0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:25 > 0:00:29and welcome to Pointless, the quiz show where the aim of the game
0:00:29 > 0:00:30is to score as few points as you can
0:00:30 > 0:00:33and to do that, you need to come up with the answers
0:00:33 > 0:00:36that no-one else could think of. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39APPLAUSE
0:00:40 > 0:00:44First we welcome back Mike and Jane. You were on the show last time.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49This is your second chance. Jane, what happened last time?
0:00:49 > 0:00:55We were asked for top 40 hits of Elvis Presley
0:00:55 > 0:01:00and I said Caught In A Trap, and, of course, it was the wrong answer.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02It was Suspicious Minds by Elvis.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Right you are. You got caught in that particular trap.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09- So, we're hoping head-to-head or further today, surely.- Yes.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Now, last time, Mike, you revealed the first couple of verses of a poem
0:01:13 > 0:01:16and we reckoned if you made it through to the final today,
0:01:16 > 0:01:17we'd take the rest.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- Would you?- That was the agreement.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- OK. That's a bit of pressure, isn't it?- How long is the rest?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Oh, it's another three verses. - 45 quartos.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- Three verses?- Huge, yeah.- OK.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- Yeah, go on. OK.- You're on.
0:01:31 > 0:01:37- That is a deal, then.- Done. Very good.- As my lookalike would say -
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Mr Edmonds.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- Oh, Lord!- Yeah, I get that.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- Kenny Rogers, I'd have settled on that.- Yeah, Kenny Rogers.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Not tempted to change your hair at all?
0:01:48 > 0:01:53- No! No, not at my age. I couldn't go spiky now.- Eh...
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Anyway, very best of luck. Let's hope we get you to the final
0:01:55 > 0:01:57and we get to hear the rest of that poem.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01And next, we welcome Rob and Ky. How do you two know each other?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04We used to work together on a local paper down in Weymouth
0:02:04 > 0:02:08but Rob has since left and is now...
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Working as a postman/ freelance writer.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Now, do you do all your postal deliveries on foot?
0:02:14 > 0:02:18I do. I have to push a big trolley, so it's quite heavy.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Do you wield your trolley back to the depot at the end of each day?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Yes.- I ask that for a reason, because quite often,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27certainly around London, you find them left on the street.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Really?- Just left without a care in the world!
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Anyway, so Rob, what did you used to write on the local...
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- what was the paper? - The Dorset Echo.- The Dorset Echo?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Yeah, we both worked on the sports desk,
0:02:38 > 0:02:40so pretty much gives away our strengths.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Right you are. Best of luck to the pair of you.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- Thanks.- Great to have you on the show.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Next we welcome back Malcolm and Laura.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49You were also on the show last time.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Malcolm, remind us how you know each other.- Uh, father and daughter.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54And Laura, what happened last time?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57We made it through to the head-to-head
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- and went sort of down 3-1, so we got knocked...- 2-1.
0:03:01 > 0:03:032-1. It's not as bad as 3-1.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- It's not as bad, no. - I'm a make-up artist!
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Yeah. Malcolm, anything that didn't come up last time
0:03:10 > 0:03:12you're hoping will come up today?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15There was no sports last time. It'd be nice to see that.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17OK, yeah. Laura, how about you?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Well, if sport comes up, I just hope I know something.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Um... History's not good for me.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26It's kind of happened, so I don't really need to know about it.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29LAUGHTER
0:03:29 > 0:03:34I'm hoping... I'm just hoping I know something. That's all, really.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Very best of luck to you, Malcolm and Laura.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Finally, we welcome Paul and Emma. How do you two know each other?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- We're married.- Where are you from, Emma?- Truro in Cornwall.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45So how did you meet, Paul and Emma?
0:03:45 > 0:03:51- It was at a pub-crawl, stroke... - A charity...- A charity pub crawl.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53At least we're not wearing what we were wearing them.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- What were you wearing? - I was dressed as a fat man,
0:03:56 > 0:04:00so I basically had my dad's suit on with lots of pillows shoved up.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I do that quite a lot.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04And Emma was dressed as a horse.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- As you do. - Both ends of the horse?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Just the front end of the horse. - Just the front end?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12The fact we were both naturally attracted to each other
0:04:12 > 0:04:14says a lot, really.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- That bodes well for the future.- One to a fat man, the other to a horse.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- What will be brilliant Pointless fodder for you?- '80s electro-pop.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Oh, very good. Favourite band?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Pet Shop Boys.- Very good. Emma?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Um... TV, movies, books.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30OK. Good, good, good.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Best of luck to you, Paul and Emma. Great to have you on the show.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35We'll find out more about you all as the show goes along.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40His IQ is nearly as high as his alcohol levels.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- It's my Pointless friend, Richard. - Hiya.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Hello.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Afternoon to you. - Top of the afternoon to you.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- Is that a new shirt?- It is. Do you like it?- Yeah.- Thank you.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59It's a nice colour. Suits you. We've a very well-travelled bunch today,
0:04:59 > 0:05:03a lot of people asking for Geography. Round One will be good for the well-travelled
0:05:03 > 0:05:06so that should suit everybody. For the other questions,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08I've borne Laura's worries in mind,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11so I won't do questions on anything that has ever happened.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- So don't worry about that.- Phew!
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Very good. Good precaution. Thank you so much, Richard.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20All our questions on Pointless were put to 100 people before the show.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23To get to the final round and be in with a chance of winning our jackpot
0:05:23 > 0:05:27contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30so the fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33the fewer points they'll score. What everyone's trying to do
0:05:33 > 0:05:36is to find a pointless answer, an answer none of our 100 people gave,
0:05:36 > 0:05:40and each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Dan and Martin won the jackpot last time,
0:05:42 > 0:05:44so today's jackpot starts at £1,000.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49APPLAUSE
0:05:52 > 0:05:55OK, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:05:55 > 0:05:58and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01The pair with the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05OK, our first category today is...
0:06:05 > 0:06:07There we are. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:06:07 > 0:06:09who'll go first, who'll go second.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Whoever's first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:06:18 > 0:06:22to name as many African countries in the northern hemisphere
0:06:22 > 0:06:25as they could. African countries in the northern hemisphere.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- Richard.- We're looking for any African country
0:06:28 > 0:06:31that is wholly or partly north of the equator, please.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34As always, by country, we mean a sovereign state
0:06:34 > 0:06:37which is a member of the UN. Best of luck. Good luck at home as well.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Thanks very much. Now, Mike and Jane,
0:06:39 > 0:06:44you all drew lots before the show, and today, you are going first.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47So Jane, what is the most obscure African country
0:06:47 > 0:06:50that is north of the equator you can think of?
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Malawi.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Malawi, says Jane. OK, let's see if that's right
0:06:54 > 0:06:57and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Malawi.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Bad luck, Jane. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06which scores you the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07- Richard.- Sorry, Jane.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- Entirely within the southern hemisphere, Malawi.- Now then, Rob.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16What is the most obscure African country in the northern hemisphere
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- you can think of? - There's a few I can think of,
0:07:18 > 0:07:22but I think I'm going to play it reasonably safe
0:07:22 > 0:07:24after that first answer,
0:07:24 > 0:07:25and say Ethiopia.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Ethiopia, says Rob. Ethiopia. Let's see if that's right,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31and if it is, how many of our 100 said Ethiopia.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34It's right.
0:07:39 > 0:07:4011!
0:07:40 > 0:07:42APPLAUSE
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Good score, Rob. 11 for Ethiopia.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Well played, Rob. Good start.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Landlocked country in the north-east of Africa.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55It's the most populous landlocked country in the world, Ethiopia.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- Bet you didn't know that. - I had no idea about that.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01- It's true.- I know now.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06- Now then, Laura.- Rob took... - The most obscure... Sorry?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Rob took my answer.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10So I'm going to have to go...
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- I'm sorry.- There are plenty. - There are plenty,
0:08:13 > 0:08:15but I just can't think north and south,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17so I'm going to go with Egypt.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Egypt. Let's see if that's right
0:08:19 > 0:08:21and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Egypt.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Very good.
0:08:27 > 0:08:2935.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32APPLAUSE
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Not a bad score, 35 for Egypt.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36It's a safe answer, Laura.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Well done. Do you want an Egypt fact?
0:08:38 > 0:08:39I would love one.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Cairo is the first city in Africa to have an underground tube network.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47There we go. Right, now then, Paul,
0:08:47 > 0:08:51obscure African country in the northern hemisphere.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54We've been to Lanzarote several times
0:08:54 > 0:08:57and they get hit by sandstorms from the Sahara,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00so I'm going to say the Western Sahara.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05Western Sahara, says Paul.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08I think that's quite a confident-looking face there.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10That could be a brilliant answer.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Let's see, Western Sahara,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14is it right? How many of our 100 people said Western Sahara?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18You didn't... Gah!
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Bad luck. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24which scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- Sorry, Paul.- Sorry, Paul,
0:09:26 > 0:09:30tough luck. It's a tricky one, Western Sahara. You see it on maps occasionally
0:09:30 > 0:09:33but it's not an official country, not a member of the UN.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Rob and Ky looking very, very strong on that 11 there.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Ethiopia, a great answer as it turns out.
0:09:43 > 0:09:4635 for Laura and Malcolm, relatively strong.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Then up we go to 100, where we find Jane and Mike,
0:09:48 > 0:09:50and Paul and Emma.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53So Mike and Emma, it'll be a tussle between the pair of you
0:09:53 > 0:09:56to see who stays and leaves at the end of the round.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00We'll come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places on the podium?
0:10:02 > 0:10:03OK, so we are looking for
0:10:03 > 0:10:06African countries in the northern hemisphere.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Emma, you are the high scorers,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11joint high scorers on 100 points, so we need a really low score.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Geography is a really terrible subject for me!
0:10:16 > 0:10:20But I have to say, my son has been hounding me
0:10:20 > 0:10:22around the house with his atlas.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25So I'm going to try Djibouti.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Djibouti. Let's see - Djibouti.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32Is it right? And, if it is, how many people said Djibouti?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35It's right! Very well done, Emma.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Look at that! 1! 1!
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Oh, nice!
0:10:44 > 0:10:45That's a great answer.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48The lowest score of the round so far. Takes your total up to 101.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Is it enough to see you through to the next round, I wonder. Richard.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Very well played indeed, Emma.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- In fact, we should say well played to your son.- Yes.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- What's his name?- Charlie. - Well done, Charlie. Very well played.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Malcolm, the high scorers on 101 are Emma and Paul.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06You're on 35, which means 65 or less
0:11:06 > 0:11:09will see you into the next round.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12African countries in the northern hemisphere is what we're after.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Er, I think Tunisia.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17There is your red line.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Get below that and you're through to the next round.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Let's see if Tunisia's right and how many people said it.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Absolutely right.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Yep, you've done it.
0:11:30 > 0:11:3124.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34APPLAUSE
0:11:34 > 0:11:3724 takes your total up to 59.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38Tunisia, Richard.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Well done, Malcolm. The most northerly of the African countries.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42While there is chaos all around them,
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Malcolm and Laura have done a couple of solid, unspectacular answers,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48which have seen you very safely through.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Ky. You are on 11.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52The high scorers on 101 are Emma and Paul,
0:11:52 > 0:11:56which means a score of 89 or less - absolutely fine.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58So remember, we're looking for African countries
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- in the northern hemisphere. - Er, I think...
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I'm going to play it safe and hopefully get us through.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I'm going to say Libya.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Let's see if Libya's right, and how many people said it.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Yep, you're through. Well done.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- 22! - APPLAUSE
0:12:19 > 0:12:21The lowest joint score of the round.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Libya.- Well played, Ky. Exactly the right tactic.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28The thing about Libya is, since the overthrow of Colonel Gaddafi,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31one of the world's great trivia questions has been lost,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34which is, what's the only country which has a single-coloured flag?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37It was Libya - it used to be green and now it's all sorts of colours.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Now then, Mike.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40Oh-ho, the moment of truth.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Yeah, a poem-saving answer.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- A poem-saving pointless answer. - Yeah.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Burundi.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52OK, Mike is saying Burundi. Let's see if Burundi is right,
0:12:52 > 0:12:56and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Burundi.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Oh, no! Mike!
0:13:02 > 0:13:03I'm sorry.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Burundi, an incorrect answer,
0:13:06 > 0:13:09which, I'm afraid, means you score the maximum of 100 points,
0:13:09 > 0:13:11that takes your total up to 200. I'm sorry.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Phew-ee, Emma and Paul.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Nervy couple of seconds there.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- Richard.- Yeah, sorry, Mike, in the southern hemisphere as well.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21You'd have gone through
0:13:21 > 0:13:24if you'd obeyed the first rule of Pointless Club.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26What's the first rule of Pointless Club?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- Central African Republic. - Always say Central African Republic.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32There's a whole bunch of other pointless answers. Let's take a look.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Benin. There's our old friend, the Central African Republic -
0:13:35 > 0:13:38the most pointless of all pointless answers. Gabon was pointless.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Well done if you said any of these at home. South Sudan.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Welcome to the Pointless Club, South Sudan.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Sao Tome and Principe, Togo.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Well done if you got any of those pointless ones,
0:13:53 > 0:13:55but Central African Republic would have seen them through.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Always, always give that as an answer.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Didn't work so well on the Pet Shop Boys singles round we did, did it?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Only cos it was a B-side. - It was a B-side, yeah.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06Let's take a look at the worst answers,
0:14:06 > 0:14:08the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10We've already had a couple of them.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12There's Tunisia, we heard from Malcolm,
0:14:12 > 0:14:15and the top two were the same, actually,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Morocco scored 35 and Egypt 35, so two of the top three answers there
0:14:18 > 0:14:20but no incorrect answers, so you're through.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Thanks very much, Richard.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24So at the end of our first round, the pair who will be leaving us,
0:14:24 > 0:14:27the pair with the highest score, I'm afraid, Mike and Jane.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30That's bad luck. And this is your second appearance, I'm afraid,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32so this is where we say goodbye.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34It was second round last time.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36We had great hopes for you today,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39but it's the 200 Club, Mike and Jane. Thank you for playing.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Mike and Jane. - APPLAUSE
0:14:42 > 0:14:45But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53We are down to three pairs, and at the end of this round,
0:14:53 > 0:14:56it will be two pairs for the head-to-head.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Rob and Ky, on the strength of that round,
0:14:58 > 0:15:01you would appear to be the pair to beat
0:15:01 > 0:15:05or maybe that just fell very, very well for you. I don't know.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Paul and Emma, possibly a little bit unlucky there,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Western Sahara not being a country and all.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12And then Djibouti! So what other books has your son
0:15:12 > 0:15:15been chasing you around with before Pointless?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- Just the atlas.- Just the atlas.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- So all other rounds, all bets are off now, are they?- Absolutely.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22OK, and Malcolm and Laura, as Richard said,
0:15:22 > 0:15:26lovely, strong, consistent answers there. Very safe.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28OK, anything can happen in this round.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Very best of luck to all pairs. Our category is...
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Photography. Can you decide who's going first, who's going second?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46And our question concerns...
0:15:49 > 0:15:52First Names of Famous Photographers. Richard.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55We're going to give you the names of six famous photographers
0:15:55 > 0:15:57on each pass, along with their year of birth.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Going to give you their surname and first initial,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03you just have to tell us what that first initial stands for.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05An obscure answer will score fewer points.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Incorrect answers, as always, will score 100 points.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10It's going to be 12 photographers' first names to guess at home.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Thanks very much. We are looking for
0:16:12 > 0:16:14the first names of these photographers,
0:16:14 > 0:16:15and we have got...
0:16:30 > 0:16:32I'll read those all one more time.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46There you are, Ky.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Six photographers with their initials,
0:16:50 > 0:16:51and what I want is the first name
0:16:51 > 0:16:54of the most obscure one you can find on that board,
0:16:54 > 0:16:55to which you know the answer.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01No, I'm struggling. I'm just going to have to take
0:17:01 > 0:17:05a complete stab at this and say David Bailey.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08David Bailey. It's earned you a nod from Rob.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:17:11 > 0:17:13let's see how many people knew that answer. David Bailey.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Absolutely right.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Ooh! 82.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Wow, 82.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26It's a whole lot better than 100. It's 82. Richard.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- Was that a guess?- Yeah, completely.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Wow, saved him 18 points.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Didn't it just? Very famous, as you can see. 82.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- That's a big score for anyone.- Isn't it?
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Laura.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40OK, I know two others,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43and I don't know which one is going to be the lowest.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44So I'm going to go with Terence Donovan.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Terence Donovan, there you are.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Terence Donovan from the top of the page.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Let's see if that's right
0:17:50 > 0:17:53and if it is, let's see how many people knew Terence Donovan.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Very well done.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Down it goes, still going down.
0:18:01 > 0:18:0310! Wow.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:18:06 > 0:18:07What about that, Laura?
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Very well done, indeed. Terence Donovan.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Well played, Laura. Of a very similar vintage to David Bailey.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16Remember the Robert Palmer video,
0:18:16 > 0:18:20- Addicted To Love?- Mmm. - He directed that as well.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- Did he?- Yeah.- And there was a rumour that Terence was the...
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Terry and Julie was Terence Donovan and Julie Christie
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- in Waterloo Sunset. - Terence Stamp, I think.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Is it? Of course it's Terence Stamp!
0:18:31 > 0:18:34We can cut all that out so I look like less of a fool.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Why would it be Terence Donovan hanging out with Julie...?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- That doesn't make any sense. - I don't know.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Yeah, good. Luckily, thank goodness for edit.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I think that's quite humanising, I think they should keep that in.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51- Do you think?- Yeah, it's quite nice. - There we go. Now, then. Emma,
0:18:51 > 0:18:53you're the last person to have this board.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56You can talk us through it. Fill in all those first names.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59I've never heard of the bottom two.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02I think it's something like Mario Testino or something like that,
0:19:02 > 0:19:05and I think it must be Alexander Armstrong-Jones.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11LAUGHTER
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I'm going to go for Mario Testino.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Mario Testino says Emma.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Mario Testino. Let's see if that's right
0:19:17 > 0:19:20and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Absolutely right.
0:19:28 > 0:19:3017! Wow.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Good choice of answer.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Lovely low score. Mario Testino.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Good answer. I wish you'd gone for Alexander Armstrong-Jones.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42I'd have loved that. Yeah, Mario Testino,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45one of the most famous fashion and celebrity photographers in the world.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Took one of the most famous shots ever of Princess Diana.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Famous session. Let's fill in the rest of the board.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52It's not Alexander Armstrong-Jones...
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- Antony.- Antony Armstrong-Jones, absolutely right.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Lord Snowdon, probably better known as. 33 points.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Do you know...the bottom, do you know either of those two?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- I know Diane Arbus. - Diane Arbus, absolutely right,
0:20:03 > 0:20:06the amazing American photographer, would have scored you four.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09And this one is the guy who took the shots for Joshua Tree, the U2 album.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Also is a film director since then.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Anton Corbijn. Would have scored five points.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Very well done if you got that.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Diane Arbus the best answer on that board.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Halfway through the round, let's look at the scores
0:20:20 > 0:20:22as they stand. Laura and Malcolm
0:20:22 > 0:20:26looking very strong indeed. Lovely low score of 10 from Laura.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Keep that sort of scoring up, Malcolm,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31and you should see yourselves through to the head-to-head.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Up to 17, where we find Emma and Paul.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35And then 82, Ky! David Bailey!
0:20:35 > 0:20:37So much more famous than all the others.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Did you know any of the others at all?
0:20:39 > 0:20:40- No.- Right, OK.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Not even Alexander Armstrong-Jones? - No.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Rob, you did a bit of nodding there.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Which may just mean you'd heard of David Bailey
0:20:49 > 0:20:52or that you know your photographers. Don't say anything.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54We'll discover in the next pass,
0:20:54 > 0:20:57but we're going to need a very low-scoring answer from you.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:21:02 > 0:21:06OK, we're going to put six more photographers on the board
0:21:06 > 0:21:08and here they come. We have got...
0:21:21 > 0:21:24I'll read those all again.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32We're looking for the first names of these photographers,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34and you're trying to find the one
0:21:34 > 0:21:37you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Paul, the high scorers
0:21:38 > 0:21:40are Rob and Ky on 82.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42You're on 17.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46That means a score of 64 or less will keep you in the game.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- They might not be the high scorers for long.- Do you know any of these?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51I think I know the top one,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54but I think I'm going to go for the bottom one.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Might be very obvious. I might be completely wrong.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- I'm going to say Linda McCartney. - You think you might be wrong?
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Well, I could be very wrong.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04I'm trying to keep my record up of 100 every round.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Have you heard of someone called Linda McCartney?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09I have. But not as a photographer.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11OK, well, let's see if that's right
0:22:11 > 0:22:15and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Linda McCartney.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Here is your red line.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Get below that, you're through to the next round. Is Paul right?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22How many people said Linda McCartney?
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Absolutely right.
0:22:26 > 0:22:2773.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:22:30 > 0:22:3273 takes your total up to 90.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- Richard.- Yes, Linda McCartney started off as a photographer,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38and a very good one.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Right. Very good. Rob, a lifeline. Phew!
0:22:40 > 0:22:43That might be enough to see you through.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45You just have to score seven or less when it comes to you.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Now then, Malcolm, you're on ten. On Easy Street. Paul and Emma
0:22:49 > 0:22:51are the high scorers on 90,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53so a score of 79 or less, and you and Laura just amble through
0:22:53 > 0:22:55to the head-to-head.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58I'm quite pleased to be possibly on Easy Street,
0:22:58 > 0:23:02cos there's only one I know there. It's Patrick Lichfield.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Patrick Lichfield.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Here's your red line.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Below that, through you go. Let's see if Patrick Lichfield is right
0:23:09 > 0:23:12and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Absolutely right, and you are through. Very well done.
0:23:17 > 0:23:1837.
0:23:20 > 0:23:2237 takes your total up to 47.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Well done, Malcolm. Safely through again.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Through to another head-to-head.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Another lord, Lord Lichfield. They're all at it, aren't they?
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Known for his travel photography,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35but also lots of royal portraits, as you might imagine.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Rob.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41The moment of truth. Paul and Emma are on 90. You're on 82.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44A score of seven or less will keep you in the game. Seven or less.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47What do you think of this board?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Erm, there's one I know.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- You're going to have to score low.- Yeah.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I'll go with Annie Leibovitz and hope it's less than seven,
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- but probably isn't.- Annie Leibovitz. Let's see if that's right
0:23:57 > 0:24:01and if it is, let's see how many people said Annie Leibovitz.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Ohh! 19.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10APPLAUSE
0:24:10 > 0:24:14It's a good answer. Nice low score, but not quite low enough.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15That takes your total
0:24:15 > 0:24:17to an unbeatable 101. Richard.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Yes, a correct answer, though. Annie Leibovitz.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21She's photographed everybody,
0:24:21 > 0:24:25including our very own Queen rather famously a few years ago.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27A couple of answers up there would have won it for you.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- Do you know Cartier-Bresson? - Er, Henri.- Absolutely right.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32Would have scored you ten points.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35He was the founder, or one of the founders, of the Magnum Photo Agency.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Do you know why they named it the Magnum Photo Agency?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- No.- In their first meeting, they had a magnum of champagne.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44They thought it would be appropriate.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46That's the French for you. They don't muck about.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49The other two would have seen you through. Do you know Lachapelle?
0:24:49 > 0:24:51- David?- David Lachapelle, absolutely.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55American society fashion photographer. Would have scored four.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- And the last one.- Robert. - Robert. Absolutely right.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Would have scored one point. He's the guy who took
0:25:01 > 0:25:04the famous photo of the French couple kissing outside the Hotel de Ville.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Very well done if you got that.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Very well done to anyone who got all 12 of those. Very impressive.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Very good. OK, thank you, Richard.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14At the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score
0:25:14 > 0:25:15is Rob and Ky.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Oh, dear. Such a strong start in Round One.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- I'll take the blame. - I was going to guess at David,
0:25:20 > 0:25:24but I knew Annie was correct. I was just hoping that it was less...
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Yeah. Well, I think, actually before, she was,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29obviously, a good deal less well known.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32I think after taking the photograph of the Queen,
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- she became better known. - That's why I know her.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- It's probably the same for a lot of people.- Yeah.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Well, that's a great shame because David Bailey
0:25:39 > 0:25:41was an expensive mistake, Ky.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44You're going to have to find some way next time of atoning for that.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45I'll try.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Isn't that right, Rob? Ky can carry the can.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- Yes, that is correct. - You've been great contestants.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52We'll look forward to seeing you next time.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Rob and Ky, thanks very much for playing.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57But for the remaining two pairs,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59things are about to get even more exciting
0:25:59 > 0:26:02as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09So, congratulations Malcolm and Laura, Paul and Emma.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12You are only one round away from the final
0:26:12 > 0:26:15and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £1,000.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17APPLAUSE
0:26:17 > 0:26:19OK, you're now going head-to-head,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22and the first pair to win two questions
0:26:22 > 0:26:23will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26The great news is you can now confer.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28You are teams now.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32So Malcolm and Laura, here you are for the second time.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33How does it feel?
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- Feels good, but...- We didn't think we'd get this far.- No, we didn't.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- Do you think the advantage is with you, being returners?- Not at all.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- Absolutely, yes.- Really?- Oh, yes.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45We'll grind 'em into the ground.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48I have to say, yours has been a stately,
0:26:48 > 0:26:53sure-footed progress through the game, whereas Paul and Emma,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56yours has been somewhat mercurial, I'd have to say.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59By the skin of your Djibouti teeth, as well. Whoa!
0:26:59 > 0:27:02And very lucky there with Mario Testino.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07But there we are. Such is the luck that decides Pointless games.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20OK, so here is your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:23 > 0:27:24Richard.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27We're going to show you five photos of actors playing Robin Hood.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Can you name the actors and pick the most obscure? Good luck.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35OK, let's reveal our five Robin Hoods and here they are.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36We've got...
0:27:46 > 0:27:49OK, there we are. Five Robin Hoods.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Now then, Malcolm and Laura,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54you've played best throughout the show so far so you go first.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57(Any ideas?)
0:27:57 > 0:27:59(Obviously it's E, isn't it?)
0:27:59 > 0:28:01OK, have we got an answer?
0:28:01 > 0:28:05Erm, yeah, we're going for E and I believe it's an Errol Flynn.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09E, Errol Flynn, say Malcolm and Laura. Errol Flynn, E.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Paul and Emma, talk us through the rest of the board.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14OK, I don't know who A is,
0:28:14 > 0:28:15B is Russell Crowe,
0:28:15 > 0:28:18C is Kevin Costner
0:28:18 > 0:28:23and I think that D is Cary Elwes.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25I think that's his name.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30And as B and C are going to be a higher score than E,
0:28:30 > 0:28:32I think we're going to have to go with D.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36I could be wrong but I think D is Cary Elwes.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39- I think that's how you pronounce it. - Cary Elwes.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43C... That sounds like a very good answer - weird name.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44CHUCKLING
0:28:44 > 0:28:48OK, so, Emma, you're saying Cary Elwes.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Can you spell his surname?
0:28:51 > 0:28:52Oh!
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Now you're asking!
0:28:56 > 0:29:01Erm, I think it's something along the lines of E-L-W-E-S.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- Something like that.- E-L-W-E-S. - Something along those sort of lines.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06OK, very good.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Malcolm and Laura, you have said E, Errol Flynn.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11E, Errol Flynn, let's see if that's right
0:29:11 > 0:29:14and if it is let's see how many people said E was Errol Flynn.
0:29:17 > 0:29:18Absolutely right!
0:29:22 > 0:29:2325!
0:29:23 > 0:29:25APPLAUSE
0:29:30 > 0:29:3225 for Errol Flynn.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36Paul and Emma, you have gone for Cary Elwes.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39You've said Cary Elwes but you spelt it E-L-W-E-S.
0:29:39 > 0:29:44Let's see if it's right and if it is let's see how many people said it.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Absolutely right, well done!
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Will it beat 25?
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Yes!
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Very well done indeed, Paul and Emma.
0:29:53 > 0:29:54- APPLAUSE - Oh, dear!
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Ten beats 25, which means after one question,
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- Paul and Emma, you are up 1-0. - Well played, Emma.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Good answer and good spelling as well.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06It's Cary El-wes, is how you pronounce it.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08That's from Robin Hood Men In Tights, the Mel Brooks film.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Errol Flynn also a good answer at 25.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15The best answer on the board is A and that's from 1922.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Very well done for 2 points if you said Douglas Fairbanks.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19- AUDIENCE MEMBER:- Yes!
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Douglas Fairbanks.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Judging from the yelp of, "Yes," from the audience,
0:30:23 > 0:30:26someone in the audience got it, which is very well played.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Let's take a look at the others.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31B is Russell Crowe, of course, in the Ridley Scott film.
0:30:31 > 0:30:3358 points that would have scored you.
0:30:33 > 0:30:39In the battle of the big guys, Kevin Costner would have scored 61,
0:30:39 > 0:30:40so just beats Russell Crowe.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44- Russell Crowe will be...fuming! - He will not like that. Yeah.
0:30:44 > 0:30:45Thank you very much, Richard.
0:30:45 > 0:30:50So, at the end of that round, Paul and Emma are up 1-0.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Here comes your second question.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Malcolm and Laura, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56Very best of luck.
0:30:56 > 0:30:57It concerns...
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- Richard?- We're simply going to show you the names of five UK cities
0:31:05 > 0:31:06but they are in anagram form.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Unscramble them and give us the most obscure. Good luck.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11See if you can get all five of these at home.
0:31:11 > 0:31:16OK, here are our five anagrams of UK cities and we have got...
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Now then, Paul and Emma, you can have a moment,
0:31:33 > 0:31:35but it is you to answer first.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37And, Malcolm and Laura, I'm just going to remind you
0:31:37 > 0:31:39you have to win this question.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44OK, then, Paul and Emma.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48Well, we think we know three of them,
0:31:48 > 0:31:51but we're going to go for "busy lairs" as Salisbury.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Salisbury. Salisbury.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Malcolm and Laura?
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- (Lancaster?)- (Yeah.)
0:32:00 > 0:32:04- Er, we're going for the top one. We think it's Lancaster.- Lancaster.
0:32:05 > 0:32:10OK, so, we have, "busy lairs", Salisbury, from Paul and Emma.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Let's see if that's right and if it is
0:32:12 > 0:32:15let's see how many of our people said Salisbury for "busy lairs".
0:32:16 > 0:32:17Absolutely right!
0:32:22 > 0:32:2319!
0:32:23 > 0:32:26APPLAUSE
0:32:26 > 0:32:2919, for Salisbury.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31So, Malcolm and Laura,
0:32:31 > 0:32:37to stay in the game, "ancestral", Lancaster, has to beat 19.
0:32:37 > 0:32:38Best of luck.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41How many of our 100 people said Lancaster for "ancestral"?
0:32:43 > 0:32:45It's right.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Needs to go below 19 if you're going to stay...
0:32:48 > 0:32:49Oh! 23.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- GROANING AND APPLAUSE - Oh, dear!
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Well, very well done, Paul and Emma.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Salisbury, 19, beating Lancaster, 23,
0:33:00 > 0:33:03means after only two questions you are through to the final, 2-0.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06You had a bit of luck getting to the head-to-head
0:33:06 > 0:33:08but you haven't needed any luck in it.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Two brilliant answers, 2-0. Lancaster, so unlucky.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15A couple of answers would've won you the point. Let's take a look at them.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Xander, do you want to take a look? "Nerviness"?
0:33:17 > 0:33:19- Inverness.- Inverness, exactly, but that's a big scorer.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21That's 68. "Liked a few"?
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- Hang on.- It's a city of West Yorkshire.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Oh, Wakefield!
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Wakefield, absolutely right. Would have got you 11.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- The best answer on the board... - Graham?!
0:33:30 > 0:33:32..is Graham and every viewer in Northern Ireland
0:33:32 > 0:33:34is now screaming at their TV screens.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- Armagh!- Armagh! That's exactly right.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41- Armagh would have scored eight points.- Blimey!
0:33:41 > 0:33:44It's got two cathedrals, Armagh, and they're both called St Patrick's.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- That's nice.- That's nice. - That is nice.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50But well done if you got all of those.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51Thank you very much, Richard.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53What a great... that was a very good round.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- Really hard some of those. - Yeah, they're difficult, aren't they?
0:33:56 > 0:33:59So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,
0:33:59 > 0:34:00I'm afraid, Malcolm and Laura,
0:34:00 > 0:34:02you've done so well throughout the show so far.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04In fact, both shows.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Straight through to the head-to-head in each one
0:34:06 > 0:34:10and I'm afraid, great answers though you gave...
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- Anagrams, they're not our strongest point!- Oh, they're hard, though.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15We actually hoped they didn't come up but...
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Bad luck, bad luck! But you've done so well.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20A very creditable performance over the two shows.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Sorry we have to say goodbye to you now.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26- Malcolm and Laura, thank you so much for playing. Great game. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:34:26 > 0:34:29But for Paul and Emma it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30APPLAUSE
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Well, congratulations, Paul and Emma.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39You deftly fought off all the competition
0:34:39 > 0:34:41and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:34:49 > 0:34:53and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55- There it is. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Paul, at the beginning of the show,
0:34:59 > 0:35:02when you gave the answer, Western Sahara..?
0:35:03 > 0:35:05It was on the map I looked at yesterday.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Richard says... "It's on the map, oh, it's on the map!"
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Every time countries come up, what does Richard always say?
0:35:11 > 0:35:14And by countries I mean anything under a sovereign state
0:35:14 > 0:35:16that is recognised by the UN - I know it by heart!
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Yeah, I still have to read it.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- I must've done that maybe 200 times. - Yeah, you must've done.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Anyway, you've made it.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26A little bit of thanks from Emma, there.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Who did all the brilliant anagram work in the last round?
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- I don't...- Both of us, really.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33I mean, you did get Lancaster, which I hadn't seen.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Very good. It was a good team effort, there.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39And you made a very clean sweep of that last round as well.
0:35:39 > 0:35:412-0, very impressive. Now, the rules are very simple,
0:35:41 > 0:35:45to win that money all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48We haven't had any pointless answers today.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Find one and you'll leave with that £1,000 jackpot.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Firstly, you've got to choose a category
0:35:52 > 0:35:54and you have a choice of five options and they are...
0:36:05 > 0:36:07I suppose comedy films?
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- What do you think? - That would be my favourite.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13Authors is no good for me, Sportsmen is no good for you.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- Playwrights would completely depend who it was.- Yeah.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- Soul Divas is neither here nor there.- No, no, no.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21- No, I think it would HAVE to be comedy films.- Comedy films.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Comedy films it is. OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:36:24 > 0:36:25Here it comes.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:36:31 > 0:36:34..as they could. Richard?
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Yeah, up to 2012,
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Carry On Columbus was the last Carry On film made, in 1992.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Can you name any of the actors credited with an appearance
0:36:41 > 0:36:42in that film, please?
0:36:42 > 0:36:47OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:47 > 0:36:48All you need to win that £1,000
0:36:48 > 0:36:51is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53- Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59There they are, your time starts now.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01- Julian Clary.- I was thinking that.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- Probably Steve Coogan?- Was he?
0:37:04 > 0:37:08What about the young guy who was in all the old Carry On movies?
0:37:08 > 0:37:10He was a lot older when they did that, that last one.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12- Jim Dale, was it?- Is it?
0:37:12 > 0:37:14- Could be.- Jim Dale. - Something like that.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Possible.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- Erm, I haven't seen it! - I haven't seen it!
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Just trying to think of...
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Why does the name Sherrie Hewson keep popping in my head?
0:37:28 > 0:37:30I don't know why that is. Was she in it?
0:37:30 > 0:37:32You don't think the one that was in Corrie,
0:37:32 > 0:37:35that was in Carry On Cleo, do you think she came back for...?
0:37:35 > 0:37:37That's who I'm thinking of, the other Corrie woman.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- Mm.- What was her name? - I don't know, you said it!
0:37:40 > 0:37:41- Oh!- Erm...
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Erm... Oh!
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Erm...
0:37:47 > 0:37:49- Were there any other Carry On actors?- Ten seconds left.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- None of the old favourites were in it, were they?- I don't know.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- Bernard Bresslaw or any of those sort of people?- He was dead by then.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57- Was he?- Yeah.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00- Have we said three people? - OK, your time is up.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04We were looking for actors in Carry On Columbus
0:38:04 > 0:38:06and I now need your three answers.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- OK.- We're going to go for Julian Clary...
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- Julian Clary.- Steve Coogan?
0:38:10 > 0:38:16- If you say so.- Steve Coogan. - And we'll pot shot Jim Dale.- Yeah.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- Jim Dale.- Jim Dale.- Yeah.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Now, OK, of those three, which are we going to put last?
0:38:21 > 0:38:22Your most likely shot at a point.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24Julian Clary's 100% in it, we know that,
0:38:24 > 0:38:26- so, we might as well put him last.- Yes.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29OK, Julian Clary goes last. Who should we put first?
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- Your least favourite.- Steve Coogan first because I don't...
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Was he even around then? So, I think... Well...
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- He was alive then!- He was alive. - He was alive but was he...?
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Yeah, put Steve Coogan first.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41- Put him first anyway. - OK, we'll put him first.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43And we'll put Jim Dale in the middle.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47Let's pop those on the board in that order. We have got...
0:38:49 > 0:38:53OK, so we were looking for actors in Carry On Columbus.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Your first answer, a bit of a shot in the dark, Steve Coogan.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Your least confident answer.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02You only have to find one pointless answer to win that £1,000 jackpot.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05OK, so, let's see, Steve Coogan, is that right
0:39:05 > 0:39:09and if it is how many people said Steve Coogan?
0:39:14 > 0:39:17An incorrect answer, it turns out. So, not a pointless answer.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21Only two more shots at that jackpot of £1,000.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25- Paul, what would you do with £1,000? - Erm, put it towards a boat.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29- A boat?- A boat.- A little boat. - A little boat.- A little boat.- Yes.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31OK, Emma, anything else you'd like to do with it?
0:39:31 > 0:39:35- Our bath is leaking so maybe a new bath rather than a boat!- New bath.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36SHE LAUGHS
0:39:36 > 0:39:40You take the old bath out, you can have that as a boat -
0:39:40 > 0:39:42- put a plug in it, obviously. - Obviously!
0:39:42 > 0:39:45And there you are - two birds one stone.
0:39:45 > 0:39:50OK, now then, we're looking for actors in Carry On Columbus.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Let's hope nobody said your next answer, which is Jim Dale.
0:39:53 > 0:39:54Has to be correct, has to be pointless
0:39:54 > 0:39:56for you to win that jackpot of £1,000.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Let's see, is Jim Dale right?
0:40:00 > 0:40:03It is right! It is right.
0:40:03 > 0:40:09So, if this goes all the way down to 0 you leave here with £1,000
0:40:09 > 0:40:11and you are one step nearer to having a new...
0:40:11 > 0:40:12APPLAUSE
0:40:12 > 0:40:15..bath, I was about to say!
0:40:15 > 0:40:1616.
0:40:17 > 0:40:2116 people said Jim Dale
0:40:21 > 0:40:24so everything is now riding on Julian Clary.
0:40:24 > 0:40:25ALEXANDER SIGHS
0:40:25 > 0:40:29It's your last chance at today's jackpot. £1,000.
0:40:29 > 0:40:30Julian Clary has to be right.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33You both said it, Julian Clary, almost immediately.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36- I wonder if that means all our 100 people were the same?- Probably.
0:40:36 > 0:40:37- Or...- Absolutely.
0:40:37 > 0:40:42..maybe you just happened to know it through some clever thing?
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Clairvoyance.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46OK, we are looking for actors in Carry On Columbus.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Your third and final answer is Julian Clary,
0:40:49 > 0:40:52let's see, your most confident answer, let's see if it's right.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57It is absolutely right.
0:40:59 > 0:41:00Down it goes.
0:41:00 > 0:41:05Steve Coogan an incorrect answer, Jim Dale down to 16.
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Let's see...
0:41:06 > 0:41:07Oh! 7!
0:41:07 > 0:41:09APPLAUSE
0:41:14 > 0:41:16- Well, you got it absolutely in the right order.- Yeah.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20First one incorrect, Jim Dale, and then down to 7 for Julian Clary.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23So, unfortunately, I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that
0:41:23 > 0:41:24all-important pointless answer
0:41:24 > 0:41:27so you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000,
0:41:27 > 0:41:28which rolls over on to the next show,

0:41:46 > 0:41:49Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.

0:42:12 > 0:42:15Richard Wilson, who played Don Juan Felipe, and Tony Slattery.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17All of those pointless answers -
0:42:17 > 0:42:19very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23Thanks very much indeed. Did you know any of those?

0:42:26 > 0:42:28I've just never seen the film so...
0:42:28 > 0:42:31At least the woman whose name we couldn't think of
0:42:31 > 0:42:33- wasn't on the list!- Yeah, the woman I think you're thinking of
0:42:33 > 0:42:34- was Amanda Barrie...- Right.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36..who was in Carry On Cleo.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39- She wasn't in Carry On Columbus - which is a relief.- It is a relief.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Huge relief! Well, unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you
