0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:29the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33- Let's meet today's players. - APPLAUSE
0:00:35 > 0:00:39First off, we welcome back Daley and Phil. You were on the show last time.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Everyone, of course, gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- This is your second chance. Remind us, Daley, how you know each other. - We are brothers.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48You're brothers? Phil, what happened last time?
0:00:48 > 0:00:51We got to the head-to-head and we lost.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56- You did really well until the head-to-head.- It was OK, then I think nerves got the better of us.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- What are you hoping will come up today, Daley? - I'd like to see sport.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- Mm-hmm.- That is, you know, it's a comfort zone for us.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Anything you particularly wouldn't like to see come up, Phil?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Not too brilliant on politics, really, things like that.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10The stuff that I should know, I don't,
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- and the stuff that I shouldn't, I do.- Well, you did very well last time.- Thank you.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17I have every hope you'll do just as well, maybe even better, today.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22Very best of luck. Great to have you back. Next we welcome back Naomi and Phillip, also on the show last time.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Naomi, remind us how you know each other.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- We're friends.- So, then, what happened last time, Naomi? Talk us through it.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- Ooh, it was a bit of a disaster in the maritime history.- Mm-hmm.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36And Phillip, you gave us Henry VIII's ship was the Jolly Roger.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38LAUGHTER
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- Yes, I did!- Yeah.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Anyway, that's all behind us.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- Phillip, what would be your dream category today?- Erm...
0:01:46 > 0:01:51Quite good on airlines, just from looking at the tailfins. Erm...
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- Have you always been fascinated by that?- I'm quite fascinated with the jet age,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58like the early era of the air stewardess,
0:01:58 > 0:02:03and I run a Facebook group that some of the members are ex-Pan Am stewardesses,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06and they send me things through the mail.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08I bet they do!
0:02:08 > 0:02:09LAUGHTER
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- That is a Facebook group I want to get involved in.- Yeah! Wow.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Well, that's quite niche. - HE LAUGHS
0:02:16 > 0:02:19All right, well very, very best of luck to you, Naomi and Phillip.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23And next, we welcome Kat and Claire. Now, how do you to know each other?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Where colleagues, we work in the same place.- Where do you work, Kat?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29We work in central London in citizenship education.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30What does that involve, Claire?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33I'm outreach, so I actually travel all around the UK,
0:02:33 > 0:02:37and I mainly train teachers in how to teach about politics.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Do you get an impression, Richard, these two are spies? - LAUGHTER
0:02:40 > 0:02:45- Spies?- Yeah, Spies.- Yeah, they're certainly not what they say they are.- He IS a spy.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47No, I'm not a spy.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Do you remember, I told you? LAUGHTER
0:02:49 > 0:02:53I'm not... No, I'm not. No, I worked for MFI briefly.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- LAUGHTER - Oh, so you did!- Yeah.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- Kat.- Yes.- What would you like to see come up today?- Erm... I wouldn't mind a bit of science.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I used to work at the Science Museum, so my science knowledge is OK.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08- Yeah.- Or food and drink, I'm quite interested in restaurants and eating out.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Kat, Claire, a very warm welcome to Pointless, lovely to have you here.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14And finally, we've got Andy and Gordon. Now, how do you to know each other?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18We've been mates for the best part of about 11 years.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21So how did you meet, Gordon?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I am a pub quizmaster, and have been for quite a few years,
0:03:24 > 0:03:30and Andy was one of my quizzers, and we just became mates through that.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35Of all the many, many subjects you know all about, Gordon, because we quizmasters know everything...
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Oh, yes!- What do you hope is going to come up?- Erm...
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Some sport, football...
0:03:40 > 0:03:42And as far as Andy is concerned, I imagine literature
0:03:42 > 0:03:44and books would be a good one for Andy.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- What's your vintage of literature? - My vintage of literature? - Yeah. What genre?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Modern literature, I think. I work in a library on the Isle of Wight.- Oh, do you?- Yeah.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56- I've worked in libraries all my career.- Oh, really?- So I should know about books.- OK, well, keep it down.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- THEY CHUCKLE - Erm...
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- Gordon, what do you do?- I'm a prison officer.- On the Isle of Wight? - On the Isle of Wight, yes.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- At the famous prison? - At the famous prison, yes.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08It's lovely to have you on the show, very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11We'll find out more about all of you as we go along.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17He's been choppered in, his bodyguards are in position...
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Yes, they are, it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21APPLAUSE Hiya.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Hello!
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Hello.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- Afternoon, Xander. - Top of the afternoon to you.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- It's great to have a spy, well, two spies, on the show, isn't it?- Yeah!
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Yeah.- It's really cool.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Perhaps they're here because one of the other contestants is a suspect.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41LAUGHTER
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Do you know who I think the enemy operative is?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I know exactly who it is.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48(I think it's Andy.)
0:04:48 > 0:04:50I don't think he works in a library.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52ALEXANDER CHUCKLES
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I think he works in a hollowed out volcano is where I think HE works.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57LAUGHTER
0:04:57 > 0:04:59With his mate who works in a "prison."
0:04:59 > 0:05:00LAUGHTER
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Mmm... Thanks very much, Richard.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Now, all our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10In order to get to the final round and be in with a chance of winning our jackpot, our contestants
0:05:10 > 0:05:13must find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17So the fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer, the fewer the points they'll score.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Now, what everyone's trying to do, of course, is to find a pointless answer.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23That's an answer none of our 100 people gave, and each time that happens,
0:05:23 > 0:05:28we'll add 250 quid to the jackpot. Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32So today's jackpot starts off at an impressive £4,250.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50Now, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer, and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated,
0:05:54 > 0:05:55so take care that that's not you.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58OK, our first category today is:
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13And our question concerns...
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Famous Hughs, Richard.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21On each pass, we're going to show you seven descriptions of famous people
0:06:21 > 0:06:25who are known by the name Hugh. Give us the most obscure answer, you score fewer points.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Give an incorrect answer, though, you score 100 points.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31There'll be 14 in all to guess in this round,
0:06:31 > 0:06:34so famous Hughs, it's a Who's Who of huge Hughs.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36LAUGHTER
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Right, now, Daley and Phil, you all drew lots before the show,
0:06:39 > 0:06:43and today you are going first, so here are our famous Hughs.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Here they are. We have got:
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I'll read those all one last time. Here we go...
0:07:27 > 0:07:29There we are.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Seven Hughs.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32- I know three of them. - You know three?- Yeah.
0:07:32 > 0:07:39Erm... I'm going to go with Steve Punt, the partner being Hugh Dennis.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Hugh Dennis, the comedy partner of Steve Punt.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people knew that answer.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Hugh Dennis.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Absolutely right.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53- 30. - APPLAUSE
0:07:56 > 0:07:58I think that's a pretty reasonable score.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Richard.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04Well done, Daley, now most famously the put-upon father in Outnumbered. Real name is Pete Dennis.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- So it is.- Yeah.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09OK, now then, Phillip. How's about these Hughs?
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Erm...
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I know two of them.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I think I'm going to go with my risky one
0:08:14 > 0:08:19and that is, if you're not really familiar with that type of magazine,
0:08:19 > 0:08:22then you're not really going to know who he is,
0:08:22 > 0:08:27so I'm going to go for founder of Playboy Magazine is Hugh...
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Oh, God, I forgot his name!
0:08:29 > 0:08:30LAUGHTER
0:08:33 > 0:08:38I can see him in his little red lounge coat with all these bunnies at the airport!
0:08:38 > 0:08:42I tell you what, you paint a very evocative picture there.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43I can't think, damn!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Got it. Quick, go, go!
0:08:48 > 0:08:49- LAUGHTER - Before I forget!
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- Phillip...- Go!
0:08:51 > 0:08:52- Phillip.- Go.- OK, go, I will. Good.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55APPLAUSE
0:08:55 > 0:08:57What you going to go for, Phillip?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Founder of Playboy Magazine, Hugh Hefner.- Hugh Hefner!
0:09:00 > 0:09:03CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Let's see if it's right.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09LAUGHTER
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Hugh Hefner, how many people knew that answer?
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Absolutely right, Phillip. Ooh!
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- Wow. - APPLAUSE
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- A feat of recall, there, I have to say, Phillip.- Yes!
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Very well done, 85. Richard.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Turns out pretty much everybody's familiar with that sort of magazine! LAUGHTER
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Not just people who get stewardesses to send them things through the post.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35LAUGHTER
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Now then, Kat, remember,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42we're looking for the famous Hughs described on the board.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Well, there's only one that I definitely know.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47It's the leader of the UK Labour Party.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51And I think it's Hugh Gaitskell.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52Hugh Gaitskell, says Kat.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people knew Hugh Gaitskell was the answer.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59Absolutely right.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Very well done indeed, 16, Kat. - APPLAUSE
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- 16 for Hugh Gaitskell. Richard. - Well played, Kat.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17He was the Labour leader 10 years after entering Parliament, Hugh Gaitskell.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Never became Prime Minister, though.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Thank you, Richard. Now then, Andy, you're the last person to have this board.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I think you might be able to tidy up for us.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26I wish!
0:10:26 > 0:10:30I'm guessing the King of France is Hugh the something, but I'm not going for that one.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- Mm-hmm...- Erm... British actor, might be Hugh Laurie.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35But I'm going to go for the lead singer of the Stranglers,
0:10:35 > 0:10:41- as punk was pretty much my favourite sort of music. Hugh Cornwell. - Hugh Cornwell, very good.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people knew that answer. Hugh Cornwell.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47Absolutely right.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- Wow, 12! - APPLAUSE
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Punk has served you well, Andy. The lowest score of the pass.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Very well done. 12 for Hugh Cornwell.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I knew Andy would go for that.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Andy and Gordon have got the look, haven't they, of former punks.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08And once a punk, always a punk. They had 22 top 40 hits, the Stranglers,
0:11:08 > 0:11:10and never had a number one.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- I thought Golden Brown...- Golden Brown was number two.- Number two!
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Kept off number one by A Town Called Malice by The Jam.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Aah, well, there we go.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Let's fill in the rest of the board.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21The British actor who plays Dr Gregory House,
0:11:21 > 0:11:23and you're right, Andy, it is Hugh Laurie.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25That would have scored 60 points,
0:11:25 > 0:11:27so it's a big answer.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29The Scottish referee, 1998 and 2002,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32has got the same name as an American soap opera.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Hugh Roseanne!
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- No, sorry... - LAUGHTER
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- Hugh Dallas.- Hugh Dallas.- Two points, well done if you said that.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43And there's a pointless answer, the King of France from 987 to 996,
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Hugh Capet.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48OK, thank you very much, Richard.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Andy and Gordon,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56looking fantastically strong there on 12, lovely, lovely low score.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Then up to 16, where we find Kat and Claire.
0:11:58 > 0:12:0130, where Daley and Phil are to be found.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Whoa! Up to 85, Phillip, I'm sorry to say. Great answer...
0:12:05 > 0:12:07eventually...
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- LAUGHTER - ..with Hugh Hefner. Yes. So, Naomi.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13The pressure is all on you to find a brilliant, low-scoring Hugh,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15and I think if anyone can do it, you can.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20We're going to come back down the line, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:12:20 > 0:12:21So, remember,
0:12:21 > 0:12:24we're looking for famous Hughs described by these clues.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26And here they come. We have got:
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I'll read those all one last time, and here they are.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08There we are. Remember, we are looking for the surnames of these famous Hughs,
0:13:08 > 0:13:13and obviously, Gordon, you're trying to find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Andy did beautifully well with his Hugh Cornwell in the first pass,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19scoring you a lovely low 12 against our high scorers,
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Naomi and Phillip on 85.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Which means a score of 72 or less keeps you in the game.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I'm going to have to go safe.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Erm...and take lead actor in Four Weddings And A Funeral,
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- being Hugh Grant. - OK, Hugh Grant, says Gordon.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38There is your red line,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41below which you are through to the next round for sure.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Let's see if Hugh Grant is right, and if it is, how may people said it.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46Yeah.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- And you are through. Ooh, just! - APPLAUSE
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Needed 72.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Got 70.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Takes your total up to 82.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Very, very well done. Richard. - Yeah, Hugh Grant.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Actor, campaigner, Fulham fan.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Big score, but sees you through to the next round.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- Claire.- Right, I know three.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07I think I'm going for Wolverine, plays Wolverine in the films,
0:14:07 > 0:14:09I'm hoping people don't know the surname,
0:14:09 > 0:14:10it's Hugh Jackman.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Hugh Jackman, says Claire.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14You're on 16. The high scorers on 85
0:14:14 > 0:14:15are still Naomi and Phillip,
0:14:15 > 0:14:17So if you can score 68 or less,
0:14:17 > 0:14:21You are through to the next round, so let's see if Hugh Jackman is right,
0:14:21 > 0:14:22and if it is, how many people said it.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26You're through.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30- 29! - APPLAUSE
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Another great score, 29 takes your total up to 45.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- Richard.- Well played, Claire. Before making it as an actor,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41he used to dress up as Kooey the Koala in an Australian wildlife park.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43LAUGHTER
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- That's nice, isn't it?- He must look back fondly on those days. - He must do.- Naomi, Naomi...
0:14:47 > 0:14:49You are the high scorers on 85.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Your job here is to score as low as you possibly can,
0:14:53 > 0:14:55and hope that is enough to keep you in the round.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58So remember, we're looking for these famous Hughs.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00OK, I'm going to go for River Cottage
0:15:00 > 0:15:02celebrity chef and food writer,
0:15:02 > 0:15:07- Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. - No red line for you, Naomi,
0:15:07 > 0:15:11as you are the high scorers. Let's see if that's right, and hope it goes down as far as it possibly can.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16Fingers crossed. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. Is it right, how many people said it?
0:15:16 > 0:15:17Yep, it's right.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21- 43! - APPLAUSE
0:15:23 > 0:15:2643 takes your total up to 128.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- Richard.- You've given yourself a chance there, Naomi, well done.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall famously cooked and served up placenta to 20 relatives, didn't he?- Yeah.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- Still...- Mmm... Ah, well.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Now, then, Phil, you're the last person in the entire round.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44You also have quite a nice safety margin.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Naomi and Phillip have a total of 128,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48they are the high scorers by a margin.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51If you can score 97 or less with your answer,
0:15:51 > 0:15:53you are through to the next round.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Talk us through the board, and fill in any of the Hughs we haven't yet identified.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00I would love to be able to do that, but I don't know any, I'm afraid!
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Ooh, Naomi and Phillip, listen to this!
0:16:02 > 0:16:04The drama!
0:16:05 > 0:16:08I'm going to have to make a complete guess on this one,
0:16:08 > 0:16:11I'm going to go for plays the Earl of Grantham in Downton Abbey.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12I'm going to go for Hugh Phillips.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17OK, Hugh Phillips. Hugh Phillips, says Phil.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Is it right, how many people said it?
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Who knew?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- Who knew?- Oh, no.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Hugh Phillips, I'm afraid not the Earl of Grantham in Downton Abbey.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31That scored you 100 points, brings your total up to 130.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32- Sorry, Phil. Tough way to go out. - Ooh!
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- It's actually Hugh Bonneville. - I have heard...- Yeah.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39That would have scored you 11 points and seen you safely through.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Burnt at the stake with Nicholas Ridley?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Hugh Latimer would have scored you two points.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47The South African jazz trumpeter?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Played with Paul Simon on Graceland as well as many other things,
0:16:49 > 0:16:52outspoken critic of apartheid, Hugh Masekela.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- Oh, I did know that.- Yeah. Would have scored one point.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57And the other one is a pointless answer,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00pseudonym of the Scots poet, Christopher Murray Grieve.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- It's Hugh MacDiarmid. - Hugh MacDiarmid.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Pointless, would have added some money to the jackpot,
0:17:05 > 0:17:06very well done if you got that at home.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Thank you very much, Richard.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12So at the end of the first round, the pair who leave us with the highest score,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I'm sorry to say, Phil and Daley.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Did you not watch Downton?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- I didn't, no.- No. It's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Sorry we have to say goodbye. Thanks so much for playing.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24- Great contestants. Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:17:26 > 0:17:29But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37And so we are down to three pairs, and at the end of this round,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40another pair will be leaving us,
0:17:40 > 0:17:42so the remaining pairs can face each other in the head-to-head round.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Well, Naomi and Phillip, you have been very lucky,
0:17:45 > 0:17:48you have the high score, but you found Hugh Hefner eventually.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49LAUGHTER
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Let's hope that kind of luck doesn't desert you in this round,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56and maybe will see you even into the head-to-head yet.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Very, very best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Our category for Round Two today is:
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:18:06 > 0:18:10And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:18:14 > 0:18:18to name as many 2012 Oscar-nominated films as they could.
0:18:18 > 0:18:212012 Oscar-nominated films. Richard.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Yes, we're looking for any film nominated in any category at all
0:18:25 > 0:18:29in the Academy Awards ceremony held in 2012, please.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Very, very best of luck.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Thanks very much. Now then, Naomi, what is the most obscure film
0:18:35 > 0:18:40that was nominated for an Oscar in 2012 that you can summon up?
0:18:40 > 0:18:44The only one I can think of is a really, really obvious one.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47So I'm just going to have to go with The Artist.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49OK, The Artist, says Naomi, let's see if it's right,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said The Artist.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00- 26. - APPLAUSE
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- Richard.- Big winner of the whole event, actually, ten nominations, five wins,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13including Best Picture and Best Actor for Jean Dujardin.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Very good indeed. Now, then, Kat.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20I don't know very many, The Artist was the first one in my mind, too.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Erm...
0:19:22 > 0:19:24I'm going to go for The Help.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28The Help, says Kat. How many people said The Help, if it's right?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Absolutely right.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37- Very well done, indeed. - APPLAUSE
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Eight for The Help. Good answer, good score.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- Richard.- Well played, Kat.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Four nominations and one win, Best Supporting Actress for Octavia Spencer.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52And Gordon, we come to you.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56So we are looking for films that were nominated for Oscars in 2012.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58I think I'm going to plump for War Horse.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00War Horse.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Let's see if that's right, and how many of our 100 said War Horse.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12- 19. - APPLAUSE
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- Not bad at all, 19 for War Horse. - Good answer, Gordon. Six nominations,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21including for Best Picture.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Anyway, we're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at those scores. Kat and Claire.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Looking very strong indeed on just eight. Then we go up to 19,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30where we find Gordon and Andy, then up a little bit,
0:20:30 > 0:20:32where we find Naomi and Phillip on 26.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Not massive pressure on you, Phillip, but you are out in front,
0:20:36 > 0:20:38so you're going to have to find a correspondingly low score
0:20:38 > 0:20:41to keep yourselves in the game for the head-to-head.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46We are going to come back down the line, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:20:46 > 0:20:52So, we're looking for films that were nominated for Oscars in 2012.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Andy, the high scorers on 26
0:20:54 > 0:20:57are Phillip and Naomi. You're on 19, so a score of six or less
0:20:57 > 0:20:59sees you deftly into the head-to-head.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03What about, erm... Can't remember the title, really,
0:21:03 > 0:21:06the Meryl Streep film about Margaret Thatcher...
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Was it called...erm...
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Was it called Margaret?
0:21:10 > 0:21:11Go for that.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Here's your red line.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14It's quite low.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Let's see if Margaret is right,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19and if it is, let's see if it gets you below that red line.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Margaret, how many people said that?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Ooh! Bad luck, Andy.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Bad luck, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:21:28 > 0:21:30I think you'll kick yourself when you know the right answer.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33That scores you 100 points,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35takes your total up to 119.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Claire.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Here's good news.- Well...
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Even if you score 100 points, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44You won't overtake Andy and Gordon's high score, 119.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Lucky, that was my answer for that one,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49cos it's the one that's sort of sticking in my brain, which is...
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- Get ready for this. - Yeah, The Iron Lady.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Is it right, The Iron Lady? How many people said it?
0:21:55 > 0:21:56It's right.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- 16! - APPLAUSE
0:22:03 > 0:22:0616 takes your total up to 24.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Excellent low score there.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- The Iron Lady.- Well done, Claire, won Best Actress for Meryl Streep,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- and Best Make-Up, as well. - Now, then, Phillip.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17You've been chucked the most almighty lifeline by Andy, there.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21They are the high scorers, Andy and Gordon on 119.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23You're on 26. A score of 92 or less
0:22:23 > 0:22:25sees you through to the next round.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- Do you think you know an answer? - I've got one.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33I vividly remember Colin Firth speaking to the actress
0:22:33 > 0:22:34directly in the audience
0:22:34 > 0:22:38about something, and I'm going to go for
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Marilyn And Me.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43OK, there is your red line. Lovely and high.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47If Marilyn And Me is correct and goes down below that red line,
0:22:47 > 0:22:50you are through to the head-to-head. Very best of luck.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Let's see.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Marilyn And Me, is it right, how many people said it?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Bad luck, Phillip, bad luck.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07so you also score the maximum of 100 points.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12That takes your total up to 126. Andy and Gordon, phew!
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Phillip, commiserations. Richard.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Sorry, Phillip, your memory almost right, Colin Firth was talking to Michelle Williams,
0:23:20 > 0:23:21who is in the film,
0:23:21 > 0:23:25but it's My Week With Marilyn, which would have scored one point, as well.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Would have been a great answer.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Our 100 could name very few of those Oscar-nominated films.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Some of the very big films like Descendants would have only scored you six,
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, three, Moneyball, Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy, they both scored two.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40So very, very low scores.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Let's take a look at some of the pointless ones, as well.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Plenty of them, Albert Nobbs, Glenn Close nominated for Best Actress,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Janet McTeer for Best Supporting Actress, Drive.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54- Drive? One of my favourite films of the last ten years.- Amazing film. It was only nominated for sound editing.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- Unbelievable.- Midnight In Paris... - Woody Allen.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00..was also pointless, was nominated for Best Picture,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02nominated Best Director for Woody Allen.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Puss In Boots, which was nominated for Best Animated Film,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, The Ides Of March,
0:24:07 > 0:24:11George Clooney nominated there for his part in that screenplay.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15The Muppets, which was nominated for Best Song, Bret McKenzie from Flight Of The Conchords.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20Er... The Tree Of Life, also nominated for Best Film, and the Madonna...
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- WE, that's a GREAT film(!) - Nominated for Best Costume.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27So an awful lot of pointless answers there, and we've already heard
0:24:27 > 0:24:29all three top answers, the worst answers you could have given.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32The Iron Lady, the third most popular answer, 16, Claire said that.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34War Horse, Gordon said.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Would have scored 19.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37And at the top, The Artist,
0:24:37 > 0:24:39which Naomi gave us, 26.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Well, thanks very much, Richard. So, at the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48I'm afraid it's the end of the road for Phillip and Naomi.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51You've had some great swings and roundabouts,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- haven't you, on this show?- Yeah.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Anyway, Phillip and Naomi,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57lovely having you on the show, thank you for playing.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59- Thanks. - APPLAUSE
0:24:59 > 0:25:00But for the remaining two pairs,
0:25:00 > 0:25:04things are about to get even more exciting now, as we enter the head-to-head.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Well, congratulations, Kat and Claire, Andy and Gordon,
0:25:13 > 0:25:16you are now only one round away from the final, and the chance
0:25:16 > 0:25:20to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £4,250.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22APPLAUSE
0:25:25 > 0:25:27So you're now going to go head-to-head,
0:25:27 > 0:25:30and the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34The great news is, you are now allowed to confer,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36so you can play as a team.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Very, very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41APPLAUSE
0:25:46 > 0:25:49OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns:
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Richard.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57We're going to show you five pictures of people who have been named
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Time Magazine's Person Of The Year, a feature they've been running since 1927.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Can you name the most obscure of these, please?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05OK, thanks very much, Richard.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Let's reveal our Time Magazine Person Of The Year,
0:26:09 > 0:26:10and here they are.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11We have got:
0:26:24 > 0:26:30OK, there we are. Five People Of The Year from Time Magazine.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Now, then, Kat and Claire,
0:26:32 > 0:26:36cos you've played best throughout the show so far, you get to go first.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41THEY WHISPER
0:26:42 > 0:26:44OK.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Erm... OK, we're going to go for A, Mark Zuckerberg.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52Mark Zuckerberg, you are saying, is A. Mark Zuckerberg, A.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Andy and Gordon, you can talk us through the board.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57OK, well, erm...
0:26:57 > 0:27:00We're both pretty confident we know B and E.
0:27:00 > 0:27:05We think B is Gorbachev, and E looks a bit like Stalin.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- Shall we go for Stalin? - I think we'll go for him, yes.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09We'll go for E, Stalin.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11E, Stalin.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15So we have Mark Zuckerberg and we have Stalin.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Kat and Claire, you've said that A is Mark Zuckerberg.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people knew that.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23It's right...
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- 22! - APPLAUSE
0:27:32 > 0:27:33Not bad.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38Not bad. Andy and Gordon, you are saying that E is Stalin. E, Stalin.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Let's see if that's right,
0:27:40 > 0:27:42and if it is, let's see how many people knew that.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Absolutely right.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50- 43. - APPLAUSE
0:27:51 > 0:27:56Mark Zuckerberg wins it for Kat and Claire, which means after one question, you are up 1-0. Richard.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00Yes, Stalin almost twice as well-known as Mark Zuckerberg, which is surprising.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02He won it twice, Stalin, in 1939 and 1942.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06Mark Zuckerberg, good answer, won it in 2010.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07Mr Facebook.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12The others, you were quite right about B, that is Mikhail Gorbachev.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Would have scored you 30 points, though.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16And the other two answers are the ones
0:28:16 > 0:28:18that would have won you the points. C is... Do you know C?
0:28:18 > 0:28:20I know his face.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23It's Ted Turner. The American businessman, would have scored five points,
0:28:23 > 0:28:24used to be married to Jane Fonda.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29And D, for six points, is Haile Selassie.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- He looked like Sacha Baron Cohen! - Yeah.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33LAUGHTER
0:28:33 > 0:28:35I never knew that.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39- Ruled Ethiopia for 45 years, won Man Of The Year in 1935.- Wow.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44Here is your second question, and it concerns:
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Richard.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50For this question, we're going to show you five clues to facts
0:28:50 > 0:28:54- about Buckingham Palace, can you give us the most obscure answer? - OK, thanks very much.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Andy and Gordon, you have to win this to stay in the game.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Let's reveal our five facts about Buckingham Palace. Here they are:
0:29:19 > 0:29:21I'll read those one last time.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39There we are. Five clues to facts about Buckingham Palace.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Andy and Gordon, you go first.
0:29:41 > 0:29:42(First monarch?)
0:29:42 > 0:29:44(Er... Victoria...)
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Um... I think we're going to go for the flag,
0:29:47 > 0:29:49which is hopefully the Royal Standard.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52The Royal Standard, say Andy and Gordon, for the flag which flies
0:29:52 > 0:29:55over the Palace when the monarch's in residence. Kat and Claire,
0:29:55 > 0:29:59you can talk us through the rest of the board, if you like.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01That was the one we were going to go for!
0:30:01 > 0:30:04We know the road connecting it to Trafalgar Square is The Mall.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07And the guitarist who played was Brian May.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10We can't remember if the first monarch was Queen Victoria.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- Which shall we go for? - Shall we go for The Mall?
0:30:13 > 0:30:17Yeah. The road connecting it to Trafalgar Square, The Mall.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21We have the Royal Standard and The Mall, our two answers.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25Andy and Gordon, you have to win this question to stay in the game. Bearing which in mind, let's see.
0:30:25 > 0:30:26The Royal Standard. Is that right?
0:30:26 > 0:30:29And if so, how many people said it? The Royal Standard.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Absolutely right.
0:30:36 > 0:30:3721.
0:30:40 > 0:30:4221 for the Royal Standard.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Kat and Claire, you've said The Mall is the road that connects
0:30:47 > 0:30:51Buckingham Palace to Trafalgar Square. Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people said it.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54It's absolutely right.
0:30:54 > 0:30:5521's what you have to beat.
0:30:57 > 0:30:5939. 39 for The Mall.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01APPLAUSE
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Well done, Andy and Gordon. You are back in the game.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06After two questions, it's 1-1. Richard?
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Well played, Andy and Gordon. Kat, if you had
0:31:08 > 0:31:11taken a risk on the first monarch, what would you have gone for?
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- Victoria.- I think Queen Victoria.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15You'd be in the final. It is Victoria,
0:31:15 > 0:31:17would have scored you 15 points.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20The guitarist who played on the roof, you're right, was Brian May.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22But that would have scored you way too many.
0:31:22 > 0:31:2442 points, the biggest answer there.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27The best answer was the architect engaged to modify the palace.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29It was John Nash.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32He nearly doubled it in size, two points.
0:31:32 > 0:31:37Now then, here comes our third and final question - the decider.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Whoever wins this question goes through to the final
0:31:40 > 0:31:42and plays for that impressive jackpot. Here it comes.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46It concerns:
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- Richard?- We're going to show you five common terms
0:31:49 > 0:31:52for parts of the human eye but we've left out alternate letters.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56Can you identify them, please, and pick the most obscure? Good luck, both teams.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59OK, let's reveal our five parts of the eye
0:31:59 > 0:32:02with missing alternate letters.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03And we have got...
0:32:18 > 0:32:21I'll read those again, without the blanks.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Kat and Claire. You get to go first.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42OK. I think we're going to go for cornea, the second one down.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46OK, you're going to go for cornea, the second one down?
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Andy and Gordon, you can confer a bit longer if you need to.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56We know two, pupil and iris.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00We don't seem to be able to make any sense of the top one
0:33:00 > 0:33:02or the second one up from the bottom
0:33:02 > 0:33:05so we're going to have to go with the bottom one
0:33:05 > 0:33:06and we'll say iris.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Iris, for the bottom one?
0:33:08 > 0:33:11So we have cornea and iris.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Kat and Claire have gone for cornea. Let's see if that's right
0:33:14 > 0:33:16and, if it is, how many people said cornea.
0:33:18 > 0:33:19It's right.
0:33:23 > 0:33:24Cornea, 58.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28APPLAUSE
0:33:29 > 0:33:3158 for cornea. Now then,
0:33:31 > 0:33:34this will decide who stays and who goes.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38Iris, you have gone for. Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41It's right, will it beat...?
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Well, there we are.
0:33:43 > 0:33:4481.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47APPLAUSE
0:33:48 > 0:33:5281. Which means, after three questions, Kat and Claire,
0:33:52 > 0:33:55you are through to the final, 2-1. Very well done indeed.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Yeah. Unlucky, gents.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06As you worked out, there were two killer answers there.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10Pupil isn't one of them. Pupil would have scored you 92.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13The second one from the bottom, it's a muscle,
0:34:13 > 0:34:16that's the second word. It's the ciliary muscle.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Would have scored three. That's a tough one.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22The top one, you might have worked out.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25One of the more common eye complaints is conjunctivitis.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28That's an inflammation of the conjunctiva.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31That would have scored four points.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Very well done if you got all of those at home.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36So, thanks very much, Richard.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38The losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,
0:34:38 > 0:34:40I'm afraid, Andy and Gordon.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43They were really hard, those ones. Conjunctiva?
0:34:43 > 0:34:45- I just couldn't see it.- I know. Hey!
0:34:45 > 0:34:48LAUGHTER
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Yeah, conjunctiva. I didn't see that one either.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58And as for the ciliary muscle, well, we've all learned something.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01One of the muscles that helps shape the lens.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03It helps give shape to the lens.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06There's good news, Andy and Gordon, you have to remember.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09We'll see you again next time! We'll have to look forward to that
0:35:09 > 0:35:12and say goodbye to you now. Thanks, meanwhile, for playing.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16- You've been brilliant. Great, great contestants.- Thank you.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19But, for Kat and Claire, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:25 > 0:35:26Congratulations, Kat and Claire.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29You've just seen off all the competition
0:35:29 > 0:35:31and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £4,250.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Well, you've made that look very, very easy.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Were you confident you might make it this far?
0:35:53 > 0:35:57No, not at all. If sport and things had come up, we'd have been...
0:35:57 > 0:36:00We were lucky, I think, with the questions.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03The rules are simple. To win that money, you have to find
0:36:03 > 0:36:06a pointless answer. We haven't had any pointless answers today.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08You only have to find one now and you go home with the money.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12Firstly, you've got to choose a category from these five options.
0:36:12 > 0:36:13They are...
0:36:23 > 0:36:25It's Katie Price, isn't it?
0:36:25 > 0:36:29- LAUGHTER - I don't think it's going to be Katie Price.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33- Statistics seems weird. What can that be?- It could be anything.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- Do you think Literary Detectives? - I think Literary Detectives.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41- OK. Yep, we'll go for that. - Literary Detectives.- Yep.- OK.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Very best of luck. Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:36:46 > 0:36:49as many Sherlock Holmes stories as they could.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Sherlock Holmes stories. Richard.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54Yeah. We're looking for the title of any Sherlock Holmes
0:36:54 > 0:36:57short story or novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59We're not looking for the names of collections of stories,
0:36:59 > 0:37:03just any short story or novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04Very best of luck.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07OK. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10All you need to win that £4,250
0:37:10 > 0:37:15is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:15 > 0:37:16OK. We'll put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:19 > 0:37:24Right. I think there's The Letter In Scarlet. There's A Sign Of Four.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26The Hound Of The Baskervilles which is a really obvious one.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Um, I'm trying to think.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- I don't know any. - Do you not? Oh, no. Um...
0:37:31 > 0:37:35- Good luck.- I know. I read them when I was quite young.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- So The Letter in Scarlet.- The Letter in Scarlet would be one to go for.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- What was the second one?- The Sign Of Four.- The Sign Of Four.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- The Hound Of The Baskervilles. - Is a really obvious one.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47I'm just trying to think if there's any other ones...
0:37:47 > 0:37:51I'm trying to think of ones they've done recently.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Curses. Trying to think...
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- Well, that's three.- That is three.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- Have you watched it on television at all?- Yeah, but I can't remember any.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- The titles of them?- Yeah.- Um...
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- What about...- Go on.- No, no.
0:38:06 > 0:38:07We've got 13 seconds.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- Get it out.- No, no. - Ten seconds left.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- I can't think of any others. - OK. Those are our three then.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18- OK. You've got your three.- We've got our three.- A little time to spare.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21There we are. We were looking for Sherlock Holmes stories.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24I now need your three answers. What are you going to give me?
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- A Letter In Scarlet. - A Letter In Scarlet.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- Hound Of The Baskervilles. - Hound Of The Baskervilles.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- And... What did I say? The Sign Of Four?- The Sign Of Four.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36- The Sign Of Four.- The Sign Of Four. OK. There are your three answers.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Of those three, which one do you want to put last?
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Your most likely shot at a pointless answer.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- Perhaps A Letter In Scarlet... - A Letter In Scarlet we'll put third.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- And your least likely? - Hound Of The Baskervilles. Everyone knows that.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51OK. Let's put those up on the board in that order.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54We have got...
0:38:58 > 0:39:01So, we were looking for Sherlock Holmes stories.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Your first answer,
0:39:03 > 0:39:06the one you thought was least likely to be pointless,
0:39:06 > 0:39:08was The Hound Of The Baskervilles.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11You only have to find one pointless answer, remember, to win that £4,250.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Kat, what would you do with 4,250 quid?
0:39:14 > 0:39:18- Well, I'd properly have to give Claire half.- Yes.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20If you don't tell her about it...
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Oh, right. OK.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Well, I'm in the process of buying a house
0:39:24 > 0:39:27- so it'll probably get swallowed up in all of that.- Very handy. Claire.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31Um, we've got relatives out in Australia, my husband's brother.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34We've not met one of the nephews yet.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36So we might fly out there. Or alternatively,
0:39:36 > 0:39:39I'd like to buy a bass guitar for my husband cos he hasn't got one.
0:39:39 > 0:39:40Very good indeed.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43OK. Well, let's see. Hound Of The Baskervilles, is it right,
0:39:43 > 0:39:46and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Hound Of The Baskervilles?
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Well, I think we knew it was right. No great surprise there.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Let's just see where it stops.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58Oh. Right. Well, there we are.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00APPLAUSE
0:40:02 > 0:40:05So, unfortunately, not a pointless answer.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:09 > 0:40:1355, Hound Of The Baskervilles. We're looking for Sherlock Holmes stories.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Let's hope nobody said your next answer, The Sign Of four.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20This has to be right and it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Let's see. Sign Of four. How many people said it?
0:40:26 > 0:40:31Well, it's right. The Hound Of The Baskervilles stopped now on 55.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Sign Of Four still going down. If it continues to go down
0:40:34 > 0:40:35all the way to zero,
0:40:35 > 0:40:37you leave with... Ooooh.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40APPLAUSE
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Another answer that wasn't pointless,
0:40:46 > 0:40:49but only six people knew The Sign Of Four.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53- That's quite a famous one, I think. - And you think A Letter In Scarlet...
0:40:53 > 0:40:57- I don't know.- It was the first one you said, actually. - Yeah, I hope it's right.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00OK. So, we were looking for Sherlock Holmes stories.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Your third and final answer was A Letter In Scarlet.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £4,250.
0:41:07 > 0:41:08A Letter In Scarlet.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15- Oh, no.- Oh, no.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17- Oh, no.- Rats.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19I've made it up.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22APPLAUSE
0:41:22 > 0:41:27- It sounded incredibly plausible. - Yeah, I've made it up.- Wow.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30- You should go and write some stories.- Yeah! - It sounds brilliant. Unfortunately,
0:41:30 > 0:41:33you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36So, I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £4,250
0:41:36 > 0:41:39which rolls over to the next show. You've been brilliant contestants
0:41:39 > 0:41:43and you do of course get to take home our fabulous Pointless trophy. Very well done.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46APPLAUSE
0:41:50 > 0:41:55Yes, sorry. It's his very first novel and it was A Study In Scarlet.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58A Study In Scarlet, the very first novel.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01That would have scored you 9 points, so it wouldn't have been a pointless answer.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03All the pointless answers are short stories.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Let's take a look at some of them now.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10The Adventure Of The Abbey Grange, the 1904 short story.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13The Adventure Of The Creeping Man. The Adventure Of The Devil's Foot.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16The Adventure Of The Empty House, the first short story after
0:42:16 > 0:42:19he returns from a supposed death at the Reichenbach Falls.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22A very early short story, The Adventure Of The Engineer's thumb.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25The Adventure Of The Red Circle.
0:42:25 > 0:42:30The Adventure Of The Second Stain. The Adventure Of The Sussex Vampire. Conan Doyle retired to Sussex,
0:42:30 > 0:42:32as did Sherlock Holmes, to become a beekeeper.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34And The Adventure Of The Veiled Lodger.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40Thanks, Richard. Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you, Kat and Claire.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42It's been great having you on the show.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Thank you both so much for playing. Brilliant contestants.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47APPLAUSE
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Nobody's won our jackpot today, so it rolls over, which means
0:42:53 > 0:42:57on the next show, we will be playing for £5,250.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00APPLAUSE
0:43:00 > 0:43:04- Join us then to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:04 > 0:43:05And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
