0:00:21 > 0:00:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29This is the quiz show where questions are asked
0:00:29 > 0:00:32to 100 people before the show and all our contestants have to do
0:00:32 > 0:00:35is come up with the answers those 100 people couldn't think of.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36Let's meet today's players.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Now, first up we welcome back Sophie and Jess.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46You were on the show last time. Everyone gets two chances
0:00:46 > 0:00:47to reach the Pointless final.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49This is your second and final chance.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Sophie, remind us how you know each other.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53We go to university together and we live in the same halls.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55And, Jess, what happened last time?
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Um, so the question was Stock, Aitken and Waterman singles
0:00:58 > 0:01:01so that was a little bit before our time
0:01:01 > 0:01:02and we joined the 200 club.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03They were really hard.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05They were really, really hard actually.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06Anyway, that was last time.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08This time, back you come.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Returning couples always tend to do well.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14How will you get to the final, Jess? What's going to be good for you?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Um, hoping some sports questions today.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Maybe some... Well, there's not going to be a question about netball
0:01:19 > 0:01:22but maybe some football questions would be quite good.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24OK. Sophie, how about you?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26I work in an Italian restaurant, so maybe something on food
0:01:26 > 0:01:29and preferably maybe something on television.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Not geography or history.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- Not geography or history?- No.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35OK, very good. Well, welcome back to the show.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Very, very best of luck to you.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Next, we welcome Lucy and Nell.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Now, how do you to know each other, Lucy?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Um, we've known each other for about eight years. We worked together.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46We don't work together now but we've stayed really close.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48We've got quite similar interests.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50And what work did you do together, Nell?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- We worked for the Arts Council. - Right.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56- And I was assistant theatre officer. - Very good. Whereabouts was that?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- BRUMMIE ACCENT: - In Birmingham.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00What things do you like to get up to in your spare time, Nell?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- I go to the theatre. - THEY LAUGH
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Very good indeed. Lucy, how about you?
0:02:05 > 0:02:06What are your interests?
0:02:06 > 0:02:11I do quite a lot of baking in my spare time, so,
0:02:11 > 0:02:15friends and family quite often ask me to make celebration cakes.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Excellent. Very popular.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18And, well, we are looking forward to it.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22I haven't turned up with a cake today, I'm afraid.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Of course.- I hear that goes down quite well.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27They always say, "I haven't got one today," and then before you know it,
0:02:27 > 0:02:31head-to-head starts and they go, "Here's the surprise cake."
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Hmm, looking forward to that so much. Mmm.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- Very best of luck to you, Lucy and Nell.- Thank you.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Particularly looking forward to the bit before the head-to-head.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Now then, Gemma and James.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Next we welcome you back. You were also on the show last time.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44What happened, Gemma?
0:02:44 > 0:02:45My fault.
0:02:45 > 0:02:51First person to go...words ending in B-A-L-L.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Yeah, but ball though, that was a good direction to take it in.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56I know, I know, but I should have thought outside of that really.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Never mind.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Ah, well, there we are. Now, today, James...
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- Yeah...- ..what do you hope is going to come up?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Um, quite fancy politics.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Quite fancy a bit of film as well.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Bit of music - quite keen on my music,
0:03:07 > 0:03:08so any sort of thing like that.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Just not geography or food.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Not geography of food.- I can do those. I've got those covered.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- You're an English teacher, Gemma... - Yes.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18..so you're obviously hoping English comes up? Literature?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Something like... Yeah, it would be very embarrassing if it was,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24you know, a reasonably well-known piece of literature came up
0:03:24 > 0:03:25and I wasn't able to do well.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Or you went out on a Word's round or something like that.- Imagine.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29Imagine.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Well, Gemma and James' round won last time.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Let's hope we see more of you this time.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Best of luck to the pair of you.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37And finally, we welcome Steve and Chris.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Now, how do you two know each other?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Well, we met at university in my first year...well,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- first week pretty much.- Yeah.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- I got cast in a play by Chris. - Yeah, we put on a play.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47What was the play, Chris?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49It was a Canadian play called Wreckhouse
0:03:49 > 0:03:52and I didn't really know... I hadn't really read it but we...
0:03:52 > 0:03:54You were directing it?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I was co-directing it.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59OK. And be honest, was it well co-directed?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03There's... I mean, there's stuff I would have done differently...
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- Yeah, yeah. - HE LAUGHS
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Where are you from, Chris?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Well, we've come up from Canterbury today
0:04:09 > 0:04:12but I'm originally from sort of Wales area.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13Obscure Welsh village.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Oh, lovely. What's the name of your village?
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Llanfair Llwyth Yfnwg.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- Yes. - LAUGHTER
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Obscure Welsh villages would be a good category.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Good. OK. Well, there we are.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27And what do you do down in Canterbury, Steve?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Well, me and Chris actually work together as two of Canterbury's
0:04:30 > 0:04:33resident medieval jesters.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34- Wow.- ..which is pretty exciting.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37For the... There's a medieval visitor's attraction
0:04:37 > 0:04:38and we go out onto the streets
0:04:38 > 0:04:43and regale all the passing tourists with our alluring, jestering ways.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- And where is it you do this? - Canterbury.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48MUTTERS: So, avoid Canterbury.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:04:50 > 0:04:52OK. Well, welcome to the show, Steve and Chris.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Very best of luck to you.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56We'll find out more about you all throughout the show as it goes on.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58There's only one person left to introduce.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01He clearly did a lot of reading during his time in prison.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03It's my Pointless friend.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04It's Richard.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Hiya.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07APPLAUSE
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- How are you? Are you well? - I'm very well, thank you.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I've got two returning pairs but neither of those
0:05:15 > 0:05:16has been in a head-to-head,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19so it could be a very open field today, I suspect.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Two good new pairs as well.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Seems like quite a bright line up.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- Yes.- Don't you think?- Yeah, I'd say.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26It's hard to work out who's going to get knocked out very early.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I mean...
0:05:28 > 0:05:30one of the pairs will, we know that. AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:05:30 > 0:05:32But, you know, I wouldn't like to put my money on who it is.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Now, all our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people
0:05:36 > 0:05:38before the show. To get through to our final round
0:05:38 > 0:05:40and have a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42our contestants need to find the obscure answers
0:05:42 > 0:05:44our 100 people didn't get.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46The fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48the fewer points you all score.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50What everyone's trying to do is to find a pointless answer,
0:05:50 > 0:05:52that's an answer that none of our 100 people gave,
0:05:52 > 0:05:56and each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Nobody won the jackpot last time so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04So today's jackpot starts off at £14,250.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05APPLAUSE
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:06:17 > 0:06:19OK, in this first round each of you is giving me one answer
0:06:19 > 0:06:21and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23The pair with the highest score at the end of the round
0:06:23 > 0:06:26will be eliminated, so try and make sure that's not you.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28OK. Our first category today is...
0:06:29 > 0:06:31..Countries.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Can you decide in your pairs who's going first,
0:06:33 > 0:06:34who's going to go second?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42OK. And our question concerns...
0:06:43 > 0:06:46..Countries And Their International Borders. Richard.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Yes, in a moment Xander's going to show you a list of six countries.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52We need you to tell us any other countries
0:06:52 > 0:06:53that border one of those six countries,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56so, any country in the world that shares a land border
0:06:56 > 0:06:59with any of the six countries you are about to see.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02By country, we mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Right. Sophie and Jessica, you drew lots before the show.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06You are going to go first.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09So, let me show you the list of six countries.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Reads like this.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12HE READS LIST
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I'll read those one last time.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21HE READS LIST
0:07:22 > 0:07:25We are looking for countries which are a land border
0:07:25 > 0:07:27with any of these six countries.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29These six countries remain on the board
0:07:29 > 0:07:32the whole way through the round. Now then, Sophie.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Um... Hmm.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I'm going to have to go with...
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I'm guessing it.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Italy with...next to Spain.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Italy, let's see that's right,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Italy.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Oh, bad luck, Sophie.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I'm afraid that's incorrect.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- It scores you the maximum of 100 points.- I'm not surprised at all.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- SHE LAUGHS - Richard.- Sorry, Sophie.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00If someone tells you they work at passport control
0:08:00 > 0:08:02between Spain and Italy, they're lying to you.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- AUDIENCE LAUGHS - OK.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Now then, Lucy.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10My brother-in-law comes from South Africa, so if this is wrong
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I'm going to be in trouble,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15but I think Botswana has got a border with South Africa.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Botswana. Let's see if that's right.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Let's see how many people said Botswana.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21Absolutely right.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Eight.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Well done. Well done.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Very well done, Lucy.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37That's a terrific answer, Lucy. Well done.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Nearly 2,000km of border between those two.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Now then, James.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Hi.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50I'm going to go for Spain bordering France.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52France. Let's see if that's right.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Let's see how many people said France.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Absolutely right.
0:09:00 > 0:09:0157.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03APPLAUSE
0:09:05 > 0:09:08You're getting quite a surprisingly low score, I would say,
0:09:08 > 0:09:11for France and Spain. The border runs through the Pyrenees.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Now then, Chris.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Name any country that shares a land border
0:09:14 > 0:09:17with one of these six countries.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I think I'm going to go for obscure just because...
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I think that's why I'm here.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24I think Andorra borders Spain.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Andorra, says Chris. Andorra. Let's see if that's right.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Let's see how many people said it.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Absolutely right.
0:09:36 > 0:09:3716.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40APPLAUSE
0:09:40 > 0:09:4216 for Andorra.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Well done, Chris. An admirable way to play the game as well.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Yeah, it lies in-between France and Spain.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:09:51 > 0:09:528, very much the best score
0:09:52 > 0:09:53of that pass, Lucy.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Then up to 16,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56where we find Chris and Steve.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Up to 57,
0:09:57 > 0:09:58where we find James and Gemma
0:09:58 > 0:10:00and then up to 100,
0:10:00 > 0:10:02where we find Sophie and Jess.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Whatever happens in the next pass,
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Jess, you definitely have to give a very low-scoring answer
0:10:06 > 0:10:08to make it into the next round.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Very best of luck. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20OK, so we're looking for countries that border these six countries.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Steve, you're on 16.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23The highest scorers are Jess and Sophie on 100.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26If you can score 83 or less, you're through to the next round.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31OK. I think I'm going to play fairly safe actually.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34No, actually, I'll be a bit risky.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39I think I'm...I'm hoping that Argentina has a border with Ecuador.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Ecuador, says Steve. Ecuador.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Here comes your red line.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45If you can get below that red line with Ecuador
0:10:45 > 0:10:47you are through to the next round. Best of luck.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Ecuador. Is it right? And how many people said it?
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Oh, bad luck, Steve.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Bad luck. That's an incorrect answer, I'm afraid,
0:10:58 > 0:11:00which scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02That takes your total up to 116.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Bit of a lifeline there, Jess.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Yeah, sorry, Steve.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08I think I might have played that one safe.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I think if your partner's taken a risk
0:11:10 > 0:11:12you can...you have the luxury of playing it safe.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13Certainly.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Now then, Gemma.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Gemma, the highest scorers are now Steve and Chris on 116.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23You're on 57, which means 58 or less will see you into the next round.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28I'm pretty sure I flew over Albania on the way to Greece
0:11:28 > 0:11:29so I'm going to say Albania.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Is Albania right? How many people said it if it is?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36It is right.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39And you're through to the next round. Very well done.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44APPLAUSE
0:11:44 > 0:11:4711 for Albania, takes your total up to 68.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Yeah, well done, Gemma. Already done better than the last time. Good work.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Lies to the north of Greece.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Now then, Nell, you are through to the next round whatever happens.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Even if you score 100 points,
0:11:59 > 0:12:03you won't overtake Steve and Chris on 116.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04As I'm through anyway.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09I think Mexico is near to Argentina.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10OK. Let's see if that's right.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12If it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16It's right.
0:12:18 > 0:12:1960.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21APPLAUSE
0:12:22 > 0:12:2460 for Mexico.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Takes your total up to 68.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Yes, you got lucky there too, Nell,
0:12:27 > 0:12:31cos it doesn't border Argentina but it does border the United States
0:12:31 > 0:12:33so it is an acceptable answer in this round.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Now then, Jess, how good is your geography?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37It's OK, but I...
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Can I tell you how good it needs to be?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- 6... Oh, no, 15 points.- Yeah, 15.
0:12:41 > 0:12:4315 or lower.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Botswana scored 8 and Albania scored 11.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Both of that... Things at that kind of level.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Cos I know Zimbabwe borders South Africa
0:12:50 > 0:12:52but I think that is quite obvious.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53So I'm going to have to go risky
0:12:53 > 0:12:55so I'm going to go Paraguay for Argentina.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56There's your red line.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59If you can get below that red line with Paraguay...
0:12:59 > 0:13:01you are through to the next round.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Let's find out if it's right,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04and if so, let's see how many people said Paraguay.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08It's right.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13It's right. Is it going to go down lower than 15?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Yes, it is! Very well done. 10.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16APPLAUSE
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Very well done indeed.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20That takes your total up to 110.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Blimey. Very well played, Jess.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28You wouldn't have predicted that after the first answer, would you?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31It lies just to the north of Argentina, Paraguay. Very well done.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Let's take a look at the best answers you could have given.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Mozambique would have scored you 1. Swaziland would have scored you 2.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Bolivia, which borders Argentina,
0:13:39 > 0:13:40that would have scored you 4.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Other low scorers you could have gone for - Bulgaria, 5,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45former Yugoslavia - Republic Of Macedonia would've scored 8,
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Lesotho. Botswana, we've already had. Malaysia. They all scored 8.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Shall we look at the worst answers,
0:13:50 > 0:13:52the ones that most of our 100 people said?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Mexico, we've already heard, scored 60.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Portugal would have scored 65...
0:13:57 > 0:13:58which obviously borders Spain.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02And, well, at the top, the longest land border in the world,
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Canada and the USA, 72 points.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06Thanks very much, Richard.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08So, at the end of our first round, our losing pair
0:14:08 > 0:14:10with the highest score, it's Steve and Chris.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12You took a colossal risk there.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Yeah. I should have gone for a big one.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- They would have been all right.- They would have all seen you through.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18Every correct answer.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Every single correct answer would have seen you through.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21LAUGHTER
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Oh, it was pure greed, I think.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26- Pointless greed.- Pointless greed.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Listen, Steve and Chris, we'll see you again next time
0:14:28 > 0:14:30and we look forward to that very much.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Meantime, thank you very much for playing.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33- Steve and Chris. - APPLAUSE
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Right, for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:14:44 > 0:14:47So, sadly, at the end of this round another pair will be leaving us.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Our category for Round Two is...
0:14:50 > 0:14:52..Famous Europeans. Famous Europeans.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- who's going to go second? - THEY WHISPER
0:14:57 > 0:14:59And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05OK. So, our question concerns...
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Famous Italians.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Famous Italians. Richard.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Yeah, we're going to show you 12 descriptions
0:15:11 > 0:15:13of famous people born in Italy.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15You need to tell us who they are, please.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18We'll accept surnames or the names by which they're most commonly known.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Give us an incorrect answer though, you score 100 points.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23The most obscure answer scores the fewest points.
0:15:23 > 0:15:2412 in all to have a go at home.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27So we're looking for the famous Italians described by these clues,
0:15:27 > 0:15:28and here they are.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Our first board.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32HE READS LIST
0:15:50 > 0:15:52I'll read all of those one last time.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56HE READS LIST
0:16:11 > 0:16:12There we are.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Six clues to six famous Italians.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16Sophie.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20OK, so, the only one I'd probably have a clue
0:16:20 > 0:16:22would be the fashion designer,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24and I'm literally going to have to hazard a guess.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- I'm going to have to say Versace. - Let's see if it's right.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Let's see how many people knew that if it is right.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Versace.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Bad luck, Sophie.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36I'm afraid that's incorrect.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38It scores you the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- Richard.- Sorry, Sophie, not Versace.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43I'll give the correct answer at the end of this pass
0:16:43 > 0:16:45in case the others want to have a go at that.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Lucy.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50This is not a good category for me
0:16:50 > 0:16:54so I'm going to have to play it safe and hope that this is right.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57I think the jockey is Frankie Dettori.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Frankie Dettori, says Lucy. Let's see if that's right.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Let's see how many people said it if it is. Frankie Dettori.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Absolutely right.
0:17:10 > 0:17:1134.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13APPLAUSE
0:17:13 > 0:17:1534 for Frankie Dettori.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Well done, Lucy. Well played.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22He won those races at the combined odds of 25,095 to 1.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- Really?- The bookies lost an absolute fortune that day.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27A fortune.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28Wow.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Now then, James.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33OK, I've got no idea about the fashion designer.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36The Three Tenors must be Pavarotti
0:17:36 > 0:17:39but I would have thought that would be quite high,
0:17:39 > 0:17:43so I'm going to go for the Chelsea number 25 which is Gianfranco Zola.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Zola, says James. Let's see if that's right.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Let's see how many people said Zola.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Absolutely right.
0:17:55 > 0:17:5619.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Very well done, James. 19 for Zola.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Yes, born in Sardinia, Gianfranco Zola.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05In 2003 they had a vote on the website
0:18:05 > 0:18:07for Chelsea's greatest ever player
0:18:07 > 0:18:09and he won 60% of the vote.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11They love him over there.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13OK, let's go through the rest of the board.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Now, the fashion designer,
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Sophie said it was Versace.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18He was born in 1946.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22In 1934 it was Giorgio Armani.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Would've scored 1 point, a terrific answer.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Very well done if you said that at home.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31One of the original Three Tenors, absolutely right, James.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32It was Pavarotti.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35It would've scored you 39 points. You did well to avoid it.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Starred opposite Cary Grant -
0:18:36 > 0:18:37Sophia Loren.
0:18:39 > 0:18:4014 points that would have scored you.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Constructed an electric battery c.1800, do you know that?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48You'll know it when I say it. It's Alessandro Volta.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Ah.- Volta. Where we get volts from. 7 points.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54So, Armani, actually the best answer on that board.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Thank you, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57Let's take a look at the scores.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58James and Gemma,
0:18:58 > 0:19:00looking very strong indeed on 19
0:19:00 > 0:19:02after James' brilliant answer there with Zola.
0:19:02 > 0:19:0434 is where we find
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Lucy and Nell.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06And then, once again,
0:19:06 > 0:19:07back up at 100, Sophie.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11So, Jess, we rely on you again to find a really low-scoring answer
0:19:11 > 0:19:14on the next board. Let's hope that's enough to see you through.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15OK, back down the line now.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23OK. We're going to put six more clues on the board
0:19:23 > 0:19:25and here they come. We have got...
0:19:26 > 0:19:30HE READS LIST
0:19:41 > 0:19:43I'll read those all one last time.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46HE READS LIST
0:19:58 > 0:19:59There we are.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Now, remember we are looking for these famous Italians.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04And obviously, Gemma, you're going to try and find
0:20:04 > 0:20:06the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I want to take a punt but I think he did quite well
0:20:08 > 0:20:12so I'm going to play it safe and I'm just going to say...
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Michelangelo, says Gemma.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Michelangelo for the Sistine Chapel. Here's your red line.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23If you get below that red line you're through to the next round.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Is Michelangelo right? And if it is, how many people said it?
0:20:28 > 0:20:29It's right.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30And you're through.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- 34. - APPLAUSE
0:20:35 > 0:20:36SHE LAUGHS
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- That takes your total up to 53, Gemma.- Well done, Gemma.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42I think you got your tactics right as well.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Born in Caprese, near Florence.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Now then, Nell.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49The high scorers on 100 are Jess and Sophie. You're on 34.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51You want to be scoring 65 or less with your answer.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I hope this is right. I only know two.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58I think La Boheme is Puccini.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Puccini, says Nell.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03Puccini, the composer of La Boheme. Let's see if it's right.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Let's see how money people said Puccini.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08It is right.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10And you're through to the next round.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14- Whoo!- 8 for Puccini.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16APPLAUSE
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Takes your total up to 42.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Yeah. Another good answer, La Boheme.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24The fourth most-performed opera in the world...
0:21:24 > 0:21:26of this century.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28The Magic Flute is number one.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Yeah.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30AUDIENCE MEMBER CHUCKLES
0:21:30 > 0:21:33I don't want to spoil the end but the flute isn't magic.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Do you know, it was formed
0:21:35 > 0:21:38by the coming together of the three elements?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- What was?- Earth, wind and Fire.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Cos the flute was formed by lightning
0:21:42 > 0:21:46that struck a tree and you provide the wind to blow in it.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47- It's clever.- Not true though.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49LAUGHTER
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Ah, now then, Jess, I have very sad news, I'm afraid.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57You are the high scorers even before you've given your answer.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Sophie's gone one step too far this time.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00SHE LAUGHS
0:22:00 > 0:22:04- Sorry.- However, you are the last person to have this board.- Yes.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05- Talk us through it if you can.- OK.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08So, I haven't heard of the top film or the book.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12I know that Gino D'Acampo won I'm A Celebrity.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16And I only know one PM, that's Berlusconi.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19OK. So I'm going to say Berlusconi and maybe go out on a high.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23So, Italy's longest serving post-war PM, Berlusconi.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24OK, Berlusconi, says Jess.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27There's no red line for you as you're already the high scorers
0:22:27 > 0:22:28but let's see if it's right,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30and if it is, let's see how many people said Berlusconi.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33It's right.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- 14. - APPLAUSE
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Great answer. Lovely low score there, Jess.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Sadly, it takes your total up to 114, though. Richard.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Yes, born in Milan in 1936.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51It's amazing that virtually everyone in Britain
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- can name an Italian politician. - Amazing.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Gemma, you had the right tactics in this round
0:22:55 > 0:22:58but you were going to go for a risky one. What would you have gone for?
0:22:58 > 0:23:01I thought La Dolce Vita was Fellini.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03You're absolutely right. Federico Fellini.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05And that would have scored you 4 points.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07You're through anyway.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08- SHE LAUGHS - I know.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11And you've had the chance to show off as well...so it's perfect.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14You've relaxed for the rest of the round and now you look clever.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Chef who won 2009.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Absolutely right, Jess, it was Gino D'Acampo.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Would've scored you 20 points. I thought, Nell,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25I thought you might go for Accidental Death Of An Anarchist.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27It's a terrific play. Do you know that one?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Xander, I bet you know it.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- Dario Fo.- Dario Fo.- Dario Fo.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34And that's a pointless answer,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37so, very well done to anyone who got that at home.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Splendid. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41So, at the end of Round Two our losing pair
0:23:41 > 0:23:43with the highest score, I'm afraid,
0:23:43 > 0:23:46finally, Jess and Sophie, you've been beaten.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48That was a great answer from you though, Jess.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50And Sophie, tricky board.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53I knew quite a few answers in the second one which is so annoying.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57I knew the Dario Fo so that's really frustrating.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58That's really bad.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00That would have been a fantastic round otherwise.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02We have to say goodbye to you, Jess and Sophie.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03It was lovely having you on the show.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Thank you both so much for playing. Jess and Sophie, great contestants.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10But for the remaining two pairs
0:24:10 > 0:24:12it's about to get even more exciting,
0:24:12 > 0:24:13as we enter the head-to-head.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Congratulations, Lucy and Nell, Gemma and James.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23You are now only one round away from the final
0:24:23 > 0:24:28and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £14,250.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30AUDIENCE: Whoo.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34You're now going to go head-to-head,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36and the first pair to win two questions
0:24:36 > 0:24:37will be playing for that jackpot,
0:24:37 > 0:24:40but the big news is you are now allowed to confer.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51OK. Here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:24:52 > 0:24:55..Female Literary Characters On Film.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Female Literary Characters On Film. Richard.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Yes, can you give us the names of any of the five characters
0:25:01 > 0:25:05you are about to see? First name and surname, please.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08OK. Let's reveal our five literary characters on film.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09And here they are. We have got...
0:25:25 > 0:25:29There we are. Five literary characters portrayed on film.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Now.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Lucy and Nell, you've played best so far so you get to go first.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37THEY WHISPER
0:25:39 > 0:25:43I think we're going to go for C
0:25:43 > 0:25:45which we both think, so if it's wrong...
0:25:45 > 0:25:46- We're both wrong.- ..the blame is shared.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49We think that's Jean Brodie.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Jean Brodie, say Lucy and Nell.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Jean Brodie.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Now then, Gemma and James,
0:25:54 > 0:25:56you can talk us through the board if you like.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00I know that the film for A is Notes On A Scandal.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03I don't know the character.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04I know Holly Golightly is D.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07I know Cruella De Vil is E.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09I think B is Scout Finch
0:26:09 > 0:26:11in To Kill A Mockingbird.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14That's the one I'd go for then, B.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15So let's have a punt.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16B, Scout Finch.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Scout Finch, say Gemma and James. Scout Finch.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Lucy and Nell have said Jean Brodie. Let's see if that's right.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Let's see how many people said it.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Absolutely right.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- 32. - APPLAUSE
0:26:36 > 0:26:3832 for Jean Brodie.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Gemma and James have said Scout Finch.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Let's see if that's right,
0:26:42 > 0:26:44and if it is, let's see how many people said Scout Finch.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48Absolutely right.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Well done. You've won the point.
0:26:55 > 0:26:563 for Scout Finch.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02That was a punt worth taking, which means, Gemma and James,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04after one question you are up 1-0. Richard.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Well played, Gemma.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07If any of your English pupils want to have a go at you
0:27:07 > 0:27:09show them a tape of that round.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11You took us through the board very, very nicely there. Well played.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13You're right, it's from Notes On A Scandal.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15It's Cate Blanchett playing Sheba Hart.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17That's a pointless answer if anybody said that.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19It's a terrific answer.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Scout Finch was from To Kill A Mockingbird,
0:27:21 > 0:27:23as you say, Jean Brodie from The Prime Of Miss Jean Brody.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24If you'd said Holly Golightly...
0:27:24 > 0:27:27That's Holly Golightly in Breakfast At Tiffany's.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29..you also would have won the point cos it only scores 15.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34And at the end there, that's Cruella de Vil in 102 Dalmatians that is.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36But that would have scored 56 points.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Thanks very much, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Lucy and Nell, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Best of luck. It concerns...
0:27:46 > 0:27:47..UK Cabinet posts.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51UK Cabinet posts. Richard.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Yeah, we're now going to show you the five names
0:27:53 > 0:27:54of key UK Cabinet posts
0:27:54 > 0:27:57but we're only showing you the initials of that post.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Can you tell us what these posts are, please?
0:27:59 > 0:28:01OK. Let's reveal our Cabinet posts.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03And here they are. We have got...
0:28:04 > 0:28:07HE READS LIST
0:28:18 > 0:28:20I'll read those all one last time.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23HE READS LIST
0:28:30 > 0:28:31Now then.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Gemma and James, you go first this time.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36- He's going to do this.- Well...
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Do you want to whisper to me? Do you want to tell me...?
0:28:40 > 0:28:44- No, I'll go for it.- OK. - Could we go "L For The H Of L",
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Leader Of The House Of Lords?
0:28:46 > 0:28:47Leader Of The House Of Lords,
0:28:47 > 0:28:49say Gemma and James.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Lucy and Nell, you can talk us through the board if you like.
0:28:51 > 0:28:52NELL LAUGHS
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Um, I know a few of them.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57I think "C Of The E" is Chancellor Of The Exchequer.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03"S Of The S For D", I think is Secretary Of State For Defence.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05So I think we'll go for Secretary Of State For Defence
0:29:05 > 0:29:07but I think it's going to be too high.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11OK. You're going to say Secretary Of State For Defence.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15So, Gemma and James, you have said Leader Of The House Of Lords.
0:29:15 > 0:29:16Let's see if that's right.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18If it is, let's see how many said it.
0:29:18 > 0:29:19Leader Of The House Of Lords.
0:29:21 > 0:29:22Absolutely right.
0:29:26 > 0:29:2735.
0:29:28 > 0:29:29APPLAUSE
0:29:31 > 0:29:3335 for Leader Of The House Of Lords.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Lucy and Nell have gone for Secretary Of State For Defence.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36Let's see if that's right,
0:29:36 > 0:29:38and if it is let's see how many people said that.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42It is right.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45For you to stay in the game it has to be 35.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Yes, it is! Very well done. 33.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49APPLAUSE
0:29:50 > 0:29:5333 for Secretary Of State For Defence,
0:29:53 > 0:29:55which means, after two questions, Lucy and Nell,
0:29:55 > 0:29:57you're back in the game. It's 1-1.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Yeah, that was a close one.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02You're right, "C Of The E" is Chancellor Of The Exchequer.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04That would have scored you 54 points.
0:30:04 > 0:30:05Now, the "S Of S For E and CC",
0:30:05 > 0:30:09it's the Secretary Of State For Energy And Climate Change.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Would have scored you 2 points. And the top one is
0:30:11 > 0:30:15Secretary Of State For Environment, Food And Rural Affairs.
0:30:17 > 0:30:204 points that would have scored you. So the best answer is
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Secretary Of State For Energy And Climate Change.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Thanks very much, Richard. So it comes down to our third question.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Whoever wins this question goes through to the final
0:30:29 > 0:30:31and plays for that jackpot. Very best of luck to both pairs.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Our third question concerns...
0:30:34 > 0:30:36..Orchestra. Richard.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Yeah, we're now going to show you five clues relating to
0:30:38 > 0:30:41the practices and the instruments of Western concert orchestras.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Can you give us the most obscure answer here?
0:30:43 > 0:30:44Best of luck, both teams.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47OK. Let's reveal our five clues. And here they are. We've got...
0:30:49 > 0:30:51HE READS LIST
0:31:04 > 0:31:06I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10HE READS LIST
0:31:21 > 0:31:24There we are. Five clues to facts about the orchestra.
0:31:24 > 0:31:25Lucy and Nell, go first.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28THEY WHISPER
0:31:29 > 0:31:31NELL WHISPERS: The kitchen department's percussion.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Um, the kitchen department is percussion.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Percussion, the kitchen department, say Lucy and Nell.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Percussion.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Now then, Gemma and James, talk us through the board.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43You talk through the board.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Well, the leader of the orchestra...
0:31:45 > 0:31:46plays the violin.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51The conductor directs the orchestra but I'm sure that'll be quite high.
0:31:51 > 0:31:52And I'm fairly sure
0:31:52 > 0:31:54that the orchestra tunes to A.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Do you think more people will know that
0:31:56 > 0:31:58leader of the orchestra plays this instrument?
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Let's go for Leader Of The Orchestra. No.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03- LAUGHTER - Yeah, let's go for A then.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- OK.- Orchestra tunes to A, let's say.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08The orchestra tunes to A, say Gemma and James.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Lucy and Nell say the percussion section
0:32:10 > 0:32:11is known as the kitchen department.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18It's right.
0:32:21 > 0:32:2238.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28APPLAUSE DROWNS OUT SPEECH
0:32:28 > 0:32:3338. Now then, Gemma and James have said that the orchestra tunes to A.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Let's see if it's right. If it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40This will let us know who's going through to the final
0:32:40 > 0:32:41and playing for that jackpot.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46A is absolutely right.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Is it going to go lower than 38?
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Yes, it is!
0:32:51 > 0:32:52Very well done. 7.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56- Oh, my God!- 7 for A.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Very well done indeed, Gemma and James.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04After three questions you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06- Well done.- Very well played, guys.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08A very, very, very good decision there.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09You were a millisecond away
0:33:09 > 0:33:11from knocking yourself out of the jackpot round there,
0:33:11 > 0:33:14because if you'd said the leader of the orchestra plays the violin,
0:33:14 > 0:33:16you'd have been right but it would have scored you...
0:33:18 > 0:33:20..46 points.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21SHE SIGHS
0:33:21 > 0:33:24In fact, A is the only answer that would have beaten percussion actually
0:33:24 > 0:33:26cos the other two would have scored more as well.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Person who directs the orchestra is a conductor.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Would have scored you 81.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33The largest and lowest pitched of the string section?
0:33:33 > 0:33:36- Double bass. - Double bass, absolutely right.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37And that would have scored you 40.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40So, very, very well played. That was...
0:33:40 > 0:33:41JAMES LAUGHS ..very close.
0:33:43 > 0:33:44Very well done.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48Our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head round is Lucy and Nell.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Oh, that was tough. You knew that answer as well.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54- Yes.- We could hear you deliberating. - We didn't know whether to risk it.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56I couldn't remember whether it was A or E
0:33:56 > 0:33:58and I didn't want to risk it, and I wish I had now.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00- SHE TUTS - Sadly, they just pipped you there.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04We'll see you again next time, Lucy and Nell. We look forward to that.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06- In the meantime, thanks very much for playing.- Well done.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11But for Gemma and James it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15AUDIENCE APPLAUDS AND CHEERS
0:34:17 > 0:34:18Congratulations, Gemma and James.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20You fought off the competition and you've won
0:34:20 > 0:34:22our coveted Pointless trophy. Very well done.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35At the end of today's show the jackpot stands that £14,250.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36AUDIENCE: Whoo.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- So, last time you were on the show you went out in Round One.- Yeah.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47This time, right the way through to the final. How are you feeling?
0:34:47 > 0:34:50I think that A is probably my favourite note now.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52- AUDIENCE LAUGHS - I'm not sure I had one before
0:34:52 > 0:34:53but now it's definitely A.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Very good. Best of luck. The rules are very simple,
0:34:55 > 0:34:58to win the money all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00- OK.- We've had no pointless answers on the show today.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03You only have to find one now and you'll go home with that jackpot.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Firstly, you've got to choose a category. And your choices are...
0:35:08 > 0:35:11HE READS LIST
0:35:17 > 0:35:18They're all reasonable for us.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21They're all reasonable.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23- Would you lean towards Thespians more than Theatre?- Yeah.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26OK. All right, we'll go for Thespians.
0:35:26 > 0:35:27British Thespians, OK.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:35:32 > 0:35:37to name as many Ian McKellen films as they could. Richard.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39We're looking for any feature film made for general cinema release
0:35:39 > 0:35:43for which Ian McKellen has received an acting credit prior to May 2012.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Please, no short films, TV films or documentaries,
0:35:45 > 0:35:47that sort of thing but voice performances do count.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Very, very best of luck. It's a big jackpot.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:35:53 > 0:35:58and all you need to win that £14,250 is for just one of those answers
0:35:58 > 0:36:00to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- BOTH: Yeah.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06Obvious ones.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08- X-Men, X-Men 2, Lord Of The Rings trilogy.- Yeah.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11I've got Walter, which was one of the first ones on Channel 4.
0:36:11 > 0:36:12- He's definitely in that.- OK.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16What about any films where he's done about Shakespeare.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- I know he's in Richard III. - Richard III, OK.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19Walter and Richard III.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Um...
0:36:21 > 0:36:23I can't think of any that are sort of more thespian Shakespeare.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- Has he done any more Shakespeare? Has he done Macbeth?- I don't know.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29I don't know. I'm trying to think of things where he's been...
0:36:29 > 0:36:33Just obscurely popped up and you think, oh, Ian McKellen's in that.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36I know he's in Richard III. I know he's done Walter.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37- Yeah.- We've got 30 seconds.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41There's obviously the Lord Of The Rings trilogy.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43- He's in all X-Men films.- Hmm.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47- So that's X-Men 2.- Yeah, X-Men 2, do you think, for the last one?
0:36:47 > 0:36:49I'm just annoyed we haven't got another better one than that really.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53- Yeah.- But my mind has gone totally blank.
0:36:53 > 0:36:54Ian McKellen.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- 10 seconds left.- His name will go on our graves.
0:36:58 > 0:36:59JAMES LAUGHS
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Um, I think we'll have to go X-Men 2, Walter and...
0:37:02 > 0:37:04- SHE WHISPERS - OK.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06- Richard III second?- Yeah.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07OK. Now, there we are. Your time is up.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09We were looking for Ian McKellen films.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11I now need your three answers.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12What are you thinking?
0:37:12 > 0:37:14We're not massively strong on Ian McKellen...
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- What we've got is X-Men 2.- X-Men 2.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Um...
0:37:19 > 0:37:21- Richard III.- Richard III.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23- And Walter.- And Walter.- Yeah.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Now, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- Walter?- Walter I think, yeah. - Walter. We'll put that last.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- Which is your least likely? - X-Men.- X-Men 2.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Cos everyone knows them.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35OK. Let's put them up on the board in that order.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36And here they are.
0:37:36 > 0:37:41We've got X-Men 2, Richard III and Walter.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43We're looking for Ian McKellen films.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Your first answer, the one you thought was least likely
0:37:45 > 0:37:46to be pointless is X-Men 2.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Remember, you only have to find one pointless answer
0:37:50 > 0:37:53to win that jackpot of £14,250.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55- Massive jackpot, isn't it?- Don't.
0:37:55 > 0:37:56SHE LAUGHS
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Let's see. Is X-Men 2 right?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00How many people said it?
0:38:02 > 0:38:04It's right.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06OK, down it goes.
0:38:06 > 0:38:11If this goes all the way down to 0 you will leave here with £14,250.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13It's still going down into the teens, into the single figures...
0:38:13 > 0:38:156 is where it stops.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- Wow. - APPLAUSE
0:38:20 > 0:38:22I mean, even allowing for the fact that you very cleverly
0:38:22 > 0:38:25put in X-Men 2 instead of X-Men.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- That's still very low. 6. - We watch the show.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- SHE LAUGHS - We know.
0:38:29 > 0:38:30- 2 at the end. - I like what you've done there.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Unfortunately though, it's not a pointless answer,
0:38:33 > 0:38:37which means you only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Now, what would you do with £14,250?
0:38:40 > 0:38:43I haven't really come to terms with the idea that we're even here, so...
0:38:43 > 0:38:45- We're just happy with the trophy, to be honest.- Yeah.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48We can't believe we get two. One in the bedroom, one in the living room.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:38:50 > 0:38:52OK, well, we're looking for Ian McKellen films.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Richard III.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58This has to be right, obviously. Then it has to be pointless
0:38:58 > 0:39:00if you're going to win that jackpot of £14,250.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Let's see.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Is it right? How many people said it? Richard III.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Absolutely right.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13X-Men 2 was correct and took us all the way down to 6.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17Richard III taking us down through the '20s into the teens.
0:39:17 > 0:39:18Down into single figures.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20- If this goes all the way down... - ALL: Oh!
0:39:20 > 0:39:23- 3. - APPLAUSE
0:39:26 > 0:39:273...
0:39:27 > 0:39:29appropriately for Richard III.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33It means you have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35This sounds like a brilliant answer.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Now, where did Walter come from, James?
0:39:37 > 0:39:40I remember as a child reading The Top 10 Of Everything
0:39:40 > 0:39:42and it had a list of programmes that were broadcast...
0:39:42 > 0:39:45The first ten programmes broadcast on Channel 4 in 1982,
0:39:45 > 0:39:48and Walter was the film that was on that evening, the film on 4
0:39:48 > 0:39:52with Ian McKellen playing, I believe, a handicapped man.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55If it has just been a complete kind of fantasy in my head...
0:39:55 > 0:39:56ALL LAUGH
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Well, we'll just have to cope with that collectively.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00That's why I'm with him.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Wow. But these are the sorts of recollections
0:40:02 > 0:40:04that win pointless answers.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06- Did I sound really cool saying that? - A little bit.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08THEY LAUGH
0:40:08 > 0:40:10It's quite impressive. We're looking for Ian McKellen films.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Your third and final answer,
0:40:12 > 0:40:15the one you thought was most likely to be pointless was Walter.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Probably not even real.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20This was your most confident shot at that jackpot of £14,250.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23It has to be pointless if you're going to win it. Let's find out.
0:40:23 > 0:40:24Walter.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Is it right? How many people said it?
0:40:26 > 0:40:27Best of luck.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34- ALL: Ah!- Oh, no!
0:40:35 > 0:40:37APPLAUSE
0:40:43 > 0:40:44Oh, bad luck.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Unfortunately, we will discover why shortly.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50- That is an incorrect answer... - Fair enough.- ..which means
0:40:50 > 0:40:53you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55- Never mind.- So I'm afraid you don't leave with that jackpot
0:40:55 > 0:40:57but you do take home our Pointless trophy,
0:40:57 > 0:40:59so very, very well done for that.
0:41:02 > 0:41:03I'm sorry.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Yeah, sorry about that. You took us through Walter very nicely as well.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11It was one of the first things ever shown on Channel 4.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Ian McKellen is in it, Stephen Frears directed it from 1982
0:41:14 > 0:41:16but the clue is in the fact
0:41:16 > 0:41:19that it was on the first night of Channel 4, it's not a feature film.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21- It was made for television, made for Channel 4.- Ah.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24So, not really shown at cinema.
0:41:24 > 0:41:25If it makes you feel any better,
0:41:25 > 0:41:27one of our 100 people made the same mistake,
0:41:27 > 0:41:29- so even if was a feature film... - That's all right then.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32..you wouldn't have won the cash. Phew.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers that were there.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37You played terrifically. Sorry about that.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Alfred The Great he was in. Displaced from 2006.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43He stars with Nick Nolte in I'll Do Anything.
0:41:43 > 0:41:44Restoration.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46The Ballad Of Little Jo, the 1993 Western.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Plays a Jewish historian in The Keep.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53The Magic Roundabout, plays the voice of Zebedee in that.
0:41:53 > 0:41:54AUDIENCE: Oh.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56The Shadow...The Shadow,
0:41:56 > 0:41:58where he plays an atomic scientist.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00And he plays a psychotherapist in Zina.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Other pointless answers - A Touch Of Love, Amy Foster.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Eighteen, Neverwas and The Promise.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Well done if you've said any of those.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08You played so terrifically. SHE MOUTHS
0:42:08 > 0:42:10I hope all your students are watching and very proud.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Sorry about the money but, you know, it's been lovely to meet you.
0:42:13 > 0:42:14- It's been grand.- BOTH: Thank you.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Well done, you, though. You've done absolutely brilliantly.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye now.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21But, Gemma and James, fantastic contestants.
0:42:21 > 0:42:22A really great show.
0:42:22 > 0:42:23Thanks so much for playing.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Well, Gemma and James didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:30 > 0:42:32which means it rolls over onto the next show
0:42:32 > 0:42:35when we will be playing for £15,250.
0:42:35 > 0:42:36AUDIENCE: Whoo!
0:42:37 > 0:42:40It's almost getting to be one of our biggest jackpots ever.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Join us next time, see if someone can win it.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48APPLAUSE
