0:00:21 > 0:00:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31In this quiz the questions have been asked to 100 people before the show
0:00:31 > 0:00:37and our contestants have to come up with answers those people couldn't think of. Let's meet the players.
0:00:39 > 0:00:44Now, first, we welcome Damien and Zac, our first pair on the show.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Damien, I think I know the answer. How do you two know each other?
0:00:48 > 0:00:52We started in the womb and I've never been able to get away from him.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- As you probably guessed, twins. - Not Siamese though.- No.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00- Where are you from, Damien? - Norfolk originally, but now living in Nottingham.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04- How about you, Zac?- Strangely again, living in Norfolk, same as him,
0:01:04 > 0:01:08but I now live in Colchester, so an Essex boy kind of thing.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13- Damien, what are you hoping is going to come up today? - Sport, films, any of the above.
0:01:13 > 0:01:19We both love our strongman competition stuff and things like that. It's all good fun.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23OK, very good. And Zac, anything you're hoping doesn't come up?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26We've got all our knowledge eggs in one basket,
0:01:26 > 0:01:31so anything I don't like such as art and literature, he's going to struggle as well.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36OK. Very, very best of luck. Have we had many identical twins on the show?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- We've had...- We've had twins. - We've had a few.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Are you saying we look alike(?)
0:01:42 > 0:01:47A little bit. Anyway, a very warm welcome to you, Damien and Zac. Great to have you here.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52Next, we welcome Jaime and Sue. How do you two know each other, Sue?
0:01:52 > 0:01:57Well, we met 38 years ago in hospital when he sort of popped out.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00And where are you from, Jaime?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03London originally. I now live in Brighton.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08- How about you, Sue? - I'm from Birmingham originally, but I live in Crawley now.
0:02:08 > 0:02:14- Sue, what do you do?- I'm officially retired, but I do farm-sitting.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Farm-sitting?- Yes.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21- So, house-sitting, but for a few more acres?- For farms, yes.- Wow!
0:02:21 > 0:02:26- Do you ever go for a spin in the tractor?- No, I'm not good in things like that. I tend to crash them.
0:02:28 > 0:02:35- So you wander round the acres... - Yes, looking after sheep, pigs, cattle, goats, horses.- Amazing.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- What's your favourite breed of cow? - White Park.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- Oh, the White Park.- Yes.- Lovely.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- I love a White Park, do you? - Don't you?- Absolutely delicious.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49They are, actually.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54- Jaime, what do you do? - I'm a full-time house-husband, four kids.- Wow, four kids!
0:02:54 > 0:02:57In my spare time, I make house music.
0:02:57 > 0:03:03- A house-husband making house music? - Yes.- That's appropriate. Well, a warm welcome to the pair of you.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07We welcome back Ema and Charlie who were on the show last time.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final. Ema, remind us how you know each other.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17We met when we were 15. We did a play together. We were in a play together.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22Then we directed a play together last year and became really good friends.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Now, Charlie, remind us what happened last time.
0:03:25 > 0:03:32We managed to get to the head-to-head, but we kind of came unstuck with Muhammad Ali.
0:03:32 > 0:03:38You covered yourselves in glory. We had a pointless answer, consistent low scoring from you, Charlie.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Ema, what are you hoping is going to come up today?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45To be honest, I don't actually have any strong subjects.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52I don't know. Just something really obscure and I'm like, "Oh, my God, yeah, I know that!"
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- LAUGHTER - OK.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- Anything you really don't want to come up?- So much, so much.- OK.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Are you glad you're here?
0:04:01 > 0:04:07- You do know what's going to happen, Ema?- I'm really excited. It's just I'm not very clever.
0:04:07 > 0:04:13OK, you did so well last time. Very, very best of luck. Great to have you back on the show.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Finally, we've got Gemma and Helen. How do you know each other, Gemma?
0:04:17 > 0:04:21We met back in school, then we worked together in our part-time jobs
0:04:21 > 0:04:24and lived together throughout university.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- Where are you from, Helen? - We're from Newry in County Down.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- What do you do, Helen?- I'm a student. I'm studying Medicine.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- And Gemma...?- I'm a student also. I'm studying Architecture.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- What year are you in?- We're... - We're...- Sorry. We're in third year.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Is it your final year? Or another year to go after that?
0:04:44 > 0:04:50- I have another two to go. - Another two.- I have another four altogether.- Wow, wow!
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- What are your hobbies, Helen? - We don't have any hobbies.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Don't you worry. It's great having you on the show. Very best of luck.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08There's only one person left for me to introduce. If he were a king, he'd be Richard the Obscure,
0:05:08 > 0:05:15- wowing his subjects with his wisdom. It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya. Hello.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- Good afternoon.- Good afternoon. - We've only got one returning pair,
0:05:21 > 0:05:25but they made quite an impression last time. They were very good.
0:05:25 > 0:05:31- Charlie particularly smart, Ema hiding her light under a bushel thus far.- That's my tactic.
0:05:31 > 0:05:37It's one of those shows where we've got literature, music, all sorts of high culture and low culture.
0:05:37 > 0:05:44- It should be an absolute cracker, but I think Charlie and Ema will be the pair to beat.- Thanks, Richard.
0:05:44 > 0:05:50All our questions were put to 100 people before the show. To reach the final and try to win our jackpot,
0:05:50 > 0:05:54our contestants need to find obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59The fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer, the fewer points you will score.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Everyone is trying to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people knew.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08Each time that happens, we add £250 to the jackpot. Nobody won the jackpot last time,
0:06:08 > 0:06:13so we add another £1,000 to that and today's jackpot starts off at £4,250.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15APPLAUSE
0:06:18 > 0:06:21If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29In this first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:06:29 > 0:06:35The pair with the highest score at the end of the round is eliminated, so make sure that is not you.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37OK, our first category today is...
0:06:39 > 0:06:44Pop Music. Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51OK, and the question concerns...
0:06:54 > 0:06:59- Richard?- On each pass, we'll show you seven songs with colours in their titles.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04Tell us the band or the artist who first had a Top 40 hit with any of these songs.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09A nice, obscure answer will score fewer points. An incorrect answer will be 100 points.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13There will be 14 colourful songs in all to have a go at at home.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Thank you. Damien and Zac, you all drew lots before the show and, today, you are going to go first.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23We're looking for the artists who first had a UK Top 40 hit with these songs. We have got...
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I'll read them one last time.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45There we are, seven colourful singles.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49You have to find the most obscure one there and give us the answer,
0:07:49 > 0:07:53the artist who had the first UK Top 40 hit with it. Damien?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58I'm going to have to go for, um...
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- True Blue, Madonna. - True Blue, Madonna, says Damien.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Let's see if it's right and how many people knew that answer.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10It is right.
0:08:13 > 0:08:1531.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17APPLAUSE
0:08:20 > 0:08:25Yeah, perfectly solid start, Damien. True Blue by Madonna comes from the album of the same name.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28It sold nearly 20 million copies.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32"Your heart fits me like a glove" is one of the lyrics from that song.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- Oh, right.- That's not good, your heart fitting someone like a glove?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40That's like "your skin fits me like a hat"!
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- I don't think so.- No.- "Your liver fits me like a shoe." Oh!
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Jeez, Madonna!
0:08:48 > 0:08:54Sue, we're looking for the artists who had Top 40 singles in the UK with these songs.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55Um...
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I know two for definite.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01But there's one I'm going to take a chance on
0:09:01 > 0:09:06and say Silver Lady... David Soul?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09David Soul says Sue for Silver Lady.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- David Soul. Jaime? - I wouldn't have gone for that one.
0:09:13 > 0:09:19- How do you know your mother's not brilliantly right?- I don't.- Or is that your face of appreciation?
0:09:19 > 0:09:24OK, Silver Lady, David Soul, says Sue. Let's see if that is brilliantly right
0:09:24 > 0:09:27and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30It's absolutely right, Sue.
0:09:34 > 0:09:3524.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- Great answer, great score. - APPLAUSE
0:09:39 > 0:09:43I can't believe they had so little faith in you, Sue.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48- I know.- Absolutely Silver Lady by David Soul.- I could only think of Starsky, you see.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- He was Hutch, wasn't he, David Soul? - Oh, was he?- That's OK.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- He was one out of Starsky and Hutch.- Nearly right.
0:09:55 > 0:10:00You don't remember Silver Lady? Great song. That's a proper guilty pleasure song.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Anyway, Ema, we're looking for the artists who recorded these songs.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- Oh...- Ema, this is good for you. - This is not good for me.- Isn't it?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11No, I'm just toying...
0:10:13 > 0:10:15I don't know any of them.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I'm going to guess one and it's not right.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21I'm going to go Violet Hill,
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Coldplay.
0:10:23 > 0:10:29You did this last time in Round One. Let's see. Coldplay, says Ema, for Violet Hill.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Shall we see if it's right?
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- Absolutely right, Ema. - No way! Oh, my God!
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Absolutely right.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41And it scores 8.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- APPLAUSE - Yes, yes.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Just about the best score so far.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- You knew that.- No, I had no idea!
0:10:50 > 0:10:55I think I had an idea, but I thought, "That's so embarrassing if it's not them."
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Cos I... Yeah.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- She knew that. Don't you think? - Yeah, I think so.
0:11:00 > 0:11:06It was free for download off their website and two million people downloaded it in a week.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Good song.- Good band. Do you like Coldplay, Ema?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Y-Yes.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15LAUGHTER
0:11:15 > 0:11:21It's hard when you're 18 and people ask if you like something. "A, do I like it? B, can I admit I like it?"
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- No, I do. I do. I don't care. I do.- There you go.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30- See? That's someone grown up right there.- There you are.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Now then, Helen. You're the last person to have this board,
0:11:33 > 0:11:36so you can take us through it if you like.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40The only one I knew was Violet Hill, Coldplay.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42I've no idea of the rest.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47I'm just going to give an actual punt and go for The Lady In Red
0:11:47 > 0:11:49by Police.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51OK, The Lady In Red by The Police.
0:11:51 > 0:11:57Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 knew that answer.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Bad luck.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, so you score 100 points.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09But I envy you an existence unsullied by The Lady In Red!
0:12:09 > 0:12:11LAUGHTER
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- You've never heard it?- No.- You see, that's why you look so young.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Life has beaten you down yet.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22It's actually by Chris de Burgh, The Lady In Red.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24It's a big scorer though, 68 points.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28There's a much bigger scorer, one of the greatest songs ever written,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Elton John. 69 points.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36- If you don't know that song, download it immediately. Fade To Grey, do you know that?- Visage.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Absolutely right. Would have scored 22.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43And the best answer on the board is Pink Cadillac, Natalie Cole.
0:12:43 > 0:12:466 points. Very well done if you got all seven of those.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Thanks, Richard. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:12:50 > 0:12:57The best score of the pass was yours, Ema. Fabulous answer with Coldplay, Violet Hill, scoring 8.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Then we travel up to 24 where we find Sue and Jaime,
0:13:00 > 0:13:06up to 31 where we find Damien and Zac, then I'm afraid up to 100 where we find Helen and Gemma.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Gemma, you get first pick of the next board,
0:13:08 > 0:13:12so pick a really low-scoring answer and maybe it will see you through.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:13:18 > 0:13:23OK, we're going to put seven more songs on the board. We have got...
0:13:33 > 0:13:35I'll read those all one last time.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47We're looking for the artist who had Top 40 singles in the UK with these songs.
0:13:47 > 0:13:53Gemma, you'll try and find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew and it really has to be the fewest.
0:13:53 > 0:14:00I think this board is a bit better than the last one, but I'm going for Fields Of Gold and Eva Cassidy.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05Eva Cassidy, Fields Of Gold. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09There's no red line because you are the high scorers.
0:14:11 > 0:14:18Bad luck, Gemma. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer which means you score the maximum of 100 points,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21taking your total up to an unbeatable 200. I'm sorry.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Eva Cassidy did do a cover version, but not the original and it wasn't a hit.
0:14:25 > 0:14:31- I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.- Charlie, you are through to the next round.
0:14:31 > 0:14:37- Didn't Ema do well? - She's absolutely brilliant. She's a bit of a trickster, a dark horse.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- I always thought she was.- Yeah, I think so.- I know a few of them.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45But I think I'm going to go for White Flag
0:14:45 > 0:14:47and Dido.
0:14:47 > 0:14:52Dido, says Charlie for White Flag. Let's see how many people said Dido for White Flag.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Absolutely right.
0:14:58 > 0:15:0027.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03APPLAUSE
0:15:03 > 0:15:0627 takes your total up to 35.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08He's rock-solid, Charlie.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13The 2004 award for Best British Single at the Brits, White Flag by Dido.
0:15:13 > 0:15:19Jaime, you are also through to the next round. You won't overtake the high score of Gemma and Helen.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24We're looking for the artists who recorded these songs. What are you going to say?
0:15:24 > 0:15:29I know two of them. I'm just going to take a punt and say Orange Crush, B*Witched.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34Orange Crush, B*Witched, says Jaime. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:15:38 > 0:15:44Bad luck. Doesn't matter. It scores you 100 points and takes your total up to 124, but you're still through.
0:15:44 > 0:15:50- Zac, it doesn't matter what you say. - Would you like me to clear up the board?- I'd be delighted if you did.
0:15:50 > 0:15:57Don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, Yellow Submarine taken as granted I would say The Beatles,
0:15:57 > 0:16:01but I'll take a punt at Blue Velvet as Bobby Vinton or Vince...
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Bobby Vincent.
0:16:05 > 0:16:10- Bobby Vincent?- Something like that. - Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many said Bobby Vincent.
0:16:12 > 0:16:18Bad luck, Zac. An incorrect answer scores you 100 points and takes your total up to 131, but you're through.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- Richard?- You did the right thing, Zac, going for an obscure one.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27Before you settled on Vincent, you stumbled across his name. It's Bobby Vinton.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32It would have scored 8 points. Let's go through some of the wrong answers we've had.
0:16:32 > 0:16:38Fields Of Gold is by Sting. Helen said The Police with the previous answer. That would have scored 34.
0:16:38 > 0:16:44And Orange Crush, not by B*Witched. I'm not sure if they've done a cover version. It's by REM.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46It would have scored 11 points.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Yellow Submarine, obviously by The Beatles, but a big scorer - 93.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55Green, Green Grass Of Home, that's Tom Jones. Would have scored 68.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- The best answer is Black Coffee. Any ideas with that?- No.
0:16:59 > 0:17:033 points to anyone who said All Saints. Terrific answer.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08Thanks, Richard. At the end of our first round, the pair who are leaving us, it's Gemma and Helen.
0:17:08 > 0:17:14But well done with not knowing about Lady In Red. That is something marvellous.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19Truly marvellous. I'm afraid from now on, you are going to hear that song a lot.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21# The lady in red... #
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Ah!
0:17:24 > 0:17:27# Is dancing with me
0:17:28 > 0:17:30# Cheek to cheek
0:17:30 > 0:17:33# There's nobody here... #
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- I think that's enough.- Oh, man, I tell you what, I love The Police!
0:17:38 > 0:17:41LAUGHTER
0:17:41 > 0:17:47Gemma and Helen, we'll see you again next time. Thank you very much for playing. Great contestants.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04So, sadly, another pair is going to be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Our category for Round Two is...
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Spy Fiction. Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and second?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:18:18 > 0:18:25to name as many of Ian Fleming's Bond novels and short stories as they could. Richard?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29We're looking for the title of any novel or short story by Ian Fleming
0:18:29 > 0:18:32which featured the character James Bond.
0:18:32 > 0:18:38If they appeared in a collection, we want the name of the individual short story, not the collection.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42So any novel or short story with James Bond. Best of luck.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46OK, thanks very much indeed. Damien...
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Oh, it's a bit of a mental wrestling contest, this.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55There's so many options and which is the most obscure?
0:18:55 > 0:18:59I think I'm going to just shoot for Moonraker.
0:18:59 > 0:19:05Moonraker, says Damien. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said Moonraker.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08It's right.
0:19:11 > 0:19:1325.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16APPLAUSE
0:19:17 > 0:19:21The original title in America was Too Hot To Handle.
0:19:21 > 0:19:27The closing credits of the movie say it was shot on location in Brazil, Guatemala, USA and Outer Space.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32- But it wasn't.- Brilliant. - They didn't go to Guatemala(!) - LAUGHTER
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Jaime...?
0:19:34 > 0:19:40I don't know whether to take a risk on one I know is a film, but not necessarily a book.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Yeah, I'm going to go for A View To A Kill.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said A View To A Kill.
0:19:50 > 0:19:56Bad luck, Jaime. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer. That scores you 100 points. Richard?
0:19:56 > 0:20:01Sorry, Jaime, that's tough luck. Not the title of an Ian Fleming novel, I'm afraid.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Now then, Ema...
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Um...
0:20:05 > 0:20:09I'm just going to... I know Bond movies.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15And I'll say the first one that I can think of which is Thunderball.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20Thunderball - let's see if that's right and how many people said that if it is right.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22It is right.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Very well done. 19, Ema.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30The lowest score of the pass.
0:20:32 > 0:20:38Yeah, another good answer, Ema. The book was published in 1961 and the film came out in '65.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42We're halfway through the round. Let's look at our scores.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Ema and Charlie look strong on 19, then up to 25 for Damien and Zac,
0:20:46 > 0:20:49then up to 100 where we find Jaime and Sue.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Sue, you're a long way ahead, but if you know a brilliant answer
0:20:53 > 0:20:57for the next pass, maybe it'll keep you in the game.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:21:03 > 0:21:09OK, Charlie, we're looking for any Bond novel or short story written by Ian Fleming.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13OK, this is a specialist subject of mine, I hope,
0:21:13 > 0:21:17and I think I'm going to say For Your Eyes Only.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22For Your Eyes Only, says Charlie. The high scorers are Sue and Jaime on 100. You're on 19.
0:21:22 > 0:21:28A score of 80 or less will keep you in the game. If you get below the red line, you're in the next round.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32For Your Eyes Only, is it right, how many people said it?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Absolutely right and you're through.
0:21:39 > 0:21:424.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- APPLAUSE - Very well done, Charlie.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46It takes your total up to 23.
0:21:48 > 0:21:54Well done, Charlie. For Your Eyes Only is one of Fleming's short stories actually featuring Bond.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59Sue, you're the high scorers on 100. We need a really low score from you.
0:21:59 > 0:22:05I don't know whether the one I'm thinking of is a book, but I'll try The Living Daylights.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09The Living Daylights, says Sue. Let's see if that's right.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13It's absolutely right.
0:22:17 > 0:22:193, Sue.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- APPLAUSE - Best score of the round.
0:22:22 > 0:22:263 for The Living Daylights. Takes your total up to 103.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Great answer, Sue. Another short story by Fleming.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33It just provides the very first scene of the film, The Living Daylights.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38Now then, Zac, the high scorers are Sue and Jaime on 103. You're on 25.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43If you can score 77 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47So we want any of Ian Fleming's Bond novels or short stories.
0:22:47 > 0:22:55It basically boils down to - is one of these movies a book or not? There's plenty of movies in my head.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57I'm going to go for Goldfinger.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Goldfinger, says Zac. Here is your red line.
0:23:00 > 0:23:06If you get below that, you are in the head-to-head. Is it right, how many people said Goldfinger?
0:23:08 > 0:23:09It is right.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13And you are through to the head-to-head. 61, though.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Good enough. It takes your total up to 86.
0:23:17 > 0:23:24Well done, Zac. Played it fairly safe, but got yourself through. Published in 1959, Goldfinger.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28The unluckiest person here is Jaime. You said A View To A Kill.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33It's actually based on a Fleming short story, From A View To A Kill.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38So just one word out and it would have scored only 1 point. That would have been a terrific answer.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43That's very unlucky. There are three pointless answers. They are all short stories.
0:23:44 > 0:23:50The first one is 007 In New York where 007 goes to New York.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52LAUGHTER
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Risico, which forms part of the plot for For Your Eyes Only.
0:23:56 > 0:24:02The Hildebrand Rarity forms part of the plot for Licence To Kill, which is not an Ian Fleming novel.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07Other low scorers, The Property Of A Lady, From A View To A Kill and Living Daylights with 3.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12Let's take a look at the top answers which most of our 100 people said.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16The most well known are Casino Royale on 42...
0:24:17 > 0:24:20..Dr No on 45, so Zac can tell you what the top one is.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- It's Goldfinger with 61 at the top of the pile.- Thanks, Richard.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29So, at the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score, Sue and Jaime.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34- Bad luck.- Can I hit him now? - I should hit him now and later.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Sue, he was very unlucky. He was one word away from a very good answer.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42- Never mind. - Brilliant low score from you, Sue.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47- Jaime, yes, you were one word out from being very good indeed. - The story of my life.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- Really?- Yeah.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52On the next show, tell us all about that.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Meanwhile, Sue and Jaime, lovely having you on the show.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- We'll see you again next time and we look forward to that.- Thank you.
0:25:01 > 0:25:07But for the remaining two pairs, things get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:25:10 > 0:25:16Congratulations, Ema and Charlie, Damien and Zac. You are only one round away from our final
0:25:16 > 0:25:21and a chance to win the jackpot which currently stands at £4,250.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23APPLAUSE
0:25:24 > 0:25:27You will now go head-to-head and the first pair
0:25:27 > 0:25:33to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot, but you are now allowed to confer.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38- Ema and Charlie, you've been here before.- Hopefully, this time, we'll go one step further
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- and go for the trophy maybe.- Yeah.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46That's reckoning without Damien and Zac who can now pool their resources.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- Yeah, hopefully, we'll do quite well.- Let's hope so.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53APPLAUSE
0:25:55 > 0:25:57OK, here comes your first question
0:25:57 > 0:25:59and it concerns...
0:26:03 > 0:26:10- Richard?- We'll show you five pictures of people who have won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
0:26:10 > 0:26:16Tell us which sport these people won that award for. Can you pick the most obscure of the five? Good luck.
0:26:16 > 0:26:22Thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five BBC Sports Personalities of the Year. We have got...
0:26:38 > 0:26:44So there we are. Ema and Charlie, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you go first.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47WHISPERING
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- OK.- OK?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55We're going to go for B, snooker.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58OK, B, snooker, say Ema and Charlie. B, snooker.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Damien and Zac?
0:27:00 > 0:27:02We'd considered that one ourselves.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06You can talk us through the whole board if you like.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11A, we have an idea, but it feels like too large a gamble.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- Stirling Moss. - Stirling Moss, motor racing.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Michael Owen is football,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Greg Rusedski is tennis and Nick Faldo is obviously golf.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22I think golf being obscure maybe?
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- Possibly.- Well, obscure-ish.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Yeah, go for E? - We'll go for E, golf.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32OK, E, golf, say Damien and Zac.
0:27:32 > 0:27:38Ema and Charlie said snooker for B. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our 100 said it.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Absolutely right. 48, though.
0:27:49 > 0:27:56Damien and Zac have said E, golf. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our 100 said golf.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00It's right.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06Yeah, very well done. That pips it, 28 for golf. Good enough.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11So, Damien and Zac, after one question, you are up 1-0. Richard?
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Yes, Steve Davis there with snooker is the biggest answer on the board,
0:28:15 > 0:28:18so golf and everything else beat it.
0:28:18 > 0:28:23You were right about A. It was Stirling Moss and motor racing. It would have scored 18 points.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28C, you were right again, Michael Owen, football. That would have only scored 39.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31And D, Greg Rusedski, tennis.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Another fairly low score - 24.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Thanks very much. Here comes your second question.
0:28:37 > 0:28:43This is the one, Ema, you and Charlie have to win to stay in the game. It concerns...
0:28:44 > 0:28:50- Richard?- We'll give you five sets of initials now and dates which represent a famous war in history.
0:28:50 > 0:28:56Can you tell us what these initials stand for? In each case, the W stands for War or Wars.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00OK, let's reveal our five wars. Here they come. We have got...
0:29:21 > 0:29:23I'll read those one last time.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42There we are. Now then, Damien and Zac, you go first this time.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45WHISPERING
0:29:46 > 0:29:48We're not gloriously confident.
0:29:48 > 0:29:54Yeah, I think we're going to try CW, the Crimean War.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57OK, Crimean War, say Damien and Zac.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Crimean War there, 1853 to 1856.
0:30:00 > 0:30:07Now, Ema and Charlie, you can talk us through the rest of the board. Do your thinking out loud.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Well, I think SCW is Spanish Civil War
0:30:10 > 0:30:15and VW is Vietnam War.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18But I think we will go for...
0:30:18 > 0:30:23TYW, which is the Thirty Years' War.
0:30:23 > 0:30:30OK, TYW, the Thirty Years' War. So we have the Crimean War versus the Thirty Years' War.
0:30:30 > 0:30:36Damien and Zac have said Crimean War. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Absolutely right.
0:30:41 > 0:30:4430.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- APPLAUSE - 30 for the Crimean.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50Ema and Charlie have gone for the Thirty Years' War.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Absolutely right.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04Yeah, you've done it. 18, very well done.
0:31:04 > 0:31:09Ema and Charlie, you've done it. You're back in the game. After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:09 > 0:31:14VW was Vietnam War, but you did well to avoid it because it would have scored 62 points.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18Spanish Civil War, if you'd said that, you would have won the point
0:31:18 > 0:31:20because that only scored 22.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23And SDW is the best answer on the board.
0:31:23 > 0:31:28That's the Arab-Israeli Six Day War and would have scored 7 points, so well done if you said that.
0:31:28 > 0:31:34Thanks, Richard. Here is your third question which will decide who goes through to the final.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Best of luck, both pairs. It concerns...
0:31:39 > 0:31:44- Richard?- For this decisive point, we're going to show you five questions about San Francisco.
0:31:44 > 0:31:50The pair who picks the most obscure answer is going to go through to the final.
0:31:50 > 0:31:55Let's reveal our five questions about San Francisco and here they come. We have got...
0:32:13 > 0:32:16I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:32 > 0:32:38There we are, five clues to facts about San Francisco. Ema and Charlie, you go first.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41WHISPERING
0:32:44 > 0:32:52OK, we're going to go for the bridge with the red-orange tint completed in 1937 as the Golden Gate Bridge.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55OK, the Golden Gate Bridge, say Ema and Charlie.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Damien and Zac, what are you thinking?
0:32:58 > 0:33:04We've struggled over the whole board, really, apart from what we think is one obvious answer.
0:33:04 > 0:33:09Which is the famous prison, Alcatraz, which is going to have to be our answer.
0:33:09 > 0:33:16OK, Alcatraz. So, Ema and Charlie have said the Golden Gate Bridge, Damien and Zac have said Alcatraz.
0:33:16 > 0:33:21Golden Gate Bridge, Ema and Charlie, is it right, how many people said it?
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Absolutely right.
0:33:24 > 0:33:2759.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34OK, 59 is what you score for Golden Gate.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Damien and Zac have gone for Alcatraz.
0:33:37 > 0:33:43Whoever wins this plays for the jackpot. Alcatraz, is it right, how many people said it?
0:33:44 > 0:33:46It's right. Will it beat 59?
0:33:46 > 0:33:47Oh!
0:33:47 > 0:33:4974.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51APPLAUSE
0:33:51 > 0:33:58Which means, very well done, Ema and Charlie. After three questions, you are through to the final 2-1.
0:33:58 > 0:34:04- Yeah, the two biggest answers. Were you tempted to go for the century the cable cars were installed?- 18th?
0:34:04 > 0:34:09- It was the 19th actually. - I was thinking 19th, so we would have had an argument!
0:34:09 > 0:34:13It would have scored 24 points and seen you into the final.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17The baseball team, the World Series winners - the San Francisco Giants.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20That would have scored you 6 points.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23The top one is pointless - the name before San Francisco was adopted.
0:34:23 > 0:34:29Anybody at home who said Yerba Buena, pointless answer, very, very well done. Yerba Buena.
0:34:29 > 0:34:35- What a shame!- You think it's a better name?- Much better. - San Francisco is quite a good name.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39- There are far too few cities beginning with a Y.- Do you think?
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- Yeovil and Yerba Buena. - Yeovil's not a city.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Yerevan, the capital of Armenia.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Wow!
0:34:48 > 0:34:53Thanks, Richard. So, our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, it's Damien and Zac.
0:34:53 > 0:34:59Nothing wrong, I can't fault you at all. You were just beaten by Ema and Charlie when it came down to it.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01We'll see you again next time.
0:35:01 > 0:35:06- Meanwhile, thanks very much for playing - Damien and Zac! - Thank you very much.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12For Ema and Charlie, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21Congratulations, Ema and Charlie. You have fought off the competition
0:35:21 > 0:35:25and won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:35:30 > 0:35:36You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and at the end of today's show, it stands at £4,250.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38APPLAUSE
0:35:40 > 0:35:44Well, it was head-to-head last time and through to the final this time,
0:35:44 > 0:35:48an exemplary performance, it has to be said.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50I honestly can't believe it.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54- And real teamwork.- I actually got some of them in the head-to-head.
0:35:54 > 0:35:59- You got the answers in both head-to-heads.- You got Amsterdam last time.- Yeah.- We had...
0:35:59 > 0:36:05- Thunderball, yeah. - Thunderball. There we are. And For Your Eyes Only.- Yeah.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08- Only 4 for that. It's been great. - Really good.
0:36:08 > 0:36:14The rules are very simple. All you have to do to win that money is to find a pointless answer.
0:36:14 > 0:36:20We haven't had any pointless answers today. You only have to find one now to go home with that £4,250 jackpot.
0:36:20 > 0:36:25First, you've got to choose a category. This is the hard bit. You have five choices. Good luck.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37OK, not 20th... Actually, are you good at Dramatists?
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- We're Drama students. - I'm absolutely terrible.
0:36:40 > 0:36:45LAUGHTER I'm doing Drama at university, so I hope they don't see this.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- What do you think?- Not Works of Art. - What's best for you?
0:36:50 > 0:36:53I mean, probably World Leaders.
0:36:53 > 0:36:58- There are so many vague answers out there.- Do you want to do World Leaders?- Yeah.
0:36:58 > 0:37:03- We've already got a trophy. - We've got a trophy. We're going to go for World Leaders.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:37:06 > 0:37:13We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...as many Prime Ministers of Canada since 1900. Richard?
0:37:13 > 0:37:17Yeah, I've had this category up my sleeve for some time, I'm afraid.
0:37:17 > 0:37:24We're looking for the name of any Prime Minister of Canada from 1900 to the beginning of 2012, please.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Very best of luck. We need first names and surnames.
0:37:27 > 0:37:34OK, you have up to one minute to come up with three answers and all you need to win that £4,250
0:37:34 > 0:37:36is for one answer to be pointless.
0:37:36 > 0:37:41- Are you ready?- Yeah.- Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46- I don't know any.- Oh, my God!
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- Canada?- Yeah.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52OK, so Canada... Let's think. Not American Presidents.
0:37:52 > 0:37:58- No, Prime Ministers.- They're Prime Ministers.- Think of Canadian names. - Canadian names...
0:37:58 > 0:38:00We've got to give three answers.
0:38:00 > 0:38:05- And the time is going. - You don't know any? Charlie, you do know.- I don't know any.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08I've never been. No-one knows about Canada.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12- LAUGHTER I really like Canada. - Yeah, it's nice.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Let's just say Robert Jones.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17No, that's Welsh. LAUGHTER
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- OK...- Charlie, think.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Let's say something Frenchy.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24French. Oh, let's say...
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Jacques...
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- ..Jones.- OK, Jacques Jones. LAUGHTER
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- Regine...- Richard...- Ten seconds.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36- Richard Pointless.- Brown.
0:38:36 > 0:38:41- Regine Canada.- Thomas.- Let's do Regine because that's a French name. Regine Thomas.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42OK.
0:38:42 > 0:38:47OK, there we are, you'll be very pleased to hear your time is up.
0:38:47 > 0:38:52- Yeah.- We're looking for Prime Ministers of Canada since 1900.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54I now need your three answers.
0:38:54 > 0:38:59- We're going to go for Regine Thomas. - Regine Thomas, good.- Yeah.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Jack Jones, or Jacques.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- Jacques Jones.- Jacques. - Jacques Jones.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- And...- Who did we say?
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Brian...Fellowes.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14Of those three, do you want to put one as your most likely?
0:39:14 > 0:39:18- I think Jacques is the most likely. - We'll put Jacques Jones last.
0:39:18 > 0:39:23- Shall we put Regine first? - Yeah, because we're not quite sure on that one(!)
0:39:23 > 0:39:29- It might have been earlier than 1900. - That's the thing.- Let's put this up on the board in that order.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31And here they are.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33- Regine Thomas.- Oh, my God!
0:39:33 > 0:39:38Brian Fellowes... I'm glad they spelt that correctly with the E!
0:39:38 > 0:39:40And Jacques Jones.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44We're looking for Prime Ministers of Canada since 1900.
0:39:44 > 0:39:49- Regine Thomas, you thought this was your least likely answer to be right.- Yeah, least likely.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52It might be pointless or maybe about 20?
0:39:52 > 0:39:58Listen, you only have to find one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £4,250.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Let's see how many people said Regine Thomas. Good luck.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Bad luck. Unfortunately, not a pointless answer.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Brian Fellowes, I think, is going to be very well known, as you said.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17Jacques Jones, though, what if that were...pointless
0:40:17 > 0:40:20and you won £4,250?
0:40:20 > 0:40:25- Ema, what would you do with that? - We would go to Canada. Definitely.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27- We'd meet Jacques.- We'd meet him.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31Two more chances to win the jackpot. Your next answer is Brian Fellowes.
0:40:31 > 0:40:36Let's see, is it right, how many people said it? This for £4,250. Good luck.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Good luck, I say!
0:40:42 > 0:40:46There we are, only one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51Everything, as ever, riding on Jacques Jones. There he is, Jacques Jones.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54For the jackpot of £4,250, this has to be right and pointless.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58Jacques Jones, is it right, how many people said it?
0:41:00 > 0:41:02No. Bad luck.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04APPLAUSE
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Well...
0:41:08 > 0:41:12- Unfortunately, you had a pig of a category...- We did.
0:41:12 > 0:41:17And for all sorts of understandable reasons, you couldn't find a pointless answer.
0:41:17 > 0:41:23You don't win today's jackpot, but you still take home the Pointless trophy. Very well done for that.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26- That was richly deserved. - APPLAUSE
0:41:28 > 0:41:32Yeah, I'm going to say the toughest category ever.
0:41:32 > 0:41:37- Thank you. - Unless you're actually from Canada. - Even if you are from Canada.
0:41:37 > 0:41:43Looking at the pointless answers, even if you are from Canada, it might have been quite tricky.
0:41:43 > 0:41:49Let's take a look at the three pointless answers. You'll kick yourself when you see them(!)
0:41:49 > 0:41:54John Diefenbaker, the Progressive Conservative Prime Minister from '57 to '63.
0:41:54 > 0:41:59- Famously beat Brian Fellowes in the election that year(!) - LAUGHTER
0:41:59 > 0:42:03Louis St Laurent was the Prime Minister before Diefenbaker.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07- And Richard Bennett - that's the sort of name you could've guessed.- Yeah.
0:42:07 > 0:42:14Anyone who is not Canadian and got one of those at home, I think maybe a doping inquiry is needed.
0:42:14 > 0:42:19- Don't you think?- Yes. - We'll send the IOC round to anyone's house who got one of those.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you, Ema and Charlie.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- It's been brilliant having you on the show.- Thank you.
0:42:26 > 0:42:33You've been great entertainment and really good contestants. Thanks so much for playing. Ema and Charlie!
0:42:35 > 0:42:39Ema and Charlie didn't win our jackpot today, so it rolls over on to the next show
0:42:39 > 0:42:42when we'll be playing for £5,250.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44APPLAUSE
0:42:44 > 0:42:50- Join us then to see if someone can win it. It's goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me!
