0:00:18 > 0:00:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:28 > 0:00:32the quiz show where the aim of the game is to score as few points as you possibly can.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36And to do that, you need to come up with the answers that no-one else could think of.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Let's meet today's players.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40APPLAUSE
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Now, first, we welcome Aislinn and Jess.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Now, how do you to know each other?
0:00:47 > 0:00:50We're sisters, yeah, but we also work together,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53so we do quite a lot together at the moment.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Have you always done lots together?
0:00:55 > 0:00:57This year we're working together cos Jess is on her gap year,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00so she's working at the school I work at.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Right you are.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04So, we work together, we live together, we socialise together.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Go to Zumba together.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- And now appear on Pointless together.- Yes!- OK, very good.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Today, Aislinn, what do you hope comes up? What would be brilliant for you?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Anything to do with Simon Pegg would be marvellous.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16OK, yeah.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Or something to do with ska music. I'm a big fan of The Specials,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22so anything to do with The Specials would be quite good.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Jess, how about you? Anything you'd hate to see come up?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- I would hate... Oh, sport.- Sport. - Definitely.- Any sport?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Yeah, all sport, any sport. I can't do it.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Very good. Welcome to the show. It's lovely to have you here.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Next, we welcome Jeff and Helen. Now, how do you to know each other?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Jeff's my husband, and we've been married for 12 years.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Very good indeed. And Jeff, where have you come from?
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- We live and work in Exeter.- Right you are. What do you do there, Jeff?
0:01:47 > 0:01:51I'm a clinical skills technician. And voice actor.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- And voice actor?- Yes.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58Let's stick with the clinical skills technician side first.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00What does that involve?
0:02:00 > 0:02:05That involves looking after jigs and dummies and equipment for teaching students.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Medical students.- Oh, right, medical students, I see.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- What about the voice acting?- Well, the voice acting is simulation.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15That's where I have to groan and heavy breathe, moan a lot.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- OK, good.- I sort of want to hear that, don't you?- Yeah!
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- I think we might just go through his repertoire.- OK, asthma first.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26HE WHEEZES AND SPLUTTERS
0:02:28 > 0:02:30APPLAUSE
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- And dying?- Dying is just...
0:02:37 > 0:02:40LAUGHTER
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I thought the asthma was very good.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45You can download that now as a ringtone if you like,
0:02:45 > 0:02:47by pressing the red button now.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50That also must be the only voiceover in the world that you haven't done.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53LAUGHTER
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Oh, you have done it! You have done it, yeah, yeah.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59It's lovely to have you here, Jeff and Helen. Welcome to Pointless.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02We welcome back Hannah and Howard. You were on the show last time.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Everyone gets two chances, of course, to reach the final.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06This is your second chance.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Howard, what happened last time?
0:03:08 > 0:03:13Well, we came unstuck when you asked us a question about...
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- Yes!- About that.- Maiden names. - Maiden names, yes.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Maiden names, that's right. Oh! That was a killer!
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- It was terrible.- It was a really hard round, that one.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26What do you like to get up to, Hannah, in your spare time?
0:03:26 > 0:03:31I'm an avid shoe collector. I have over 200 pairs of shoes.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Where do you keep them?
0:03:32 > 0:03:37- Hmm, everywhere! Piled high in boxes up to the ceiling in my flat.- Wow!
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Lovely to have you back on the show. Very, very best of luck.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42And finally, we welcome back Darren and Graham.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44You were also on the show last time.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Darren, remind us how you two know each other.- He's my dad.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50We kind of look slightly alike.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Yeah, you do. - LAUGHTER
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Very good. And what happened last time, Darren?- Didn't go so well.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57We went out in the first round,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00all down to the capital cities beginning with B.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- Graham, reminds us what your answer was?- It was Germany and Berlin.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Yeah, you see, Germany - this is the rule of Pointless -
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Germany and Man United will always be at the top of any table on Pointless,
0:04:09 > 0:04:13and I'm afraid in this case, Germany was the high-scorer in that round.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17But they're two good answers. I'm sure we're going to see much more of you today.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Hope so, anyway. Very, very best of luck.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21We'll find out more about each of you during the show.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26His brain weighs more than a baby llama.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Hiya.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Hello. APPLAUSE
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- 1.17kg...- That's the one!
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- ..is the weight of a baby llama. - Baby llama.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- Unless I'm very much mistaken.- Yeah.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Unless I very much haven't just made that up.
0:04:46 > 0:04:52There's going to be some unhappiness in certain quarters about Round One.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57It's not going to go down well in certain quarters.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- In certain quarters?- And when I say not well, I mean, like, REALLY badly.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02LAUGHTER
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- OK. Looking forward to it.- Yeah.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Thanks very much, Richard.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10All our questions on Pointless are put to 100 people before the show.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13In order to get the final round and be in with a chance of winning the jackpot,
0:05:13 > 0:05:18all our contestants need to do is find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20The fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer,
0:05:20 > 0:05:23the fewer points they'll score. What everyone is trying to do is to find
0:05:23 > 0:05:27a pointless answer. That's an answer that none of our 100 people gave,
0:05:27 > 0:05:31and each time that happens, we will add another £250 to the jackpot.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Now, Miriam and Jeff won the jackpot last time,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36so today's jackpot starts off at...
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42APPLAUSE
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Now, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:05:48 > 0:05:50and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53The pair with the highest score at the end of the round is eliminated.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55So, try and make sure that's not you.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58OK, our first category this afternoon is...
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:06:04 > 0:06:06who's going to go second?
0:06:06 > 0:06:10And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:06:18 > 0:06:20..as they could.
0:06:20 > 0:06:232012 Formula 1 drivers. Richard.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25We're looking for the names of any of the 24 drivers who
0:06:25 > 0:06:28started the Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31And by started the season, we'll take anybody who is listed
0:06:31 > 0:06:34on the official website as having started the season. Best of luck.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Thanks very much, Richard.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Now then, Aislinn and Jess, you all drew lots before the show,
0:06:40 > 0:06:41and today, you are going first.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44And Jess, you have elected to stand up.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Yes. Erm, I don't know.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49I've got a couple of answers in my mind.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52They're all going to be right at the top of the board.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I'm just try to figure out which would be lowest of them.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Erm...
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I'm going to say Sebastian Vettel.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Sebastian Vettel.- Yeah.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03OK. Let's see if that's right,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06and if so, let's see how many of our 100 people said Sebastian Vettel.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10It's correct.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Very well done. 13, Jess. - APPLAUSE
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Good score.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Well played, Jess. Very solid start.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29He was the world champion in 2010 and 2011, driving for Red Bull.
0:07:29 > 0:07:35Jeff, a nice, obscure Formula 1 driver from the 2012 season.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Not that good for me... Going to have to be a safe one, I think.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42And I'll say...
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Lewis Hamilton.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Lewis Hamilton, says Jeff.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52OK, let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:07:52 > 0:07:54let's see how many of our 100 people said Lewis Hamilton.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58It's right.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- APPLAUSE - 35.- Not bad.
0:08:07 > 0:08:0935. It might be a well-known name,
0:08:09 > 0:08:11but you've taken him off the grid.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- Might be a clever tactical move. Richard.- It's a correct answer, better than 100 points.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18The champion in 2008, Lewis Hamilton.
0:08:18 > 0:08:23Now then, Howard. Remember, we are looking for Formula 1 drivers
0:08:23 > 0:08:24in the 2012 season.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29This is not a great subject for me, but I've got one in mind
0:08:29 > 0:08:33which may be wrong, may be obscure, I don't know.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Timo Glock.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Timo Glock, says Howard. Timo Glock.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39HANNAH LAUGHS
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Hannah's...laughing. That's all I'm going to say.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Why are you laughing? Or are we all about to discover?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- I think you should just play it safe. It's round one.- OK.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Let's not...
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Let's see, Timo Glock, is it right
0:08:53 > 0:08:56and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Timo Glock?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- It's right! - HANNAH CHUCKLES
0:09:03 > 0:09:07There we are! Very well done, Howard!
0:09:07 > 0:09:10It's a pointless answer, it adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:09:10 > 0:09:15takes the total up to £1,250 and it scores you nothing.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Very, very well done indeed, Howard. Timo Glock.- Well played, Howard.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Remind us of that advice, Hannah. THEY LAUGH
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Timo Glock, driving for the Marussia team this season.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28He was right in the heart of things when Lewis Hamilton won his title
0:09:28 > 0:09:29in 2008.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Graham.- What a hard act to follow. - Mm.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37I'm going to go for Kimi Raikkonen.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Kimi Raikkonen, says Graham. Let's see if Kimi Raikkonen's right
0:09:40 > 0:09:42and if it is, how many of our 100 people said that.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- Five! - APPLAUSE
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Five for Kimi Raikkonen.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Richard.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Another good answer. Well played, Graham.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04He was world champion in 2007, the Finn, Kimi Raikkonen.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13Howard and Hannah looking very, very strong there on nothing.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Great answer there from you, Howard.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Then we go up to five, where we find Graham and Darren,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20up to 13, where we find Jess and Aislinn.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24And then way up to 35, where we find Jeff and Helen.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Quite a high score, there.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Luckily, Helen, I know that you know your Formula 1 backwards(!)
0:10:29 > 0:10:32So I'm hoping that will atone for Jeff's high score.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33Back down the line,
0:10:33 > 0:10:37can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:39 > 0:10:43OK, there we are. We are looking for 2012 Formula 1 drivers.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Now then, Darren.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- OK.- You're on five.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48The high scorers on 35 are Helen and Jeff,
0:10:48 > 0:10:50which means a score of 29 or less
0:10:50 > 0:10:53will see you through to the next round.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55OK. I've got two in my head.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59One of them, I'm not 100% sure about the pronunciation of it,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02so I'm going to go for the safer of the two
0:11:02 > 0:11:04and say Mark Webber.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Mark Webber. There is your red line.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10If you get below that red line, you're through to the next round.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Mark Webber. How many people said that?
0:11:18 > 0:11:19You are through.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- APPLAUSE - 14, very well done.
0:11:21 > 0:11:2414 takes your total up to 19, Darren. Well played.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Mark Webber.- Well done, Darren.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Partner of Sebastian Vettel at Red Bull, scored one point more than him,
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- which is not something you say every day.- No. Interesting.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- Hannah.- I've got two answers in my head,
0:11:38 > 0:11:43but I'm going to go with the safe option and go Jenson Button.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Jenson Button. The high scorers are still Helen and Jeff, 35.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49You want to score 34 or less.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Lewis Hamilton scored 35, let's see what Jenson Button scores
0:11:53 > 0:11:54and how many people said it.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Absolutely right.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Ooh!
0:12:03 > 0:12:04APPLAUSE
0:12:04 > 0:12:0737 for Jenson Button.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13The 2009 world champion. It slightly opens the door for the other two teams
0:12:13 > 0:12:15but might be enough
0:12:15 > 0:12:17to see you through.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Might be enough, but you are, for the time being, the high scorers on 37,
0:12:21 > 0:12:22which means, Helen and Jeff,
0:12:22 > 0:12:23you are on 35.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Helen, you need to score one or less
0:12:25 > 0:12:29with this to avoid becoming the high scorers again.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Remember, we are looking for
0:12:31 > 0:12:322012 Formula 1 drivers.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I might have imagined this,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38but I'm relying on some film knowledge.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40I'm going to say Bruno Senna.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Bruno Senna. - I think he's the nephew of Ayrton.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49I love it when people start their answers with, "I might have imagined this."
0:12:49 > 0:12:50LAUGHTER
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Let's see if Bruno Senna's right and if it is,
0:12:53 > 0:12:55let's see how many people said it. Bruno Senna.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58It's right!
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Look at that! One!
0:13:06 > 0:13:08That's what you needed to score. It's what you did score.
0:13:08 > 0:13:1136, Helen, is your total.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13You are through to round two.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15A heroic answer, if I may say so.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- Thank you.- Bruno Senna.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Absolutely right. The nephew of Ayrton Senna,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22drives for Williams in the 2012 season.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Very, very well played.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Aislinn.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30We come to you. The high scorers are still Hannah and Howard on 37.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33You're on 13, which means a score of 23 or less
0:13:33 > 0:13:35will see you through to the next round.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- How good is your Formula 1 knowledge?- Atrocious.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- Do you know some of the names? - Only ones that have been said.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47When the name of the round was announced, I knew about two or three
0:13:47 > 0:13:49and they've all gone.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54- Um...- OK.- It's going to be making up a name and hoping for the best.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Some of my favourite answers
0:13:56 > 0:14:00have been given under those circumstances.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Right, OK, Aislinn. - I'm going to go with...
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Steven Johnson.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07LAUGHTER
0:14:10 > 0:14:12There's your red line.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18If Steven Johnson gets you below that red line,
0:14:18 > 0:14:19he's a better man than I am.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23OK. Steven Johnson. If he is right, how many people said him?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Oh...
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Bad luck, Aislinn, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32That scores you 100 points
0:14:32 > 0:14:35and, I'm afraid, takes you up to an unbeatable 113.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37- Sorry.- Very unlucky, Aislinn. Bad category for you.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I did go to school with someone called Steven Johnson, though.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- He's a cracking driver, actually. - Steve Johnson?- Yeah.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- He's a Formula 2 world champion. - Yeah, yeah.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Never quite made the leap up.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52I bet there's a name on the list you have heard of. Michael Schumacher.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Oh, I knew that name and I was like, I just gave up with that
0:14:55 > 0:14:57because I thought it would be far too high.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Would have scored you 23 points.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Would have seen you through to the next round.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Before we look at the pointless answers, there's a whole bunch
0:15:04 > 0:15:07of people on one point, so I'll read them out in case you said any.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11There's Maldonado, Perez, Hulkenberg, Kobayashi, De La Rosa, Grosjean.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Very well done if you said any of those,
0:15:13 > 0:15:15but there are three pointless answers.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18We've heard one of them already. Let's take a look at the others.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Daniel Ricciardo, the Australian. He was a pointless answer.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26Driver for Toro Rosso. Narain Karthikeyan, who drives for HRT.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30And the world's most famous Irish racing driver, Tim O'Glock,
0:15:30 > 0:15:33also a pointless answer. LAUGHTER
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Very well done if you got any of those three at home.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Thanks very much, Richard.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39At the end of the first round, the pair who are leaving us,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42the pair with the highest score,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I'm afraid, is Aislinn and Jess.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- Oh, that was bad luck.- Yeah.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I'm kicking myself now.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Michael Schumacher.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Ah, tough. Really tough.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56It's one of those categories, as Richard did say,
0:15:56 > 0:15:57it wouldn't be popular in all quarters.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58I'm afraid yours was
0:15:58 > 0:16:01the quarter where it really, really wasn't popular.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04We'll see you next time and we look forward to it very much.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Aislinn and Jess, thanks for playing.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Great contestants.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22And so you become three pairs. And at the end of this round,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25you will become two pairs in time for the head-to-head.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Now then, that round was incredibly close.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Jeff and Helen, Hannah and Howard, only one point between you.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Howard, we've had two pointless answers from you
0:16:33 > 0:16:36across your Pointless career.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Hannah... Howard's doing quite a lot of correcting work here
0:16:40 > 0:16:42to keep you in the game, so I think this is the round
0:16:42 > 0:16:45where you take some weight off Howard's shoulders.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- I agree.- But on the evidence of that last round, Darren and Graham,
0:16:48 > 0:16:50you would appear to be the pair to beat.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55Best of luck, all three pairs. Our category for the second round is...
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Languages. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first
0:16:59 > 0:17:01and who's going to go second?
0:17:01 > 0:17:05And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11OK, our round two question concerns...
0:17:11 > 0:17:13French words for animals.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17French words for animals, Richard.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20This will take everybody back to their school days, including everybody at home.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23We're going to show you six French words for animals.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26We need the English translation. An obscure answer will score you fewer points,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29but an incorrect answer will score you 100 points.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32There's going to be 12 in all to have a go at at home.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33OK, thanks, Richard.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37So we are looking for the English names for these French animals.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39And we have got...
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Le lapin, la taupe, le chat,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46la vache, le crapaud
0:17:46 > 0:17:49and le cochon.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51LAUGHTER
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I'm going to read those again.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56HE READS OUT ANSWERS
0:18:02 > 0:18:05There we are. Jeff.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Six French words for animals.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11I did my education in Wales, so if they were Welsh...
0:18:12 > 0:18:17- So I'm going to have to...- Did you not... You didn't learn any French?
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Not at all, no, it was English and Welsh.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- HE SIGHS - How good's your Welsh?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- Hopeless.- Oh, really?
0:18:24 > 0:18:25THEY LAUGH
0:18:25 > 0:18:29So I'm going to have to take a guess.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- A guess?- A guess.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Le chat...
0:18:34 > 0:18:35Cat.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39"Lee chat"?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42AUDIENCE LAUGH
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Well, it was French!
0:18:48 > 0:18:52OK. You're going to say cat for le chat. Let see if that's right
0:18:52 > 0:18:55and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said cat.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- 80.- Well...
0:19:01 > 0:19:03APPLAUSE
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- No "chat", Sherlock! - LAUGHTER
0:19:13 > 0:19:17- 80 for cat.- Yes, le chat, cat, absolutely right. It's a big score.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- It's not 100 but... - It's better than 100.- Hannah.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Well, French was my worst subject at school.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28But there's only one answer I think, I'm pretty sure le lapin is rabbit.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Lapin, rabbit, says Hannah.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people knew that lapin was rabbit.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43More like it. 42. Very well done, Hannah.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45APPLAUSE
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Very well played, Hannah, lapin is rabbit.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Beatrix Potter's The Tale Of Peter Rabbit
0:19:53 > 0:19:57- in French is L'Histoire De Pierre Lapin.- Ah yes, Peter The Bread.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Um, Darren. - LAUGHTER
0:20:00 > 0:20:03We are looking for the English translations of French animals.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Now, two that I know have gone. Um...
0:20:07 > 0:20:09You're the last person to have this board.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11You can take us through the board and have some fun.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- Have some fun making up some words. - Making up...
0:20:14 > 0:20:17OK. Pronunciation's not going to be the best here.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20French teacher's probably going to kill me eventually.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I-I have no idea of the other four.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Kind of looking at "la vache", is it?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I don't know. Possibly deer maybe?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31I don't know why, I'm just thinking veal, maybe.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Ah, let's just stick with la vache and let's go deer.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39- Sorry.- OK. And you've come to deer via veal.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Yeah, which obviously sounds very similar.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- They begin with V.- Yeah... - So that was my kind of... Yeah.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49OK, let's see. La vache - deer.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many of our people knew that.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57I'm afraid an incorrect answer, Darren,
0:20:57 > 0:21:00which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01Sorry about that. Richard.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06La vache isn't a deer, and indeed veal isn't deer either.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08But on the plus side, on the plus side,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10lovely to have a lecturer on the show.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Media! Media lecturer, so it's fine.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Let's take a look. You'll be good at these, I suspect. La vache?- Is a cow.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- Is cow, absolutely right. You get cheese...- La vache qui rit.- Yep.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- 32, that would've scored you. Le cochon?- Is pig.- It is pig, yeah.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28It would have scored you 28. Le cochon d'Inde being a guinea pig.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Do you know le crapaud?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33I don't know what a crapaud is, I'm afraid.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37In France you can have le crapaud-in-the-hole.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Ah, toad.- Toad. Absolutely right.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43And the best answer on the board is la taupe. Do you know that?
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- No.- Very well done at home if you said mole.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48La taupe is French for mole.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Very well done anyone who got all six of those, especially.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- Unless, of course, they're French. - LAUGHTER
0:21:55 > 0:21:58We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:58 > 0:21:5942 is our low score from Hannah,
0:21:59 > 0:22:03so Hannah and Howard are looking very strong at this stage.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Up to 80, where we find Jeff and Helen.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07And then up to 100 for Darren and Graham,
0:22:07 > 0:22:11so yes, Graham and Helen, it's going to be between you, I think,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13to decide who stays and who goes at the end of the round.
0:22:13 > 0:22:19We're going back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:19 > 0:22:23OK, we're going to put six more French animals on the board
0:22:23 > 0:22:26and here they come. We have got...
0:22:26 > 0:22:29HE READS OUT ANSWERS IN THICK FRENCH ACCENT
0:22:32 > 0:22:36I just love saying things in French. Have no idea what they mean.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Love saying them.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Remember, we are looking for the English words for these
0:22:47 > 0:22:50French animals and you're trying to find the one that
0:22:50 > 0:22:52the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Graham. Something tells me you're going to be quite good on these.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Something tells you incorrectly.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Really?
0:22:59 > 0:23:03CSE French, 40 years ago. It's a grey area.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- Have you been to France since then now?- Would you?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09LAUGHTER
0:23:09 > 0:23:11APPLAUSE
0:23:12 > 0:23:15You mean you haven't tried crapaud-in-the-hole?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17LAUGHTER
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I've got a couple.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24But I'm going to go for le chien,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26which I do believe is a dog.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Chien, dog, let's see if it's right
0:23:28 > 0:23:31and if it is, let's see how many people said it. Chien - dog.
0:23:35 > 0:23:3760.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39APPLAUSE
0:23:39 > 0:23:4260 for chien - dog.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Takes your total up to 160. Richard.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Well done, Graham, kept yourself in the round. Le chien - dog.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Howard, here's good news. Even if you score 100 points,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53you are through to the head-to-head.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54OK.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56So, bearing that in mind,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59I also think you're going to be quite good on this.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Something tells me you're going to be quite good at this.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04I know...
0:24:04 > 0:24:06three of them.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Do you know which of those three is going to be the most obscure?
0:24:10 > 0:24:11I will try le singe,
0:24:11 > 0:24:15- which is a monkey. - Singe - monkey, says Howard.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Let's see if it's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20It's correct.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- 12. - APPLAUSE
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Very good indeed. Takes your total up to 54.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Well played, Howard. Of course,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Eddie Izzard has a famous routine
0:24:36 > 0:24:39about le singe est dans l'arbre. Have you heard that? The monkey is in the tree.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- It's about the words you learn in French at school.- Very good.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Now then, Helen.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Last time, it fell to you to bail out Jeff.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51This time, it may again. The high scorers at the moment
0:24:51 > 0:24:53on 160 are Graham and Darren.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54You're on 80.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Which means a score of 79 or less will keep you in the game.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01So, we're looking for the English names for these French animals.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Um...
0:25:02 > 0:25:06le dauphin might be dolphin, but I'm guessing that might be quite high,
0:25:06 > 0:25:08so I'll go for l'escargot, snail.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11L'escargot...
0:25:11 > 0:25:12snail. Here is your red line.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Nice and high.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17L'escargot. Snail.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19How many people said it?
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Yep, you're through.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Oh, just!
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- 75. - APPLAUSE
0:25:27 > 0:25:3079 or less you needed, 75 you got,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33you've done it by the skin of your teeth, very well done.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34That takes your total up to 155.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Pretty high score, that, isn't it? But just low enough.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40So, very well played, safely through.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Let's fill in the rest. You're right about le dauphin. It is dolphin.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Would have scored you 36.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48I love dauphinoise potatoes, which is potato mixed with dolphin(!)
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Isn't it(?) Mm!
0:25:50 > 0:25:51- La souris. Anybody?- Mouse.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- It is a mouse, absolutely right. - Or a smile!
0:25:53 > 0:25:56A smile? Is it? That's nice, isn't it?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- It is.- 18 points, that would have scored you and do you know...
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- L'ours - the bear. - Bear, absolutely right.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05It's actually the best answer on the board, nine points.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06Very well done if you got all six of those.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08There we are. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11At the end of round two, the pair with the high score
0:26:11 > 0:26:14who will be leaving us, I'm afraid it's Graham and Darren.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17I said you'd do better than you did last time and you did. Round two.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- LAUGHTER - But this is the end of the line. We have to say goodbye.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23It's been lovely having you on the show.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Thank you both so much for playing. Thank you.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29But for the remaining two pairs, things are about to get
0:26:29 > 0:26:33even more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36APPLAUSE
0:26:38 > 0:26:42Well, congratulations, Hannah and Howard, Jeff and Helen.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45You are now only one round away from the final and a chance to play
0:26:45 > 0:26:49for our jackpot, which currently stands at £1,250.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52APPLAUSE
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Well, you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03The great news is you are now allowed to confer.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Now, neither of the two pairs in front of me now
0:27:05 > 0:27:09have made it this far before, so you are both on virgin territory.
0:27:09 > 0:27:14Also, both teams, I would say, have been helped out by one partner.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Hannah and Jeff, you know who I'm talking to.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22So whereas in the previous rounds, you're as bad as your weakest link,
0:27:22 > 0:27:25from here on in, you are as strong as your strongest link.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28So anything could happen. Very best of luck to both pairs.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31APPLAUSE
0:27:35 > 0:27:37OK, here is your first question.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41And it concerns famous twins.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Famous twins. Richard.- We'll show you five photographs of famous twins.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50All you have to do is give us the surname of those twins, please.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52OK, thanks very much, Richard.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54So, let's reveal our five twins
0:27:54 > 0:27:56and here they come. We have got...
0:28:15 > 0:28:16OK.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18There they are.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Five sets of famous twins.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Hannah and Howard, you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25so you get to go first.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31- (Do you know any of the answers?) - I know D.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33(So let's go for D.)
0:28:33 > 0:28:34OK.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- OK?- We've got our answer. - You have an answer? OK.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39What's it going to be, Hannah and Howard?
0:28:39 > 0:28:43We're going with D, cos I think it'll be a bit more obscure. OK.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- And the surname is Cooper. - Cooper. D.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Cooper.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53Jeff and Helen, you can now do your thinking out loud.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Hmm, well, A's pretty obvious.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58- You can tell us the answers to all of them if you like.- Jedward.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00B, I should know, but I don't.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04Can't remember the Proclaimers' surname.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07But we do know C, which is Goss.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- So we'll go for C, Goss.- C, Goss.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12So, we have D, Cooper,
0:29:12 > 0:29:15and C, Goss. Hannah and Howard said D was Cooper.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Let's see if they're right and if they are,
0:29:18 > 0:29:21let's how many of our people agreed with them.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26- 61. - APPLAUSE
0:29:26 > 0:29:2961 for Cooper.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35Jeff and Helen have said C, Goss.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36C, Goss. Let's see if that's right
0:29:36 > 0:29:41and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people agreed with that.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43It's right.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Oh, and you win it!
0:29:45 > 0:29:48What about that? 39 for Goss.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50APPLAUSE
0:29:53 > 0:29:5539 for Goss, which means, Jeff and Helen,
0:29:55 > 0:29:58after one question, you are up one-nil. Richard.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Well played. Henry Cooper and George Cooper, his brother.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05They were both boxers. And there's the Goss twins, Matt and Luke.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Let's go through the rest of the board. Do you know Jedward's surname?
0:30:08 > 0:30:09Jedward's surname, anyone?
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Edwards.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Jedward Edwards!
0:30:13 > 0:30:18John and Edward. Anyone know Jedward's surname?
0:30:18 > 0:30:21Grimes. A few people knew it and they're quite right.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25It would've scored you 14 points. It would've won the point.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29B. It's the Weasley twins from Harry Potter, of course,
0:30:29 > 0:30:32but they're the Phelps. The Phelps. James and Oliver Phelps.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36Would've scored four points. That's the best answer on the board.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38And E. The mighty Proclaimers.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Wouldn't it be lovely to have them on this?
0:30:40 > 0:30:43- Do you think they might come on? - We should ask them. I love them.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44I love The Proclaimers.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Anyway, they're called the Reids. Craig and Charlie Reid.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Would've scored you nine points.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- Very well done if you got all five/ten of those.- Fantastic.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56OK, thanks very much, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Hannah and Howard, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Very best of luck. Here it comes.
0:31:01 > 0:31:02It concerns...
0:31:04 > 0:31:06AUDIENCE LAUGHTER
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- Richard.- We're going to give you five questions to places,
0:31:11 > 0:31:16people, places or things related to Wales. Can you give us the answer to the most obscure, please?
0:31:16 > 0:31:19OK. Thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five facts about Wales,
0:31:19 > 0:31:20and here they come. We've got...
0:31:29 > 0:31:30I'll read those all one more time.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38Five facts about Wales.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Jeff and Helen, you get to go first this time.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46We could take a chance on the lake, couldn't we?
0:31:46 > 0:31:48(Yeah, because we've got one.)
0:31:48 > 0:31:53Yeah, OK. I think we're going to chance the natural lake,
0:31:53 > 0:31:57- and we think it might be Bala. - Bala, you are saying,
0:31:57 > 0:32:01for the largest natural lake. Bala.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Hannah and Howard, you can talk us through the board if you like.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09The highest mountain is Snowdonia, smallest National Park,
0:32:09 > 0:32:11we think, is the Brecon Beacons.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16Capital city is obviously Cardiff and David is the patron saint.
0:32:16 > 0:32:22The largest natural lake, we would call it Fala, with an F.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26So you're going to enter Fala as your answer
0:32:26 > 0:32:32for the largest natural lake? Fala. We have Bala versus Fala.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36So, Jeff and Helen have said that Wales's largest natural lake
0:32:36 > 0:32:39is called Bala. Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:32:39 > 0:32:41let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44Ah, that's right.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48Oh, that's right.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51That is a great answer. 11 people said it.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59Now, I don't want to pre-empt the column here,
0:32:59 > 0:33:02but I'm going to guess that if that is right,
0:33:02 > 0:33:04then I think Fala probably isn't right.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Let's just double check that and make sure
0:33:06 > 0:33:10that we're not going to disappear into a weird alternative logic here.
0:33:10 > 0:33:17Howard and Hannah have said Fala. Is that right? It can't be.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18No!
0:33:18 > 0:33:23Logic has been restored. Fala, I'm afraid, an incorrect answer.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Bala, a correct answer, which means Jeff and Helen,
0:33:26 > 0:33:29only two questions in and you are sailing through to the final round.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33- Very well done. Two-nil. Richard. - Bala, not Fala. Sorry, Howard.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35We all make mistakes. Everybody's "falabala".
0:33:35 > 0:33:41Let's fill in the rest of the board, shall we? Highest mountain?
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- Snowdonia.- Snowdon. - Oh, Snowdon.- Absolutely.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49It's in the Snowdonia National Park. That would've scored you 48 points.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53Capital city? Cardiff. We've already heard. That would've scored you 91.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Patron saint? As you also said, David.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58It would've also been too many points,
0:33:58 > 0:33:59so that would've scored you 69.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02The smallest National Park would've won the point.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03It's not the Brecon Beacons, though.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07- At one point, it's only 100 metres wide and it's...- Pembrokeshire Coast.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Pembrokeshire Coast. Absolutely right.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13And that would've scored three points. Best answer on the board.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14Ah...
0:34:14 > 0:34:17- Ah...- Ah... And you sort of knew that.
0:34:17 > 0:34:22It wasn't the one you said, but you did sort of know that. Bad luck.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25The losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Hannah and Howard.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27I fear this is where we have to say goodbye.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30It's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33You've done so well. Howard, we've had many pointless answers from you,
0:34:33 > 0:34:36but this is the end of the line.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40Thanks very much for playing. Hannah and Howard, lovely contestants.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44But for Jeff and Helen, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Congratulations, Jeff and Helen.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56You fought off all the competition
0:34:56 > 0:34:58and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:06 > 0:35:09and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:35:15 > 0:35:18If you cast your minds back to the beginning of the show,
0:35:18 > 0:35:20when motor sports first came up,
0:35:20 > 0:35:22and we had Lewis Hamilton from you, Jeff.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25- I can't believe. - Highest score of that pass.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28- Did you ever think in a million years...- Not in a million years.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- And when the French came up, that was even worse.- Oh, yeah.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33We've had "Lee chat" since then.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Then a whitewash in the head-to-head,
0:35:37 > 0:35:40and here you are, deservedly, in the final.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42The rules are very simple.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44To win, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46We've had one pointless answer on the show today.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50You only have to find one more and you can go home with the jackpot.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Firstly, you got to choose a category,
0:35:52 > 0:35:55and you can choose from these five options. They are...
0:36:02 > 0:36:07- Well...- What are you thinking? - Pop divas is a possible.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11- Detective fiction... - No. I haven't read any of that.
0:36:11 > 0:36:16State visits, I have no idea. Celebrities, you're...
0:36:17 > 0:36:20I've got a feeling we should go for racehorses.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Yeah. I think we'll go for racehorses.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26- We'll go for racehorses.- We'll go for racehorses.- Racehorses it is.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30Any particular category of racehorses you quite like?
0:36:30 > 0:36:36We like horseracing, so National Hunt racing would be...
0:36:36 > 0:36:40- Anything to do with National Hunt racing would be OK.- OK.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Let's find out the question.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:36:45 > 0:36:49as many horses that have won the Epsom Derby as they could.
0:36:49 > 0:36:50Richard.
0:36:50 > 0:36:55We're looking for the name of any horse that's won the Epsom Derby since 1970, please.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Very best of luck.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01OK. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:37:01 > 0:37:04and all you need to win that £1,250
0:37:04 > 0:37:06is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- Are you ready?- Ready.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Your time starts now.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16OK, there's Shergar, very famous.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19There was Lammtarra, who was related to him.
0:37:19 > 0:37:26Erthaab, Willie Carson rode that horse. Benny the Dip, High Rise...
0:37:26 > 0:37:29What was that 66-1 winner my mum had?
0:37:29 > 0:37:33That wasn't the Derby, that was the Queen Elizabeth Champion Chase.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35That wasn't even Epsom, yes. That isn't close.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Shall we go, erm...
0:37:38 > 0:37:43I think we should try... No, that might have been 1986. Since 1970.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Right.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49I think we should go Erthaab, Lammtarra...
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- and we'll try High Rise.- OK. - There you go.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56Before we stop the clock, can I just say, blimey.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58LAUGHTER
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- Lecturer.- That's impressive. OK.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04We have hours left on the clock. You've already picked your answers.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08We were looking for horses that have won the Epsom Derby.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12- You could've done that in five seconds.- They might not be right.
0:38:12 > 0:38:17- I might have imagined them.- This is true. I now need your three answers.
0:38:17 > 0:38:22High Rise, Erthaab, Lammtarra.
0:38:22 > 0:38:27Of those three, which do you think is your best shot?
0:38:27 > 0:38:28- Erthaab. - Erthaab, we'll put third.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32I think High Rise is quite recent, so people might remember that.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- So put High Rise first? - And Lammtarra in the middle.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Lammtarra in the middle.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40You even gave us a little bit of pedigree there.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41I might've imagined that,
0:38:41 > 0:38:44but I think Lammtarra was related to Shergar.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47- I think.- OK. Let's pop them up on the board in that order.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49And here they are. We have got...
0:38:54 > 0:38:56We were looking for horses that have won the Epsom Derby.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59High Rise was probably your least confident answer,
0:38:59 > 0:39:05least confident at being pointless, because it's a more recent winner.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Remember, you only have to find one pointless answer
0:39:07 > 0:39:09to win the jackpot of £1,250.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Let's see if High Rise is right,
0:39:11 > 0:39:15and let's see how many of our 100 people said High Rise.
0:39:17 > 0:39:22It's absolutely right. This for £1,250. Down it goes.
0:39:22 > 0:39:28Our first Epsom winner. Down it goes into single figures.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Still going down, still going...
0:39:30 > 0:39:31One! One for High Rise.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33APPLAUSE
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Ooh.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Unfortunately, not a pointless answer.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49I forgot to ask you what you would do with your winnings
0:39:49 > 0:39:52should you win with the next two, either of the next two.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54What would you do? £1,250. Jeff?
0:39:54 > 0:39:58I think we'd go to the Italian Lakes. Have a nice fortnight.
0:39:58 > 0:39:59Very nice indeed.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03- Anything else, Helen?- Erm... A day at the races, probably.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07- I was just thinking. Absolutely. - £1,250 on the nose.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09- Yeah.- Maybe!
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Very good indeed. Very best of luck.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13We're looking for horses that have won the Epsom Derby.
0:40:13 > 0:40:18Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Lammtarra.
0:40:18 > 0:40:19This obviously has to be correct
0:40:19 > 0:40:22and it has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot of £1,250.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Let's see. Is it right? How many people said Lammtarra?
0:40:29 > 0:40:31And they're off.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34OK, High Rise took us all the way down to one.
0:40:34 > 0:40:40Lammtarra, your second shot at that £1,250 jackpot, still going down.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Single figures. Down it goes to one.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Yes! It's pointless!
0:40:45 > 0:40:51Very, very well done. Come here. Very well done.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55Off you go to the Italian Lakes. And a little bit left, I think, for something.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04Ah. Congratulations. Richly, richly deserved.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Lammtarra, pointless answer,
0:41:06 > 0:41:11which means you go home with that jackpot of £1,250.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14APPLAUSE
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Very, very good indeed. Richard.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Very well played.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23It all comes down to Bruno Senna in the end as well.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27Lammtarra won in 1995, ridden by Walter Swinburn,
0:41:27 > 0:41:28who also rode Shergar, of course.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32I have to say, I'm even gladder that Lammtarra was a pointless answer,
0:41:32 > 0:41:36because you said Erthaab.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40ERHAAB was a pointless answer. You'd have been one letter away from a pointless answer then.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44I wouldn't have been able to give it. Very, very well done, Lammtarra.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48There's a bunch of other pointless answers. You said a few of them.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Let's take a look, in case people at home have got some of these.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54The '93 winner, Commander In Chief, that was a pointless answer.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57There's Erhaab, ridden by Willie Carson.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Pat Eddery, of course, rode Golden Fleece, that was in 1982.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02That was a pointless answer.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Henbit was a pointless answer, ridden by Willie Carson.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Quest For Fame, that was another Pat Eddery horse.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11Shahrastani, who was sired by Nijinsky, pointless answer.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Shirley Heights, ridden by Greville Starkey,
0:42:14 > 0:42:18Teenoso, Lester Piggott's final Derby winner, and The Minstrel.
0:42:18 > 0:42:19All of those pointless. There's more.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23Empery, Generous, High Chaparral, Nashwan, Roberto,
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Secreto, Shaamit. Very well done if you said any of those at home,
0:42:26 > 0:42:29and very well done to you two. Terrifically well played.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Thanks, once again, to our winning players, Helen and Jeff,
0:42:34 > 0:42:39who go away with today's jackpot of £1,250. Very well done.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test.
