was that? - 11 points, RD Blackmore would have scored.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28You see 11, you'd have been absolutely plainly through.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32We have to say goodbye to you. The great news is we'll see you again next time
0:27:32 > 0:27:34and let's hope we see you do much better then.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Sorry to say goodbye. Dave R, Dave D, great contestants, thanks for playing.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40APPLAUSE
0:27:40 > 0:27:45For the remaining two pairs, things are getting more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Well, congratulations Mave and Dan, Ian and Ann,
0:27:54 > 0:27:57you are now only one round away from the final and a chance
0:27:57 > 0:28:01to play for a jackpot which currently stands at £3,500.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03AUDIENCE: Whoo!
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Only one pair can play for that money and to decide which pair it's going to be,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11you're going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Basically, the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot
0:28:14 > 0:28:17and the great news is you are now allowed to confer.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29OK, here is your first question and it concerns...
0:28:29 > 0:28:31US tourist attractions.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33US tourist attractions, Richard?
0:28:33 > 0:28:37We're going to show you five pictures of famous US tourist attractions
0:28:37 > 0:28:40You just have to tell us in which state is that attraction?
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Very, very best of luck.
0:28:44 > 0:28:45Right, thanks Richard,
0:28:45 > 0:28:48let's reveal our five US tourist attractions and here they come.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05OK, so there are the five US tourist attractions.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Mave and Dan, you go first.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10You want to identify the state in which you would find the one
0:29:10 > 0:29:14that you think is the one the fewest of our 100 people would have known.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16- THEY WHISPER - Do you have any idea?
0:29:16 > 0:29:18- Dakota's D, isn't it? - I don't know.- North Dakota.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- North or South?- North Dakota.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25We think D is North Dakota.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30D North Dakota say Mave and Dan.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32North Dakota.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35Ian and Ann, you can now talk out loud.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40Take us through the rest of the board, if you like.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- You can also go for D as well if... - No, it's right, that one.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47We knew that one. Hollywood, that would be very high.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Is that the Empire State Building, C?
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Is that New York, then? We don't really know any, to be honest.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- Let's say New York. - We'll go for C...
0:29:55 > 0:29:57and say New York.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59You're going to say C, New York.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Mave and Dan have said North Dakota for D. D, North Dakota.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03Let's see if that's right
0:30:03 > 0:30:06and if it is, let's see how many people said it North Dakota.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11AUDIENCE GROANS
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Oooh.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18It's the other one.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22Ian and Ann, you have said New York for C.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25C, New York. Let's see if that's right
0:30:25 > 0:30:27and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30It only has to be right for you to win this question.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Yup, of course it's right!
0:30:37 > 0:30:3848.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40APPLAUSE
0:30:40 > 0:30:43But most importantly, it was right. Which means after one question,
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Ian and Ann, you are up, 1-0. Richard.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Yes, that's a point you didn't think you'd get.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52It's actually the Chrysler Building in New York City, New York State.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56It's not North Dakota, I'm afraid, Mount Rushmore, it's in South Dakota.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Most famously in North By North West, the film,
0:30:59 > 0:31:02but in South Dakota. That would have scored you 5 points,
0:31:02 > 0:31:04would have been a very good answer as well.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- A, do you know A?- Florida.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09It is Florida. Seven Mile Bridge and Pigeon Key.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11It's in Licence To Kill, the Bond film, that.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14That would have scored you 21 points.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18- B?- No idea. - Everyone will have heard of it,
0:31:18 > 0:31:20- but perhaps not recognised it. That's the Alamo.- Ah.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21It's the Alamo in Texas.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24That would have scored you 4 points,
0:31:24 > 0:31:27so that would have been a terrific answer.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29And the only one left there, the Hollywood sign
0:31:29 > 0:31:33which obviously is in California. Los Angeles, California.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37- But would only have scored you 43 points, funnily enough.- Wow.- Yep.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39OK. Well, thanks very much, Richard.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Here comes your second question, Mave and Dan.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45We need you to win this question if you want to stay in the game.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Our second question concerns...
0:31:48 > 0:31:49gold.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- Gold. Richard. - We're going to give you five clues
0:31:54 > 0:31:56to people, places and things to do with gold. Can you give us
0:31:56 > 0:31:58the most obscure answer, please?
0:31:58 > 0:32:02OK. Thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five clues.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03And here they come. We have got...
0:32:21 > 0:32:22I'll read those all one more time.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42OK. So there are our five clues to facts about gold.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Now, Ian and Ann, you go first this time.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47OK. If we were second,
0:32:47 > 0:32:50we may have guessed at one that we weren't sure of.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55- But will go for carats for the unit of purity for gold alloys.- OK.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58The carat, the unit of purity for gold alloys, the carat,
0:32:58 > 0:33:01say Ian and Ann.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Now then, Mave and Dan, the board is yours.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06You can talk us through it, if you like.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10The king was King Midas and the country was Canada, wasn't it?
0:33:10 > 0:33:14- For the gold rush.- Yes.- Chemical symbol could be something like...- H.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16He, that's what I was thinking.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20- I'm thinking Midas would be the best one.- Do you think? Yeah.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- We'll go King Midas.- King Midas. - You're going to go King Midas. OK.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25So, we have from Ian and Ann,
0:33:25 > 0:33:27we have the carat, the unit of purity for gold alloys.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:33:30 > 0:33:32let's see how many people said carat.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35It's right.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Ooh. 71.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41APPLAUSE
0:33:41 > 0:33:4671 for the carat. Now then, Mave and Dan, you have to win this point.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50You have to be right and you have to score lower than 71.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52You have said King Midas was the king in Greek mythology
0:33:52 > 0:33:54whose touch turned things to gold. Midas.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Is it right? How many people said that?
0:33:59 > 0:34:01OK. It's right. Will it...
0:34:01 > 0:34:02AUDIENCE GROANS
0:34:02 > 0:34:0483!
0:34:04 > 0:34:06APPLAUSE
0:34:07 > 0:34:1183. Which means after only two questions, Ian and Ann,
0:34:11 > 0:34:12you are through to the final,
0:34:12 > 0:34:152-0. Well done. Richard.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Do you remember earlier, Dan, when you had the choice
0:34:17 > 0:34:18between Brunel and the LSE
0:34:18 > 0:34:21and you chose very, very wisely in that first round.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23This is about as spectacularly unwisely
0:34:23 > 0:34:25as you choose because your grandmother knew
0:34:25 > 0:34:27the answer to the Klondike
0:34:27 > 0:34:29which was Canada
0:34:29 > 0:34:32and rather than scoring 83 that would have scored you...
0:34:32 > 0:34:3313 points.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Would have been a much, much better answer and scored you the point.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38The chemical symbol is...
0:34:38 > 0:34:39- Au.- Au.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43That would have scored you 36 points and would also have won the point.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Wrote "Beauty provoketh thieves sooner than gold."
0:34:45 > 0:34:47If you don't know it, you could probably guess.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- Shakespeare.- Shakespeare. Absolutely right.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51Would have scored you 11 points.
0:34:51 > 0:34:56Very, very bad luck, guys. You played very well throughout. Tough luck.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58Thank you very much, Richard. So the losing pair
0:34:58 > 0:35:01at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid it's Mave and Dan.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Bad luck there. Why didn't you go with Canada?!
0:35:04 > 0:35:08- I don't know.- It was my decision. I'm sorry. It was my decision.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10- I thought Midas might be... - I did as well though.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12- I thought it was going to be quite low.- Oh dear.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16Anyway, the good news is we get to see you again. Had you gone through, that would have been it.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19But we get you for a whole new show which will be wonderful.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Thanks so much for playing, Mave and Dan.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:24 > 0:35:28But for Ian and Ann, it's now time for our pointless final.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Congratulations, Ian and Ann.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35You have fought off all the competition
0:35:35 > 0:35:37and you have won our coveted pointless trophy.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46You now have a chance to win our pointless jackpot
0:35:46 > 0:35:50and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £3,500.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52APPLAUSE
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Now, the rules are very simple.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58To win the money, all you have to do is to find a pointless answer.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00We've had one pointless answer on the show today.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02You only have to find one more
0:36:02 > 0:36:05and you will go home with that £3,500 jackpot.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Firstly, you've got to choose a category
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- from these five options.- They are...
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- Snooker?- No.- British Actors?
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Won't be world champions because they've had that.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- I think British Actors. - Right, I'll go with you.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28We're going to go for British Actors.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32Hopefully, an obscure film that I know will have an actor in.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36OK. Very good. Let's find out what the question is on British Actors.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:36:38 > 0:36:44to name as many Anthony Hopkins films as they could. Richard.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47We're looking for any feature film given a cinema release
0:36:47 > 0:36:50for which Anthony Hopkins has received an acting credit
0:36:50 > 0:36:52or a voice credit prior to the beginning of 2012.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55As always, no TV films, short films or documentaries
0:36:55 > 0:36:57or films where he made an uncredited appearance
0:36:57 > 0:36:59such as Mission impossible II.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Any Anthony Hopkins films, please. Very best of luck.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Thanks, Richard. You now have up to one minute to come up with
0:37:05 > 0:37:09three answers. All you need to win that £3,500
0:37:09 > 0:37:12is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- Are you ready?- Yes.- Yes.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Right. It's not one of the obscure films I don't know.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- If I had a photograph of him... - His voice... The Welsh...- Which one?
0:37:25 > 0:37:28He played Hannibal Lecter.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30- That wasn't Anthony Hopkins, was it?- Yep.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Erm...
0:37:33 > 0:37:36But we can't go for The Silence Of The Lambs cos that's pretty obvious.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39I don't know what the follow-up's called. Silence Of the Lambs II?!
0:37:39 > 0:37:41He must have been in some Welsh films.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46How Green Was My Valley. That's going back years, isn't it?
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- He's quite old, isn't he?! - What else was he in?
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Erm...
0:37:51 > 0:37:53I can't help you, sorry.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Who did he used to star in films with?
0:37:56 > 0:37:57No big actresses?
0:37:58 > 0:37:59I really don't know.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05- Erm...- What about the other Welsh fella? Was he with him?
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- Richard Burton, did he do any with Richard Burton?- Possibly. Possibly.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- Yes, he probably will do. - Ten seconds left.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12- Was he in any war films? - Richard Burton...
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Any war films that he was in? We'll just say a war film.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17I only know him from The Silence Of The Lambs, really.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18I know who you mean now.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- OK. That is your time up, I'm afraid.- It's up to you.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- Right. We haven't done very well, I don't think.- Oh dear.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28It's a tough category, this, isn't it? OK.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30We were looking for Anthony Hopkins's films.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31I now need your three answers.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33We'll say Hannibal.
0:38:33 > 0:38:34- Hannibal.- Yes.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Erm... We'll say How Green Was My Valley just cos it's a Welsh film.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41How Green Was My Valley.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44That may have been when he was about two, I believe.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Erm, and a third film...
0:38:47 > 0:38:48Erm...
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Bridge Over The River Kwai.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Bridge Over The River Kwai.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Of those three, which do you think
0:38:55 > 0:38:57is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:57 > 0:39:02- We'll say Hannibal cos it's the only one I think he was in. - OK. We'll put Hannibal last.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04- LAUGHTER - And your least likely?
0:39:04 > 0:39:05Green Grass.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07The...
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- How Green Was My Valley. - I think that was 1940-something.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11I'm thinking Tom Jones.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14- We'll pop them up on the board in that order.- Oh dear.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Here are the answers you gave.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19How Green Was My Valley,
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Bridge Over The River Kwai
0:39:21 > 0:39:22and Hannibal.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24There are the three answers.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27OK. We were looking for Anthony Hopkins films.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30Your first answer was How Green Was My Valley.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Remember, you only have to find one pointless answer
0:39:34 > 0:39:38to win that jackpot of £3,500. This was your least confident shot
0:39:38 > 0:39:41at a pointless answer. Let's see if it's right though and if it is,
0:39:41 > 0:39:44let's see how many people said How Green Was My Valley.
0:39:47 > 0:39:48No!
0:39:48 > 0:39:51OK. You weren't expecting that to be right, I think.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54That was a bit of a long shot. Unfortunately, an incorrect answer,
0:39:54 > 0:39:57not a pointless answer. Only two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:57 > 0:40:02Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Bridge Over The River Kwai.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04This has to be pointless. So, for £3,500,
0:40:04 > 0:40:06how many people said, Bridge Over The River Kwai?
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Bad luck. Also an incorrect answer.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Not, therefore, pointless which means you only have
0:40:16 > 0:40:19one more chance to win today's jackpot. Now, this last answer...
0:40:20 > 0:40:22- ..you know is right.- No.- OK.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- I'm having doubts.- You're having your doubts about the last one.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28We were looking for Anthony Hopkins's films.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Your third and final answer was Hannibal.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34This was your most confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36To win the jackpot of £3,500
0:40:36 > 0:40:38it has to be right and it has to be pointless.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Hannibal, is it pointless?
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Oooh, that's more like it. It's right. Look at that.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46So, How Green Was My Valley was an incorrect answer.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Bridge Over The River Kwai was an incorrect answer.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Your third and final answer, Hannibal...
0:40:52 > 0:40:5329.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56APPLAUSE
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Bad luck. I'm afraid you didn't manage
0:41:01 > 0:41:03to find that all-important pointless answer
